Policies
Loans To Related Parties	Loans to Related Parties As a general policy, the Company does not make loans to related entities including employees, directors, shareholders, suppliers or customers. UTMD was able to manage its A/R balances to achieve an average aging of 35 days from date of invoice by the end of the 2012 year, and A/R balances over 90 days from date of invoice to 1% of total A/R. Both of these measures are historically lower than normal. As an exception in 2009, the Company extended partial payment terms to an OEM customer that converted to a three-year term loan of $70 on July 1, 2010. The balance on the note was $15 at year-end 2012. The loan is secured by personal guarantees provided by the principals of the customer. UTMD believes that this was a wise use of its liquidity to build goodwill with a customer at an unusual time, which should ultimately help grow UTMD's business.
