FISH: I was in hurry earlier today. The following is a more detailed expiation from the same SEC document that i had cited that discusses the customer 10% reporting requirement:

" 2. Major customers

Since the adoption of SFAS No. 14, GAAP has required

disclosure of revenues from major customers.[35] SFAS No. 131

now requires issuers to disclose the amount of revenues from each

external customer that amounts to 10 percent or more of an

enterprise’s revenue as well as the identity of the segment(s)

reporting the revenues. The accounting standards, however, have

never required issuers to identify major customers. On the other

hand, Regulation S-K Item 101 historically has required naming a

major customer if sales to that customer equal 10 percent or more

of the issuer’s consolidated revenues and if the loss of the

customer would have a material adverse effect on the issuer and

its subsidiaries.[36] We continue to believe that the identity

of major customers is material information to investors. This

disclosure allows a reader to better assess risks associated with

a particular customer, as well as material concentrations of

revenues related to that customer. Consequently, we retain this

Regulation S-K requirement, as we proposed."
