Receivables

Receivables are summarized as follows (in thousands):

	December 31,
	2012			2011
Trade accounts receivables	$	28,414		$	33,171
Other receivables		287			530

Less: allowance for doubtful accounts		(458	)		(1,299	)
Total receivables, net	$	28,243		$	32,402

When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, 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. 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.
