He reiterated cash flow positive in the 1st quarter of 2013.
Machine 2 is running producing fuel.
Machine 1 repair/upgrade is complete. It's going through burn in testing for problems and fixing them as they appear. Hence it is up and down as they do so. It is up and running today as they continue.
Machine 3 is being worked on.
I asked about doing a raise if one would be needed and he said yes for the continued roll out.
I asked about the swirling rumors of someone driving the stock down to launch a cheap buy out. He said NO. He wouldn't have anything to do with something like that and any low ball offer would be refused in any event.
I asked about run tickets and he said no. He said fuel production took off the last part of September and carried forward through all of October and continues as of now. The company will NOT engage in short term numbers to try to boost the stock.
I asked about gov grants as a green energy company and he said that is being looked at on a local level. He also stated he gets phone calls from all over the world from people and gov wanting this technology to solve their waste plastic problems.
He said they are concentrating on fleshing out the Niagra site and getting CFP and profitable. Then build out their first customer site at Rock Tenn. In the future they may look at partnering or licensing their technology.
I asked about the delay this year with 2 machines running. He said machine 1 broke and machine 2 completion was severely affected by a cash crunch which threw all machine completion and production schedules under the bus. They did the 10 million dollar raise bills and debt were paid and things got back on track and continue to improve.
He said he has been and continues to work diligently to reduce costs and has reduced head count as part of it.
He said he took a BIG pay cut from his job at Rock Tenn and was willing to do so as he believes in JBI and it's technology and will come out ahead in the long run.
