With production testing to begin this summer, we expect UNSS will quickly become a highly efficient supplier to a very rapidly growing market for solar PV products.”

The Company noted that it had hired 54 manufacturing employees by the end of the first quarter and over 90 as of the date of this press release. It has signed contracts for delivery of raw materials including silicon and has begun to build products for inventory in preparation for initial customer sales.

There were no revenues during the first quarter of 2010 compared to $659,948 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, representing sales to one customer of solar PV modules. Net loss for the first quarter was $248,642 compared to $21,382 for the first quarter of 2009 reflecting the absence of revenue and expenses related to consulting, legal and audit fees in relation to registration of the common stock with the SEC.
