Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
(Operator Instructions). Our first question comes from the line of Greg Mesniaeff with Needham and Company.
Unidentified Analyst
This is (inaudible) calling in for Greg. My first question is if you could comment maybe a little bit more on the government business and order push-out you saw during the quarter, you kind of went quickly over that on the call. I'm wondering if you could just kind of maybe say it again what caused the order push-outs and what's factored into your Q3 guidance.
Nick Keating
That order that was pushed out is not factored into our Q3 guidance. As John said, as some of these rollout, then that could change the nature of the guidance that we gave you. That was an order for one of the DoD agencies. It was approved. We had the bill out. We had built the product. The order was put on hold right at the end of the quarter because the customer was concerned about their priorities and their lack of budget for the new fiscal year.
Since then we've had a small release, just a fraction of that order, and we've not been able to determine with the customer that we're selling through a systems integrator whether that will get released this quarter or whether it will be held longer. So that was a direct example of the end user being concerned about their source of funds until they could get better visibility on what their new budget would look like.
There are a number of programs out there that we've identified that if they got released would certainly improve the quarter's performance. At this point, it would be pure speculation on our part to determine when that's going to happen. We've also seen some opportunities for our release of IP secure voice for the BX using the V.150 and MLPP technology. We've seen one customer place some small orders. We know that they have requirements to deploy these throughout their offices around the world.
Again, whether that's budget-related or simply that they need to go through more certifications, but that follow-on release could be a couple million dollars and we have no visibility at this point when it could be released. So we're in kind of a wait-and-hold mode. The same is the case with the MoD. I mentioned earlier this fact that as the UK Ministry of Defense pulled out of the Balkans and Iraq, they had over equipment that had been deployed, they brought it back, they don't know what condition its in, whether it could be upgraded or whether its scrapped. We had new programs that we were expecting this quarter and those were put on hold until they could do their assessment of the over deployed systems.
