Product Development: During Q4, 2012, the Company submitted their STX inverter platform for certification in North America and Japan. These certifications are on track and when completed Sustainable Energy will have the only low voltage inverter platforms certified for use in Japan, Germany, and North America. The STX platform is designed from the bottom up to enable a highly competitive OEM strategy

Outlook for 2013

"We believe that the potential for our energy storage inverter will be the single biggest contributor to shareholder value in 2013, commented Michael Carten CEO of Sustainable Energy Technologies. "Grid tied energy storage for residential, and small commercial applications, is a market that is about to break open in Germany and Japan driven by escalating grid prices and falling solar electricity costs. Using Photon International demand forecasts we estimate the value of the market in Germany Japan and the US at more than $6.5B over the next four years "

"In Germany we are already in discussions with the companies which we believe will be the market leaders with a view to embedding our platform in their product design. We are optimistic that we will meet our goal to secure OEM partnerships with companies representing a market share of better than 30%

We believe that success in Germany will lead to success in Japan which is lagging Germany in product development and will position Sustainable Energy's energy storage platform as a market leader.

Product sales revenues from solar in 2013 will be based on expanding the partnerships with Solar Frontier and EECOL that were put in place during Q1 2013. Our goal is to build out the Solar Frontier model in Japan as soon as the STX platform is certified and to partner locally to build a "made in Japan" inverter for this and other applications. We believe that we are able to build out the EECOL model in Canada and extend that model to the US market.

Sales Revenues Sales for the year ended September 30, 2012 were $3,313,134 compared to $3,867,910 for the year in 2011 a decrease of 14%.
