We may need to record a reserve against approximately $1.3 million in accounts receivable.

Our accounts receivable at December 31, 2015 included approximately $1.3 million owed to us by the manufacturer of our CloudPets product for the electronic components that we sourced and resold to the manufacturer. The manufacturer included those components in final products, which it sold to an affiliate of our licensee. Unfortunately, the affiliate’s customer cancelled its order for a large quantity of the CloudPets units, which remain unsold in the affiliate’s inventory. The affiliate has, therefore, failed to pay the manufacturer for those units, and the manufacturer, in turn, has withheld payment of most of the $1.3 million that it owes to us. We are currently negotiating a resolution to this problem, and still consider collection of the receivable in full to be likely. However, if the negotiations fail or are inconclusive for an extended period, we will be required by generally accepted accounting principles to record a reserve against the possible write-off of the receivable. Such a reserve would be recorded as an expense when recorded, and would adversely affect our financial results and the stability of our balance sheet.
