TECHNOLOGY 7

Overview Scio diamonds are manufactured using a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process well-understood technology widely employed in the electronics and materials industries 8

CVD Diamond Growing Process 9 Plasma Cloud Diamonds Pedestal Place diamond seeds on pedestal. Depressurize chamber. Inject starting gases into chamber. Heat until electrons separate from nuclei, forming plasma. Let it rain. Freed carbon precipitates out of plasma cloud and is deposited on wafer seeds. Let it grow. Wafer seeds gradually become diamond mini-crystals. Remove diamond crystals. Slice and shape for use in industrial/commercial applications, or gemstones.

10 Scio Diamond Characteristics Diamond Type: Size: Impurities: Structures: Single Crystal Up to 1”x1” square Up to 0.20” thick Nitrogen and other impurities tightly controlled Lower stress in the crystal lattice – leads to greater strength and hardness

11 Scio Competitive Advantages Process to grow single crystal diamond of superior quality and strength Scalable process – Multiple diamonds grow at the same time, in the same chamber Significant and growing intellectual property portfolio

Patent and Trade Secret Protection Scio Patents 20 US patents, 6 foreign patents 19 US and 17 Foreign patent applications in-process Trade Secrets Proven recipes for mass production of industrial diamonds and gemstones 12

2013-14 Production Initiatives Productivity Improvements Improved yields Increased grower uptime New technology Larger seeds Larger pedestals Additional diamond-growing machines 13

FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES 14

Gemstone Opportunities Scio-created diamonds are real diamonds Grown in a machine instead of in the earth Features of Scio-created diamond gemstones Perfection and Scalability - stones of same size and color Pink diamond capability Environmentally friendly alternative to mined diamonds No “conflict diamond” concerns 15

Industrial Opportunities Quantum Computing / Encrypted Communication Molecular Resolution MRI Laser Scalpel Semiconductor Substrate Water Purification High Power Laser and other defense and energy applications 16

Investment Highlights Scio Diamond in full production mode Strong customer demand Scio IP well-protected Scio diamond the best choice for many precision cutting applications Stronger, harder and longer-lasting diamond 17

18 Investment Highlights (cont.) Scio’s diamond creation process scaling well Modest capital investment Low labor intensity Increasing volume driving higher gross margins Multiple application segments will drive future growth Precision cutting Gemstones Other industrial Limited number of competitors

Scio – Revenue Starting to Ramp 19
