contract with the Hawai‘i Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) of the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa to sup- ply a one-megawatt ALTI-ESS energy storage system for a test of wind energy integration. The system will be installed at the Hawi wind farm on the island of Hawai‘i and connected to the Hawai‘i Electric Light Company (HELCO) utility grid. The equipment purchase and associated service contracts, valued at approximately $1.8 million dollars, require Altairna- no to build, ship, install and commission its ALTI-ESS advanced energy storage system, and provide tech- nical support and system monitoring and reporting over a period of three years. The project is expected to be operational by the third quarter of 2011. http://www.altairnano.com

quarter of 2010. Excluding these unusual items, we generated net income attributable to AMCOL share- holders of $0.21 per diluted share as compared to the prior year amount of $0.31 per diluted share, which has also been adjusted for unusual items.

SCIL (Substrate Conformal Imprint Lithography) with UV curing material. AMO has provided two key components for this development: the master for large-area nanostructures and the UV-curing nanoim- print material AMONIL. The masters, with a size up to 6inch, are fabricated at AMO by laser interference lithography and plasma etching in Silicon. They have perfect binary periodic patterns between 180 to 2.500nm. These holographic gratings are cha- racterized by absolutely seamless patterns and a low defect-density on a large area, due to a special fabri- cation technology. http://www.amo.de
