(1) Convertible note receivable from Global Telecomm Corporation was reclassified from non-current assets to current assets as of July 31, 2019.

Customer Acquisition Costs. The Company capitalizes a significant portion of its sales commission costs as an incremental cost of obtaining customer contracts and amortizes to sales and marketing expense over an expected benefit period of five years. Amortization expense for deferred sales commissions was $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1.4 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. To date, there have been no impairment losses related to the costs capitalized.

Global Telecomm Corporation (“GTC”).  In December 2018, the Company invested $1.3 million in cash to Global Telecomm Corporation, a small privately-held technology company, in exchange for an 18-month convertible promissory note, bearing interest at 10% annually, that will convert to shares of GTC common or preferred stock upon the occurrence of certain future events. The Company has partnered with GTC on certain research and development and inventory procurement activities. GTC is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for accounting purposes. However, the Company is not required to consolidate GTC into its financial statements because the Company is not the primary beneficiary. As of October 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019, the Company’s maximum exposure to loss was equal to the carrying value of its convertible note receivable, including accrued interest. For all periods presented, the Company held no other variable interests in VIEs.

As a result of the Company’s investment, GTC is a related party of Ooma. During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019, the Company procured certain raw material inventories from GTC that amounted to approximately $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively. As of October 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019, the Company recorded prepaid inventory deposits to GTC of $0.5 million and zero, respectively, included in other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of October 31, 2019 and January 31, 2019, the Company’s non-cancelable purchase commitments with GTC were $2.2 million and zero, respectively.
