(13) ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY:

A major customer is defined as a customer from which the Company derives at least 10% of its revenues. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, revenue from the U.S. Government accounted, either directly or in-directly, for 100% and 98%, respectively, of total revenue. No single service or contract accounted for more than 50% of the total revenue during fiscal 2011, with logistics services being the largest at 50%. Within the U.S. Government, our largest customer in fiscal 2011 continued to be the DVA, accounting for 94% of revenue in fiscal 2011 and 95% in fiscal 2010, with whom the Company held over a dozen contracts and/or task orders for logistics, pharmaceutical, and medical services, all subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations. As further discussed below, during fiscal 2011, the Company was awarded work totaling up to approximately $150 million (unaudited) for pharmaceutical and other medical services during a period of up to five years (increased subsequently to up to approximately $155 million (unaudited)) which will both retain and expand its business with the DVA. Accordingly, DLH Solutions remains particularly dependent on the continuation of its relationship with the DVA.

The largest component of the awards discussed above comprised the award in May 2011 to DLH Solutions of a competitively bid Blanket Purchase Agreement contract with the DVA for pharmaceutical services which retains and expands work that accounted for approximately 45% of revenues for fiscal 2011. Work under the new contract began on November 1, 2011 and is expected to continue for up to 5 years and generate revenue of up to approximately $145 million (unaudited). The Company also was awarded a contract in September 2011 to provide other medical services to the DVA of up to approximately $10 million (unaudited) over five years. In addition, the Company also provides further services to the DVA under contracts which accounted for approximately 50% of revenues for fiscal 2011, which currently expire on December 31, 2011, in respect of which no request for proposals have yet been invited. Accordingly, the Company has in the past, and anticipates in the future, receiving sole source extensions of this work for an additional period of time. While the Company believes it is well positioned to continue its relationship with the DVA, no assurances can be given that the DVA would further extend our current orders for the provision of services, that we would be successful in any bid for new contracts to provide such services or that if we are granted subsequent orders, that such orders would be of a scope comparable to the services that we have provided to date. If the DVA does not further extend our current service contracts or we are not successful in our efforts to obtain contract awards pursuant to either the current or new solicitations for the provision of such services, our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition would be materially adversely affected. However, in such circumstances, the Company may be able to avail itself of a right to continue for an additional period beyond the expiration date as part of any protest filed by an interested party.

Accounts receivable from agencies of the United States Government totaled $11.1 million and $11.3 million at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, of which $1.2 million and $1.0 million was unbilled at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, as discussed in Note 9, included in revenue derived from the Federal government in 2008 were retroactive adjustments that totaled $10.8 million; $9.3 million of this amount is included in accounts receivable (unbilled) at September 30, 2011 and 2010. Such revenue is not expected to recur in future periods.
