AVENTURA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 29, 2019 / Orbital Tracking Corp. (OTCQB: TRKK) (”Orbital Tracking” or the ”Company”) today reported financial results for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

2018 Company Highlights

The Company experienced continued strong demand for its products in European markets, resulting in record sales in many areas. The Company’s focus on e-commerce sales again contributed heavily towards total sales revenue.

Sales achieved from recurring revenue airtime contracts and prepaid airtime reached a record high, exceeding 40% of the Company’s total revenue during the year. The Company also experienced strong growth in its highly profitable rental service, and from recently introduced product lines such as Personal Locator Beacons, which contributed to more than 10% of the Company’s revenue during the year.

The Company was been recognized by its inclusion on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and energy tech companies in North America.

Sales in North America declined as a result of exceptional sales during the previous year, and insufficient working capital to fund advertising, promotional activities and increase its sales presence in the region. This contributed to a small decline in the Company’s total consolidated annual revenue for the year as compared to the previous year.

The Company raised $500,000 from existing investors through the issuance and sale of Series J and Series L Convertible Preferred Stock to support continued international expansion, additional product lines, increase inventory levels, and cover public company expenses while the Company moves closer to profitability.

Commenting on the Company’s results, David Phipps, its Chief Executive Officer said, ”Although the Company continued to face many challenges during the year and was unable to fully implement the majority of its expansion plans due to insufficient working capital, we are pleased to have maintained upward momentum in some important areas, including recurring airtime revenue. The global demand for our products remains strong and we attracted thousands of new corporate, individual, reseller and government customers from around the world during 2018. We aim to successfully implement our growth plans during 2019, which include launching new products, expanding into new markets and opening additional storefronts and sales offices.”

2018 Financial Results

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company’s consolidated revenues decreased by 4.6% to approximately $5,726,572 from $6,004,955, as reported for the year ended December 31, 2017. This decrease in sales was attributable to significant one-time contracts and awards during 2017, totaling $476,439, which were not repeated during 2018, and extreme weather conditions during 2017, which resulted in a significant increase in sales during the 2017 hurricane season. For the 2017 hurricane season, sales were $1,635,834 for the three-month period, as compared to $1,329,549 for the same three-month period in 2018, a sales decrease of $306,285 or 18.7%.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, comparable sales by subsidiary are as follows; GTCL, the Company’s UK-based subsidiary, decreased 1.7% or $69,582 to $3,921,378 from $3,990,960. The UK comparable sales in GBP, the home currency, decreased 2.4% or £72,892, from £3,098,112 to £3,025,220 for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to December 31, 2017. Orbital Satcom Corp., the Company’s US-based subsidiary, decreased 10.4% or $208,801 to $1,805,194 from $2,013,995.

The net loss reported for 2018 was approximately $1,194,706, as compared to a net loss of approximately $3,939,309 for fiscal 2017. The factors contributing to the decrease in loss for the year ended December 2018, were primarily attributable to a decrease of $543,885, or 20.1%, in total operating expenses from $2,708,345, for the year ended December 31, 2017, to $2,164,460 for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the 2017 recording of $2,308,981 for non-cash expenses represented by Series J Preferred Stock issuances, which triggered price protection clauses for certain subscribers of the Company’s Preferred Series F, Preferred Series G Stock and Preferred Series H Stock. The Company has no further obligations in regard to price protection for its Preferred Stock.

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / March 29, 2019 / West Palm Beach resident Alex Kowtun has created a brand that is basically a millennial’s fantasy.

Monkey In Paradise combines an award-winning vodka with viral social media accounts and accepts Bitcoin as a payment option for online merchandise.

But the 36-year-old’s company isn’t just for young people. ABC Fine Wine and Spirits has picked it up, it now has a strong presence in Georgia and even President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago is buying up cases of the vodka that is distilled in Riviera Beach, said Kowtun, who started the company with co-founders Seth Goldberg and Frank Gomez.

“Within four to five years we intend on being a national brand in all 50 states,” Kowtun said.

That’s pretty quick growth for a guy who didn’t know anything about distilling vodka 18 months ago. In fact, Monkey in Paradise didn’t even start as a spirits company.

Common problems require innovative solutions. This is how businesses are born. A simple creative solution can spur an unexpected business model for you and Alex Kowtun knows all about this.

As an avid entertainer in West Palm Beach, Kowtun believed he was solving a simple problem for his guests, but, found himself and his business partners with a rapidly growing business, instead.

While entertaining guests, Kowtun found that his guests were having cocktail mix ups and were frequently mixing up which cup was theirs. He thought he was avoiding a common problem by ordering 100 multicolor monkey cocktail markers, but, found that they were serving a much larger purpose.

Social drinking is used as a means of ice breaking, opening up, and getting to know people with ease. What happens when the drink itself isn’t enough of a conversation warmer? Maybe, the solution is the cocktail marker. For Kowtun and his social circle, the cocktail marker was a hit. People were thrilled by the simple multi colored monkeys and enjoyed the added spirit which they added to social gatherings.

From there. Monkeys In Paradise was born. With a vast social media outburst and following of the cute monkeys and creative decals, something innovative needed to happen. Through the organic growth of social media, Monkey In Paradise was able to gather a large millennial following with their new and inspired concept.

The next step became creating a super premium vodka at an affordable price point. Since Monkey In Paradise Vodka hit the market 2 short years ago, it started as a small local South Florida brand. Today it is being distributed in 12 states with a national growth plan over the next 36 months.

Post market launch, Monkey In Paradise Vodka has won several awards, including Best Vodka at the New York World Spirits Competition 2018 and the prestigious Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

While Kowtun’s creation was initially meant for his friends, him and his founding business partners, Frank Gomez and Seth Goldberg, made no mistake in seizing the opportunity to create a business around the monkeys. With little knowledge of spirit sales and production, Kowtun and his team created a premium brand from the ground up. All of this goes to show you can never underestimate the power of creativity.

BOSTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / March 29, 2019 / Urban renewal and revitalization is a trend that continues in locations positioned within close proximity to leading cities that often played a role in industries that have since died from their peak days. Once part of the state’s mill and factory towns that drove much of the Massachusetts commercial development, the city of Worcester has over the last few decades been unable to avoid economic decline. The city’s depreciating infrastructure that once attracted both businesses and residents, was ultimately unable to sustain the qualities required for a healthy urbanized area. However, the future is looking to be a different situation for the western Mass city as it works to rebuild itself, using a combination of its historical success and future development that will ultimately help position it for a comeback. Though the makings of a successful city revival are complicated with many contributing factors that cannot be forced and rather are in part created organically overtime.

Taking a look at the break down of what must happen and be in place for a location to revitalize its once vibrant and financially sustainable community, one of the first focuses is the residents in and around the area. This can be related back to how well connected the population is in its ability to sustain growth both for businesses and the overall city. This is a baseline that will on its own help to attract commercial entities to the area if they identify the city’s workforce is well skilled and educated, has roots that will keep them centrally located and also can help forester the living aspects of a successfully run organization. Companies are also looking at the diversity of a particular area to make sure the talent pool not only has various skill levels but also different cultures that can help create a better overall business environment.

Businesses are also a key component that will help Worcester to build out its position in today’s top industries and may be the most important factor to not only rebuild but sustain the growth they can stimulate. ”Development projects and new supply chains most always need to be in the works to highlight a future opportunity that businesses will want to take advantage of. The balance is one that needs to prompt commercial interest and a stream of investments to the city that can be paid back through creating a successful industry ecosystem in the area.” shares property developer Marcus Hiles who has targeted up-and-coming areas early on in his 30 years of experience as CEO of leading property firm Western Rim Properties. With new projects in the plans for the city’s downtown area, companies may see the chance to be one of the early movers that will benefit from being at the heart of the city’s renewal.

Further than the community’s residents and business interest that will drive Worcester’s future success, there are other key factors that help create a location’s popularity and overall demand including affordability and accessibility. On the matter of accessibility, the city logistically has a key advantage with its position located at the cross-section of five major Massachusetts highways that can easily bring commuter residents in once its commercial foundation is reestablished. Not only setup to attract out-of-towners, the city itself offers an affordability that far outweighs locations like neighboring Boston, MA that has a cost of living over 20% higher than that of Worcester.

These key factors when combined with other public accommodations can help any city get back on its feet after what could be decades of economic downspin. As the rebuild gets started and other cities more crowded, it is a welcomed addition that residents and businesses will take advantage of to create future success.
