Friday, January 27th, 2012

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 26, 2012 (CRWENEWSWIRE) — 1st Detect Corporation, a subsidiary of Astrotech Corporation (Nasdaq:ASTC), is pleased to announce the delivery of pre-production mini-mass spectrometers to select customers for evaluation.

“After years of development, we are very proud to have leading analytical equipment vendors evaluating our mini-mass spectrometer,” said Thomas B. Pickens III, Chairman of 1st Detect. “We believe 1st Detect’s mini-mass spectrometer technology represents a breakthrough by delivering performance comparable to large laboratory mass spectrometers in a small and affordable instrument that can reach many applications that were never before possible. This is a major development milestone as 1st Detect is now transforming from its R&D phase to a market driven, commercially focused business enterprise.”

The 1st Detect mini-mass spectrometer technology is capable of detecting trace levels of volatile compounds and has been developed for the security, industrial and research laboratory markets. We believe the technology platform is ideally suited for these applications, having been designed to provide highly accurate and rapid analysis and detection of very low concentrations of chemical compounds.

“I am extremely excited about the technology breakthroughs the 1st Detect team has innovated,” added Mr. Pickens. “Our talented R&D team has spent years developing what we consider to be the best performing miniature mass spectrometer available. This product fulfills an unmet need in the chemical detection market by providing a true mini-mass spectrometer that is superior to the widely adopted ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) products.”

The 1st Detect proprietary mini-mass spectrometry technology provides a broad and versatile platform that we plan to integrate with follow-on products optimized for the security and industrial markets including airports, border crossings, law enforcement, military uses, agricultural processing, refineries, chemical plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing, process control, water and wastewater treatment facilities.

“This quarter’s results demonstrate the durability of our business model in a wide range of operating environments and the importance of having a clear business strategy,” said Paul H. Stebbins, chairman and chief executive officer of World Fuel Services Corporation. “Our investments in people, process and technology, as well as our continued focus on risk management and execution have served us well and we are excited about the prospects for further expansion.”

“The record earnings posted this quarter are a testament to our ability to develop the business through both organic and strategic investment initiatives,” stated Michael J. Kasbar, president and chief operating officer.

The company also announced today that it has obtained a new $250 million five-year term loan, amended and restated its existing $800 million credit facility and extended the maturity date of the facility to 2016. Combined, these facilities represent $1.05 billion of committed financing.

This press release includes selected financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). This information includes non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share.

In addition, our presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share may not be comparable to the presentation of such metrics by other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

PTS, Inc. (PTSH.OB)

Following several queries from the investment community, PTSH explains the relationship with ThinLine and addresses its “70% ownership”. Raj Kalra, CEO of PTSH explains, “PTSH purchased my 70% ownership of ThinLine in a Share Exchange Agreement last week. In exchange of my 70% ownership I received restricted shares of PTSH stock. ThinLine has two owners, PTSH (70%) and a second party (30%). ThinLine is a subsidiary of PTSH, owning 70% therefore shall receive 70% of the profits. In respect to why the deal won’t close until December 31, 2010 is due to two factors: 1) ThinLine has approx 70 days to complete SEC audits and; 2) PTSH has its year end 12/31/10, and it makes for easier accounting. For all intensive purposes it is business as usual for PTSH and ThinLine since the merger.

PTSH intends to acquire undervalued businesses and/or merge with businesses with a history of operating revenues. Prior to February 23, 2010, PTSH engaged in the provision of accessibility compliance consulting services to government, school districts, and municipalities and other public entities, as well as to retail, commercial, recreational, and corporate customers.
