Trade receivables are dispersed among a large number of retailers, distributors and industrial accounts in many countries. Adequate reserves have been established to cover anticipated credit losses. Long-term receivables, net, of $177.2 million and $176.9 million at March 31, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, are reported within Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's financing receivables are predominantly related to certain security equipment leases with commercial businesses. Generally, the Company retains legal title to any equipment under lease and bears the right to repossess such equipment in an event of default. All financing receivables are interest bearing and the Company has not classified any financing receivables as held-for-sale. Interest income earned from financing receivables that are not delinquent is recorded on the effective interest method.

The Company considers any financing receivable that has not been collected within 90 days of original billing date as past-due or delinquent. The Company’s payment terms are generally consistent with the industries in which their businesses operate and typically range from 30-90 days globally. Additionally, the Company considers the credit quality of all past-due or delinquent financing receivables as nonperforming. The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between transfer of the product and receipt of payment is less than one year. Any significant financing components for contracts greater than one year are included in revenue over time.

Prior to January 2018, the Company had an accounts receivable sale program. According to the terms of that program, the Company was required to sell certain of its trade accounts receivables at fair value to a wholly-owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary (“BRS”). The BRS, in turn, was required to sell such receivables to a third-party financial institution (“Purchaser”) for cash and a deferred purchase price receivable. The Purchaser’s maximum cash investment in the receivables at any time was $100.0 million. The purpose of the program was to provide liquidity to the Company. The Company accounted for these transfers as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. Receivables were derecognized from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet when the BRS sold those receivables to the Purchaser. The Company had no retained interests in the transferred receivables, other than collection and administrative responsibilities and its right to the deferred purchase price receivable. In January 2018, the Company signed an amendment that changed the structure of this program which eliminated the deferred purchase price receivable from the Purchaser and resulted in the BRS retaining ownership of the trade accounts receivables. This program was then terminated on February 1, 2018.

At December 30, 2017, $100.8 million of net receivables were derecognized. Gross receivables sold amounted to $453.8 million ($388.9 million, net) for the three months ended April 1, 2017. These sales resulted in a pre-tax loss of $1.4 million and included servicing fees of $0.2 million for the three months ended April 1, 2017. Proceeds from transfers of receivables to the Purchaser totaled $337.0 million for the three months ended April 1, 2017. Collections of previously sold receivables, including deferred purchase price receivables, and all fees, which are settled one month in arrears, resulted in payments to the Purchaser of $372.4 million for the three months ended April 1, 2017.

The Company’s risk of loss following the sale of the receivables is limited to the deferred purchase price receivable, which was $106.9 million at December 30, 2017. The deferred purchase price receivable settled in full in January 2018, and historically was repaid in cash as receivables were collected, generally within 30 days. As such the carrying value of the receivable recorded at December 30, 2017 approximated fair value. There were no delinquencies or credit losses for the three months ended April 1, 2017. Cash inflows related to the deferred purchase price receivable totaled $123.1 million for the three months ended April 1, 2017. In accordance with the adoption of the new cash flows standards described in Note B, New Accounting Standards, the proceeds related to the deferred purchase price receivable are classified as investing activities.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 30, 2017, the Company's deferred revenue totaled $121.2 million and $117.0 million, respectively, of which $96.8 million and $95.6 million, respectively, was classified as current. Revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017 that was previously deferred as of December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 totaled $74.6 million and $66.2 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2018, approximately $1.157 billion of revenue from long-term contracts primarily in the Security segment was unearned related to customer contracts which were not completely fulfilled and will be recognized on a decelerated basis over the next 5 years. This amount excludes any of the Company's contracts with an original expected duration of one year or less.
