In the report, the analyst notes:

"Revenues for 2009 were $13.9 million, down 8% from $15.1 million in 2008 primarily due to decreased revenue associated with the Company's agreement with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of $3.2 million. The lower revenue under the DHS agreement is a result of decreased work scope and effort in 2009 as compared to the 2008 period.

"GNVC recently announced that encouraging clinical and preclinical malaria vaccine data were presented at the Keystone Symposium - Malaria: New Approaches to Understanding Host-Parasite Interactions, which took place on April 11–16, 2010, in Copper Mountain, Colorado.
