"In addition, the hiring of Dr. Martin Moskovits as Chief Technology Officer and the recent acquisition of the assets of NanoOpto Corp. position API as a leader in the field of Nanotechnology. Looking to the year ahead, we expect these actions to begin to deliver tangible results for the company and our shareholders."

Operational Highlights

-- On November 6, 2006, API successfully completed its merger with
Rubincon Ventures Inc.;
-- On January 24, 2007, API acquired all the shares of the National

offering;

smallest 1553 transceiver in a plastic ball-grid array package;
-- During 2007, API secured a design win for a motor controller for
landing gear on the world's most advanced commercial aircraft.

Subsequent Events

-- In July 2007, the Company acquired the assets of NanoOpto Corp. This
acquisition provides API with state-of-the-art intellectual property and
facilities, positioning the Company as a top tier Nanotechnology research
and manufacturing partner to government and industry.
