The Company does not consider international operations to be a separate segment, as management reviews such operations in the aggregate, together with the aforementioned segments.

*No other country’s long-lived assets comprised more than 10% of total
long-lived assets as of June 30, 2016 or March 31, 2016.

The Company sells its products to customers throughout the US and to foreign customers located in Europe, Asia, Canada, Australia, and Latin America, among other regions. Approximately $43,000, or 24.9%, and approximately $47,000, or 21.9%, of the Company's total net sales were denominated in foreign currencies for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  International sales comprised 37.2% and 37.1% of the Company’s total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, no single foreign country comprised more than 10% of total net sales.

Management performs regular evaluations concerning the ability of its customers to satisfy their obligations and records a provision for doubtful accounts based on these evaluations. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 or 2015. At June 30, 2016, the Company had two customers representing 17.6% and 12.0%, respectively, of trade accounts receivable, net. At March 31, 2016, the Company had one customer representing 12.8% of trade accounts receivable, net.

The Company’s production is concentrated at a limited number of independent contractor factories in Asia. Sheepskin is the principal raw material for certain UGG products and the majority of sheepskin is purchased from two tanneries in China, which is sourced primarily from Australia and the United Kingdom. The Company began using a new raw material, UGGpureTM, wool woven into a durable backing, in some of its UGG products in 2013 and which the Company currently purchases from one supplier. The other production materials used by the Company are sourced primarily in Asia. The Company’s operations are subject to the customary risks of doing business abroad, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuations, customs duties and related fees, various import controls and other nontariff barriers, restrictions on the transfer of funds, labor unrest and strikes, and political instability. The supply of sheepskin can be adversely impacted by weather conditions, disease, and harvesting decisions that are completely outside the Company’s control. Furthermore, the price of sheepskin is impacted by demand, industry, and competitors.

A portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents is held as cash in operating accounts with third-party financial institutions. These balances, at times, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.  While the Company regularly monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets.
  
The remainder of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance is invested in interest bearing funds managed by third-party investment management institutions. These investments may include US treasury bonds and securities, money market funds, and municipal bonds, among other investments. Certain of these investments are subject to general credit, liquidity, market, and interest rate risks. At June 30, 2016, the Company had experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts, invested cash and cash equivalents.
