There were no material accounts receivable amounts representing claims or others similar items subject to uncertainty as of January 25, 2014 or July 27, 2013. The Company expects to collect the outstanding balance of accounts receivable, net, including retainage amounts, within the next twelve months.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of its customers to make required payments. During the three and six months ended January 25, 2014 and January 26, 2013, write-offs to the allowance for doubtful accounts, net of recoveries, were not material.
