Workhorse CEO Steve Burns commented, "We achieved several important milestones this quarter, setting the stage for our planned transition to commercial scale operations. We have continued to focus on delivery of customer orders, improving our supply chain and increasing manufacturing output. The Ryder relationship expands our sales and service capability to fleets of any size, so that we can now offer the E-100 and E-GEN to any fleet operator in North America. In addition, we have received tremendous customer interest in our W-15 pickup truck and SureFly multicopter."

Gross margin was negative $0.7 million for the quarter. Operating expenses for the quarter were $8.5 million, due to increases in research and development, sales and G&A expenses compared to previous quarters.

Cash used from operation year to date was $19.7 million used for working capital, including inventory purchases for our current backlog and R&D expenses primarily related to the development of the mail delivery vehicle and the W-15 pickup truck. On the financing activities, of the $24.6 million raised, the Company received $20.5 million from the stock public offering.
