Zug/Switzerland, 30 April 2014 - iQ Power AG (ISIN: CH0020609688, German
Securities Code Number (WKN): A0DQVL / Symbol: IQPB, ISIN: CH0199540599 /
German Securities Code Number (WKN): A1J7TW), a developer and marketer of
technologies for environmentally friendly and technologically innovative
starter batteries for motor vehicles and licences in these technologies,
has published its figures for the 2013 financial year and announced the
results of the most recent capitalisation measure.

Capitalisation measure
Following the subscription right offer dated 3 April 2014 with the private
placement and exercise of option rights, voting and preferred shares with a
gross value of EUR 1.43 million have been subscribed. Proceeds in the
amount of EUR 1.18 million were allocated to the capital increase
(subscription of 92.5 million voting and preferred shares) and EUR 0.25
million to the exercise of 18.1 million option rights.

The total number of outstanding shares for iQ Power AG increased to some
879.4 million, including 456.9 million common shares (ISIN: CH0020609688)
and 422.5 million voting and preferred shares (ISIN: CH0199540599).

The results do not include additional subscriptions that are pending and
legally binding. These were paid on time, but the funds have not yet been
deposited to the company's account due to technical problems at the bank.

Following the capital increase, the application for stock listing of the
new voting and preferred shares (WKN A0DQVL / ISIN CH0199540599) on the
Baden-Württemberg Stuttgart exchange has been formally revised. This will
not cause a further time delay.

2103 annual report
In the 2013 financial year, consolidated revenues were EUR 15,000 (prior
year: EUR 151,000). As part of its strategic reorientation, iQ Power AG has
not been involved in battery production, trading and sales since the 2012
financial year. The development of licence revenue was impacted by a weaker
than expected start-up at the licensee Smart Battery, USA and years of
slowdown in production at the licensee iQ Power Asia, South Korea. Sales
operations at new licensee Discover Energy resulted in positive, continuous
revenues only after the reporting period - in the first quarter of 2014.

Earnings for the year improved significantly, from a loss of EUR 4.4
million in the prior year to EUR -1.7 million in 2013. The reason for the
improvement was the elimination of one-time restructuring costs. In spite
of extra expenses for development and manufacture of injection moulding
tools for producing iQP-2 mixing components, operating costs increased only
slightly to EUR 1.7 million (2012: EUR 1.5 million).

Overall, the lower losses, the redemption of the convertible bond for
2010-2013 and two capital increases, along with the restructuring measures,
had a major effect on the balance sheet figures. Current assets amounted to
around EUR 0.3 million as at 31 December 2013 (previous year: EUR 1.2
million), while non-current assets were essentially unchanged year-on-year
at EUR 3.4 million as of the balance sheet date (previous year: EUR 3.6
million). Current liabilities declined to EUR 2.2 million (previous year:
EUR 2.8 million), while non-current liabilities decreased from EUR 0.9
million in the previous year to EUR 0.6 million. Reported equity amounted
to around EUR 1.0 million as at 31 December 2013 (previous year: EUR 1.1
million), while total assets amounted to EUR 3.8 million after EUR 4.8
million in the previous year. This resulted in an equity ratio of 27%. Cash
and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 0.1 million at the reporting date
(previous year: EUR 1.0 million).

The 2013 consolidated financial statements of iQ Power AG take into account
all known risks to which the Company is exposed.

In light of the successful realignment of iQ Power AG as a technology
developer and licensor, a vastly streamlined corporate and cost structure,
reinforcement of the capital base with the most recent measures and the
licence income since the first quarter of 2014, the company believes that
it has laid the foundations for successful future development and is
confident about the outlook for the rest of 2014.
