Revenue in the third quarter of 2011 was $225,000, up 64% from $137,000 in the same year-ago quarter, as the company emerges from its development stage to initial commercial sales.

Financial Guidance
For the fourth quarter of 2011, the company expects revenues of $200,000 to $220,000.

Management Commentary
"The substantial increase in revenue over the same year-ago quarter reflects the increasing market penetration of our revolutionary ORCA Green Machine," said Nate Baker, president and interim CFO of Totally Green. "This growth is largely attributed to our 90% pilot conversion ratio for the ORCA Green Machine, which includes the continued adoption by one of the nation's largest wholesale clubs, as well as further traction in our government, hospital and university verticals.

"During the quarter, several new commercial targets approved our technology for company-wide adoption, and we expect purchase orders in the near future. Also in the pipeline are several new pilot trials, including one of the largest supermarket chains in the U.S.

"Meanwhile, we are in advanced discussions for strategic business partnerships with one of the world's largest dining service contract companies and a major Canadian waste management service company. A pilot trial with another U.S. military branch is also in the works. This activity demonstrates customer interest in our products is strong and growing, and that we are enjoying tremendous momentum going into the New Year. In fact, our certification for the ETL product safety mark is expected in January, which we believe will help further drive sales.

"In line with our previously announced plan to eventually become a fully reporting company with the SEC, we recently completed an independent audit of our 2009 and 2010 financial statements. These are available on our website starting today. We anticipate our first SEC filings will be completed in 2012, and for this to coincide with our up listing to the OTCQX or NASDAQ stock exchange. We plan to provide a review of our Q4 and full year 2011 on our next investor conference call in late February. This will include our objectives and outlook for 2012, as well as an update on some very big customer wins we're currently pursuing."
