16 Concentrations and credit risk

The Group operates principally in the PRC (including Hong Kong) and grants credit to its customers in this geographic region.  Although the PRC is economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Group's operations.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash and trade  receivables.

At March 31, 2013 and 2014, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninsured cash and deposits maturing over three months and less than one year in banks of approximately $2,154,000 and $1,165,000, respectively.

A substantial portion, 66%, 52% and 45% of revenue, was generated from one customer for the years ended March 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.

The net sales to customers representing at least 10% of net total sales are as follows:

    Year Ended March 31,  
    2012     2013     2014  
    $ in thousands     %     $ in thousands     %     $ in thousands     %  
                                     
Customer A     17,499       66       15,818       52       14,080       45  
Customer B     106       1       5,493       18       10,396       33  
Customer C     3,744       14       3,814       13       2,762       9  
                                     
      21,349       81       25,125       83       27,238       87  
                                     

The following customers had balances greater than 10% of the total trade receivables at the respective balance sheet dates set forth below:

    March 31,  
    2013     2014  
    $ in thousands     %     $ in thousands     %  
                         
Customer A     1,152       42       1,523       61  
Customer B     884       32       355       14  
Customer D     347       13       219       9  
                             
              87               84  
                             


At March 31, 2013 and 2014, these customers accounted for 87% and 84%, respectively, of net trade receivables.  The trade receivables have repayment terms of not more than twelve months.  Trade receivables for two customers accounted for 75% of total trade receivables as of March 31, 2014 (2013: 74%), and they were covered by credit insurance under a factoring agreement with a bank.  The Group does not require collateral to support financial instruments that are subject to credit risk.
