Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is subject to routine litigation and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. Management is not aware of any pending or threatened lawsuits or proceedings that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Commitments

The Company agreed to provide indemnification to National Oilwell DHT, L.P. for certain intellectual property-related claims in connection with sale of its Teledrift business unit in 2017. The expenses incurred by the Company were minimal and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company expects to incur additional costs in the next six months, which are estimated to range between $0.3 million and $0.5 million, but could be higher.

Concentrations and Credit Risk

The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from its Chemistry Technologies segment, which consists predominantly of customers within the oil and gas industry and the sanitizer industry to a lesser extent.  Customers within the oil and gas industry include oilfield services companies, integrated oil and natural gas companies, independent oil and natural gas companies, and state-owned national oil companies. Customers within the sanitizer industry typically include industrial and consumer markets, including hospitals, travel and hospitality, food services, e-commerce and retail, sports and entertainment. Given the increase in global demand for sanitizer products due to COVID-19, the Company's concentration of customers is shifting and diversifying, which helps to reduce credit and business risk. Customers within the sanitizer industry are not significantly impacted by commodity prices and typically are financially stable or public institutions.

The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk within trade accounts receivable, as the Company does not generally require collateral as support for trade receivables.  In addition, the majority of the Company’s cash is invested in accounts in two major financial institutions and balances often exceed insurable amounts.
