CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

7.         CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company maintains its cash balances primarily in two financial institutions.  As of December 31, 2016, the balance at one of the institutions exceeded the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage.

Trade receivables are financial instruments that also expose the Company to concentration of credit risk.  The large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across different geographic areas limits such exposure. In addition, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that management believes will adequately provide for credit losses.
