Contract Receivables [Abstract]

Contract Receivables

The components of contract receivables are as follows:

(in thousands)	June 30,		December 31,
	2018		2017
Billed receivables	$	9,544	$	8,154
Unbilled receivables		9,928		5,980
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(251)		(137)
Total contract receivables, net	$	19,221	$	13,997

Management reviews collectability of receivables periodically and records an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce our receivables to their net realizable value when it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on historical trends of past due accounts, write-offs, and specific identification and review of customer accounts. During three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded allowances for doubtful accounts of $117,000 and $118,000, respectively.
