We continually monitor our allowance for doubtful accounts for all receivables. We apply judgment in assessing the ultimate realization of our receivables and we estimate an allowance for doubtful accounts based on various factors, such as, the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical experience, and the financial condition of our customers. Based on our analysis of our receivables as of January 31, 2015 and April 30, 2014, we determined an allowance for doubtful accounts of $6,000 and $13,000, respectively, was necessary with respect to our other receivables, and no allowance was necessary with respect to our trade receivables.
