Industry Risk and Concentration
Note 9—Industry Risk and Concentration
 
The Company develops genetic risk assessment tests and performs research for its own benefit. As of March 31, 2017, the Company sells five genetic risk assessment tests. Commercial success of the Company’s genetic risk assessment tests will depend on their success at being deemed to be scientifically credible and cost-effective by consumers and the marketing success of the Company and its collaborative partners.
 
Research in the field of disease predisposing genes and genetic markers is intense and highly competitive. The Company has many competitors in the United States and abroad that have considerably greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources available. If the Company does not discover disease predisposing genes or genetic markers and develop risk assessment tests and launch such services or products before its competitors, then the potential for significant revenues may be reduced or eliminated.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, approximately 46% and 14%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue came from sales through the Company’s  Merchant Network and Channel Partner Agreement with Amway Global, a subsidiary of Alticor, and 8% and 3%, respectively, of the Company’s  revenue came from sales through ABG’s promotional product bundle program.
