	<strong>2010 Highlights</strong></p><p>
	Increased revenue by 50 percent</p><p>
	Focused on delivering high margin products with greater cost efficiency</p><p>
	Executed a solid business strategy</p><p>
	Experienced strategic growth in target markets</p><p>
	<strong>Fourth Quarter</strong></p><ul>
	<li>
		Revenue for the quarter was $2.0 million, a 29 percent increase, when compared to revenue of $1.6 million for the 2009 fourth quarter.</li>
	<li>
		Gross margin for the quarter was $0.4 million, or 18 percent of revenue, versus gross margin $0.2 million, or 14 per cent of revenue, for the comparable 2009 quarter.</li>
</ul><p>
	<strong>Year-End December 31, 2010</strong></p><ul>
	<li>
		Revenue for the year was $9.5 million, a 50 percent increase, when compared to revenue of $6.3 million for the same period in 2009.</li>
	<li>
		Gross margin for the year was $2.5 million, or 27 percent of revenue, an increase of $1.5 million, or 165 percent of gross margin dollars, versus gross margin of $1.0 million, or 15 percent of revenue for the full year of 2009.</li>
	<li>
		Net loss for the year was $4.1 million, or $0.19 per share. The net loss for the same period in 2009 was $4.9 million, or $0.23 per share. Results for 2010 include a $0.7 million contract termination charge, while 2009 results include a $0.8 million severance charge partially offset by a $440,000 impairment charge recovery related to financial instruments.</li>
</ul><p>
	<strong>Looking Ahead to</strong> <strong>2011</strong></p><p>
	"We set a number of significant milestones for 2010 and 2011. Many were successfully met in 2010 and are the basis for our optimism looking toward 2011," said Nanophase CEO Jess Jankowski. "These milestones were as follows:</p><ul>
	<li>
		We strengthened our business relationship with BASF as a provider of materials for their personal care products.</li>
	<li>
		Our new relationship with Altana AG allows Nanophase more flexibility to pursue various market segments more directly, while still providing high quality products to Altana.</li>
	<li>
		We grew our strategic customer pipeline for our products targeting the $2 billion coatings industry; we expect to see an up-trend in revenue from this pipeline during 2011 and building in 2012.</li>
	<li>
		The introduction of a new product line, NanoUltra&#x2122; developed for commercial window cleaning and restoration.&#xA0;This introduction positioned the company to explore the $9 billion consumer market during 2011.&#xA0;</li>
	<li>
		We developed and tested product solutions for customers with unmet needs in our top tier markets. A number of these products are expected to deliver revenue in 2011.</li>
	<li>
		We have a cohesive, strategically aligned management team that thinks entrepreneurially."</li>
</ul><p>
	Jankowski continued, "We had a good year and I am particularly pleased with the increase in revenue and the improved gross margins. With the successful execution of our business strategy and the progress we have made in our customer direct business model, we move into 2011 with confidence and a more complete set of solutions. Your management team is optimistic for a successful 2011."</p><p>
	Shareholders and members of the financial community are encouraged to participate in the conference call, where Mr. Jankowski will be discussing the company's current and long-term prospects.</p><p>

	<strong>Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information</strong></p><p>
	Nanophase believes that the presentation of results excluding certain items, including 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>
