These statements may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors, including general economic conditions, spending levels, market acceptance of product lines, the recent economic slowdown affecting technology companies, the future success of scientific studies, ability to successfully develop products, rapid technological change, changes in demand for future products, legislative, regulatory and competitive developments and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations. Advance Nanotech&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K, recent and forthcoming Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and recent Current Reports and other SEC filings discuss some of the important risk factors that may affect Advance Nanotech&#8217;s business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.</font></div>

(&#8220;Owlstone&#8221;).&#160;&#160;Our objective for some time has been to pursue a transaction with Owlstone where Advance Nanotech and Owlstone would merge in a stock-for-stock transaction.&#160;&#160;To complete such a merger, among other things, Advance Nanotech would have needed to secure capital to refinance its debt prior to the merger.&#160;&#160;We have spoken to a number of investors who would be interested in providing financing to Advance Nanotech in that context, which would provide Advance Nanotech with the liquidity needed to repay its debt.&#160;&#160;&#160;Unfortunately, Owlstone&#8217;s management and board have determined that they are not interested in becoming a public company at this time, nor are they willing to commit to a specific timetable or process by which Owlstone would become public via a combination with Advance Nanotech.&#160;&#160;As a result, it has been challenging to raise capital for Advance Nanotech as a minority, non-control owner of Owlstone, with no other operating business and a capital structure constrained by the terms of our existing Notes and related warrants.</font></div>

("Owlstone"). Owlstone is a pioneer in the commercialization of chemical detection products. The Owlstone detector is a revolutionary dime-sized sensor that can be programmed to detect a wide range of chemical agents that may be present in extremely small quantities. Using leading-edge micro- and nano-fabrication techniques, Owlstone has created a complete chemical detection sensor that is significantly smaller and can be produced more cost effectively than products using existing technology. There are numerous applications -- across industries from security and defense to industrial process, air quality control and healthcare -- that depend on the rapid, accurate detection and measurement of chemical compounds. Owlstone works with market leaders within these industries to integrate the detector into next generation chemical sensing products and solutions. Owlstone's technology offers a unique combination of benefits, including small size, low manufacturing costs, minimal power consumption, reduced false-positives, and a customizable platform.
