When the SEC's staff reviews a filing, it writes to the company with numbered questions, and the company answers each one in a letter. SEC publishes the exchange once the review is over, at least 20 business days later. A question is not an accusation; most reviews end with the company adding detail to its next filing.

Item 1 – Business, page 5
SEC asked (1)
We note your backlog increased substantially during 2016. Please clarify how backlog is calculated, disclose the amount of backlog attributable to each reportable segment, and disclose the amount of total backlog expected to be realized in the next year as required by Items 101(c)(1) and 101(c)(1)(viii) of Regulation S-K.
Rest of the question

To allow better insight into the changes in your backlog from period to period, please consider providing a roll-forward of backlog. The roll-forward should include current period beginning and ending balances, current period additions, cancellations and amounts recognized in sales, as well as any other major categories relevant to your facts and circumstances. Please also revise MD&A to address anticipated trends in margins based on the current backlog.
