With leading edge manufacturing capabilities and a blue chip customer base the company is acquiring the technology and talent necessary to facilitate this new initiative. Nanotechnology based processes for manufacture of electronics have evolved out of the realm of the theoretical and into the marketplace enabling a new generation of smaller and more powerful products. In 2005 companies earned $32 billion from products incorporating nanotechnology. This year more than $10 billion will be spent on nanotech R&D, and an estimated $1 trillion worth of products worldwide will incorporate nanotechnology in key functional components by the year 2015. Created via the merger of API Electronics Group Corp., a leading manufacturer of mission critical electronics components with an established roster of customers including top ten defense contractors and the Department of Defense, and the unparalleled research capabilities of nanotechnology firm Rubincon Ventures Inc., API Nanotronics is in an enviable position for growth. The combined company will continue its successful strategy of acquiring complimentary and profitable businesses while pursuing new initiatives designing and manufacturing state of the art customized nanotechnology-based electronics products and systems for customers in the defense and communications industries. The company also anticipates realizing tremendous synergies as further efforts are made to unify research and marketing under the new umbrella of API Nanotronics. API Nanotronics incorporates the numerous subsidiaries of API Electronics Group Corp., all of which manufacture high grade electronics for customers including Honeywell/Allied Signal, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin and the DOD. The company will continue operating its profitable core business while entering the emerging frontier of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is the science of building and manipulating materials, devices and processes on the scale of atoms and molecules (one billionth of a meter). Nanotechnology will allow API Nanotronics to build better, stronger, more durable components more efficiently and to tap into a market for nanotech products and services that the National Science Foundation projects will reach $1 trillion by 2015. The company’s existing products, customer relationships, manufacturing capabilities, and sales and distribution channels from its thriving subsidiaries plus the deep nanotechnology expertise from Rubincon will equip API Nanotronics to accelerate nanotechnology products to market. Led by a seasoned, motivated management team and guided by a world renowned expert in nanotechnology, API Nanotronics is in position to significantly increase its share of the highly lucrative defense and communications markets by expanding its product lines to include the next generation of customized nanotech-based solutions. Key Investment Highlights API Nanotronics is a new company formed to build on the success of its API Electronics subsidiary by natural evolution into the field of nanotechnology. The company will continuing to serve its current blue chip customer base with advanced electronics while investing in nanotech research and development to create the next generation products those customers demand. The organization owns state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities totaling 75,500 sq. ft. It operates manufacturing and tech centers in New York, Connecticut and Ontario, Canada, plus manufacturing capabilities in China and a distribution center in Britain. The company expects to deliver customized electronics products manufactured in next generation Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) facilities. API Nanotronics will be guided by Dr. Martin Moskovits, Dean of Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara and one of the world’s foremost experts in nanotechnology R&D. Dr. Moskovits will help the company identify new business opportunities, potential acquisitions, possible technical licenses and new investment opportunities as well as advise the company on R&D for advanced military, industrial, commercial, automotive and medical applications. The company has achieved significant revenue growth over the past four years, including a 25% increase in revenue for 2006. It recently announced record financial results for its fiscal year ended May 31, 2006, generating $15,634,093. A strong order flow also contributed to a backlog of $10,950,000. The company including National Hybrid anticipates generating $30 million in pro forma revenues for fiscal 2007. Nanotechnology refers to a rapidly expanding range of devices and industrial processes that manipulate atoms and small clusters of molecules—materials measuring from 1 to 100 nanometers, or billionths of a meter. At these dimensions traditional materials develop valuable behaviors like unusual strength, electrical conductivity or invisibility to the naked eye, and can be recombined with other materials to form novel drugs, foods and devices. By building “from the bottom up,” with every molecule in a desired position, huge increases in material strength, durability and flexibility can create longer lasting, cleaner, safer, cheaper and smarter products. The company serves the global semiconductor market, which the Semiconductor Industry Association predicts will reach $250 billion in sales this year. There is major R&D surrounding the use of nanotech to improve chip performance while decreasing size. API Nanotronics is working to become one of the United States’ few one-stop-shops for advanced electronics targeted to the defense sector. US defense spending has increased 85% in seven years, growing from $278 billion in 2000 to an estimated $513 billion for 2007. Leveraging a Solid Foundation of Core Competencies, Customers and Revenue from Subsidiaries API Nanotronics, through wholly owned API Electronics Group and its subsidiaries API Electronics Inc., Filtran Group, TM Systems and Keytronics, is engaged in the manufacture of electronic components and systems for the defense and communications industries. The company ships off-the-shelf as well as custom designed products to top-tier clients including Honeywell/Allied Signal, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin and numerous other top technology-based firms in more than 34 countries. API Nanotronics and its subsidiaries provide systems and electronics for advanced military, industrial, commercial, automotive and medical applications.
