T3 Motion Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results

COSTA MESA, Calif., Aug. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- www.t3motion.com - T3 Motion, Inc. (NYSEAMEX: TTTM) a producer of clean technology electric vehicles, today announced its financial and operating performance for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Net revenues decreased ($97,566), or (6.8%), to $1,330,966 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of the prior year and decreased ($250,430), or (9.7%) to $2,327,528 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period of the prior year.  The revenue decrease was primarily due to certain customers deferring purchasing decisions, and some orders not being shipped due to either the inability to purchase parts or longer than anticipated lead times from suppliers.  Positive impacts on revenue included expansion into new markets, higher average selling price per unit, and an increase in service and parts revenue.

Despite the shipment delays, the company did not experience any meaningful level of order cancellations.  The shipment delays did result in a significantly higher backlog of orders ($4.4 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $1.0 million a year ago), which the company expects to fulfill in the second half of 2011.  The company expects its order-to-shipment cycle time to return to the standard 4-6 weeks with the increase in purchasing power provided by its recent equity financing.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2011, was ($4,066,650), or ($0.47), per basic and diluted share compared to a loss of ($2,046,496), or ($0.42), per basic and diluted share, for the same period of the prior year.  Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was ($5,572,035), or ($0.81), per basic and diluted share compared to a loss of ($3,127,402), or ($1.16), per basic and diluted share, for the same period of the prior year.

As of June 30, 2011, the company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.3 million, compared to $134 thousand as of December 31, 2010, reflecting the proceeds of a public offering in May 2011 and the use of the proceeds thereof to retire debt and fund inventory. Total liabilities as of June 30, 2011 were $3.2 million, compared to $19.3 million as of December 31, 2010.

"During the quarter and through July, prospects for our T3 personal mobility vehicle continued to be encouraging.  Orders from existing customers remain solid, and we are excited by the receipt of a high profile order to provide security vehicles for the 2011 Formula One race in Singapore," said Ki Nam, Chief Executive Officer of the company.  "We also established a new distribution relationship in Egypt, and introduced an automated license plate recognition system that can be sold with new vehicles as well as retrofitted onto the existing fleet in the field."

Mr. Nam continued, "Furthermore, we are confident in the long-term growth opportunity presented by our R3 consumer electric vehicle following completion of the prototype in early April. We are developing production and distribution relationships that should enable us to begin production of this stylish and environmentally responsible vehicle in 2012."
