During the three-months ended August 2, 2020, we assessed the credit risk of our customers within our accounts receivable. Our risk assessment includes the respective customer’s (i) financial position; (ii) past payment history; (iii) management’s general ability; (iv) historical loss experience; and (v) the ongoing economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic. After our risk assessment was completed, we assigned credit grades to our customers, which in turn, were used to determine our allowance for doubtful accounts totaling $552,000 as of August 2, 2020.
