"We now look forward to filling the orders that we have in hand and generating revenue as we move forward in the new year. We are very impressed with Vencor's torrefied wood product. It exceeded the required specifications to be called Bio-Coal. They recently increased their production capacity and are now capable of filling our orders and shipping product to our international clients. We anticipate this being the first of many orders of this type. We have been able to secure several deals like this, but production has been the delay. Hopefully, that is now behind us and we can continue to grow our business and bring additional value to our shareholders."
