3. Accounts Receivable


Accounts receivable consists of the following:


   

August 30,

2014

   

November 30,

2013

 

Gross accounts receivable

  $ 17,440     $ 17,687  

Allowance for doubtful accounts

    (1,543 )     (1,607 )

Accounts receivable, net

  $ 15,897     $ 16,080  

At August 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013 approximately 49% and 50%, respectively, of gross accounts receivable, and approximately 68% 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 and traditional distribution channel customers.


Activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows:


   

2014

   

2013

 
                 

Balance at November 30, 2013

  $ 1,607     $ 1,789  

Additions charged to expense

    164       361  

Write-offs and other deductions

    (228 )     (543 )

Balance at August 30, 2014

  $ 1,543     $ 1,607  

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.
