Contract Assets

 

Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from arrangements whereby the right to payment is conditional on completing additional tasks or services for a performance obligation. The increase in contract assets from year end is primarily a result of consulting services projects for which revenue was recognized in the current period but has not yet been billed. No impairments to contract assets were incurred during the nine months ended January 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

Significant changes in the contract assets balances during the period were as follows:

Contract Liabilities

 

Contract liabilities consist of amounts invoiced to customers in excess of revenue recognized. The decrease in contract liabilities from year end is primarily due to converting previous payments collected to recognized revenue in the current year.
