Executive Summary -Y-Carbon Inc.

Y-Carbon is a nanotechnology start-up based in Keystone Innovation Zone (KIZ), Navy Yard, Philadelphia. As
a spin off from the A.J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute at Drexel University, Y-Carbon has obtained exclusive
rights to intellectual property invented and patented by Prof. Gogotsi’s research team. Y-Carbon’s core mission
is to commercialize its innovative, award-winning (R&D 100, Nano 50TM) platform technology of making novel
nanostructured carbon materials with precisely defined structure, porosity, and surface chemistry. The ability to
tailor the properties of porous carbon material at the nano-scale is unique to Y-Carbon technology and thus
provides a quantum leap in performance in many applications such as supercapacitors, gas (hydrogen,
methane and chlorine) storage, protein filtration, water purification, fuel cell catalysts, etc. The platform
technology took more than 10 years of research work and has resulted in more than 30 journal articles
including papers in Science and Nature, 4 Ph.D. and 2 M.S. dissertations, 11 patents and about 50 invited
presentations and seminars. These applications have enormous business opportunities in the fields of energy
and medicine.

Y-Carbon’s current primary focus is on the near-term commercialization of its innovative technology in a.
energy storage application called supercapacitors. Supercapacitors, which are also called ultracapacitors or
electrical double-layer capacitors, are rechargeable devices for storage of electrical energy. Supercapacitors
are capable of delivering more energy in a short span of time, and have larger cycle life (>500,000 cyles) with
slightly diminished total energy storage, than their battery counterparts. The number of applications where
supercapacitors are preferred over batteries is growing and many applications still remain unexplored. Some
known applications include personal electronic devices, mobile telecommunications, back-up power storage,
VCRs, CD, DVD players, security systems, computers, wind mills, communication equipment, smoke detectors,
electronic toys, electric meters, and peak power sources for hybrid electric vehicles and other electrical
vehicles. Supercapacitors could allow all electronic devices to be charged in less than a minute and unlike
batteries, which start losing their ability to hold a charge after a year or two, they could still be going strong long
after the device is obsolete. However, the share of supercapacitors in the energy storage market is restricted
either by limited energy storage capability or a high price tag. Y-Carbon’s supercapacitor is lighter, capable of
storing more energy and capable of taking or delivering energy faster than any other supercapacitor available
on the market, and it is less expensive than nanotube and other advanced supercapacitors. Y-Carbon
supercapacitors are a game-changing technology and can overcome all major obstacles to widespread
adoption of supercapacitors. The sales of rechargeable batteries are expected to reach $11 B in 2012 from its
current position of $5.5 B. Taking this in to consideration, the total available market for supercapacitors, which
was less than $300 M in 2006, can grow to around $1.6 B by 2012. In the future as Y-Carbon further improves
its technology, it is possible for its supercapacitors to play an equal role as rechargeable batteries, and the
estimated market for supercapacitors can reach $10 B in 2020. Y-Carbon’s supercapacitor technology is
currently at the seed level with basic research, proof of concept and independent verifications completed
successfully.

Bio applications of Y-Carbon’s technology include blood dialysis for the treatment of sepsis, and use as
enterosorbents. Three key medical opportunities exist for Y-Carbon technology: acetaminophen poisoning
(potential revenue: $48 M), acute liver failure (potential revenue: $100 M) and sepsis (potential revenue: $5.7
B). In the US, 2.5 million poison exposures are reported every year. Half of acute liver failure is linked to
acetaminophen overdose.Y-Carbon’s material can remove almost all acetaminophen from the body preventing
organ damage. Proof of concept for this technology has already been demonstrated and Y-Carbon performs
better than the currently existing material by more than 100%. At the stage of liver failure, damage is almost
irreparable and patients have no other choice but to wait for liver transplatation. There is an acute liver
shortage and in most cases people die while waiting for liver transpation. Mortality has been unacceptably high,
as high as 80%. Supporting the patient until a liver donor becomes available is a major challenge. Y-Carbon’s
adsorption filter can work as a liver dialysis filter to help sustain patient life until a donor is available. Sepsis is
deadly and costly. Every day, about 600 and 1400 people die from sepsis in the US and worldwide,
respectively. The annual cost of treating patients with sepsis is estimated at nearly $17 B. Sepsis is
characterized by the unregulated inflammatory response that is driven by cytokines in the blood system. YCarbon’s
hemofilter material is compatible with existing dialysis machine and has proven to remove 99% of
unregulated cytokines. It is the best known material available, outperforming the existing material by more than
5 times.

The founders and technical consultants of Y-Carbon are dedicated professionals with over 100 years of
combined in-depth experience in the field of carbon nanotechnology and its related applications. Y-Carbon
plans to recruit two dedicated teams for supercapacitor and bio applications. Y-Carbon is a portfolio company
of the Pennsylvania Nanomaterials Commercialization Center and The Nanotechnology Institute.
