Allowance for bad debt policy

Our bad debt policy is determined by the Company's periodic review of each account receivable for reasonable assurance of collection. Factors considered are the exporter's financial condition, past payment history if any, any conversations with the exporter about the exporter's financial conditions and any other extenuating circumstances. Based upon the above factors the Company makes a determination whether the receivable are reasonable assured of collection. Based upon our review if required we adjust the allowance for bad debt.
