(1) In this press release, API has provided a non-GAAP financial measure for (i) net profit (loss) to reflect its financial results without expenses related to research & development and restructuring & acquisition expenses. Management believes the non-GAAP presentations make it easier for investors to compare current and historical period operating results. These are not recognized measures under US GAAP, do not have a standardized meaning, and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Accordingly, investors are cautioned that these non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings or loss determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the financial performance of the Company or as a measure of the Company's liquidity and cash flows.

National Hybrid Terminal+ Compact Multi-protocol Data Bus Interface Supports Simultaneous 1553/1760 Functionality

New York, NY February 2010 – API Technologies Corp. (ATNY.OB) ("API" or the "Company"), a prime contractor in sophisticated electronics, highly engineered systems, secure communications and electronic components and subsystems to the global defense and aerospace industries, today announced the release of Terminal+ (pronounced Terminal Plus), the newest National Hybrid 1553 data bus product. The compact National Hybrid Terminal+ offers a multi-protocol data bus interface with integrated transformers and can function as a simultaneous monitor/remote terminal, a programmable bus controller, a remote terminal or a bus monitor.

Designed for both reliability and durability, the Terminal+ ensures the integrity of all data and control structures. The Terminal+ with integrated transformers occupies minimal board space and simplifies PCB layout as well as electrical design.

The cost-effective component, which serves as an interface between a dual redundant bus and a host processor, supports both MIL-STD-1553 and MIL-STD-1760 functionality in a single, low-power component. This makes the Terminal+ ideal for space-constrained, high-reliability rugged applications that require demanding processing power as found in military and commercial avionics.

The subsystem interface can be a local bus or a PCI bus. The local bus interface appears to the host processor as 64K words of 16-bit wide, dual port memory controlled by standard RAM signals. The PCI interface is a 32-bit 33 MHz target. The Terminal+ easily interfaces with all popular processors and buses, since no external logic is required.

The Terminal+ features a protocol ASIC, which controls the multi-protocol functions, two +5 V or +3.3 V monolithic transceivers and a 64k x 16 shared RAM. All logic I/O is 3.3 V that is 5 V tolerant. The only external component required is a 20 MHz clock. The open memory architecture increases design flexibility and reduces software development time and effort.

The built-in interrupt controller uses an internal FIFO that stores message header information. Six pending interrupts and an overflow interrupt can be pushed on to the FIFO, which can be configured to revolve or stop when full.

The Terminal+ implements complete error checking in all operational modes: bus controller, remote terminal, bus monitor and bus monitor/remote terminal. Multiple autonomous data tables ensure data integrity.

The Terminal+ measures 1.05” x 0.75” x 0.185” and is available in a ball grid array with 117 large pitch, oversized balls to eliminate solder shorting risks. Operating temperature is the full military range of -55°C to +125°C (-67°F to 257°F) and storage temperature is -65°C to +150°C (-85°F to +302°F).

API Technologies Announces First North American Order for its Explosive Disposal Robot

api_tech_logo 3
RONKONKOMA, NY - (PR Newswire) - July 21, 2010 -
API Technologies Corp. (OTC.BB: ATNY), a provider of highly engineered products and services to the global defense sector, announces that it has completed the sale of the teleMAX™ Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Robot to the City of Atlanta, Georgia. The total sale, API’s first in North America, is valued at approximately $300,000. The EOD robot is for use at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the world’s busiest passenger airport, which serves approximately 88 million passengers per year.

The teleMAX™ robot weighs 175 pounds, is compact enough to fit into a truck or van and can be easily lifted by two people. It is mass-transit capable, making it ideal for use in aircraft, trains, buses, subways, and public spaces. The robot can easily climb stairs and inclines at an angle of up to 45°, access confined spaces and roll down the center aisle of a passenger jet. In addition, the robot’s operator can remain at a significant and safe distance when the robot is in use.

The teleMAX™ robot was recently featured on the May 2010 cover of Unmanned Systems Magazine.

The City of Atlanta represents the latest high-profile customer of API Technologies whose robotic capabilities include the teleMAX™ and tEODor™ EOD robots, as well as the M2P2™ inspection and surveillance robot.

API Technologies CEO Steve Pudles said, “Atlanta’s purchase of the teleMAX™ robot represents API’s first North American sale of this product.  The Company anticipates a great market opportunity as other cities within North America learn about the robot’s capabilities and discover what it can offer security forces charged with protecting a large population.  We foresee considerable potential for sales as this technology, which has already been deployed in dozens of other countries, becomes more widely appreciated and put into service throughout the continent.”

(1) In this press release, API has provided a non-GAAP financial measure for (i) net income (loss) to reflect its financial results without expenses related to discontinued operations and restructuring and acquisition charges, (ii) gross profit to reflect its financial results without restructuring charges, (iii) gross margin to reflect its financial results without restructuring charges, and (iv) adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), excluding discontinued operations, restructuring charges, acquisition charges and stock-based compensation expenses. Management believes the non-GAAP presentations provide investors an additional analytical tool for understanding the Company’s financial performance by excluding the impact of items which may obscure trends in the core operating performance of the business. These are not recognized measures under US GAAP, do not have a standardized meaning, and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Accordingly, investors are cautioned that these non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings or loss determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the financial performance of the Company or as a measure of the Company's liquidity and cash flows. We expect our financial statements to continue to be affected by items similar to those excluded in the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that all such costs are unusual or infrequent.

API Technologies Announces Merger with SenDEC Corporation
Vintage Capital Management Will Become Majority Shareholder


api_tech_logo 3
NEW YORK, NY AND ORLANDO, FL - (PR Newswire) - January 10, 2011 -
API Technologies Corp. (ATNYD.OB) ("API" or the "Company"), a provider of secure communications, electronic components and subsystems to the global defense and aerospace industries, has signed a definitive merger agreement with Vintage Capital Management LLC ("Vintage") to acquire SenDEC Corporation ("SenDEC"), a leading defense electronics manufacturing services company headquartered in Fairport, NY.  Under the terms of the merger transaction, API will acquire 100% of the equity of SenDEC, which will include SenDEC’s electronics manufacturing operations and approximately $30 million of cash, in exchange for the issuance of 22 million API common shares to an affiliate of Vintage.

SenDEC generated approximately $90 million in revenue and over $3.5 million in net income during their fiscal year ended July 31, 2010.  The combination of SenDEC and API will create a mid-tier defense electronics platform with a broad range of capabilities to better serve its customers' current and future needs during a dynamically transforming era for the defense community.

Upon completion of the transaction, Brian Kahn, managing member of Vintage, will serve as Chairman and CEO of API. SenDEC will operate as a subsidiary of API and Ken Fiske will continue as its CEO. API Defense USA will continue to operate as a subsidiary of API and Steve Pudles will continue as its CEO.  Additionally, Ken Fiske will join the board of directors of API along with Mel Keating, former Director of White Electronic Designs Corporation (sold to Microsemi Corporation in May 2010) and current Director of Integral Systems (NASDAQ: ISYS); Ken Krieg, former Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, and former Director of White Electronic Designs Corporation; and Matthew Avril, President of the Hotel Group for Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:HOT).  All current officers and directors of API will resign their positions, and the Proxy Board for API Defense USA is expected to be dissolved in connection with the completion of the transaction.

API intends to pay down its existing debt with the $30 million of cash acquired in this transaction and emerge with net cash on its balance sheet.  SenDEC's merger with API effectively doubles the size of the Company and presents a variety of immediate revenue synergies and growth opportunities in the defense sector.  Once the transaction is closed, the Company will immediately pursue a listing on NASDAQ.

Phillip DeZwirek, founder and current Chairman and CEO of API Technologies commented, "With this merger, API gets to both combine with SenDEC, one of the leading defense suppliers in the U.S., and partner with Vintage Capital, one of the pre-eminent defense investors in the market.  The new company and its combined capabilities are worth much more than the sum of the parts.  As the founder of API and a significant shareholder, I am very excited about this transformation and believe we can now take the company to the next level of defense contracting.  Brian Kahn and the team from Vintage Capital are the right people to move this effort forward and I consider us fortunate to have them in the leadership roles and with such a significant shareholder position."

Ken Fiske, co-founder and CEO of SenDEC commented, "I am very pleased that we are merging with API to create a truly diversified defense electronics company. Under Brian Kahn's leadership, my whole team is confident about our future and the ability of our new company to fulfill our customers’ current and future needs."

Brian Kahn, managing member of Vintage, stated "We are honored to partner with the founders of both API and SenDEC to create a defense electronics platform with instantaneous critical mass, scalability, and a more diverse range of capabilities to offer our customers. Over the past twelve months, the combined companies generated approximately $200 million of revenues and $20 million of EBITDA.  Steve Pudles, Ken Fiske and I recognize that by combining forces we have an opportunity to create a unique franchise, capable of absorbing increased content within the supply chain of our customers’ electronics needs.  In a time where the Department of Defense is increasing its focus on security, cost effectiveness of solutions, and overall risk mitigation, we will be able to offer our customers a significant advantage as they partner with us to compete for programs."  

The transaction will be executed by way of a reverse triangular merger of a subsidiary of API into SenDEC, in exchange for the issuance of API shares to Vintage. Closing of the transaction is subject to, among other things, approval of existing SenDEC shareholders and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to be completed by mid-January 2011.  The transaction has already been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both API and SenDEC.  Jefferies & Company, Inc. provided a fairness opinion to the API Board of Directors in connection with the transaction.

(1) In this press release, API has provided a non-GAAP financial measure for (i) gross profit to reflect its financial results without restructuring charges, (ii) gross margin to reflect its financial results without restructuring charges, and (iii) adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), excluding discontinued operations, restructuring charges, acquisition charges and stock-based compensation expenses and certain special income items. Management believes the non-GAAP presentations provide investors an additional analytical tool for understanding the Company’s financial performance by excluding the impact of items which may obscure trends in the core operating performance of the business. These are not recognized measures under US GAAP, do not have a standardized meaning, and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Accordingly, investors are cautioned that these non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings or loss determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the financial performance of the Company or as a measure of the Company's liquidity and cash flows. We expect our financial statements to continue to be affected by items similar to those excluded in the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that all such costs are unusual or infrequent.

 

The following table reconciles second quarter and six months GAAP gross profit and gross margin to non-GAAP gross profit and gross margin excluding restructuring charges.

(1) In this press release, API has provided a non-GAAP financial measure for (i) gross profit to reflect its financial results without restructuring charges, (ii) gross margin to reflect its financial results without restructuring charges, and (iii) adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), excluding discontinued operations, restructuring charges, acquisition charges and stock-based compensation expenses and certain special income items. Management believes the non-GAAP presentations provide investors an additional analytical tool for understanding the Company’s financial performance by excluding the impact of items which may obscure trends in the core operating performance of the business. These are not recognized measures under US GAAP, do not have a standardized meaning, and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Accordingly, investors are cautioned that these non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings or loss determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the financial performance of the Company or as a measure of the Company's liquidity and cash flows. We expect our financial statements to continue to be affected by items similar to those excluded in the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that all such costs are unusual or infrequent.
