Contract Assets and Liabilities
A contract asset is a right to consideration in exchange for goods that the Company has transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time. A contract liability exists when the Company receives consideration in advance of performance obligations. The Company has not recorded any contract assets on its condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and no contract liabilities existed as of December 31, 2018. The Company recognized a $9,000 contract liability associated with the sale of a portion of its sulfate salts product line as of June 30, 2019. Refer to Note 6 of these condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to the sale of the product line.
