The changes in the contract asset and the contract liability balances primarily result from the timing difference between the satisfaction of performance obligations and the payments collected from customers. Significant changes of contract assets and liabilities recognized resulting from product and service bundling were as follows:

The Company applies the simplified approach to recognize expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss provision for receivables. Contract assets will be reclassified to trade receivables when the corresponding invoice is billed to the client. Contract assets have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables of the same types of contracts. Therefore, the Company concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables can be applied to the contract assets.

Revenue recognized for the year that was included in the contract liability at the beginning of the year was as follows:

The Company considered the past experience and the default clauses in the telecommunications service contracts and believes the commissions and equipment subsidies paid for obtaining such contracts are expected to be recoverable; therefore, such costs were capitalized. Amortization expenses for the years ended December 31 2020, 2021 and 2022 were $772 million, $815 million and $841 million, respectively.

d.
Remaining Performance Obligations

As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations for non-cancellable telecommunications service contracts that are unsatisfied is $31,247 million. The Company recognizes revenue when service is provided over contract terms. The Company expects to recognize such revenue of $18,976 million, $9,517 million and $2,754 million in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. The variable consideration collected from customers on nonrecurring basis resulting from exceeded usage from monthly fee and revenue recognized for contracts that the Company has a right to consideration from customers in the amount corresponding directly with the value to the customers of the Company’s performance completed to date have been excluded from the disclosure of remaining performance obligations.

As of December 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations for non-cancellable project business contracts that are unsatisfied is $25,007 million. The Company recognizes revenues when the project business contract is completed and accepted by customers. The Company expects to recognize such revenue of $9,374 million, $6,447 million and $9,186 million in 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Project business contracts whose expected duration are less than a year have been excluded from the aforementioned disclosure.
