Accounts receivable consists principally of trade​ receivables, which are recorded at the invoiced​ amount, net of allowances for doubtful accounts and prompt payment discounts. Trade receivables do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents​ management's estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts​ receivable, as determined from a review of past due balances and other specific account data. Account balances are written off against the allowance when management determines the receivable is uncollectible. For the years ended 2019 and 2018​, the Company did not have​ off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
