2009 Year End Results Announcement Date



05 March 2010 , LONDON, UK and AMES, IOWA - PowerFilm, Inc. (AIM: PFLM), ("PowerFilm" or "the Company"), the developer and manufacturer of thin flexible solar panels, today announces that its results for the year ended 31 December 2009 will be released on March 29, 2010.

PowerFilm Announces Results for the Year Ended 31 December 2009

29 March 2010, LONDON, UK and AMES, IOWA - PowerFilm, Inc. (AIM: PFLM) ('the Company' or
'PowerFilm'), the developer and manufacturer of thin flexible solar panels, today announces its results
for the year ended 31 December 2009.

Highlights for the Full Year 2009
Revenue of $6.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2009 (2008: $8.6 million)

Net Loss of $1.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2009 (2008 Net Income: $0.1 million)

As at 31 December 2009, the Company had $17.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and cash
and short-term investments held for property and equipment construction (2008: $23.3 million).
Of that total, cash and cash equivalents not held for property and equipment construction was
$8.4 million. The Company continues to be in a strong position for capacity expansion.

Investment in labor force and the new building committed to in previous year and stagnant
sales in 2009, have resulted in gross margin for the year ended 31 December 2009 of -5% (2008:
20%). Strong cost cutting actions taken during 2009 to reverse this fall in margin going forward.
New solar recharging product solutions and distribution partners for the golf cart, police and
emergency responder, marina, and bus shelter lighting markets.

The Company is expanding the distribution of its products by forming a strategic partnership
with established industry leader SoundOff Signal to distribute globally to the police, emergency,
fleets, RV and trucking markets. Also the strategic relationship with W.W. Grainger offers
potentially significant global sales opportunities in the military and disaster relief (including
FEMA) markets. Distribution in the U.S. was further expanded via the West Marine national
retail chain.

Progress continues to be made on operation of the meter-wide deposition machine and
associated cost reduction technology. Yields, however, remain insufficient for manufacturing of
commercial product at this time. The Company is working to complete the engineering
modifications required to solve this.

The Company is progressing with its objectives for producing building integrated solar panels
and has installed its first building integrated solar installation on architectural fabric at the
Furman Aquatic Center in Ames with other demonstration projects in the pipe line for 2010.

Trading Update

31 January 2011, PowerFilm, Inc. (AIM: PFLM), ("PowerFilm" or the "Company"), the developer and manufacturer of thin flexible solar panels, today announces a trading update for the year ending December 31, 2010.

Financial Update PowerFilm made clear financial progress in the 2010 fiscal year. Revenues have increased from the first half ($4.5 million) to approximately $5.7 million for the second half and the sales revenue momentum is expected to continue. As a result, the Directors expect revenues for the year 2010 to be approximately $10.2m (same period 2009: $6.6m) and the Company expects to incur a loss significantly reduced from the same period last year (same period 2009: $1.9m loss).

PowerFilm has enhanced its very solid balance sheet with total cash increased by $0.7 million from its $17.3 million position a year ago. As such, the Company’s cash position remains strong with total cash of approximately $18 million as at 31 December 2010, comprised of cash and cash equivalents ($10 million) and cash held for property and equipment construction ($8 million). The cash held for property and equipment construction is a separate internal account only and is not contractually committed for the purchase of property and equipment.

Debt remains limited to the long-term debt of $4.125 million for the new manufacturing building and land, and $0.25 million of corresponding short-term debt.


Operational Update

The increase in revenue for the year 2010 was the result of both new customers from a diverse range of industries, as well as existing customers increasing their orders.

As was previously announced in the first half results, PowerFilm has successfully completed the engineering modifications to the meter-wide manufacturing equipment to realize a yield level acceptable for manufacturing of commercial product. Operation of the equipment is now being transitioned from research and development and engineering to manufacturing operations.

For building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), PowerFilm continues its collaboration with Ferrari Textiles for launching a truly integrated product and system for the architectural fabric market. Ferrari is a global fabric company well established with the architectural community throughout the world. The Company continues with its objectives of third-party certification, production of its building integrated solar panels, and work with other partners.

Additional financial and operational details will be included in the full year end results announcement which the Company plans to release on March 28.

Operational Update
27 October 2011, PowerFilm, Inc. (AIM: PFLM), ("PowerFilm" or the "Company"), the developer and manufacturer of thin flexible solar panels and the developer of roll to roll flexible electronics, today announces an operational update regarding the timing of the third-party certification of its building integrated products.

The Company currently expects third-party certification of its building integrated products in the first half of 2012. The independent test lab performing tests on the Company's panels has identified an issue with the epoxy mixture used in the junction box of one of the panels. Further analysis indicates that the issue was caused by a defect with the epoxy tube mixture. PowerFilm is addressing this issue, including tightening epoxy supply chain requirements. The issue was not with the Company's core solar technology.

This delay of the certification of its building integrated products is not expected to materially impact the Company's revenue for 2012 and 2013.

Trading Update

28 June 2012, PowerFilm, Inc. (AIM: PFLM), ("PowerFilm" or the "Company"),

the developer and manufacturer of thin flexible solar panels and developer of roll to roll flexible electronics, today announces a trading update for the half year ended 30 June 2012.

In the first half of this year, when revenues are typically lower due to the seasonal nature of some of PowerFilm’s markets, preliminary first half revenues of the Company are expected to be in the $4.0 to 4.2 million range. This is expected to lead to a Net Loss slightly over $1 million. As announced on 26 March 2012, the net loss is being addressed by the Board and the Company’s Management Committee through a comprehensive review of 2012 plans and budgets, sharpened strategic priorities, and cost reductions. Cost reduction progress so far includes reductions in payroll expense, consulting fees, costs in sales and marketing, and consolidation of IT. As was previously announced, the service of 9 employees has been terminated. The impact of these cost reductions will be realized primarily in the second half of the year.

The elimination of a number of competitor companies has improved PowerFilm’s market position and is generating interest in the use of PowerFilm products as an established, commercially available alternative. This positive market dynamic for PowerFilm, along with the Company’s ongoing strategic partnering, is expected to yield increased orders in the second half and gives the Company a note of cautious optimism for the full year. Achieving positive Net Income remains PowerFilm’s top priority.

The Company announces that Tim Neugent, President and COO, will be leaving the company to pursue other opportunities. There is a concerted effort to help ensure a smooth transition. The emphasis on growing sales revenues will continue.
PowerFilm maintains a strong balance sheet with minimal debt (only long-term debt for building and land hard assets).

A full financial and operational update will be provided in the first half results announcement to be released in September.

sie geben einfach nicht auf:

in 2012 haben sie den Verlustum ein Drittel reduziert und 20% gross margin hinbekommen;

in H1-2013 nur noch 4,7% aber lediglich gut 100000 USD für operations verbraucht

so können sie noch lange weitermachen...

aus dem report:

Outlook
In the context of a highly unpredictable global economy and price-pressured solar industry, it is challenging to predict the future. PowerFilm has taken difficult but necessary steps to re-focus on those product applications and markets in which the Company’s custom engineered product solutions are differentiated, valued, provide strong gross margin, and sufficient volume. Much has been achieved in the program for reducing Company spending and this will continue. We are deploying our cash conservatively while the markets remain uncertain and are constantly working to make improvements to be well positioned when external conditions improve.
