GEMZ
Corp. Reports Market for Nanotechnology-based Power
Growing More Than 30% per Year

NEW
YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 1, 2004--GEMZ Corp.,
(OTC: GMZP) takes note of published reports indicating
that the market for technology being developed by
International Nanotechnology Corp., a subsidiary of
GEMZ Corp. is growing at a rate exceeding 30% per
year.
SolarBuzz.com (http://www.solarbuzz.com/Marketbuzz2004-intro.htm)
reports that World solar photovoltaic market installations
soared to 574 Megawatts in 2003, representing growth
of 34% over 2002.
Solar power generates less than 1 percent of the electricity
in the United States, according to Robert Margolis,
a senior analyst with the U.S. Department of Energy,
providing a huge growth opportunity.
"Solar energy power generation is growing 20
percent to 30 percent a year, and that's not shabby,"
said Roberta Gamble, an energy analyst at Frost &
Sullivan, the Palo Alto market research firm that
recently completed a report on the industry.
Over the last 20 years, improvements in manufacturing
techniques gradually lowered the costs of solar cells.
That has widened their use, which in turn has led
to further expansions in the market and further economies
of scale.
"Basically every three years, the overall industry
volume doubles, and for every doubling of volume you
reduce costs 18 percent," said Tim Woodward,
a venture capitalist at Nth Power, a San Francisco
firm that invests in energy technologies.
"Right now, this is a real industry that's growing
30 percent a year," said Woodward, whose firm
invests in solar cell manufacturing technology.
GEMZ Corp. is investing in the development of solar-powered
technology against this positive background of a rapidly-growing
market.
About GEMZ Corp.
GEMZ Corp. is a publicly traded company located in
New York City. Its new corporate website is www.gemzcorp.net.
Its subsidiary, International Nanotechnology Corp.
(INC) is developing a solar-powered solution for powering
cellphones and laptop computers. INC recently entered
into a definitive agreement with TSDC-N, a joint venture
created by Terra Solar Development Corp. (TSDC) and
Dr. S. Kulcsar. TSDC is a leading developer of photovoltaic
and nanocell technology. As announced, INC will acquire
substantially all of its nanotechnology assets of
TSDC-N and an exclusive license to sell certain photovoltaic
products being developed by TSDC in the United States
as well. The INC product is believed to be the first
to use PV Nanofilms, which combine thin films and
nanotechnology so they it can also work indoors in
most lighting situations. Nanofilms have elements
below 1000 and even below 100 nanometers. The National
Science Foundation (NSF) defines nanotechnology as
consisting of components and elements 1000 nanometers
and under. (1 nanometer is one billions of a meter
or 10 Angstroms).
