10-20 has recorded increased revenues in seven of the last eight quarters and earned $1.25 million in revenues in the first quarter 2015. As the Company has completed its site setup at Barstow and now has a large trained workforce it has been able to increase its efficiencies and generate cash flow positive operations.
At the beginning of 2014, 10-20 won an award to clean & repair general personal equipment and gear for the US Army Special Operations Command. To date the Company has cleaned over 122,000 pieces of equipment and returned this gear back into service saving the government approximately 88% over replacement cost with total savings to the Government of greater than $10 million. 10-20 received in May another $200k continuing purchase order to carry on this work.
In third quarter 2014, 10-20 won a $4.2 million contract to clean and decontaminate infantry combat equipment for the US Marine Corps Logistics Systems Command in Barstow CA. This contract began in the beginning of October 2014 with gear being cleaned at the Washington and North Carolina sites. Work also began at the Company's new site in Barstow in late March 2015. To date we have cleaned and repackaged over 2,600 pallets of gear representing approximately $70.2 million of infantry combat equipment with savings over replacement cost to the government in excess of $67 million.
In addition to work for the US military, 10-20 has begun work with the US National Guard in both Washington State and South Carolina. The National Guard is a separate organization within the US Department of Defense and its 450k members are controlled by the respective states.
