Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent deferred revenue on the balance sheet plus fixed fee or minimum guarantee contracts where the revenue will be recognized and the cash received in the future (i.e., backlog). Revenues expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied at September 30, 2019 are as follows:

The above table does not include estimates of variable consideration for transactions involving sales or usage-based royalties in exchange for licenses of intellectual property. The revenues included in the above table include all fixed fee contracts regardless of duration. Revenues of $50.1 million and $115.0 million, including variable and fixed fee arrangements, were recognized during the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, from performance obligations satisfied prior to March 31, 2019. These revenues were primarily associated with the distribution of television and theatrical product in electronic sell-through and video-on-demand formats, and to a lesser extent, the distribution of theatrical product in the domestic and international markets related to films initially released in prior periods. Contract Assets and Deferred Revenue The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections affects the recognition of accounts receivable, contract assets and deferred revenue. At September 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, accounts receivable, contract assets and deferred revenue are as follows:
Item |  | Balance Sheet Location |  | September 30, 2019 |  | March 31, 2019 |  | Addition (Reduction)
|  |  |  | (Amounts in millions) |  |
Accounts receivable, net - current |  | Accounts receivable, net |  | $ | 664.2 |  |  | $ | 647.2 |  |  | $ | 17.0 |

(1) | Included in prepaid expenses and other.
Contract assets relate to the Company’s conditional right to consideration for completed performance under the contract (e.g., unbilled receivables). Amounts relate primarily to contractual payment holdbacks in cases in which the Company is required to deliver additional episodes or seasons of television content in order to receive payment, complete certain administrative activities, such as guild filings, or allow the Company's customers' audit rights to expire. The change in balance of contract assets is primarily due to the satisfaction of the condition related to payment holdbacks. Deferred revenue relates primarily to customer cash advances or deposits received prior to when the Company satisfies the corresponding performance obligation. Revenues of $32.4 million and $99.8 million were recognized during the three and six months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, related to the balance of deferred revenue at March 31, 2019.
