While the concept of their product is good, the product itself I do not believe can be sold. The idea filtering power demands can only be obtained from a larger proprietary level and not by using these truck sized "flywheel" devices that… More

Value story:

Current valuation: about $141mil. = about $1.6 per share

Next milestone: to bring the first two 20MW Frequency Regulation Plants

online by Q408/Q109

Basic Business Model:

- Cost to build 20MW plant: $30mil.

- Annual Earnings per 20 MW plant: $8mil.

- Expected 10-year value (PE=10) per plant: $50mil

- Expected number of plants to be built thru 2010: 8-12

- Expected company value in 2 years PE=10: between $400mil. and $600mil. ($5.6 per share - $8.40 per share)

Additional upsides:

- Market might be growing faster than expected, opening of Canadian- and

South American Markets

- Increased production capacity may increase the number of plants that can

be built per year

- Possible licensing or technology sales to Europe and Asia

- Rising energy prices will drive up the cost of conventional frequency

regulation services increasing operational margins

- Depending on growth rate and size of opportunity valuation multiple could

be larger

- Additional efficiencies of scale will lead to lower costs per plant,

possibly increasing 10-year plant value to $60mil.

Downside risks:

- Possibly ongoing patent issues, maybe settlement needed

- Possible performance, operational problems at the first plant

- Entry of new competitors, or different technology

- Possible overall reduction of market potential because the faster response

provided by the new tech. may reduce the amount of frequency regulation

services actually needed

- Question how additional capital will be raised = possible dilution

Speculative play on a power service company. If their bid to join the NYC grid proves successful, the sky is the limit for this company and its brethren. We don't necessarily need MORE energy, but we do need BETTER energy, and this company's products promise to better regulate the electric grid to prevent surges and drops with an efficiency and speed that present regulators lack. Big things are in store for this company.
