So year, we smaller been typically wise. half terms the revenue the half how of second it the in of see is

to about our XH, We think to between been not of forward. would what one together, for you historical year, we're going that split QX time. probably if see XH, and forward any we that some QX, has that off this looking see continue as I say going trend move don't

XXXX. looking which Jim. at second I half, definitely more do XXXX to and half and expect in similar expand but We half, are to southern we the weight provide hemisphere, expect some would see and to first between least splits our will for second

I'd Yeah, I guess add.

the in has said, race, as expect stronger same was XXXX. first sorted for This been. it though, second so half to in year, half, Kevin the be first the is As us, we half it

However, there an has impact COVID. been of

it. face we've of been in very the successful Although,

I be so going fourth to think And quarter is interesting.

I strong. think end year we're very going the to

just there, if color add a I little marketplace, want, into the wish? happening can if And you what's you

for Just maybe in you one could sort is of refurbished pipeline the cannibalize to if will, respect anything the more with that pipeline, products? there me, current

again, Hi, Kevin Helash. Its Amit. Kevin,

is we So the our about portfolio think let's say. entire evolving, way

what generation into customers to currently with opportunities or geographies. we moving crops new on, II, from see both I expand moving generation are our call moving new call, we as on that we're the to footprint, I, So to crops we the we that have

the show have we today, to when valuation have account. We company. our is as pipeline all So that into revenue, taken we certainly incremental

yes, out we generation of today For net phase example, will if product probably a II seen of But effect create it that you've what that. is the I. generation

the one that generation makes II plus than the is short the answer the yes, to generation standalone, I news is if degree. plus is one I generation bigger good But some So sense.

Yeah.

So, break looking at there's we Kevin stepwise changes I for modes break couple of I it agree - new I one six. generation BioUnite ways, another products, the of outline with you. And kind action. that a pipeline, But second look different alluded their it of one down novel of was also down to I'm in program at that the slide how you me, by and

at generation the look and that protection you for if part the a of second of crop health crop So portfolio. products, this is both
