Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, this presentation contains forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions made by management regarding future circumstances over which the company may have little or no control and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the following: future financial performance indicating expected cash flow, the ability to reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies, revenue growth and increased sales volume, or success in key markets, our ability to enter into relationships with partners and other third parties, delivery and deployment of PowerBuoys®, increasing the power output of our PowerBuoys and hiring new key employees and expected costs of our PowerBuoy product, and building strong long-lasting customer relationships. Many of these risks are discussed in our recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Wave Energy Near Population Centers

2TW of energy, the equivalent of twice the world’s electricity production, could be harvested from the world’s oceans (World Energy Council)

Attractive Wave Energy Levels

10

Wave Energy and the Advantages of OPT’s Systems

Wave energy is the most concentrated form of renewable energy:Widespread throughout the U.S., U.K, Europe & other parts of the worldClose to population centersPredictable & dependable, and can be fed into the power grid or storedRelatively small “footprint” – 300 sq miles of ocean area off California is estimated to be capable of producing electrical power needs for all of California’s homes

Using OPT’s PowerBuoy® technology to convert wave energy to electrical energy has several advantages:

Load factor of 30-45% versus solar and wind load factors of 10%-35%Environmentally benign & non-polluting: no exhaust gases, no noise, minimal visibility from shore, safe for sealifeScalable to high capacity power stations (100MW+)

in Production

PB1502007

PB5002010

(Drawn to scale)

12

PowerBuoy system is based on ocean-going buoys, and is primarily below the ocean

surface

Extensive in-ocean experience, including successfully withstanding hurricanes and

winter storms

Electronic “tuning” capability to optimize power output in changing wave conditions

Certified grid connection system

Independent environmental assessment resulted in “Finding of No Significant Impact”

Strong partners (Iberdrola, Total, Scottish Government, US Navy, PNGC Power)

Strong capital base

Competitive Advantages

13

Survivability

Operating range 1.5 to 7m

Automatically detunes between 4 to 7m

Automatically locks up for storm and hurricane wave conditions above 7m

Automatically unlocks when waves less than 7m

Designed to survive 100 year storm wave conditions

– 24m - Orkney Islands, Scotland

– 20m - Bay of Biscay, Spain

– 18m - Oregon and Cornwall

– 16m - MCBH Hawaii

Lloyds has provided OPT, since 1999, commercial insurance for loss or liability for PowerBuoys operating in Atlantic and Pacific

Demonstrated survivability in two separate hurricanes
