Cooler heads prevailing Otis. Thanks for pointing out our sources here. The next iteration of our DNA marking program for the DLA is going to be a whole new animal.
Thanks for keeping our eyes on the money that will be coming in. Helping us keep the lights on:)

Thats likely due to this?

Great. And then on the federal piece of the business, have you been able to expand to other parts -- other than say semiconductors, and what about the expansion of federal suppliers? Have you been able to successfully expand the suppliers to the government?

A. DR JIM HAYWARD - CHAIRMAN and CEO
Well that's a very critical element, really, of both of our DoD contracts. So in particular, the contract that comes from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, has us expanding our DNA marking campaign, from a single, simple federal supply class called 5962, which is really the semiconductors to a much broader base, that totals *66 new federal supply classes. This is a lot of work to be done in the execution of that contract. And what that contract does, is build revenue for us, as we diversify the marking base.
So the answer is, yes, we are making progress, reaching out to companies that manufacture things like ball bearings, wire harnesses, wire coatings, and other industrial kinds of materials, and we are beginning those programs of DNA marking a wide variety of materials, and evaluating their performance in military circumstances.
