Magnolia Solar Corporation Files Annual Report
WOBURN, MA and ALBANY, NY - Magnolia Solar Corporation (OTC: MGLT) ("Magnolia Solar," the “Company”) announced today it filed its annual report with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, March 28, 2011.
Magnolia Solar is a development stage company focused on next generation nanostructure-based thin film solar cells for defense and commercial applications. Magnolia’s revenue was derived primarily from external funding received to support its research and development efforts. During the 2010 fiscal year, Magnolia Solar received funding from the United States Air Force and the New York State Energy Research and Development Agency (NYSERDA). Magnolia Solar also worked on a solar cell development program funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), where it provided technical support to the primary contractor.
Some of the key accomplishments for the Fiscal-Year 2010 include:
|
1.
|
Magnolia Solar received two highly competitive Phase I SBIR/STTR contracts from the Air Force to develop next generation nanostructure-based thin film solar cells that use quantum structures to achieve high efficiency, potentially greater than 40 percent.
|
|
2.
|
The Company successfully completed work on the first phase of an award from NYSERDA. After completing the milestones of the first phase in collaboration with the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering/Albany Nanotech Center in Albany, New York and Rensselear Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York, Magnolia Solar was approved by NYSERDA to start work on the second phase of the award. The goal of this program is to develop next generation high efficiency thin film nanostructure-based solar cells for terrestrial applications.
|
|
3.
|
Magnolia Solar was awarded a new product development program from NYSERDA to explore innovative light trapping techniques that can significantly enhance thin film solar cell efficiency. Magnolia Solar is working on this program in collaboration with RPI.
|
|
4.
|
Magnolia Solar filed several patent applications to protect its intellectual property and to enhance the market position of the company for future commercialization, joint ventures, and potential licensing.
|
|
5.
|
The Company established a Technical Advisory Board (TAB) and appointed three world renowned experts to the TAB. The TAB members will assist Magnolia Solar with developing and implementing next generation photovoltaic concepts.
|
|
6.
|
Magnolia stock began trading on the OTC market (February 8, 2010) following the successful completion of a reverse merger at the end of December 2009.
|
|
7.
|
The Company established an office at the Albany Nanotech Center in Albany, New York, consolidating and enhancing its research efforts in New York’s Capital Region.
|
Dr. Ashok Sood, President and CEO stated “We are very pleased with the progress of our technology development in 2010 and look forward to continuing the development of next generation solar cells for both the commercial and defense applications. We have several technology development initiatives under review at the Department of Defense (DoD), NASA, and the Department of Energy (DoE), and we look forward to winning new research and development programs. Magnolia Solar will also continue working with potential customers and the investment community to raise additional funds to accelerate our product and pilot facility development in the New York Capital Region, near the world class Albany Nanotech Center.”
The Company reported that it had revenue of $686,568 for the fiscal year 2010, which produced a gross profit of $221,136. The indirect and administrative labor, professional fees, depreciation and amortization, and general and administrative expenses were $883,508. The company reported a net loss of $0.06 per share, which included non-operating expenses relating to interest expenses and amortization of the original issue discount on a note associated with the reverse merger.
About Magnolia Solar Corporation: Based in Woburn, MA and Albany, NY, Magnolia Solar was founded in 2008 to develop and commercialize revolutionary new thin film solar cell technologies that employ nanostructured materials and designs. Both higher current and voltage outputs are expected from thin film solar cells that combine Magnolia’s exclusive material structures with advanced optical coatings. Magnolia’s technology has the ability to capture a larger part of the solar spectrum to produce high efficiency solar cells, and incorporates a unique nanostructure-based antireflection coating technology to further increase the solar cell's efficiency, thereby reducing the cost per watt. Magnolia Solar technology targets electrical power generation applications, ranging from commercial uses including power for electrical grids, to distributed power applications such as residential lighting and specialized military applications.
