NOTE 9 - CONCENTRATION OF RISK
 
     Because the Company sells into markets dominated by a few large service providers, a significant percentage of consolidated revenues and consolidated accounts receivable relate to a small number of customers. One customer of the Company's Satellite business unit accounted for 24% and 38% of consolidated revenues for the quarters ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and accounted for 30% and 39% of consolidated revenues for the respective six-month periods then ended. This customer accounted for 21% and 28% of consolidated net accounts receivable at August 31, 2011 and February 28, 2011, respectively. One other customer accounted for 11% of consolidated revenue for the three months ended August 31, 2011.
 
     Some of the Company’s components, assemblies and electronic manufacturing services are purchased from sole source suppliers. One supplier, which functions as an independent foreign procurement agent, accounted for approximately 50% of the Company's total inventory purchases in the six months ended August 31, 2011 and 2010. At August 31, 2011, this supplier accounted for 47% of the Company's total accounts payable balance.
