CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

9 Months Ended

3.	CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Contract assets represent revenue recognized on contracts in excess of amounts invoiced to the customers and the Company’s right to consideration is conditional on something other than the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Under the typical payment terms of our government as well as military contractor contracts, the customer retains a portion of the contract price until completion of the contract, as a measure of protection for the customer. Our government and military contractor contracts therefore typically result in revenue recognized in excess of billings, which we present as contract assets. Contract assets are classified as current assets. The Company’s contract liabilities represent customer payments received or due from the customer in excess of revenue recognized. Contract liabilities are classified as current liabilities.
