Unbilled Receivables

 

Unbilled receivables principally represent sales recorded under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting that have not been billed to customers in accordance with applicable contract terms.  Unbilled receivables, net of customer payments, were $7.3 million and $6.5 million at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, respectively.

 

The percentage-of-completion method of accounting for EDC revenue requires estimates of profit margins for contracts be reviewed by the Company on a quarterly basis. If the initial estimates of revenues and costs under a contract are accurate, the percentage-of-completion method results in the profit margin being recorded evenly as revenue is recognized under the contract. Changes in these underlying estimates due to revisions in revenue and cost estimates or the exercise of contract options may result in profit margins being recognized unevenly over the life of a contract because such changes are accounted for on a cumulative basis in the period in which the estimates are revised.  Significant changes in estimates related to accounting for long-term contracts may have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations in the period in which the revised estimates are made. Cumulative catch-up adjustments resulting from changes in estimates reduced operating income by $183,000 and $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
