Concentrations of credit risk

Our cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans receivable, funds receivable and customer accounts are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. In addition funds receivable are generated with banks or credit card companies that management believes are of high credit quality. Cash and cash equivalents and customer accounts are placed with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Our accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. and internationally. Our loans receivable are derived from consumer financing activities for customers located in the U.S. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, authorized credits and loans receivable based upon our historical experience, the age and delinquency rates of receivables and the credit quality of the relevant loan, as well as economic and regulatory conditions. Determining appropriate allowances for these losses is an inherently uncertain process, and ultimate losses may vary from the current estimates, resulting in a material impact to future statements of income or cash flows. Due to the relatively small dollar amount of individual accounts receivable and loans and interest receivable, we generally do not require collateral on these balances. The

Concentrations of credit risk
 
Our cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and funds receivable are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Our accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. and internationally. Accounts receivable balances are settled through customer credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal accounts, with the majority of accounts receivable collected upon processing of credit card transactions. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and authorized credits based upon our historical experience. Historically, such losses have been within our expectations. However, unexpected or significant future changes in trends could result in a material impact to future statements of income or cash flows. Due to the relatively small dollar amount of individual accounts receivable, we generally do not require collateral on these balances. The provision for doubtful accounts is recorded as a charge to general and administrative expense, while the provision for authorized credits is recognized as a reduction of net revenues.
