The Company has no revenue earned outside of the United States. The office in Bagh is located in a different territory of Pakistan from the Islamabad office. The Bagh office was opened in 2009 for the purpose of providing operational support and operating as a backup to the Islamabad office. The Company’s office in Poland was opened in 2015 to serve as back-up to the Pakistan offices in addition to performing specialized work.
