RARITAN, N.J., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wi-Tron, Inc.
(OTC:WTRO) (BULLETIN BOARD: WTRO) , a manufacturer of ultra-linear
high power amplifiers, today announced financial and operational
results for the second quarter of 2006. Revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2006 declined by $73,410 from $150,785 to
$77,375, or 49% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005.
As a result, the Company incurred net losses of $409,348 or $0.01
per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared with net
losses of $280,292 or $0.03 per share for the same quarter in 2005.
The majority of sales revenue for second quarter was from the
Spanish Navy (a repeat customer) for high frequency RF amplifiers.
Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 declined by
$175,848 from $293,377 to $117,529, or 60% compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2005. As a result, the Company incurred net
losses of $728,505 or $0.03 per share for the six months ended June
30, 2006 compared with net losses of $442,583 or $0.04 per share
for the same period in 2005. The majority of sales revenue for the
first six months was from a repeat European customer for Wireless
Local Loop amplifier products. The Company has attracted additional
funding interest; with net cash proceeds of $899,000 received for
the first six months of 2006, compared to $464,745 during the first
six months of 2005. Selling stock to raise capital and for paying
certain debts and for our restructuring program has resulted in
significant dilution. As of June 30, 2006 the Company had
32,811,047 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, compared
to 17,778,267 on June 30, 2005. Wi-Tron CEO, Mr. Joe Nordgaard
said, "Our strategic turn around has begun, but you can't see it in
the numbers yet. We plan to increase sales of our legacy products,
while developing cutting edge technological designs to leverage
into a growing $2 billion a year amplifier market for near and long
term sales growth." 2006 Business Outlook Improving near-term sales
is based on leveraging our new management team's credentials and
sales methods to improve sales with previous customers, who slowed
or stopped orders from us over the past few years. We
re-established sales discussions with these previous customers, who
are quite satisfied with our proven wireless product design
portfolio (including a key patent in analog pre-distortion), over
10 years experience in custom designing RF amplifiers and high-tech
(military specification) manufacturing (less than 2% return rate).
One example of this is a larger sales order from a repeat customer
in Asia for our GSM Low Noise Amplifiers. We anticipate shipping 80
units in 3rd quarter, which is an increase of the 60 units shipped
in 1st and 2nd quarter 2006. Mr. Nordgaard commented on the
Company's future outlook, "The key to Wi-Tron's future growth in
the wireless industry is to correctly anticipate the evolution of
power amplifier development and to develop key products that
support and lead that evolution. We are preparing for opportunities
at the cutting edge of advance RF Amplifier design, where both the
greatest demand and the greatest opportunity to gain market-share
with high margin solutions exist." Wi-Tron's corporate strategy is
focused on three key areas: > Developing the most advanced
amplifier products in the world, which gives us a lead
time-to-market advantage against industry leaders; >
Establishing strategic relationships with emerging industry
leaders, which gives us greater leverage into new market regions,
including China and Latin America; > Manufacturing in China,
which gives us a competitive price advantage. Wi-Tron's R&D and
engineering team is developing a series of product design platforms
in RF amplifier technology for second, third and fourth generation
wireless telecommunications systems. Our amplifiers and associated
support products increase power and frequency efficiency and
resolve key issues that are in great demand by wireless service
providers and equipment vendors around the world. The first new
product design, a W-CDMA amplifier with DSP control was recently
completed and the companion GSM 1800 MHz band amplifier module
should be ready by early 4th quarter, 2006. We have submitted our
W-CDMA amplifier to a partner in Asia for customer evaluation and
will submit the GSM 1800 MHz band amplifier module as soon as it is
ready. We are targeting the Chinese Telecom market with these
products and plan to develop additional products in 2007. In
preparation for our growth plans in China, Wi-Tron has made good
progress towards establishing a "wholly owned" Wi-Tron subsidiary
in China to develop sales opportunities and oversee manufacturing
operations. Our plan is to launch the subsidiary once Company sales
and manufacturing objectives are met. Mr. Nordgaard commented, "Our
financial results for 2nd quarter were unsatisfactory, but we have
made progress in paying down debt, improving sales and business
operations and in developing new products. We will continue to
build Wi-Tron into a highly respected and profitable business by
exceeding our customers' expectations and focusing on product
relevancy and profitability. We are well along in building new
strategic relationships to supply a number of telecom vendors in
the Chinese, Asian, European and Latin American markets. Through
these efforts, we believe we can gain access to the U.S. telecom
market as well." As a result of these new product development
efforts, the Company has an agreement to manufacture and ship its
30W iDEN amplifier to a repeater manufacturer for trials in the
third quarter for the Latin America market. About Wi-Tron Inc.
