Segment Information and Concentrations

4. Segment Information and Concentrations:

The Company views its operations as three segments: the manufacture and marketing of standard benchtop laboratory equipment for research in university, hospital and industrial laboratories sold primarily through laboratory equipment distributors (ABenchtop Laboratory Equipment@), the manufacture and marketing of custom-made catalyst research instruments for universities, government laboratories, and chemical and petrochemical companies sold on a direct basis (ACatalyst Research Instruments@) and the marketing and production of bioprocessing systems for laboratory research in the biotechnology industry sold directly to customers and through distributors ("Bioprocessing Systems").

Segment information is reported as follows (foreign sales are principally to customers in Europe and Asia):

Approximately 65% and 73% of net sales of benchtop laboratory equipment (43% and 46% of total net sales) for the three month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were derived from the Company's main product, the Vortex-Genie 2® mixer, excluding accessories.

Two customers accounted in the aggregate for approximately 25% and 24% of the net sales of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment Operations and 17% and 15% of total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Sales of catalyst research instruments generally comprise a few very large orders averaging at least $100,000 per order to a limited number of customers, who differ from order to order. Sales to three customers and four customers represented approximately 91% and 95% of the Catalyst Research Instrument Operations' net sales, respectively, and 24% and 34% of total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
