CONCENTRATIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES	NOTE 9: CONCENTRATIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and short-term investments. We hold cash and cash equivalents at banks located in California and North Carolina with balances that often exceed FDIC-insured limits. In addition, we hold cash at a bank in France that is not FDIC-insured. Historically, we have not experienced any losses in such accounts. However, considering the current banking environment, we are investigating alternative ways to minimize our exposure to such risks. While we may be exposed to credit losses due to the nonperformance of our counterparties, we do not expect the settlement of these transactions to have a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
