Contract Balances

 

Under Topic 606, the Company’s rights to consideration are presented separately depending on whether those rights are conditional or unconditional. Unconditional rights to consideration are included within accounts receivable, net of allowances in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Significant changes in the contract assets and the contract liabilities balances during the period are as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

  

   December 31,   December 31,         
   2025   2024   $ Change   % Change 
                 
Contract assets and accounts receivable  $     47   $926   $(879)   (94.9)
Contract liabilities   -    (308)   308    100.0 
Net contract assets (liabilities)  $47   $618   $(571)   (92.4)

 

Contract Acquisition Costs

 

The Company is required to capitalize certain contract acquisition costs consisting primarily of commissions paid when contracts are signed. As the Company currently does not pay any commissions upon the signing of a contract, no commission cost has been incurred as of December 31, 2025.

About Revenue Disclosures

Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.

Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
