Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts |
4. | Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts
Revenues from contracts are primarily recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of contract costs incurred to date compared with estimated total contract costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers contract costs to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. For contracts where the duration is short, total contract revenue is insignificant, or reasonably dependable estimates cannot be made, revenues are recognized on a completed contract basis, when risk and title passes to the customer, which is generally upon shipment of product. During the second quarter, the Company’s Zhongli division within the Energy segment has recognized revenue on a percentage of completion method compared to the completed contracts method that was utilized in previous quarters. This change was made after determining that the Company had designed and implemented appropriate controls to track project costs and estimates to complete. During the three months and nine months periods ended September 30, 2016, this division recognized $5.2 million and $13.4 million, respectively, in percentage of completion revenue related to open projects as of September 30, 2016. Our contracts have various lengths to completion ranging from a few days to several months. We anticipate that a majority of our current contracts will be completed within the next twelve months.
