Revenue Recognition, Percentage-of-Completion Method [Policy Text Block]

Revenue and Income Recognition


The Company recognizes revenues using the percentage-of-completion method for custom production-type contracts while revenues from other products are recorded when such products are accepted and shipped. Profits on custom production-type contracts are recorded on the basis of the Company’s estimates of the percentage-of-completion of individual contracts, commencing when progress reaches a point where experience is sufficient to estimate final results with reasonable accuracy. Under this method, revenues are recognized based on costs incurred to date compared with total estimated costs.


The asset, “Costs 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.
