</B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Nanophase is a nanomaterials developer and commercial manufacturer with an integrated family of nanomaterial technologies. Nanophase
produces engineered nanomaterial products for use in a variety of diverse existing and developing markets: sunscreens, personal care, architectural coatings, industrial coating ingredients, abrasion-resistant applications, plastic additives, water
filtration, DNA biosensors and a variety of polishing applications, including semiconductors and optics. New markets and applications are also being developed. We target markets in which we believe practical solutions may be found using
nanoengineered products. We work with leaders in these targeted markets to identify and supply their material and performance requirements. The Company was incorporated in Illinois on November&nbsp;25, 1989, and became a Delaware corporation on
November&nbsp;30, 1997. The Company&#146;s common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol NANX. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We also recognize
regular other revenue in connection with a promissory note to BYK Chemie and from a technology license. These activities are not expected to drive the long-term growth of the business. Both the deferred and license revenue are recognized as
&#147;other revenue&#148; in the Company&#146;s Statement of Operations, as they do not represent revenue directly from sales of our nanocrystalline materials. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2"><B>(3) Change in Accounting Method </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We decided to change the method of accounting for patent costs during the fourth quarter of
2008. We now expense patent costs instead of capitalizing them. Prior practice was to begin the legal process of applying for patents, then record all associated costs as intangible assets. If a patent were granted, the costs would continue to be
capitalized and amortized over the estimated economic life of the patent. If a patent application were rejected or abandoned, the unamortized cost would then be expensed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">With the increase in time required to obtain a patent now extending to several years, it has become less likely that the invention underlying that patent would still be valuable to our business at the time of
issuance. In addition, the lack of direct experience with patent assets protecting our products and revenue streams has caused us to reconsider our ability to assign value to such assets. In addition, we concluded that the rejection of certain
claims following a protracted re-examination proceeding by the US Patent and Trademark Office that was finalized during 2008 would not materially harm our business. For these and other reasons, we believe that it is no longer reasonable to predict
whether a patent will be granted, when it will be granted or whether all the claims in a granted patent ultimately will be upheld.&nbsp;Therefore, management believes it is preferable to expense all patent costs incurred as period costs.&nbsp;The
expensing of patent costs as a period cost will more closely align these expenses with the time when we expect to recognize the related revenue from the patented technology. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">As of June&nbsp;30, 2009, our remaining investments in auction rate securities (&#147;ARS&#148;)
totaled $5.34 million, net of impairment charge. These ARS holdings in the Company&#146;s investment portfolio have experienced &#147;failed auctions&#148; due to a lack of available buyers for them on their expected auction dates. An auction
failure means that parties wishing to sell their securities could not be matched with an adequate volume of buyers. In the event there is a failed auction the indenture governing the security requires the issuer to pay interest at a contractually
defined rate. Despite these failed auctions, there have been no defaults on the underlying securities and investment income on these ARS holdings. They have been issued through the Federal Family Education Loan Program (&#147;FFELPs Loans&#148;) and
carry an AAA credit rating. These FFELPs Loans are guaranteed to 97% of their $6 million value by the Department of Education and we are not aware of any defaults or threatened defaults by any of the underlying securities, the risk of which we
believe to be very low. However, these failed auctions have caused us to change the level of inputs to determine their fair values. These values were estimated as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 by an independent appraisal firm, Houlihan, Smith&nbsp;&amp;
Company, Inc., using a discounted cash flow model. Since these inputs were not observable they are classified as Level 3 inputs (see Note 4). As a result, for the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, we recognized an &#147;other than temporary
impairment loss&#148; on the ARS&#146;s in the amount of $660,000, thus reducing the $6 million in nominal value to $5.34 million in net carrying value. We believe that the fair value estimates made for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 have not
changed through June&nbsp;30, 2009, and therefore, no changes to the carrying value of these investments have been made. We will continue to monitor the creditworthiness of the companies underwriting these securities and make any adjustments we deem
necessary to reflect the fair value of these securities. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">It is our intention to sell these instruments for as close to their $6 million

development agreement with Altana Chemie, that have contingencies outlined in them which could potentially result in the license of technology and/or the sale of production equipment, providing capacity sufficient to meet the customer&#146;s
production needs, from the Company to the customer, if triggered by the Company&#146;s failure to meet certain performance requirements, certain other obligations and/or certain financial condition covenants. The financial condition covenants in one
of these supply agreements with BASF &#147;trigger&#148; a technology transfer (license and, optionally, an equipment sale) in the event (a)&nbsp;that earnings of the Company for a twelve month period ending with its most recently published
quarterly financial statements are less than zero and its cash and cash equivalent investments are less than $2,000,000, (b)&nbsp;of an acceleration of any debt maturity having a principal amount of more than $10,000,000, or (c)&nbsp;of the
Company&#146;s insolvency, as further defined within the agreement. In the event of an equipment sale, upon incurring a triggering event, the equipment would be sold to the customer at 115% of the equipment&#146;s net book value. Under another of
our supply agreements with BASF, upon the Company&#146;s breach of its contractual obligations to BASF, we would be required to sell BASF certain production equipment at the greater of 30% of the original book value of such equipment, and any
associated upgrades to it, or 115% of the equipment&#146;s net book value. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We believe that we have sufficient cash and investment
balances, including the value of the ARS portfolio and the potential value implicit in our debt-free balance sheet as of July 2009, to avoid the first triggering event under the supply agreement with BASF through 2010 and beyond. If a triggering
event were to occur and BASF elected to proceed with the license and related equipment sale mentioned above, we would receive royalty payments from this customer for products sold using the Company&#146;s technology; however, we would lose both
significant revenue and the ability to generate significant revenue to replace that which was lost in the near term. Replacement of necessary equipment that could be purchased and removed by the customer pursuant to this triggering event could take
in excess of twelve months. Any additional capital outlays required to rebuild capacity would probably be greater than the proceeds from the purchase of the assets as dictated by our agreement with the customer. Similar consequences would occur if
we were determined to have materially breached certain other provisions of the supply agreement with BASF or our technology development agreement with Altana Chemie. Any such event would also likely result in the loss of many of our key staff and
line employees due to economic realities. We believe that our employees are a critical component of our success and could be difficult to replace them quickly. Given the occurrence of any such event, we might not be able to hire and retain skilled
employees given the stigma relating to such an event and its impact on the Company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>(9) Business Segmentation and Geographical Distribution

consistency in the accounting and financial reporting for business combinations. SFAS&nbsp;141(R) establishes new disclosure requirements and, among other things, requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to record contingent
consideration payable, to expense transaction costs, and to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at acquisition-date fair value. This standard is effective for the beginning of the Company&#146;s first fiscal year beginning after
December&nbsp;15, 2008. SFAS 141(R) will have a significant impact on the accounting for future business combinations after the effective date and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and subsequent periods. We adopted the
provisions of SFAS 141(R) during the first quarter 2009 and will apply its provisions for any future business combinations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In December

standards for the minority or noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary or variable interest entity and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary or variable interest entity. Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and
classified as a component of equity. It also establishes a single method of accounting for changes in a parent&#146;s ownership interest in a subsidiary and requires expanded disclosures. SFAS 160 is effective for the beginning of the Company&#146;s
first fiscal year beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2008, and requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. We adopted the provisions of SFAS 160 during the first quarter 2009 and it

subsequent events and the basis for that date&#151;that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This disclosure is intended to alert all users of financial statements that an
entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. SFAS 165 is effective on a prospective basis for interim or annual periods ending after June&nbsp;15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of
SFAS 165 this quarter and it had no effect on our financial position or results of operations. We evaluated for disclosure any subsequent events through the August&nbsp;12, 2009 filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and determined there

family of nanomaterial technologies. Nanophase produces engineered nanomaterials for use in a variety of diverse markets: sunscreens, architectural coatings, industrial coatings, ingredients, personal care, abrasion-resistant applications, plastics
additives, water filtration, DNA biosensors and a variety of polishing applications, including semiconductors and optics. We target markets in which we feel practical solutions may be found using nanoengineered products. Toward that end, we work
closely with leaders in these target markets to identify their material and performance requirements and market material solutions to various end-use applications manufacturers. More recently developed technologies have made certain new products
possible and opened potential new markets. We have added a large number of potential customers to our sales funnel during the past six months, many with new applications for our material technologies, and are in various stages of qualification with
them. Some of these qualification cycles may take as little as six months, while others may take 2-4 years, if not longer. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On
August&nbsp;25, 2006, the Company sold, in a private placement to Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials CMP Holdings, Inc., 847,918 shares of common stock at $5.90 per share and received gross proceeds of $5.0 million. In accordance with our agreement,
we plan to file a registration statement for these shares on Form S-3 during 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our revenue depends largely on the performance of the
consumer products and exterior coatings markets. Both have been impacted by the global recession and the focus of firms that are or might be our customers to reduce their inventories and focus on cheaper products that are less likely to contain our
higher performance materials. The exterior coatings market is further directly impacted by the housing industry, which has suffered a severe negative trend and is only recently showing signs of stabilizing. It is our intention to broaden our market
reach to avoid excessive reliance on any particular customer or industry. We are doing this by addressing several market segments with targeted solutions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

2009, compared to $2,944,406 and $5,998,514 for the same periods in 2008. A substantial majority of the our revenue for the three and six month periods ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 is from our two largest customers. See Note 8 to the Financial
Statements for additional information regarding the revenue the Company derived from these customers for the three and six month periods ended June&nbsp;30, 2009. Product revenue decreased to $1,500,733 and $2,797,546 for the three and six months
ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, compared to $2,811,626 and $5,754,347 for the same periods in 2008. The decrease in product revenue was primarily attributed to decreased sales from our largest customer, a portion of which management attributes to an
aggressive inventory reduction program that has been felt across our and many other industries, and a decrease in sales to its largest architectural coatings customer, which may have been impacted by inventory cost control issues and the current
state of the housing market, as well as decreased sales to Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials and BYK-Chemie. We and BASF currently have a technology agreement in place that has led to the joint development of the second generation of sunscreen
nanomaterials for other potential personal care applications. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Cost of revenue generally includes costs associated with commercial production and customer development arrangements. Cost of revenue decreased to $1,430,363 and $2,745,287 for the three and six months ended
June&nbsp;30, 2009, compared to $1,836,276 and $3,836,484 for the same periods in 2008. The decrease in cost of revenue was generally attributed to decreased revenue volume, along with decreases in commodity metals pricing, reduction in
manufacturing overhead and the continued efficiencies in reducing our remaining variable manufacturing costs for nanomaterials. These decreases were partially offset by inefficiencies due to decreased utilization of production assets. We expect to
continue new nanomaterial development, primarily using our NanoArc<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="1"><SUP STYLE="vertical-align:baseline; position:relative; bottom:.8ex">&reg;</SUP></FONT> synthesis and dispersion technologies, for targeted
applications and new markets through 2009 and beyond. Even at current revenue levels we have generated a positive gross margin, though margins have been impeded by not having enough revenue to efficiently absorb manufacturing overhead that is
required to work with current customers and expected future customers. We eliminated twelve positions within the Operations group as a result of a cost savings initiative implemented in the first quarter of 2009 that we expect will have a positive
near-term impact on margins. Management continues to believe that the current fixed manufacturing cost structure is sufficient to support significantly higher levels of production, given current revenue mix and resultant product revenue. The extent
to which margins continue to grow, as a percentage of total revenue, will be dependent upon revenue mix, revenue volume, our ability to manage costs and our ability to pass commodity market-driven raw materials increases on to its customers. With
product revenue volume increases, more of our fixed manufacturing costs would be absorbed, leading to increased margins. We expect to continue to focus on reducing controllable variable product manufacturing costs through 2009 and beyond, with
potential offsetting increases in the commodity metals markets, but may or may not continue to see absolute dollar gross margin growth through 2009 and beyond, dependent upon the factors discussed above. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Research and development expense, which includes all expenses relating to the technology and advanced engineering groups, primarily consists of costs
associated with the development or acquisition of new product applications and coating formulations and the cost of enhancing the Company&#146;s manufacturing processes. In another example, we have been and continue to be engaged in research to
enhance our ability to disperse material in a variety of organic and inorganic media for use as coatings and polishing materials. Much of this work has led to several new products and additional potential new products for use by BYK-Chemie and other
customers of Nanophase. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Now that we have demonstrated the capability to produce pilot quantities of mixed-metal oxides in a single crystal
phase, we do not expect development of further variations on these materials to present material technological challenges. Many of these materials exhibit performance characteristics that can enable them to serve in various catalytic applications.
Management is now working on several related commercial opportunities. We expect that this technique should not be difficult to scale to large quantity commercial volumes once application viability and firm demand are established. We also have an
ongoing advanced engineering effort that is primarily focused on the development of new nanomaterials as well as the refinement of existing nanomaterials, as dictated by our customer-driven marketing strategy. We are not certain when or if any
significant revenue will be generated from the production of the materials described above. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Research and development expense decreased to

months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, compared to $1,529,643 and $3,104,387 for the same periods in 2008. The net decrease, quantified for the six month period, was primarily attributed to decreases in salary expense ($590,000), legal fees ($180,000) and
non-cash stock compensation ($125,000) expenses. These decreases were partially offset by increased consulting fees ($44,000). </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In the
first quarter of 2009, we announced the resignations of Mr.&nbsp;Robert Haines, our then-current Vice-President of Operations, and Dr.&nbsp;Richard Brotzman, our then-current Chief Technology Officer. Additionally, we eliminated twelve positions
within the Operations group as a result of a reorganization plan implemented to align the organization with current demand based upon current economic conditions and the Company&#146;s shift in strategy to develop a more customer-focused direct
selling approach. During this process, management continues to seek to build its marketing and applications development capabilities. As a result of the above resignations, the Company incurred a total of $794,069 of cash and non-cash severance
charges. Included in these charges were salaries and benefits, accelerated vesting of stock options (non-cash) and other expenses. Of these charges, approximately $211,000 or 27% were related to the accelerated vesting of stock option which have no
cash impact and are expected to have a minimal dilutive effect if any. We believe that the impact of all cost savings and realignment measures over the past twelve months will be an annual savings of approximately $2 million. </FONT></P> <P

cash used in our operating activities was $2,133,156 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009, compared to $717,918 for the same period in 2008, which is a direct result of a significant decrease in revenue (approximately $3 million), partially
offset by certain cost savings initiatives described previously. Net cash provided by investing activities, which is due to maturities of securities and to a lesser extent capital expenditures offset partially by purchases of securities, amounted to
$3,142,841 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 compared to $1,053,990 for the same period in 2008. Capital expenditures amounted to $88,663 and $206,950 for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Net cash used in

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On July&nbsp;2, 2007, we issued and sold 1,900,000 shares of common stock pursuant to a registration
statement filed on May&nbsp;22, 2007 and declared effective by the SEC on May&nbsp;31, 2007 to certain institutional investors at a purchase price of $5.92 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $11.2 million and net proceeds of approximately
$10.5 million. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our supply agreement with our largest customer contains several financial covenants which could potentially impact our
liquidity. The most restrictive financial covenants under this agreement require that we maintain a minimum of $2 million in cash and cash equivalent investments, and that we not have the acceleration of any debt maturity having a principal amount
of more than $10 million, in order to avoid triggering a transfer of certain technology and sale of related equipment to this customer. It is, of course, in our best interest to avoid such a transfer. We had approximately $ 4.3&nbsp;million in cash,
cash equivalents and current investments (excluding ARS) on June&nbsp;30, 2009. In addition, we had a gross value of $6 million of ARS as of that date that could be sold at a discount or used to obtain funding, as discussed below. Our debt position
renders the acceleration issue inapplicable to our current situation, indeed we became debt-free when our final loan payment was made during July 2009. This supply agreement and its covenants are more fully described in Note 8 to our Financial
Statements. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For many reasons, our cash position has decreased significantly during the past year. Customers have more aggressively reduced
their inventories, which has decreased our order flow. We have started to see this pattern reverse slightly, but customers remain very concerned about managing inventory levels. We have also seen certain customers more inclined to focus on cost than
performance, which has impeded new formulation development that may include our materials, as well as pressure on existing customers to reduce the amount of material purchased from us in an attempt to control short term costs. In addition, we have
expended significant efforts in trying to qualify for new markets. While we believe this to be the right course of action for future revenue growth, the early stages of this process tend to result in trial activity, which we expect to become
commercial revenue over time. Some industries require two or more years of qualification prior to potential acceptance. For this reason we have begun the qualification process with several potential customers in a number of industries, and continue
to look for market applications for which we can begin this qualification process. We have also repaid more than $1 million in debt during 2009, with our final payment made during July 2009. While these payments have reduced our cash position, they
have left us debt-free as of July 2009, and the lack of these payments in the future will reduce the related cash outflows we experienced during 2009. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We adapted our business during the past twelve months to be more lean and efficient. This has reduced the cost of running our business, and will be even more apparent once severance payments have concluded (see
footnote 10 on severance). This cost reduction has helped us withstand the drop in our commercial revenue, and we expect will help optimize our financial performance with increases in revenue that we expect. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We believe that cash from operations, cash and equivalents and investments on hand, including the value of the ARS portfolio, will be adequate to fund
our operating plans through 2010 and for the foreseeable future. The Company&#146;s actual future capital requirements in 2009 and beyond will depend, however, on many factors, including customer acceptance of our current and potential nanomaterials
and product applications, continued progress in our research and development activities and product testing programs, the magnitude of these activities and programs, and the costs necessary to increase and expand our manufacturing capabilities and
to market and sell our materials and product applications. Other important issues that will drive future capital requirements will be the development of new markets and new customers as well as the potential for significant business growth with
existing customers. We expect that capital spending relating to currently known capital needs for the remainder of 2009 will be less than $250,000 but could be even greater due to the factors discussed above. </FONT></P> <P

investment income on these ARS holdings. They have been issued through the Federal Family Education Loan Program (&#147;FFELPs Loans&#148;) and carry an AAA credit rating. These FFELPs Loans are guaranteed to 97% of their $6 million value by the
Department of Education. However, these failed auctions have caused us to change the level of inputs to determine their fair values. These values were estimated as of December&nbsp;31, 2008 by an independent appraisal firm, Houlihan,
Smith&nbsp;&amp; Company, Inc., using a discounted cash flow model. Since these inputs were not observable they are classified as Level 3 inputs (see Note 4). As a result, for the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2008, we recognized an &#147;other
than temporary impairment loss&#148; on the ARS&#146;s in the amount of $660,000, thus reducing the $6 million in nominal value to $5.34 million in net carrying value. We believe that the fair value estimates made for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2008 have not changed through June&nbsp;30, 2009, and therefore, no changes to the carrying value of these investments have been made. We will continue to monitor the creditworthiness of the companies underwriting these securities

future utilization of this carryforward may be subject to certain limitations as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. A layer of the carryforward expired in 2008 and another is expected to expire in 2009. If not utilized, the remaining carryforward
will expire at various dates between January&nbsp;1, 2010 and December&nbsp;31, 2028. As a result of the annual limitation and uncertainty as to the amount of future taxable income that will be earned prior to the expiration of the carryforward, we
