The completion of the $20 million in bridge financing with institutional investors on December 13, 2010, made it possible for CleanTech to submit contract bids to HuaNeng before the December 18, 2010 bidding deadline.

CleanTech has submitted other contract bids to HuaNeng and other large energy companies in China. CleanTech anticipates winning additional wind tower supply contracts throughout 2011.

The new contracts are critical to meeting our 2011 revenue targets in a favorable market environment. CleanTech’s management team is also the founders of our company. As CleanTech has already disclosed publicly, our entire management and insider holdings are locked up and prohibited from any share sales for at least 3 years through December 2013.
