Concentration of Credit Risk
Note 2 - Concentration of Credit Risk
 
American maintains its cash and certificates of deposit in commercial accounts at major financial institutions. The FDIC no longer has limits on non-interest bearing accounts. Although the financial institutions are considered creditworthy, at March 31, 2012, American's cash and certificates of deposit balances held in banks in interest bearing accounts exceeded the limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation by approximately $57,200. The terms of these deposits are on demand to minimize risk. American has not incurred losses related to these deposits.
 
Trade accounts receivable subject American to the potential for credit risk with customers in the retail and distribution sectors. To reduce credit risk, American performs ongoing evaluations of its customer's financial condition but generally does not require collateral. As of and during the three months ended March 31, 2012, NPI had one customer that accounted for 14% of revenues and 17% of trade accounts receivable, one customer that accounted for 25% of trade accounts receivable, and one customer that accounted for 10% of trade accounts receivable on a consolidated basis.
