`CMR Fuel Cells successfully demonstrates fuel cell system prototype for Asian 
                                     ODM' 
 
CMR Fuel Cells plc, the specialist developer of high power density fuel cell 
stacks and systems for portable electronics applications, is pleased to 
announce that it has successfully demonstrated the first prototype of its 
hybrid fuel cell power supply system to a leading Asian Original Design 
Manufacturer (`ODM'). The two companies are collaborating in the design and 
development of a stand-alone hybrid power system using both a battery and 
Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (`DMFC') charger. 
 
The DMFC System being developed by CMR functions with a battery being developed 
by its ODM partner and is designed to provide over eight hours of 
grid-independent power for a notebook computer from a single fuel cartridge; 
removing any reliance on mains electricity during its operational period.

About CMR Fuel Cells plc 
 
CMR Fuel Cells plc is a UK AIM-listed developer of fuel cell `stacks' and 
systems for portable and small stationary power generation applications. The 
Company is targeting the consumer electronics industry where there is growing 
demand for new power solutions which are longer running than today's Lithium 
batteries. 
 
This demand is being driven by the increasing power requirements of portable 
electronics devices which have outgrown incremental improvements in the 
performances of traditional batteries. As a result, consumer frustration with 
short 'run-time', `return to mains' recharging and questionable battery safety 
is compelling the electronics industry to develop and deploy suitable 
alternatives for power delivery. 
 
Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (`DMFC') power systems can deliver longer electrical 
equipment run-times than conventional batteries as well as delivering other 
superior performance features such as `instant recharge anywhere', which are 
ideally suited for modern feature rich, `always on, always connected' wireless 
devices. 
 
CMR is based in Cambridge, United Kingdom and is listed on the London Stock 
Exchange, AIM market as CMF.L
