The Company invests cash in accordance with a policy objective that seeks to preserve both liquidity and safety of principal. The Company manages the credit risk associated with its investments in marketable securities by investing in U.S. government securities and investment grade corporate bonds. The Company’s exposure to credit risk relating to its accounts receivable is limited. To manage credit risk in accounts receivable, the Company performs regular credit evaluations of its customers and provides allowances for potential credit losses, when applicable. At September 30, 2011, there were no customers representing over 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. The Company is dependent upon sole-source suppliers for a number of its products. There can be no assurance that these suppliers will be able to meet the Company’s future requirements for such products or parts or that they will be available at favorable terms. Any extended interruption in the supply of any such products or parts or any significant price increase could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results in any given period.
