3. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of the following:

	March 1, 2014			November 30, 2013
Gross accounts receivable	$	16,149		$	17,687
Allowance for doubtful accounts		(1,551	)		(1,607	)
Accounts receivable, net	$	14,598		$	16,080

At March 1, 2014 and November 30, 2013 approximately 52% and 50%, respectively, of gross accounts receivable, and approximately 66% and 64%, respectively, of the allowance for doubtful accounts were attributable to amounts owed to us by our licensees. Our remaining receivables are primarily due from national account customers and traditional distribution channel customers.

Activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows:

	2014
Balance at November 30, 2013	$	1,607
Additions charged to expense		32
Write-offs and other deductions		(88	)
Balance at March 1, 2014	$	1,551

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 10.
