Guidance

The Company expects to exit nearly all non-core product and service revenue by the end of the third quarter, and that non-core revenue will not be material thereafter. While encouraged by the second quarter's core revenue growth, the Company continues to have low visibility into future revenues due to the uncertain economic environment, and is not currently issuing future revenue guidance as a result.
