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 two high-credit quality financial institutions.  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.

Our largest customer has two divisions which accounted for 10% or more of our net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.  The first division accounted for 24% of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 19% of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.  The second division accounted for 6% and 5% of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively and 4% of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.  Together the divisions accounted for 30% and 29% of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively and 23% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

Combined accounts receivable from both divisions represented 19% and 20% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Export sales represented 14% and 13% of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.  Export sales represented 12% of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.  The increase in export sales relates to increased sales volume to existing customers.
