4. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of the following:

	May 26, 2012			November 26, 2011
Gross accounts receivable	$	16,372		$	16,848
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(2,207	)		(2,092	)
Net accounts receivable	$	14,165		$	14,756

At May 26, 2012 and November 26, 2011, approximately 69% and 67%, respectively, of gross accounts receivable, and approximately 83% and 79%, respectively, of the allowance for doubtful accounts were attributable to amounts owed to us by our licensees. Our remaining receivables are due from national account customers and traditional distribution channel customers.

Activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows:

Balance at November 26, 2011	$	2,092
Additions charged to expense		255
Write-offs and other deductions		(140	)
Balance at May 26, 2012	$	2,207

We believe that the carrying value of our net accounts receivable approximates fair value. The inputs into these fair value estimates reflect our market assumptions and are not observable.  Consequently, the inputs are considered to be Level 3 as specified in the fair value hierarchy in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  See Note 14.
