PCS Edventures continues its participation in an umbrella nationwide STEM initiative, a Math and Science development program, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom is developing science centers to inspire students to embrace science and pursue interests in technical careers.

I am pleased that, with this latest participation under this supplemental order the final revenues for that contract to date has exceeded the original projected amount of $685K by $60,000. Since that time we have announced two more awarded contracts. I see the STEM Outreach program in Saudi Arabia continuing to expand in the future and we look forward to providing ongoing support as requested. Our successful fulfillment of this contract, the $133K training contract in February, and the recent award of the new $1MM STEM contract announced last week are a positive trend in our growing Middle East business opportunity. We intend to continue to pursue opportunities under the Saudi STEM initiative as elsewhere in that region and are hopeful those efforts bear fruition."
