Progress billings in accounts receivable at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 included retentions to be collected within one year of $27.4 million and $19.9 million, respectively. Contract retentions collectible beyond one year totaled $4.9 million at March 31, 2014 and $3.1 million at June 30, 2013. SME Receivables The Company continues to pursue collection of a certain receivable acquired in connection with the purchase of S.M. Electric Company, Inc. in February 2009. The recorded values at March 31, 2014 include $0.7 million in claim receivables, which represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount to be collected under a claim, and an additional $2.9 million for amounts due under the related contract. Recovering the remaining receivables will require mediation or litigation and the ultimate amount realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts, which could result in a material adjustment to future earnings. Other In the nine months ended March 31, 2014, our results of operations were materially impacted by a charge resulting from a change in estimate on an aboveground storage tank project. The charge resulted in a $5.4 million decrease in operating income for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. The project is a loss project; therefore, the entire projected loss has been recorded. The charge reflects management's best estimate of the total contract revenues to be recognized and total costs at completion. In the nine months ended March 31, 2013, we recognized a project charge on a separate aboveground storage tank project due to a change in estimate that resulted in a $3.1 million decrease in operating income.
