AVT, Inc. Patent Application Published

- New Analyst Report Puts Price Per Share in $1.50 Range

CORONA, Calif., July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AVT, Inc. (formerly Automated Vending Technologies), (Pink Sheets: AVTC - News) today announced that a new research report by IPOdesktop.com and analyst Francis Gaskins concludes that the company has a potential market capitalization of $34 million, or a price per share in the $1.50 range.

The report places a value of $15 million on AVT's current patent-pending intellectual property portfolio which, the report said, will help the company "create a leadership, defining role in the high tech product dispensing market." The IPOdesktop.com report said it believes that the current market valuation does not fully account for advances made in AVT's intellectual property portfolio.

"The self service retailing market is forecast to grow exponentially," the report said. "In the emerging automated retailing market for 'product dispensing' solutions, we believe AVT is a low price, high quality leader, offering technology solutions at 50 percent less than the best known competitors."

The report also states that AVT has been notified by the U.S. Patent Office on the publication of the patent application for "System and Method for Interactive Advertising."

"Using a portfolio of unique, proprietary intellectual property, AVT is creating a new industry," said James Winsor, CEO. "From gas station pumps to electronic billboards, consumers are now used to seeing digital signage. AVT's intellectual property portfolio enables the digital signage to become truly interactive at the local, product dispensing level."

"Our patent-pending technology enables product dispensing machines to become interactive 'hot spots' that consumers can access by cell phone texting and consumers can be instantly rewarded with discounts or promotions. Large, branded consumer product companies can increase sales and profits by implementing customized, targeted advertising campaigns at the point of service," Mr. Winsor explains.

"This is why we believe AVT's portfolio of patent-pending intellectual property provides a core enterprise value that we expect to increase as corporate objectives are achieved," Mr. Gaskins said.
