In connection with this engagement, SG Cowen will advise the company in its identifying, contacting and negotiating transactions with prospective alliance partners with a strategic interest in Next Generation Lithography.

Under a series of contracts funded by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), JMAR has demonstrated a Laser Produced Plasma (LPP) Source capable of creating 1 nm, "soft" X-ray light for semiconductor photolithography. The Beta Test Model of JMAR`s Collimated Plasma Lithography (CPL) Source is currently undergoing functional test and operator training at its San Diego facility. After this has been completed, the CPL Source will be integrated with an X-ray stepper at JMAR`s JSAL facility in Burlington, Vt., which will be followed by lithography wafer exposures and lithography demonstrations for the semiconductor industry.

JMAR`s strategy for commercializing its CPL technology calls for sales to fabricators of high-performance Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) semiconductors for military and commercial markets. In parallel, the company is pursuing the development of the next generation of its CPL systems. JMAR believes that the higher light source power levels of these advanced systems will earn CPL recognition as the most cost-effective means of delivering reduced feature size lithography to the high-volume silicon semiconductor market.

Addressing JMAR`s CPL strategy, JMAR President and Chief Executive Officer Ronald A. Walrod said, "On the strength of the test results we are seeing, we believe that our CPL source has great potential to be regarded as an important advancement in lithography. As such, we believe it will attract considerable interest from our prospective customers and other suppliers of lithography products. We are convinced that alliances with complementary partners will accelerate the introduction of CPL products into semiconductor manufacturing facilities. In fact, the size and dynamics of the market for next generation lithography strongly suggests that JMAR seek operational support from alliance partners to facilitate CPL`s entry to market and maximize sales once that has been achieved."

Commenting on the relationship with SG Cowen, Walrod continued, "With the pre-shipment testing of JMAR`s CPL source well-underway and with planned lithography wafer exposures and demonstrations planned for early 2003, now is the time to add an experienced investment banker to our CPL team to assist us in our discussions with prospective semiconductor industry alliance partners. SG Cowen has the knowledge of the semiconductor and semiconductor equipment industries and the experience in deal-making that JMAR needs to move CPL forward at full speed. We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with a banker of SG Cowen`s high quality and reputation."

JMAR Technologies Confirms Performance of Beta Model Collimated Plasma Lithography CPL-TM- Source
Tuesday January 28, 8:32 am ET
Attainment of Performance Milestone Confirms Ability of Device to Meet Needs of Industry


SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 28, 2003-- JMAR Technologies Inc. (NasdaqNM:JMAR), a developer of laser produced plasma sources for X-Ray and EUV lithography, today announced that it has achieved a major milestone in its Department of Defense funded Collimated Plasma Lithography (CPL)(TM) technology program, producing 130nm feature sizes using its Beta model CPL(TM) Source.
ADVERTISEMENT


In the tests that produced these results, JMAR`s Research Division in San Diego configured the Source`s beam line to simulate integration with JMAR`s NanoPulsar(TM) stepper. Using a 1X mask supplied by the IBM Advanced Mask Facility in Burlington, Vermont, JMAR achieved lithographic resolution consistent with the needs of the compound semiconductor industry. JMAR is now making preparations to ship the CPL(TM) Source to its Burlington, Vt. Division for integration with its stepper, followed by testing and demonstration of the full system. The company believes that the continued success of its CPL(TM) test program will validate the technology as a viable contender to become the semiconductor industry`s choice for a next-generation lithography (NGL) solution.

"Our CPL(TM) Source testing makes it increasingly clear that JMAR`s technological approach offers the semiconductor industry a relatively straightforward, non-optical approach to sub-100nm lithography," noted Ronald A. Walrod, JMAR`s president and chief executive officer. "We believe JMAR`s new CPL(TM) Source is just the catalyst needed to erase past industry misgivings about NGL X-ray sources," he said, "and we firmly believe that any chip fabricator looking for reduced feature size at a reasonable cost will be favorably impressed with CPL(TM) as the most attractive alternative.

"Now that we have an operable Beta model CPL(TM) Source, a CPL Stepper, and X-ray proximity masks, we are taking on the challenge of getting our message out to an industry that remains focused on 157nm and EUV optical technologies, despite the acknowledged technical challenges and high projected costs," Walrod added. "After initial performance characterization to sub-100nm feature sizes in Burlington Vermont, we will start producing test wafers for prospective customers, initially in the compound semiconductor and specialty silicon markets, to demonstrate the performance, simplicity, and cost effectiveness of CPL(TM).

"While we advance toward deployment of our first-generation compound semiconductor CPL(TM) products, we are at the same time setting our sights on CPL(TM) for mainstream silicon applications," Walrod said. "We are now working actively to establish the strong alliances with industry we will need to deliver CPL(TM) to that much larger market."

JMAR Technologies Inc. is the world`s leading developer and manufacturer of collimated laser plasma lithography sources and systems and X-ray lithography stepper systems for the semiconductor industry.

JMAR Awarded $5 Million in New Contracts to Enhance Performance of Semiconductor Process at DMEA Installation In Sacramento
Thursday February 20, 7:45 am ET


SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2003--JMAR Technologies Inc. (NasdaqNM:JMAR), a developer of advanced lasers and Collimated Plasma Lithography (CPL) systems and a provider of semiconductor production and design services, announced today that its Microelectronics Division has been awarded two new contracts totaling approximately $5 million to enhance the semiconductor fabrication processes installed at the Advanced Reconfigurable Manufacturing for Semiconductors (ARMS) foundry owned and operated by the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) in Sacramento, Calif.
ADVERTISEMENT


General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems (GDAIS), a prime contractor for DMEA, issued these contracts to JMAR as an element of the Defense Department`s Advanced Technology Support Program (ATSP). Since the establishment of the ARMS foundry in 1999, JMAR has played a key role in the installation and implementation of that foundry`s chip fabrication processes, which include CMOS gate array, EEPROM, and radiation tolerant ultra-thin silicon technologies.

"These contracts continue JMAR`s long-standing relationships with GDAIS and the DMEA and underscore our unique role in improving the ARMS foundry, which is an important part of the DMEA operations," said Ronald A. Walrod, president and chief executive officer of JMAR Technologies. "We believe JMAR`s Microelectronics Division`s business will continue to grow over time as we support the DMEA`s mission and apply the unique access the agency has given us to the ARMS foundry so we can enhance the ARMS foundry processes and leverage their use for commercial product development.

"The vital support JMAR has been providing to the DMEA since the inception of the Sacramento foundry has been instrumental in helping that organization fulfill its increasingly vital role in the nation`s defense," he said. "Based on the success of that effort, we are very confident that our relationship with DMEA will, over time, result in expanded opportunities for JMAR, while at the same time increasing the value of the essential services it provides."

The DMEA was established by the Department of Defense to utilize the most advanced technologies to extend the life of weapons systems by addressing the problem of microelectronics obsolescence. Its mission and capability is recognized as both unique and critical for the DoD as well as for other branches of the U.S. Government, including NASA, the FAA, and the Department of Transportation. DMEA`s advanced technology services and facilities are also available to the private sector through Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA).

Under a contract awarded by General Dynamics in 1998, JMAR supported the DMEA in the design and construction of the ARMS foundry. The foundry is a custom integrated circuit prototyping facility responsible for producing innovative microcircuits to replace critical obsolete military system electronics, thereby extending the operational lifetimes of those systems for substantial periods with attendant savings to the U.S. Government. JMAR maintains a semiconductor process engineering and operations group adjacent to DMEA`s facility in Sacramento. The work under the current contracts will be performed on-site by JMAR`s Sacramento staff.

With headquarters in San Diego, JMAR Technologies Inc. is the originator of Collimated Plasma Lithography, a next-generation lithography (NGL) alternative designed to deliver affordable, sub-100 nanometer chip-making capability in a compact format to the semiconductor industry. In addition to CPL, JMAR develops other products for the public and private sectors based on its proprietary "Britelight(TM)" laser light source. JMAR`s operations include its laser and laser-produced plasma Research Division in San Diego; its Systems Division in Burlington, Vt., where CPL Stepper Systems are designed and manufactured; and its Microelectronics Division, based in Sacramento, where JMAR provides process integration and maintenance support for the U.S. Government`s Defense Microelectronics Activity semiconductor fabrication facility.

The statements herein regarding JMAR`s expectations for future sales and potential business opportunities at its Microelectronics Division are forward-looking statements based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These risks include the competition for funding of government programs and other budgetary constraints, delays in receipt of funding of its government contracts, the failure of future orders to materialize as expected, delays in procurement, shipment or production of equipment purchased for these contracts, parts and labor shortages, cancellation or re-scheduling of orders, the inability to obtain financing when required on terms acceptable to the company, and the other risks detailed in the company`s 2001 Form 10-K and other reports filed with the SEC.

JMAR Technologies Reports 2002 Results
Monday March 31, 8:36 am ET


SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 31, 2003--JMAR Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:JMAR - News):
Revenues From Continuing Operations Increase 42% From Prior Year on Continued Expansion of Lithography Program Revenues
Operations Responsible for Significant Portion of 2002`s Net Loss Discontinued
New $3 Million Working Capital Line, Existing Backlog and Expected Contract Funding Improves Outlook for 2003
JMAR Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:JMAR - News), a developer of advanced lasers, Collimated Plasma Lithography (CPL(TM)) systems, and semiconductor production services, today announced results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2002.

For the year ended December 31, 2002, revenues, excluding those from discontinued operations, improved 42% to $18,383,810 from $12,903,811 in 2001. The Company incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2002 of $(11,500,693), or $(0.49) per share, including a loss of $(9,039,367), or $(0.38) per share related to the discontinuation in 2002 of JMAR Precision Systems Inc. (JPSI) and the standard chip business of JMAR Semiconductor Inc. (JSI). This compares to a net loss for 2001 of $(14,701,534), or $(0.65) per share, which included a loss from discontinued operations of $(14,544,980), or $(0.64) per share.

JMAR`s improvement in revenues for the year was primarily attributable to a significant increase in contract funding for JMAR`s CPL Program. Of the increase, $5,451,182 came from an increase in contract revenues at the Systems Division, formerly Semiconductor Advanced Lithography Inc. (SAL), which became part of JMAR in August 2001. The increase in Systems Division revenues resulted from work performed under JMAR`s $34.5 million contract for CPL source development from the Department of Defense, an incrementally-funded $10 million government contract received in 2002 for production of sub-100nm X-ray masks for Next Generation Lithography (NGL) Systems, a contract with a major defense contractor for semiconductor X-ray lithography system support, and a contract to upgrade a synchrotron-based X-ray lithography stepper to produce sub-50nm microcircuits.

For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the loss from continuing operations was $(3,109,854) and $(1,490,159), respectively. The amount for 2002 includes severance charges of $1,074,324 recorded related to the retirement in August, 2002 of John S. Martinez, the Company`s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the amount for 2002 is higher compared to 2001 due to an increase in losses of the Systems Division of $1,339,810 related to a full year of operations in 2002 versus five months in 2001, low margins on certain contracts, and costs associated with the Company`s CPL commercialization efforts. The amount for 2001 includes $226,899 of asset writedowns.

For the fourth quarter of 2002, revenues were $3,729,599 compared with revenues of $4,236,722 for the comparable quarter of 2001. The decline in revenues for the fourth quarter of 2002 compared to the prior year`s fourth quarter is due to a decline in revenues in 2002 compared to 2001 for the Systems Division, which was offset in part by an increase in revenues for the Microelectronics Division. The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2002 was $(6,914,251), or $(0.29) per share, including a loss from discontinued operations of $(5,711,238), or $(0.24) per share. The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2001 was $(10,674,081), or $(0.47) per share, including a loss from discontinued operations of $(10,302,009), or $(0.45) per share.

JMAR`s total Research, Development and Engineering (RD&E) expenditures from both Customer and Company-funded programs for the development of high-performance microelectronics manufacturing equipment represented 68% and 59% of sales for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Contract RD&E funds supported the continued development of the Company`s high-power laser technology and its CPL source and stepper systems.

Commenting on the Company`s overall performance in 2002 and its continued progress in commercializing CPL, JMAR President and Chief Executive Officer Ronald A. Walrod said, "Last year, JMAR made substantial progress in advancing its CPL next generation lithography program, and received a significant increase in R&D funding that has enabled further progress toward product commercialization this year, including development of our Beta Model CPL Stepper System development. At the same time, however, JMAR`s financial growth continued to be hindered by the continuing downturn in market demand for the motion and metrology products produced by our JPSI operation. Beginning in 2002, we have taken a series of aggressive actions to improve JMAR`s outlook for 2003 and beyond.

"For example," Mr. Walrod continued, "we have discontinued the main unprofitable elements of the company -- our precision instruments and standard semiconductor operations -- that were responsible for a significant portion of the losses we`ve incurred over the last two years. We have also streamlined our organization to accelerate CPL commercialization progress by restructuring JMAR into three complementary profit centers: Research Division, Systems Division, and Microelectronics Division. Each of these new entities is now headed by an outstanding General Manager, focused on improving JMAR`s profitability. As part of that process, and in support of that goal, we significantly strengthened our management team, promoting Dan Fleming, Ph.D., to the position of Corporate Vice President and Chief Operating Officer where he will manage the flow of work between the divisions to improve efficiency and speed product development. We also hired John Ricardi as JMAR Vice President of Business Development to manage JMAR`s marketing efforts and coordinate our sales effort, and Scott Bloom, Ph.D., as General Manager of Research Division to lead our team of world-class researchers.

"I believe that as these organizational improvements take hold JMAR will enjoy both improved financial results and solid progress toward CPL commercialization in 2003," Mr. Walrod added. "As we aggressively pursue the commercialization of our CPL technology, we have sought out other promising, profitable opportunities, such as our recently announced $1 million contract to design and produce the Alpha and Beta models of advanced environmental sensors with future application in explosive and narcotics detection."

Commenting on the Company`s financial results for 2002 and prospects for 2003, JMAR Chief Financial Officer Dennis E. Valentine said, "The recently secured $3 million Convertible Working Capital Line with Laurus Master Fund and the $2 million in Convertible Preferred Stock funding we also received from Laurus, together with the planned sale of JPSI, should satisfy JMAR`s working capital requirements for 2003. Although there will still be losses related to JPSI reflected in our financials until that operation has been sold, we expect such losses to end with the operation`s sale to one of several interested parties before mid-year.

"With approximately $6 million in contract backlog entering 2003, the receipt in February 2003 of $5 million in new contracts from General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, expected mid-year 2003 funding of approximately $8.6 million for existing CPL related contracts, and the receipt of the above mentioned $1 million contract, we believe JMAR is now positioned for further revenue growth in 2003," Mr. Valentine added.

Headquartered in San Diego, California, JMAR Technologies Inc. is the originator of Collimated Plasma Lithography, a next-generation lithography (NGL) alternative designed to deliver affordable, sub-100 nanometer chip-making capability in a compact format to the semiconductor industry. In addition to CPL, JMAR develops other products for the public and private sectors based on its proprietary "Britelight(TM)" laser light source. JMAR`s operations include its laser and laser-produced plasma Research Division in San Diego, California; its Systems Division in Burlington, Vermont, where CPL Stepper Systems are designed and manufactured; and its Microelectronics Division, based in Sacramento, California, where JMAR provides process integration and maintenance support for the U.S. Government`s Defense Microelectronics Activity semiconductor fabrication facility.

The statements herein regarding JMAR`s expectations for the successful development and introduction of its CPL systems and future sales and potential business opportunities are forward-looking statements based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These risks include unanticipated delays in the first-time assembly and operation of a complex lithography system, delays in receipt of funding of its government contracts and delays in or the inability to obtain other financing in a timely manner to further commercialize the CPL products, the failure of the CPL technology to perform as predicted or to be fully developed and engineered into a commercial product that is accepted by gallium arsenide chip manufacturers, the failure to make improvements to the Company`s laser technology and to third party collimator, X-ray mask and resist technologies required to increase the throughput of the Company`s X-ray and CPL systems to meet the requirements of silicon chip manufacturers, the adverse effect of selling JPSI on its operating results, less than expected sales proceeds realized from the sale of JPSI, the continued downturn in the semiconductor market, the failure of pending patents to be issued, competition from alternative technologies, including electron beam, deep ultraviolet and extreme ultraviolet lithography technologies which have been more heavily funded than JMAR`s CPL program, the failure of future orders to materialize as expected, delays in development, shipment or production, parts and labor shortages, cancellation or re-scheduling of orders, the inability to obtain financing when required on terms acceptable to the Company, and the other risks detailed in the Company`s 2002 Form 10-K and other reports filed with the SEC.

Terms of contract call for JMAR to initially develop user-friendly Alpha and Beta test models of advanced environmental sensor systems for FemtoTrace Inc. (Pomona, Calif.).
Systems will be based on Reversal Electron Attachment Detection (READ) technology licensed from NASA and CalTech.
Companies plan to extend product line in future to include systems for detection of explosives and drugs in Homeland Security applications
JMAR Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:JMAR - News), a developer of advanced technology products including lasers and Collimated Plasma Lithography systems, and provider of semiconductor production services, today announced that it has been selected by FemtoTrace Inc. to design, develop and manufacture a line of advanced environmental sensors based on READ (Reversal Electron Attachment Detection) technology.

Located in Pomona, Calif., FemtoTrace, incorporated in 2001, is commercializing READ technology developed by the NASA/California Institute of Technology`s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

Under terms of the initial $1 million contract, JMAR will deliver two Alpha and two Beta test instruments to FemtoTrace over the next 15 months. A major electric and gas utility company will use these initial units to detect the presence of carcinogenic PCBs, a significant environmental problem, and to find leaks in electrical and gas lines using perfluorocarbon tracers. READ is a real-time analytical system, and can perform rapid analyses heretofore not possible. With the success of these commercial prototypes, FemtoTrace and JMAR plan to move into final product design and full-scale production of the ultra-sensitive sensor systems in 2004.

Ronald A. Walrod, president and chief executive officer of JMAR Technologies, said, "We at JMAR are very excited by this alliance with FemtoTrace as it affords us a significant, immediate opportunity to design and manufacture a product that has considerable potential for expansion beyond its initial application. This program also provides JMAR with a chance to flex its design and manufacturing muscles in advance of the demand for full commercialization of our Collimated Plasma Lithography systems. We`re highly confident that the experienced engineering and operations team JMAR has assembled over the last few years will enable it to provide exceptional product design and manufacturing expertise to this program without in any way compromising its ability to handle the demand for CPL Sources and Steppers," he said.

Dr. Jack L. Herz, president and chief executive officer of FemtoTrace added, "As a research driven company, we are very pleased to team with JMAR as our commercial product design and manufacturing arm for READ. The READ technology is the most sensitive method known for measuring the presence of certain important classes of molecules in real-time. We plan to work closely with JMAR on the environmental monitoring and electric and gas utility safety applications. We also look forward to JMAR`s contributions to our READ product line expansion into explosives detection, homeland security, food safety, and industrial health monitoring applications, and into miniature high-resolution mass spectrometry." Ronald Walrod added, "For the past several months I have emphasized JMAR`s renewed focus on commercializing its high potential CPL technology. We will continue this emphasis on CPL as a major source of revenues and earnings. At the same time, however, it is clearly in JMAR`s interests to take advantage, whenever possible, of non-conflicting opportunities to put new promising commercialization projects in the pipeline to enhance downstream financial results. We will selectively pursue such attractive opportunities as they occur and believe the READ sensor program will strengthen the Company in preparation for CPL commercialization."

Headquartered in San Diego, JMAR Technologies Inc. is the originator of Collimated Plasma Lithography, a next-generation lithography (NGL) alternative designed to deliver affordable, sub-100 nanometer chip-making capability in a compact format to the semiconductor industry. In addition to CPL, JMAR develops other products for the public and private sectors based on its proprietary "Britelight(TM)" laser light source.

JMAR Technologies Reports Strong Gain in Revenues for First Quarter of 2003
Thursday May 15, 8:34 am ET


SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 2003--JMAR Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:JMAR - News):
Revenues From Continuing Operations Increase 31% From Prior Year Quarter
Loss From Operations Cut 67% From Fourth Quarter of 2002
Strong $8 Million Backlog, Commitments for $5.3 Million in Additional CPL Program Funding, and Continued Progress on CPL Development, Enhance Outlook for Balance of 2003
JMAR Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:JMAR - News), a developer of advanced lasers, Collimated Plasma Lithography (CPL(TM)) systems and a provider of semiconductor production services, today announced results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2003.

For the quarter, revenues, excluding those from discontinued operations, improved 31% to $4,733,714 from revenues of $3,608,655 in the corresponding quarter of 2002. The Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2003 of $(906,657), or $(0.04) per share, including a loss of $(459,987), or $(0.02) per share, related to the operations of JMAR Precision Systems Inc. (JPSI) and the standard chip business of JMAR Semiconductor Inc. (JSI), both of which were discontinued in 2002. This compares to a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2002 of $(747,621), or $(0.03) per share, which included a loss from discontinued operations of $(1,810,217), or $(0.08) per share and a gain of $1,349,721 from the sale of marketable securities.

JMAR`s improvement in revenues for the first quarter of 2003 compared to the prior year quarter resulted from activities at two of its three operating divisions: In February, the Company`s Microelectronics Division was awarded $5 million in contracts from General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, while the Systems Division received $800,000 in revenues related to JMAR`s $10 million contract for X-ray proximity masks for Collimated Plasma Lithography from the U.S. Government`s Naval Air Warfare Center. Shortly after the quarter concluded, the Company received an additional $3.4 million in funding against that contract for continued production of sub-100nm X-ray masks. A delay in the incremental funding of $5.3 million from JMAR`s $34.5 million contract with the government`s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) reduced the Company`s potential revenue increase for the first quarter. However, JMAR expects to receive a portion of that delayed funding later in the second quarter and the balance in the second half of this year.

JMAR`s total Research, Development and Engineering (RD&E) expenditures from both Customer and Company-funded programs for the development of high-performance microelectronics manufacturing equipment represented 53% and 65% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002, respectively. Contract funding supported the continued development of the Company`s high-power laser technology and its CPL source and stepper systems.

President and Chief Executive Officer Ronald A. Walrod said, "I am gratified to see that our Company-wide restructuring and cost-cutting measures have begun to make JMAR a leaner, more efficient organization. Although we still have our work cut out for us, these improvements in operations, along with the recent integration of our CPL Stepper System, are helping to set the stage for profitable growth in the future."

Commenting on the Company`s financial results for the first quarter of 2003 and prospects for the remainder of 2003, JMAR Chief Financial Officer Dennis E. Valentine said, "With approximately $8 million in backlog at April 30, 2003 and another $5.3 million in DARPA funding expected this year, our revenue expectations for 2003 continue to look positive. We are pleased with the reduction in operating losses we were able to achieve in the first quarter and believe that we will see further improvements in the bottom line in the later half of 2003 as we look toward completing the sale of JPSI and as the benefits of our restructuring and our other cost cutting actions continue to accrue."

Headquartered in San Diego, JMAR Technologies Inc. is the originator of Collimated Plasma Lithography, a next-generation lithography (NGL) alternative designed to deliver affordable, sub-100 nanometer chip-making capability in a compact format to the semiconductor industry. In addition to CPL, JMAR develops other products for the public and private sectors based on its proprietary "Britelight(TM)" laser light source. JMAR`s operations include its laser and laser-produced plasma Research Division in San Diego; its Systems Division in Burlington, Vt., where CPL Stepper Systems and other products are designed and manufactured; and its Microelectronics Division, based in Sacramento, Calif., where JMAR provides process integration and maintenance support for the U.S. Government`s Defense Microelectronics Activity semiconductor fabrication facility.

The statements herein regarding JMAR`s expectations for the successful development and introduction of its CPL systems and future sales and potential business opportunities are forward-looking statements based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These risks include unanticipated delays in the first-time assembly and operation of a complex lithography system, delays in receipt of funding of its government contracts and delays in or the inability to obtain other financing in a timely manner to further commercialize the CPL products, the failure of the CPL technology to perform as predicted or to be fully developed and engineered into a commercial product that is accepted by gallium arsenide chip manufacturers, the failure to make improvements to the Company`s laser technology and to third party collimator, X-ray mask and resist technologies required to increase the throughput of the Company`s X-ray and CPL systems to meet the requirements of silicon chip manufacturers, the adverse effect of selling JPSI on its operating results, less than expected sales proceeds realized from the sale of JPSI, the continued downturn in the semiconductor market, the failure of pending patents to be issued, competition from alternative technologies, including electron beam, deep ultraviolet and extreme ultraviolet lithography technologies which have been more heavily funded than JMAR`s CPL program, the failure of future orders to materialize as expected, delays in development, shipment or production, parts and labor shortages, cancellation or re-scheduling of orders, the inability to obtain financing when required on terms acceptable to the Company, and the other risks detailed in the Company`s 2002 Form 10-K and other reports filed with the SEC.

Thursday December 11, 8:32 am ET


SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 11, 2003--JMAR Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: JMAR - News)
JMAR`s Collimated Plasma Lithography System Pushes Below 100nm with Binary Mask and Single Layer Thick Resist
JMAR Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: JMAR - News), today reported that it has realized sub-100nm imaging at its facility in South Burlington, Vermont using its integrated Collimated Plasma Lithography (CPL(TM)) X-ray source and wafer exposure system.

"This achievement reinforces our belief that CPL offers reduced complexity, and therefore reduced overall cost, at sub-100nm critical dimensions," said Daniel J. Fleming, JMAR`s Chief Operating Officer and General Manager, Systems Division. "The deep penetration of 1nm X-ray light enables us to use single layer, thick, chemically amplified resist. The result is large process latitude enabling simultaneous imaging of small contact holes and minimum pitch dense lines. The collimated X-ray light is matched to a simple binary membrane mask and creates patterns using proximity exposure. We are very pleased to be able to produce these fine features without the complexity of phase shift masks, two layer resist, or extremely precise control of focus and dose parameters."

This work was done under contracts from Army Research Laboratory (ARL)/Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR)/DARPA. The masks were made by IBM Microelectronics, Essex Junction, Vermont.

Additional information regarding JMAR`s CPL technology is available in the form of a CPL Q&A discussion at www.jmar.com.

Headquartered in San Diego, California, JMAR Technologies, Inc., is the originator of Collimated Plasma Lithography (CPL(TM)), a next-generation lithography (NGL) alternative designed to deliver affordable, sub-100 nanometer chip-making capability in a compact format to the semiconductor industry. In addition to CPL, JMAR develops other products for the public and private sectors based on its proprietary "Britelight(TM)" laser light source. JMAR`s operations include its laser and laser-produced plasma Research Division in San Diego, California; its Systems Division in Burlington, Vermont, where CPL Stepper Systems and other products are designed and manufactured; and its Microelectronics Division, based in Sacramento, California, where JMAR provides process integration and maintenance support for the U.S. Government`s Defense Microelectronics Activity semiconductor fabrication facility.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and many of which are beyond the company`s control. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including unanticipated delays in the efforts to improve the reliability of the Company`s CPL systems, delays in receipt of funding of government contracts, reductions in the expected amounts of government contract funding, and delays in or the inability to obtain other financing in a timely manner and other risks detailed in the Company`s 2002 Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 20, 2003.

OUR TAKE

Gaga Over Nano
By Tom Taulli
January 5, 2004
What`s a day trader to do on a light day like last Friday? Roll the dice on nanotech stocks, of course. On the most actives list -- among the Ciscos (Nasdaq: CSCO) and Microsofts (Nasdaq: MSFT) -- were stocks like Altair Nanotechnologies (Nasdaq: ALTI), which traded 10.9 million shares and had a stock-price surge of 21.3%.

Investors are going gaga over nano, especially in light of President Bush`s signing of the 21st Century Nanotech Research and Development Act, which commits $3.7 billion to nanotechnology research. (Quick science lesson: Nano stands for one-billionth; thus, in scientific terms, nanotechnology means dealing with small things, at the atomic level.)

It`s also a breakthrough discovery for small-cap hypesters. According to the buzz, nanotechnology will lead to cost-effective (and healthy) foods, faster and more efficient microchips, medical fluids (perhaps to reverse the aging process), rebuilding of the ozone layer, clean up of oil spills, and on and on.

But is an obscure company, such as Altair Nanotechnologies, ready to revolutionize the world?

It hasn`t so far in its 25-year history. Based in the hotbed of nanotech (Reno, Nev.), the company was initially in the business of mineral properties exploration. Then it focused on the acquisition, development, and testing of mineral processing equipment.

It`s been a bust. For the first nine months of 2003, the company had revenues of $42,029 and a net loss of $3.9 million.

In December, the company announced wide-scale restructuring: dump the losers and focus on the Big Prize of nano. It was a smart move, as the company was having a near-death experience. Now, it has raised money through option and warrant exercises, and plans an issue of common stock.

Also, in December, Congress funded a $2 million grant to Altair (along with two universities) for the development of nanosensors in detecting chemical, biological, and radiological agents in the environment.

But this is for research -- which, in the world of science, is a dicey thing. Commercialization is likely to take several years, if at all. And will a mere $2 million revolutionize the world?

Many scientists believe that nanotech is likely to take several decades to make its mark. But, at least in the near term, nanotech has been able to suspend the laws of nature for its small public companies, including JMAR Technologies (Nasdaq: JMAR), Nanogen (Nasdaq: NGEN), Nanophase Technologies (Nasdaq: NANX), and Harris & Harris Group (Nasdaq: TINY).

JMAR Receives Additional $3.5 Million Financing from Laurus Fund
Monday January 12, 8:30 am ET
$1.2 Million To Be Used to Pay Notes Due February 7, 2004


SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 12, 2004--JMAR Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:JMAR - News), has received $3.5 million in financing from the Laurus Master Fund, a New York City based equity fund that specializes in providing financing to growing, small and mid-capitalization companies.
ADVERTISEMENT


Pursuant to this financing, in two transactions in late December and in January, JMAR sold Laurus $2 million of 8% Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and $1.5 million of 8% Series E Convertible Preferred Stock, together with Warrants to purchase 290,000 shares of Common Stock. The Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into common shares at a fixed price and is redeemable, if not previously converted, in eighteen equal monthly payments starting in July 2004. The Series E Preferred Stock is also convertible into common shares at a fixed price and is redeemable, if not previously converted, in eighteen equal monthly payments starting in August 2004. The underlying shares are initially "restricted", but will be included in a resale registration statement to be filed later this month. JMAR intends to use these funds to extinguish $1.2 million in debt due February 7, 2004, to meet its working capital requirements including customary funding gaps related to the timing of receipt of funds under the Company`s government contracts and to support its technology commercialization plans.

Dennis E. Valentine, Chief Financial Officer of JMAR said, "Although we continue to have discussions with the representative of the noteholders of the $1.2 million in debt due in February 2004 with the goal of extinguishing this debt with stock or otherwise amending the terms of the debt, we felt it prudent to ensure that the cash was available for this payment if needed. This debt resulted from the acquisition by the Company of SAL, Inc. in August 2001. This financing will also help bridge the normal funding delays we expect to experience under our contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in 2004. Barring unforeseen circumstances, this financing satisfies our working capital financing needs for 2004."

Ronald A. Walrod, Chief Executive Officer of JMAR added, "Laurus has been very supportive of JMAR and this financing frees up our management team to focus on achieving our operational goals for the year."

Headquartered in San Diego, California, JMAR Technologies, Inc., is the originator of Collimated Plasma Lithography (CPL(TM)), a next-generation lithography (NGL) alternative designed to deliver affordable, sub-100 nanometer chip-making capability in a compact format to the semiconductor industry.

JMAR Awarded $3.5 Million in Contracts to Enhance Semiconductor Process at DMEA Installation in Sacramento
Thursday March 4, 8:30 am ET


SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 4, 2004--JMAR Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:JMAR - News), announced today that its Microelectronics Division has been awarded two new contracts totaling approximately $3.5 million to enhance and maintain the semiconductor fabrication processes installed at the Advanced Reconfigurable Manufacturing for Semiconductors (ARMS) foundry owned and operated by the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA) in Sacramento, California. General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems (GDAIS), a prime contractor for DMEA, issued these contracts to JMAR as an element of the DOD`s Advanced Technology Support Program (ATSP). Since the establishment of the ARMS foundry in 1999, JMAR has played a key role in the installation and implementation of that foundry`s chip fabrication processes, which include Complementary Metal-oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) gate array, Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-only Memory (EEPROM), and radiation tolerant ultra-thin silicon technologies.
ADVERTISEMENT


"The contract, two-thirds of which will be performed in 2004, continues JMAR`s long-standing relationships with GDAIS and the DMEA and underscores the Company`s unique role in sustaining and improving the ARMS foundry, which is an important part of the DMEA operations," said Mr. Ronald A. Walrod, President and Chief Executive Officer of JMAR. "We believe JMAR`s Microelectronics Division`s business will continue to grow as we support the DMEA and their mission continues to expand."

The DOD established the DMEA to solve the problem of microelectronics obsolescence over the extended lifetime of weapon systems. Its mission and capability is recognized as both unique and critical for the DOD as well as for other branches of the U.S. Government, including NASA, the FAA and the Department of Transportation.

DMEA`s advanced technology services and facilities are also available on a dual-use basis to the private sector through Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA). The JMAR CRADA and the Company`s access to the foundry position JMAR to enhance the ARMS foundry processes and to use those processes for commercial product manufacturing.

Under a contract awarded by General Dynamics in 1998, JMAR supported the DMEA in the design, construction and commissioning of the ARMS foundry upgrade. The foundry is a custom integrated circuit prototyping facility responsible for producing critical innovative microcircuits to replace obsolete military system electronics, thereby extending the operational lifetimes of those systems for substantial periods with attendant savings to the U.S. Government. JMAR maintains a semiconductor process engineering and operations group adjacent to DMEA`s facility in Sacramento. JMAR`s Sacramento staff will perform the work under the current contract on-site.

Mr. Walrod commented, "We believe our semiconductor processing group is unique in its ability to provide the DMEA with the highly specialized, long-term support it needs for the evaluation, selection, installation and implementation of these new semiconductor manufacturing processes. That support, which JMAR has been providing to the DMEA since the inception of the Sacramento foundry, has been instrumental in helping that organization fulfill its increasingly vital role in the nation`s defense." Mr. Walrod continued, "We are very confident that the DMEA`s success will bring with it expanded opportunities for JMAR, while at the same time increasing the value of the essential services it provides."

Headquartered in San Diego, California, JMAR Technologies, Inc., is the originator of Collimated Plasma Lithography (CPL(TM)), a next-generation lithography (NGL) alternative designed to deliver affordable, sub-100 nanometer chip-making capability in a compact format to the semiconductor industry.

This news release contains certain "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and many of which are beyond the company`s control. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including cancellation of government programs, delays in receipt of funding of government contracts, reductions in the expected amounts of government contract funding, delays and other unforeseen issues involved in the procurement of supplies, equipment and semiconductor fabrication processes required under the contracts and other risks detailed in the Company`s 2002 Form 10-K and Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 20, 2003. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements and no assurances can be given that such statements will be achieved.
