We've done...

This was like early March.

So people, lockdowns had just started.

Everybody was starting to freak out.

There was basically nowhere to get a test.

Unless you were ultra high risk and in a hospital, there was pretty much no chance you were getting a test.

So everybody was freaking out.

This is when everybody was still like cleaning their supermarket bags with wipes and nobody knows what's going on.

Everything's shutting down.

It wasn't so bad on the West Coast, but New York was like, was really bad already by this point.

And so they're paying ahead of time.

So the best thing we could get with the city of LA, because they have obviously their city, there are certain restrictions, is that they would pay after delivery, but they would pay net one on the invoice.

And so we would deliver the tests for a day, and then we would send somebody to City Hall the next morning to pick up a check for those tests.

So the tests had been done.

They were paying after we delivered them.

But it was not your standard net 30 or net 60 for a government contract.

We were invoicing them every day for the number of tests they did.

And they were having somebody in their finance department get us the check because we needed that to pay for supplies to basically grow out that testing capacity for where they want it to be.

Probably one of the Florida contracts was maybe the largest.

So we did a contract with the state of Florida for all of their nursing home testing.
