The Technology of Metal Storm Limited

Metal Storm technology is an electronically initiated, stacked projectile system that removes the mechanisms required to fire a conventional weapon. Effectively, the only parts that move in Metal Storm’s technology are the projectiles contained within the barrels. Multiple projectiles are stacked in a barrel. The technology allows each projectile to be fired sequentially from the barrel.
Metal Storm’s fully loaded barrel tubes are essentially serviceable weapons, without the traditional ammunition feed or ejection system, breech opening or any other moving parts. Metal Storm barrels can be effectively grouped in multiple configurations to meet a diversity of applications.

Metal Storm technology is ideally suited to the new generation of ‘network centric’ weapons that are designed to connect with today’s battlefield. Importantly, Metal Storm enabled systems are capable of local or remote operation through a computerized fire control system.

Our technology achieves its performance through the concept of numerous projectiles stacked in a barrel, in which each projectile has its own propellant load, such that the leading propellant can be reliably ignited to fire the projectile, without the resulting high pressure and temperature causing unplanned blow-by ignition of the following propellant load, and without collapse of the projectile column in the barrel.

Our technology has the following features and benefits:

Electronically programmable rates of fire from single shots to ultra-rapid rates;
No moving parts, resulting in increased reliability and availability because there is less maintenance required and decreased possibility of malfunction;
Increased firepower to weight ratio resulting in a lighter weapon with greater firepower compared to conventional weapons;
Modular pods that could operate as a complete weapon system in one container;
100% electronic operation;
The potential of grouping of multiple calibers and multiple lethalities in one gun allowing the user to vary the use to a specific situation;
Numerous hybrid configurations and Special Forces applications that could result in enhanced capabilities for use behind enemy lines; and
fast second round strike capability before recoil effect.

Metal Storm Limited CEO Bulletin
Wednesday June 20, 12:18 am ET


ARLINGTON, VA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 20, 2007 -- Metal Storm Limited (NasdaqCM:MTSX - News) (ASX:MST.AX - News).

All,

With the AGM coming up in a little over a week, I thought it appropriate to provide a short CEO Bulletin in advance of the meeting so that those who cannot attend also get a flavour of the activities that are underway here at Metal Storm. This will be a brief CEO Bulletin, and for that I apologize. However we are focusing on the tasks at hand and, as I am sure you appreciate, our timeframes are very important as we approach the Singapore Live Fire Trials.

Singapore Live Fire Trials

In less than a week our weapons systems and munitions assemblies leave Australia for the STK Range facilities in Singapore for the most extensive firing trials ever performed by Metal Storm. Over the 6 week trial period we will be carrying out extensive live fire trials of Metal Storm modified high explosive, enhanced blast and low velocity airburst munitions, as well as comprehensive testing of the Redback™ and 3GL prototype systems. Our engineering team has made consistent and rapid progress towards these trials, with 5 3GL prototypes being constructed as well as 2 Redback™ prototype weapon pods. Our new facilities at Richlands, Queensland include a CNC machine shop and temporary range facilities. These facilities have allowed us to reduce engineering data analysis and modification cycles from weeks to hours, and have dramatically increased our engineering team's ability to prove up design enhancements prior to the Singapore trials.

The Singapore Trials have two main purposes. First, the data gathered from the trials will provide a substantial step forward on the path toward commercializing the Redback™ and 3GL products and their associated munitions. Second, the trials offer the opportunity to also prove that the prototypes meet the covenants of the Convertible Note holders before the June 30 deadline date. Based on what I have seen so far I believe that the company is well positioned to perform the trials and to meet the standards required by the covenants.

Cash Covenants

In addition to the performance covenants with the convertible note holders, we also have a cash covenant for 30 June 2007. At this stage I am confident we will meet the 30 June 2007 cash covenant requirement.

Sales and Marketing

As we progress our products toward commercialization we are continuing to seek research and development contracts from the US Government and other agencies worldwide. It is clear that to be successful in doing this we need to refine and improve our sales and marketing activities.

To bring together the efforts of the US and Australian teams we have implemented the Salesforce.com customer relationship management system. This enables our team to collectively track opportunities as they arise, and to work together across both offices to ensure we respond more rapidly and accurately to the tasks necessary to win. Whilst CRM systems normally take significant time to establish, we have been able to move this system to beneficial operation in less than 4 weeks.

In the marketing arena it is clear that our current website needs work if we are to present ourselves professionally. We have engaged a company to assist us with the complete re-design of the Metal Storm website so that we can send a clear, customer focused message to our worldwide audience. Prospects must know what they can purchase from us, why they should do so, and what steps they need to take to make this happen. These seem simple and obvious tasks for a website, but they are not ones that our current site facilitates. Complete website rebuilding takes time, and I will keep you informed of progress as we go forward.

Finally, in order to bring the cultures of the US and Australian organizations closer together we have completed the implementation of a high definition internet-based videoconferencing system between the two facilities. Its performance is excellent and we have already recovered the cost of implementation through saved airfares. The high definition also allows our engineering teams to show and demonstrate technical components to each other which would otherwise be extremely difficult to explain.

The steps above may seem incongruent with the immediate demands of NOW. However, these are essential changes to improve our sales pipeline and position the company well as it moves from a research oriented business toward also being a revenue focused product and solutions business.

NOW -- NEXT -- AFTER NEXT

The first of three stages of strategic planning was completed last week by the Metal Storm management team. The two day workshop held in Richlands office provided core strategic positioning input for a subsequent Board level strategic planning meeting late in May. Output from the Board level meeting will feed into a more detailed strategic planning and implementation planning process which will be executed in June & July. I am pleased to say so far that the strategies of the past year continue to be a core component of the future of Metal Storm as we continue to build our products and expertise in the 40mm space.

[JRW]

Continued


US Contracts

Our existing contracts continue to be progressed in line with expectations and we will report material developments on these contracts as and when they are made.

A Final Note

As I was typing this one of my engineering team came into my office and handed me a 3GL grenade launcher prototype mounted to a specially designed Metal Storm shoulder stock that has just come from the fabricator. To me it appears light, practical and impressive. We are indeed making good progress.

Metal Storm Passes June 30 Performance Milestones
ARLINGTON, VA--(Marketwire - June 21, 2007) - Metal Storm Limited (NASDAQ: MTSX) (ASX: MST).

Metal Storm is pleased to provide further information relating to meeting its covenants with the Convertible Note Holders and progress with the Singapore Test Firings:

A) Covenants

In past releases to the market, Metal Storm has made clear the criticality of its satisfying certain covenants within the Convertible Note Holders Trust Deed by June 30, 2007.

The company has also previously advised that the two crucial covenants are the requirement to provide fully functional ammunition systems and prototypes of specified systems and to maintain a minimum cash balance of $AUD19.5M up to June 30, 2007.

The company now advises as follows:

1. The independent expert appointed by the Trustee has provided an initial summary report to the Trustee, verbatim:

"Metal Storm Testing - June 2007

On 18 June 2007 Metal Storm completed testing to demonstrate achievement of the Milestones required by the Trust Deed for which you are Trustee. Testing was undertaken at the Bukit Timah complex of Singapore Technologies Kinetics (STK) and included the following systems:

-- Ammunition systems -- integrated with STK
-- The Redback™ system -- Integrated with Electro Optical Systems
-- The 3GL system
The testing program followed the plan provided with my first report to you and agreed as a fair test of the Trust Deed Milestones.
The Metal Storm systems of ammunition, Redback™ and 3GL, performed as required to meet the plan standards in objective firing tests. In addition, Redback™ and 3GL were assessed as meeting the test standards in the areas subjective assessment.

In summary, the Metal Storm projects for ammunition Redback™ and 3GL are assessed as having achieved a "fully functional prototype" state of development and there are no apparent obstacles to them achieving full production standard.

My full report on the testing will follow as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely

Mike Hannan
Independent Expert"
2. The company presently has a cash at bank position of $AUD20.8M.
The covenant requires at least $AUD19.5M to be held. The Board expects net cash out flow to June 30 to be no more than $AUD150,000. Accordingly the Board anticipates this covenant will be met.

As a consequence of the above the Board is confident that all current requirements of the covenants within the Trust Deed will be met and exceeded by June 30, 2007.

B) Test Firings

The performance covenants were measured as a part of a comprehensive test firing program currently being undertaken by Metal Storm at the facilities of Singapore Technologies Kinetics (STK) at Bukit Timah, Singapore.

The test firing program includes the testing of:

-- The Redback™ remotely operated weapons system, a collaborative
development between Metal Storm, Electro Optic Systems (EOS) and STK.

-- The 3GL three shot grenade launcher.

-- 40mm High Explosive, Enhanced Blast and Low velocity Airburst
ammunition comprising STK warheads with Metal Storm tails.
On June 15, the Company advised that, working with teams from its partners EOS and STK, it had successfully completed the test firing schedule for Redback™ and the ammunition.

[JRW]

cont

On June 18, the Company commenced test firing of the 3GL three shot grenade launcher and successfully completed all tests required to meet the performance milestones defined in the Trust Deed. The Independent Expert, Mr Mike Hannan, was present for these tests.

Mr Hannan is a former Brigadier General in the Australian Defence Force (ADF). He commanded the UN Peace Keeping operations in the Middle East during the Gulf War and has on-the-ground experience in Iraq, Afghanistan, East Timor and the Solomon Islands. He was Chief Instructor of the Weapons Wing of the Army Infantry Centre, Commanding Officer of the Army Battle School, and was responsible for the introduction of the Milan missile system to the ADF. On entering civilian life Mr Hannan became CEO of a manufacturer of ceramic and soft armour for military contracts. In this role he gained extensive experience in the technical measurement of ballistic performance. This included the management of NATA approved ballistic testing facilities for both certification and research and development.

Of the successes so far in Singapore, Dr Lee Finniear, CEO, states that "this step is not only the achievement of a Milestone for the Trust Deed, but represents a truly monumental Milestone for the Company. Metal Storm has proven, without doubt and fully confirmed by an independent expert, that its low velocity 40mm weapons systems are real and perform well, including the initial integration of munitions, barrels, software, fire control and targeting systems. Further, the comment by the independent expert that 'there are no apparent obstacles to them achieving full production standard' provides further evidence that we are on the right track toward the commercial delivery of Metal Storm weapons and munitions."

On the results of Metal Storm's recent test firing Mr Suresh Withana, Managing Director of Harmony Capital Partners, stated, "Harmony is very pleased with the positive results of the test firings in Singapore. We look forward to working with Metal Storm to position the Company for the commercialization of its products."

The Metal Storm engineering team, lead by Dr Joe Cronin, is continuing its test firing program in Singapore to meet a variety of other objectives, including gathering detailed ballistic data & high speed video, assessing terminal effects and stress testing integrated systems for reliability analysis and further refinement.

The Company looks forward to providing further information on the test firings to the market as data and imagery is gathered and approved for release.

Completion of this milestone confirms the Company is now able to progress its plan of development into the future. That plan was the subject of the reports of the Chairman and of the CEO and MD at the Company's recent AGM. Those reports were announced to the market on May 25, 2007 and can be viewed on Metal Storm's website.
