The $99,962 contract was just a simple basic R&D contract for samples. I don't know exactly what the other $900K would entail, but I believe that Kim would, at the minimum, be able to scale his silkworms on the artificial feed to meet the demand of that contract.
I believe that the 10 fold remark probably means that they are only producing very small scale currently. After all, they announced only on October 3, 2016 that they had 40,000 silkworms. That many can make about 8 kilograms of silk. Apparently enough for samples and definitely scaleable, but still very small scale.
