AOL Inc. (NYSE: AOL, stylized as "Aol.", and formerly known as America Online) is an American global Internet services and media company.[4][5] AOL is headquartered at 770 Broadway in New York.[6][7] Founded in 1983 as Control Video Corporation, it has franchised its services to companies in several nations around the world or set up international versions of its services.[8]
AOL is best known for its online software suite, also called AOL, that allowed customers to access the world's largest "walled garden" online community and eventually reach out to the Internet as a whole. At its zenith, AOL's membership was over 30 million members worldwide,[9] most of whom accessed the AOL service through the AOL software suite.
On May 28, 2009, Time Warner announced that it would spin off AOL into a separate public company. The spinoff occurred on December 9, 2009,[10] ending the eight year relationship between the two companies
A123Systems designs, develops, manufactures and sells advanced, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and battery systems for the transportation, utility and consumer markets.
Business Overview
What makes A123 different from other batteries manufacturer is that they have developed a proprietary technology (first discovered in MIT labs) that uses low impedance Nanophosphate electrode technology. Other battery manufacturer are using lithium-Ion have the desaventage to rely on natural Lithium availability which is limited and are less safe to use as they can catch fire or leak. In terms of performance A123 batteries components are thousands of times smaller than the micron-sized materials used in first generation lithium-ion batteries, A123's chemistry enables it to have twice the power density of competitor products. Other characteristics of the product: 10x longer life, 5x power gains and dramatically faster charge time (more than 90% capacity in five minutes) over conventional high-power battery technology.
A123 is manufacturing its products in China (it owns the facility there), South Korea, Taiwan but also in the United States where it is putting at work the more than $600 million it received in grants, loans or tax credits by the federal and state government to build a state of the art production facility in Michigan.
Its current customers are Daimler, Chrysler, Volvo, Better Place/Renault, Black & Decker, AES and Procter & Gamble’s Duracell unit.
Investors alongside GE, which is A123’s biggest shareholder, include Sequioa Capital, ConocoPhillips, AES, Motorola and P&G. Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin drive electric cars powered by A123 batteries, as does Tom Hanks.
Business & Financial Metrics
In 2009, A123 incurred a net loss of $85.8 million on revenues of $91.0 million. This represents a 6.6% increase in net loss and a 32.9% increase in revenue from 2008, when the company lost $80.5 million on $68.5 million in revenue.[1]
ange of applications, including netbooks and LCDs. During the past three fiscal years, the company has developed over 100 new products each year. Its products have been integrated with products from Asustek, HP, Dell, Samsung, and others. This is a transnational company, performing its R&D in the United States while manufactures the semiconductors in Asia. [1]
Power semiconductors are semiconductors that transfer, manage, and switch electricity. These power semiconductors are either discrete, consisting of a transistor or a few diodes, or an integrated circuit, which will have greater number of transistors. The functions of power transistors are to manage, transfer, and switch electricity to power. According to IC insights, the market for power transistors was $7.5 billion in 2009, expected to grow to $9.2 billion in 2011, which is a CAGR of 10.7%. [1]
The company's initial public offering of stock filed on the NYSE exchange on 31 March 2010. The proposed offer price range is $16.00-$20.00. The company is offering 5 million shares and raising $91 million. [1]
For FY2009 with year ended 30 June 2009, the company reported $185.1 million in total revenue, down from $248.0 million in total revenue for FY2008. Furthermore, the company had a net loss of $716,000, an increase from a [[net income}net loss]] of $25.2 million. The decline in revenue is the result of the global economic recession. The revenues were distributed with 10.5% in power IC and 89.5% in power discrete products
