of Comex revenues (full year 2009 gross revenues of approximately $4.1
million) and a customer list including such iconic Japanese companies as
Mitsubishi, Honda, Fujitsu, Toshiba, Sony, Japan Rail, the Japan Defense
Force, and others was the culmination of the company’s efforts to

“live time” monitoring of the quantity, quality, and composition of
natural gas intra-pipeline. That contract calls for a minimum

market the WayCool Technology portfolio and has already identified and
introduced several potential partners to the
company.

In
April 2010, the company was able to re-negotiate with IED and two other
“Angel” Investors, allowing it to reduce its debt by another
$7,200,000. IED exchanged the entire convertible (acquisition)
note of $4,900,000 and related accrued interest of $850,500 for 1,000,000
shares of common stock and a one-time $50,000
payment. Additionally, the other two investors converted
approximately $1,500,000 in debt to equity (Press Release dtd: April 20,
2010).
|
|
·
|
After
complicated negotiations with Wells Fargo Capital Finance (NYSE: WFC), in
August 2010, the company was able to transfer its entire banking
relationship, along with its working line-of-credit and term (acquisition)
note to Wells Fargo Capital Finance, bringing it into
compliance with all financial covenants and allowing it to move from a
regional banking relationship to an international banking relationship,
much better equipped to service the company’s ever expanding product line
and customer base (Press Release dtd: August 31, 2010). In
conjunction with this move to Wells Fargo, the company was able to retire
an additional $2,000,000 in debt when five (5) investors agreed to convert
their SBLC’s into equity in the company (Press Release dtd: August 10,
2010).
|

In
August 2010, the company was pleased to report its first net-net
profitable quarter. For the Second Quarter ending June 30,
2010, the company reported consolidated revenues of $10,716,227 (up 77%
year-over-year) and EBITDA of $6,494,479 – EPS of $0.02 per
share. Those numbers represent a 40% quarter-to-quarter
increase in revenues, up from $7,668,805 in the first quarter
2010. This revenue growth and operating profit was accomplished
while the company’s Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”)
expenses were reduced from 41% of total revenue in second quarter 2009 to
29% of total revenue for the second quarter 2010 – a decline of more than
12%. Significantly, the SG&A dropped from 37% of total
revenue in first quarter 2010 to 29% of total revenues in second quarter
2010 – a quarter-to-quarter drop of 8% (Press Release dtd: August 16,
2010).
|
|
·
|
Finally,
and maybe most significantly, in September 2010, the company reached
agreement with IED to reduce its remaining approximately $14,000,000 Term
Note, then due and payable on or before May 15, 2011, to approximately
$10,309,000 and extend the terms of that Note, making it “interest only”
and due and payable on or before May 15, 2018 – transforming it from
short-term debt into long-term debt. In exchange for this
accommodation by IED, the company agreed to pay IED a one-time payment of
$1,500,000 on or before December 1, 2010 (Press Release dtd: September 9,
2010).
