Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Management Commentary: The company notes that based on historical experience, the amount awarded on these contracts has directly correlated to the amount received. Contract termination clauses exist but are rarely invoked.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Confidentiality: The identity of the new international defense contractor and the specific G-20 nation's armed forces is redacted per the contractor's requirements.
- Delivery Timing: The new $7.8 million contract delivery is scheduled to begin in mid-2012, creating a gap between the award date and revenue recognition.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the execution of the redacted subcontract (PO 35334144) and the identity of the prime contractor once disclosure is permitted.
- Confirm the commencement of deliveries for the 500+ units in mid-2012 as projected.
- Monitor the "Remaining Value" of $12.6 million across all listed contracts for potential termination or modification.
- Review the full Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, for detailed terms and conditions of these awards.
