Picometrix a subsidiary of Advanced Photonix supplied the Terahertz platform and tools used in INFRASTRUCTS

(see: http://terahertztechnology.blogspot.com/2013/07/internal-thz-tagging-technique_23.html )

The joint venture by Carnegie Melon and Microsoft to develop a new technology called Infrastructs which embeds information directly inside items which can then be read by a THz scanner and which can be used in 3D printing, used a Picometrix platform.

Gizmodo had this to say about Inftrastructs:
Say you have a 3D-printed item you're selling. Maybe you slap a barcode on it that identifies what it is, where it came from, and how much it costs. However, Microsoft has developed a new technology called InfraStructs that offers a better alternative. With it, you could embed information directly inside of an item.

I too am looking to buy. The consistent buying by some entity tells me that something good is cooking. These guys have been masterful at taking it up a bit and letting it fall back and scare stock in cheap, then raise it again and do it all over again.

API-Has Broken out of resistance

I am a heavy buyer here

[tsoprano-1]

Looks very promising. Is that a head and shoulder between August and September? I posted something on the Investor Village board about my uncle sending a contact of his info on API for the guy's group, alumni of West Point, that are looking into THz for IED detection. Could be very interesting, since API already deals with the military.

API-Breakout mode IMO

If you go to investor village and look at Tug's posts you will see some interesting comments. Also continues to move slowly upward.

API-When we are above 1 will be happy

[tsoprano-1]

Still seems to be a lot of weak sisters waiting to get out. Couple that with a patient buyer and it could take a week or so to eat through stock down here. If they would release more of the news it might help, but my guess is that the buyer is dictating when they release news. Might as well create as much selling as possible as long as they have an appetite. The more they get down here cheap the less that will be coming out when the run begins. And if the past is any indicator, there will be a run sooner or later.

Dissapointing day, Im still holding but was looking for close above 70

I did like the part in the article saying this would be the first of many sales to the industry.

API-Nice News

[tsoprano-1]

Cj, great chart. I have been following API for a decade, and I just started looking at chart from the standpoint of the 20,50,100,&200 day EMAs. Lining up perfectly. There has been a constant buyer for over a month now, but they are smart. Don't take out offers unless sells at bid dry up. Upcoming quarters are supposed to be very good, as telecom is ramping up. THz sales should come on in a Q or two. As to 3D, they may be involved in a small way but aren't talking about it. The T-ray 5000 will be able to spot objects, like guns, from a distance, so they will be important down the line. Take care.

Advanced Photonix, Inc. Reports Improved FY2014 First Quarter Results

4:05 PM ET 8/12/13 | PR Newswire

Advanced Photonix® (NYSE MKT: API) (the Company, we, us or our) today reported improved results for the first quarter ended June 28, 2013.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130304/LA69982LOGO)

Financial Highlights for the First Quarter Ended June 28, 2013

-- Net sales for the quarter were $7.1 million, an increase of $1.1 million or 14% from the first quarter ended June 29, 2012. Sequentially, revenues were up 18% relative to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.

-- Gross profit margin for Q1 2014 was 41.4% of sales compared to 36.1% for the first quarter ended June 29, 2012. Cost reduction efforts and a favorable mix helped improve the rate.

-- Current quarter net loss was $925,000 or $0.03 per diluted share, as compared to a quarterly net loss of $993,000, or $0.03 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 29, 2012.

-- The Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $403,000 or $0.01 per diluted share, as compared to a Non-GAAP loss of $689,000, or $.02 per diluted share, for the first quarter last year.

-- Adjusted EBITDA (which is defined as GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock compensation), was a negative $68,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to negative adjusted EBITDA of $456,000 for the quarter ended June 29, 2012.

Operating Expenses

The Company's total operating expenses for the quarter were $3.5 million, up approximately $232,000 from the prior year quarter due primarily to the operating expenses assumed when Advanced Photonix Canada (APC) acquired the net operating assets of Silonex. Total operating expenses were 48.8% of sales compared to 51.8% for the first quarter last year.

Balance Sheet

The Company finished the quarter with $581,000 in cash compared to $619,000 as of March 31, 2013. Approximately $922,000 was drawn on the Company's line of credit. Net working capital as of June 28, 2013 was $4.2 million.

Richard Kurtz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are excited to see the top line growing again due to increased telecommunication infrastructure spending and the APC acquisition. We continue to believe that our fiscal year 2014 revenues will exceed last year's revenues by over 35%. As I stated in our annual report, we have begun to include our industrial sales as part of the Test and Measurement market. In the past we had combined our telecommunication transmission product sales and communication test and measurement (Comtest) product sales as telecommunication revenue. Going forward we have split this out so that the telecommunication revenues includes solely the transmission revenues. We have included the Comtest product sales in the Test and Measurement category along with the previous Industrial sales and our Terahertz nondestructive test and process control sales. When looked at this way, over 50% of API's revenues come from using optoelectronics to solve our customer's need to test and measure key elements in their applications that can only be done through optical sensing. We look forward to establishing API as a leader in the test and measurement market."

Conference Call

Participating in the call will be Richard Kurtz (CEO and Director), Rob Risser (COO and Director), and Jeff Anderson (CFO). The live audio webcast will be accessible at http://www.videonewswire.com/event.asp?id=95345 and will last approximately one hour. The conference call will end with a question and answer period. To access the conference call dial 800.860.2442 (412.858.4600 for international and 866.605.3852 for Canada).

Alternatively, an archived version of the conference call will be available shortly following the conclusion of the live call in the Investors section of API's website at www.advancedphotonix.com.

Advanced Photonix Announces Continued Market Penetration and Terahertz Success

Last update: 7/9/2013 8:35:00 AM

ANN ARBOR, Mich., July 9, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Advanced Photonix? (nyse mkt:API), the leading supplier of terahertz systems to industry, announces today that it has sold two new T-Gauge? sensor systems. The first sale is a spare or backup system for an existing T-Gauge? system used in a critical manufacturing process overseas. The second system will be deployed on an industrial manufacturing line to provide 100% inspection of roofing materials for quality control. This inspection system is expected to be the first in a number of systems deployed to this customer.

The ability of terahertz energy to penetrate non-conducting materials allows inspection of solid and liquid products after packaging. The wide frequency content and high precision of the T-Gauge? system provides sensitivity to both physical and chemical changes in the product. Measurement of thickness, density, and certain material properties can be used to monitor the quality of the product being produced.

"With the addition of more systems deployed internationally we are continuing to develop a strong global support network for our value-added resellers and customers. This new deployment to a roofing manufacturer expands our applications to a new customer in an existing market. We would like to thank our value-added reseller, Thermo Fisher Scientific, for their hard work in bringing in this new opportunity," said API CEO Richard Kurtz.

sigh...

[hogg]

I jumped in at .52 , but I don't see why this wouldn't atleast hit .80 next week and possibly a lot more. We will see.

[dshade]

I was watching, called triple bottom, but, I simply had a question for the company which they responded to late in the afternoon. Unfortunately, the news came out first and I missed it. Just a bad case of poor timing. I should have asked my question the day before.

[IamtheWalrus]

Why didn't you? this thing broke two resistance levels today, going to go higher here imo

[dshade]

shame, I was going to start a position. but IR never got back to me.

[dshade]

dancing around a 2yr triple bottom here. just unknown entity for most.

[New trader PA]

Why the decline? Is this dead???

[was pennytrader]

I agree. Might see some good spec. money come in here. nice chart setup. In @ .51

[dshade]

could turn around here now...

ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Advanced Photonix® (NYSE MKT: API), the leading supplier of terahertz systems, announced today that it has built and shipped a record number terahertz systems in December 2012. Of the four systems shipped, two of the systems were part of a three system order previously announced for the Japanese market. The other two systems were part of the Appleton Paper strategic alliance, also announced earlier.
On August 1, 2012, Advanced Photonix® announced the sale of three T-Gauge® systems to the Company's Japanese distributor for deployment on a manufacturing line providing 100% inspection and quality control of packaged products. This is the first industrial deployment of terahertz in Japan. The T-Gauge® systems will inspect individual packages for contaminates or anomalies in a powder. This high-speed application was jointly developed by API and our distributor. The system will scan each individual package in five seconds using both imaging and waveform analysis to determine product quality.
On September 5, 2012, Advanced Photonix® announced a strategic alliance and the sale of two systems to Appleton Paper, a specialty coating developer and manufacturer of thermal, carbonless, security and specialty papers. Appleton will utilize terahertz energy to perform various critical measurements in order to provide inspection and quality control of current and newly developed coated products. The ability of terahertz energy to penetrate non-conducting materials allows for the inspection of solid and liquid products that have already been packaged. The wide frequency content and high precision of the T-Gauge® system provides sensitivity to both physical and chemical changes. Measurement of thickness, density, and certain material properties can be used to monitor the quality of the manufactured product.
“I would like to congratulate the Terahertz manufacturing team for building and shipping a record four systems in a single month," commented Richard Kurtz, Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Photonix. "This milestone achievement is indicative of our team's ability to accommodate growth expectations. As our work on the F-35 program is expected to conclude in the coming quarters, we will continue our transition from contract revenues to product revenues. We will always explore government contract work opportunistically, but believe it will become a smaller portion of our Terahertz revenue as our commercial business increases.”

This may impact API. They did tests with AT&T using their high speed devices.

AT&T Unveils $14B Network Spending Plan








By THOMAS GRYTA AT&T Inc. T -2.76% plans to spend $14 billion over the next three years to expand its wireless and wired network, a move that will increase the company's debt load in a bet that data consumption will continue to grow in coming years.

The telecommunications company had considered selling all or part of its 22-state wireline business, but it determined that investing in the operations was a better option for several reasons, including the regulatory hurdles of divesting such assets. The company is expanding plans for its next-generation LTE wireless network and will invest to increase its U-verse Internet and TV service.

Chief Executive Randall Stephenson said customers will increasingly depend on high-speed connections in many aspects of their lives, which is the reasoning behind the investment, which the company calls Project Velocity IP.

AT&T expects wireless, wireline data and managed information-technology services to make up 90% of total revenue by 2016, up from the current share of about 80%, it said at a presentation Wednesday in New York.

Ralph de la Vega, chief executive of AT&T's wireless business, a key growth driver for the entire company, projected wireless service margins of 40% by year-end with a long-term goal of 45%. The margin rise is expected to come from continued revenue growth as well as the lower costs of using more-efficient LTE technology on the wireless network.

He projected wireless churn, the rate of service cancellations, to continue dropping and hit record lows by 2015. The company recently launched shared-data plans that allow multiple customers to share one data bucket over multiple devices.

Mr. de la Vega projects that one-third of customers will remain on legacy unlimited data plans, but that those who remain have a very low churn rate.

In the area covered by its wireline business, AT&T said 99% of the population will have high-speed broadband access or coverage on the LTE network.

AT&T's investment plan includes expanding its 4G LTE network to 300 million people in the U.S. by the end of 2014, up from its current plans to deploy to 250 million people by year-end 2013.

The company expects to expand its U-Verse service to 33 million customer locations, up from 24.5 million by end of 2015.

During the next three years, the company projects per-share earnings growth in the mid-single-digit or better range, with an opportunity for stronger growth going forward. AT&T projects consolidated revenue rising at the rate of U.S. GDP growth, plus 1 percentage point, assuming the economy is stable.

The company will spend about $8 billion on the wireless efforts and about $6 billion for the wireline investment. Capital spending will rise to about $22 billion per year for the next three years from the program, after which it will return to earlier levels.

As it invests, AT&T expects to issue debt to take advantage of low interest rates. Over the next two years, its net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio is seen rising to 1.8 from 1.42 at the end of September. AT&T expects the ratio to drop back down in 2015.

In the past three years, the company said it has cut debt by $9 billion, refinanced $20 billion in borrowings and cut the cost of its debt by 60 basis points.

The company also boosted its quarterly dividend by a penny to 45 cents Wednesday. AT&T added that it plans to complete in 2012 its December 2010 share repurchase authorization of 300 million shares and can continue to buy shares under an additional 300-million-share plan approved in July.

Advanced Photonix, Inc. Receives Contract for THz Paint Thickness Measuring System

Last update: 5/15/2012 9:04:00 AM


ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 15, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Advanced Photonix, Inc.(R) (API), today announces that it has received a contract from Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) for delivery of a terahertz (THz) system to support the U.S. Air Force's need for accurate coating removal on aircraft. The contract is valued at over $300K and will culminate with the delivery of the Company's new T-Gauge(R) system and a sensor specific to the application in the Company's second quarter of this fiscal year.

CTC is an applied scientific research and development services organization that has been contracted by the Air Force to develop a robot mounted laser ablation scanner capable of removing partial or entire paint layers from the surface of an aircraft. Paint removal from aircraft and aircraft parts is a very labor intensive task for the Air Force that requires a very accurate thickness measurement of the various layers. The API T-Gauge(R) system, coupled with a high-speed line scanner will be an integral part of the laser removal process. The API THz system will scan the surface and develop a three-dimensional map that will feedback to the robotic motion control and accurately move the laser for proper paint removal.

"Our API T-Gauge(R) system is an ideal complement to the laser paint removal system and will reduce costs and process time, as well as improve the consistency and quality, of the paint removal," says Robin Risser, COO for API. "We have been a pioneer in utilizing terahertz to accurately and quickly measure layer thicknesses that require the unique properties of our THz product platform and are gaining traction utilizing this capability in the military and aerospace markets. We believe this unique thickness measuring capability will also be useful for industrial markets. This design win represents yet another step in our march toward widespread market deployment of our world leading THz product platform."

Advanced Photonix has participated in a number of contracts to measure the thickness of low observable coatings in the paint booth, on aircraft panels, and on the fully constructed plane. After a short feasibility study, CTC has amended the contract to include a high speed scanning system to provide accurate measurement of the pre-ablation coating. The commercial availability of the T-Gauge(R) system allowed CTC to accelerate completion of their contract and significantly reduced the development risk that was initially envisioned.

Richard (Rick) Kurtz, Chairman and CEO of API, states, "This purchase is further confirmation that the T-Gauge(R) measurement system can operate in harsh conditions and provide critical information to reduce cost in the manufacture, assembly and maintenance of our nation's aircraft."
