Solomon to Acquire Power Solutions, Inc.
TARPON SPRINGS, FL. May 8, 2006 — Solomon Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:SOLM) announced today that it has entered into a letter of intent to acquire Power Solutions, Inc., a Long Island, New York based manufacturer of high volume direct current power supplies and power supply systems and components for the medical, telecommunications and commercial sectors. As part of this acquisition, Solomon will also acquire a controlling stake in Ultrapower Ltd. that is presently held by Power Solutions. Based in Taiwan, Ultrapower is a manufacturer of power supplies and associated products.

The letter of intent contemplates that Solomon will purchase Power Solutions for $5 million in cash, of which $250,000 would be held in escrow for 15 months to secure certain obligations of the sellers. The transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive purchase agreement and the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including a due diligence investigation and the negotiation and execution of agreements with Power Solutions personnel. While no assurances can be given as to when the acquisition may close, Solomon currently anticipates that the acquisition will close during the second quarter of 2006.

Solomon President Peter W. DeVecchis, Jr., said, "We are very excited about combining the capabilities of Power Solutions with Solomon's unique intellectual property. The combination should permit us to expand our system product offerings, open new market channels in the commercial sector, and bring a low cost offshore manufacturing capability to Solomon." He continued, "We expect to consolidate Power Solutions' domestic operations in Danbury, Connecticut alongside Technipower's operations."
