Note 9. Significant Risks and Uncertainties

 

(a) Concentrations of Credit Risk-Cash. The Company maintains balances at several financial institutions. Deposits at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $1,949 in uninsured deposits at these financial institutions.

 

(b) Concentrations of Credit Risk-Receivables. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited. The Company does not require collateral in relation to its trade accounts receivable credit risk.

 

(c) Major Customers.  In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately 89% and 90% of consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from two customers. These two customers are in the Company’s Contract Manufacturing Segment and represent approximately 70% and 24% and 67% and 26%, respectively, of this segment’s net sales in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  Accounts receivable from these two major customers represented approximately 84% and 70% of total net accounts receivable as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.  Three other customers in the Other Nutraceutical Segment, while not significant customers of the Company’s consolidated net sales, represented approximately 56%, 16% and 9% and 40%, 1% and 19%, respectively, of net sales of the Other Nutraceutical Segment in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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.

 

(d) Business Risks. The Company insures its business and assets against insurable risks, to the extent that it deems appropriate, based upon an analysis of the relative risks and costs. The Company believes that the risk of loss from non-insurable events would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations as a whole.

 

The raw materials used by the Company are primarily commodities and agricultural-based products. Raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its nutraceutical products are purchased from independent suppliers. Raw materials are available from numerous sources and the Company believes that it will continue to obtain adequate supplies.

 

As of June 30, 2023, approximately 74% the Company’s employees are covered by a union contract and are employed in its New Jersey facilities. The contract was renewed effective September 1, 2022 and will expire on August 31, 2026.

 

While the Company hasn’t, to date, seen a significant negative impact in its margins resulting from the coronavirus outbreak, it is experiencing a negative impact on its margins due to inflation and tightened labor markets.  The Company may not be able to timely increase its selling prices to its customer resulting from price increases from its suppliers due to various economic factors, including inflation, labor and shipping costs and its own increases in shipping, labor and other operating costs. The Company’s results of operations may also be affected by economic conditions, including inflationary pressures, that can impact consumer disposable income levels and spending habits, thereby reducing the orders it may receive from the Company’s significant customers.

 

 

The Company continues to experience minimal supply chain disruptions relating to fuel refinery and transportation issues as it pertains to shipping.  These issues first arose as result of the COVID-19 pandemic and other geo-political events. 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.

 

During the first quarter of calendar 2022, the war in Ukraine affected the Company’s customer’s business operations in Ukraine and Russia, resulting in the cancelation of some future orders. The war resulted in the imposition of sanctions by the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, that affect the cross-border operations of businesses operating in Russia. In addition, many multinational companies ceased or suspended their operations in Russia. Therefore, the ability to continue operations in Russia by the Company’s customers is uncertain.  Also, there may be a shortage of Sunflower Oil products in the near future and this may cause delays in production of certain raw materials and may require reformulation of products.
