Alex Umbra's response to r/s rumors. His comment can also be found on latest YouTube video comments section.
"Good afternoon everyone, this is Alex Umbra. I just wanted to stop in and address some concerns that you might have. Apparently we have received many phone calls and emails from concerned shareholders in reference to a potential reverse split. First, I must apologize for giving Rich the impression that we were doing a reverse split as that is not accurate. The company has no intention of doing a reverse split. That said, we do intend to uplist to a senior exchange and there is a strategy in place that we have already begun to execute. There will be more news on this in the coming weeks.?"

7/26/2017 Umbra Applied Technologies Launches Redesigned Website
TAMPA, FL, Jul 26, 2017 Umbra Applied Technologies Group UATG, +16.55% announced today that its subsidiary Umbra Applied Technologies (UAT) has launched its newly updated website www.umbraappliedtechnologies.com.
As a leader in advanced technologies the new website provides quick and intuitive access to its versatile product lines, as well as extensive resources for customers and investors looking to keep abreast of the most advanced industry specific technologies available.
Taking three and a half months to complete, the company's new web portal has been redesigned to focus primarily on customers' interests and needs while accomplishing the underlying goal of becoming the most trusted name in the defense technology industry. To help execute this project, UAT's IT department partnered with Boost Local, a Las Vegas based digital marketing and design agency. Boost Local, a Premier Google Partner, started with an extensive strategy phase which included click through analysis, search optimization analytics and interviewing past and current customers to determine what data they were most interested in and how to deliver that content to them. Next, they executed a creative production effort to leverage these findings and implement best practice techniques including website design and search engine optimization (SEO). The newly launched website provides a more enhanced and effective user experience for customers while showcasing the range of products and service offerings of the company.
As a result of the enhanced user flow, pages per session increased by 53%, average time on site increased 33% and bounce rate has decreased to an industry leading 7%.
The new website features include enhanced search engine optimization (SEO) techniques that ensure UAT content is made more broadly available. Page speed is improved by more than 53%. The company's stated goal is to reach a wider range of users across all device types with a fully responsive website design that allows the company to present the ultimate user experience across multiple devices. This allows UAT to reach a wider range of users via search advertising as well as social media marketing. The new user interface (UI) represents the cornerstone of the Umbra applied technologies digital presence. This model will be rolled out across all of the company's division, product suites and services within the Umbra family in the coming months and is in preparation of its ecommerce launch.
Alex Umbra, UAT's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We see dramatic benefits to this relationship with Boost Local as we launch several retail products during Q3 and Q4 of this year. The new website has been completely redesigned to offer the ultimate user-friendly experience with improved navigation and functionality while allowing customers to see our full product portfolio."
Simplified design elements to reflect a minimalist approach are apparent throughout the user's web experience and in keeping with the marketing of a powerful brand like UAT. Simplified site navigation designed with a more intuitive feel enhances a user's search capability making it simpler to find the appropriate product or application information to suit a wide range of solutions.
The new UAT website features convenient portals to request information, hyperlinks to subsidiaries, historical and current stock price charts, UAT news, events, latest product innovations and an employment portal accessing job opportunities.
When asked about the design differences between the old and new website design, why it was important to redesign the site and how the new site represented UAT, Mr. Umbra responded, "We are first and foremost a technology company and as technology must evolve we must evolve as well. Uncompromising in its precise design and performance, it is more accurate, more efficient and more dynamic. A clearer representation of who we are as a company and what our capabilities are among the market segments we operate. We are introducing a new way to interact with our company's online presence in a way that is more inclusive of all who have an interest in UAT."
Visitors to the new site can stay informed with the latest UAT and industry news by signing up for the UAT newsletter or clicking on the company's social media links. The newsletter will contain richer online content such as press releases, featured products, shareholder information and company news.
Additionally, UAT has been working tirelessly behind the scenes developing multiple new products and verticals that are expected to launch in the near future. The company believes the new product pipelines under development will bring significant value to all UAT shareholders.

Read my mind.
I remember that run to .07 as well. I've been in for 18 months myself. This company that has kept my attention all that time. Yes, PR has been light, but there is a reason - I believe that.
My bad meant T-Trade.
Nice volume and close, but large sell AH. Opening at .0056. <sigh>
Sure am curious what the next PR will include. I'm not throwing in the white towel just yet though.

UAT Group Announces Improved Employee Benefits - 4/10/2017
Umbra Applied Technologies Group, Inc. announced its new employee benefits package today outlining a comprehensive package that includes health and wellness, medical, dental, vision, paid time off (PTO) and a 401(k)-retirement savings plan.
When asked why UAT Group is launching their benefits package nine months ahead of the Previously announced 2018 launch, Chief Executive Officer, Alex Umbra replied, "UAT Group is looking to bolster its focus on corporate culture and work environment by offering a competitive benefits package with unique incentive programs and rewards, not just for the individual team member but for project teams as a collective. UAT Group takes a 'family all in' approach to management that Mr. Umbra explained this way "I believe that if a company demonstrates its genuine concern for its team then the team in turn will reciprocate. Thus far, this ethos has served the company well as evident in our employee retention rate."
UAT Group employees will have up to 10 days' paid leave to grieve an immediate family member, up to 5 days to grieve an extended family member, and will be able to take up to four weeks of paid leave to care for a sick relative. Umbra stated, "We have also implemented a paid family sick time of three days to take care of a family member with a short-term illness such as a parent caring for a child with a cold."
UAT Group as a whole currently offers ten weeks of paid leave for new parents, to include both mother and father. Considering that the U.S. consistently ranks in the bottom of paid parental leave, this policy positions the company at the forefront of leading companies seeking to improve industry standards and corporate culture in America.
The small defense company's focus on its employees and corporate longevity becomes more apparent when considering its ambitious intentions to further expand benefits to include Short-term and long-term disability, basic life insurance, supplemental life insurance, personal accident insurance, company pension plan, additional retirement and savings programs, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Educational Assistance Program, Employee Assistance Program, Employee discount programs and currently under final review an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP); a company-funded plan that allocates stock to retirement accounts for eligible employees at the end of each fiscal year. The company's CFO, Thomas L. Crom III, explained, "While benefit plans can be a key element in attracting and retaining talented employees, at UAT Group it is more than that. We believe that if someone is going to commit much of their time to this company then we owe it to them to not just show appreciation for their commitment but we should do everything we can as a company to care for them as they do us. We are very much a family here at Group."
While UAT Group is not currently hiring, they intend to begin adding additional "teammates", as management refers to them, later this year. Hiring should prove to be easy considering the employee benefits and the fact that on average the company receives 2-3 resumes a week.
All things considered, UAT Group's aggressive progress seems to indicate that the company is well positioned to meet both its long-term and short-term objectives positioning this U.S. Defense firm as an industry contender.

UATG Shareholder Letter 3/31/2017
March 31, 2017 UATG Shareholders
Re: Umbra Applied Technologies
Umbra Applied Technologies Group
Fellow Shareholders,
It is an exciting time here at UAT Group and across our servicing market segments, particularly within the biotech industry. Admittedly the biotech industry still has not completely recovered from the volatility of 2016 however, there has been a strong resurgence through-out the market place. The immuno-therapy market segment looks to be exploding, with several cancer vaccines entering clinical trials and some nearing commercialization. PD-1 inhibitors are starting to be approved for treating various cancers and with companies like Sarepta Therapeutics, UniQure and United Therapeutics making significant advancements, the market has a pretty good start. Gene therapies are also getting closer to market with, Spark Therapeutics potentially having the first treatment approved in the United States as soon as next year and the gene editing technique CRISPR-Cas 9 has begun human trials.
I expect to see more of this in 2017 as the market sector returns to the fundamentals of mergers and acquisitions with the strength of clinical data being the fundamental catalyst. While many analysts caution that the relative performance of the sector is made largely due to the binary nature of biotechnology holdings I would also add that as a whole I predict the sector to outperform initial 2017 projections based on current trends in corporate growth strategies.
Umbra Applied Technologies is well suited and positioned to capitalize on a burgeoning market segment.
This holds true for UAT Group in that we are well positioned within the medical device segment that has seen little to no innovations over the past 48 months yet has seen significant growth. Up to one third of medical device companies reported sales increases of 10% or more over the last year with many medical device companies expecting more growth from established markets in the US and Europe than in developing markets in 2017.
Regulatory changes continue to represent the biggest business challenge for most of us in this market segment however a recent survey of more than 3,000 medical device industry participants found a renewed focus among companies in US and European markets, as well as more bearish expectations for BRIC markets and greater challenges addressing regulatory compliance. More than 20% of the survey respondents reported sales increases of 15% or higher last year, and nearly 30% of firms reported
First Quarter Status
increases of between 6% and 10%. The highest percentages of sales increases came from smaller firms— 34% of firms with nine or fewer employees and 31% of firms with fifty or fewer employees grew sales by 15% or more. Larger respondents with two hundred fifty or more employees indicated more modest sales growth of 10% or less. This bodes well for UAT Group both as a small company and an industry leader in innovation.
Another significant indicator within the global medical device market is that positive growth expectations for the US jumped 9% between 2016 (51% of respondents) and 2017 (60%), while such expectations for Europe increased from 40% in 2016 to 51%. This leaves UATG well positioned to capitalize on a segment movement that previously was otherwise turbulent and unpredictable.
At UAT Group we believe that medical devices are beginning to capture major market share and it appears so do many other companies. We predicted this and prepared for it by creating a pipeline of innovative products to be released during the second quarter of 2017. The medical device industry has been rapidly changing, and is very dynamic. Through the rise of bioelectronics and medical technology more generally, pharmaceutical partnerships, and an increased emphasis on collaborative care, medical device manufacturers are clearing a space for themselves in the future of medicine. Pharmaceutical companies are looking for synergistic relationships that enhance their product and give their product a competitive edge in the market. It is why you see companies like Pfizer or Roche developing mobile apps to accompany their drugs and it is why GlaxoSmithKline has recently partnered with Google.
The $3.2-trillion healthcare industry is set to go through a big shift in 2017, and the medical device sector is at the heart of this transition.
The biotech transaction market appears to be robust, and we intend to be an active participant, both as a potential buyer of Intellectual property and a potential retailer within the global biotech market segment. Our improving balance sheet is an important enabler in that regard to which we seek constant bolstering of our asset base and cash position.
We continue to make progress with our evolving balance sheet which we feel will provide us with a strong liquidity position allowing us to thoughtfully pursue our growth objectives while returning capital to shareholders. We believe this is a key competitive advantage as we head into a period where we expect to see increasing acquisition opportunities.
Additionally, we have revamped our internal corporate mechanisms to not only better serve our employees, build shareholder value but also to be as efficient as possible when serving our future customers. We have become more efficient by outsourcing payroll and employee health benefits to a top U.S. based firm at a reduced cost of what previously was an internal expense freeing up capital to be allocated where needed.
We are currently in the process of completing a capital infusion of $250,000.00 with April beginning the launch of a $5,000,000 raise in support of corporate expansion, product manufacturing and up-listing to a senior exchange. Accompanying capital raises will be a robust marketing campaign supporting the delivery of a pipeline of products beginning with the Aegis fixation pin to include the delivery of the ClearView wrist fixator later this year. In support of this initiative I have, for the first time, granted several scheduled interviews and the company will be releasing several videos on our products, manufacturing processes as well as offering a glimpse into what is on the horizon here UAT Group. I think you will be just as excited and encouraged as I am, by seeing what our Applied Sciences Division (ASD) has been working on.
I look forward to my next letter updating you on our progress and how far we have come since first beginning this journey almost five years ago. I will be releasing another podcast in the coming weeks outlining advances and perhaps a few surprises so be sure to update your official UAT Group app and watch for UATG alerts so you can listen to the podcasts to come. If you do not yet have the UAT Group app, it is available at the Apple App Store and Google Play under “UAT Group”.
