Positive gross margin in eight of last nine quarters
New orders of $25.2 million; greater than 1 to 1 book-to-bill ratio
Record product backlog of $141.1 million at September 30, 2012, up 24% year-over-year
Cash used in operating activities of $2.6 million, compared to $7.4 million a year ago

Management Commentary
"Our second quarter results demonstrate continued progress on our path to profitability," said Darren Jamison, Capstone's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Revenue and gross margin each reached the highest points in company history, and we delivered the third consecutive quarter of record backlog. Order flow was robust, increasing 21% year-over-year and generating a book-to-bill ratio of greater than 1 to 1. Our cash cycle was particularly strong, with improved DSO and inventory turns, and reduced cash burn, and we continue to maintain a healthy cash balance.
"Demand in the U.S. is very healthy, especially in the oil and gas sector as well as in the Eastern region where our products are being used in energy efficiency applications. We received a number of large follow-on orders from key customers for high profile installations in New York City during the quarter. Ongoing momentum in North and South America and the Pacific Rim is offsetting some of the weakness in European markets. With these positive business indicators and our improving financial performance, we feel confident about our continued progress in the second half of Fiscal 2013."

Revenue for the second quarter of Fiscal 2013 was $30.1 million, an increase of 5% from $28.8 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, and an increase of 9% from $27.5 million for the second quarter of Fiscal 2012. Capstone shipped 24.0 megawatts in the second quarter of Fiscal 2013, compared to 25.1 megawatts in the first quarter of Fiscal 2013 and 23.6 megawatts in the second quarter of Fiscal 2012. Average revenue per unit for the second quarter of Fiscal 2013 was approximately $175,000, compared to $176,000 for the first quarter of Fiscal 2013 and $130,000 for the second quarter of Fiscal 2012.

Gross margin for the second quarter of Fiscal 2013 was $2.6 million, or 9% of revenue, compared to $2.2 million, or 8% of revenue, for the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, and $1.7 million, or 6% of revenue, for the second quarter of Fiscal 2012. The year-over-year increase in gross margin of $0.9 million was primarily the result of higher C200 and C1000 Series systems sales volume, increased average selling prices and lower direct material costs.

The Company recorded a non-cash benefit of $0.3 million to change in fair value of warrant liability during the second quarter of Fiscal 2013. Capstone's net loss for the second quarter of Fiscal 2013 before considering the non-cash benefit to the change in warrant liability would have been $6.5 million (calculated by subtracting the $0.3 million change in warrant liability benefit from the $6.2 million reported net loss), or $0.02 loss per share (calculated by subtracting a $0.00 gain per share attributable to the change in warrant liability benefit from the $0.02 loss per share reported).The Company recorded a non-cash benefit of $8.6 million to change in fair value of warrant liability during the second quarter of Fiscal 2012.
