Note 9. Significant Risks and Uncertainties

 

(a) Concentrations of Credit Risk-Cash. The Company maintains balances at several financial institutions. Deposits at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $177 in uninsured deposits at these financial institutions.

 

(b) Concentrations of Credit Risk-Receivables. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited. The Company does not require collateral in relation to its trade accounts receivable credit risk.

 

(c) Major Customers.  In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, approximately 90% and 92% of consolidated net sales, respectively, were derived from two customers. These two customers are in the Company’s Contract Manufacturing Segment and represent approximately 67% and 26% and 69% and 26%, respectively, of this segment’s net sales in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  Accounts receivable from these two major customers represented approximately 70% and 93% of total net accounts receivable as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  Two other customers in the Other Nutraceutical Segment, while not significant customers of the Company’s consolidated net sales, represented approximately 40% and 19% and 1% and 30%, respectively, of net sales of the Other Nutraceutical Segment in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  The loss of any of these customers could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations. Major customers are those customers who account for more than 10% of net sales.

 

(d) Business Risks. The Company insures its business and assets against insurable risks, to the extent that it deems appropriate, based upon an analysis of the relative risks and costs. The Company believes that the risk of loss from non-insurable events would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations as a whole.

 

The raw materials used by the Company are primarily commodities and agricultural-based products. Raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its nutraceutical products are purchased from independent suppliers. Raw materials are available from numerous sources and the Company believes that it will continue to obtain adequate supplies.

 

As of June 30, 2022, approximately 72% the Company’s employees are covered by a union contract and are employed in its New Jersey facilities. The contract was renewed effective September 1, 2020 and will expire on September 30, 2022, as extended.

 

The Company is still experiencing supply chain disruptions relating to fuel refinery and transportation issues as it pertains to both shipping and production of plastics.  These issues first arose as result of the COVID-19 pandemic and other geo-political events.  This continues to impact the supply and demand of bottles and caps, key components in the Company's Contract Manufacturing Segment.   Transportation, in general, continues to be an issue in the delay of receiving other raw materials and the Company's ability to meet promised delivery dates to the Company's customers in the Contract Manufacturing Segment.

 

Additionally, the significant outbreak of this contagious disease in the human population has resulted in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect demand for the Company’s products and impact the Company’s operating results.

 

While the Company hasn’t, to date, seen a significant negative impact in its margins resulting from the coronavirus outbreak, it is experiencing a slight negative impact on its margins due to inflation and tightened labor markets. 

 

During the first quarter of calendar 2022, the war in Ukraine affected the Company’s customer’s business operations in Ukraine and Russia, resulting in the cancelation of some future orders. The war resulted in the imposition of sanctions by the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, that affect the cross-border operations of businesses operating in Russia. In addition, many multinational companies ceased or suspended their operations in Russia. Therefore, the ability to continue operations in Russia by the Company’s customers is uncertain.  Also, there may be a shortage of Sunflower Oil products in the near future and this may cause delays in production of certain raw materials and may require reformulation of products.

 

Additionally, unrelated to the war, a recent export ban of palm oil products from Indonesia may play a role in reformulation of many products.  This may cause delays in finished products as these items will need to be reformulated and labels updated and printed with the changes, which may cause further delays.
