Receivables

Receivables reflected in the financial statements represent the net amount expected to be collected. An allowance for credit losses is established based on expected losses. Expected losses are estimated by reviewing individual accounts, considering aging, financial condition of the debtor, recent payment history, current and forecast economic conditions and other relevant factors. Upon billing, aging of receivables is monitored until collection. An account is considered current when it is within agreed upon payment terms. An account is written off when it is determined that the asset is no longer collectible. Retainage on construction contracts represents amounts withheld by our customers on long-term projects until the project reaches a level of completion where amounts are released.

Contract assets and liabilities

Contract assets consist of retainage, costs and earnings in excess of billings and other unbilled amounts typically generated when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of costs and earnings and other deferred revenue on contracts. Retainage is classified within receivables and deferred revenue is classified within other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

The time period between when performance obligations are complete and when payment is due is not significant. In certain of our businesses that recognize revenue over time, progress billings follow an agreed-upon schedule of values, and retainage is withheld by the customer until the project reaches a level of completion where amounts are released.

(In thousands)	August 28, 2021		February 27, 2021
Contract assets	$	60,022	$	74,664
Contract liabilities	24,096		25,000

The change in contract assets and contract liabilities was mainly due to timing of project activity within our businesses that operate under long-term contracts.

Other contract-related disclosures	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(In thousands)	August 28, 2021		August 29, 2020		August 28, 2021		August 29, 2020
Revenue recognized related to contract liabilities from prior year-end	$	2,479	$	1,184	$	16,579	$	14,195
Revenue recognized related to prior satisfaction of performance obligations	5,354		3,652		7,518		6,529

Some of our contracts have an expected duration of longer than a year, with performance obligations extending over that timeframe. Generally, these contracts are in our businesses with long-term contracts which recognize revenue over time. As of August 28, 2021, the transaction price associated with unsatisfied performance obligations was approximately $857.2 million. The performance obligations are expected to be satisfied, and the corresponding revenue to be recognized, over the following estimated time periods:

(In thousands)	August 28, 2021
Within one year	$	500,758
Within two years	341,749
Beyond	14,674
Total	$	857,181
