Item 8.01    Other Events.

 

 

a)

At its Annual Meeting on June 19, 2013, the Company announced that its current test phase of its IsoTorque differential for use in Models C5 & C6 Corvettes has been completed, and that this product is technically ready for entry into the aftermarket. Management stated that it is expecting to be building inventory and starting to sell and deliver finished product in the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2013.

 

The Company also announced that the ongoing development activities for its hydraulic pump successfully passed a milestone test which confirmed numerous aspects of the breakthrough technologies. This accomplishment, although not a full validation of the pump as a complete product, proved the soundness of the concept. Pump development activities will now shift to addressing customer specific applications.

 

Also at the Annual Meeting, management discussed the Company’s cash position, and based on the current operating plan, the Company will likely need to raise additional funds by mid-2014 in order to continue the development of its technology. Management expressed its confidence in being able to raise funds, and noted that the Company is starting to consider various financing alternatives for potentially interested investors, with an expectation for completing a transaction by early 2014.
