Accounts Receivable | NOTE D – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Our accounts receivable consisted of the following:

Accounts receivable, net |  | $ | 6,476,049 |  |  | $ | 207,005 |
The trade receivable balance at December 31, 2013 consists primarily of a trade receivable from Neptune Minerals, Inc. for which a reserve allowance for the full amount has been made. The trade receivable balance at December 31, 2014 consists primarily of (i) a trade receivable from Neptune Minerals, Inc. for which a reserve allowance for the full amount has been made, and (ii) a trade receivable on our right to a priority cost recoupment on the SS Central America shipwreck project. We recorded a priority recoupment of costs in the amount $6,290,465 as a reduction to our Operations and research costs for the year ended December 31, 2014. These amounts are based on set and determinable contractual amounts for the recovery of the SS Central America shipwreck. These determinable amounts define the day rate and fixed obligation due to us for our services rendered as it relates to Priority Recoupment. We are awaiting court approval in 2015 so we may assist in monetizing these assets permitting us to collect this receivable. See revenue recognition and accounts receivable in NOTE A. The December 31, 2013 reserve amount of $5,131,593 and the December 31, 2014 reserve amount of $4,631,593 relates to Neptune Minerals, Inc. (Dorado Ocean Resources, Ltd.), discussed further in NOTE I.
