Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation(s) under the contract (either implicit or explicit) by transferring the promised product or service to its customer either when (or as) its customer obtains control of the product or service. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer products or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct.

 

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services. As such, revenue is recorded net of returns, allowances, customer discounts, and incentives. Sales and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net (excluded from revenues) basis.

 

The Company’s performance obligations under its engine business are generally satisfied as over time. Revenue from products or services transferred to its customer over time accounted for approximately 4.5% and 9.6% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Revenue under this contract is generally recognized over time using an input measure based upon the proportion of actual costs incurred to estimated total project costs, which is a method used to best depict the Company’s performance to date under the terms of the contract.

 

Accounting for over time contracts involves the use of various techniques to estimate total revenue and costs. The Company estimates profit on such contracts as the difference between total estimated revenue and expected costs to complete a contract and recognizes that profit over the life of the contract. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that may span several years. These assumptions include, among other things, labor productivity, costs and availability of materials. The nature of these long-term agreements may give rise to several types of variable consideration, such as claims, awards and incentive fees. These amounts of variable consideration are not expected to be significant. Additionally, contract estimates may include additional revenue for submitted contract modifications if there exists and enforceable right to the modification, the amount can be reasonably estimated and its realization is probable. These estimates are based on historical collection experience, anticipated performance, and the Company’s best judgment at the time. These amounts are generally included in the contract’s transaction price and are allocated over the remaining performance obligations. Changes in judgments on these above estimates could impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized with a resulting impact on the timing and amount of associated income.

 

The Company may receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. In the event a contract loss becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is recognized in the Statement of Operations.

 

The majority of the Company’s revenue is from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time. It was approximately 95.5% and 90.1% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time in which the customer obtains control of the product or service, which is generally when product title passes to the customer upon shipment.

 

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in contract assets or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company records a contract asset when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing, or contract liabilities when revenue is recognized subsequent to invoicing. Contract liabilities additionally include customer advances or prepayments.  The Company had unbilled receivables (contract assets) of $146,000 and $62,212 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Costs in excess of billings and billings in excess of costs associated with over time contracts were not significant at December 31, 2018 or 2017. There was no revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 that was included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period.

 

On December 31, 2018, the Company had no remaining performance obligations.
