API Nanotronics' National Hybrid and Pulse Introduce Bus+(TM), the World's Only Data Bus 1553 Product to Combine Transformer and Transceiver in a Single Package

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - August 13, 2009) - API Nanotronics Corp. (OTCBB: APIA) ("API" or
the "Company"), a leading supplier of electronic systems and sub-systems,
components, encryption, secure communications, nano-optics and
nanotechnology products to the aerospace, defense and communications
sectors today announced that its National Hybrid division (NHI) in
collaboration with an industry partner, Pulse, a Technitrol company, have
introduced Bus+™, the world's smallest 1553 data bus
transceiver/transformer integrated into a single package.

Avionics and defense contractors require the best and most reliable
components for their products, with miniaturization being a key
characteristic, especially in air-borne applications. NHI and Pulse are
proven leaders in the design and manufacture of components for MIL-STD-1553
data bus applications. As aircraft and remotely commanded vehicles become
more sophisticated and capable, component manufacturers must respond with
solutions that allow more functionality to be integrated into an
ever-diminishing piece of board real-estate. This must be done through the
use of
high-technology miniaturization, allowing components to do more, in smaller
formats that consume less power. NHI and Pulse have responded to this
challenge by integrating the MIL-STD-1553 transceiver and transformer in a
single package: the Bus+ offers customers superior flexibility and
functionality in a low-power-consumption, small footprint package.

Stephen B. Pudles, Chief Executive Officer of API Nanotronics Inc., said,
"1553 Data bus offers great opportunity for innovative companies. We are
responding to market needs and developing new products for our customers.
NHI recently partnered with Sital Technologies to develop Aries™, a
superior 1553 data bus Terminal solution with an industry leading IP core.
We have now partnered with Pulse, a world leader in miniature transformer
design to offer customers Bus+. We are proud of this collaboration and have
high expectations for this product."

"Pulse has partnered with NHI, a world class leader in MIL-STD-1553 data
bus technology, to develop an integrated transceiver/transformer that
allows avionics designers a higher level of design flexibility. By merging
what has traditionally been two separate board level products into one,
Bus+ will offer a truly innovative product utilizing the latest in
manufacturing technologies to achieve higher levels of reliability and
performance than what has been offered to industry in the past," explained
Estro Vitantonio, General Manager of the Pulse Military/Aerospace Division.
