Significant Risks and Uncertainties
 
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company places most of its temporary cash investments with financial institutions, which from time to time
may
exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. The amount at
risk at
December
31,
2016
and at
December
31,
2015
was
$20,157,000
and
$11,966,000
respectively.
 
Sales Concentrations
 
Revenue to a single customer in any
one
year can exceed
10.0%
of our total sales.
One
customer represented
45.3%
and
49.6%
respectively, of our annual revenues in fiscal years
2016
and
2015.
Another customer represented
13.7%
of our revenue in
2015.
Previously, we have not been generally dependent on any single customer, and the loss of any customer would be replaced by others, however, the dynamic has changed and although, we believe that our relationship with our current largest customers will provide us with ongoing continuous sustainability for years to come, the loss of current key customers would have to be replaced by others, and our inability to do so
may
have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
 
Export sales to unaffiliated customers represented approximately
11.9%
and
9.0%
of sales for the years ended
December
31,
2016
and
2015,
respectively. Export sales in both
2016
and
2015
were primarily to customers in Europe and Asia. All contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company does not enter into any foreign exchange contracts.
