SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA--(Marketwire - June 10, 2011) - Nesscap Energy Inc. ("Nesscap") (TSX VENTURE:NCE), a global leader in research, development and manufacturing of ultracapacitor products, reported its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2011.
Net sales for the three month period increased by 58% to $3.8 million (KRW 4.3 billion), compared to $2.4 million (KRW 2.8 billion) for the same period in 2010. Net loss for the quarter was $2.6 million (KRW 3.0 billion) compared to a loss of $0.92 million (KRW 1.1 billion) for the same period in 2010. This increased net loss for the quarter in 2011 is mainly due to expenses related to the Qualifying Transaction with Asian Resource Global Strategies Inc. through the TSX Venture Exchange CPC program.
"We are excited to see our sales growth continue to increase and the pipeline for orders is growing as we work with clients to develop ultracapacitor products," said Dr. Sunwook Kim, Chief Executive Officer of Nesscap Energy Inc. "The market for ultracapacitors is experiencing strong demand given the diversified applications that they can be utilized in. The result provides end users with solutions to enhance efficiencies while reducing operational costs."
On January 24th, 2011, the Company completed its listing on TSX Venture Exchange and became the first Korean company to trade on one of Canada's leading exchanges. To celebrate the listing, Nesscap Energy was invited to open trading on April 6th this year.
During the quarter, the Company announced an agreement to supply ultracapacitors valued at USD $3.2 million to Trainelec, a subsidiary of CAF, a railway vehicle manufacturer based in Spain. Nesscap's ultracapacitors will be used in trams serving major cities in Spain and will enable light rail vehicles or trams to travel without overhead power lines or catenary power. The ultracapacitors capture braking energy when the tram stops and will fully charge in about 25 seconds. The charged ultracapacitors provide enough energy for the vehicle to reach the next stop on the route. The agreement follows previous orders stemming from a development contract with CAF in early 2007.
