DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - August 29, 2013) -  ProTek Capital, Inc. (OTC Pink: PRPM) ("ProTek") today released a statement from the combined management teams or ProTek and APT Group, Inc.

ProTek last week announced entering into a Letter of Intent (LOI) agreement to acquire APT Group, Inc. (APT), a manufacturer and distributor of technologically advanced, environmentally friendly utility and power-sports products. APT Group, Inc. is a Missouri registered corporation headquartered in Kansas City, MO and the holding company for the MotoVox® product line and SmartCarb® patented carburetor technology lines.

Combined Management Teams' Statement:

Troy Covey, Motovox Founder, says, "APT Group is faced with a good problem, in that the demand for MotoVox® PowerSport products is higher than their current capital structure can support. The 2013 launch of APT's patented fuel system technology, SmartCarb®, has added yet another demand for growth capital. APT sales could easily double if existing capital constraints are overcome." The constraints faced by APT Group are typical of high-growth companies with sales that are growing exponentially year over year. The management of APT and ProTek Capital believe that a public holding company structure can provide a vehicle for streamlining the APT debt facilities while providing the growth capital in the form of equity needed to continue the rapid growth and continued product development of the MotoVox®, PowerSport business and the launch of the SmartCarb®.

The intent of the two management teams is to complete the announced merger in the next 30 days and for the APT management to then assume the primary management responsibilities for the public company. Going forward, ProTek will streamline its current operational focus to exclusively concentrate on the potential of the overall APT opportunity.

About APT Group, Inc.

APT Group, Inc., ("APT") is a Missouri registered corporation headquartered in Kansas City, MO and the holding company for the MotoVox® product line and SmartCarb® patented carburetor technology lines. MotoVox® has become the fastest growing brand of small power-sport products in the world within its consumer price point of between
$350 and $1,000. To-date, Motovox has over 100,000 units sold.

About ProTek Capital, Inc.

ProTek Capital, Inc. has historically concentrated on acquiring a portfolio of unique and promising, high-growth potential companies. The portfolio industry focus has changed and evolved over time and the MotoVox® acquisition would represent the next evolutionary step into the burgeoning market for low cost, high efficiency "greener" power-train systems.

LIVONIA, MI--(Marketwired - August 29, 2013) -  On the heels of its recent business results announcement for the first half of 2013, WorkForce Software, the leading provider of workforce management solutions for organizations with complex labor policies and stringent compliance demands, today confirmed it has once again been named to the Inc 500|5000 list published by Inc. Magazine. This is WorkForce Software's seventh consecutive appearance on the 500|5000, making it one of only 356 companies to attain the honor since the inception of the list in 1982.

The annual Inc. 500|5000 is an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The 2013 Inc. 500|5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2009 to 2012. To qualify, companies had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent -- not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies -- as of December 31, 2012. Over the years, companies such as Microsoft, Timberland, Vizio, Intuit, Oracle and Zappos.com have been ranked by the Inc. 500|5000.

This year's list noted job creation as a distinguishing characteristic and the companies on the list have created more than 520,000 jobs over the past three years. This is certainly the case with WorkForce Software, which has received numerous awards and accolades for being a top place to work as well as for creating jobs in its home state of Michigan. Recently, the company was recognized for adding 40 new team members to its Livonia, Michigan headquarters.

Kevin Choksi, CEO and co-founder of WorkForce Software, commented, "It's an honor to take our place on the Inc. 500|5000 list for the seventh consecutive time. 2013 has been a breakthrough year for WorkForce Software as we expand our global footprint into new markets and expand our client communities in the US, Canada, the U.K., and Australia.

Magazine is truly appreciated by our multinational team, and further validation for our clients that they are aligned with the leading provider of workforce management for large employers."

Busch continued: "While we would have preferred a stronger finish in the last quarter of fiscal 2013, we believe that the underlying trends we see developing with our new products will position the Company for future revenue growth. During fiscal 2014, our primary focus continues to be on investing our resources to accelerate revenue growth, while maintaining financial discipline."

Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2013

Net revenue was $46.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $1.3 million or 3 percent, compared to $45.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. 

Gross profit as a percentage of net revenue ("gross margin") was 47.4% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, compared to 48.8% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to an increase in expedited freight costs and an increase in new product sales, which have lower gross margins that typically improve when they reach production volumes.

Operating expenses were $24.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 compared to $24.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

GAAP net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was ($2.8) million, or ($0.19) per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of ($3.0) million, or ($0.27) per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. 

Non-GAAP net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was ($935,000), or ($0.06) per share compared to non-GAAP net loss of $(504,000) or $(0.04) per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. For additional information regarding our Non-GAAP results, see "Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2013 were $5.2 million, a decrease of $6.2 million, compared to $11.4 million as of June 30, 2012. A significant use of cash was related to a $2.8 million increase in inventories to support new product releases and forecasted changes in customer demand. In addition, cash was used as follows: (i) $866,000 for investments in capital assets to support product development and manufacturing; (ii) $814,000 related to cash losses from operations; (iii) $693,000 related to a decrease in accounts payable; and (iv) $667,000 for scheduled payments on the Company's term loan, which is expected to be completely paid off in September of 2013.

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2013

Net revenue was $11.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, a decrease of $485,000 compared to $11.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and a decrease of $1.1 million, compared to $12.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The year-over-year decline in net revenue was primarily due to decreases in unit sales for some of the Company's mature products, which was partially offset by growth in new product sales. The sequential decrease in net revenue was primarily due to the fact that the Company's revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 benefited from three significant transactions that did not recur during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. To a lesser extent, the Company experienced a decrease in xPrintServer revenue as the third quarter of fiscal 2013 benefited from sales and marketing momentum related to the release of the xPrintServer Office Edition.

Gross margin was 44.7% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to 50.7% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and 46.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The decrease in gross margin was primarily the result of an increase in manufacturing overhead expenses related to the amount of overhead costs applied to inventories.

Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 were $6.1 million, an increase of $89,000, compared to $6.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and a decrease of $327,000, compared to $6.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 included severance charges of $208,000 related to actions the Company took to lower its operating expenses and non-GAAP breakeven point.

GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $(1.1) million, or ($0.08) per share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $(178,000), or ($0.01) per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and a GAAP net loss of $(801,000), or ($0.05) per share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. 

Non-GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $(665,000), or $(0.05) per share compared to non-GAAP net income of $351,000 or $0.03 per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 and a non-GAAP net loss of $(388,000), or $(0.03) per share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2013. For additional information regarding our Non-GAAP results, see "Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Discussion of Company Target Model

The Company is in a transitionary period during which it is pursuing a strategy of increasing revenue by expanding sales channels and regularly releasing new products with the expectation that, in the long-term, new product revenue will significantly outpace the decline in mature product revenue. The Company believes that this strategy will ultimately result in the improvement of gross margin, GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income. 

The Company is updating the target model that it previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, 2012. The purpose of the following model is to demonstrate the operating leverage that the Company believes it may achieve if its current business strategy is successful.

The model is based on estimates that the Company believes are reasonable given its assessment of historical trends and other information available as of the date of this press release. However, these assumptions and estimates are necessarily speculative in nature and actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied by the information contained in the model. See "Forward-Looking Statements" below. The Company does not intend to update the foregoing model at any particular interval.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Lantronix believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information, when presented in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company has provided reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management believes that non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share are important measures of the Company's business. Management uses the aforementioned non-GAAP measures to monitor and evaluate ongoing operating results and trends to gain an understanding of our comparative operating performance.

Non-GAAP operating expenses consist of operating expenses excluding (i) share-based compensation and related payroll taxes; (ii) depreciation and amortization; and (iii) restructuring charges.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) consists of net income (loss) excluding (i) non-GAAP adjustments to operating expenses, (ii) interest income (expense), (iii) other income (expense), and (iv) income tax provision (benefit).

Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income (loss) by non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted). For purposes of calculating non-GAAP net income (loss) per share, the calculation of GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding (diluted) is adjusted to exclude share-based compensation, which for GAAP purposes is treated as proceeds assumed to be used to repurchase shares under the GAAP treasury stock method.

Bellevue, WA, August 30, 2013 --(PR.com)-- ITTIA, a leader in modern embedded and mobile database software, equips applications with safe and efficient storage on single-core and multi-core systems. ITTIA DB SQL addresses the challenge of increasing data volume on multi-core systems; and by expanding its commitment to help manufacturers of embedded devices, ITTIA helps them to manage and connect data -- regardless of size -- as well as to leverage the performance of multi-core systems. In order for manufacturers of embedded devices to process and analyze all the data generated on a multi-core system, complex queries often need to be designed. By taking advantage of multi-core, ITTIA DB SQL allows application tasks on separate processor cores to concurrently access a single database.

ITTIA’s solution for multi-core systems is based on the company’s secure and highly available embedded database with rich features and standard capabilities. A multi-core processor enables a device to do more work without the excessive power requirements necessary for higher clock speeds. However, to benefit from multi-core, an application must be divided into concurrent tasks. ITTIA DB SQL mitigates the risks and complexity of sharing data safely between tasks on a multi-core device.

Tasks that share access to an ITTIA DB SQL database file can depend on transaction isolation to prevent corruption and inconsistency. The application benefits from thread synchronization primitives, such as mutexes and atomic variables, even without using them directly. This approach avoids race conditions that could damage the integrity of the database.

ITTIA DB SQL also provides great multi-core performance. Row-level locking ensures high read performance even when another task is writing to the database. Transaction group completion, which combines I/O requests from separate tasks, maximizes throughput when multiple tasks write to the database concurrently. These features eliminate significant performance bottlenecks faced by real-world applications.

Some devices can run distinct operating systems on a multi-core processor, to separate real-time and non-real-time tasks onto separate cores. To exchange data between such systems, ITTIA DB SQL supports bidirectional database replication.

ITTIA DB SQL has already been deployed for production use by global industry-leading customers. Customers choose ITTIA DB SQL to benefit from an embedded database with rich data connectivity and management features and create solutions for intelligent devices.

Founded in 2000, ITTIA is the worldwide leader in embedded database and connectivity software and services that help manufacturers to build reliable applications for devices.
