H Power Corp. (Clifton, NJ) reported its fiscal 2002 first-quarter results for the period ended August 31, 2001. For the first quarter ended August 31, 2001, total revenue was $0.4 million, compared with $1.2 million for the same period last year.

Weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding for the quarter were 53,848,992, compared with 41,701,898 in the same period last year. The increase in common shares outstanding is primarily attributable to the company's IPO of seven million common shares conducted in August of 2000.
