To OTC Journal Members: News on Engineering Powers Systems Limited (OTC BB: EGPDF) Recently we have had a lot of requests for updated information on Engineering Power Systems Limited, a company we believe has tremendous upside potential. Last Friday Engineering Power Systems Limited (OTC BB: EGPDF) published a news release concerning an earnings restatement. While the numbers in the press release were not particularly important, other information within the release gives us some direction of the future of this Company. For those of you that are not familiar with this Company, we originally began coverage in the first quarter of 1999. At that time we believed that this company had one of the most exciting business models we had ever reviewed. We still believe it. At the time the stock was trading in the $1.50 range. Since then the stock has traded up near $3 several times, only to fall back into the $1.50 range and trade with very light volume. Click here if you wish to review the original profile. Investors that have sold on the price surges have had opportunities to take profits, but for the most part this stock has been a lackluster performer through 1999. We still believe that the Company has a shot a charging into the $200 million annual revenue run rate in the year 2,000, up from the current $40 million. In the last several months we have been unable to speak directly with Management about ongoing developments. The Company is in the process of funding a $25 million bond offering, and securities regulations require them to be in a regulatory "Quiet Period" until this process is completed. We have learned the following as a result of last Friday's press release about ongoing developments:
Here is some more detailed information
about on-going developments:
The Andhra Pradesh Project The Company has decided to convert this project into a land based natural gas project as opposed to the original Power Barge Power Plants. This offers several benefits to shareholders:
The property on which the Power Plant
will be located has been purchased, and final regulatory approvals are
currently in process.
Innovative Steam Technologies Acquisition On September 24th Engineering Power announced the signing of a definitive purchase agreement to acquire Innovative Steam Technologies (IST), a subsidiary of one of Canada's largest construction companies. Click here to read the press release. IST manufactures a once through Steam Generator. This technology is part of a combined cycle power plant configuration, and uses exhaust heat to generate steam power. IST has 50 installations in 20 locations worldwide. These installations have over 2 million hours of combined operating time. The technology is smaller, weighs less, and has fewer moving parts than other competing technologies. This technology will be built into Engineering Power's projects, make the plants more efficient and the Company more profitable. Reading between the lines, one can assume that the proceeds from the bond offering will be used to complete the purchase of IST and replenish the Company's treasury. To learn more about IST go
to their web site at www.otsg.com.
Conclusion In a recent article which appeared on Reuter's, Gill Rider, a partner in Andersen Consulting's European Utilities Unit, was quoted as saying "By 2010 40% of Europe's Power is likely to be generated by gas, compared with 10 to 15% today. The trend is being driven by new technologies, new sources of supply, price demands, and environmental concerns." Engineering Power is positioning itself as a leading power provider for Third World Countries where it is desperately needed. Furthermore, the company is investing in leading edge technologies which represent the future of power generation. It has been a long a frustrating road with this stock as we feared it might be due to the complexities of launching these Power Projects. At this point, we feel that the future of the Company rests with the successful completion of the current bond funding. This bond is being issued as a "144A" security, meaning that potential purchasers must have over 1/2 billion in assets to participate. If sophisticated investors of this magnitude are willing to invest in this Company you have to like your chances as a shareholder. This will give the Company enough capital to purchase IST, roll out the Andhra Pradesh project, and begin the Karnataka Power Barge Project. In the meantime, the stock does not
want to trade much below $1.50, suggesting that investors providing an
excellent entry level for investors prepared to wait for more developments
and the next price surge.
