In addition to the confirmed orders, the Company expects to deliver a significant amount of systems in 2019 under the Framework Agreement announced on October 1, 2018.

Positive visibility to order flow delivery affirms expectations for the second quarter of 2019 revenue to surpass the first quarter of 2019, setting another new record for the company.

Management Commentary

"The interest in LiqTech's proprietary ceramic silicon carbide water filtration systems for marine scrubber applications is extremely high," commented Sune Mathiesen, CEO of LiqTech International. "During the last couple of months, we made significant progress increasing our confirmed order backlog, which now stands at more than 110 confirmed water filtration systems, and successfully ramping up our manufacturing capacity to meet this increased demand. Further, the market dynamics continue to favor our solutions, as this week China banned the use of open loop scrubbers, following the path that Singapore implemented late last year. We believe this will continue to drive increased demand for closed loop and hybrid scrubbers, which include a water treatment option."

"We continue to be ideally positioned to capitalize on IMO 2020 with a superior product offering, attractive value proposition to marine vessel operators, strong partnerships with leading scrubber manufacturers, and positive industry trends towards the use of water treatment options to accompany marine scrubbers. We are carving a path to a market leadership position and look forward to the continued growth in our business in the coming years," concluded Mr. Mathiesen.
