First tranche delivered, larger tranches en route: the same engine that just produced has visibly more already scheduled
The model's full reasoning — Q3 2016 call → NOWe need to determine if management describes one identifiable engine of new business with both: (1) a first tranche actually landed in the just-reported period (Q3 2016), and (2) larger tranches already in motion behind it, with the remainder larger than what's been recognized, and management treats it as execution/timing. Look for specific contracts/programs. The Viper program: initial order over 1,000 units completed in Q3, follow-on order $2.2 million received in early Q4 with delivery starting Q4. That is a specific engine. First tranche: initial order completed in Q3 (delivered). Larger tranches: follow-on order $2.2 million already received, delivery starting Q4. Is that larger than the initial? Initial order was over 1,000 units, value? The initial award was $8.2 million (from earlier context). Actually the transcript says "the final deliveries of the initial order for over 1,000 units were completed in Q3" and "a follow-on order for $2.2 million was received in early Q4". So the initial order was $8.2 million (from earlier in the call? Actually the transcript mentions "the vehicle installed Power Enhanced Riflemen Appliqué or Viper large program contract announced last year" and later "the initial award" - but the $8.2 million figure is not in the transcript? Wait, the transcript says "the Viper program, the final deliveries of the initial order for over 1,000 units were completed in Q3" and "a follow-on order for $2.2 million was received in early Q4". So the initial order was larger than the follow-on. The follow-on is $2.2 million, which is smaller than the initial order (which was over 1,000 units, likely worth more). So the delivered portion (initial order) is larger than the follow-on. The question asks: "the remainder as larger than what has been recognized so far." Here the remainder (follow-on $2.2M) is smaller than the initial order (which was completed). So that fails the condition that the remainder is larger. Also management says "We're hopeful that this could lead to an ongoing stream of future orders" - that is hoped-for demand, not already secured. So Viper does not qualify. Other engines? Maybe the medical business? They mention "closed transactions with several medical customers, ranging in size from $300,000 to $4.8 million" - but that's a collection of various orders, not a single engine with a first tranche and larger tranches.
