Trade Accounts Receivable [Abstract] |
Trade Accounts Receivable | 3. TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical write-off experience and current economic conditions, and we review the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis. Receivable balances past due over 90 days, which exceed a specified dollar amount, are reviewed individually for collectibility. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. We do not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to our customers nor do we generally require collateral or other security agreements from our customers. Activity in our allowance for doubtful accounts was comprised of the following for the periods indicated (in thousands):
YEAR ENDED |  |  |  |  |  |
AUGUST 31, |  | 2013 |  | 2012 |  | 2011
Beginning balance | $ | 851 | $ | 798 | $ | 718
Charged to costs and expenses |  | 190 |  | 224 |  | 188
Deductions |  | (59) |  | (171) |  | (108)
Ending balance | $ | 982 | $ | 851 | $ | 798
Deductions on the foregoing table represent the write-off of amounts deemed uncollectible during the fiscal year. During fiscal 2012, our recoveries of previously written off accounts totaled approximately $72,000 and was included in amounts charged to costs and expenses in the above table. Recoveries of amounts previously written off were insignificant in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2011.
