DPW Reports 77% Growth in Revenue for 2017 3rd Quarter

Company Revenues Exceeded $3.2M with Growth in Sequential Quarters; Assets Increased to Over $18M

FREMONT, Calif., Nov. 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digital Power Corporation (NYSE AMERICAN:DPW) ("Digital Power" or the "Company"), a company seeking to increase revenues through acquisitions and organic growth, announced today that gross revenues on a consolidated basis for its 2017 third quarter exceeded $3.2M, marking 77% growth in sequential quarters for 2017. The Company also stated its total assets exceeded $18M, up 310% from the quarter ending September 30, 2016, as stated in its Form 10-Q report filed on Monday, November 20, 2017, after the close of market, with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company noted that it anticipated the prior sequential quarter of 2017 would be 'its bottom of its revenue decline' and believes that the financial results of the third quarter confirm that prediction.

The increase in gross revenues was attributable to several factors ranging from the inclusion of the first revenues from the manufacturing of machines that use the proprietary MSLE(R) technology to fulfill the $50M purchase order issued on March 15, 2017 from MTIX, Ltd. to the full inclusion of revenues from the acquisitions of Microphase Corporation and Power-Plus Technical Distributors to partial fulfillment of back orders which currently amount to approximately $63M, down from the previous balance of $65M. The Company noted that its backlog of orders is anticipated to increase due to pending contracts during the fourth quarter.

The Company disclosed during its investor conference call held after the close of market on November 20, 2017 that it is pursuing the purchase of the 44% minority interest in Microphase Corporation that it doesn't own. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to complete successfully negotiations with the minority shareholders.

Milton "Todd" Ault, III, the Company's Executive Chairman said, "During the past 12 months, the Company has kept its word to its shareholders and partners. With that said, we plan to be active in the M&A space at the subsidiary level and will continue to invest in MTIX, Ltd. through Avalanche International Corp, its parent company. I am proud of the team and we have a lot more to deliver."

The Company listed numerous achievements by its operating subsidiaries:

Microphase Corporation:

-- New orders from Lockheed Martin, the United States Air Force, BAE and

SAAB.; and

-- Had an increase in sequential quarter to quarter gross revenue.

Digital Power Lending:

-- Company made new loans in the Hospitality and Life Sciences sectors; and

-- Is nearing completion of the process to acquire a California Lenders

License.

Coolisys Technologies:

-- Company completed its acquisition of Power-Plus Technical Distributors;

and

-- Company is reorganizing as an advanced technology services company with

the following subsidiaries by the end of 2017:

-- Digital Power Ltd. (Gresham Power Electronics);

-- Digital Power Corporation;

-- Power-Plus Technical Distributors;

-- Microphase Corporation

The Company disclosed that it expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and needs to raise additional capital to continue its business development initiatives and to support its working capital requirements, especially in conjunction with the manufacturing of machines for MTIX, Ltd. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the fair value of the Company's investments were $3,782,000 and $1,036,000 respectively, and were concentrated in debt and equity securities of Avalanche International Corp., a related party, which are classified as available-for-sale investments.

The Company urges shareholders and others to read all of its public filings including its recent 10-Q report for more information which are available on the Company's web site, www.DigitalPowerCorp.com or at www.SEC.gov. Shareholders and investors are invited to listen to the investor call which was recorded in its entirety and is available for listening by following this link, http://www.digitalpowercorp.com/investor-earnings-conference-11-20-2017-audio-replay/.

DPW's Subsidiary Coolisys Technologies Unveils Its First Cryptocurrency Hardware

Targets Popular Antminer Model S9 to Launch Power Product Line for Digital Miners

FREMONT, Calif., Dec 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) --

Digital Power Corporation (nyse.american:DPW) ("Digital Power" or the "Company"), a company seeking to increase revenues through acquisitions and organic growth, announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Coolisys Technologies, Inc. ()Coolisys"), anticipates launching a line of advanced technology power systems for digital mining of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and the other top digital currencies worldwide. Both digital mining as an industry and cryptocurrency as an asset class have experienced exponential growth for the past 5 years. Leveraging the Company's 48 years of designing, manufacturing and receiving worldwide adoption of its highly efficient and durable power solutions and systems, Coolisys believes it is well positioned to resolve challenges with the cost and use of power for today's burgeoning digital mining community and adopt and implement other technological improvements.

Coolisys stated that the first miner AC-DC switching power supply being produced will be for use by the Antminer S9 model by Bitmain Masters and can now be pre-ordered. The very popular and highly regarded Antminer S9 was the world's first dedicated bitcoin miner using an application-specific integrated circuit, (commonly known as an 'ASIC'), based on the sixteen nanometer ("16nm") process on its system. Coolisys noted the new product line was a result of the agreement with PoW Digital Mining previously announced on August 10, 2017, which said 'PoW Digital Mining is to lead its development of an equipment and services portfolio targeting Digital Mining and related research and development of cryptocurrency. The active digital mining markets led by Bitcoin, Ethereum and the other 900+ digital currencies have created a budding hardware demand driving the need for efficient low-cost power solutions.' PoW Digital Mining affirmed that the top issue for most professionals and amateurs who actively mine Bitcoin, Litecoin and other cryptocurrencies is energy costs. Cryptocurrency mining of block-chain transactions is power-hungry. The most successful miners are those that get the highest hash rates out of their systems, at the lowest total cost. Since electricity is the biggest on-going cost of mining, it follows that maximizing the efficiency of the power supply is critical. Even with the smallest of efficiencies delivering notable savings, PoW Digital Mining reported that a new line of crypto-mining power solutions within a suite of products could be readily commercialized.

Amos Kohn, President and CEO of Coolisys Technologies and Digital Power Corporation stated, "We have a competitive advantage given our expertise in developing and providing advance power solutions for the tech, military, industrial and healthcare sectors. To power the AntMiner S9, we will utilize our field-proven platform, previously implemented to power cloud-based computing networks and servers, that employ highly-efficient power switching with fully synchronous rectification and advanced digital signal processing (DSP). Our power solutions are based on next-generation design and we believe are among the most technologically advanced power processing solutions available. We project our cryptocurrency initiatives and products could have a material effect on the Company's revenues and net income for this component of its operations during 2018. We look forward to presenting what we are developing."

"When we first met with the Digital Power in 2016 and were becoming familiar with its long history of manufacturing advanced power solutions, we recognized that the Company was underutilizing its technical knowledge base and product development capabilities. Our investment strategy included our looking forward to harnessing and leveraging these assets to provide a range of new product portfolios and expanding the Company's revenue streams. We look forward over the coming months that the marketplace will continue to appreciate the abilities and potential of DPW, its management and staff and its strategies to bring added-value to our shareholders," commented Milton "Todd" Ault, III, the Company's Executive Chairman.

Units may be pre-ordered at www.SuperCryptoPower.com with units shipping some time during the first quarter of 2018.


The Company reminds its shareholders, investors and the public it will issue an investor update before the opening of the market on the morning of December 7, 2017. Topics will include an update on revenue guidance for the quarter and 2018, a progress report on the cryptocurrency initiatives by Coolisys Technologies, advances made on the MTIX $50M purchase order and the advanced technology platform and an update on Digital Power Lending.
