By a result of McKenzie [4] finite directed graphs that satisfy certain connectivity and thinness conditions have the unique prime factorization property with respect to the cardinal product. We show that this property still holds under weaker connectivity and stronger thinness conditions. Furthermore, for such graphs the factorization can be determined in polynomial time.
