NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements follows:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Advance Nanotech, Inc., (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results from operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2009 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s SEC Form 10-K.

Nature of Operations

On March 3, 1980, Advance Nanotech, Inc. (the “Company) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado under the name of Colorado Gold & Silver, Inc. subsequently changing its name to Dynamic I-T, Inc. and to Artwork & Beyond, Inc. in January 2004. On October 1, 2004, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding common stock of Advance Nanotech Holdings, Inc. in exchange for 99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company and simultaneously changed the Company’s name to Advance Nanotech Inc. (a Colorado corporation). On June 16, 2006, Advance Nanotech, Inc. (a Colorado corporation) merged into its newly-formed, wholly owned subsidiary, Advance Nanotech, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation) in order to reincorporate under the laws of the state of Delaware.

The Company is in the development stage as defined by Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 915-10, Development Stage Entities ("ASC 915-10") and is seeking to assist its minority-owned subsidiary, Owlstone Inc. (formerly Owlstone Nanotech, Inc.) (“Owlstone”) in the commercialization of novel chemical sensor products based on its proprietary and innovative gas sensing technology. To date, the Company has not generated sales revenues, has incurred expenses and has sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from inception through September 30, 2010, the Company has accumulated a deficit through its development stage of $30,769,771.

Dissolution of subsidiaries

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company dissolved the following inactive subsidiaries:

·	Advance Nanotech, Limited
·	Nanofed Limited
·	Cambridge Nanotechnology Limited
·	Bio-Nano Sensium Limited
·	Nano Solutions Limited
·	Advance Display Technologies plc
·	Advance Homeland Security plc
·	Advance Nanotech (Singapore) Pte Ltd.

The operations and cash flows of these subsidiaries have been eliminated from the accounts of the Company’s ongoing operations and major classes of assets and liabilities related thereto have been segregated. The losses from discontinued operations, including the impairment of certain assets of discontinued operations, have been reflected in the financial statements of this annual report.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Deconsolidation

In November and December 2009, Owlstone Inc. (formerly Owlstone Nanotech Inc.) (“Owlstone”), a previous majority owned subsidiary, sold shares of its common stock in private placements to qualified investors reducing the Company’s ownership interest from 82.17% to 37.81%, and subsequently to 31.26% as of September 30, 2010. As such, the Company deconsolidated Owlstone as of October 31, 2009, the date a controlling financial interest was lost. Operations and cash flows of Owlstone for the period of control (from January 1, 2009 through October 31, 2009), and from date of acquisition of Owlstone through October 31, 2009 have been eliminated from the accounts of the Company’s continuing operations.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 810-10, Consolidation, the Company recognized a gain on re-measurement of investment of subsidiary of $6,746,230 comprised of the difference between the carrying value of the investment in Owlstone and the pro rata fair value of the investment of Owlstone after Owlstone sold shares of its common stock.

Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years.

Expenditures for repair and maintenance which do not materially extend the useful lives of property and equipment are charged to operations. When property or equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts with the resulting gain or loss reflected in operations. Management periodically reviews the carrying value of its property and equipment for impairment and at September 30, 2010 considered none of the Company’s property and equipment to be impaired.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

Income Taxes

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.

At September 30, 2010, the significant components of the deferred tax assets (liabilities) are summarized below:

Net operating loss carry forwards expiring in 2029	$	18,000,000

Tax Asset		6,300,000
Less valuation allowance		(6,300,000	)

Balance	$	—

Net Loss per Share

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible notes payable, stock options and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted losses per share because they are either anti-dilutive, or their effect is not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Stock based compensation

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in ASC 718-10. The Company implemented AC 718-10 using the modified prospective method.

As more fully described in Note 10 below, the Company granted stock options over the years to employees of the Company under its 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company did not grant non-qualified stock options to purchase common stock during the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan.

As of September 30, 2010, there were outstanding employee stock options to purchase 11,460,718 shares of common stock, all shares of which were vested.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220-10”) which establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owners sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. ASC 220-10 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.

Reliance on Key Personnel and Consultants

As of September 30, 2010, the Company has no full-time employees and no part-time employees. Additionally, there are approximately 4 consultants performing various specialized services. The Company is heavily dependent on the continued active participation of these key consultants. The loss of any of the key consultants could significantly and negatively impact the business until adequate replacements can be identified and put in place.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

There were various accounting updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows at September 30, 2010 or for the three or nine months then ended.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements during nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company incurred net losses attributable to common shareholders of $565,121, incurred net losses attributable to common shareholders of $30,769,771 from its inception on August 17, 2004 through September 30, 2010 and used $32,235,695 in cash for operating activities from its inception through September 30, 2010. These factors among others raise substantial doubt that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

The Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to refinance or restructure its existing indebtedness, and/or to develop profitable operations. The Company’s principal asset is its 31.26% non-controlling stake in Owlstone. The value of the Company’s stake in Owlstone, among other factors, is directly related to Owlstone’s ability to successfully commercialize its technologies. Owlstone’s efforts are principally focused on the development of chemical sensing products using its proprietary technology and there can be no assurance that Owlstone’s efforts will be successful. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our 8% senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) come due in December of 2010 with respect to $3,732,200 in principal amount and in 2011 with respect to an additional $3,607,500 in principal amount. We do not have the cash or other assets to repay the Notes. Our only significant asset is our shares in Owlstone and the value of those shares, based on the price recently paid by private investors in Owlstone, is less than the principal amount of the indebtedness. Furthermore, our Owlstone shares have been pledged as security for the payment of the Notes. Without a substantial increase in the value of the Owlstone shares, we deem it unlikely that a lender would be willing to lend us the funds needed to repay the Notes. Accordingly, if we are unable to negotiate an extension of the maturity of the Notes or otherwise come to terms with the holders of the Notes acceptable to the Company, we may have to seek protection from creditors under the bankruptcy laws. If so, the prospects for the Company and its stockholders will be severely limited.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY RECEIVABLES

Related party receivables are comprised of advances to Owlstone. The advances are informal and payable on demand. As of September 30, 2010, there we no related party receivables outstanding.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT

As described in Note 1 above, Owlstone, a previous majority owned subsidiary, sold shares of its common stock in private placements to qualified investors and issued shares pursuant to other arrangements that had the effect of reducing the Company’s ownership interest from 82.17% to 31.26%. As such, the Company deconsolidated Owlstone as of October 2009, the date a controlling financial interest was lost.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 810-10, Consolidation, the Company recognized a gain on re-measurement of investment of subsidiary as of December 31, 2009 of $6,746,230 comprised of the difference between the carrying value of the investment in Owlstone and the pro rata fair value of the investment after the sale of the subsidiary’s common stock. The Company accounts for its investment in Owlstone using the equity method of accounting. Component changes in the equity investment of Owlstone are as follows:

Carrying value of investment of Owlstone at deconsolidation	$	(5,710,746	)
Adjustment of investment in Owlstone to fair value at October 31, 2009		6,746,230
Pro rata income (loss) of Owlstone from November 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009 (equity method)		(518	)
Balance, investment in Owlstone as of December 31, 2009		1,034,966
Pro rata loss of Owlstone from January 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010		(463,735	)
Adjustment in carrying value due to sale by subsidiary of common stock to qualified investors		820,402
Balance, investment in Owlstone as of September 30, 2010	$	1,391,633

The Company did not evaluate for impairment, and the fair value of the equity-method investment is not estimated, since there were no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment and the Company determined, in accordance with ASC 825-10, that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the investment.

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

In a series of transactions on December 19 and 21, 2007 and February 15 and September 4, 2008, we issued and sold our 8% senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $7,846,000 and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase in the aggregate 15,692,000 shares of our common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) for $.30 per share. The Notes mature on the date that is three years from the date of issuance and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.25 per share. The Notes constitute our senior indebtedness and provide that we can not incur other indebtedness (excluding an additional $3,000,000 in debt, certain credit facility lines and trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business) without the consent of the Note holders. The notes are secured by all of tangible and intangible assets including the equity interest in our previously majority owned subsidiary. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The Notes and Warrants are subject to “full ratchet” anti-dilution provisions calling for repricing in the event the Company sells any shares at a price less than the conversion price of the Notes or the exercise price of the Warrants.

In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes and Warrants, the Company paid to certain placement agents in the aggregate approximately $600,000 in cash. The Company issued warrants to purchase in the aggregate 2,342,000 shares of Common Stock for $0.30 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance.

The Company was obligated to pay to the holders of the Notes a penalty of $88,219 for failure to secure within prescribed time limits registration of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE (continued)

As of September 30, 2010, the fair value of the warrant liability for the investor warrants and the placement agent warrants issued in connection with the sale of the total $7,846,000 convertible note offering was revalued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, risk-free interest rate of 0.42% to 0.64%, the contractual life of 2.22-3.00 years and volatility of 190.65%. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 815-40, the estimated fair value of the investor warrants and the placement agent warrants, in the amount of $490,530 was recorded as a liability. The Company recognized a non-cash gain of $98,286 for this revaluation for the nine month period ending September 30, 2010, which correlates to the fluctuation in the Company’s share price of its common stock for the period.

Effective January 1, 2009, with the effectiveness of certain provisions of ASC 815-40 requiring bifurcation of any reset provisions embedded within our convertible notes and warrants, the Company determined the fair value of the embedded reset provision as of January 1, 2009 was $1,552,420 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividend yield, risk-free interest rate of 0.88%, the contractual life of between 1.97 – 2.67 years and volatility of 196%. See Note 7 below.

NOTE 6 – WARRANT LIABILITY

As described in Note 5, the Company issued warrants in conjunction with the sale of convertible notes. These warrants contain certain reset provisions. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company reclassified the fair value of the warrant from equity to a liability as of January 1, 2009. Subsequent to the reclassification, the Company is required to adjust to fair value the warrant as an adjustment to current period operations.

The Company estimated the fair value at January 1, 2009 of the warrants issued in connection with the convertible notes to be $1,150,224 using the Black-Scholes formula assuming no dividends, a risk-free interest rate of 2.69%, expected volatility of 196%, and expected warrant remaining life of between 4.25 to 5 years. Since the warrants have reset provisions, pursuant to ASC 815-40, the Company has recorded the fair value of the warrants as a derivative liability. Until conversion and expiration of the reset provisions of the warrants, changes in fair value were recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date.

The fair values of the warrants of $490,530 at September 30, 2010 were determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions: no dividends, a risk-free interest rate of 0.42% to 0.64%, expected volatility of 190.65%, and expected warrant remaining life of between 2.22 to 3.00 years.

As of the date of the financial statements, the Company believes an event under the contract that would create an obligation to settle in cash or other current assets is remote and has classified the obligation as a long term liability.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABLITIY

As described in Note 5, the Company issued convertible notes that contain certain reset provisions. Therefore, in accordance with ASC 815-40, the Company determined the fair value of the reset provision of $1,552,413 on January 1, 2009 (the effectiveness of certain provisions of ASC 815-40) using the Black-Scholes formula assuming no dividends, a risk-free interest rate of 0.88%, expected volatility of 196%, and expected life of 1.97 to 2.67 years. Since the convertible notes contain reset provisions, pursuant to ASC 815-40, the Company has recorded the fair value of the reset provision as a derivative liability. Until expiration of the reset provisions of the convertible notes, changes in fair value were recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date.

The fair value of the reset provision of $83,106 at September 30, 2010 was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions:

Dividend yield:		-0-	%
Volatility		190.65	%
Risk free rate:	0.16% to 0.27		%

Preferred stock

On June 19, 2006, the Company created a class of "blank check" preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, consisting of 25,000,000 shares. The term "blank check" preferred stock refers to stock for which the designations, preferences, conversion rights, and cumulative, relative, participating, optional or other rights, including voting rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, are determined by the Board of Directors (“Board”). As such, the Board will be entitled to authorize the creation and issuance of 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series with such limitations and restrictions as may be determined in the sole discretion of the Board, with no further authorization by stockholders required for the creation and issuance of the preferred stock. Any preferred stock issued would have priority over the common stock upon liquidation and might have priority rights as to dividends, voting and other features. Accordingly, the issuance of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets allocable to or available for distribution to holders of common stock and adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of the common stock. As of September 30, 2010, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

NOTE 9 – OPTIONS, WARRANTS AND STOCK AWARDS

Restricted stock, stock options and warrants issued to non-employees are recorded at their fair value as determined in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718-10”) and recognized over the related service period.

Employee Options

On August 28, 2008, the Board of Directors of Advance Nanotech, Inc. adopted the Advance Nanotech, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan"). The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan is 40,462,293, and such shares are reserved for issuance out of the authorized but previously unissued Shares. Employees, service providers and non-employee directors of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to receive stock options, restricted stock, performance awards and other stock- or performance-based awards. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees. The 2008 Plan will continue until the earlier of the termination of the 2008 Plan by the board of directors or ten years after the effective date.

The 2008 Plan is currently being administered by the Company's compensation committee. The compensation committee may determine the specific terms and conditions of all Awards (as defined in the 2008 Plan) granted under the 2008 Plan, including, without limitation, the number of shares subject to each Award, the price to be paid for the shares and the vesting criteria, if any. The compensation committee has discretion to make all determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2008 Plan.

As of September 30, 2010, there were 23,400,640 shares that had not been issued under the 2008 Plan.

The Company accounts for employee stock option grants in accordance with ASC 718-10 which establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. ASC 718-10 requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award - the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.

NOTE 10 — FAIR VALUE

ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

NOTE 10 — FAIR VALUE (continued)

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying consolidated financial statements consisted of the following items as of September 30, 2010:

We believe that our leased space is adequate to meet our business needs for the foreseeable future and that, if such space were to become unavailable, we would be able to acquire other space that would be adequate for our business needs at comparable rent.

Employment and Consulting Agreements

The Company has consulting agreements with outside contractors, certain of whom are also Company officers, directors and stockholders. The Agreements are generally month to month.

Defined Contribution Plan

The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) Plan whereby the Company can make discretionary matches to employee contributions. The Company has not made any contributions to the 401(k) Plan as of September 30, 2010.

Litigation

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as described below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

On February 16, 2010, Alpha Capital Anstalt, one of the holders of the Company’s 8% Senior Secured Convertible Notes, instituted a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against Advance Nanotech and Owlstone claiming that Owlstone’s issuance and sale of its common stock in November of 2009 constituted a breach of the Company’s covenants contained in the subscription agreement between the Company and the plaintiff. The lawsuit sought unspecified monetary damages, a declaratory judgment, a permanent injunction, punitive damages, costs and interest. The case and all charges were dismissed by the Supreme Court of New York on September 2, 2010. On October 5, 2010, Alpha Capital Anstalt filed a notice of appeal with the Supreme Court of the State of New York.

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with FASB ASC 855, “Subsequent Events,” the Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless otherwise noted, the terms "Advance Nanotech", the "Company", "we", "us", and "our" refer to the ongoing business operations of Advance Nanotech, Inc.

Overview and Plan of Operations

Our efforts are principally focused on refinancing or restructuring our current indebtedness and assisting in the development of Owlstone, our principal asset, in which we own a non-controlling interest of 31.26%. Owlstone’s efforts are principally focused on the development of chemical sensing products using its proprietary technology.

Material Changes in Financial Condition

At September 30, 2010, the Company had a total of approximately $31,507 of cash and cash equivalents after collections of an intercompany receivable from Owlstone of approximately $517,000. Based upon the Company’s current cash and cash equivalents on hand, the Company’s continued ability to operate is dependent upon obtaining additional funds, or finding a suitable merger candidate. The Company is presently pursuing various options to generate additional funds, including, among others, financing on a senior secured basis and raising additional capital through the sale of securities. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow through these means or obtain additional financing through other means to support its operations and meet its obligations, the Company will be forced to consider the further restructuring of its operations, disposition of various assets, seeking protection from its creditors, or cessation of operations and liquidation.

Our 8% senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) come due in December of 2010 with respect to $3,732,200 in principal amount and in 2011 with respect to an additional $3,607,500 in principal amount. We do not presently have the cash or other assets to repay the Notes. Our only significant asset is our shares in Owlstone and the value of those shares, based on the price recently paid by private investors in Owlstone, is less than the principal amount of the indebtedness. Furthermore, our Owlstone shares have been pledged as security for the payment of the Notes. Without a substantial increase in the value of the Owlstone shares, we deem it unlikely that a lender would be willing to lend us the funds needed to repay the Notes. Accordingly, if we are unable to negotiate an extension of the maturity of the Notes or otherwise come to terms with the holders of the Notes acceptable to the Company, we may have to seek protection from creditors under the bankruptcy laws. If so, the prospects for the Company and its stockholders will be severely limited.

The Company is actively exploring various debt and equity financing transactions. Although the Company is exploring all opportunities to improve its financial condition within the next several months, there is no assurance that these programs will be successful.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased primarily due to the reduction in salaries and benefits and related support services.
