(NASDAQ: ULBI) received a contract valued at approximately $3 million from the U.S. Defense Department to purchase equipment and enhance processes to reduce lead time and increase manufacturing efficiency to boost production surge capability of the company's BA-5390/U battery during contingency operations. These operations include periods of war, national emergency, international conflict, natural disasters or an unplanned deployment. Under the contract, Ultralife also will purchase and pre-position critical long lead-time materials and subassemblies. Once the purchases and process enhancements under this contract are completed, which is expected to be by the third quarter of 2006, Ultralife will have the capability to quickly ramp up production of its BA-5390 battery to deliver surge quantities. In the event that a surge is invoked, the U.S. Military would order BA-5390 batteries under Ultralife's existing Next Gen II, Phase IV contract. John D. Kavazanjian, Ultralife's president and chief executive officer, said, "We are pleased that the U.S. Military continues to recognize Ultralife as a valued supplier by providing the capital to support this capacity expansion. This contract will position Ultralife for increased production readiness to meet the U.S. Military's anticipated growing demand for our BA-5390 batteries." The BA-5390/U is a lithium/manganese dioxide non-rechargeable battery with 50 percent more energy and 50% to 100% longer operating time than the lithium/sulfur dioxide BA-5590/U battery. The BA-5390/U is widely used to power more than 50 military applications, such as the AN/PRC-119 SINCGARS (Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System) and the Javelin Medium Anti-Tank Missile Command Launch Unit. The BA-5390/U provides soldiers with the latest and best battery technology. More energy in each battery provides longer mission time with fewer batteries for soldiers to carry, and fewer batteries to ship and dispose of, all of which reduce cost to the military.
