Ovonic Materials Division Accomplishments

Because of our worldwide intellectual property (IP) portfolio and our cutting-edge nickel metal hydride (NiMH) technology, Ovonic Materials Division has licensed every major manufacturer of NiMH batteries. All of these licensed manufacturers (see attached) use Ovonic NiMH technology.

Increased royalty revenue is due to the following two main components:

1. Rapidly growing sales of consumer NiMH batteries (as displayed and sold in your local retail stores)
2. Rapidly growing sales of hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) batteries

ECD Ovonics' NiMH technology position and IP portfolio has been the vehicle for obtaining our 50% equity interest in our NiMH manufacturing joint venture, Cobasys LLC. ECD Ovonics has provided Cobasys with its competitive marketplace advantage because of the following:

 
1. Cobasys has been granted the exclusive worldwide right to sell HEV and other types of NiMH batteries.
2. Cobasys has been granted the exclusive right to sub-license proprietary Ovonic NiMH technology in the market segments that it serves.

The Ovonic Materials Division has developed advanced metal hydride and nickel hydroxide products and processing technologies. The nickel hydroxide manufacturing businesses presents the opportunity for growth and revenue generation because our technology offers our customers cost and performance advantages.
