As a result, all of our resources have been devoted to procuring new contracts pursuant to the new strategy. However, due to our constrained resources, we have been unable to progress with our existing Energy Efficiency and energy management projects as quickly as we had previously hoped. As we proceed with our new business strategy, we hope to continue to enter into new Energy Efficiency agreements in the 2013 fiscal year and secure additional business opportunities in the Energy Efficiency solutions market from new and existing partners, as well as progress with our existing projects, subject to the availability of sufficient financial resources. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into any such new agreements or that any such agreements will be on terms favorable to us.
