Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

 

The Company’s domestic cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities consist of cash deposits in FDIC insured banks (substantially covered by FDIC insurance by the spreading of deposits in multiple FDIC insured banks), and U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of twelve months or less. The U.S. Treasury securities are held in the custody of major financial institutions and their value is not subject to insurance. In the foreign markets we serve, we also maintain cash deposits in foreign banks, which have no specific insurance. Normally, these uninsured bank deposits are not significant, and they are deposited with major multinational banks. No significant losses have been experienced nor are they expected on these bank accounts or investments.

 

Accounts receivable and revenues

 

The Company’s revenues, and the related receivables, are concentrated in the pharmaceutical industry in Puerto Rico, the United States of America and Europe. Although a few customers represent a significant source of revenue, the Company’s functions are not a continuous process, accordingly, the client base for which the services are typically rendered, on a project-by-project basis, changes regularly.
