for the third quarter of 2009. In addition to the mar- gin and operating expense drivers described above, our third quarter 2009 results also benefited from the $0.8 million gain on the sale of our Spectrum com- mon stock. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter were 107.2 milli- on, compared to 105.1 million reported in the third quarter of 2009.
Furthermore, Altairnano announced that Zhuhai Yintong Energy Co., Ltd. (YTE) issued purchase or- ders to Altairnano for an ALTI-ESS advanced energy management system, battery cells, and lithium-tita- nate materials. The purchase order for the ALTI-ESS and battery cells firms up and accelerates delivery for those products as initially described in the recen- tly announced Conditional Supply and Technology License agreement between Altair and YTE. The purchase order for lithium-titanate materials used in the manufacture of batt ery cells remains conditional upon the occurrence of certain events. The orders, valued at $2.2 million, provide that Altair will supply YTE with its 11 amp-hour battery cells and a 1 mega- watt ALTI-ESS energy system before year-end.

45 top international researchers and developers of the ALTANA Group have discussed technical
and commercial developments and future innovative trends at the 3rd ALTANA Innovation Conference in Wesel. The highpoint of the international event was the official recognition of the Group’s best innovation for the year with the “ALTANA Innovation Award”. The winning team this year is from the ECKART divi- sion: Dr. Guenter Kaupp, Dr. Dirk Schumacher, Jens Depner, Michael Gruener and Dr. Ulrich Schmidt. Their innovation is based on a new generation of
patented calcium sodium borosilicate pigments, which are marketed today as MIRAGE effect pig- ments for cosmetics. They differ from conventional pigments based on natural mica through their extra- ordinary sparkle and luster. The extremely smooth coating on the calcium sodium borosilicate creates a very high level of transparency and intense inter- ference colors. MIRAGE effect pigments are suitable for any type of color cosmetics and body care ap- plications such as nail varnish, powders, wax-based systems, emulsions and gels, etc.
The new generation of effect pigments also includes LUXAN Glass Pearls for Industrial Applications. Their high transparency enables them to be combined with any color shade, without impairing the character of the color.
