Uncollectable accounts charged to the allowance. For the years ended August 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, $166, $(1,841) and $(1,401) were reclassified to the fair value of the deferred purchase price under our sale of accounts receivables program, respectively.
(3)
The balance at end of the period for the year ended August 31, 2017 differs from the balance at the beginning of the period for the year ended August 31, 2018 due to the reclassification of certain trade receivables, including any related allowance for doubtful accounts, related to discontinued operations, which have been reclassified as assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets.
