Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for an estimate of amounts that are uncollectible. Substantially all of the Company’s receivables are due from customers in North America. The Company extends credit to its customers based upon its evaluation of the following factors: (i) the customer’s financial condition, (ii) the amount of credit the customer requests, and (iii) the customer’s actual payment history (which includes disputed invoice resolution). The Company does not typically require its customers to post a deposit or supply collateral. The Company’s allowance for credit losses is based on an analysis that estimates the amount of its total customer receivable balance that is not collectible. This analysis includes assessing a default probability to customers’ receivable balances, which is influenced by several factors including (i) current market conditions, (ii) periodic review of customer credit worthiness, and (iii) review of customer receivable aging and payment trends. Accounts receivable relate to credit extended directly to customers in the ordinary course of business.

The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance in the period the payment is received. Recoveries for the years presented were not significant to the financial statements. Credit losses from continuing operations have consistently been within management’s expectations.

The following table presents the activity in the Company’s allowance for credit losses (in thousands):

Other Receivables

Other receivables primarily consist of vendor rebate receivables which represent amounts due from vendors for volume and are generally negotiated at the beginning of the annual period. The Company receives volume-based rebates from certain suppliers. These rebates are recognized as a reduction in the cost of inventory and are recognized in cost of goods sold when the related inventory is sold. Rebates are accrued based on purchases and in accordance with the contractual terms.
