Sales to U.S. government customers include the Department of Defense ("DoD") and intelligence and civilian agencies, as well as sales directly to or through prime contractors.

International sales for the three months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015 (which include sales to U.S. domestic companies for inclusion in products that will be sold to international customers) were $26,731,000 and $49,768,000, respectively. International sales for the six months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015 (which include sales to U.S. domestic companies for inclusion in products that will be sold to international customers) were $54,983,000 and $96,524,000, respectively.

Sales to a U.S. prime contractor customer represented approximately 14.4% of consolidated net sales for both three and six months ended January 31, 2015. Almost all of these sales related to our North African country end-customer. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2016, except for the U.S. government, no other customer or individual country (including sales to U.S. domestic companies for inclusion in products that will be sold to a foreign country) represented more than 10% of consolidated net sales.
