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.

For the years ended
September 30, 2018,
2017,

not
have any agreements that obligate these major customers to purchase products in the future from us.
