Actual results could differ from these estimates. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the determination of standalone selling price for revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, the period of benefit for deferred contract costs for commissions, stock-based compensation, provision for income taxes including related reserves, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, and the incremental borrowing rate we use to determine our operating lease liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.</span></div>

At the end of fiscal 2019 and 2020, the majority of our cash and cash equivalents have been invested with three financial institutions and such deposits exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold our investments are financially sound and, accordingly, are subject to minimal credit risk. We define a customer as an entity that purchases our products and services from one of our channel partners or from us directly. The majority of our revenue and accounts receivable are derived from the United States across a multitude of industries. We perform ongoing evaluations to determine customer credit. At the end of fiscal 2020, no channel partner represented 10% or more of total accounts receivable. At the end of fiscal 2019, we had one channel partner that represented 10% of total accounts receivable. At the end of fiscal 2019 and 2020, we had one customer that represented 10% and 12% of accounts receivable. No channel partner represented more than 10% of revenue for fiscal 2018 and 2020. One channel partner represented 11% of revenue for fiscal 2019. No customer represented 10% or more of revenue for fiscal 2018, 2019 or 2020. We rely on a limited number of contract manufacturers and suppliers of components for our products. In instances where contract manufacturers and suppliers fail to perform their obligations, we may be unable to find alternative contract manufacturers and suppliers or satisfactorily deliver our products to our customers on time.</span></div>
