About CTC:

Composite Technology Corporation, based in Irvine, California, USA, develops, manufactures and sells innovative high performance electrical transmission and renewable energy generation products through its subsidiaries:

--  CTC Cable Corporation produces composite rod for use in its
    patented ACCC* (Aluminum Conductor Composite Core) conductors, which are
    "high efficiency conductors" for use in electrical transmission grid
    systems.  ACCC conductors demonstrate less electricity line losses when
    compared with conventional conductors and when deployed in place of
    conventional conductors on existing systems, the higher efficiency of ACCC
    conductors enables power generators to reduce the amount of power they must
    generate while still delivering the same power to the customers.  They have
    also demonstrated significant savings in upgrade capital costs and
    operating expenses when substituted in grid systems for other conductors.
    ACCC conductors enable grid operators to reduce blackouts and brownouts,
    providing a 'reserve electrical capacity' by operating at higher
    temperatures without significant thermal sag of the lines. ACCC conductors
    are an innovative economical solution for reconductoring power lines,
    constructing new lines and crossing large spans. ACCC composite core is
    delivered to qualified conductor manufacturers worldwide for local ACCC
    conductor production and resale into local markets.

--  DeWind Inc. designs, produces, and sells the DeWind series of
    wind energy turbines, including the new 2 megawatt (MW) D8.2 model
    available in both 60Hz and 50Hz; the 2MW D8 model in 50Hz; and the 1.25MW
    D6 model in 50Hz. The new D8.2 has been operating since early 2007 at
    Cuxhaven, Germany, and utilizes the advanced WinDrive® hydrodynamic
    torque converter developed by Voith AG in combination with a synchronous AC
    generator with high voltage output that is connected directly to the grid
    without the use of power conversion electronics. The first 60Hz D8.2 is now
    operating at Sweetwater, Texas, where it will initially be used for
    demonstration to North American customers. DeWind D8.2 turbines are now
    being assembled at TECO Westinghouse Motor Co., in Texas for our North and
    South American customers.
