The Company maintains allowances for estimated losses over the remaining contractual life of its receivables resulting from the inability of customers to meet their financial obligations or for disputes that affect the Company's ability to fully collect amounts due. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations or aware of a dispute with a specific customer, a specific allowance is recorded to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based upon historical write-offs, customer concentration, customer creditworthiness, current economic conditions, aging of amounts due and future expectations.

 

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the contract losses and doubtful accounts is as follows (in thousands):

The provision for contract losses as of July 3, 2020 includes approximately $1,450,000 as a result of the economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written-off were not material during the six months ended July 3, 2020.

 

On January 29, 2019, PG&E Corp. (“PG&E”) filed for bankruptcy under chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code. As of July 3, 2020, the Company’s total pre-bankruptcy outstanding accounts receivable from PG&E was $3.0 million. The Company currently expects to collect substantially all of the pre-bankruptcy accounts receivable from PG&E. However, due to the risks and uncertainties inherent in the bankruptcy process, the amount ultimately collected could differ from the Company’s current expectation. The Company continues to do work for PG&E post-bankruptcy filing and expects to be paid for this work in the ordinary course of business. Under the United States Bankruptcy code, PG&E is required to pay all post-bankruptcy expenses in the normal course of business. If they do not do so, the Company is eligible to have the post-bankruptcy obligation categorized as an administrative expense entitled to priority over most pre-bankruptcy creditors.
