Fellow Shareholders,

Ten days ago, in a letter to Applied Energetics (AE) shareholders, management set forth a number of short-term action plans that would be needed for the successful reconstitution of the company. Since that time, the company has been actively addressing many of these matters in order of importance.

In summary, AE’s executive team is committed to providing full transparency and updates with respect to important events of the company. Our immediate goal is to leverage the current strength of our patent portfolio and executive team’s experience to develop a product road map that enables Applied Energetics to engage with clients on existing and new technologies going forward.

Sincerely,

Thomas C. Dearmin
CEO of Applied Energetics, Inc.
