Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures. We formally evaluated our liquidity and cash position most recently in May 2024 when preparing our March 31, 2024 unaudited financial statements.

We have received purchase orders from various federal government agency customers totaling over $13 million from which we shipped and started receiving cash in the first quarter of 2024.
