Concentration of Suppliers

Several of the Company’s component parts are produced by a sole or limited number of suppliers. Shortages could occur in these essential materials due to increased demand, or to an interruption of supply. Suppliers may choose to restrict credit terms or require advance payments causing delays in the procurement of essential materials. If the Company were unable to procure certain of such materials, it could have a material adverse effect upon its results. At September 30, 2019, 36% of the Company’s accounts payable balances were concentrated in the top three suppliers. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, top three suppliers accounted for 53% of the inventory purchases.
