Does that mean their COST will approach $8.6 million (construction budget)? How can we tell what they'll charge, i.e. what their PROFIT will be?

"its present revenue available under contract exceeds $10 million"

And does this mean "accounts receivable"?

Keith I got in at .08 and left it, it hit .09 and it looked nice, I went with 10k shares. I left it overnight as I have a strong feeling it will gap tommarrow. If not o well, but I don't see any reason why it should tank at all. Good good news.

Sorry if these are dumb questions.

your looking at the wrong spot.... see revenues from last year, this contract represents almost double the contracts from last year.....

do the math...

"Holdings, the company will experience revenues at multiples above
historic performance. Which this contract represents 175% of last
years sales for Alliance Holdings which is well ahead of original
