Concentrations of credit risk
Note 3 - Concentrations of credit risk
 
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. At October 31, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of federally insured limits in the amount of approximately $5.2 million.
 

Two customers accounted for approximately 20% and 11% of the Company’s net sales for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, and one customer accounted for approximately 15% of the Company’s net sales for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016. At October 31, 2017 these customers’ accounts receivable balance accounted for approximately 27% and 5% of the Company’s total net accounts receivable balances, and at October 31, 2016, this customer’s accounts receivable balance accounted for approximately 20% of the Company’s total net accounts receivable balance.  Although these customers have been on-going major customers of the Company continuously in the past, the written agreements with these customers do not have any minimum purchase obligations and the customers could stop buying the Company’s products at any time and for any reason. A reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from these customers or the loss of these customers could significantly reduce the Company’s future revenues and profits.
 
There was no product line that was significant for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2017 and 2016.
