Options give both incentive and lessen the wage cost ... both things in the interests of shareholders, especially before break-even.

In amongst the various items in the report, a quick read that I did of it threw up the following items of interest IMO (although there are no doubt plenty of others which hopefully others will highlight):-

1. Outlook 2009-10 includes "Deploying early BlueGens in the Japanese market"

2. the Top 20 Shareholders:

2a. has Energex as the 5th highest (3.57%) ... are they the undisclosed Aussie utility that CFU are doing a deal with?

2b. still had KBC at 6th place (3.31%), given all of that
selling they were doing at the start of the GFC

2c. appears to be primarily UK vs. OZ, as you would expect (although at some stage I'd like to check out what percentage in the top-20)

Cheers.
