Bankruptcy Litigants That Would Have Forced the Immediate Resumption of Litigation

IRVINE, Calif., May 9  Bankruptcy Judge John E.Ryan on May 6, 2005, denied the emergency motions of two pre-bankruptcy litigants seeking to have the automatic stay lifted and the litigation
reinstated. Composite Technology Corporation (CTC) (OTC Bulletin Board: CPTC) filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code bankruptcy on

May 5, 2005 solely to have these litigation claims addressed by the Bankruptcy Court in a single forum rather than having to defend multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions. Each of these lawsuits
related to claims for the issuance of CTC's stock. On the same day as its bankruptcy filing, CTC filed a proposed plan of reorganization which if confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court would pay its creditors in full. In light of today's ruling, these lawsuits will remain before the Bankruptcy Court and will be decided in due course.

Leonard M. Shulman of Shulman Hodges & Bastian LLP, CTC bankruptcy counsel, states: "We are very pleased that CTC will now have an opportunity to  present its plan of reorganization to its reditors. CTC proposes a plan that addresses its litigation claims and provides for payment in full to its creditors. This process is moving very quickly and we are pleased with the initial results." CTC's Chairman and CEO Benton Wilcoxon added.

"We are pleased with our results thus far. Everything is on track for CTC to emerge  from bankruptcy with the resources needed to continue to our business of developing, producing and marketing innovative and cost effective composite core electrical conductor to provide electrical grid solutions for the utility industry. Nothing contained in our plan of reorganization is designed or intended to negatively impact our shareholders."
