Contract costs consist primarily of labor and materials and related overhead. Contract costs also include estimated contract recoveries for matters such as contract changes and claims for unanticipated contract changes. Revenue associated with these matters are recorded only when the amount of recovery can be estimated reliably and realization is probable.

 

As of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Company had deferred revenues totaling $1,693,363 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 $301,386 and $333,944 at September 30, 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.
