"Our growth trajectory continued though the end of 2021 and continues today," said Sean Krakiwksy, Chief Executive Office of Nanalysis.  "After a solid fourth quarter we closed a banner year in 2021 for Nanalysis.  Over a month ago we closed our acquisition of K'Prime and subsequently announced the acquisition of Quad Systems.  We couldn't have been more pleased with the interest in our recent equity offering, resulting in an upsizing to satisfy demand.   As I look into 2022, we will not be entering into any other acquisitions, we will focus on the integration of K'Prime and Quad Systems and focus on growing our sales with our current and future products.  We truly believe we have set the stage to continue our growth trajectory into 2022, 2023 and beyond."

• Annual gross revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 of approximately $16 million , representing an increase of up to 103% year over year.
• Gross margins anticipated in the range of 63% to 65% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 .

Recent strategic and operational highlights include:

• Closed Marketed public offering and private placement for   combined gross proceeds of $15,224,700   : These funds will be used to complete the acquisition of QUAD systems, provide working capital and accelerate organic growth.
• Announced Acquisition of Quad Systems: As part of the agreement, Nanalysis has provided Quad Systems with a CHF 1,000,000 loan (Loan) which is convertible into shares in the capital of Quad Systems, Nanalysis will the subscribe for 260,000 Quad Systems shares for cash consideration of CHF 6,500,000 (Equity Investment). On completion of the Equity Investment a second representative of Nanalysis will be appointed to Quad Systems' Board of Directors. At this stage, Nanalysis will own 43% of Quad Systems. Until July 1, 2023 (Option Period), Nanalysis has an option (Option) to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Quad Systems at a pre-set valuation formula in a combination of cash and majority Nanalysis shares. During the Option Period, Nanalysis has a right of first refusal on all debt and equity offerings of Quad Systems.
• Announced closing of the acquisition of K'(Prime) Technologies ("Kprime"): Kprime a North American sales and service company, with a particular focus on scientific instrumentation for pharma, food, chemical and oil & gas customers, as well as imaging systems for security applications. Over the past four fiscal years KPrime's unaudited revenue has been between C$8 million and C$10 million with positive EBIDTA ⁽¹⁾ of roughly $1.0 to $1.5 million per year.
• The Company delivered 13 100 MHz units in the Fourth Quarter and as at February 17, 2022 has 31 on back order . The expansion of the manufacturing facility has been completed and the newly trained manufacturing personnel are ramping up production.

Outlook
Sean Krakiwsky states, "Our current business for our flagship products, the 100MHz and 60MHz, remains very strong and we see this continuing.  We are now able to continue to expand with a full sales and service organization in multiple additional channels with the addition of K'Prime.  Conversely, K'Prime can now pursue RFP's and contracts that they were previously unable to as a stand-alone company. Quad Systems allows us to enter the high-end part of the market, expand our product line offerings and to leverage the capabilities of both Company's technology suites.  We are confident these acquisitions will both help fuel our growth for the years to come."
