California Nanotechnologies Corp. ("Cal Nano" or the "Company") is pleased to
report record financial results for the 4th quarter and year ended February 28,
2014. For fiscal 2014, revenues increased 43% to $373,481US ($415,804CAD)
compared to $261,302US ($268,025CAD) in 2013. Gross margin for the year was 87%
which was unchanged from fiscal 2013. This improvement in revenues was due
primarily to increases in the oil and gas and sports and recreational divisions.
In the fourth quarter, Cal Nano achieved record quarterly results with revenues
of $175,172US ($195,023CAD), an increase of 338% over the same quarter last
year. The main sources of revenue during fiscal 2014 were from cryogenic
milling, research projects, engineering services and the sale of commercial
parts made from advanced nano-engineered materials.
The Company's cash flow provided by (used for) operations (1) for the year was
($198,383US) compared with ($327,631US) during the prior year. Cash flow from
operations (1) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 neared break-even at
($6,310US).
Cal Nano's net loss for the year was $302,365US ($336,629CAD) or $0.01 per
share, compared to a loss of $531,811US ($545,494CAD) or $0.02 per share in the
prior year. Amortization and depreciation expense and salaries, wages and
benefits, research, and supplies were the greatest expense items. Overall
operating expenses of $619,161US were lower by 12% when compared to the prior
year.

deferred taxes, asset write-downs and gains (losses) on sale of assets,
if any.
The Company's immediate short-term objectives will be to install larger scale
production systems to meet the growing demand for the nano-engineered materials
currently produced by Cal Nano. The Company has recently purchased a larger
high-energy attritor to be adapted and modified for advanced cryogenic
processing, increasing the Company's cryomilling capacity by a factor of six.
The company is continuing to develop new technology and is sourcing new
opportunities through collaborations and partnerships with select universities
and tier one production suppliers.
Subsequent to year end, Cal Nano completed a private placement raising gross
proceeds of $714,190 CAD. As a result of this transaction, Cal Nano currently
has 31,230,296 shares issued and outstanding.
"Management is very pleased with financial results achieved in fiscal 2014 and
those obtained in Q1/15. Revenues in Q1 were approximately $159,575US
($172,959CAD) and the movement toward cash flow break-even strengthens the
company's financial position while allowing management to focus on moving Cal
Nano's products toward commercialization. With increasing revenues, high
margins, and several research and development projects scheduled for completion
in the near future, management remains optimistic as the Company transitions
into the commercial marketplace," stated Christopher Melnyk, CEO.
