 Concentration of Risk
 
The Company maintains its cash in various bank accounts, the balances of which at times
may
exceed federally insured limits. The Company has
not
experienced any losses related to these accounts, and management does
not
believe that the Company is exposed to significant credit risk.
 
The Company
’s investments in marketable securities are in
one
publicly traded entity. The Company recognized a gain on investment in common stock warrants in a prior period and during
2017
and
2016
recognized an unrealized gain in comprehensive income for changes in the fair value of the investment. The Company is exposed to the fluctuation in the stock price of this investment.
 
Management believes that adequate provision has been made for risk of loss on all credit transactions.
 
The Company buys a significant amount of its disposable protective apparel products from a
limited number of subcontractors located in Asia and, to a much lesser extent, a subcontractor in Mexico. Management believes that other suppliers could provide similar products at comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in shipment and a possible loss of sales, which would affect operating results adversely.
 
The
Building Supply segment buys semi-finished housewrap and synthetic roof underlayment from its joint venture, Harmony, located in India. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers of the particular product, management believes that other suppliers could provide similar products at comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a delay in shipment and a possible loss of sales, which would affect operating results adversely.
 
The Company provides products to customers located primarily in
the United States. Customers accounting for
10%
or more of accounts receivable as of
