Additional highlights from the report are as follows:
Patents could open up new revenue stream
As we mentioned in our initiation on the company, GTXO’s value is underpinned by a strong intellectual property portfolio, which includes 16 US-issued patents, three US patent applications pending. GTXO also has five combined issued and pending international patents and access to 62 domestic and international patents through multi-patent licensing agreements. On March 2, GTXO announced the latest addition to this portfolio, with a new US patent related to its location based monitoring platform and communication protocols. Importantly, the patent, No. 9,219,978, adds value to the company’s overall IP portfolio and also preserves GTXO’s right to file more patent applications under the “286” banner with a February 2008 priority date. This date could be of significance should the company seek to monetize its patents, potentially via license agreements that could emerge as a new revenue stream.
GPS SmartSoles® continue to receive industry acclaim
Meanwhile GTXO’s flagship product, GPS SmartSoles®, continues to win industry awards and recognition. In January, GPS SmartSoles® received a Bronze Award for the Wearable Technology category at the 2015 New Product & Technology Awards. The award ceremony was presented by Mature Market Resource Center, a national clearinghouse for the senior market, and it is the first awards program of its kind to recognize the most innovative products & services for older adults and their families. This award is the latest of several received by the company for 2015, including being named a Top Ten new technology in 2015 by the AARP and being named a 2nd Place Winner at CTIA E-Tech Awards in the Wearables, Health, Fitness & Wellness category.
Expanding distribution and strategic partnerships may drive market penetration and have significant impact on GTXO’s market value
We were pleased to see an announcement demonstrating that GTXO continues to drive new expansion, with management revealing that GPS SmartSoles® were now available in South America, through a new distribution agreement with Imexpalcom CIA Ltd., a Quito, Ecuador-based distributor specializing in the telecom industry. GPS SmartSoles® will initially be available in Ecuador and Colombia, with plans to expand to Bolivia and Peru later during 2016. In late 2015 GTXO signed an agreement with Telefonica launching its SmartSoles product in Germany. In our view, an expanding distribution network and securing additional partnerships are key factors in driving long-term growth, creating shareholder value, and effecting GTXO’s overall valuation.
