Ref (a): Includes $9.3 million related to retroactive billings submitted to incorporate the impact of relevant wage determinations on certain contracts. Revenues related to these retroactive billings were recognized in fiscal 2008 in accordance with GAAP, as follows: (1) the Company developed and calculated an amount for such prior period services and had a contractual right to bill for such amounts under its arrangements, which was formalized in a contract modification (2) there were no remaining unfulfilled conditions for approval of such billings and (3) collectibility was reasonably assured based on historical practices with, and contractual requirements of, the DVA. The related direct costs, principally comprised of salaries and benefits, were accrued to match the recognized reimbursements from the Federal agency; upon approval, wages will be processed for payment to the employees. During the year ended September 30, 2008, DLH recognized revenues of $10.8 million revenue related to these non-recurring adjustments, of which $1.5 million was subsequently billed and collected. DLH had ongoing interactions with the customer during fiscal 2014, and we submitted a claim to the DVA in September 2014 seeking a final determination by the DVA’s contracting officer of the amount due to DLH and immediate payment of such amount. Although the timing cannot be guaranteed, at present, the Company expects to bill and collect such amounts within the next twelve months. The remaining $0.8 million and $0.5 million of unbilled accounts receivable at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively, relates to current operations.

Ref (b): Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing, unsecured and carried at fair value, which is net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. We evaluate our receivables on a quarterly basis and determine whether an allowance is appropriate based on specific collection issues. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was zero at both December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014.
