December 2010 - Quarterly Activities Summary

Recorded sales for the December 2010 quarter exceeded $700,000 which is the highest quarterly sales since the September 2009 quarter and more than double the September 2010 quarter sales. Sales for the quarter were split evenly between Australia and China.

The December 2010 quarter had a number of positive developments which will continue into the future. High quantities of sales and advanced sales schedules of spares and consumables to France have recommenced; another 100 hybrid natural gas vehicle system (“NGVS”) kits were delivered to Deutz Dalian Engine Co Ltd (“DDE”) Advanced Engine Components Ltd’s (“ACE”) largest customer in China; orders for engines with ACE NGVS were received from Thailand as the first part of a very large order; a contract for converting further Transperth buses in Perth, Western Australia, to the ACE NGVS system commenced; components for over 750 vehicles have now been delivered to India with scheduled increases for future deliveries; engine developments in China progressed; and joint presentations between ACE and Norinco Equipment to potential large China export customers advanced.

However, delays in customer receipts; high cost of letter of credit funding; high cost of components to meet short delivery time frames ; high import and customs duties into India; delays in converting China opportunities to sales; development delays; and the high ongoing research and development cost, continue to have a negative impact on the Company’s operating cash flow.

With the negative operating cash flow the working capital financing facility provided by ACE’s major shareholders in November 2010 has been depleted more quickly than forecast.

To move to a breakeven cash flow the Board of ACE must change the corporate and management structures; change the financing; and change the strategy for ACE in China. In addition, with the margins on sales to India, based on high volumes, the Board and ACE management must immediately address the high cost of component purchasing, duties and financing associated with the existing contract.
