The unbilled receivables are transferred to trade receivables when billed to customers. Contract assets are generally classified as current assets and are included in "Accounts receivable, net" in the consolidated balance sheets. The balance of contract assets as of September 29, 2019 and December 30, 2018 were $42.1 million and $31.9 million , respectively. The amount of unbilled receivables recognized at the beginning of the period that were transferred to trade receivables during the nine months ended September 29, 2019 was $16.3 million . The increase in unbilled receivables during the nine months ended September 29, 2019 as a result of recognition of revenue before billing to customers, excluding amounts transferred to trade receivables during the period, amounted to $26.5 million . Contract liabilities: The contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers for products and related installation for which transfer of control has not occurred at the balance sheet date. Contract liabilities are classified as either current in "Accounts payable" or long-term in "Long-term liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. The balance of contract liabilities as of September 29, 2019 and December 30, 2018 were $26.2 million and $30.8 million , respectively. The increase in contract liabilities during the nine months ended September 29, 2019 due to cash received, excluding amounts recognized as revenue during the period, was $15.6 million . The amount of revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 29, 2019 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period was $20.2 million . Contract costs: The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer as an asset if it expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The Company determined that certain sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. Total capitalized costs to obtain a contract were immaterial during the period and are included in other current and long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs include the Company's internal sales force compensation program, as the Company determined that annual compensation is commensurate with annual sales activities.
