		BAE Systems remained static at $475 million; Serco Sodexho's defence revenue fell from $150 million to $132 million while Qantas Defence Services' fall from $137 million to $93 million has seen the firm drop out of the Top 10.
		Rounding out this year's Top 10 is Serco Sodexho Defence Services in 9th spot and Saab Systems whose defence revenue has climbed dramatically from $82.4 million to $123 million, putting them into 10th spot for the first time.
		However, the last two defence budgets have seen growing amounts of the capital budget parked well out to the right; it is possible that we will see the consequences of this for the industry in future surveys.
