Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.

Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many geographic areas. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents, and other financial instruments, with various major financial institutions.

The Company has material deposits with a global financial institution. It performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of its financial institutions and monitors the amount of exposure.

The Company continues to monitor credit risk associated with its trade receivables, especially during this period of continued global economic uncertainty.
