Our contract liabilities, which represent billings in excess of revenue recognized, are related to advanced billings for purchased service agreements and extended warranties. Contract liabilities were $281,000 and $262,000 at July 30, 2022, and January 31, 2022, respectively, and are recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The increase Contract Costs We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. We have determined that certain costs related to obtaining sales contracts for our aerospace printer products meet the requirement to be capitalized. These costs are deferred and amortized over the remaining useful life of these contracts, which we currently estimate to be approximately 19 years as of July 30, 2022. The balance of these contract assets at January 31, 2022, was $1.3 million, and in the first quarter of the current year, we incurred an additional $0.1 million in contract costs that will be amortized over 19 years. During the three and six months ended July 30, 2022, we amortized contract costs of respectively.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management	Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management In 2017, we entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap to manage the interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk associated with the floating-rate foreign currency-denominated term loan borrowing by our Danish Subsidiary and an interest rate swap to manage the interest rate risk associated with our variable rate term loan borrowing. Both swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of floating-rate borrowings. Our cross-currency interest rate swap agreement effectively modified our exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk by converting our floating-rate debt denominated in U.S. Dollars on our Danish subsidiary’s books to a fixed-rate debt denominated in Danish Kroner for the term of the loan, thus reducing the impact of interest-rate and foreign currency exchange rate changes on future interest expense and principal repayments. This swap involved the receipt of floating rate amounts in U.S. Dollars in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments in Danish Kroner, as well as exchanges of principal at the inception spot rate, over the life of the term loan. The interest rate swap agreement effectively modified our exposure to interest rate risk by effectively converting our floating-rate term-loan debt to fixed-rate debt, thus reducing the impact of interest-rate changes on future interest expense.

Employee Retention Credit

Employee Retention Credit Disclosure [Abstract]
Employee Retention Credit	Note 10 – Employee Retention Credit The CARES Act provides an employee retention credit (“ERC”) that was a refundable tax credit against certain employer taxes. On December 27, 2020, Congress enacted the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, which amended and extended ERC availability under Section 2301 of the CARES Act. Before the enactment of the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, we were ineligible for the ERC because we received the PPP Loan. Following the enactment of the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, we and other businesses that received loans under that program became retroactively eligible for the ERC. As a result of the foregoing legislation, we became eligible to claim a refundable tax credit against the employer’s share wages were limited We evaluated our eligibility for the ERC in the second quarter of calendar year 2021. In order to qualify for the ERC, we needed to experience a 20% reduction in gross receipts from either (1) the same quarter in calendar year 2019 or (2) the immediately preceding quarter to the corresponding calendar quarter in 2019. We determined that we qualified for the employee retention credit under the first scenario for wages paid in calendar year 2020 and the first calendar quarter of 2021. In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we amended certain payroll tax filings and applied for a refund of $3.1 million. Since there is no US GAAP guidance for for-profit We recorded a $3.1 million receivable in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 for the ERC receivable and recognized a reduction in employer payroll taxes which was allocated to the financial statement captions from which the employee’s taxes were originally incurred. As a result, we recorded a reduction in expenses of $1.7 million in cost of revenue, $0.8 million in selling and marketing, $0.3 million in research and development and $0.3 million in general and administrative in the accompanying condensed consolidated income statement for the three and six month periods ended July 31, 2021. On March 22, 2022, we received payment of the $3.1 million ERC.
