CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS

NOTE 2. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable.  With regard to cash, we maintain our excess cash balances in checking accounts at one high-credit quality financial institution.  These accounts may at times exceed federally insured limits.  We grant credit to customers in the normal course of business and do not require collateral on our accounts receivable.

 

One customer accounted for 10% or more of our net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:
