Clean tech perseveres in tough economy

By Efrain Viscarolasaga

The pre-holiday Fourth Conference on Clean Energy at the Hynes Convention Center is long since over, but the event has traditionally proven to be a litmus test for the local clean energy industry.

Surprisingly, the event maintained at least a slight feeling of optimism for the long-term prospects of the local clean technology community, despite the plunging stock market, tightening financial environment and plummeting price of oil. If nothing else, its success bolstered the industry’s position among the region’s traditional industry heavyweights such as telecom, biotech and finance, and left attendees feeling that the industry has a future beyond next year’s event.

Some notes:

• Stealthy portable battery maker Lilliputian Systems Inc. of Wilmington made an appearance at the conference, with new vice president of business development and marketing Mouli Ramani walking the halls. Though the company had a small presence at the show, its big announcement came from its Wilmington facility, where Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick attended an event and helped the company announce the addition of 100 new “green collar” jobs through a planned expansion of its manufacturing plant.

The expansion comes as the company finally put a target date — 2009 — on the release of its portable fuel cell for wireless devices.

For the uninitiated, Lilliputian was founded out of MIT on research developed by Samuel Schaevitz and Aleks Franz, Lilliputian’s co-founders. In 2003 they added CEO Ken Lazarus, and despite raising more than $60 million in funding, the company has remained fairly quiet about its technology.

Over the past few months, a slow stream of information coming out of the company seems to indicate that it has solved the technology issues, and units could be forthcoming as soon as next year.

While such miniature, portable fuel cells have been researched both here and in Asia for years, they have always been “some time away.” If Lilliputian has indeed solved the technology issues, and has a device that can penetrate the $50 billion portable power market, it is no surprise the governor turned out for its expansion announcement.

When you consider the applicability of such power sources on everything from cell phones and music players to GPS units and laptops, 100 new jobs to get them out the door may be just the beginning.

• Two local companies used the conference to announce new funding. Cellulosic ethanol microbe developer SunEthanol Inc. announced its name change to Qteros Inc. and brought in $25 million, while alternative engine technology maker ReGen Power Systems LLC added $5 million to its coffers.

What’s interesting about the two deals is that despite the Chicken Little syndrome that has many in the industry saying no “new money” is coming out of the VC community, both deals included new investors. Qteros’ new investors include Cambridge-based Venrock, New York-based Soros Fund Management LLC and energy giant BP PLC, joining previous investors Battery Ventures,Long River Ventures and Camros Capital.

For ReGen Power Systems, the investment represents the firm’s first private funding, though it previously received $500,000 from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative. It’s new investors are New York-based 21Ventures LLC and the Quercus Trust.

Despite being held during the heart of one of the worst financial weeks in recent history, the economic outlook of the clean energy sector was positive among attendees of the conference. The financial sections of the event, including the annual “investor pitch” sessions, where budding entrepreneurs pitch their company to potential investors, were among the most-attended sessions of the event.

• The atmosphere was likewise positive at the conference’s job fair, where a handful of companies still hiring people (rather than laying them off) fielded questions from a room packed with potential employees. According to Matthew Richards, the founder and managing director of renewable energy recruiting firm DanePartners, which sponsored the job fair, the abundance of job seekers wasn’t all that surprising, given the economy. The number of companies hiring, however, including Conservation Services Group of Westborough, Satcon Technologies Corp. of Boston, Konarka Technologies Inc. of Lowell, Evergreen Solar Inc. of Marlborough and Second Wind Inc. of Somerville, was encouraging.

Among the areas that were most active, said Richards, were green-collar jobs, those that require hands-on knowledge of technologies, both new and traditional. Sectors most active on the recruitment side included energy efficiency and demand-response companies, as opposed to core technology research companies in the wind, solar or biomass sectors.

Vesta Capital Corp. (TSXV:VES.P) Announces the Signing of a Letter of Intent for Its Proposed Qualifying Transaction

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 10, 2008) - Vesta Capital Corp. ("Vesta") (TSX VENTURE:VES.P) is pleased to announce that on October 30, 2008, it entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") with 3GSolar, Ltd. ("3G"). The LOI provides that Vesta will enter into a share exchange transaction with each of 3G's shareholders, which will result in 3G becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vesta (the "Transaction"). The Transaction is intended to constitute Vesta's "qualifying transaction" under TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") policies. If the Transaction it successfully completed, it is believed that 3G would be the first Israel-based business listed on a Canadian stock exchange.

About 3G

3G (formerly, Orionsolar Photovoltaics Ltd.) is a developer of dye solar cell ("DSC") photovoltaic modules. DSC technology is a cost-effective alternative to silicon and thin film-based systems, providing a low-cost solar energy solution that produces electricity efficiently even in low light conditions. 3G focuses its efforts to develop DSC modules to serve off-grid markets, mainly in developing countries where in excess of two billion people live without electricity.

3G was incorporated June 24, 2004 under the laws of the State of Israel. Its business operations are conducted through its facility in Jerusalem, Israel. Upon completion of the Transaction, it is anticipated that the resulting issuer will be classified as a research and development issuer by the TSXV.

The issued shares of 3G are owned by thirty-four (34) shareholders. Dr. Jonathan Goldstein (of Jerusalem, Israel), 3G's founder, its president and a director, owns approximately 11% of 3G's shares (fully diluted). Seventeen (17) shareholders (including three 3G employees who own less that 3% of 3G's shares, fully diluted) are individual Israel residents or Israel corporations controlled by Israel residents, who collectively own approximately 22% of 3G's shares (fully diluted). The remaining sixteen (16) shareholders own approximately 66% of 3G's shares (fully diluted). Fifteen (15) of these remaining shareholders are limited liability companies formed under the laws of Delaware (U.S.A.) and controlled by U.S. residents, and one (1) shareholder is an Ontario corporation controlled by a resident of Ontario. Other than Dr. Goldstein, the only shareholder who holds in excess of 10% of 3G's shares is DG-OSP, LLC, a Delaware (U.S.A.) limited liability company, controlled by The Quercus Trust (Newport Beach, California) which owns approximately 17% of 3G's shares (fully diluted).

To date 3G has engaged in the research and development of DSC photovoltaic technology. 3G employs seventeen (17) professionals at its facility.

3G has provided Vesta with audited financial statements (prepared in accordance with Israel auditing standards) for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, which financial statements have been reconciled to Canadian GAAP (both presented in United States dollars). 3G has also provided unaudited financial statements for the 6 month period ended June 30, 2008, which financial statements are also being reconciled to Canadian standards. As at December 31 2007, 3G had total assets of USD$1,514,175 and total liabilities of USD$202,330. For the year ended December 31, 2007, 3G had a net loss of USD$967,255 of which USD$741,079 represented R&D expenditures incurred during the period. As at June 30, 2008, 3G had total assets of USD$1,293,891 and total liabilities of USD$262,390. For the 6 month period ended June 30, 2008, 3G had a net loss of USD$655,726 of which USD$289,435 represented R&D expenditures incurred during the period.

Terms of the Transaction

Vesta is proposing to issue 25,000,00 common shares to holders of 3G shares pro rata (based on the number of 3G shares held) at a deemed price of $0.40 per share, in exchange for 100% of the issued shares of 3G. Upon completion of the Transaction, Vesta will own 100% of 3G. 3G's current business (as heretofore described) will become the business of the resulting issuer.

The Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including but not limited to: (i) both 3G and Vesta completing their mutual due diligence of one another, which due diligence is to be completed within 30 days of the date of the LOI, (ii) negotiation of acceptable definitive share exchange agreement(s) (or other suitable arrangements) between Vesta and each holder of 3G shares, (iii) receipt of all required regulatory approvals (including TSXV approval as noted below), and (iv) Vesta raising sufficient additional funds which, which combined with Vesta's existing funds, will allow it to meet the TSXV's minimum listing requirements upon completion of the Transaction.

21Ventures announces investment in CogniSafe Ltd. - Anti-cheat software provider for online-games

New York, NY and Tel-Aviv, Israel, October 1, 2008 --- 21Ventures, a U.S. based venture capital firm, announced today a seed investment in CogniSafe Ltd. – an Israeli company providing real-time anti-cheat software solution for online games . The funding is earmarked for sales and marketing and ongoing product development. “CogniSafe brings an exciting new approach to solve the cheating problem in online games, a problem which causes significant losses to gaming companies and harms the players ability to enjoy the challenge and adventure of a cheat-free game environment. Just like online banking and commerce services, the online gaming industry is vulnerable to fraud and cheating, but no real time solution has been presented so far to solve the cheating problem. We believe that CogniSafe solution will become the standard in detection and prevention of cheating in online games and we are happy to be among the first to identify CogniSafe potential” said David Anthony, Managing Partner of 21Ventures. The cheating problem in online games causes game providers to remove tens of thousands of paying players every month, due to suspected cheating. The removal is usually done following a complaint from other players, or after a post mortem analysis of player's actions. In addition, a significant number of legitimate players abandon some game titles, and cease paying, when they feel they have been cheated. CogniSafe's solution enables online game providers to detect, in real time, any deviation from proper gaming procedures by the online players, and remove cheaters from participation in the game, thus makes cheating attempts futile and enables other players to continue and enjoy a cheat-free gaming experience. "There is a clear need in the market for a real-time solution that will enable the gaming companies to really understand the magnitude of the cheating phenomena, gather evidence against cheaters, and remove them from the game before they affect the gaming experience for other players ”, said Izik Shimon, CEO of CogniSafe. Izik continues "We are already engaged with several leaders in the online gaming industry, which understand the potential of increasing the integrity of their games and avoiding significant losses, by working with CogniSafe".
