Accounts Receivable

 

The Company has a history of successfully collecting all amounts due from its customers under the original terms of its subscription agreements without making concessions. The Company records accounts receivables for agreements where amounts due from customers are contractually required and are non-refundable. The carrying amount of accounts receivables is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects the Company’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Net accounts receivable is comprised of the monthly, quarterly, or annual committed amounts due from customers pursuant to the terms of each respective customer’s agreement. Account receivable balances include amounts attributable to deferred revenues. The Company’s accounts receivable balances included $47,000 of unbilled receivables associated with contractually committed services provided to existing customers during the three months ended January 31, 2019, which will be invoiced subsequent to January 31, 2019. As of October 31, 2018, the Company’s accounts receivable balance included $12,000 of unbilled receivables associated with contractually committed services provided to existing customers.

 

The provision for doubtful accounts was $159,000 as of January 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018, respectively. In addition to reviewing delinquent accounts receivable, the Company considers many factors in estimating its reserve, including historical data, experience, customer types, credit worthiness, and economic trends. The Company monitors its outstanding accounts receivable balances and believes the provision is adequate.
