NOTE 6 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company generally extends credit to a customer based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition without requiring tangible collateral. Typically, invoices presented to domestic owners of EPC projects are paid within the same month as the billing. Customer payments on other construction, fabrication and field service contracts are generally due within 30 to 60 days of billing, depending on the negotiated terms of the corresponding contract. Exposure to losses on accounts and notes receivable is expected to differ due to the varying financial condition of each customer. The Company monitors its exposure to credit losses and may establish an allowance for credit losses based on management’s estimate of the loss that is expected to occur over the remaining life of the particular financial asset. For Fiscal 2022, the amount of the provision for credit losses expected by management was $2.4 million. The amounts of the provision for credit losses for Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2021 were insignificant. The amounts of the allowance for credit losses as of January 31, 2023 and 2022, were $1.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
