Location Based Technologies, Inc. CEO Letter to Shareholders
IRVINE, CA. July 2, 2019 Location Based Technologies® Inc. (OTCIQ:LBAS) CEO, Dave Morse, has released
a letter to shareholders.
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
A highly valued principle for me, personally, says, “there is a season and a time to every purpose.”
Location Based Technologies, Inc. (LBT) is realizing the value of one of its early “purposes” built upon the
strategic intention to both reward our shareholders as well as to protect the growth and strength of the
company. Our shareholders are a unique blend in that many of you joined as the company launched
and then cheered as our stock rose to more than $1.20/share. More recently, there are many others
who have become shareholders while trading into our stock at less than a penny. Painful for some and
exciting for others. Yet, every one of us have the same desire: to be rewarded for the investment we
have made. One factor has never changed: all of LBT’s efforts, from the beginning, have been driven to
deliver on that desire.
LBT was an early entrant into the “location-based space/industry”. So much so that in time our name
became synonymous with the industry itself. As an early entrant, we encountered many technical
obstacles and challenges that made a portable GPS tracking system unusable by the mass market. Of the
three founders of the company - Desiree Mejia, Joe Scalisi and myself – Joe brought the unique ability to
see beyond existing technical limitations and the knowledge to figure out how to apply other technology
to minimize or overcome critical limitations. LBT’s goal, in those early days, was to bring GPS tracking
capability to the mass market for everyday family and business use. The company’s wise “purpose”
became a strategic decision to formally capture and file these innovative solutions and claim them as
our intellectual property (IP).
One specific area, supported by multiple patents, focuses upon an almost universal challenge that we all
deal with daily if you use battery operated electronics: the extension of battery life.
On Monday, July 1st, LBT IP I LLC filed a suit against Apple Inc. in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware claiming infringement by Apple of five of LBT’s early patents: U.S. Patent Nos.
8,497,774; 8,542,113; 8,102,256; 8,421,618; and 8,421,619. The infringing products, among other
products, include numerous Apple iPhone and iPad models. LBT IP I LLC is being represented, on a
contingency basis, by a highly reputable law firm, Butzel Long. Butzel Long attorneys have been
involved in major transactions in many industries since 1854 and have six offices throughout the United
States. The firm has vast experience in cutting edge issues involving the internet, patents, privacy, and
other related issues. This action represents the company’s first major step in monetization of its many
valuable patents and we are proud to work with the good people at Butzel Long who will help to deliver
value to the company and its shareholders through its agreement with LBT IP I LLC, which is wholly
owned by LBT IP LLC.
As part of the overall patent monetization strategy, on May 3, 2019, LBT sold its patents to LBT IP LLC, a
company owned by the Secured Creditors Group (SCG), in exchange for:
1) $5.4MM of debt which was used to repay secured debt;
2) a perpetual license to use all patents in LBT’s daily operations; and,
3) a cash flow sharing agreement wherein LBT IP LLC and LBT share all Net cash flows received
by the patent portfolio (i.e. after material legal and funding costs) consistent with the prior Loan
Agreement between the SCG and LBT. That essentially means that the LBT IP LLC and LBT split the first
$6MM in IP monetized revenue 50%/50% with the upfront revenues weighted more heavily to LBT in
order to fund the immediate operational requirements necessary to grow the company. In final stages
of cash flow sharing 80% of future patent cash flows will go to the LBT and 20% of the will go to the LBT
IP LLC.
Concurrent with this transaction, the SCG also converted $3.5MM of its secured debt to common shares
at $.05 (5 cents) per share. The net result of both transactions is that LBT retains 80% of received future
patent cash flows and immediately removed $13.5MM of Secured Debt from the balance sheet.
Operationally, our company’s growth continues to be constrained by its lack of marketing capital.
Thanks to our JV partner, Yepzon, and our patented backend, we continue to offer high value, state-ofthe-art products to our commercial and residential customers. Incoming IP funds will allow us to
add/update new features and capability into our End-User-Interface and to sustain our high quality,
highly secured network infrastructure along with the personal customer service for which we are
known. Our operating priorities remain ever focused upon profitable growth and shareholder value by
delivering valued service through best in class technology and human-to-human services.
We appreciate your ongoing support and I look forward to providing future updates.
Sincerely,
David M. Morse, PhD
