NOTICE OF ERROR
 
 
To Our Stockholders:
 
        We recently sent to you a Notice of the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and a Proxy Statement along with a proxy card for use in casting your vote for the matters to be considered at the Advanced Photonix, Inc. 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on August 24, 2007.
 
After mailing those materials to you, we discovered that the proxy card you received contained a printing error. In proposal one, the election of directors, the six individuals listed should have been the following nominees: Richard D. Kurtz, Robin F. Risser, M. Scott Farese, Lance Brewer, Donald Pastor and Stephen P. Soltwedel, as discussed in the Proxy Statement. On the card you received, Mr. Brewer was not listed and listed in his place was Stephen Williamson, who is an officer of the Company but not a nominee for election to the Board.
 
We have therefore enclosed a corrected proxy card that correctly lists the Board’s nominees for election as Directors. Whether or not you have previously completed and returned a proxy card, we urge you to sign, date and return the enclosed CORRECTED PROXY CARD. Your return of a properly executed CORRECTED PROXY CARD will supersede any proxy card you previously submitted. Please note that, if no instructions are indicated on the CORRECTED PROXY CARD, the proxies will be voted FOR the approval of the election of the six nominees as directors of the Company and FOR the approval of the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.
 
If you previously returned a proxy card and you do not return a CORRECTED PROXY CARD, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions on the initial proxy card you submitted, except that no shares will be voted for Mr. Williamson who is not running for election as a director. If no instructions were indicated on the initial proxy card you submitted, the proxies will be voted For the election of the following five director nominees: Richard D. Kurtz, Robin F. Risser, M. Scott Farese, Donald Pastor and Stephen P. Soltwedel, and For the adoption of the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan.
 
        If you have any questions or concerns regarding the CORRECTED PROXY CARD, please do not hesitate to call me at (734) 864-5647. We appreciate your attention to this matter.
 
Sincerely,
 

Richard Kurtz
Chairman
