Due to the recent OTCBB changes, many OTC market-makers have moved to OTC Markets due to cost savings. OTC Markets is an electronic platform. When the last market maker of a particular stock moves from the OTCBB to the electronic platform of the OTC Markets, certain websites such as Yahoo assume the OTCBB stock is abandoned and relegates the stock to "pink sheet" status. This can cause confusion to investors and gives the appearance that the Company's stock isn't trading. SSIE, along with several hundred other companies, have been moved from OTCBB to OTC markets in 2011 due to this change at OTC. SSIE is now quoted as an OTCQB stock according to OTC Markets.
"SunSi is current with its SEC Filings and is a full reporting company," stated David Natan, SunSi's Chief Executive Officer. "We want to assure our shareholders that our business plan to acquire, and expand trichlorosilane (TCS) producing facilities in China, is on track. We expect to announce our operating results for our third fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2011 at the end of next week. "
About SunSi Energies Inc. ("SunSi")
SunSi's goal is to acquire and develop a portfolio of high quality trichlorosilane producing facilities that are strategically located, and possess a potential for future growth and expansion. SunSi now controls approximately 50,000 MT of TCS production which is believed to be the largest TCS only company in China.
Relatively unknown, but essential to the solar industry, TCS is a chemical primarily used in the production of polysilicon, which is an essential raw material in the production of solar cells for photovoltaic (PV) panels that convert sunlight to electricity for homes, businesses and farms. TCS is considered to be the first product in the solar PV value chain before polysilicon, and is also the principal source of ultrapure silicon in the semiconductor industry. It is believed that SunSi will become the first and only "pure play" public company in the world focusing exclusively on the production and sales of TCS.
