1 Easy access to microsystems production through contract manufacturing services Espoo, Finland June 14th 2011 Smarter sensing solutions Colibrys Foundry presentation: Sean Neylon

2 Business Model The Colibrys business model is based on two elements Development, manufacture and sale of proprietary, high performance MEMS based motion sensors for harsh environment and safety critical applications in Energy, Mil/Aeropsace and Industrial markets Accelerometers Inertial Vibration Tilt Shock Seismic Partially captive foundry - Contract manufacturing of custom MEMS components and microsystems within limits of unused capacities 2

3 Foundry Business Guidelines Processes must be consistent with existing core process capability Medium volume applications - nominally wafers / year Full or partial fab processes Wafer fab chips or fully assembled and tested parts Work only with MEMS mature customers Preferably proven applications Foundry revenue >$6mio/year Production Products: Electro-mechanical Opto-mechanical Radiation sensing 3
