For the three months ended March 31, 2009 (the "Period") the Corporation had
operating revenue of $100,231 (2008 - $427,297). Revenues arose primarily from
engineering and process design projects in Europe and the United States. Changes
in Revenue for the period are attributable to the timing of revenue recognition
on ongoing projects.


Commercialization, Product Development and Administrative expenses for the
Period were $827,638 as compared to $439,076 for the same period in the previous
year. The increase in 2009 is primarily attributable to the increase in salary
expenses (additional engineering staff to resource up for upcoming projects),
short term consulting and subcontractor expenditures necessary for investor
relations and development of new collateral, and strategic project branding
work.


Total assets were $28,909,726 for the Period, as compared to $20,513,383 as at
March 31, 2008. The increase in total assets is primarily due to the injection
of funds from the sale of shares which was reinvested in the short term deposits
and long term investments as well as the acquisition of 10,000 common shares of
Global Energy Inc. at a (non-cash) price of $2,017,260. These combined with
amounts generated through operations result in a stronger overall asset
position. Included in total assets for 2009 are short term investments totaling
$8,871,106 in term deposits and accrued interest compared with $4,006,762 in the
previous year. Also included are $358,055 relating to amounts receivable for
government participants in the Hydrogen Demonstration Project as compared to
$230,706 as at December 31, 2008.


For the Period shareholders' equity was $28,485,163 as compared to $20,392,939
as at March 31, 2008. Changes are due primarily to additional capital raised
during the previous year and the effect of current operations.
