Contract assets relate to contracts for which revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis, however billings escalate over the life of a contract. Contract assets also include amounts recognized as revenue in advance of billings to customers, which are dependent upon the satisfaction of another performance obligation. These amounts are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

The contract liabilities relate to the advance consideration received from customers for services that will be recognized over time (primarily fuel cell and related infrastructure services). These amounts are included within deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet. Contract liabilities also include advance consideration received from customers prior to delivery of products. These amounts are included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
