(2) Revenue Recognition

In addition to the required disclosures below, please see further discussion of the Company revenue recognition policy in note 1.

As of December 30, 2018, the Company did not have any material future performance commitments for film streaming or television orders that have not yet been delivered.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

A contract asset is defined as an entity's right to consideration for goods or services that the entity has transferred to a customer. A contract liability is defined to occur if the customer's payment of consideration precedes the entity's performance and represents the entity's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration. The Company occasionally will require payment from customers for finished product in advance of the customer receiving control of the finished product. In these situations, the Company defers revenue on the advanced payment until the customer has control of the finished product, generally within the next month. Within our Entertainment and Licensing segment, the Company may receive royalty payments from licensees in advance of the licensees’ subsequent sales to their customers, or in advance of the Company’s performance obligation being satisfied. The Company defers revenues on these advanced payments until its performance obligation is satisfied. The aggregate deferred revenues are recorded as liabilities and were $50,759, and $7,549 as of December 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and the changes in deferred revenues are not material to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company records contract assets in the case of minimum guarantees that are being recognized ratably over the term of the respective license periods. At December 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, these contract assets were not material to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are primarily from contracts with customers. In the year ended December 30, 2018, the Company recorded a bad debt charge of approximately $49,000 related to Toys“R”Us. In the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a bad debt charge of approximately $18,000 related to Toys“R”Us. The Company had no other material bad debt expense in the years ended December 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 or December 30, 2016.

Disaggregation of revenues

The Company disaggregates its revenues from contracts with customers by segment: US and Canada, International, Entertainment and Licensing, and Global Operations. The Company further disaggregates revenues within its International segment by major geographic region: Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. Finally, the Company disaggregates its revenues by brand portfolio into four brand categories: Franchise brands, Partner brands, Hasbro gaming, and Emerging brands. We believe these collectively depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. See note 21 for further information.
