Accounts Receivable

 

The following provides further details on the balance sheet accounts of accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:

 

   2026   2025   2024 
   Fiscal year ended April 30, 
   2026   2025   2024 
   (in thousands) 
             
Accounts receivable  $587   $1,191   $796 
Contract assets   590    1,088    18 
Contract liabilities   6,029        302 

 

Contract Assets

 

Contract assets include unbilled amounts typically resulting from arrangements whereby the right to payment is conditional on completing additional tasks or services for a performance obligation. The decrease in contract assets from year end is primarily a result of being able to contractually bill on active projects for which revenue was recognized in the prior period but was not yet been billed as of the beginning of the period. No impairments to contract assets were incurred during the year ended April 30, 2026 and 2025.

 

Significant changes in the contract assets balances during the period are as follows:

 

   2026   2025 
   Fiscal year ended April 30, 
   2026   2025 
   (in thousands) 
         
Transferred to receivables from contract assets recognized  $(1,725)  $(768)
Revenue recognized and not billed   1,227    1,838 
Net change in contract assets  $(498)  $1,070 

 

Contract Liabilities

 

Contract liabilities consist of amounts invoiced to customers in excess of revenue recognized. The increase in contract liabilities from year end is primarily due to collecting payments for jobs we cannot contractually recognize revenue on the current year.

 

Significant changes in the contract liabilities balances during the period are as follows:

 

   2026   2025 
   Fiscal year ended April 30, 
   2026   2025 
   (in thousands) 
         
Revenue recognized  $(1,186)  $(2,107)
Payments collected for which revenue has not been recognized   7,215    1,805 
Net change in contract liabilities  $6,029   $(302)
