6. Chairman’s Address
California Energy Commission (CEC) and Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) - delivered the second of our 500kWh energy
storage system in April 2007 and by October 2007 that system had completed all grid interactive testing and evaluation as
a peak shaving asset. ZBB has enjoyed a small extension to our CEC contract this year that provides for the in-house testing
of both of the systems during the period that PG&E is upgrading the San Ramon site and selecting the next sub-station site
for both systems to be relocated for parallel operation.
Commenced work on a new contract with the Australian Government and the Australian science research agency, CSIRO
for the design, construction and installation of our systems into a “renewable energy” building in Newcastle, Australia.
January 23, 2008 ZBB announced that its Systems Engineering group will begin testing of a standard 50kWh energy
storage module, integrated with an Eaton Powerware UPS being supplied by Eaton Corporation’s Innovation Center. Testing
of the integrated systems will be conducted at ZBB by engineers from both groups.
May 30, 2008 shipped our first ZESS 50 product to China to be installed into the Future House USA (FHUSA) concept
house that was showcased during and after the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Based on the success of this Beijing project
the Company intends to accelerate its initiatives in this important market.
July 24, 2008 announced a memorandum of understanding with Envision Solar International to provide energy storage
systems as part of the “LifeVillageTM” solar project in Cote d’Ivoire on the west coast of Africa. LifeVillageTM will incorporate
ZBB’s energy storage system along with roof mounted photovoltaic panels designed to provide a reliable source of electric
power to remote areas. The prototype will be built and initially demonstrated in the United States and then shipped to
Cote d’Ivoire. It is anticipated a government sponsored pilot program to install this integrated system in up to 100 villages
throughout Cote d’Ivoire. The partners also anticipate following installations in other Central and West African countries.

7. Chairman’s Address Continued
August 6, 2008 entered into sales distribution agreement with New Age Energy, Inc and will partner with New
Age to initially supply its ZESS 50 systems (4) for the Zero Net Energy visitors center at Rutgers University.
September 19, 2008 announced that it will co-share with Eaton Corporation (Eaton) a $229,000 grant from
the State of Wisconsin to develop a power conversion and energy storage system that manages energy from
renewable energy sources. The grant will assist ZBB and Eaton in developing a rechargeable energy storage
system that will be compatible with both grid and solar power. Under the grant ZBB will supply three ZESS 50
energy storage modules, totaling 150 kWh of storage capacity. Eaton will develop a unique hybrid power
conditioning system to match with the three ZESS units
In January 2008 Mr. Scott Scampini joined us as our Chief Financial Officer.
in January 2008 Mr. Kevin Dennis joined us as our Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
In February 2008 we registered certain trade marks for the marketing of our products under the name ZESS,
for Zinc Energy Storage Systems. ZESS 50 and ZESS 500 represent our 50kWh and 500kWh products and ZESS-
Power is our generic description for the operation of these systems
ZBB has received increasing local, national and international publicity for the ZESS products and senior
management have been involved in regular series of conferences, trade shows and investor presentations
throughout the year, all of which has raised significantly the profile for ZBB and its ZESS products.
