CAP-XX Ltd, up 38% at 0.55 pence, 12-month range 0.36p-2.9p. After dropping sharply on Wednesday amid developments in ligation with Maxwell Technologies Inc, the designer and manufacturer of supercapacitors and energy management systems updates on the case. Notes Maxwell has applied for extension to lodge application to claim costs from the firm. Says claim would cover court-related costs only, without legal or expert witness expenses. "This filing was procedural and does not substantively impact CAP-XX and only came to the attention of the company and board in the latter part of last week," it says. Firm is in negotiations to ensure the potential claim and all other litigation matters are "resolved in a cost-effective manner as soon as possible". Also says current outstanding orders continue to increase, totalling USD1.3 million currently, of which USD800,000 is expected to be shipped in the current financial year. Is "pleased" with the level of business activity, given this period typically sees slow order intake. The stock remains down 20% over the past week, however.
