SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — DayStar Technologies, Inc. (DSTI), a developer of solar photovoltaic products based on CIGS thin-film deposition technology, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Net loss for the third quarter of 2009 was $6.2 million or $0.18 per share, compared with a net loss of $6.7 million or $0.20 per share in the third quarter of 2008. The lower net loss reflects the implementation of cost savings measures including a reduction in workforce, and also reflects the decrease in payroll and research and development expenses resulting from the sale of DayStar’s Halfmoon, NY operations early in the quarter. The per share losses were calculated on the weighted average common shares outstanding of 33.4 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared with 33.3 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.
DayStar had cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 million at September 30, 2009, compared with $17.1 million at December 31, 2008. Net property and equipment was $47.6 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $37.1 million at December 31, 2008, reflecting DayStar’s investment in equipment and improvements, as well as progress made on the construction of production equipment during 2009. As of September 30, 2009, DayStar had total liabilities of $23.8 million, and total stockholders’ equity was $26.2 million. During the third quarter of 2009, DayStar received $2.0 million in bridge financing from Mr. Peter Alan Lacey. In order to continue operations and to build-out its initial manufacturing line and commence commercial shipments of its product, DayStar will require substantial additional funds in the near term. For a description of DayStar’s capital resources and additional funding requirements, please refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of DayStar’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier today.
