3 Massive Disruptions are Destroying the Traditional Industry Models for Music and Cable TV 3 Digital and streaming fragmented and democratized music recording and distribution By the end of 2017, more than 22 million viewers age 18 and older are expected to have cut the cord, according to emarketer

4 Destruction of the USA Utility Model will Follow the Pattern of the Destruction of the Legacy Music Business Model (Inflation Adjusted USA Sales) 4 The record labels had all the power until digital music and downloading broke the business model Single song downloads have replaced buying the entire CD Competition through ease of artist access to the end market has driven down value per song...and it gets worse. This is only through 2013, so data is largely pre-streaming

5 What s Driving the Fracture of the Traditional USA Utility Business Model? 5 1. Reductions in the cost of solar modules 2. Transition to electric vehicles and massive production scale-up of lithium ion energy storage batteries that can also be utilized for stationary energy storage systems. 3. Regulations and incentives at the Federal, State and Local Government levels 4. Drive to increase overall grid system efficiency vs. deployment of large, new generation assets smaller sources of generation located closer to demand. 5. Retirements of coal and nuclear generation assets driven by government policy For the Utility Business Model, it is like 1999 was with the Music industry business model. It will be destroyed / remade over the next years

6 Massive Cost Reductions in Solar Modules and Li Ion Batteries are Changing the Energy Market 6 Cost of a Fully Installed PV System from 2010 to 2030 (Forecast) Battery Prices Keep Tumbling Bloomberg: Li Ion Forecast $109/kWh by 2025 Source: GTM 2017 Source: BNEF April 2017 Massive Scaling of PV and Li Ion Battery Production is Driving Large Scale Cost Reductions for Generating and Storing Clean Electricity The Fragmentation in Generation, Distribution and Consumption of Electricity will Create Huge Business Opportunities

17 EnSync Partners with Schneider Electric on Distributed Energy Resource Market Opportunities EnSync Energy and Schneider Electric to Explore Distributed Energy Resource Technology and Market Opportunities Collaboration to harness the latest energy management technologies to develop reliable, clean energy networks and reduce costs for customers For Immediate Release 17 MILWAUKEE, June 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- EnSync, Inc. (NYSE MKT: ESNC). EnSync Energy Systems, a leading developer of innovative distributed energy resource (DER) systems and Internet of Energy (IoE) control platforms for the utility, commercial, industrial and multi-tenant building markets, today announced it will work with Schneider Electric to explore technology and opportunities in the DER market. After reviewing the EnSync Matrix Energy System, the two companies identified areas of mutual interest for collaboration. Starting in June 2017, Schneider Electric and EnSync Energy Systems will jointly explore market opportunities and technology advancements required to best serve markets utilizing distributed energy resources. The grid landscape is changing rapidly and DER deployments are challenging incumbent grid operating models, said EnSync Energy executive vice president, Dan Nordloh. Both companies feel that we are in the early stages of transformational grid edge market opportunity. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with Schneider Electric to explore these areas of collaboration. The growth in distributed solar generation enables decentralization of the grid and bidirectional power flows from all DER. This provides an opportunity to integrate DER control and use it to the benefit of the overall electrical network. Nordloh continued, We are transitioning from simple distributed generation into an era of integrated distributed energy resources, where renewables, storage, energy management systems and IoE control capabilities replace solar-only installations. These distributed energy resources are an efficient and economical way to solve the shortcomings of the antiquated grid network and benefit the asset owner, enabling them to participate in the capacity and EnSync Recently Secured a Repeat Order for Matrix from Schneider Electric
