Phelps, NY - August 21, 2006 - BEAR Power Supplies (www.bearpwr.com) has been awarded three development contracts totaling $150,000 to design and develop custom power supplies for military and medical applications, the company announced today. These include a miniature DC/DC converter measuring less than one half inch cubed for a military application; a custom AC/DC converter requiring high temperature operation and rugged design for a medical instrument; and a miniature battery-operated power supply with very high efficiency for portable system. Projected carry on production orders are expected to exceed $2.5M per year with delivery beginning this year.

"BEAR is known for its ability to quickly design and deliver reliable, high-quality custom power supplies to very challenging and specific requirements," said Michael Allen, president of BEAR.
