NOTE 12 – SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

 

Our products are distributed through numerous food, multi-outlet pharmacy and chain drug stores, large wholesalers and mass merchandisers throughout the United States. Revenues for Fiscal 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $17.5 million, $14.5 million and $19.8 million, respectively. Walgreen Company (“Walgreens”), Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“Wal-Mart”), CVS Caremark Corporation (“CVS”) and Rite-Aid Corp (“Rite Aid”) accounted for approximately 17%, 14%, 13% and 12% of our Fiscal 2011 revenues. Walgreens, Wal-Mart and Rite Aid accounted for approximately 23%, 14% and 10% of our Fiscal 2010 revenues. CVS, Walgreens and Wal-Mart accounted for approximately 15%, 15% and 13% of our revenues for Fiscal 2009. The loss of sales to any one or more of these large retail customers could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial condition.

 

We are subject to account receivable credit concentrations from time-to-time as a consequence of the timing, payment pattern and ultimate purchase volumes or shipping schedules with our customers. These concentrations may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that our customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other conditions that may impact the timing and collectability of amounts due to us. Customers comprising the five largest accounts receivable balances represented 53% and 51% of total trade receivable balances at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Management believes that the provision for possible losses on uncollectible accounts receivable is adequate for our credit loss exposure. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the allowance for doubtful accounts was zero and $13,000, respectively.
