ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
 
Accounts receivable are carried at original amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful receivables by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer
’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. During the year ended

may
not
occur in the near term. As a result of the payment delays, the Company had reserved

at

and in the
nine
