Revenue Recognition

Astrotech recognizes revenue employing several generally accepted revenue recognition methodologies. The methodology used is based on contract type and the manner in which products and services are provided.

Revenue for sale of manufactured product is recognized when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when a firm sales contract or invoice is in place, delivery has occurred or services have been provided, and collectability is reasonably assured.  

Multiple-Deliverable Arrangements

The Company enters into fixed-priced subcontracts on government projects that are one to two years long and contain multiple deliverables.

The Company analyzes the multiple element arrangements based on the guidance in ASC Topic 605-25, Revenue Recognition- Multiple Element Arrangements (“ASC 605-25”). Pursuant to the guidance in ASC 605-25, the Company evaluates multiple element arrangements to determine (i) the deliverables included in the arrangement and (ii) whether the individual deliverables represent separate units of accounting or whether they must be accounted for as a combined unit of accounting. This evaluation involves subjective determinations and requires management to make judgments about the individual deliverables and whether such deliverables are separate from other aspects of the contractual relationship. Deliverables are considered separate units of accounting provided that: (i) the delivered item(s) has value to the customer on a standalone basis and (ii) if the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially within control of the Company.

For subcontracts the Company enters into which contain multiple deliverables, we allocate revenue to each unit of accounting based on their relative selling prices. In such circumstances, we use a hierarchy to determine the selling prices to be used for allocating revenue: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”), (ii) third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”), and (iii) best estimate of the selling price (“BESP”). VSOE generally exists only when we sell the deliverable separately and is the price actually charged by us for that deliverable. Due to our recent entrance into the market and lack of any TPE, the Company has only used BESP to date. BESP on a deliverable is determined by using estimated labor hours and materials plus a nominal profit margin consistent with expected margins for these arrangements. The Company’s subcontract agreements do not contain a general right of return relative to any delivered items. We recognize revenue only if collectability is reasonably assured. We record deferred revenues upon invoicing or when cash payments are received in advance of our performance of the underlying agreement on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
