Recent Moves Raise Value and De-Risks Opportunity. The ATDS CEO made the ultimate moves that demonstrate his 100% commitment to ATDS and its shareholders. Typically, these moves are rewarded with sustainable, higher stock prices. He personally entered into privately negotiated agreements on $2M in principal convertible notes which enhance capital structure and cash flow. Moreover, it aids working capital, and M&A. Plus, changes in a $1.7M note provides for further capital improvements. These events lift key overhangs on the stock and give ATDS favorable future flexibility.

Enviable Corporate Success Has Been Overlooked. ATDS offers what is the longest running DRM platform for mobile. Moreover, in its open source solution, ATDS boasts over 30,000 users---this number rivals and exceeds some of the leading companies in the space. Clearly, many are ripe for conversion to paying customers and thousands are trusted relationships a highly valuable and hidden asset. New cloud-based, multi-functional and integrated  offerings are slated to be introduced following a series of customer tests. This new integrated platform could generate $1500/mo/per customer seeking comprehensive data and privacy solutions.

ATDS Is Undervalued; Represents M&A Prospect. We project revenue could approach $1.8M for 2019 and possibly $5M in 2020—the first full year that its three acquisitions will generate revenue and organic growth is demonstrated.  This excludes potential 2H20 M&A. Based on these forecasts, ATDS is worth $1.15 today and $3.65 in a year based on current peer group valuations. Once additional M&A is executed, this target will likely have to be revised upward . In the meantime, ATDS is an attractive takeover candidate. It has a large open- source user base, broad customer base, and low relative industry valuation. An acquirer could buy ATDS and grab tech and market share for a fraction of the industry’s valuations. Thus, current prices represent an attractive entry point.
