CAP-XX Limited
AGM Statement
Commenting at the Group's AGM in Sydney today, Wednesday November 23rd, CAP-XX Chairman, Michael Quinn said:
"I am delighted to announce that revenues for the first four months of our financial year, to 31 October, are 23% ahead of the corresponding period of 2010/11. Moreover, this growth reflects an underlying 37% increase in product volume and US$ value of sales, before the adverse foreign exchange adjustment. The figures also include a small maiden contribution from the launch of the Murata supercapacitor and I am very encouraged by Murata's plan to ramp up production to one million units a month by the calendar year-end.
I am are also encouraged by the level of interest shown by Automotive Tier-1 suppliers, both from Asia and Europe in our large supercapacitor, developed for automotive stop-start applications. We have successfully demonstrated the product on the European Drive Cycle, showing a material extension to battery life and improvements in starting and sub-zero performance over battery only systems. We are currently examining partnering opportunities for this exciting segment.
Finally we are pleased to announce that Murata has independently verified the performance of our surface-mount (SMD) supercapacitor device for high-volume mobile telephone handsets and other consumer electronic products and we look forward to a successful discussions with parties with respect to licensing production."
