Raser Technologies, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2006 Financial Results

PROVO, Utah--Raser Technologies, Inc. (NYSE Arca: RZ) (Raser), a technology licensing company established to develop and license advanced electric motor, controller and related technologies, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

During the third quarter, we successfully added heat transfer technologies to our portfolio through the settlement of our attempted acquisition of Amp Resources, said Raser Chief Executive Officer Brent M. Cook. Amp Resources is a developer of renewable energy power plants and licensor of cleantech power generation technologies headquartered in Draper, UT. We believe these technologies will complement our AC induction based Symetron technology within the power generation industry, and as a result, will accelerate our progress in expanding customer acceptance of our technologies within the Transportation, Industrial and Power Generation marketplace.

Raser has formed a special market development team to educate the transportation industry about the benefits of our Symetron technology in support of our efforts to promote the benefits of our technology and capabilities to the transportation marketplace, said Raser President Patrick Schwartz. Recent independent testing found that a Raser-designed brushless alternator had outputs ranging up to 56% greater than a standard heavy-duty alternator. In addition, the P-50, our Symetron-enabled integrated starter alternator (ISA) and the springboard of our product development in the transportation sector was recently named Drive System Technology Innovation of the Year by Frost & Sullivan and remains a highly visible testament to our technological achievements. We expect to continue discussions with automotive suppliers throughout the fourth quarter of 2006 to establish how our technology can best be incorporated into their products.

Raser announced a new 100-kilowatt AC induction based electric motor design called the Symetron P-100 in a press conference at the 22nd Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS-22) held October 23-28, 2006 in Yokohama, Japan.

For the third quarter of 2006, Raser reported a net loss of $5.9 million, or $0.12 per common share, compared to a net loss of $2.5 million or $0.05 per share, for the third quarter of 2005.

Raser ended the third quarter of 2006 with cash and cash equivalents of $5.5 million and no long-term debt. In addition, Raser anticipates full payment of the outstanding $5.8 million note receivable and related interest from Amp Resources on March 1, 2007.
