MagnaDrive Recognized for Second Consecutive Year as One of America’s
Fastest Growing Private Companies

Growth Confirms Value Offered By MagnaDrive’s Technology

Bellevue, Washington, May 15, 2006 – MagnaDrive Corporation
announced today that the company was honored by Inc. Magazine as
one of the fastest growing private companies in America for the
second consecutive year.

The twenty-fourth annual Inc. 500 rankings were based on the
percentage growth in revenue over the last three years. MagnaDrive
achieved over 340% growth during this period – averaging more than
100% growth in sales each year.

“It’s fantastic that the hard work of the MagnaDrive employees and distributors is again generating this
kind of national recognition from such a prestigious source,” stated Jim Cich, President & CEO of
MagnaDrive Corporation. “It is an honor to lead an organization filled with such energetic and capable
colleagues.” Cich commented that a key element of MagnaDrive’s extraordinary growth rate was the
unique value offered by its technology. “MagnaDrive’s revolutionary disconnected torque-transfer
technology reduces total cost of ownership by lowering maintenance and operating costs, increasing
process availability, and improving system reliability.”

“With unprecedented global competition, companies have to be able to turn on a dime and discover
innovative new ways of doing business,” said Jim Melloan, project manager for the Inc. 500.
“Increasingly, it’s the smaller, agile companies like those on the Inc. 500 that are best equipped to meet
these challenges.” Current industry powerhouses to make past Inc. 500 lists include Microsoft,
Timberland, Oracle, Dominos Pizza, E*Trade and Intuit.
