Amplitech Group, Inc. Files 10-K for FY2016

BOHEMIA, NY--(Marketwired - Mar 7, 2017) - Amplitech Group, Inc. (OTCQB: AMPG), a leader in state-of-the-art RF Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA) and Power Amplifiers (PA) for the Domestic and International, SATCOM, Space, and Military markets, today announced filing of their FY2016 10-K. The Company continued its growth and met its planned revenues in excess of $2 million setting a record for the company. In the previous press release of January 2017, the figures were inadvertently reported as those of AMPG (AmpliTech Group, Inc.), when in fact they were referring to AMPG's sole subsidiary, AmpliTech, Inc. The Company disclosed that the error was due to the confusion associated with the similar names of the two entities. The parent company, AMPG, does not generate revenue but owns AmpliTech, Inc., which is the sole source of its revenue. Although the two operate essentially as one company, the difference in the financials is evident. This is due to the fact that the parent company accounts for the expenses generated to maintain its fully reporting public status, thus leading to the offset in the consolidated financials. The reporting was merely an oversight and purely unintentional. Another unexpected expense that had to be accounted for in the fourth quarter was the tax liability for 2016. The Company had NOL carryovers from previous years that could not be used as planned. Notwithstanding the unexpected issues mentioned, the Company still had an outstanding year of profit and revenue. Below are some highlights of 2016:

• Record revenues of over $2 million. A 37% increase from prior year
