The Company sells certain billed contract receivables in accordance with its Master Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “MRPA”) with MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“MUFG”). The contract receivables that are sold without recourse and where the Company does not retain any ongoing financial interest in the transferred receivables, other than providing servicing activities, are accounted for as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (“ASC 860”). Consequently, these contract receivables are derecognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at the date of the sale, and the cash received from MUFG is presented as part of cash flows from operating activities.

The following is a reconciliation of billed contract receivables sold to MUFG that were eligible and accounted for as sales under ASC 860, including billed contract receivables sold to MUFC and collected from customers on behalf of MUFG during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the balance of billed contract receivables not yet collected from the customers as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively:
