We are transitioning our focus from research and development to manufacturing, marketing, and installing our systems for utility scale networks. Amonix’s proprietary technology can go into large volume production quicker and with lower capital requirements than any other PV technology. The Company is focused on the large power producers in the Southwestern U.S. In these areas, there is a high level of direct sunlight that maximizes the cost advantages of the Amonix system. Public utility commissions in these areas have mandated a minimum requirement for solar energy production as part of the energy portfolios of the utilities they regulate. The Company has begun to produce modules for public utility companies and plans to continue to penetrate this market over the near term.</p>
