Dear Shareholder:
The third quarter was an extremely busy time for ESW. We committed to a number
of significant projects involving extensive research and development,
tight timelines and associated costs. We have been tasked by our partners
and customers to develop solutions to a myriad of opportunities for On-Road,
Off-Road and Military programs. We have also begun to test other companies’
new products for the potential of our group licensing their technologies
to broaden our product offerings. I am pleased to report that our teams
have once again stepped up to the challenge with the energy we believe
is required to deliver the necessary results.
Our portfolio of sales opportunities for our proprietary products and
services continues to expand and grow within our industry. We believe
a number of important events have taken place since the start of our third
quarter. Our wholly owned subsidiary, ESW Canada Inc. (ESWC), signed an
Emissions Control & Technologies Provider and Cooperation agreement
with International Truck and Engine Corporation (International), the operating
company of Navistar International Corporation (NYSE:NAV)
We have also been working with International’s “Green Diesel
Technology” retrofit group to verify our Clean Cat™ Level
I High Performance Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (HP-DOC) and Therma Cat™
Active Level III catalytic converter technologies. These products are
currently in the process required to verify their performance by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB). When
complete, these new International branded diesel catalytic converters
will be marketed by the Green Diesel Technology” division and sold
and installed by International’s global dealer network.
The significance of this program is the fact that the successful completion
of these verifications will mark the first time in International’s
history that the company will take a “Green Diesel Technology”
branded retrofit catalytic converter technology to the market. In order
for this millstone event to take place, we have incurred increased R&D
costs in the third quarter due to the expedited timelines required to
bring this events to fruition.
We have also increased our R&D budgets in the locomotive / marine
engine catalyst sector. The results of this increase in our efforts is
evident in that ESWC was chosen and listed as a consortium member with
the GE Canada group for participation in a funded demonstration of advanced
catalyst and systems. We believe the opportunity to showcase our proprietary
technologies with GE in this type of high exposure program has the potential
to lead to future sales in a soon to be regulated sector of the industry.
We have also expanded our R&D in connection with military projects
in a number of engineered prototyping, testing and demonstration programs.
. We believe these important engineered prototyping, testing and demonstration
programs are of great significance, falling in line with the military’s
requirements to increase survivability within the military fleet of vehicles.
Late in the third quarter, we opened our EPA / CARB recognized emissions
testing facility ESW America (ESWA) / Air Testing Service (ATS) as a full
service contract test facility. Since that time, we have given a number
of quotes to companies interested in verifying their technologies and
engines for the North American market. We successfully concluded a comprehensive
contract of catalytic aftertreatment device testing with our newest customer
Johnson Matthey (JM). JM stated their pleasure for the professionalism
and speed of the work performed by our team at ESWA- ATS.
We believe these intensive programs continue to test and showcase our
technologies, engineering capabilities and team of dedicated employees.
We anticipate that with successful completion, these opportunities may
mature into solid sales and distribution.
