NOTE 4 – ACCOUNTS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

The Company generally extends credit to a customer based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition without requiring tangible collateral. Exposure to losses on accounts and notes receivable is expected to differ due to the varying financial condition of each customer. The Company monitors its exposure to credit losses and may establish an allowance for a credit loss based on management’s estimate of the loss that is expected to occur over the remaining life of the particular financial asset. At October 31 and January 31, 2020, the amounts of credit losses expected by management were insignificant. The amounts of the provision for credit losses for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020 and the provision for uncollectible accounts for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2019 were also insignificant.

As of October 31, 2020, there were outstanding invoices billed to one former customer and unbilled costs incurred on the related project, with balances included in accounts receivable and contract assets, in the aggregate amount of $24.5 million, for which the recovery time will most likely depend on the resolution of the outstanding legal dispute between the parties (see Note 8).

As of October 31, 2020, there were past due notes receivable from project developers in the aggregate amount of $1.7 million, for which full receipt will most likely depend on the successful financing of the related projects.
