It also includes insurance claims and deposits, that are from unrelated parties, interest free, unsecured, and with no fixed repayment date, and advances to employees for business purposes.

 

The allowances on the other accounts receivable are recorded when circumstances indicate collection is doubtful for particular accounts receivable.  The Company provides for allowances on a specific account basis. Even though there is a default on payment, the Company expects payment in the next quarter; therefore, there is no provision for bad debt allowance made for the other receivables at November 30, 2011 and May 31, 2011.
