Note 5. Significant Risks and Uncertainties

 

(a) Major Customers. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, approximately 91% and 92% of consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from two customers. These two customers are in the Company’s Contract Manufacturing Segment and represented approximately 65% and 29% and 69% and 25% in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Accounts receivable from these two major customers represented approximately 85% and 93% of total net accounts receivable as of September 30 and June 30, 2021, respectively. The loss of any of these customers could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations. Major customers are those customers who account for more than 10% of net sales.

 

(b) Other Business Risks. Approximately 70% of the Company’s employees are covered by a union contract and are employed in its New Jersey facilities. The contract was renewed on September 1, 2018 and will expire on August 31, 2022.

 

The continued global outbreak of COVID-19, or coronavirus, has the potential to cause a disruption in the Company’s supply chain. Most of these materials may be obtained from more than one supplier. However, due to port closures and other restrictions resulting from the coronavirus outbreak throughout the world, these suppliers, located both inside and outside of the United States, may have limited supply of the materials, which will cause the price of the materials to increase. These and other disruptions would likely impact the Company’s sales and operating results. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary materials to produce a supplement within the Company’s standard lead times, it may delay the production and shipment of those supplements, thereby shifting the timing of recognizing the resulting sale to the Company’s customers. Transportation continues to be a factor in obtaining materials in a timely manner. A shortage of containers is making it difficult for suppliers abroad to get materials to the United States.

 

Additionally, a disruption in the supply chain for personal protection equipment (“PPE”) and cleaning supplies used in our manufacturing facilities could have an adverse effect on our operations. In accordance with our standard operating procedures and the updated guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the “CDC”) for personal safety, adopted by The U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration, we are required to provide the PPE for our employees to wear while working. The inability to obtain timely PPE and cleaning supplies may result in temporary closures of impacted production areas until the needed supplies are obtained.

 

In addition to supply chain issues resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are experiencing supply chain disruptions relating to fuel refinery and transportation issues as it pertains to the production of plastics. This is impacting the supply and demand of bottles and caps, key components in our Contract Manufacturing Segment. Transportation, in general, continues to be an issue in the delay of receiving materials and our ability to meet promised delivery dates to our customers in the Contract Manufacturing Segment.

 

Furthermore, the significant outbreak of this contagious disease in the human population has resulted in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect demand for the Company’s products and impact the Company’s operating results.

 

The Company does not currently anticipate any negative impact to its margins resulting from the coronavirus outbreak, however; if the Company is unable to obtain the necessary materials to produce a supplement within its standard lead times or the necessary safety and cleaning supplies it may delay the production and shipment of those supplements to its customers, thereby shifting the timing of recognizing the resulting sale to its customers.
