Concentration of Business

Customers

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 $160,200, or 33.2%, and $137,000, or 28.2%, of total net sales were denominated in foreign currencies during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Approximately $209,400, or 30.3%, and $181,000, or 27.3%, of total net sales were denominated in foreign currencies during the six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. International sales were 37.3% and 35.7% of the Company's total net sales during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, compared to 38.8% and 36.1% during the six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, no single foreign country comprised more than 10% of the Company's total net sales.

Suppliers

The Company's production is concentrated at a limited number of independent manufacturing 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 and is sourced primarily from Australia and the UK. Beginning in 2013, in an effort to partially reduce its dependency on sheepskin, the Company began using a proprietary raw material, UGGpureTM (UGGpure), which is a wool woven into a durable backing, in some of its UGG brand products. The Company currently purchases UGGpure from two suppliers. 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, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, customs duties and related fees, various import controls and other nontariff barriers, restrictions on the transfer of funds, labor unrest and strikes, and, in certain parts of the world, 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.

Significant Customers

Management performs regular evaluations concerning the ability of its customers to satisfy their obligations to the Company and records an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon these evaluations. There was one customer that accounted for 10% or more of the Company's net sales during the three and six months ended September 30, 2017 compared to no customers that accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net sales during the three and six months ended September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2017, the Company had two customers representing 11.9% and 10.4% of trade accounts receivable, net, respectively. At March 31, 2017, the Company had one customer representing 11.2% of trade accounts receivable, net.

Credit Risk

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 equivalents is invested in interest-bearing funds managed by third-party investment management institutions. These investments can 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, and market and interest rate risks. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has experienced no significant loss on its money market funds or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts.
