Assets and liabilities related to contracts with customers

Under most customer contracts, invoicing occurs once the Company’s performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. As of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, receivables from contracts with customers associated with revenue from services was $102.3 million and $232.5 million, respectively. These amounts are presented within accounts receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition, revenue for services recognized in excess of the invoiced amounts, or accrued revenue, outstanding at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, was $7.6 million and $12.8 million, respectively. Accrued revenue represents current contract asset that will turn into accounts receivable within the next 12 months and be collected during the Company’s normal business operating cycle. Accrued revenue is presented in accounts receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Other items included in accounts receivable, net represent receivables associated with leases which are accounted for in accordance with the leasing standard. There were no impairment losses for trade receivables for lease or time charter services or contract assets for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021.

Contract liabilities from advance payments in excess of revenue recognized from services as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The performance obligations are expected to be satisfied during the next 12 months, and the contract liabilities are classified within current portion of deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets. The remaining portion of current deferred revenue relates to the lease component of the Company’s time charter contracts which are accounted for in accordance with the leasing standard. Noncurrent deferred revenue presented in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets represents payments allocated to the Company’s performance obligation for drydocking services within time charter contracts in which the lease component is accounted for as a sales-type lease. Revenue will be recognized once the performance obligation is complete and occurs every five years.

The following table reflects the changes in our long-term contract liabilities to customers, as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Deferred revenues, beginning of period	$	14,451	$	9,569
Cash received but not yet recognized		1,212		4,882
Deferred revenues, end of period	$	15,663	$	14,451

Some of the Company’s contracts are short-term in nature with a contract term of less than a year. The Company applied the optional exemption not to report any unfulfilled performance obligations related to these contracts.

The Company has long-term arrangements with customers in which the Company provides regasification and other services as part of time charter party contracts. The price under these agreements is typically stated in contracts. The fixed transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations under these arrangements is $424.8 million as of March 31, 2022. The Company expects to recognize revenue from contracts exceeding one year over the following time periods (in thousands):
