Management is acutely aware of the interest from shareholders for regular updates on the progress of the pilot plant, however the company is also cautious not to create unreasonable expectations, and therefore has chosen to update only when critical milestones have been reached. Currently all plant components are on order and deliveries are beginning to ship.  The company is dependent upon the workflow schedules from vendors/manufacturers, and providing they continue to perform and deliver, as they have to date, CCTI will meet or be slightly ahead of schedule.  The company is projecting the start of the construction in July and delivery of the pilot plant to the coal fired utility in mid August with commissioning to take place in September.  Shareholders can expect to be informed when all component parts have been delivered and construction has commenced. After this, Management will inform the shareholders when the plant has been constructed and is mechanically performing perfectly.
