SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND GEOGRAPHIC NET REVENUES | 7. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND GEOGRAPHIC NET REVENUES: 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 79% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and approximately 55% in the corresponding period of 2020. 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, or OEMs, and merchant power supply manufacturers. Sales to distributors were $134.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021, and $83.5 million for the corresponding period of 2020. Direct sales to OEMs and power-supply manufacturers accounted for the remainder. The following customers represented 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues for the respective periods:

As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, 86% and 90%, respectively, of accounts receivable were concentrated with the Company’s top ten customers. The following customers represented 10% or more of accounts receivable:
