Operating Highlights

During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, API achieved significant milestones that positioned the Company to further grow its business and accelerate its entrance into new markets enabled by Nanotechnology and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS).

-- In July 2007, the Company acquired the assets and intellectual property
of NanoOpto Corp.;

- Fully integrated substantially all of NanoOpto's manufacturing group
and key design engineers;

- Realized fully operational status of NanoOpto's state-of-the-art
nanofabrication facility within 30 days of purchase; and

- Obtained immediate and strong interest from industry for product
samples and product development; and

-- On June 11 and 12, 2007, API's Chief Technology Officer and leading
global nano scientist, Dr. Martin Moskovits, presented at the Third
Annual NanoEquity Europe Conference in Frankfurt, Germany, where he
discussed API and the impact of nanotechnology on the markets the
Company serves.

"We are very pleased with the results achieved in the first quarter of fiscal 2008," stated Phillip DeZwirek, Chairman and CEO of API. "The acquisition of National Hybrid is already showing very positive results, as is Filtran, which experienced strong year-over-year revenue growth of 20%. Operationally, the addition of NanoOpto Corp. is an extremely important development as it accelerated our entrance into the business of creating next generation nanotechnology-based products. We are very encouraged by the current level of activity at NanoOpto, especially considering the brief period it has been operational. We believe it is a powerful acquisition that will yield tremendous synergies and opportunities going forward."
