Benzinga's Microcap Movers for Tuesday May 22, 2012

Below are highlights from Benzinga's daily coverage of microcap securities making big moves:

Shares of ECOtality

, the San Francisco, CA clean electric transportation and storage technologies, rose 15.20% Tuesday on 20 times the average daily volume. ECOtality, a leader in clean electric transportation and storage technologies, reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012 on Monday. Revenue in the first quarter of 2012 increased 215% to a record $13.7 million, as compared to $4.3 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in revenue was largely attributed to the continued roll out of network infrastructure for the EV Project and by a Blink® network licensing agreement. The EV Project is a public-private partnership with the Department of Energy that seeks to develop, implement and study techniques for optimizing the deployment of a commercially viable EV charging infrastructure. The first quarter of 2012 represented the company's first profitable quarter, which was driven primarily by EV Project revenue and a Blink® network licensing agreement. Net income in the first quarter of 2012 was $1.2 million or $0.04 per basic and diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $6.8 million or $(0.51) per basic and diluted share in the same year-ago quarter.
