LONGMONT, Colo.--()--UQM Technologies, Inc. (NYSE MKT: UQM), a developer of alternative energy technologies, today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Total revenue for the quarter was $741,000 compared with $1.0 million in the same quarter last year. Net loss for the first quarter was $2.2 million, or $0.06 per common share. This compares to a net loss of $1.3 million, or $0.03 per common share for the same period last year. As of June 30, 2015, cash was $5.6 million and working capital was $13.8 million.
