Management commentary:
"Although interest remains strong, many of the prospects in our pipeline continue to balance their operational needs and issues due to COVID with their ability to embrace the transformational requirements of MERLIN," said Memex CEO David McPhail. "Several prospects have limited operations at the moment, and many have only given essential staff access to their facilities, delaying some of Memex's demonstrations and installations for the moment. All in all, though, we have continued to deliver on our current backlog, giving us the ability to get back to more consistent operations."
