year. The main sources of revenue during fiscal 2014 were from cryogenic

($198,383US) compared with ($327,631US) during the prior year. Cash flow from

1.  Cash flow used for operations is a non-GAAP term requested by the oil
    and gas investment community that represents net earnings adjusted for
    non-cash items including depreciation, depletion and amortization,
    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.
