Accounts Receivable, Short-Term and Long-Term Notes Receivable

Management reviews accounts receivable, short-term and long-term notes receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables are potentially uncollectible. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on a combination of historical experience, length of time outstanding, customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends.  We recorded a bad debt expense of $62,792 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and wrote off uncollectable accounts during the six months ended June 30, 2016 in the amount of $39,364.  As of June 30, 2016, the Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,414,111.

 

Notes receivable aged over 30 days past due are considered delinquent and notes receivable aged over 60 days past due with known collection issues are placed on non-accrual status. Interest revenue is not recognized on notes receivable while on non-accrual status. Cash payments received on non-accrual receivables are applied towards the principal. When notes receivable on non-accrual status are again less than 60 days past due, recognition of interest revenue for notes receivable is resumed.  The Company charges interest rates on notes receivable averaging 14%.  The Company recorded $25,206 in interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts on long-term receivables is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses related to the Company's existing note receivables.  The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of probable credit losses related to trade receivables and notes receivable based upon the aging of the receivables, historical collection data, internal assessments of credit quality and the economic conditions in the business subprime industry, as well as in the economy as a whole. The Company charges off uncollectable amounts against the reserve in the period in which it determines they are uncollectable. Unearned income on notes receivable is amortized using the effective interest method.  The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts related to notes receivable based upon a reserve for known collection issues, as well as a reserve based upon aging, both of which are based upon history of such losses and current economic conditions. Based upon the Company's methodology, the notes receivable balances with reserves and the reserves associated with those balances are as follows:

 

    June 30, 2016  
    Gross     Reserve     Net  
    Current     Long-Term     Current     Long-Term     Current     Long-Term  
 Customer Notes Receivable     893,214       467,696       752,695       340,611       140,519       127,085

 Accounts Receivable     437,589       -       295,759       -       141,830       -  

 

 

 

 

The roll forward of the allowance for doubtful accounts related to notes receivable and accounts receivable is as follows:

 

    Notes Receivable     Accounts Receivable  
    Current     Long-Term     Current     Long-Term  
 Balance at December 31, 2015   $ 632,422     $ 461,702     $ 295,759       -  
      Incremental Provision     120,273       (121,091 )     63,631       -  
      Recoveries     -       -       800       -  
      Charge offs     -       -       (39,364 )     -  
 Balance at June 30, 2016   $ 752,695     $ 340,611     $ 320,805       -  

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts as a percentage of total receivables was approximately 67% as of June 30, 2016 and approximately 69% as of December 31, 2015.

 

The Company received a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) for a principal amount of $410,000 from a third party in September 2014. The Note bears interest at the rate of 5.25% per annum and matured in four months. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company had recorded $8,919 of interest income from this Note.  $110,000 of the principal amount was paid during six months ended 2015.  The remaining Note balance of $322,513 was written off as of the year ended December 31, 2015.
