Thank you. Dr. Iheagwara, you are to be congratulated, first, for being selected by DBED as Maryland Homeland Security Company of the Year.

I think it is very encouraging, and, of course, there is a great advantage to us here in Maryland.

Did that number surprise you or did you expect that it would be that high?
