   contemplation of the future performance of services, receipt of goods, incurrence of expenditures,
   or for other assets to be provided by Spirit on a contract and are repayable if such obligation is
   not satisfied. The amount of advance payments to be recovered against units expected to be
   delivered within a year is classified as a short-term liability, with the balance of the
   unliquidated advance payments classified as a long-term liability.
   &lt;/div&gt;
   &lt;div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&lt;i&gt;Deferred revenue. &lt;/i&gt;Deferred revenue consists of nonrefundable amounts received in advance of
   revenue being earned for specific contractual deliverables. These payments are classified as
   deferred revenue when received and recognized as revenue as the production units are delivered.
