Company Update

The Company continues to seek financing for its operations and its technology development; however, due to the financial constraints during the past seven months, the Company has now reduced its workforce and other related expenditures where possible as part of the cash management program it previously disclosed in its financial statements for the six months ended March 31, 2015. The Company will require additional financing to continue the development of its capacitor technology.

Mr. Ian Clifford, CEO and Founder stated, "It's been a challenging quarter for the Company. We continue to make progress with our breakthrough technology and are pleased with our Phase 3 results announced on August 12, 2015. While joint venture discussions continue, the financial markets have been challenging in securing operational funds. There are promising discussions presently underway and we are hopeful that we will convert these discussions into financial investment."

At the request of two potential joint venture participants, the Company recently provided a number of samples of high voltage robotically produced prototypes. In order to facilitate the assessment of EEStor's technology breakthroughs by engineering teams, the Company has made available its technology testing consultants to act in a consultative role on an as requested basis.

About EEStor Corporation

The Company's mission is to be the provider of leading edge electrical energy storage and related capacitor technologies. The Company operates on the principle and belief that a fundamental breakthrough in energy storage will be the catalyst for positive environmental and economic change globally. The Company's current business strategy is focused on licensing and partnership opportunities across a broad spectrum of industries and applications building on its recent technology achievements related to capacitors.

The Company holds an approximate 71.3% as-converted equity and voting interest and certain technology rights to a solid-state capacitor and related energy storage technologies currently under development by EEStor, Inc. ("EEStor"). The acquisition of the controlling interest in EEStor aligned the businesses of both companies and now allows EEStor Corporation to benefit from other revenue streams that should be available to EEStor, including applications throughout the capacitor industry and not limited to high density energy storage applications.

The Company's success depends on the commercialization of EEStor's technology. There is no assurance that EEStor will be successful in the completion of the various enhancement phases to warrant the anticipated licensing opportunities in the technology.
