4.         Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s accounts receivable includes amounts owed by customers for consulting related activities under contracts signed with those customers.  Included in the June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 accounts receivable is $100,000 and $54,000, respectively, for services that have been performed but as of those dates had not been billed.

 

Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, in general, collateral is not required.  Management regularly reviews accounts receivable for uncollectible and potentially uncollectible accounts, and when necessary establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts.  Balances that are outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written-off through a charge to the allowance for doubtful accounts and a credit to accounts receivable.  At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $8,000, respectively.
