Concurrently with the closing of the qualifying transaction the resulting issuer
intends to complete an equity private placement financing raising gross proceeds
to Nanotech of a minimum of $2,000,000.


Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including
but not limited to, Exchange acceptance and if applicable pursuant to Exchange
requirements, majority of the minority shareholder approval. Where applicable,
the transaction cannot close until the required shareholder approval is
obtained. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed as
proposed or at all.
