And Just When You Thought You Got It Down…
More Stuff to Remember
![Page 27: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Introducing the
State Construction Notices Directory
42 Pa. C.S. §501.1
![Page 28: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Why did the Pennsylvania legislature add the Directory to the Mechanic’s lien Law?
Is this change unique to Pennsylvania?
![Page 29: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What does the Directory do?
Owner Requirements- File Notice of Commencement
Subcontractor Requirements- File Notice of Furnishing
Contractor Requirements- No Directory Requirements… but…- Place Notice of Project on Directory for owner
- Place/Post Notice “conspicuously” on Project site - Include Notice in Contractor’s Subcontracts
![Page 30: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Optional Filings in Directory
• Owner = Notice of Completion
• Subcontractor = Notice of Nonpayment
![Page 31: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Important
Timing for Filing on the Directory
Owner – Notice of Commencement• Prior to commencement of labor, work, or furnishing of materials
for a Searchable Project.
Subcontractor – Notice of Furnishing• Within 45 days after first performing work on jobsite, or providing
materials to the job site.
![Page 32: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Filing Requirements Apply to“Searchable Projects”
New Construction or Alteration Projects costing more than
$1,500,000
So do I need to enter information on the Directory for All of my projects?
![Page 33: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Consequences of Not Filing Notices
• Owner – No requirement that subcontractors file Notice of Furnishing so Owner will remain in the dark as to subcontractors, sub-subcontractors and suppliers with potential Mechanic’s Lien rights.
• Subcontractors – Forfeiture of right to file a Mechanic’s Lien claim.
* Note: Owner or contractor may not require or request that subcontractor not file Notice. (Or mislead subcontractor that Project is not a searchable Project)
![Page 36: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Additional RequirementOwner Notice Posting Requirement
• Owner must “conspicuously” post a copy of the Notice of Commencement at the project site (until project completed).
• Must be posted before physical construction begins.
![Page 37: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
How do I Find Out if the Project I am/will be Working on is a “Searchable Project?”
1. Ask Owner2. Ask Contractor3. Review the Contract 4. Look for Notice posted on Project site5. Access the Directory and search by:
a) Countyb) Owner namec) Address of Projectd) The unique Directory Project number
![Page 38: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Important Note
The Amendment’s new requirementsDo Not affect or do away with the existing subcontractor
notice requirements for perfecting a mechanic’s lien. Subcontractors must still comply with the Notice of Intent to
File a lien requirement in the law.
![Page 39: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Financial Reporting Considerations
Reflecting Contract Receivables in Financial Statements
![Page 49: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Overview
• Accounting / Reporting for Delinquent Payments• Why Does it Matter?
• Evaluating Contract Receivables• Mechanics Lien / Payment Bond
• Impact on Unbilled Revenues
• Consideration of Impact on Payables
![Page 50: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Why Does it Matter?
• Fiscal Planning• Cash Management Considering At-Risk Customer/Owner Receivables
• Transparency – users of the F/S need to know exposure• Full Financial Statements vs. Internal Reporting
• Bonding / Banking Implications
• Subcontractors
• The Rules• Impairment of Receivables
• Contingent Losses
• Disclosures
![Page 51: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Why Does it Matter?
• The Rules• Requires recognition of a loss when BOTH of the following conditions are met:
• Information available before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued indicates that it is probable that an asset has been impaired at the date of the financial statements
• The amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
• When both conditions are met – a “Loss from Uncollectible Receivables” should be accrued and reported.
• Disclosures: If no accrual is made for a loss contingency because one or both of the conditions above are not met, should disclose:• The nature of the contingency• An estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, or statement that such
an estimate cannot be made
![Page 52: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Evaluating Contract Receivables
• General Procedures• Evaluation of specific at-risk contract receivables
• Consideration of general risk / reserves
• Considerations for Receivables Subject to Filings• Remember – Probable and Reasonably Estimable
• Were all steps properly followed to secure lien rights? • Remember: “Unforgiving Statute – Strictly Interpreted”
• If YES – likely NOT a probable loss, consider Disclosure
• If NO – determine any other remedies, likely PROBABLE LOSS – record provision
• Earlier identification of exposure = easier conversation with stakeholders
![Page 53: Protecting Your Contract Receivables – PA Mechanics Lien Law and Payment Bond Claims](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062523/5a6489467f8b9a7c568b4a1b/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Evaluating Contract Receivables
• Other Financial Reporting Considerations• Impact on Unbilled Receivables
• Impact on Other Project Billings – Same Owner / Prime
• Adjustments to Subcontract Payables? • Consider Pay When Paid clause w/ your subs when you conclude you might not get paid
• Going-Concern Considerations
