COMMENTS BY THE CEO

Our liquidity situation became quite strained around October last year and limited our spending on working capital whilst deferring our investment programme. Nonetheless, the company averted a credit crunch by organising a deeply discounted rights issue for 101.5MSEK. This was successfully concluded at the end of April. In February, after announcing the rights issue, we secured interim funding of around 55MSEK which was fully repaid, together with interest, after concluding the rights issue. I now look forward with confidence in meeting our key objectives for 2019.

Our sales for the quarter was 12 units. This was in line with our expectation as customer orders were mainly focussed around the OXE Diesel 200 tropical variant, which went into production in May 2019. We are nevertheless working on a number of projects that could yield significant sales orders for the OXE Diesel 150s. I am confident, based on our sales and orders to date, we will meet our targets for 2019.

During the first quarter of 2019, the company managed to produce 35 units. The reduced level of production is due to several factors which included rectifying certain defective parts in some of our production engines. However, the main reason for the slowdown was due to conserving our cash resources whilst the company organised alternative funding to meet its operational and investment needs.

We are progressing with our Bison project for the OXE Diesel 300 in accordance with our plan with the aim of a production start around May 2020.
