Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In making the determination of the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider specific accounts, historical write-offs, changes in customer relationships and credit worthiness and concentrations of credit risk. Specific accounts receivable are written off once a determination is made that the account is uncollectible. Additional allowances may be required if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $905,000 and $1,184,000 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – HickoryTech maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In making the determination of the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider specific accounts, historical write-offs, changes in customer relationships and credit worthiness and concentrations of credit risk.  Specific accounts receivable are written-off once a determination is made that the account is uncollectible. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $851,000 and $334,000 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

This excerpt taken from the HTCO 10-K filed Mar 7, 2006.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts – HickoryTech’s allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate based on specifically identified accounts as well as less specific reserves established based upon historical collection experience. HickoryTech evaluates specific accounts where it has information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations, the customer is delinquent or the customer may dispute the charges. In these cases, management uses its judgment, based on the best available facts and circumstances, and records a specific reserve for that customer against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the amount that is expected to be collected. These specific reserves are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information is received that impacts the amount reserved. HickoryTech also establishes a less specific reserve for all customers based on a range of percentages applied to aging categories. These percentages are based on historical collection and write-off experience. If circumstances change, HickoryTech’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be reduced or increased by a material amount. Such a change in estimated recoverability would be accounted for in the period in which the facts that give rise to the change become known. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $334,000 and $1,256,000 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
