SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND INTERNATIONAL SALES
SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND INTERNATIONAL SALES:
Segment Reporting
The Company is organized and operates as one reportable segment, the design, development, manufacture and marketing of integrated circuits and related components for use primarily in the high-voltage power-conversion market. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.
Customer Concentration
The Company's top ten customers accounted for approximately 63% and 62% of net revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively and approximately 62% and 60% of net revenues, respectively, in the corresponding periods of the previous year. A significant portion of these revenues are attributable to sales of the Company’s products to distributors of electronic components. These distributors sell the Company’s products to a broad, diverse range of end users, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and merchant power supply manufacturers.
In the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, two customers, both distributors of the Company's products, accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net revenues. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, one customer, also a distributor, accounted for more than 10% of net revenues.
The following table discloses these customers’ percentage of revenues for the respective periods:
