NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND DUE TO FACTOR

Accounts receivable are receivables generated from sales to customers and progress billings on performance type contracts. Amounts included in accounts receivable are deemed to be collectible within the Company's operating cycle. Management provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the Company's historical losses, specific customer circumstances, and general economic conditions. Periodically, management reviews accounts receivable and adjusts the allowance based on current circumstances and charges off uncollectible receivables when all attempts to collect have been exhausted and the prospects for recovery are remote. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company's accounts receivable was $3,463,161 and $28,732, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $600,000 and $-0-, respectively.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company's outstanding obligation under the factoring agreement was $2,442,935 and $-0-, respectively.
