12. Risks and Uncertainties

On July 16, 2014, the U.S. Department of the Treasury imposed new economic sanctions against Russian entities, targeting major banks and energy companies and a significant portion of the Russian defense industry, along with certain other parties. Although the Company sells its products in Russia through three independent distributors, against which the sanctions are not applicable, certain end-customers of these independent distributors have been identified as sanctioned entities. As of June 30, 2014, while backlog indirectly associated with these sanctioned entities was negligible, outstanding accounts receivable due from an independent distributor associated with sales to a sanctioned end-customer totaled approximately $906,000. The Company has no reason to believe it will not collect this amount from its independent distributor, although, given the current circumstances, management will carefully monitor the collectability of the outstanding amount, as well as the compliance of its distribution partners in the Russian market with U.S. trade restrictions, including the recent sanctions.
