Deferred Revenue

 

The Company offers to its customers extended warranty and service contracts. These contracts typically cover a period of one to five years, and include advance payments that are recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue is recognized as services are performed over the life of the contract, which represents the period over which these revenues are earned. Costs associated with these extended warranty and service contracts are expensed to cost of goods sold as incurred.
