About PolyFuel

PolyFuel (www.polyfuel.com) is a world leader in engineered membranes that
provide significantly improved performance in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC)
and hydrogen fuel cells, particularly for portable electronic and automotive
applications. The state of the art of fuel cells is essentially that of the
membrane, and PolyFuel's best in class, hydrocarbon-based membranes enable a new
generation of fuel cells that for the first time can deliver on the long-awaited
promise of clean, long-running, and cost-effective portable power.

PolyFuel has an unmatched capability to rapidly translate the system-level
requirements of fuel cell designers and manufacturers into engineered polymer
nano-architectures. Such capability - based on PolyFuel's over 150 combined
years of fuel cell experience, world-class polymer nano-architects, and a
fundamental patent position covering more than 23 different inventions - also
makes PolyFuel an essential development partner and supplier to any company
seeking to advance the state of the art in fuel cells. Polymer electrolyte fuel
cells built with PolyFuel membranes can be smaller, lighter, longer-running,
more efficient, less expensive and more robust than those made with other
membrane materials.

PolyFuel is working with most of the world's leading portable fuel cell system
developers, the majority of whom are household brand name consumer electronics
manufacturers. To-date, every company that has completed their evaluation
testing of PolyFuel's membrane has gone on to purchase PolyFuel's membrane
products. Several of the largest Japanese and Korean consumer electronics
companies rank PolyFuel's membrane as the best portable fuel cell membrane
available in the world today. To date, Sanyo, NEC and Samsung have disclosed
they are using PolyFuel membranes.

PolyFuel was spun out of SRI International (formerly the Stanford Research
Institute) in 1999, after 14 years of applied membrane research. The company is
based in Mountain View, California, and is publicly listed on the AIM stock
exchange in London.
