To Empower Developing Countries by Blockchain Technology, MetaBank Announces Strategic Solutions at Oxford

MetaBank

Singapore-based MetaBank made its debut at the Blockchain Education Summit and Digital Civilisation conference held at Oriel College in Oxford University on 28th March 2023. MetaBank's CEO and COO shared the company's mission and latest case studies in Lao PDR. The company's core focus is to help developing countries transition to blockchain and digital civilisation, aiming to empower individuals and businesses worldwide. Founded by a team of bankers, lawyers, and researchers, MetaBank is committed to shaping the world by leveraging blockchain technology, particularly for developing countries in Asia. Developing countries in Southeast Asia, such as Lao PDR and Cambodia, have a lower economic development rate and poor infrastructure that have put their famous cultural heritage, such as Angkor Wat and the town of Luang Prabang, at risk. By applying blockchain technology, MetaBank aims to bring greater economic growth, helping these countries to achieve leapfrog development. MetaBank has developed innovative strategic solutions centred around blockchain technology, featuring three core pillars aimed at revolutionising the digital space. The first of these pillars is Digital Financial Inclusion, prioritising the provision of digital financial services to everyone, regardless of their income, social status, or location. Secondly, the Sustainable Digitisation pillar advocates for the fair and sustainable use of digital technologies to promote environmental responsibility and equitable access. The third pillar, the Digital Trust Ecosystem, prioritises secure and trustworthy digital interactions through cutting-edge technologies, policies, and practices. Blockchain technology is integral to achieving these objectives and enables improvements in digital identity, supply chain management, public services, transparency, and corruption reduction. MetaBank also uses blockchain technology to promote cultural heritage preservation and economic exchange through NFTs. Frank Sui, founder and CEO of the company, said, "I founded MetaBank to help eradicate poverty and give everyone a chance to live a better life." As an exclusive strategic partner for the Lao PDR government, MetaBank operates a national-level digital transformation project, using blockchain-powered digital assets as a viable solution to preserve the heritage of Buddhism in Lao PDR. LaoBuddhist.DAO will use NFTs to digitally promote Lao Buddhist culture around the world, create digital economic income, and increase foreign exchange reserves. The Luang Prabang Token (LPT) was issued based on the Lao national blockchain technology to improve the tourist experience by providing simple and convenient payment methods, thus preserving the national cultural heritage while promoting local economic development. MetaBank's ultimate mission is to provide financial services to those who are unbanked or underbanked. By using blockchain-based systems, local people can access financial services without needing a bank account. These projects allow people in developing countries who lack access to traditional banking systems to engage in economic activity and participate in the global economy. MetaBank's innovative solutions are set to shape the future of digital transformation and empower individuals and businesses worldwide. About MetaBank MetaBank is a company that is focused on driving digital inclusion and accelerating the transition to a digital civilisation. The company leverages blockchain technology to provide innovative solutions and financial services, particularly in developing countries in Asia.

The company will host an investor call on Monday, April 10 th at 4:00 PM EST. Investor Earnings Call Details Date/Time: Monday, April 10th at 4:00 pm EST Dial-in Number: 1-833-630-0019 (domestic) or 1-412-317-1807 (international) Online Replay/Transcript: Audio file and call transcript will be posted to AmpliTech’s news page when available. Investor Questions: May be submitted to investors @amplitechgroup.com prior to or during the call Full Year 2022 Highlights Revenue increased 267% to $19,394,000 in FY’22 compared to $5,275,000 in FY’21. FY’ 22 gross profit grew to $8,925,000, an almost 7-fold increase from FY’ 21 gross profit of $1,293,000. The gross profit margin increased by 2150 basis points to 46.0% compared to 24.5% a year ago. FY’22 net loss was $677,000 compared to a FY’21 net loss of $4,759,000, a positive swing of approximately $4.1 million. The net loss includes a one-time revenue earnout of approximately $816,000 as a result of Spectrum’s beating sales expectations for the years 2021 and 2022. It is important to note that without this earnout payment, the Company would have been profitable. As of December 31, 2022, cash and equivalents totaled $13,290,000 and working capital was $20,331,000, which is sufficient capital for AmpliTech to fund all of its strategic growth initiatives. AmpliTech experienced great success at trade shows such as Satellite 2022, IMS 2022, the AOC 2022, and the APS March Meeting 2022, achieving positive customer engagement and setting company records at each event for the number of meetings with new and existing customers. Customers have begun to sample AGMDC’s new MMIC chip products which have received very positive praise and feedback. Forward-Looking Update MMIC chips, or ICs, have been released to customers for testing and are expected to begin generating revenue in Q2 2023. Management expects sustained profitability going into 2023. Team is increasing sales exposure through enhanced strategic partnerships with sales representatives and distributors globally. Management Commentary Fawad Maqbool, Founder and CEO of AmpliTech, commented, “We are pleased to announce AmpliTech's annual results, with a remarkable 267% year-over-year increase in revenue. Our seamless integration of Spectrum Semiconductor and the successful launch of new initiatives, such as AGMDC’s industry leading LNAs in MMIC form and TGSS’s managed 5G system integration consulting service, demonstrate our unwavering commitment to innovation and growth. This is a continuation of our strategy to focus on increasing top-line revenue with high-margin products, which we are projecting will lead to increased bottom-line income later this year. Additionally, our industry-leading low noise amplifiers, now available in MMIC form, boast unparalleled signal-to-noise ratios, the central metric that defines the quality of an amplifier as well as the entire receiver. Our team’s relentless drive to solve engineering challenges underscores our dedication to providing cutting-edge technology to our clients. While we closely monitor the current economic situation, we are pleased to report that, at this time, we continue to have strong demand for our industry leading products. The gross profit margin’s impressive increase from 24.5% to 46.0% reflects our team’s efficiency and long-term planning strategy. As we celebrate these financial and operational milestones, we remain cognizant of the challenges posed by the lack of performant communication infrastructures. At AmpliTech, our mission is to empower companies to build the communications infrastructure that will fuel the future of technology – from AR/VR platforms and high-performance Quantum computing to 5G/6G networks providing satellite internet and beyond. Although there is still much work to be done across various industries - including satcom, telecom (5G), high-performance computing, defense, and aerospace - to achieve the connectivity speeds required by emerging technologies, we recognize the immense potential for innovation and are dedicated to developing solutions that address these challenges, enabling faster and more efficient communication systems. By continuously pushing the boundaries of communications technology, we aim to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of these industries and facilitating the realization of their full potential,” concluded Mr. Maqbool.

The global bakery product market size was $497.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to be $625.9 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% during the forecast period. The U.S. and the Chinese retail baked goods markets were the largest in the sector, being worth $67 billion and $34 billion respectively in 2020, while the Chinese market is forecasted to jump 53% to $53 billion by 2025.
