We recognized bad debt expense of $493 and $210 during fiscal 2017 and 2015, respectively, and recognized a benefit of $10 from recoveries of receivables previously expensed during fiscal 2016, in the consolidated statements of operations. We continually monitor our exposure with our customers and additional consideration is given to individual accounts in light of the market conditions in the automotive, commercial vehicle and industrial markets. As a part of our working capital management, the Company entered into a factoring agreement with a third party financial institution ("institution") for the sale of certain accounts receivables with recourse. The activity under this agreement is accounted for as a sale of accounts receivables under ASC 860 "Transfers and Servicing". This agreement relates exclusively to the accounts receivables of certain Swedish customers. The amount sold varies each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and cash flow requirements of the Company. In addition, the agreement addresses events and conditions which may obligate us to immediately repay the institution the purchase price of the receivables sold. The total amount of accounts receivable factored was $7,567 as of October 31, 2017. As these sales of accounts receivable are with recourse, $8,072 was recorded in accounts payable as of October 31, 2017. The cost incurred on the sale of these receivables was immaterial for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2016. The cost of selling these receivables is dependent upon the number of days between the sale date of the receivables and the date the client’s invoice is due and the interest rate. The expense associated with the sale of these receivables is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
