The amount of revenue recognized in the
first
nine
months of fiscal
2020
that was included in a contract liability at
November 30, 2019
was approximately
$89,000
compared to
$185,000
in the same period of fiscal
2019.
The significant change in contract receivables reflected above is due to progress billings from open contracts in the Modular Buildings segment. Contract assets are down significantly from
November 30, 2019
as billings caught up to costs in the Modular Buildings segment over the course of the
nine
months. There are also a few contracts in the Modular Buildings segment that are currently overbilled, creating an increase in contract liabilities at
August 31, 2020
compared to
November 30, 2019.
