The Company estimates the collectability of accounts receivable, by specifically analyzing accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms, when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition to the identification of specific doubtful accounts receivable, the Company provides allowances calculated as a percentage of past due balances based on historical collection experience.
