Concentrations of Risk

(17) Concentrations of Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of cash and trade receivables. Cash is placed with high-credit quality financial institutions. The Company believes its credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to industry and geographic diversification. As disclosed on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful receivables to cover the Company’s estimate of credit losses associated with accounts receivable.

No single customer accounts for as much as five percent of the Company’s consolidated net sales or accounts receivable.

The Company, for quality and pricing reasons, purchases its paper products from a limited number of suppliers. For fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company purchased 50%, 51%, and 43%, respectively, of its materials from one third party vendor. As of February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022, the net amount due to the vendor was $3.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively. While other sources may be available to the Company to purchase these products, they may not be available at the cost or at the quality the Company has come to expect.

For the purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers cash to include cash on hand and in bank accounts. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures accounts up to $250,000. At February 28, 2023, cash balances included $93.0 million that was not federally insured because it represented amounts in individual accounts above the federally insured limit for each such account. This at-risk amount is subject to fluctuation on a daily basis. While management does not believe there is significant risk with respect to such deposits as we have not experienced any losses in such accounts and we believe that we have placed our cash on deposit with financial institutions which are financially stable, we cannot be assured that we will not experience losses on our deposits.
