Millennium Minerals Rides The Resurgent Gold Wave 0 commentsJul 23, 2013 9:45 PM
Millennium Minerals (ASX: MOY) shares have soared 64% in a little over three weeks to close at $0.018 on Tuesday 23rd July.
Driving the gold producers share price higher is the external factors of a rebounding gold price which is further supported by a falling Australian dollar.
Millennium also delivered a compelling set of production numbers for the June quarter 2013 from the Nullagine Gold Project in Western Australia, which included the sustaining operating costs for the period of $938 per ounce (includes site cash costs, royalties, corporate expenses and site sustaining capital).
The company generated EBITDA of $12.1 million from gold production for the June quarter, as C1 unit cash costs came in below budget for the period at $761 per fine ounce poured, 9% lower than the March quarter ($826 per ounce).
Importantly Nullagine achieved budgeted gold output for the quarter producing 16,441 fine ounces of gold in line with the budget of 16,661 ounces from 19,704 ounces doré. Milled ore tonnage was 373,449 tonnes, up 8% from the previous quarter.
Forward Guidance
Millennium has provided base case gold production planning for FY2013 (December 2013) is indicating an operating forecast at design throughput rates of 1.5 million tonnes milled to yield 78,000 ounces.
The production plan indicates higher gold output in the second half of calendar 2013 arising from commencement of mining at the higher grade Golden Gate deposits. Pre-mining activities have commenced at Golden Gate in preparation for grade control drilling.
ABC and D Reefs will be the focus of mining operations at Golden Gate with ore mining due to commence late in the September quarter.
Ore will be mined and then trucked to the Golden Eagle processing facility for treatment during the December quarter.
The Ore Reserve at ABC and D Reefs has been estimated to be 0.46 million tonnes at 3.4g/t gold for 51,000 ounces contained gold.
Projected C1 unit cash costs for the FY2013 year are forecast at $829 per ounce and sustaining cash costs (including site cash costs, royalties, corporate expenses and site sustaining capital) at $964 per ounce produced.

As announced today (June 12), Paul Brandt is one of the four new names added to the CCMA Awards line up. Taking place on September 9, he joins the likes of Deric Ruttan, Miranda Lambert, Johnny Reid and Eric Church performing in Saskatoon - and it's all live on CBC.
We got the chance to speak with Paul about his new record, performing at the CCMAs, growing up in Alberta, what inspires his music and more. Check it out:
CBC Live: Give It Away was released in September, how are things working out?
Paul Brandt: You know, it went really well. We were actually on tour for forty dates supporting it across the country and it came as a real lift in the middle of that tour to get the nod from iTunes as Country Album of the Year. Since leaving the label in Nashville and starting my own label [Brand-T], every album that we've put out has won an Album of the Year award, it worked out perfectly to see that happen. The fans seem to really be getting in to it. It's been a lot of fun.
You've already won thirteen CCMA Awards, but I'm guessing the thrill doesn't ever dull?
PB: The thrill's always there. It's always very exciting to know that the people who are voting and the people in the industry are tipping their hats to what you're doing. It doesn't really ever get old. I find the longer that I'm in the music business the more and more I realise how important it is for me to do my music because it's what I'm inspired to do and not for any other reasons. It sure does feel nice when people notice what you're doing.
You'll be performing this year as well, does that make it even more special?
PB: Yeah, you know, CCMA week, for me anyway, is one of the most fun weeks of the year. It's a chance to get to see all the people that are in the industry that I haven't seen for a while. We're all out on the road in different places. For that brief moment everybody's under the same roof and it's just a great time to catch up, to see what everybody's up to. Not only musically, but in their personal lives. It has a sort of a down home feel to it so I'm really looking forward to it, it's going to be great to be out in Saskatchewan. It's been a while since we've been out there. It's a highlight of my year every single year.
Is there anyone you're looking forward to seeing in particular?
PB: It's just a lot of fun to get to see everybody. We'll have some catching up to do with the guys from High Valley. They were out on the road with us on this last tour. We had a lot of great times right across the country.They've got a new album that they've just launched and it'll be nice to see how things are going for them.
At the CCMA Awards there seems to be a of history of acts performing together. Is there anyone you'd like to perform with?
PB: I don't know... I'm just trying to think if we've ever done any performing with anybody. You know, we're on a new album right now and it's gonna be coming in fall of this year. We had a number of guest artists come and be a part of that project. Patty Loveless and John Anderson, Ricky Skaggs, the guys from High Valley were on it and a couple of gospel groups, The Whites and The Isaacs. A lot of people will know The Whites from the Grand Ole Opry. It really gave me a great opportunity to perform alongside some of my favourites in the industry. We also had Dan Tyminski from Union Station, Alison Krauss' band. It would be really cool if our performance was able to incorporate one or some of them in some way and maybe I'll work towards that. I don't really have anything completely locked down on what the performance will be. Yeah, collaborating is always a lot of fun especially when you get to do it on a stage like that.
It's a very quick turnaround from Give It Away to the new record, just a year?
PB: Yeah, that was part of the plan when we were recording. We wanted to finish up with the tour and then come with new music again right away. It's a celebration right now for us, just looking at the last fifteen, sixteen years of being in the music industry, all of those albums winning Album of the Year awards, and then also the release of our boxset [Now]. Without dwelling on the past, it was sort of a look back at the things that have happened to this point and an exciting look to the future. I was really inspired to get into the studio and do a lot of music. We actually recorded tracks - on both of these albums - in the same timeframe down in Nashville. I can't wait to share this new music with people. We'll probably be hitting the road here again in the fall to share this new music and it just seems like, now, more than ever, the music industry is not necessarily about project, to project, to project. It's just about doing music and getting it out there and letting people know about what you're doing, being out on the road, and performing the songs for people. It used to be that you had to set up an album, get everything perfect and then go and do it. More often than not, I find, now, it's just one continuous project and we're always out there doing the thing that we love to do the most.
Is there one aspect of the 'job' you love the most?
PB: I wish that I could pick just one thing that I love the most about being in music, there's a lot of different sides to the behind the scenes of what we do. If I had to pick a favourite it probably would be writing. I just really love... just that time of being, you know, contemplative. Really trying to figure out something that I can put into a song that's going to inspire somebody or maybe change the way they look at things or help them to escape in some way. I think that's probably my favourite. The place where it all comes together though is on stage. I love being on the road with the band. There's nothing like that feeling when you look out into the audience and you see somebody looking you in the eye and nodding their heads. You know they understand what you're trying to say in that song and they're singing along or they're wiping a tear away... I think that's the thing that keeps me coming back time and time again, just getting to be up there and inspire people. And hanging out, just to be a part of it, you know? It becomes sort of a mutual interaction. There's something really special about that.
You inspire a lot of people, but what inspires you?
PB: I don't know if it was Reba [McEntire] that coined the phrase or not, but I heard her say one time that "the best songwriters are people who are great observers of life." You never really know where a song or an inspiration might come from. You just have to kind of be expectantly aware and looking around you. These days, the places where inspiration are coming from are being a father, getting to see my kids grow and learn and just experience this great world... I think about trips that we've taken around the world to places like Ethiopia, Malawi and Cambodia this past couple of years, working on a television series we did called Build it Forward. We took families to Haiti and to Mexico to work on projects for less fortunate people there, and those kind of things really inspire me. We have a foundation that we work a lot with now. When I can be up on stage and know that portions of proceeds from everything we do go to making people's lives better around the world - that's really inspiring to me. I think even more than the music and the interaction with people - which is enough to get me coming back - it's really something that puts the wind in my sail. I'm looking at life right now, looking at things that are going on and I really can't imagine it getting any better. We're having a lot of fun.
Tell us more about the new record, will we hear more songs inspired by your travels?
PB: Actually, it's going to be a bit of a journey in to my past. When I was six years old I was going to a small church in Calgary, until I was probably about eleven or twelve, and there were about seventy-five people that went to this church. All the music was a capella and it was all old traditional hymns like Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art and The Old Rugged Cross, songs like that. People who knew or grew up around the church will probably recognise some of those names. I've always wanted to do an album that gave people a bit of a glimpse in to that part of my life and where my love for music really came from. We went and recorded a bunch of those songs and we have these guest artists on as well. It's more of a bluegrass approach to my music and very traditional sounding from a country stand point. That was really fun for me 'cause I think the last three or four albums that we've done have been closer to the pop rock side of things. It's been a neat departure artistically and creatively for me musically and just from a personal and spiritual standpoint, it's an exciting thing for me to be able to put this most important part of my life into a recording that I get to share with people. It's going to be fun. We just got the mastering done last week so I'm itching to start sharing it with people.
Will you be playing some of those records at the CCMA Awards?
PB: I would imagine, yeah. I think that we'll probably be introducing some of that music at CCMA time. It'll be September, we'll be gearing up for a tour this fall as well. I can't wait to not only play some of the stuff that people were really responding to like Together Again and Give it Away and You and those songs that were on the Give it Away album, but to introduce them to some of this new music that we've just recorded as well.
Am I right in thinking that you've spent pretty much your whole life in Alberta?
PB: Yeah, I grew up in Alberta. I was here until I was twenty-three and then I moved to Nashville for nine years. We're still heading back and forth between here and Nashville quite a bit. We don't have a place there right now but we were thinking about maybe getting a place again and spending a bit more time there. We just love Alberta and really want this to be where our roots are now that we've started our family. Joe's four and Lily is eighteen months old... we kind of feel like we want to share that part of our lives with them too. My place is kind of in the foothills of the mountains, just looking out towards the Rockies. Our families are all here, you know? It's really, for us, the best place in the world after all the travelling that we've done. I used to think that I wanted to live in Alberta just because I was homesick, but I've really had the opportunity to see that it's one of the best places that you can live and we love it a lot. We've been here for the last five years, I've spent the majority of my life here.
You can follow Paul Brandt on Twitter, and be sure to follow us here at CBC Live, CBC Music and the Canadian Country Music Association.
The CCMA Awards will be broadcast live on CBC on September 9 from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Listeners are directed to read the company's cautionary statement on forward-looking information and other risk factors in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Now, I'll turn the call over to Dan Brdar. Dan.
Daniel Brdar
Thank you, Lisa and thank you everyone for joining us this morning. Worldwide demand for clean energy is growing as policy makers seek out better and more effective energy solutions that will drive global economies in the 21 century. As the world leading provider of ultra-clean highly efficient fuel cells, FuelCell Energy's fourth quarter and 2009 accomplishments, position us well to capitalize on global demand and grow our company.
FuelCell Energy has the first move our opportunity to capture global demand for fuel cell power. We offered the only commercial megawatt class fuel cells for ultra-clean based load distributed generation. In 2009, we began producing our new lower cost megawatt-class products resulting in better product margins. This is an important milestone in our ongoing cost reduction program, which is cut product cost by more than half over the last several years.
In addition, we concluded a key licensing agreement with our partner POSCO Power. The agreement will expand the total production capacity of our products, contribute the further cost reduction and support the continued expansion of our fastest growing market South Korea. I'll get into what we were accomplish with our products and the market opportunities that will take us to profitability in further detail, after Joe Mahler, our Chief Financial Officer reviews the financials. Joe.
Joseph Mahler
Thank you, Dan and good morning everyone. We reported total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2009, $20.4 million compared to $26.2 million in the same period last year. Product sales and revenues in the fourth quarter were $16.7 million compared to $23.3 million in the prior year quarter. Lower product revenues resulted from decrease U.S. market activity due to difficult credit markets that were offset by sales to POSCO Power.
Research and development contract revenue was $3.7 million, compared to $2.8 million in the prior year quarter. Higher research and development contract revenue was attributable to increased activity on the company's solid oxide fuel cell development contract with U.S. Department of Energy. The product cost-to-revenue ratio was 1.40-to-1 compared to 1.54-to-1 in the fourth quarter of 2008.
The cost-to-revenue ratio improved due to lower product cost that resulted in higher product margins compared to the prior year. FuelCell Energy began producing its new lower cost megawatt-class products in the latter half of 2009. The cost ratio was impacted by higher cost to complete the commissioning of the first multi-megawatt power plants in South Korea.
Net loss to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2009 improved 33% year-over-year to $16.2 million or $0.21 per basic and diluted share from a net loss to common shareholders of $24.3 million or $0.35 per basic and diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2008. Net losses declined primarily due to the sales of higher margin products.
Turing to full year operating results, for the year ended October 31, FuelCell Energy revenues were $88 million compared to $100 million reported in 2008. Product sales and revenues were $73.8 million in 2009, compared to $82.7 million in 2008. While sales dollars were down, which is what you might expect in a tough environment, the actual megawatts of product sold in the year increased.
As planned, sales to POSCO, transitioned from full powered plants to modules reducing the sales dollar per megawatt. FuelCell Energy's product backlog including long term service agreements was $90.7 million compared to last year's $87.6 million reflecting continued strong orders from South Korea.
Research and development contract revenues were $14.2 million, compared to $18 million research and development contract backlog was $14.2 million as of October 31, compared to $4.8 million on October 31, 2008. The product cost of revenue ratio improved 10% to 1.45 in the 2009 compared to 1.62 in 2008.
Net loss to common shareholders were $72 million, or $1 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss to common shareholders of $96.6 million, or $1.41 million per basic and diluted share, primarily due to lower product costs compared to the prior year.
We ended fiscal 2009 with total cash and investments with $64.8 million, cash increased in the fourth quarter by $11.8 million as POSCO Power paid in upfront licensing fee of $10 million and invested in $25 million in FuelCell Energy common stock. Excluding these transactions, net cash used is $23.2 million, compared to $17.5 million in the prior year quarter.
Cash used in the 2009 quarter, was impacted by longer than anticipating commissioning for the even it's in South Korea, which delayed customer milestone payments. Commissioning for these units was completed by the end of the fourth quarter. Capital spending for the 2009 fourth quarter was approximately $0.5 million and depreciation expense was $2 million.
During the fiscal year 2009, the company's cash use was impacted by the credit crisis in U.S. as well as the working capital impact as a want commissioning cycle Korea. The company did respond to these issues by cutting costs early in the year through a reduction in workforce and other cost reduction. Also we've raised $22.5 million of cash in June to a registered direct offering and $35 million in October from the POSCO transactions.
With the POSCO commissioning issues behind us and project financing activities showing some signs of improvement in U.S., we expect cash used to be reduced to a more normalized range of $10 million to $12 million per quarter in fiscal 2010, contribution margin from additional order flow and production could drive even better quarterly results towards the later part of the year.
Capital spending will be similar as 2009, our annual maintenance in cost reduction in CapEx requirements are range approximately from $3 million to $4 million. This past year, the credit crisis delayed orders in the U.S. for clean energy products. We will continue to work these markets to close our immediate opportunities in Connecticut and California, we are optimistic that 2010 will bring credit market back to normal fee and enable U.S. market. Dan.
Daniel Brdar
Thanks, Joe. FuelCell Energy's past in profitability is based on two primary drivers. Progressively driving down our product cost and increasing order flow in our key markets. FuelCell Energy has a successful track record reducing product cost through value engineering, manufacturing improvements and engineering and technology improvements to increase stock power output life and system efficiency.
Since beginning our cost reduction program on our commercial megawatt class products, we've achieved a 40% increase in power output and more than 50% reduction in unit cost. The most recent design of our cost reduced megawatt products went into production over this year and we expect these products to be gross margin profitable. This is an important milestone for us, because these products together with increased manufacturing volume will move us to profitability.
As we increased our production volume, we anticipate being able to continue to reduce product cost. Increased volume enabled several areas of continued cost reduction including an expanded global sourcing program, larger volume purchases, more competition among our suppliers, increased utilization of factory capacity, an increased productivity in automation in our facilities and our supply chain.
In addition, increasing power output and stock life of our core cell technology continues to be the focus of our research and development efforts. Increased orders from our target markets are key to our profitability. In many regions around the world, there's a growing adoption of clean at low carbon technologies.
Countries are also looking to green technologies as a way to turnaround their economies. This intension to clean energy technologies is driving policy in places like South Korea and more recently the U.S. South Korea's low carbon green tech energy policy, continues to be a driver for fuel cells in this part of Asia.
The South Korean government intends to spend more than 2% of the countries gross national product, roughly $86 billion to fill their national renewal portfolio standard. This standard is expected to pass into law in the coming months and we'd require 4.3% of the country's electric power to be generated using clean energy technologies by 2015, roughly about 2,800 megawatts and fully 11% by 2030 over 7,000 megawatts.
Stationary fuel cells, operating our natural gas are expected to be included in the program and our product should be well positioned to contribute significantly to this goal. The Korean government's proposed energy policy is an example of this strategy to meet both the countries domestic in energy objectives and to create a green technology industrial base that will become the foundation for a global export market.
POSCO continues to advances its plans to build out the stationary fuel cell market in South Korea. During the quarter, we concluded a new long term licensing and manufacturing agreement enabling POSCO Power to assemble, test and condition fuel cells stack modules using components manufactured and supplied by FuelCell Energy.
POSCO Power will combine the stack modules with relative plant equipment manufactured in South Korea to produce FuelCell Power plants for sale in that country. As part of the new license, POSCO paid an upfront license fee of $10 million and we'll pay an ongoing royalty of 4.1%. The license is consistent with FuelCell Energy strategy of locating certain power plant production activities close to the end user market, while ramping up cell production in our facilities.
POSCO will expand a new facility in Pohang that was commissioned last year for Electrical Balance of Plant production to accommodate the production of fuel cell modules. The expanded facility is expected to be operational late next year. In addition, POSCO Power closed on its previously announced purchase of $25 million of FuelCell Energy common stock further demonstrating its commitment to working closely with us.
Localizing fuel cell module assembling conditioning as important benefits for both parties, it allows POSCO Power more domestic content supporting their work with the South Korean government to pass enabling legislation. It also drives increased demand for cell components from FuelCell Energy's factory here in Connecticut.
As a result of the new license, we can continue to reduce product cost for the Asian market as a result of lower shipping cost, import duties and taxes. It also effectively expands our collective production capacity, since POSCO's new facility will relieve one of the primary production constrains at FuelCell Energy's existing production lines.
Our first 23 megawatts of megawatt-class plants were successfully commissioned in South Korea. As we described in last quarters conference call, the simultaneous startup of several multi-megawatt units presented challenges in both insulation and balance of planning equipment issues that let to delays. These first of a kind challenges are now behind us and the world largest installed fleet of multi-megawatt-class fuel cells is in operation.
We continue to work closely with POSCO, and their customers and installers to ensure that future project insulations go with smoothly as they do here in U.S. POSCO Power has proven to be an excellent partner for South Korea and we'll continue to build our business together to capture the growing opportunity in Korea and other parts of Asia.
In North America, we're in the midst of the period, where the benefits of stationary fuel cells are becoming more widely recognized. This is being helped by the growing focus on energy efficiency as the cost effective way to reduce carbon emission and extant the useful life of available fuel resources.
In addition, natural gas is increasingly becoming part of the policy debate due to significantly expanded production in the U.S. We now had greater than a 100 year supply of natural gas at our current rate of consumption, our cleanest domestic fuel. Using this abundant clean domestic resource in our fuel cells make sound energy in environmental policy, since our products have the highest electrical efficiency in their size range and produced virtually no NOx, SOx or particular matter.
Additionally, Congress are seeing solutions to address environmental problem, they could result in an NG bill beneficial for fuel cells. Their actions could result in a National Renewal Energy Standard at federal RPF. In longer term, the implementation of cap-and-trade policies and now, the Environmental Protection Agency has signaled their intent to issue new carbon dioxide regulations. This heightened intention to the need for clean energy solutions should prove beneficial to our company given our products a mere emission at high efficiency.
California has always done on the leading edge of clean technology adoption and it's our second biggest market after South Korea. Our sales pipeline in California continues to grow and we're working to close orders as evidenced by the recent wastewater treatment plant order for our fourth unit.
Work closure from our California project opportunities were significantly impacted during the year as our partners and end users dealt with the lack of available financing for all types of power generation projects. We're beginning this deed of return of traditional project financing in some parts of the power generation, but to slow process. In addition, many of our potential customers are municipal wastewater treatment facilities.
Many municipalities are going through a review with their capital budget plans to light of reduced tax revenues. Our projects were expected to fare well on these reviews due to the strong financial incentives from programs like California's self generation incentive program. In support of these opportunities, California again demonstrated its commitment to reducing green house gases and encouraging clean distributor generation, by extending its self generation incentive program to 2015.
Under this program, qualifying fuel cell projects of up to three megawatts are eligible for incentive of up to $4,500 per kilowatt when operating on biogas and up to $2,500 per kilowatt on natural gas. Currently, there was about $200 million in the program an ongoing funding is expected to be roughly $83 million annually. The plant capital projects likewise what the treatment plants now have the certainty that they need in the SGIP, knowing that will be available for several more years.
California also enacted two new feed-in tariffs, one for combined heat and power, which are fuel cell projects would qualify. The second was a renewal feed-in tariff, signed by the Governor Schwarzenegger in October. Once the feed-in tariff rates were set, they will enable power producers to export excess electricity back into the grid. The feed-in tariffs could make it more economically attractive to generate power using fuel cells and lead to wider deployment.
The California Public Utility Commission is currently working to set pricing for these tariffs and we're look forward to their ruling. In April, Connecticut's Department of Public Utility Control approved 27.3 megawatts of FuelCell Energy projects under the states renewable portfolio standard for a total of 43.5 megawatts of projects approved today.
Although economic conditions have made this default to obtain financing for all kind of capital projects, we're working with our projects developers on private and public funding. In parallel to our efforts to secure traditional project financing, we're submitting applications for the $6 billion DOE loan guarantee program and we expect to be notified in early 2010.
Canada is another developing market for our products. This past September, the Ontario Government ruled the gas distribution companies such as our partner Enbridge may own and operate power plants to generate both electricity and heat including fuel cells operating on natural gas up to 10 megawatts per facility.
This is an essential step toward the deployment of the DFC-ERG for pipeline applications in the province. The Ontario Government is also expected to establish to revise feed-in tariffs to encourage the insulation of clean energy generation that would include stationary fuel cells.
Turning to Europe, our license with our partner MTU Onsite Energy will end later this month. Europe is been a leader and its commitment an aggressive adoption of new clean energy technologies and its largely untapped market for our products. While countries such as Spain in Germany have installed a large capacity of intermit generation like wind and solar, they are lagging the ultra-clean base load solution that our products provide.
We are currently in discussion with potential partners. Due to the diverse nature of the European market and the difficulty of anyone company to be successful and such a diverse region we expect to end up with more than one partner to pursue the various vertical and geographic market opportunities. We have arrived an important juncture in our company's evolution.
To date our focus was on capturing geographic markets. The Korean market uses fuel cells and grid support, the California market as been using fuel cells for onsite distributed generation and Connecticut is using fuel cell to satisfy its renewable portfolio standard requirements. As a result of numerous successful installations our products are beginning to attract vertical markets with low cost fuel and renewable status.
Fuel cells operating on biogas are attracting worldwide interest. Our DFC-ERG is attracting global interest as it can improve the pipeline let down process. The wastewater treatment market which utilizes renewable fuel as immediate global potential, we established solid reputation in California at these facilities with approximately 40% of our insulation running on biogas produce by the wastewater process.
They repeat order from to large wastewaters speaks to our customer satisfaction with our products ability to provide a superior solution. Our units reduce emissions, carbon dioxide and cost. The heat from our power plant is used in the anaerobic digester, so in addition to saving on electricity cost, customers save on fuel cost. This type of combine heat and power application can yield up to 90% efficiencies. Our DFC-ERG system developed with our partner Enbridge is specifically designed for natural gas pressure letdown stations.
Natural gas is piped under high pressure over long distances and the pressure must be reduced at letdown stations before can be distributed locally. Consequently, almost every pressure letdown station worldwide is a potential for our DFC-ERG and which our fuel cell is coupled with a turbo expander. The resulting electrical efficiency is typically 60%, nearly twice the U.S. grid and higher than other distributor generation auctions.
Our first DFC-ERG power plant went into operation in Ontario throughout the last year and forward DFC-ERG power plants were approved by the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control. The market has been estimated at 250 megawatts to 350 megawatts in just to Northeastern U.S., Northern California and Toronto. Our longstanding relationship with U.S. government is also generating new business.
During the fourth quarter, we've received an award from the Department of Energy for $1.9 million for development of a micro channel high temperature recoup rater. We also received an award from the Department of Defense for $1.5 million to continued development of our Electrochemical Hydrogen Separator or EHS. This award contributes due our hydrogen co-production product, which integrates an EHS system with the fuel cell power plant.
In January, we announce that Department of Energy awarded FuelCell Energy at $30.2 million contract for Phase II of a 10 year program, dedicated to developing megawatt class; coal based solid oxide and fuel cell power plants. During 2009, we met all of our interim program milestones for technical performance and cost.
FuelCell Energy's unique value proposition is both compelling and timely. Our FuelCells are at large scale ultra clean and highly efficient continues power generation technology. These really available fuels, such as natural gas and biogas, our fuel cells deal with solar, wind and other intermitting technologies cannot do; and FuelCell Energy is the only company today with commercially available megawatt fuel cells that this critical clean energy need.
In summary, while 2009 was a challenging year for everyone due to the global economy. We ended our fiscal year with a solid balance sheet, a new licensing agreement with our South Korean partner, a new cost reduced products in production, strong order backlog and a growing domestic and international sales pipeline. As we entered 2010, we solely position to capture a unique position in the global energy marketplace and continue on our past to profitability.
Operator, at this time we'd like to take some questions from our audience.
Question-and-Answer Session
(Operator Instructions) Your first question comes from Burt Chao - Simmons & Co.
Burt Chao - Simmons & Co.
First question it just basically on backlog currently and in kind of looking backwards in doors. Can you details on the code shipments, the moment in backlog whether the shipments the POSCO or shipments to kind of outside of POSCO, customers and kind of just give color on held the backlog moved in the quarter?
Daniel Brdar
We started the quarter with 44 megawatts of backlog and we shift unit to was actually to California customer was 300 kilowatt, so actually end up the backlog at the end of October with 44 megawatts. When we were going through the commissioning issue with the Koreans one of the impacts of that is that we delayed some shipments to the Koreans until all the commissioning issues were settled, so it's actually little bit of lot jam of shipments there are moving in the first quarter of 2010 at this point.
Burt Chao - Simmons & Co.
So, those would be primarily to past the Korean customers at that point?
Daniel Brdar
Yes, we have resumed all shipments to POSCO at this point.
Burt Chao - Simmons & Co.
To congratulations on sign you are finalizing that agreement in POSCO's obviously very important partner with you guys. Going forward however you mentioned all these other markets, kind of looking mid terms and maybe even longer terms. How do you see the backlog developing or maybe even to shipments developing. Do you anticipate POSCO being, vast majority for awhile or do you anticipate that kind of smoothing out to maybe did not taking as much as you grow in to these new markets.
Daniel Brdar
Well, I think as you look at what's already in backlog for 2010 POSCO will remain a pretty significant amount of what we are going to shipping, but as we start to open up European market and as we see the US markets come back to order flow, we are going to see that balance.
Then I think we are going to continue to see the Korean market probably go more quickly then the other markets because there are looking at this national energy policy to looks like its going to drive a lot of volume so they will continue to be significant part of our business but we would expect to see the percentage of what we ship to them come down overtime.
Burt Chao - Simmons & Co.
The cost of revenue ratio obviously is zero; I guess quarter-over-quarter but down very attractively year-over-year and looking forward it kind of maybe for 2010 guidance? What do you expect that to be when you exit the year?
Joseph Mahler
It's not too similar from what I am said in previous calls, we see the product is on target for cost reduction, so we are looking to get 10% to 15% margins. So we would expect to be below one on product cost and we still have the trailing, these other cost that come through, trailing service cost. In '09, we had additional commissioning cost in Korea, when those range somewhere 20 to 30 points. So if you add that, let's say, you started that 0.9 or 0.1, you're basically 120, 130, something in that range.
Your next question comes from Meghan Moreland - Ardour Capital.
Meghan Moreland - Ardour Capital
Could you give a little more detail on the issues with the commissioning? It's news to me that there were issues just exactly what happened and how it's sounds like you perhaps this reverse at the end of 4Q and maybe going forward in 2010, that would not be an issue, just some more color there?
Daniel Brdar
We talked a little bit about last quarter, but it comes down to two things. One is, if you think about installing multi-megawatt power plants, this is a product that is new for POSCO Power. It's new for the companies that would be installing it in the marketplace in Korea. So we saw some problems with the installations. They would think that hadn't down correctly, in terms of how units one installed.
Then we had some components in our Electrical Balance of Plant that are readily supplied components for power generation equipment. They had basically some infant mortality issues. So the combination of those two things delayed after getting those units completely commissioned and accepted by the customer.
We've worked through all of those things now both the installation, challenges that POSCO and their customers had and the Electrical Balance of Plant equipment problems. We don't expect to see that going forward because we all approach this under the context of we want to get these units operating as quickly as possible.
We want to show how will the product works in support of this national standards just coming and we really use that as an opportunity for all of those collective to figure out how to work better together and to capture the lessons learned and flow it back into our installation manuals and were our product comes together.
Meghan Moreland - Ardour Capital
So, as more of an issue of this all culminating in the fourth quarter?
Daniel Brdar
Yes, exactly. With the way worked out was, we actually had about a half dozen units, that are basically a new product to that marketplace that all stacked up on top of one another in terms of the timing of when they were being commissioned and that's what really caused the delay.
There was one that easily knocked it off, but the fact that we had a half dozen happening at the same time. It just stretched everybody's resources to get it done and as quickly as we would have like to, but fortunately, I think everybody is pretty happy with the way things turned out. Shipments have resumed, we've actually already seeing some customers' comeback for repeat orders.
Meghan Moreland - Ardour Capital
How many megawatts were shipped in the fourth quarter?
Daniel Brdar
There were 0.3 megawatt, that was actually shipped and then we have another eight megawatts that was ready to ship to POSCO, but they ask us to hold it for about 30 days, while we work through the rest of these commissioning issues.
Meghan Moreland - Ardour Capital
So that was partial of recognition on the P&L?
Joseph Mahler
Yes, we maintained recognition. We didn't say any indication. We're on the percentage of completion, so we just maintained revenue recognition.
Meghan Moreland - Ardour Capital
In terms of backlog, did you say that, product backlog now it remains essentially at 44 megawatts, is that what heard?
Joseph Mahler
43.7 to be exact.
Meghan Moreland - Ardour Capital
Just refresh me, none of the Connecticut's projects are in backlog right now, though we had into backlog once the financing is completed, is that correct?
Joseph Mahler
That is correct.
Meghan Moreland - Ardour Capital
Where do we stand there just in quite time since those were given final approval, I know you said, that some of them were going to be apply for the DOE loan guarantees. I would think that, we would have some financing coming due at this point, where is it really just still so, such a frozen market?
Daniel Brdar
It's really what we're seeing in a broader market with just the inability for anybody doing power projects to get any meaningful amount of financing. We're seeing that we've got people with that have engaged in terms of looking the project portfolio we're making some good progress with them, but we're treating this as a parallel path if we can drive the traditional finance in the closure great.
We're going to work the parallel path with the DOE loan guarantee program as well and those two things may converge at the end, but we really want to make sure that we're pursuing all the opportunities just because it tends to still be a lot of risk aversion to doing any kind of capital equipment projects right now.
Meghan Moreland - Ardour Capital
Are there any time constraints on these projects? If they don't get financing within a year or two they reduce their approval or is that open ended?
Daniel Brdar
No, there is one of them bid into the four capacity market, so it will have to make some adjustments to accommodate that, but they're not really time constrained in terms of getting the thing done. We just would all like to get them into backlog, so that we can actually show multi megawatt units operating here in the U.S. just like we have in Korea.
Your next question comes from Adam - Oppenheimer.
Adam - Oppenheimer
Couple of quick questions, can you run through your pipeline outside your backlog? I know you've told us that before to get run that?
Joseph Mahler
Yes, what we're seeing is, and just to make clear again is that these were not in out backlog at this point, but this 43 megawatts in Connecticut, it has value of over $200 million. The contract has signed power purchase agreements with utilities so they're in very good shape in that regard and we're just walking through as Dan just described, that the project finance exercised, we fully expect those to get finance.
Then in California, we are expanding our pipeline of possibilities. I mean, I think last quarter, we were talking somewhere above 15 megawatts to 20 megawatts of opportunities and now those are probably higher than 25 megawatts of opportunities at this point time.
So, we're seeing increased interest certainly in the wastewater market, we are seeing real reluctance, we still that and seeing that release from the financing standpoint, the same people just being very cautious in terms of their capital budgets and capital financing, but from a company standpoint we're very encouraged by the increased activity, we did take that order from Talari the other day and I think that's a real positive too in the sense the repeat order in that California market place. So, I things look good which is have to get through this loop financing exercises.
Adam - Oppenheimer
If you could just update us on the metrics to turn GM positive the run rate maybe potential timing?
Daniel Brdar
Yes, I think it's a same pretty much the same metrics I think in 10-K we are articulate a range of 75 to 125 megawatts which is really a product mix situation if you're shipping cells in modules to the Koreans you're going to be at the higher end. If you were shipping all power plants, you would be at the lower end we're seeing cost come out, we're happy with the cost reduction it really come down to our volume game at this point in time. I mean the product is ready, the product is working well, the cost during the right place we can get some volume through the system we can really move on that path.
Your next question comes from Chip Moore - Canaccord Adams.
Chip Moore - Canaccord Adams
Just come back to Connecticut's 3.5 megawatts approved, you mentioned potentially getting DOE decision in early 10. How should will be thinking about revenues next year into '11, if you go just kind of broadly give us a ballpark 2/3, 1/3 etc.?
Daniel Brdar
I am not sure about 2/3, 1/3 I mean it should be the backlog, should be somewhat ratable, we drive it through our production rate or production rate right now is about 30 megawatts will be producing the same amount generally each quarter so, without incremental volume, if you took this year and we didn't through a lot incremental volume monitor would be ratably, pretty consistent through the four quarters.
Chip Moore - Canaccord Adams
Maybe if you could give similar announces for POSCO backlog just in terms of running to the P&L how we should look at that?
Joseph Mahler
I think the POSCO probably run 15 months, and so it's probably five quarters, maybe a little bit more. I mean most of the backlog right now is POSCO. So that's plan to run over a five, 5.5 quarters. So the question is, when does the volume increase and when do those orders come through and we'll have to do with that when it come in. I mean those things were out of nine months to 12 months cycle to ship on new orders. So you would expect that would be the cycle for that.
Chip Moore - Canaccord Adams
Then I guess just lastly, you talked about Europe, maybe signing multiple partners, any idea on timing their potential announcements?
Daniel Brdar
Timing is tough to tell, because you're dealing with negotiations, but we're actually pretty well engaged with one player already. We're like to try and drive first relationship to closure as early as we can in 2010 and we'd expect that probably at another one to after that as we get into latter half of 2010
Your final question comes from Burt Chao - Simmons & Co.
Burt Chao - Simmons & Co.
I apologize if it's already been answered, but can you guys go detail a little bit on your cash burned on the quarter? What you expect it to be going forward?
Joseph Mahler
As we said, we got POSCO invested $25 million and gave us the licensing fee. At the same time, we ran a $23 million cash use in the quarter, because as part of that commissioning exercise with POSCO, some of the acceptance criteria was pushed out about 30 days, so the working capital associated with those orders really get pushed into the first quarter.
So what you have is you have in the fourth quarter, you have higher cash use because of that working capital move to the first quarter. I mean, I would say that numbers $10 million to $12 million range. So if you take that number and you look into 23 and you say that, working capital got shifted out, you bring it back down, you're back into that normal range that, we have which is I think in '09, we talked about $10 million to $14 million range.
Burt Chao - Simmons & Co.
So going forward, it should kind of return to normal?
Joseph Mahler
Yes, it should in '10, not including new volumes, here with new volumes would actually improve, as the margins now are positive on our incremental sale that will actually helped. If you look at it with the existing backlog and how that's playing out, we would still expect the drop because our cost have come down. So you're in that '10 probably in a little bit lower range 10 to 12 range something like that.
It appears that does conclude our question-and-answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to our speakers for any additional or closing remark.
Daniel Brdar
I want to thank everybody for joining us today. We look forward to updating you again on our progress next quarter. Thank you.
That does conclude our conference for today. Thank you for your participation.

Hello Everybody, I need help from you frequent travelers and travel industry members. I just bought the tickets for my honeymoon. We are flying HMO - LAX - HMO on AM, and LAX-PPT-AKL-LAX on TN. My girlfriend name is Yvette, so I bought her ticket under Yvette name (pretty obvious). The point is that she just told me that her passport (and therefore her US Visa) are misspelled and that in both documents they changed the Y for I, so in her documents her name appears as Ivette instead of Yvette.
Do you think that there might be a problem if the name on the ticket doesn´t match exactly the name on her passport and visa? I know that regulations in airports are more strict every time, so I just want to make sure that I wont have any problem, especially in my honeymoon
Thaks a lot for your help guys, I will really apprecciate it..

Immigration lawyer in Kansas City. I like Character driven dramas, fantasy (monsters, magic and witches oh my!) and coming of age stories. Favs include: The Book Thief, The Game of Throne series, Harry Potter Series, Dresden Files, Nightside series, anything by Neil Gaimen, 100 Years of Solitude.
"As good as always"
I like this last installment in the Thursday Next series as much as all the others. It is true that it takes a bit getting used to a new voice especially if come directly from a prior book, but Emily Gray does as good of a job as Elizabeth Sastre. Can't wait for "First Among Sequels"
"Good Read"
Man was this a good listen! It was like being on a fun ride. The reader was wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed the story!
"A better read than listen"
I read another Thursday Next book before I decided to listen to this one. As soon as I started playing SOMETHING ROTTEN, I realized I should have listened to the sample as the reader was going to drive me nuts. The book is OK; but once you've read or listened to one of these books, I fear the cleverness loses its punch (at least it did for me). If you chose this one, listen to the sample before you purchase it.
"The best of the lot"
I really enjoyed the Eyre Affai, but thought that the books had, although very good, gotten worse with each subsequent volume. Something Rotten is great -- the best of the lot. Jasper Fforde has written a funny and interesting book. It moves the story ahead and totally entertains. Excellent.

"Not up to Par"
If you have loved the books in the Thursday Next series (as I have) then you may find yourself a little less thrilled in this installment. The development of the characters has seemed to stagnate, and aside from a couple of brilliant scenes in the book (including the ending!) the twists and turns are disappointingly predictable. I was also saddened to see that although we see more of Landon Park Lane in this book, his relationship with Thursday remains bland and his character is really not explored to any degree of depth. It must also be said that although books 2 and 3 in this series were exceptionally well read (I didn't listen to the Eyre Affair as it is abridged) this particular installment was unexceptional, being read by a new narrator. The original voice of Thursday Next held a great degree of energy and zing...there were many times in this novel that I felt myself wishing she would quit moaning and shut up. I also felt that the plot droned on and went in to too many weird directions. In the previous two novels, Thursday has a consistent mission (escaping Goliath and the Chronoguard, then the duties of Jurisfiction) and although she gets a little sidetracked here and there, it's all heading in the same general direction. I felt in this novel that the writer had a bunch of random ideas left over and decided to randomly chuck them all in together.
"Poorly executed"
This was not the best of the series to begin with, but the combination of horrible narration, the mispronunciation of character names and other key information, makes this a difficult experience. Read the book. Avoid the audio.
"An end to a truly unique series"
I've really enjoyed the Thursday Next series. It is truly unique and different. It is well written with lots of interesting spins with it's linkages to the fictional world, as well England in the author's world. Of the 4 books, this is probably the weakest but, that may largely be because of the change in narrators. Elizabeth Sastre set a standard for Thursday and the rest of her characters in the first three books that would be hard to equal by anyone. The current narrator does a good job with some characters but, is lacking in some of the others. Overall, that slows down the pace and the devoted Fforde/Sastre fan feel disappointed or perhaps disconnected by the change. If you are looking for an original and unique series, I can't recommend another series highly enough.
"Something Rotten (Unabridged)"
It is such a shame that Elizabeth Sastre was not engaged as narrator for this book. I found the narration flat and could not finish listening to the book. So disappointing.
"2 Stars due to Narrator"
As a Thursday Next fan you must read the fourth installment of her adventures. Overall the series, though perhaps as someone commented can get a little drawn out, is one of the more imaginative series of books I have read/heard in a long time. That being said after hearing the first 3 books wonderfully read by Elizabeth Sastre this newest narrator is horrible. She cannot seem to pronounce names properly and you spend time trying to figure out just who she is talking about. Her pauses between sections sometimes are so long I find myself looking at my iPod to see if it is still on. And the absolute worst is she sounds like she has gum or hard candy in her mouth while she is reading. I found myself cringing at times and not once felt like I could totally be wrapped up in the book as I had with the previous 3. I hope someone sends these reviews back to the company who made the recordings. PLEASE bring back Elizabeth Sastre for the next Next book!

Your move, Real Madrid
Wow, not a bad start to the season for Barcelona I'd say.
La Blaugrana dominated Real Sociedad for almost 90 minutes with a final score of 5-1.
Lionel Messi scored a brace, Tello had a couple of assists and David Villa got a welcomed return.
But not all was perfect on the night. There were still some minor concerns for the team, and Tito's squad selection deserves evaluation.
When looking at Real Madrid's draw with Valencia, what does the day's results mean for the title race?
Read on to see all of these points discussed as I show you six things we learned in Barcelona's 5-1 route of Real Sociedad.

Robin Stewart
Research HydrologistContact Info
Short Biography
Robin Stewart has been a research hydrologist with U.S. Geological Survey's National Research Program (NRP) in Menlo Park since 2003. She received an undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Victoria, British Columbia Canada in 1991 and a PhD in ecotoxicology from the University of Manitoba in 1998. Immediately following this she pursued a postdoctoral appointment with Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans in 1998 evaluating the fate and transport of organic contaminants during the 1997 Red River Flood. In the spring of 1999 she began her postdoctoral research with the USGS National Research Program.
For the past twenty years Robin Stewart's research has focused on identifying and understanding processes influencing the fate and bioavailability of selenium (Se), mercury (Hg), and organic contaminants in food webs across a range of aquatic environments including estuaries (San Francisco Bay and Puget Sound), rivers (Manitoba/North Dakota, Oregon, Wisconsin and Florida), lakes (Manitoba and Ontario), and tidal rivers and reservoirs (California). Through a combination of field-based process studies, in situ monitoring of key biomonitors over short-term (<3 years) and long-term (>10 years) time series, biodyanamic modeling and knowledge gained through laboratory-based studies of physiological uptake she strives to identify critical processes controlling contaminant bioaccumulation in nature.

Bioavailability, bioaccumulation and trophic transfer of selenium and mercury in dynamic aquatic ecosystems
Dietary contaminants such as selenium (Se), mercury (Hg) and organic chemicals have the potential to threaten fish and birds, and impede ecosystem restoration efforts in rivers, lakes and estuaries worldwide. For example, Se contamination remains an ongoing issue for resource managers because it is a by-product of common economic activities including coal-fire generation of electricity, oil refining, agriculture, and mining of phosphate, copper and uranium. Understanding the complexities of Se behavior in ecosystems is critical because of the potential for future changes in Se source loading, water management, hydroclimatic conditions and ecosystem restoration that could alter Se exposures in the food web, potentially exacerbating the problem.
