“Our vision initially was to be a leader in the fuel cell industry but we have expanded to become a leader in clean energy technologies which now includes solar. We are positioning ourselves to be a leader in both of these industries; however, in the fuel cell business there have been delays in the revenue ramp-up. Although we have the capability to mass-produce our product, the sales that we initially anticipated, are a bit slower than expected. We knew that this was a possibility, which is why we have maintained a high cash balance in order to sustain our business until the industry does kick-off. For the solar business, we recently announced plans to construct polysilicon and solar facilities. Our plans are to fund the construction through customer prepayments and debt.” - Darryl S. Nakamoto
