Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited reported quarterly cash flow report for the period ended 31 March 2013. For the period, the company net operating cash outflow was AUD 6.6 million (GBP 4.4 million) which was approximately AUD 2.0 million (GBP 1.3 million) greater than the two previous quarters principally due to the delay in sales discussed above and the resultant reduction in receipts from customers. Net investing cash flows for the quarter was an inflow of AUD 2.0 million (GBP 1.3 million) arising from the release of AUD 2.2 million (GBP 1.5 million) from a security deposit used to provide a bank guarantee in relation to grant received from the NRW Government in Germany.

Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited announced that the plant's production throughput can be increased above 1,500 units per year without additional capital spending, by operational efficiencies (such as improving processes and production flow, reducing furnace cycle times, loading and unloading times, robot optimisation), more flexible work practices (the plant is currently operating on a single shift); and by continuing to outsource the manufacturing and assembly of components and sub-assemblies. Modest investments in multiple tooling will also increase production levels. To further increase production (funds permitting), the company intends to make further capital expenditures to increase furnace capacity to around 3,000 - 3,500 stacks per year. It is expected that this capital expenditure would be approximately $1.5 million.

Ceramic Fuel Cells Limited received a binding order for 60 integrated mCHP units from German energy service provider EWE. This order starts the final phase of the development and demonstration programme for integrated mCHP generators agreed with EWE in 2010. Delivery is scheduled for June to December 2013.
