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 primarily two financial institutions, one in the United States and one in China. The account in the United States may at times exceed federally insured limits. Of the $466 in cash at March 31, 2018, approximately $392 was held at banks located in China. 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 that together accounted for 10% or more of our net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. One division accounted for approximately 19% and 24% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The other division accounted for approximately 1% and 2% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  Together they accounted for approximately 20% and 26% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  Accounts receivable from the customer at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 represented approximately 17% and 16% of our total accounts receivable, respectively.

Export sales represented approximately 19% and 13% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
