("API") (OTCBB: APIO) (the "Company") wishes to offer a year-end report on the successful completion of key milestones Management set out to achieve during calendar year 2006. The Company has accomplished certain critical objectives that position the Company for growth during the upcoming year. Notable in 2006 was the merger between API Electronics Group Corp., ("API Electronics") and Rubincon Ventures, Inc. ("Rubincon"). First announced in March, the merger closed in November and saw the creation of a new entity named to best exemplify the business of the combined companies as API Nanotronics, Corp. Effective April 28, API purchased 100% of Keytronics Inc.'s shares. Keytronics is a design and manufacturing company of electrical components and equipment, specifically transformers, chokes, inductors, reactors, power supplies, and power converters. In June, the Company announced that it has received an order from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for $9,033,884, representing the largest contract in API's history. API began shipments immediately and orders will continue for several years. On July 18, 2006, the Company announced that it had entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire National Hybrid Inc. and its subsidiary, Pace Technology Inc. Both National Hybrid and Pace Technology are leading suppliers of critical components to the U.S. defense sector, including Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and the U.S. Department of Defense. Additionally, National Hybrid is in the process of completing a leading Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems ("MEMS") production facility that will house state-of-the-art research and development capabilities to develop various nanotechnology products and services. Upon completion, it is anticipated that the facility will be one of the most modern MEMS micro-fabrication plants in North America. Other achievements for the year included API Electronics' September announcement of record financial results. Revenues increased 25% to $15,634,093 from $12,547,551 for the comparable 2005 fiscal year. Additionally, a strong order flow also contributed to a backlog of $10,950,000. A significant aspect of the companies business has focused on the manufacture of niche specialty products that major semiconductor manufacturers no longer produce or do not plan to produce in the future. Applications for the Company's products include; Telecommunications, Aerospace, Military Defense Systems, Automated Test Equipment, Computing Equipment, Medical Equipment, Robotics, Instrumentation and Automotive Systems. Customers include government agencies, Departments of Defense, and large military contractors such as Honeywell, BAE Systems Controls, Deutch Relays, Litton Systems, and Lockheed-Martin. Other customers include Raytheon, Northrop Grumman Litton, Alcatel, Thales, Leitch, Ball Aerospace, and the Defense Electronic Supply Center. Spurred by the Company's growth and reputation as a preferred supplier of custom parts for critical, fixed-design systems, Management plans to offer customers the opportunity to develop next-generation nanotechnology based products via the development of a new state-of-the-art facility under the oversight of top nanotechnology scientists and engineers. This venture significantly broadens the scope of product design and manufacturing processes alongside offering significant new opportunities and synergistic industry relationships and is the key to API Nanotronics growth for 2007 and beyond.
