[1] Allowance for Sales Returns represents anticipated returns net of a recovery of inventory and royalty costs. The provision is reported as a reduction of gross sales to arrive at revenue and the reserve balance is reported as a reduction of Accounts Receivable, net (in the years ended April 30, 2018 and 2017) with a corresponding increase in Inventories, net and a reduction in Accrued Royalties for the years ended April 30, 2019, 2018 and 2017. Due to the adoption of the new revenue standard, the sales return reserve as of April 30, 2019 is recorded in Contract Liability (Deferred Revenue). In prior periods, it was recorded as a reduction to Accounts Receivable, net. See Note 3, "Revenue Recognition, Contracts with Customers," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Included in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts are accounts written off, less recoveries. Included in Allowance for Inventory Obsolescence are items removed from inventory.
