Alfa Financial Software Holdings PLC Announces Finalisation of revenue recognition for contract extension Alfa Financial Software Holdings PLC provided update on revenue recognition for a recently won contract. As previously announced that it had won a five year extension to the maintenance and licence subscription for an existing client. The contract is different to its usual contracts in that there was no associated implementation project, therefore a number of judgements were needed which affected the period in which the revenues should be recognised. At the time of the announcement, it assumed that it would recognise at least 15% of the contract value in 2020, which was in line with the initial cash receipt. It has now completed its analysis of the contract in accordance with accounting standards and have concluded that some of this revenue will need to be accelerated because there is no further work required to deliver the licence. That component (representing just under 40% of the total contract value) will therefore be recognised as a one-off amount on signing the contract in October 2020. The balance which represents the maintenance component will be recognised over the five year life of the contract. As a consequence, it expectations for revenue recognition in 2020 from this contract will be £4 million ahead of its previous expectations. There have been no changes to the contract itself.
