Information about Contract Balances
Amounts collected in advance of services being provided are accounted for as deferred revenue. Nearly all of the Company's deferred revenue balance is related to services revenue, primarily customer support contracts.
In some arrangements the Company allows customers to pay for term based software licenses and products over the term of the software license. Amounts recognized as revenue in excess of amounts billed are recorded as unbilled receivables. Unbilled receivables which are anticipated to be invoiced in the next twelve months are included in Accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. Long term unbilled receivables are included in Other assets. The opening and closing balances of the Company’s accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenues are as follows:
The increase in accounts receivable is primarily a result of an increase in subscription software transactions that are recognized as revenue at the time of sale but paid for over time. The net increase in deferred revenue is primarily the result of an increase in deferred customer support revenue related to software and products revenue transactions and customer support renewals during fiscal 2019.
The amount of revenue recognized in the period that was included in the opening deferred revenue balance was $238,603 for the year ended March 31, 2019. The vast majority of this revenue consists of customer support arrangements. The amount of revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was not material.

goodwill is allocated to each identified reporting unit , which is defined as an operating segment or one level below the operating segment .
goodwill is not amortized , but is evaluated for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable .
the company completes its impairment evaluation by performing valuation analyses and considering other publicly available market information , as appropriate .
the test used to identify the potential for goodwill impairment compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value .
an impairment charge would be recorded to the company 2019s operations for the amount , if any , in which the carrying value exceeds the fair value .
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 , the company completed its annual impairment testing of goodwill and no impairment was identified .
the company determined that the fair value of each reporting unit ( including goodwill ) was in excess of the carrying value of the respective reporting unit .
in reaching this conclusion , the fair value of each reporting unit was determined based on either a market or an income approach .
under the market approach , the fair value is based on observed market data .
other intangible assets the company had approximately $ 31.3 million of intangible assets other than goodwill at december 30 , 2017 and december 31 , 2016 .
the intangible asset balance represents the estimated fair value of the petsense tradename , which is not subject to amortization as it has an indefinite useful life on the basis that it is expected to contribute cash flows beyond the foreseeable horizon .
with respect to intangible assets , we evaluate for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable .
we recognize an impairment loss only if the carrying amount is not recoverable through its discounted cash flows and measure the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying value and fair value .
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 , the company completed its annual impairment testing of intangible assets and no impairment was identified. .

provision for income taxes increased $ 1791 million in 2012 from 2011 primarily due to the increase in pretax income from continuing operations , including the impact of the resumption of sales in libya in the first quarter of 2012 .

the effective income tax rate is influenced by a variety of factors including the geographic sources of income and the relative magnitude of these sources of income .
the provision for income taxes is allocated on a discrete , stand-alone basis to pretax segment income and to individual items not allocated to segments .
the difference between the total provision and the sum of the amounts allocated to segments appears in the "corporate and other unallocated items" shown in the reconciliation of segment income to net income below .
effects of foreign operations 2013 the effects of foreign operations on our effective tax rate increased in 2012 as compared to 2011 , primarily due to the resumption of sales in libya in the first quarter of 2012 , where the statutory rate is in excess of 90 percent .
change in permanent reinvestment assertion 2013 in the second quarter of 2011 , we recorded $ 716 million of deferred u.s .
tax on undistributed earnings of $ 2046 million that we previously intended to permanently reinvest in foreign operations .
offsetting this tax expense were associated foreign tax credits of $ 488 million .
in addition , we reduced our valuation allowance related to foreign tax credits by $ 228 million due to recognizing deferred u.s .
tax on previously undistributed earnings .
adjustments to valuation allowances 2013 in 2012 and 2011 , we increased the valuation allowance against foreign tax credits because it is more likely than not that we will be unable to realize all u.s .

Consumer Cyber Safety segment
Revenue increased $616 million due to a $639 million increase in revenue from sales of our identity and information protection products acquired at the end of fiscal 2017, offset by a $23 million decrease in revenue related to our consumer security products. Our revenue growth reflects the benefit of the shift to subscription-based contracts and bundling of our consumer products, which is helping to mitigate the trend of declining revenues from sales of stand-alone security products. Operating income increased $272 million primarily due to sales of our identity and information protection products, partially offset by higher related cost of sales and operating expenses.
