New analyst report price target, $1.50 for AVTC.PK
A new AVTC.PK 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.

Automated Retailing -- an overview
AUTOMATED RETAILING – an overview
unique & disruptive like online shopping
According to some industry analysts ‘automated retailing’ is likely to change the way the world engages with consumers.‘Online shopping’ changed consumer interactions. That change was driven by industry powerhouses such as Amazon, eBay, Craigslist & others, all of which became very big in terms of shareholder value.
MIDDLEMEN CUT OUT
Disruptive intermediation
‘Online shopping’ cut out several layers of middlemen almost to the point where it seems like there is nothing between the producer and consumer. An investment strategist at Invesco, believes this trend will only accelerate and consumers will increasingly buy high-end items at automated retail product dispensing (vending) machines without thinking twice about it, just like we all now buy soda and snacks. Investco is one of the one of the largest independent global investment managers.
THE AUTOMATED FUTURE
With automated retailing consumers enjoy the combined ease of online shopping with the convenience of immediate product delivery. Manufacturers & distributors place their products directly in the path of consumers in an intensely interactive manner, removed from the competitive clutter of traditional retail.
