NOTE 13 — CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER CONCENTRATION

Customer Concentrations

A significant percentage of the Company’s sales are to three (3) large wholesale drug distributors:  AmerisourceBergen Health Corporation; Cardinal Health, Inc.; and McKesson Drug Company.  These three wholesalers (the “Big 3 Wholesalers”) are all distributors of the Company’s products, as well as suppliers of a broad range of health care products.  The following table sets forth the percentage of the Company’s gross accounts receivable as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the gross and net sales for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, attributable to the Big 3 Wholesalers:

   
Three months ended June 30,
   
Six months ended June 30,
 
Big 3 Wholesalers combined:
 
2014
   
2013
   
2014
   
2013
 
Percentage of gross sales
    70 %     57 %     67 %     58 %
Percentage of net sales revenues
    53 %     38 %     50 %     40 %

   
June 30, 2014
   
December 31, 2013
 
Percentage of gross trade accounts receivable
    74 %     63 %

If sales to any of the Big 3 Wholesalers were to diminish or cease, the Company believes that the end users of its products would have little difficulty obtaining the Company’s products either directly from the Company or from another distributor. The increase in the percentage of gross sales, net sales revenues and gross trade accounts receivables in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively are primarily related to the Hi-Tech acquisition.

No other customers accounted for more than 10% of gross sales, net revenues or gross trade receivables for the indicated dates and periods.

Supplier Concentrations

The Company requires a supply of quality raw materials and components to manufacture and package pharmaceutical products for its own use and for third parties with which it has contracted. The principal components of the Company’s products are active and inactive pharmaceutical ingredients and certain packaging materials. Certain of these ingredients and components are available from only a single source and, in the case of certain of the Company’s abbreviated new drug applications (“ANDAs”) and NDAs, only one supplier of raw materials has been identified. Because FDA approval of drugs requires manufacturers to specify their proposed suppliers of active ingredients and certain packaging materials in their applications, FDA approval of any new supplier would be required if active ingredients or such packaging materials were no longer available from the specified supplier. The qualification of a new supplier could delay the Company’s development and marketing efforts. In addition, certain of the pharmaceutical products marketed by the Company are manufactured by a partnered third party manufacturer, which serves as the Company’s sole source of that finished product.  If for any reason the Company is unable to obtain sufficient quantities of any of the raw materials or components required to produce and package its products, it may not be able to manufacture its products as planned, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.   Likewise, if the Company’s manufacturing partners experience any similar difficulties in obtaining raw materials or in manufacturing the finished product, the Company’s results of operations would be negatively impacted.

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, none of the Company’s suppliers accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s total purchases during the applicable quarter.

Product Concentrations

No products represented greater than 10% of the Company’s total sales during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, but one prescription pharmaceutical product represented greater than 10% of the Company’s total sales during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013.  During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, this product represented 11.9% and 11.4% of the Company’s total sales, respectively.  No other product represented 10% or more of the Company’s revenue during these periods.  The Company attempts to minimize the risk associated with product concentrations by continuing to acquire and develop new products to add to its portfolio.
