Contract costs consist primarily of labor and materials and related overhead, to the extent that such costs are recoverable. Revenues associated with these matters is recorded only when the amount of recovery can be estimated reliably and realization is probable.
As of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Company had deferred revenues totaling $154,057 and $382,130, respectively. Deferred revenues represent customer prepayments on their contracts and completed contracts on which all revenue recognition criteria were not met. Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts in excess of progress billings are net of allowances for losses of $566,396 and $333,944 at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Advance billing and deposits includes down payments for acquisition of materials and progress payments on contracts. The agreements with the buyers of the Company’s products allow the Company to offset the progress payments against the costs incurred.
