Our recently announced large cargo backlog of approximately $27 million gives us a good degree of visibility and continued momentum. ``Quotation activity is strong and requests are coming in from a wide diversity of customers, both government and corporate. We have picked up many new accounts all over the world and will look towards continuing to expand these relationships in the coming months,'' concluded Chopra.
