NOTE 2:            SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue and Income Recognition

Revenues from fixed price contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured on the basis of incurred costs to estimated total costs for each contract. This cost to cost method is used because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs.

Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

The asset, “Cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed.

The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents amounts billed in excess of revenues recognized.
