The Company has unrecognized contract revenue of approximately $6.5 million at December 31, 2021, which it expects to recognize as revenue within the next twelve months.

Judgment is required to evaluate assumptions including the amount of net contract revenues and the total estimated costs to determine our progress towards contract completion and to calculate the corresponding amount of revenue to recognize.

Changes in estimates for sales of systems occur for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to (i) build accelerations or delays, (ii) product cost forecast changes, (iii) cost related change orders or add-ons, or (iv) changes in other information used to estimate costs. Changes in estimates may have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets consist of (i) retainage which represent the earned, but unbilled, portion for which payment is deferred by the customer until certain contractual milestones are met; and (ii) unbilled receivables which represent revenue that has been recognized in advance of billing the customer, which is common for long-term contracts. Contract liabilities consist of customer advances and billings in excess of revenue recognized.

As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and January 1 2020, contract assets were $2.5 million, $.5 million and $.5 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, 2020 and January 1, 2020, contract liabilities were $1.5 million, $.2 million and $.8 million, respectively, and the ending balance of the contract liabilities are generally recognized as income in the following year.
