Concentration Risk Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 4 – CONCENTRATIONS Suppliers: The Company purchases critical components for our products, including injection molded parts and connectors from third parties, some of whom are single- or limited-source suppliers. If any of our suppliers are unable to ship critical components, we may be unable to manufacture and ship products to our distributors or customers. If the price of these components increases for any reason, or if these suppliers are unable or unwilling to deliver, we may have to find another source, which could result in interruptions, increased costs, delays, loss of sales and quality control problems. Customers: For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had two customers that comprised 30% and 29% of net sales, respectively. Both of these customers are distributors. These major customers, like our other customers, purchase our products from time to time through purchase orders, and we do not have any agreements that obligate these major customers to purchase products in the future from us. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the two customers noted above also accounted for 25% and 28% of accounts receivable, respectively.
