Umbra Applied Technologies Groups Chairman Releases Semi-Annual Performance Letter

TAMPA, FL--(Marketwired - Aug 19, 2016) - Umbra Applied Technologies Group, Inc. (OTC: UATG), Chairman released a very candid semi-annual letter detailing improved performance and areas the company is focused on in its continuing commitment to becoming more efficient.

After observing decreased market share in Q4 2015, UATG's Chairman Alex Umbra revealed that, "In January, due to a highly volatile geopolitical climate and vicissitudinous market dynamics, we began to actively pursue areas of improvement and restructuring." When questioned about inefficiencies within the UATG organization Mr. Umbra replied, "A team is only as strong as its weakest members and I realized in December of 2014 that UATG needed a less encumbered chain of command that could focus on a more efficient business execution with an emphasis on identifying areas of improvement and cataloging transactional corporate operations. As a result, I had to make some tough choices but choices that ultimately proved to be, at least partially, in the best long term interest of the company. Of course it wasn't long before I realized that more needed to be done and ultimately, by March of this year, things came full circle and we were mostly back on track."

The released Chairmans letter referenced critical choices that have positioned UATG for sustainable growth, ameliorated market metrics and improved product market share; delivering notable advances in technology and brand identity. Mr. Umbra stated in his semi-annual letter, "Our performance and market position have yielded, to date, impressive improvements over key fundamentals and metrics delivering a path to strong returns for our shareholders. Through increased and progressive marketing strategies we have seen interest in the company more than double. Market liquidity has increased many multiples as evident in the more than 56,000% increase in trading volume since December of 2015 with an average daily volume increase of 21,000% in the same time period. While average share price has dropped since last year we have seen a more than 50% reduction in daily price slip and a 231% increase in daily dollar volume. Monthly trades executed on UATG have increased 655% with total dollars traded monthly between December 2015 and July 2016 increasing 314%."

The efforts and commitment of UATG's leadership is evident in the company's market improvements and with the announcement of its subsidiary UAT delivering the very much anticipated ClearView™ G2 in the coming months.
