	<li>
		Nine-month 2010 revenue up 57 percent</li>
	<li>
		Nine-month gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased 93 percent</li>
	<li>
		Nine-month net loss decreased 32 percent</li>
</ul><p>
	Nanophase CEO and President Jess Jankowski commented, "In an improving business environment and with the realignment of our marketing strategy, Nanophase has shown a significant improvement in sales over the past nine months. We continue to work closely with BASF, whose established presence and reputation for quality products within the personal care markets has made them a significant customer of our nano zinc oxide products for blocking UV rays in sunscreens and skincare products.&#xA0;Our strong relationship with BASF and other long-time customers in parallel with our customer direct strategy should generate revenue growth exceeding that of 2009 by 40 to 50 percent."&#xA0;&#xA0;&#xA0;</p><p>
	<strong>Third Quarter 2010</strong></p><ul>
	<li>
		Revenue was $2.1 million, an increase of 21 percent<i>,</i> when compared to revenue of $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2009.<br>
		&#xA0;</li>
	<li>
		Gross margin for the quarter was $0.5 million, or 23 percent of revenue, compared to a gross margin of $0.5 million, or 27 percent of revenue, for the third quarter of 2009.<br>
		&#xA0;</li>
	<li>
		The net loss for the quarter was $1.6 million, or a loss of $0.07 per share, when compared to a net loss of $0.9 million, or $0.04 per share, for the third quarter of 2009. The 2010 net loss includes the one-time charge of $0.7 million for the termination of an exclusive supply agreement.&#xA0;Net loss excluding the one-time charge would be consistent with third quarter 2009.<br>
		&#xA0;</li>
	<li>
		The balance sheet is strong with approximately $6.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has no debt.</li>
</ul><p>
	<strong>Nine months ended September 30, 2010</strong></p><ul>
	<li>
		Revenue was $7.4 million, an increase of 57 percent<i>,</i> when compared to revenue of $4.7 million for the same period of 2009.<br>
		&#xA0;</li>
	<li>
		Gross margin was $2.2 million, or 29 percent of revenue, a significant increase from a gross margin of $0.7 million, or 15 percent of revenue, for the same period of 2009.<br>
		&#xA0;</li>
	<li>
		The net loss was $2.9 million, or a loss of $0.13 per share, when compared to a net loss of $4.2 million, or $0.20 per share, for the same period of 2009.</li>
</ul><p>
	During the third quarter, Nanophase terminated a supplier exclusivity agreement with a long-term customer and signed a new, more traditional five-year supply agreement which will provide both companies more options and opportunities in their markets. With the termination of the former agreement, Nanophase recorded a $700,000 charge of which half was paid in cash and the other half in the form of product purchase credits.</p><p>
	Jankowski continued, "Our fourth quarter revenue is historically more difficult to predict as customers can make last minute inventory adjustments. With that said, we do project 2010 revenue growth of 40 to 50 percent higher than 2009 revenue &#x2013; a strong growth platform expected to flow into 2011."&#xA0;</p><p>
	<i>Shareholders and members of the financial community are encouraged to participate in tomorrow morning's conference call, where Mr. Jankowski will discuss highlights of the quarter and the company's exciting short and long-term prospects.</i></p><p>
	<strong>Third Quarter 2010 Conference Call&#xA0;</strong></p><p>
	Nanophase has scheduled its quarterly conference call for October 27, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. CDT (11:00 a.m. EDT). The call will be hosted by Jess Jankowski, president and CEO. To participate in the conference call, dial 877.312.8776, or 408.774.4007 for our international callers; the conference call identification is 17924296.

	<strong>Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information</strong></p><p>
	Nanophase believes that the presentation of results excluding certain items, such as severance charges and non-cash equity compensation charges, provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors, facilitating the evaluation of performance across reporting periods. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures for internal planning and reporting purposes. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or net income per share prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.</p><p>
