Revenues for the Quantum Fuel Systems operating segment during the quarter were $6.2 million compared to $5.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, representing a 19% increase. This increase is primarily due to higher development program revenues to support hybrid development programs, GM Fuel Cell Hybrid Equinox program and military and aerospace programs. The operating loss for the Quantum Fuel Systems operating segment was $2.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to an operating loss of $3.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. This decrease in operating loss was primarily a result of higher product margins and customer funded development programs covering a significant portion of research and development expenses.

Quantum theory, the branch of physics which is based on quantization, began in 1900 when Max Planck published his theory explaining the emission spectrum of black bodies. In that paper Planck used the Natural system of units he invented the previous year. The consequences of the differences between classical and quantum mechanics quickly became obvious. But it was not until 1926, by the work of Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, and others, that quantum mechanics became correctly formulated and understood mathematically. Despite tremendous experimental success, the philosophical interpretations of quantum theory are still widely debated.

As part of a restructuring of certain debt obligations of TAG, which were guaranteed by Quantum, the TAG operations were transferred and assigned to WB Holdings in full satisfaction of approximately $20.3 million in debt obligations. Also, as part of the restructuring, WB Holdings provided approximately $2.0 million of additional financing to Quantum. The transfer of the Tecstar business segment was structured as a voluntary surrender of assets under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
