January 16, 2011

Hello and thank you for taking a look at our most recent newsletter. Together our employees have produced a year of excellent financial performance. Across our business model, we had a great year. We landed new orders and launched new products and added new distributors in North America. We have had improved earnings and margins. Our operating performance has improved every quarter through the year as our drive to run healthy core businesses has taken deep root. Recently we have added a consistent 10 new Retail Business Outlets per Week under the U-Track Distributor Program that we highlighted in the last newsletter. Our total is now over 158 retailors in North America that carry a variety of Alopek tracking products and have added dramatically to our overall annual net profits in 2010. The state of the Company has never been better and we are projected to reach new profit levels in 2011. Since 2008, the company has entertained numerous brokerage houses and public markets to help facilitate an influx of working capital without jeopardizing integrity or diluting shareholders positions. We recognize and understand the need for share liquidity and we are also very cognizant of maintaining share value; therefore we will continue to be extremely cautious in our pursuit of a flotation onto a public market for our company shares.

We will continue to focus on running healthy core businesses, on leveraging our strengths into new products and new services, and on opening new frontiers.

EYE ON IT: Current Industry Trends
November 14, 2010

In an effort to improve commercial aviation safety, The Federal Aviation Administration is introducing its Next Gen GPS program by installing the GPS tracking equipment in 35 JetBlue aircraft. This 4.2 million dollar FAA funded test is designed to demonstrate the next generation in traffic flow as the antiquated radar system continues to fall behind other industry modernization programs. Historically the Federal Aviation Administration has been criticized for being more reactive than proactive. However, the benefits of GPS tracking cannot be overlooked as the replacement for ground based radar.

The Alopek Bus Tracker being applied to Metro Applications
July 5, 2010

A new program being tested by New York City's Metropolitan Transit Authority is using the latest in GPS technology to ensure area residents aren't left waiting at bus stops and delaying their busy schedules any more then they have to.

The pilot program is currently running on two crosstown bus lines, allowing for real time bus information to not only dispatchers of the MTA, but area bus riders as well. Local news website Gothamist.com gave details about the new program, showing that riders have a variety of options for keeping tabs on how regularly buses are running and when they can expect the next one to arrive at their stop.

Riders with smartphones can download an MTA app and snap photos of a two-dimensional bar code at every stop, which will then feed information to their phone, allowing them to know when the next bus is set to arrive. Riders without smartphones can use regular cell phones to send text messages with the numerical code displayed at each stop which will then send them a return text of the real-time location of several buses. New Yorkers can also test it out on the MTA's website by clicking on the pilot program's bus icon to see it's exact location, as well as entering the nearest bus stop intersection to find out how many stops away is the next arriving bus.

An analyst for the MTA said that they are currently working on developing an "accurate prediction algorithm" which will allow riders to not only know how far away the next bus is, but also the exact time it will take until the bus arrives at their designated stop.

School District
May 30, 2010

Teen tracking programs that incorporate GPS tracking have been met with past success in school districts throughout the nation, including San Antonio and Baltimore. In these two cities, attendance rates among middle and high school students jumped from roughly 77 to 95 percent after the GPS tracking devices were issued. Seventh and eighth graders with four or more unexcused absences are labeled "chronically truant" by the Anaheim Union High School District, and teen tracking service providers are aiming to mirror the success realized in other national school districts to provide an intervention to help these students develop better attendance habits.

GPS Tracking Teen drivers
March 21, 2010

Several U.S. auto insurers have begun offering in-car cameras or global positioning equipment to help parents monitor their teenagers' driving behavior, hoping to reduce the alarming number of crashes involving young new motorists.

Industry experts say it's too soon to gauge the effectiveness of programs like American Family Insurance Co.'s Teen Safe Driver, used by the Kindermans in Madison, Wis. But the case for needing to improve highway safety for teens is compelling.

Insurance companies can benefit significantly if the initiatives catch on, One of the programs — Safeco Corp.'s Teensurance — just announced premium discounts of up to 15 percent for its customers who participate.

GPS Wing to update new version
Febuary 22, 2010

In a move to increase military capabilities and GPS accuracy, Boeing is under contract by the U.S. Air Force to produce twelve GPS IIF space vehicles. Most of us look at GPS as a technology of convenience providing directions, surveying, GPS tracking services, etc. However, the technology was designed for the Department of Defense and is still the primary purpose of this program. Anti-jamming features will provide a battlefield specific advantage and is also integral to the overall national security initiative. All other users will benefit from this upgrade even though the features will be transparent. According to Boeing, the first of twelve satellites was launched in May of 2010 via a Delta II launch vehicle with the second in the series launching in early 2011 from Cape Canaveral in Florida. Although the space program has seen its budget severely cut in these tough economic times, the critical services needed by the U.S. military ensures sustainability within the GPS commercial market. This means improved safety for the aviation industry and increased potential for system developers.

The GPS Wing has authorized publication of three technical documents with updated specifications for the U.S. Global Positioning System, including the next-generation GPS Block IIIA satellites now in development, the GPS III, will give new navigation warfare (NAVWAR) capabilities to shut off GPS access to a limited geographical location while providing GPS to US and allied forces. GPS III will offer significant improvements in navigation capabilities by improving interoperability and jam resistance. The procurement of the GPS III system is planned for multiple blocks, with the GPS IIIA portion currently underway. GPS IIIA includes all of the GPS IIF capability plus up to a ten-fold increase in signal power, a new civil signal compatible with the European Union's Galileo system, and a new spacecraft bus that will allow a growth path to future blocks. A new section has also been added to the website regarding U.S. government continuity commitments for semi-codeless GPS users..

Florida Airboat Association
July 5, 2009

Recognizing the need for theft prevention in airboats and outdoor recreational vehicles we have developed the Gator Tracker. Using the basic tracking hardware from the V-track, Alopek technicians are able to use a shock proof and water proof casing and reconfigure the software to track and protect the large number of air boaters and recreational vehicle owners in the United States. With an active membership of over 25,000 throughout the United States in just airboat owners, there is a supreme need to protect and track these vehicles. Alopek President George Playton attended a membership meeting in Florida and was able to showcase the newly designed Alopek Gator Tracker (A.G.T. http://www.alopek.com/products.html ) to elected leaders of the Florida Airboat Association (F.A.A.) FAA President Bishop Wright indicated that there is a need for a theft prevention device with airboats to help secure hard-to-get theft insurance. This affordable item retailing at $399.00 will allow many rec-vehicle owners to insure their airboats against theft. Users have an arm and disarm feature that allows for easy travel with their portable airboats that will send a silent alert to the owner if the vehicle is moved at any time. As an enhancement the tracking feature is available as well in spite of the fact that many airboat owners are excellent navigators and don’t get lost. The Gator Tracker is currently in production and will be available for retail in two weeks.

The A.C.T. enables users to track cargo containers from the time it leaves the foreign factory to arrival at the US port and then to its final destination. In essence, our A.C.T. unit never loses sight of the asset. In addition to being able to see the exact location of a shipper’s container, the company has incorporated a series of alerts that notify the users certain status of the unit, such as door open, temperature, humidity and geo fence locations. The A.C.T. tracking system is the most viable and economical method for total supply chain management and will provide a major deterrent for theft and any potential terrorist activities. The unit has been reasonably priced and has a negotiated back-end fee dependent on volume. Given the fact that the unit can be moved from container to container, the cost on a per trip basis is reduced to dollars per trip over the life of the unit. Company representatives that attended the show felt that there was a very positive favorable acceptance of the product and were able to do multiple product demonstrations to interested parties that could produce new accounts for the company.
