CAP-XX Signs Contract With Polar Twin Advance to Expand Production Capacity

Sydney, Australia – March 1, 2005 CAP-XX Inc., a leader in supercapacitor technology for wireless and portable devices, announced today a contract with Polar Twin Advance (PTA) of Penang, Malaysia that will significantly expand production capacity for CAP-XX's ultra-low equivalent-series resistance (ESR) prismatic supercapacitors. PTA's expertise in packaging, manufacturing and materials will also allow CAP-XX to develop both smaller and surface-mount packaging options for its next generation of products.

According to Anthony Kongats, CEO of CAP-XX, “Polar Twin Advance is an excellent partner as they have leading-edge experience in semiconductor packaging and materials plus offer proven manufacturing technology. PTA's capabilities will allow us to improve our existing products plus develop future supercapacitors that continue to push the envelope in power solutions for increasingly smaller and more functional devices."

S.Y. Lee, CEO of PTA, stated, “CAP-XX is a leader in supercapacitor technology which is an ideal complement to our areas of expertise. CAP-XX has a strong customer base yet also a large untapped market that we feel will benefit from our cooperation."

Ensuring Non-Stop Supply to Customers

Initially, PTA will replicate CAP-XX's current line at their Penang location using the same equipment and processes used at CAP-XX's Sydney facility.

PTA's first production is expected to ship in Q3'2005. The company expects PTA's output to reach that of CAP-XX by Q4'2005, doubling current capacity, and will scale it thereafter to meet market demand.

CAP-XX will continue to produce the same products at its facility in Sydney.

About Supercapacitors and CAP-XX Supercapacitors

With their high power and energy densities, supercapacitors provide the high burst power required, for example, when taking a digital photo, sending wireless phone or PDA transmissions, providing back-up energy or hot-swapping battery packs.

CAP-XX has pioneered supercapacitor technology that leads the industry in energy density by combining high capacitance and low internal resistance in a thin and flat package. This has enabled manufacturers to overcome previous power limitations and design smaller, thinner, longer-running GPRS/EDGE/3G communication devices such as smartphones, PDAs, and PCMCIA and Compact Flash modems. CAP-XX is also enabling emerging medical and consumer applications such as White LED flash in cell phones and digital cameras.
