Neah Power Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: NPWZ)
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
I am delighted and enthused to update you on our continuing
progress to increase shareholder value. We encourage our
shareholders to visit our website (www.neahpower.com) and view the
corporate video 'About Neah Power Systems' which is a very
informative overview of the Company and the exciting Powerchip™ and PowerPlay™ technologies.
Neah Power continues its aggressive efforts to accelerate the
commercialization of our proprietary and patented fuel cell
technologies that we passionately believe have the potential to
revolutionize the energy storage marketplace. The shipment of our
PowerChip™ system in the second half of 2012, and PowerPlay™ system
in spring of 2013 were milestone events at the Company and we
continue to see the fruits of the $50+ million that have gone into
the Company with concrete progress of commercialization. We now
have an increasing array of committed customers and customer
prospects. Our capital constraints have severely limited our
ability to execute on our business plan, the funding for which we
consistently devote major attention; recent illustrative
achievements are listed below.
- We launched PowerPlay with a paid shipment to a Fortune 110
consumer company. This company is now expanding its interest and by
evaluating the PowerChip technology for a range of different
applications.
- We entered into a mutually exclusive development contract with
Ion Geophysical Corporation to develop a customer-specific product.
The customer has committed to purchase a minimum number of units
over a period of time.
- We intend to update on an ongoing basis high levels of interest
from a range of other defense, aerospace and automotive customers
for the PowerChip products, as well as the large India Defense
entity.
- We continue to grow our IP portfolio with new patents awarded
and applications submitted, which differentiates us from the
competition and enhances our value
- High potential impact discussions are ongoing with a telecom
company for the PowerPlay™ product for consumer cell phone
recharging.
- We have recently been able to successfully remove the
Depository Trust Clearing Corporation (DTCC) trading restrictions
('Chill') that were implemented on the stock.
- On June 26, 2012, we announced an initial order from a Fortune
150, U.S.-based defense supplier, for the Powerchip™ fuel cell, and it has
reiterated its interest in the Company.
- We have two proposals jointly submitted with the previously
mentioned customer for soldier power and unmanned surface vehicle
applications, which we believe is impacted by sequestration.
These are extremely exciting and pivotal times at the company.
Our momentum and progress are strong and increasing. I look forward
to sharing our ever expanding success with you in the weeks and
months ahead as we now execute and commercialize our technology and
enhance shareholder value. I appreciate your patience and continued
support of Neah Power Systems.

President and CEO
