I use what the company says for my facts so it cannot be disputed. Like this:

In 2016, we received a contract from the U.S. Army to deliver the first samples of its recombinant spider silk materials. In 2017, this contract was expanded to include research into the development of stronger silk materials. As a result of that contract, the Company brought its research operations in-house, opening its own research laboratories and expanding its scientific staff. This transition to in-house operations has led to a series of new technical breakthroughs and is believed to have accelerated the pace of new development. We intend to turn its technology to the development and production of high performance polymers.

With the funding we received from the U.S. Army, we were able to conduct our research and development in-house, at less cost, and therefore we did not extend the 2015 Notre Dame Research Agreement after September 30, 2017, but in the future we may consider forming new collaborative research agreements.

For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $0 and $401,620 respectively in revenue from the Government contract. These revenues were generated for work performed in the development and production of the Company’s recombinant silks under the base and option period phases of our ongoing contract with the US Army.

On July 24, 2017, the Company signed a contract option extension with the US Army to research and deliver recombinant spider silk fibers and threads. This contract option increased the total contract award by an additional $921,130 to a total of $1,021,092 and added 12 months to the contract duration. This effort was scheduled to end on September 24, 2018, but the Company requested an extension of this contract option period through April 2019 to complete the work. The Company has been in communication with the contracting office and is working with them as they determine the best path forward; Management believes there is a possibility of securing a follow-up contract to complete the delivery of all materials for the contract. The Company is also continuing to pursue additional contract opportunities with the Department of Defense, Department of Energy and other governmental agencies.
