REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.  Amounts invoiced or collected in advance of product delivery or providing services are recorded as deferred revenue or customer deposits.  The company accrues for sales returns, bad debts, and other allowances based on its historical experience. Net sales under certain long-term contracts for product design, which may provide for periodic payments, are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method. Estimated cost-at-completion for these contracts are reviewed on a routine periodic basis, and adjustments are made periodically to the estimated cost-at-completion, based on actual costs incurred, progress made, and estimates of the costs required to complete the contractual requirements. When the estimated cost-at-completion exceeds the contract value, the contract is written down to its net realizable value, and the loss resulting from cost overruns is immediately recognized.

 

To properly match net sales with costs, certain contracts may have revenue recognized in excess of billings (unbilled revenues), and other contracts may have billings in excess of net sales recognized (customer deposits). Under long-term contracts, the prerequisites for billing the customer for periodic payments generally involve the Company's achievement of contractually specific, objective milestones.

 

Revenue for services contracts will be recognized under a proportional performance model if the following criteria are met (i) the arrangement provides for periodic billings as services are provided (ii) the customer receives value as the services as rendered, not just upon the completion of the services and (iii) the customer need not re-perform services that it has already received if it terminates the service contract early and hires another service provider to complete the service deliverable. If these criteria are not met, the Company will recognize revenue on the service contracts using the completed contract method.
