Billed receivables from commercial customers	$	36,759,000	31,681,000
Billed receivables from the U.S. government and its agencies	10,285,000		10,316,000
Unbilled receivables on contracts-in-progress	22,552,000		13,517,000

Less allowance for doubtful accounts	700,000		627,000
Accounts receivable, net	$	68,896,000	54,887,000

Of the unbilled receivables at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, $21,164,000 and $9,990,000, respectively, relates to our two large over-the-horizon microwave system contracts with our large U.S. prime contractor customer (the majority of which related to our North African country end-customer). The remaining unbilled receivables include $490,000 and $770,000 at January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, respectively, due from the U.S. government and its agencies. We had virtually no retainage included in unbilled receivables at January 31, 2015 and $120,000 of retainage at July 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, substantially all of the unbilled receivables at January 31, 2015 will be billed and collected within one year.

As of January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014, 37.1% and 18.0%, respectively of total accounts receivable was due from one large U.S. prime contractor customer (the majority of which related to our North African country end-customer).
