2. Supplemental Balance Sheet Disclosures

 

Unbilled Receivables

 

Unbilled receivables principally represent sales recorded under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting that, in accordance with applicable contract terms, have not been billed to customers.  Unbilled receivables, net of progress payments and an impairment of $3.6 million related to the Delta contract at March 31, 2016 were $1.7 million.  Unbilled receivables, net of progress payments and an impairment of $1.3 million related to a certain customer and an impairment of $3.6 million related to the Delta contract at September 30, 2015 were $3.9 million. The Company negotiated changes to its agreement with a customer in January 2016 whereby the $1.3 million of unbilled receivables previously charged to bad debt expense in the quarter ended September 30, 2015 were cancelled.

 

Significant changes in estimates related to accounting for long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion method 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 increased operating income by $398,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and increased operating income by $352,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2016. These increases to operating income are primarily related to reversals of loss accruals due to the cancellation of certain product deliverables as negotiated with a certain customer in January, 2016.  Cumulative catch-up adjustments resulting from changes in estimates increased operating income by $354,000 and $720,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, respectively.
