NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 26, 2015 / Advanced Lighting Solutions Inc. (OTCPK: AVLS), transitioning to formally be known as CP Incorporated, Inc. (“AVLS” or the “Company”), announced today that the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, the OTC Exchange Inc. (“OTCE”), is rapidly advancing OTC Exchange ATS, having now completed is WebCRD application and required ATS registration, with FINRA
and the SEC, respectively. The Company expects to soon beta test its
ATS for an anticipated 2015 launch of a formidable alternative to
current micro-cap exchange systems.

“We are rapidly advancing OTC Exchange ATS with FINRA
and the SEC, working diligently to ensure that our pending membership
and registration documentation is in good order,” said James Morgan,
President of CP Incorporated, Inc. (currently known as Advanced Lighting
Solutions, Inc.). “We seek to safeguard the anticipated future status
of our product being entitled to use WebCRD (Central Registration Depository (CRD/Web CRD)), and, becoming an SEC approved ATS (Alternative Trading System).”

OTCE completed its application to become a CRD member of FINRA
on May 18th, 2015. This gives the Company access to an automated
database where historical records on registered securities
representatives, principals and employees of member firms are
maintained; making for efficient electronic form and data submissions. In addition, on May 18th, the OTCE
forwarded the required ATS registration documentation to the SEC to
become an Alternative Trading System, which allows the OTC Exchange ATS
to become an alternative venue [trading exchange] for the public markets – particularly micro-caps.

As a broker-dealer and an ATS, OTCE
will operate the OTC Exchange ATS as a true inter-dealer quotation and
messaging system. This system is anticipated to provide an array of
functionality, inclusive of fully attributable Over the Counter
(OTC) trade execution, real time quotes, charting and messaging
services, to a vast network of professional and non-professional
subscribers. Management expects that users of today’s known current
trade system process, should find an easy transition to the OTCE’s ATS, a seamless transition and “a refreshing option for the broker dealer community,” stated Mr. Morgan.

Mr. Morgan concluded, “Our mission is simple. To operate a ‘truly’
non-biased, open, transparent and connected marketplace; linking
broker-dealers and providing investors with the necessary tools to best
protect their interest. In rapidly advancing OTC Exchange ATS, securing membership with FINRA
and becoming a registered ATS with the SEC, will allow the OTC Exchange
ATS to help us accomplish that mission – serving as an objective
‘regulated entity’ for greater accountability; without altering
convenience or user experience.”

Management anticipates initiating its beta test of the OTC Exchange ATS inside of June. OTCE
has targeted late 2015 as a launch time for what many believe will
become the market’s most formidable alternative to today’s current
micro-cap exchange system.

DEFINITION of “SEC Form ATS”

A form that is filed with the SEC as an initial operation report or
an amendment to initial operation report, or a cessation of operations
report for alternative trading systems. SEC Form ATS must be filed 20
days prior to the initial operation or before a material change to an
alternative trading system.

ABOUT ATS

An alternative trading system means any organization or system that
provides a market place for bringing together purchases and sellers of
securities. It also applies to any system which with respect to
securities performs the functions commonly performed by a stock exchange
and that does not set rules governing the conduct of its subscribers.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 26, 2015 / The U.S. government issued an executive order declaring
cybercrime a “national emergency” in April of this year. The Bureau of Industry
and Security, a US government agency that deals with issues related to national
security and high technology, is looking at possibly classifying hacking tools
as weapons of war.

Estimates say that the global cost of cybercrime is $400 billion a year, yet in a recent survey of Canadian companies by Price Waterhouse Coopers, 42% of respondents said they have never conducted any formalcybersecurity employee training.

Ray Rothrock, the chairman and CEO of RedSeal, a cybersecurity certification company, who has been investing in cybersecurity for 25 years, recently stated, “…the level of sophistication in cyberattacks has increased dramatically in just the past few years.”

The war on cybercrime is in full swing and the good guys may not be on the winning end. New reports of data breaches hit the headlines every day, but the vast majority go unknown to the general public, many more are as of yet to be discovered. As with any war the collateral damage is immeasurable and the effect far-reaching. 

A warning from a former U.S. Marines hacker and now consultant for TrustedSec, David Kennedy says “You’re seeing the early warning signs of something larger to come that’s going to be disastrous and change how we live day-to-day, It’s only a matter of time until we see a cataclysmic cyberattack. It’ll be widespread and cause fear, panic, and a sense of hopelessness.”

With the #1 threat to global businesses being B.Y.O.D. (bring your own device), the ripple effect of damage to companies and to personal security can begin with the weakest link. At present 80% of employees use personal devices for business use. As innovation for mobile devices and applications continues to develop, risk of threat at the enterprise level will increase. Velocity Data, VCT.CSE is a company continuing with the development of proprietary cybersecurity solutions software that protect mobile devices. CEO Adam Radley states “A large majority of the general population think that cyber security just means antivirus. There’s much more to it than that. There is a long list of online activities that need to be locked down.”

(iii) refinanced its debt with Santander bank, one of the strongest banks globally, and the first time a bank has ever invested in self-storage in either Poland or the Czech Republic; this refinancing halved the Company’s cost of debt to 4.3% and puts the capital structure on a long term stable foundation;

(iv) started rationalising operational costs which has already begun to show improved profitability;

(v) started upgrading and adding rentable space at our Holesovice, Prague property.

Guy Pinsent, Less Mess President and CEO, commented:

“We are pleased with these results, which have started to reflect the real underlying financial performance of the business. The steps taken in our first year since the acquisition have created a solid platform from which to grow in the largely untapped self-storage markets of Poland, the Czech Republic and neighbouring countries.”
