Corporation (Nasdaq: NANX), a technology leader in nanomaterials and nanoengineered products, today announced first quarter 2003 financial results. Based on the detailed financial statements accompanying this release, the Company&#146;s results are
stated approximately as follows. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">For the quarter
ending March 31, 2003, total revenue was $1.66 million compared with total revenue of $1.41 million for the same period in 2002, for revenue growth of 18% year-over-year. Product revenues equated to $1.35 million, or 81% of total revenues, and other
revenue was $314,000, primarily for equipment sales to the Company&#146;s licensee, C. I. Kasei Co., LTD, to increase capacity for its customers&#146; demand and its normal quarterly licensee fee. The bulk of product sales for the current quarter
were concentrated in personal care nanoproducts and polishing nanodispersions. The Company reported a net loss for the first quarter 2003 of $1.4 million, or $0.09 per share (fully diluted), compared with a net loss for the first quarter 2002 of
$1.5 million, or $0.11 per share (fully diluted). </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"
COLOR="#000000">&#147;Despite macroeconomic conditions and global issues, the first quarter&#146;s results are an encouraging start for 2003, since we currently expect revenues to be greater in the second half of the year as newer market
applications are ramped in usage,&#148; stated Joseph Cross, Nanophase&#146;s president and CEO. &#147;While there is softness in some markets due to the economy, new markets, such as polishing, are beginning to grow and we expect continued growth
during 2003. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">&#147;Through Nanophase&#146;s new

generation nanomaterials at a wide variety of applications, including fuel cells, chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP), ultrafine polishing, catalytic converters, and catalysis. We plan to introduce new NanoArc Synthesis<FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

focused on equipment and process utilization, yields, and variable manufacturing cost to continue to improve gross margins on products. During the quarter, we again reduced variable manufacturing cost by four percent to eight percent on our highest
volume products. The Company is now producing on two shifts the same volume of products that required three shifts during early 2002. In parallel, during the quarter, our manufacturing processes and facilities were certified to the most recent ISO
9001 international standards, which attest to the Company&#146;s robust process control and quality systems. </FONT></P>
