FREDERICK, Colo., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- UQM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (AMEX:UQM), a developer of alternative energy technologies, announced today operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Continuing operations for the first quarter resulted in a loss of $720,374 or $0.03 per common share on total revenue of $1,153,205 versus a loss from continuing operations of $697,721 or $0.04 per common share on total revenue of $683,996 for the first quarter last year. Net loss for the quarter was $730,805 or $0.03 per common share versus a net loss of $714,903 or $0.04 per common share for the comparable quarter last year. "Product sales for the quarter more than doubled to $685,617 from $268,006 for the first quarter last fiscal year driven by sales of higher volume products manufactured by our power products segment which nearly doubled and by higher levels of low volume products which rose over five-fold to $257,556. Our losses from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 were due to reduced gross profit margins on contract services and expenses associated with the expansion of our production engineering and manufacturing infrastructure, which was partially offset by lower levels of research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses," said Donald A. French, UQM Technologies' Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer. "On June 30, 2005 we completed a private placement of our common stock which raised our cash and short-term investments to $11.2 million and further strengthened our balance sheet which we believe is important to the execution of our strategy to make selective investments in programs and product developments that we believe could lead to volume production of our motor and controls technology in both existing and emerging markets." Separately, the Company announced today that it has received an order for twenty-nine DC to DC converters from Eaton Corporation's (NYSE:ETN) Truck Components business unit for use in hybrid electric trucks.
