LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atlas Technology International, Inc. (OTCQB:ATLT), a rapidly growing designer, manufacturer and distributor of touchscreen devices, today reported financial results for its fiscal 2017 second quarter and first half ended December 31, 2016.

Atlas Technology’s co-founders bring extensive executive experience in the touchscreen technology business enabling a quick ramp up of operations and revenues. Atlas became a public company through its acquisition of a predecessor company, in a different industry with minimal operations, rendering year-over-year comps that were functionally irrelevant. As a result, its touchscreen business’ first quarter and first half of Fiscal Year 2017 were partial periods.

Atlas’s Second Quarter Fiscal 2017: Company Achieves Breakeven Results in First Full Quarter

Atlas reported $769,821 in revenues for its second quarter of Fiscal Year 2017 ended December 31, 2016. Sequentially, the Company reported $235,971 in touchscreen business revenues in its first fiscal quarter. Although the two quarters cannot be compared directly – adjusted monthly – the significant increase in revenues indicate increasing market demand and the beginning of a new era of growth and expansion.

For the second quarter ended December 31, 2016, Atlas incurred cost of goods of $549,400 for a $220,421 gross profit and 28.6% gross margin. With operating expenses of $220,367, the Company achieved near breakeven results on net income of approximately $4,366, or $0.00 per share.

Atlas posted $1,005,792 in revenues for its first half of Fiscal Year 2017 ended December 31, 2016 – a period comprised of 19 weeks of operations.

For the first half of Fiscal Year 2017, Atlas incurred cost of goods of $718,291 resulting in $287,501 gross profit and 28.5% gross margin. With operating expenses of $389,997, the Company posted a net loss of $108,591, or approximately $0.00 per share. SG&A expenses recorded in the first fiscal quarter reflect approximately $141,901 associated with one-time corporate development and the related costs of becoming a public company.

Atlas’s CEO: ‘An Excellent Start’ and Sees Accelerating Growth in the Second Half of Fiscal Year 2017

Commenting on the Company’s first full quarter as a publicly traded, touchscreen operating company, Matthew Tsai, Chief Executive Officer, said, “We’re off to an excellent start, and hold high expectations for our performance in the second half of Fiscal Year 2017 ending June 30.

“In the past few months we have become a public company, built a solid corporate infrastructure and quickly ramped up customer orders, revenue and posted a modest profit for what we consider effectively breakeven net income. We have relocated our headquarters to Los Angeles to leverage the increasing demand and market acceptance of our technology from both the U.S. and Pacific Rim markets. We recently retained a high-powered IR firm that specializes in emerging growth companies to help build our shareholder base and communicate our progress to the media and investment community.

“Our second quarter results prove out the early value of the initial customer relationships that management brings with them to the Company. As more companies see that Atlas has the expertise, operating and financial strength to design and provide innovative, industry leading touchscreens for a growing variety of marquis branded consumer electronic products, we expect many more of these companies will migrate their business to Atlas. Accordingly, we anticipate robust financial results in the second half of Fiscal Year 2017. In the weeks, ahead, we plan to provide shareholders more specific guidance for the balance of the fiscal year,” Mr. Tsai concluded.
