CEO Update
September 26, 2011

When I first came to Torvec late last year, I said that it would take me 6 to 9 months to know whether we really have the ability to turn exciting technologies into real products that create value to our customers, generate profit and growth for us, and do something good for the world.  At that time, we raised $2 million to start that process.  My thought was that those funds would last us about one and a half years.  Unfortunately, there were some surprise expenses and costs incurred due to decisions made in previous periods.  This means the funds we raised will only last approximately one year.  The good news is that we have made tremendous strides during that time on both our IsoTorque® differential and our Rota-Torque™ hydraulic pump.  Our engineers and I believe that we can create some breakthrough products.
