NOTE C – CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date on contracts with customers. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional. Contract liabilities primarily relate to contracts where advance payments or deposits have been received, but performance obligations have not yet been satisfied, and therefore, revenue has not been recognized. During the three and six months ended October 31, 2024, we recognized $8.3 million and $16.0 million, respectively, of our contract liabilities at April 30, 2024 as revenue. During the three and six months ended October 31, 2023, we recognized $4.4 million and $8.1 million, respectively, of our contract liabilities at April 30, 2023 as revenue. If contract losses are anticipated, a loss provision is recorded for the full amount of such losses when they are determinable. Contract losses for three and six months ended October 31, 2024 were approximately $0.2 million in both periods, offset by a loss reduction of approximately $0.3 million, mostly related to additional funding. Total contract losses for three and six months ended October 31, 2023 were approximately $1.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The liability for contract losses is presented as loss provision accrual within the consolidated balance sheets.
