LATEST NEWS!! American Petro-Hunter Updates Preparations for Oil Production at Rooney Project -- Company Adds Additional Acreage to Holdings SCOTTSDALE, AZ, Jan 04, 2010 -- American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH) ("American Petro-Hunter" or the "Company") today announced that site preparations at the #24-1 Double H well are nearing completion in readiness for the commencement of full scale commercial oil and gas production at the Kansas based Rooney Project.

Surface facilities will be complete following this week's delivery of the 600 barrel tank battery thereby ensuring the well will go on pump January 9th at an anticipated rate of 200 barrels per day. The pump-jack, electrical supply and all onsite oil and gas lines have been installed. The natural gas line requires a 3/8th mile tie-in to a nearby commercial pipeline and is slated to be completed shortly.

The Company is also pleased to report that an additional 3 sections of land totaling 1,920 acres have been leased increasing the current Rooney Project land position to over 7,000 acres. With plans to drill 10 wells in the upcoming year at the rate of one new well every month, the added acreage could result in the identification and development of further well locations subject to additional seismic research.

As previously reported, a review of the Rooney engineering and seismic data has indicated that this newly discovered oil and gas reservoir has a potential aerial extent exceeding the acreage of existing nearby oil fields in the area that have produced in excess of 2.5 million barrels of oil. If the Company is successful in its initial 10 well drill program and should the entire seismically indicated target prove productive, Rooney could mature into a full field development project offering a recovery scenario in excess of 3 million barrels of oil based on this comparative analogy.

About the Rooney Project: The Rooney Project is located in southwestern Ford County, Kansas 20 miles due south of Dodge City and totals 7,040 acres adjacent to the north edge of existing Morrow Sand oil and gas production. The initial discovery well, #24-1 Double H is anticipated to begin production at rates over 200 barrels per day. After a review of the 3D seismic data in conjunction with the electronic logs, the potential barrels of oil associated well and oil pool is currently estimated at 500,000 barrels. The Company and partners have developed a minimum of 10 target locations to drill that could enable the Company to add 8 additional wells to its portfolio by the end of the third quarter of 2010. The operator of the project is S&W Oil & Gas, LLC of Wichita, Kansas. Please visit www.americanpetrohunter.com to view background information on the project as well as recent photos of drilling operations in Kansas.

About American Petro-Hunter, Inc. (OTCBB: AAPH) The Company is a goal-oriented exploration and production (E&P) Company aiming to become an intermediate level oil and gas producer within 12 months.

LATEST NEWS!! New Energy Achieves Major 'Transparency' Breakthrough in Development of See-Thru Windows Capable of Generating Electricity Researchers replace 'visibility-blocking' metal with transparent, environmentally-friendly compounds which collect electricity generated on the Company's SolarWindow(TM), currently under development.

BURTONSVILLE, Md., Jan 04, 2010 -- New Energy Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: NENE), currently developing MotionPower(TM) technologies for generating electricity from the kinetic energy of moving vehicles and SolarWindow(TM) technologies capable of generating electricity on glass windows, today announced that researchers have overcome a significant scientific hurdle in creating the first-of-its-kind see-thru solar glass by replacing a visibility-blocking solid metal component with environmentally-friendly, non-metallic, transparent compounds.

"Metal materials block visibility, and are arguably the most important hindrance to developing a commercially viable solar glass window product," explained Mr. Meetesh V. Patel, President and CEO of New Energy Technologies, Inc. "We have successfully replaced the metal contact component in our SolarWindow(TM) with non-metallic compounds, and in so doing, achieved significantly greater transparency, a key factor in advancing our technology along the commercial product development path. The importance of this breakthrough cannot be overstated." To-date, one of the biggest obstacles faced by researchers developing New Energy's SolarWindow(TM) technology has been the presence of metal, an opaque material which blocks all visibility and prevents light from passing through glass. Eliminating metal has proved especially challenging since the metal component acts as the negative 'polar contact' -- an important function in collecting the electricity generated from solar cells on the surface of the glass.

Today's breakthrough replaces this visibility-blocking metal with environmentally-friendly and more transparent compounds. These compounds now function as the negative polar contact and collect electricity from New Energy's SolarWindow(TM).

The production of solar-generated electricity on glass is made possible by the world's tiniest working solar cells, which have been successfully applied on to glass surfaces by researchers currently developing the Company's transparent SolarWindow(TM) technology.

These ultra-small solar cells measure less than 1/4 the size of a grain of rice, are fabricated using environmentally-friendly materials, and successfully produce electricity, as demonstrated in a published peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy of the American Institute of Physics.

Unique performance properties of New Energy's ultra-small solar cells enable development of an ultra-thin film, only 1/1000th the thickness of a human hair, or 1/10th of a micrometer. In contrast, conventional thin films are exponentially thicker, measuring several micrometers thick and inhibiting transparency. In photovoltaic applications such as see-thru windows, where transparency is a primary concern, today's thin film solar cells simply cannot be utilized to produce a transparent solar window for application in homes, offices, and commercial buildings.

There are nearly 5 million commercial buildings in America, according to the Energy Information Administration, and more than 80 million single detached homes. New Energy's SolarWindow(TM) technology is under developed for commercial application in such buildings.

About New Energy Technologies, Inc.

New Energy Technologies, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a developer of next generation alternative and renewable energy technologies. Among the Company's technologies under development are: -- MotionPower(TM) roadway systems for generating electricity by capturing the kinetic energy produced by moving vehicles. An estimated 250 million registered vehicles drive more than 6 billion miles on America's roadways, every day; and -- SolarWindow(TM) technologies which enable transparent glass windows to generate electricity by coating their glass surfaces with the world's smallest known solar cells. These solar coatings are less than 1/10th the thickness of 'thin' films and make use of the world's smallest functional solar cells, shown to successfully produce electricity in a recently published peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy of the American Institute of Physics.

Through established relationships with universities, research institutions, and commercial partners, we strive to identify technologies and business opportunities on the leading edge of renewable energy innovation. Unique to our business model is the use of established research infrastructure owned by the various institutions we deal with, saving us significant capital which would otherwise be required for such costs as land and building acquisition, equipment and capital equipment purchases, and other start up expenses. As a result, we are able to benefit from leading edge research while employing significantly less capital than conventional organizations.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (OTCBB: BKYI - BIO-key International, Inc.) LATEST NEWS!! BIO-key Issues Letter to Shareholders WALL, N.J., Jan 04, 2010 -- BIO-key International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: BKYI), the leader in finger-based biometric identification solutions, today issued the following Letter to Shareholders: Dear Shareholders, Throughout our history, dating back to the founding of SAC technology in 1993 and the formation of BIO-key International in 2002 and up to the latter part of this decade, we have never been more optimistic about the future of the biometric industry and, in particular, the opportunity for BIO-key to prosper.

Here's our outlook. It's well known that the terrorist attacks on 9/11 introduced Americans to the tenacity and willpower of those who seek to destroy our way of life. This year's events on Christmas Day make it crystal clear that similar attacks will be levied against America using methods we know as well as those we have not yet imagined, including cyber and infrastructure attacks. There is a renewed awakening, not just to the Security and Authentication markets, but to all Americans, reminding us that we all have an obligation to play a role in protecting our country and its citizens. I am very proud to say that BIO-key's technology serves our country by providing a piece of the solution. We do so directly through our participation in the FBI NGI program and indirectly in our delivery of biometric security to America's infrastructure including healthcare, transportation, commerce, and communications. BIO-key will continue to satisfy this growing demand as widespread adoption of biometrics expands with the Country's efforts to improve its security.

BIO-key remains intensely focused on its core goals - to develop and provide the best commercially viable finger biometric technology available. Our talented group of software engineers provides BIO-key customers with solutions that protect their physical and logical assets by enabling them to securely and conveniently identify individuals within large populations. We are the only finger biometric solution that is compatible with virtually any infrastructure, hardware platform, or scanning device. BIO-key's universal software offerings integrate with all common security architectures used by government agencies and commercial entities across the globe and this continues to differentiate us among other biometric offerings.

The time and effort BIO-key spent to develop our leveraged business model - providing software to application providers and integrators who embed our technology into their solutions and distribute through their sales channels - is beginning to payoff in revenue growth and profitability. As high performance OEM partners like McKesson, Radiant Systems and Lexis Nexis use BIO-key solutions to enhance their key products, our revenue and profitability increase as their business expands.

Access to social programs, banking, and healthcare and to protected facilities requires positive identification and authentication. This is exactly what BIO-key provides; the most convenient form of authentication developed for the most recognizable and widely used technology platforms in the world, such as Oracle Access Manager, CA SiteMinder, Evidian/Bull SSO, IBM Tivoli for ESSO, and many other access solution offerings. It has taken years for BIO-key to develop these assets and we are now positioned to take advantage of market opportunities that didn't exist five years ago or even one year ago. In addition, because other security technologies (tokens, PKI, smart cards and PINS) are not inherently linked to the individual, the most convenient and secure solutions will include biometrics and, more importantly, only those biometric solutions that integrate easily with industry leading infrastructures mentioned above. This strategic direction and the time we have invested in developing various patents and performance improvements will serve our customers and our investors well now and into the future.

Following are a few highlights from 2009: -- BIO-key selected as part of the Next Generation FBI AFIS System with the fusion of BIO-key and MorphoTrak biometric algorithms. This fusion was a key component to delivering the speed, accuracy and reliability of the solution chosen.

-- Retained Thomas Bush III, former senior FBI official as a strategic advisor and consultant. Tom brings 30 years of experience with the FBI, including large-scale biometrics systems expertise.

-- Awarded biometric contract with Federal Probation and Pretrial Services Office of US Courts as part of project to deploy fingerprint biometric enabled identity management kiosks nationwide.

-- Announced with our partner, Healthcare-ID, the integration of our biometric software into Healthcare-ID's Donor-ID Web(TM) application, used by blood collection centers nationwide.

-- Minnesota Counties deployed a new criminal charging system with BIO-key(R) fingerprint biometrics. This paperless eCharging solution saves time and increases efficiency.

-- Broadening of our software platform support to include Microsoft(R) Windows Terminal Services, Citrix(R) Clients and Wyse CE terminals.

-- Selected by SC Magazine as the 2009 Industry Innovator in Biometrics.

-- January 8th edition of This Week in Consumer Electronics (TWICE) profiled AT&T's nationwide deployment of tablet PCs, secured with BIO-key fingerprint biometric software to identify in-store customer representatives.

-- Completion of the sale of our Law Enforcement Division to InterAct Public Safety Systems for $11 Million giving the company a net debt free balance sheet and liquidity to sustain and invest in biometric technology.

This past year, our Board and Management Team believed that the timing was perfect to focus all of our resources on the high growth emerging identification and authentication markets, leading to the recent sale of our law enforcement division. Our net debt free position and clean balance sheet provide BIO-key with many options to grow and expand organically and to consider strategic options as well.

BIO-key has developed advanced technology that is in use and in demand, as proven by our recently announced wins. We will take on the authentication market with a sound business model that is capable of delivering significant scalable profitability. As the adoption of finger biometrics continues to grow and finger scanning devices become ubiquitous, as demonstrated by the introduction of the LG EXPO the first Smartphone in the US to include a finger scanner operating on the AT&T network, BIO-key will be there to leverage our technology, experience, and excellent references to close opportunities.

BIO-key is firmly established on the leading edge of a burgeoning market and will continue to meet all of the challenges that face innovative companies on the path to widespread acceptance. During our 17 years in this business, we met and overcame many challenges. We have seen other biometric companies come and go but BIO-key has survived and is now poised for success because of its superior technology and marquis customer and partner base. Our focus in 2010 is to leverage the credibility we have with our strong customer references to expand our revenue opportunities in the government sector and to go after the larger market opportunities in the commercial identity and authentication applications.

Thank you for your continued support of BIO-key. We could not do it without our investors and you are the prime reason we continue to work towards building the best company in the business.
