PENNINGTON, N.J., Apr 17, 2006 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- WorldWater & Power Corp. (OTCBB:WWAT), developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2005.
Fourth Quarter Highlights
-- Project contract signings accelerated, for production in 2006.
-- Executed ground mounting of system for Idyllwild (CA) Water District
and completed the first phase of a 500kW project for the Atlantic
County (NJ) Utilities Authority.
-- Provided a solar-powered mobile water pumping and purification
unit - the MobileMaxPure(tm) - to residents of Waveland,
Mississippi following Hurricane Katrina. Still operating as the
sole clean water source for much of the town's population.
"2005 was a transformational year for the company," declared Quentin T. Kelly, WorldWater & Power Corp. Chairman. "Demand accelerated in the second half, and we continue to build on this success, adding new customers while fully demonstrating our capabilities to existing clients in the agricultural, commercial, and industrial space, who have come to value our proprietary solar variable frequency technology and patented water pumping systems. Customers know that WorldWater offers these key differentiating features in choosing us over other potential suppliers for their solar and water needs.
"We are executing a plan to achieve our 2006 project installation goals, and we anticipate rising revenues as the year progresses - driven by increasing demand, strong customer relationships, and the operational focus of our new interim CEO, Jim Farrin. We expect to start our largest project, a 1.2 MW avocado tree farm, during the second quarter of 2006, after it receives final California permits and approvals. It is an exciting time at WorldWater, and we look forward to the year ahead."
