Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc.
CEO Issues Update Letter to Shareholders
Fellow Shareholders, Subsequent the long haul to secure our
initial Active Level III California Air Resources Board (CARB)
Verifications in the 3rd and 4th quarter
of 2009 for both On-road and Off-road diesel powered vehicle and
equipment applications, the stage was finally set for
ESW to enter into the diesel
emissions retrofit
marketplace providing viable and economic solutions. The
Company’s Therma Cat™ Active Diesel Particulate Filter Plus
system, which we believe is more efficient and cost effective
than current conventional catalytic conversion
systems, has been
installed on everything from school buses, trucks, cranes
and construction equipment to armored vehicles. Further, it is
our view that we have the best CARB Verified Active Level II
Plus system available in the market today, which is echoed by
our growing sales and the ratio of competitive bids we are
winning. In the nine months period that has followed
the final approval in August 2009 great strides have been made
in growing our customer base and development of Therma Cat™
applications. Many of the orders that the company has received
since this time do not warrant individual announcements but
collectively we believe they are significant as our customers
have given exploratory orders to confirm that our products
deliver what the Company states. We anticipate in the 3rd
quarter of 2010 that the early Therma Cat™ orders will
indeed become
significant.
In the interim, the Company is continuing its program of
broadening the scope of the existing Therma Cat™ technology
verifications with CARB to cover a wider demographic of
applications and expects to announce the success of these
ongoing programs when they materialize.
The Company’s Xtrm Cat™ Marine and
Locomotive diesel engine retrofit emissions technology has
continued to prosper in this new and exciting emerging market as
we make inroads and sales of the Xtrm Cat™ into what we believe
are highly visible and significant applications.
In November of 2009 we announced the $2m grant to apply
13 Xtrm Cat’s™ into a fleet of inland marine vessels operating
on the In order to meet the
retrofits industry’s growing demand for technology based on the
ever expanding CARB/EPA regulations; the Company made the
strategic decision to engage with a major Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEM’s) components/systems manufacturer combining
our Therma Cat™ with their OEM based Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)
reduction system. In order to meet the upcoming regulations for
NOx reductions in the retrofit market, a combination of
Particulate Matter (PM) and NOx reductions in one system will be
required. Our Therma Cat™ was chosen by our new partner as the
technology of choice based on the wide demographic of engine
applications we achieved in our CARB Verifications and the
Therma Cat’s™ diversity. We are currently working towards the
launch of a number of high profile demonstrations with CARB of
the combined systems, and are looking forward to announcing the
relationship and the success of this program in the future.
We have seen a substantial increase in our distributor network in the past months across
The first quarter 2010 was in line with
our expectations as production
capacity was being expanded to facilitate the expected sales
volume. Over this period, the Company addressed the lack
of working capital to run sales up to meet customer demand. To
this end, we raised $3m in a private placement and
simultaneously arranged a $4m
rolling credit line with the
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC)
backed by Export Development Canada (EDC). The Company is also
taking the necessary proactive steps to support any future sales
of significant single orders with the support of the CIBC and EDC over and above the
current operating credit line. Subsequent to these events, all
debenture holders have converted their debt into equity reducing
ESW balance sheet debt. I would like to thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support and patience as we have transitioned from a research/Intellectual Property (IP) company into a manufacturing company that has an exciting future in the diesel emissions retrofit market. To this end, I am delighted to report that Q2 2010 is expected to be cash flow positive, and I anticipate continued performance improvement in the second half of the year. It is our view that ESW is in a unique position in the catalytic conversion market. Our CARB/EPA recognized test facility located inIt is at this stage that I would like to
address shareholder value. We believe that the Over The Counter
Bulletin
Board (OTC:BB) no longer meets the requirement of our shareholders
and our growing international Company and is a barrier to new
entrants who would like to participate in our future growth but
will not invest on this platform. The Company’s management and
Board of Directors are presently doing the necessary due
diligence of investigating the options to list ESW on the In January of 2010, we were delighted to announce the appointment of our new Chairman Mr. Elbert O. Hand, who brings to the Board a wealth of corporate knowledge. Furthermore, Mr. Hand brings experience in the ‘Big Board’ public arena that we believe is required at this stage of our development. The Board has also
taken the step of appointing Cameron
Associates to
manage our investor and public relations. This Our technology has the potential for global
reach and in further announcements I expect to clarify our plans
to develop markets outside In summary, we believe
ESW is in a world
leadership technology position in the diesel emissions retrofit
market with applications onto a vast cross section of engines
and platforms. This is a multibillion-dollar
industry; and we
project that over the next few years the Company will be able to
achieve significant inroads into this growth area where emission
regulations and enforcement is on most governments’
agendas. Again thank you for your patience and
support.
