&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;CHATSWORTH, Calif. &amp;ndash; Sept. 9, 2008 &amp;ndash; Pentadyne Power Corporation, the world leader in flywheel energy storage systems, today announced that the UPS (uninterruptible power supply) division of &lt;a href="http://www.toshiba.com/ind"&gt;Toshiba International&lt;/a&gt; selected Pentadyne as its Vendor of the Year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;The announcement was made by Toshiba UPS Business Unit Manager Greg Mack during the company&amp;rsquo;s annual international sales meeting at Toshiba&amp;rsquo;s sprawling Houston facility where UPS (uninterruptible power supply) systems, motors, drives and other equipment are manufactured. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&amp;ldquo;The value that the Pentadyne clean energy storage product delivered to Toshiba&amp;rsquo;s UPS business last year was unmatched by any other supplier,&amp;rdquo; said Mack. &amp;ldquo;The Pentadyne product sets our offering miles apart from those of our competitors in terms of price, performance and cost to operate. It delivers virtually zero-downtime availability, eliminates all the costs and problems of lead-acid battery banks and is a perfect complement to the industry-leading capabilities of our &lt;a href="http://toshiba.com/ind/product_display.jsp?id1=14&amp;amp;id2=28"&gt;G8000&lt;/a&gt; line of large-scale UPS systems.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;&amp;ldquo;Both our product and the Toshiba G8000 UPS series are exceptionally well suited to the challenging short-burst inrush needs common to medical and broadcast equipment,&amp;rdquo; said Pentadyne CEO Mark McGough. &amp;ldquo;Conventional, battery-based UPS systems are severely challenged by those conditions, but the Toshiba-Pentadyne solution can handle that all day long for decades. That&amp;rsquo;s why we&amp;rsquo;re seeing growing success in those specific applications where we focus with Toshiba.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;Exhibiting at a trade show today&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;Toshiba is exhibiting its G8000 UPS with the Pentadyne flywheel at the &lt;a href="http://www.hcarefacilities.com"&gt;Healthcare Facilities Symposium&lt;/a&gt; in Chicago today and tomorrow. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chatsworth&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, Calif.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &amp;ndash; Aug. 21, 2008 &amp;ndash;&lt;/strong&gt; Pentadyne Power Corporation, the world leader in flywheel energy storage systems, has been named by &lt;a href="http://www.inc.com"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Inc&lt;/em&gt;. magazine&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to its &lt;a href="http://www.inc.com/inc5000/"&gt;Inc. 500 list&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Pentadyne was &lt;a href="http://www.inc.com/inc5000/2008/company-profile.html?id=200801620"&gt;ranked #162&lt;/a&gt; overall among the 500 companies that made the list. Among the top 100 energy companies, Pentadyne was ranked #7. Among businesses in the Greater Los Angeles area, Pentadyne was ranked #12.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Inc.&lt;/em&gt; magazine reports that Pentadyne &amp;ldquo;Designs and manufactures environmentally responsible energy storage products. Pentadyne has tapped into the green economy: its products are an affordable and sustainable alternative to the dozens of environmentally hostile lead-acid batteries commonly used with larger scale uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. Since Pentadyne shipped its first clean energy storage system in 2004 to NASA's Glenn Research Center, its products have amassed over 2 million hours of proven reliable operation in facilities around the world.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;The Inc. 500 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2004 through 2007. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by the first week of 2004, and therefore able to show four full calendar years of sales. Additionally, they have to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent -- not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies -- as of December 31, 2007. Revenue in 2004 must have been at least $200,000, and revenue in 2007 must have been at least $2 million.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hitting the 162 spot on the list of Inc. 500 companies &amp;ndash; and particularly ranking number 7 among all the energy companies on the list &amp;ndash; is amazing,&amp;rdquo; said Pentadyne President &amp;amp; CEO Mark McGough. &amp;ldquo;This is yet another great milestone for Pentadyne and recognition of our tremendous growth over the last few years as we have become the world&amp;rsquo;s leading manufacturer of flywheel energy storage systems.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chatsworth&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, Calif.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &amp;ndash; July 30, 2008 &amp;ndash;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href="http://pentadyne.com"&gt;Pentadyne Power Corporation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;, the world&amp;rsquo;s leading manufacturer of flywheel clean energy storage systems, has eclipsed &lt;a href="http://www.activepower.com"&gt;Active Power&lt;/a&gt; (NASDAQ: &lt;a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ACPW"&gt;ACPW&lt;/a&gt;) as the world&amp;rsquo;s number one producer of flywheel energy storage systems.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;For the first half of 2008, Pentadyne has shipped 34% more flywheel systems than the former market leader, Active Power. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Pentadyne President &amp;amp; CEO Mark McGough said, &amp;ldquo;Pentadyne&amp;rsquo;s growth continues to outpace that of our competitors, thanks to an extremely reliable product that is sold through the top channel partners in the industry.&amp;nbsp;At a challenging time for capital expenditure sales, we are still growing at a rate of over 40%. We set a goal to become #1 in world flywheel sales in 2008, and we are very pleased to have achieved that goal.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Pentadyne systems also offer greater value in terms of energy efficiency &amp;ndash; 90% less standby energy use than that of the Active Power CleanSource flywheel &amp;ndash; and fewer, shorter and far less costly maintenance needs because the service-intensive vacuum pump and mechanical bearings have been engineered out of the product.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&amp;ldquo;Even though our 190-kW product has only been commercially available for just over 24 months, it is an inherently reliable product, and reliability is what customers pay for in the backup power market,&amp;rdquo; said McGough.&amp;nbsp;&amp;ldquo;We expect that our next generation products will see similar market uptake.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Flywheel systems are frequently used as a supplement to or a complete replacement for hundreds of hazardous lead-acid batteries commonly deployed with large-scale UPS (uninterruptible power supply) systems at data centers, hospitals, financial transaction companies and other mission-critical facilities and functions. In these applications, flywheels deliver much higher reliability, uptime availability and cost reduction while being a sustainable, environmentally responsible choice for UPS energy storage.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

    <title>Pentadyne Flywheel Again Wins Top Product Pick from Buildings Magazine</title>
    <link href="http://www.pentadyne.com/site/2008-news/060908.html" rel="alternate"/>

    <content type="html">
&lt;strong&gt;Chatsworth, Calif. &amp;ndash; June 9, 2008&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;ndash; Pentadyne Power Corporation, the world&amp;rsquo;s leading commercial manufacturer of clean energy storage systems using advanced composite flywheel technology, today announced that &lt;em&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.buildings.com"&gt;Buildings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; magazine has again selected the company&amp;rsquo;s &lt;a href="http://pentadyne.com/specs"&gt;VSS+DC system&lt;/a&gt; as a 2008 Editors&amp;rsquo; Choice Top Product Pick. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Buildings&lt;/em&gt; bestowed the same award last year on the Pentadyne flywheel, an affordable and sustainable alternative to the dozens of environmentally hostile lead-acid batteries commonly used with larger-scale uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;This money-saving approach rids facilities of the health and safety hazards of lead-acid battery banks,&amp;rdquo; the magazine states.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Buildings&lt;/em&gt; is a 100-year old publication read by more than 72,000 commercial building owners and professional facilities managers. Its readers are responsible for nearly 4.5 million commercial and institutional buildings nationwide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout the year, &lt;em&gt;Buildings&lt;/em&gt;&amp;rsquo; editorial board maintains a database of innovative and efficient products to help its readers in their responsibilities for building development, construction, modernization, management and operations. The editors reviewed thousands of products and picked the top 100 they felt were worthy of recognition above all others. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Criteria for selection includes aesthetics, ease of use, durability/life-cycle, efficiency, universal appeal and sustainable/green aspects, among others. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Buildings magazine particularly focuses on energy efficient and environmentally beneficial products,&amp;rdquo; said Pentadyne CEO Mark McGough. &amp;ldquo;Our flywheel systems use less than 1/10th the power needed by the nearest competing product. That alone saves thousands of dollars in utility bills and 38,000 pounds of carbon emissions every year for each module deployed. In addition, each Pentadyne system deployed instead of UPS lead-acid batteries prevents battery greenhouse gas emissions as well as the dumping of more than 15,000 pounds of lead and hundreds of gallons of sulfuric acid over the course of its design life.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The list of products is in the magazine&amp;rsquo;s June 2008 issue. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We are pleased to include the Pentadyne VSS+DC system as a Top Product Pick as a solution to improve the energy efficiency and reliability of continuous mission-critical IT and process operations at our readers&amp;rsquo; facilities,&amp;rdquo; said Buildings Editorial Director Linda Monroe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Exhibiting at upcoming trade shows&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.liebert.com"&gt;Emerson Network Power&lt;/a&gt; will be exhibiting the Pentadyne-made &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.liebert.com/product_pages/Product.aspx?id=59"&gt;Liebert FS&lt;/a&gt; flywheel system at the &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.turnerconstruction.com/supplychain/tradeshow"&gt;Turner Logistics tradeshow&lt;/a&gt; in Long Beach, California, June 10 and 11, and again at the &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.ngdcexpo.com"&gt;Next Generation Data Center tradeshow&lt;/a&gt; in San Francisco, California, August 5-7. Also on August 7, &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.toshiba.com/ind"&gt;Toshiba International&lt;/a&gt; will exhibit the Pentadyne flywheel in their booth at the &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.tab.org/convention-and-trade-show/"&gt;Texas Association of Broadcasters show&lt;/a&gt; in Austin, Texas. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Chatsworth, Calif. &amp;ndash; June 4, 2008&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;ndash; Pentadyne Power Corporation, the world&amp;rsquo;s leading manufacturer of clean energy storage systems using advanced composite flywheel technology, announced today that it has signed a 5-year partnership agreement with leading UPS manufacturer &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.socomec.com"&gt;Socomec&lt;/a&gt; for distribution of Pentadyne-made products in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We have been working with Socomec under an MOU for two years now. They have developed strong traction for our product in Europe, with nearly 100 units under their belt to date,&amp;rdquo; said Pentadyne President &amp;amp; CEO Mark McGough. &amp;ldquo;Socomec has done an excellent job in laying the groundwork and growing the market for our product. I&amp;rsquo;m proud to say we are both in agreement that Socomec expects this year to more than double their 2007 order totals.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Socomec Managing Director Pascal Kim.said, &amp;quot;Pentadyne's innovative flywheel power systems fit perfectly with our product and solution strategy of providing our customers with the most advanced, reliable and compact power solutions that meet the demands of today's critical computer networks, financial and industrial electronic systems.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pentadyne flywheel systems are cost-saving, environmentally responsible alternatives to the UPS (uninterruptible power supply) lead-acid batteries commonly used to supply quality power to servers, industrial processes, high-energy medical equipment and other critical functions. Pentadyne is the original equipment manufacturer of the Socomec VSS+DC flywheel clean energy storage system, which Socomec markets with its award-winning DELPHYS line of large-scale UPS systems. &lt;br /&gt;

&amp;ldquo;Socomec makes an exceptionally well-performing line of high-efficiency 3-phase UPS systems,&amp;rdquo; said Pentadyne Vice-President of Sales &amp;amp; Service Johnny Gonzales. &amp;ldquo;Marketing our product to their customer base under their own brand is a testament to the comfort and confidence that this world-class UPS manufacturer has in our product.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The formal partnership agreement grants Socomec exclusive distribution rights for most of the world outside of North America, the latter being served by another world-renowned UPS brand. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Chatsworth, Calif. &amp;ndash; April 30, 2008&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;ndash; Pentadyne Power Corporation, the world's leading manufacturer of clean energy storage systems using advanced composite flywheel technology, announced today that it has shipped its 500th flywheel energy storage system. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, the company announced that the installed fleet of Pentadyne flywheel energy storage systems &amp;ndash; primarily used with large-scale uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems instead of lead-acid batteries&amp;nbsp;&amp;ndash; has amassed a total of two million hours of operation. The company&amp;rsquo;s first commercial installation, at the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cincinnati, has amassed more than 35,000 hours of operation since commissioning in March 2004. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pentadyne President &amp;amp; CEO Mark McGough said, &amp;ldquo;These two significant milestones occurring within a few days of each other underscores the rapid and growing acceptance of our product in the marketplace. UPS users are looking for the most energy efficient reliable alternative to lead-acid batteries, and they are clearly finding it in our product. Considering that we&amp;rsquo;ve shipped nearly 90% of those 500 units in the last 24 months, the growth rate is astounding.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.fiber.net"&gt;Fibernet&lt;/a&gt;, a colocation center based in Orem, Utah, took delivery this week of Pentadyne&amp;rsquo;s 500th flywheel system, which they purchased through the world&amp;rsquo;s leading large-scale UPS manufacturer, &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.liebert.com"&gt;Emerson Network Power/Liebert&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The 500th Pentadyne-made flywheel is the second one purchased by Fibernet, and will be used with a 150-kVA Liebert UPS,&amp;rdquo; said Pentadyne Vice-President of Sales &amp;amp; Service Johnny Gonzales. &amp;ldquo;Their first Pentadyne-made Liebert FS flywheel, which they purchased 12 months ago, has been operating flawlessly with a 225-kVA Liebert UPS at Fibernet&amp;rsquo;s state-of-the-art Class A &amp;lsquo;smart building.&amp;rsquo;&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Fibernet CFO J. Lee Livingston, &amp;ldquo;We were skeptical about flywheels. But the ability to rid ourselves of the hazards, maintenance and poor reliability of lead-acid batteries, coupled with the reliability and lower operating costs of the flywheel were convincing. We now have a year&amp;rsquo;s worth of battery-free and fault-free operation under our belt. So when our growth demanded expansion of our power protection capabilities, it was an easy decision to address that with another flywheel-based UPS.&amp;rdquo; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;About Pentadyne Power Corporation&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Hundreds of award-winning Pentadyne clean energy storage systems are deployed as a part of battery-free UPS solutions at commercial, industrial, hospital and military facilities worldwide. The company&amp;rsquo;s bearing-free, magnetically levitated carbon fiber flywheels are the world&amp;rsquo;s most energy efficient, using 90% less power than other UPS flywheels. Pentadyne systems deliver vastly higher long-term reliability and uptime availability with a fraction of the footprint, weight, maintenance needs and recurring costs of hazardous lead-acid UPS batteries. An ISO-9001-certified company, Pentadyne Power Corporation designs and manufactures its environmentally responsible products at its factory in Greater Los Angeles. &lt;br /&gt;

Since 2003, Campion has been the CFO of Silicon Valley based PolyFuel Inc., a world leader in the development of engineered membranes for fuel cells. Under his direction, PolyFuel was one of the first U.S. companies to consider and successfully execute an initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market in 2005. Since that time, more than 50 U.S. companies have followed suit. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I am thrilled to be joining Pentadyne as its new CFO,&amp;rdquo; Campion said. &amp;ldquo;Pentadyne, with its experienced management team and industry leading technology, is well positioned to assume a dominant role in the emerging clean energy storage space, and I look forward to helping the company realize its full potential.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In announcing the decision to the Pentadyne staff, President &amp;amp; CEO Mark McGough said, &amp;ldquo;After a review of numerous qualified candidates, interviews with our board members, and extensive conversations with the management team, our top choice was Mark Campion. Mark brings 29 years of highly relevant experience to Pentadyne, including a strong corporate accounting and finance background and being part of a successful IPO, along with his CPA qualifications. For some time Pentadyne has been in need of a seasoned CFO with public company experience, and Mark brings this and more as we complete upgrades to the strength and accomplishments of our management team.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Campion&amp;rsquo;s background entails accomplishment in all forms of debt and equity financing, including multiple IPOs, venture capital, bank financing and structured debt instruments. He has practical, hands-on experience with SEC reporting requirements, investor/analyst relations, legal affairs, business development, mergers and acquisitions, strategic negotiations, tax planning and international business. Campion is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley&amp;rsquo;s School of Business Administration and completed the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration&amp;rsquo;s Advanced Executive Management Program.&lt;br /&gt;
