Outlook - The
Company plans to focus maximum resources to achieve success with
Australian utilities, providing the groundwork for success in many
countries with similar needs and power characteristics. The
significant penetration of photovoltaic and other distributed
electric generation sources in many countries throughout the world
are expected to have the effect of accelerating the Company's
penetration into other geographical regions and market segments,
such as commercial establishments. This market-by-market approach,
whereby the Company collects key performance data and gains
enthusiastic and prominent customers, is expected to expand the
Company's sales in the years ahead. The Company has historically
maintained a firm discipline of limiting its expenditures to only
those that contribute to generating new sales orders, including
developing new and refining existing products, and it anticipates
to substantially continue to do so during 2014. In order to do so,
the Company will need to raise additional capital to fund
operations through 2014 and 2015 in order to achieve positive
operating cash. In the past, the Company has primarily raised its
operating capital through debt or equity private placements. The
Company intends to devote resources to expanding its discussions
with potential strategic partners that also provide additional
working capital to the Company.
