Xplore Fulfills Initial $1.3M Order to Enable World’s First Android™ Tablet-Based Vehicle Safety and Emissions System
AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xplore Technologies Corp. (XPLR) today announced that it has fulfilled an initial $1.3 million order for its XSLATE D10 tablet PCs and is in the process of deploying them as part of the first rugged tablet-based vehicle safety and emissions system ever built for a public or private-sector emissions safety program. The completely mobile system, which is also the first to leverage an Android™ device, exclusively relies on Xplore XSLATE D10 fully rugged tablet PCs to power the field and back-office workflows of vehicle safety and emissions programs across the United States.
By April, inspection stations will be equipped with the D10-powered system in the first statewide deployment of this transformative new Automated Vehicle safety and emissions Program, which was engineered – and is being implemented – in cooperation with North America’s largest provider of decentralized and hybrid inspection program services. In addition, State Patrol officers will be utilizing the D10 rugged tablets to conduct their routine audits of the inspection stations and ensure compliance with government-mandated vehicle safety testing practices.

Xplore Rugged Tablets Become First Mobile PC Platform to Improve Beer Delivery Process for Largest Distributor in Caribbean
AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xplore Technologies Corp.? (XPLR), manufacturer of the world’s most complete line of high quality rugged tablet computers, today announced that the largest beer distributor in the Caribbean has begun using Motion F5m by Xplore rugged tablets to track and schedule beer shipments among its 600 delivery trucks in the Dominican Republic. The company is also using F5m tablets to run an inventory control management application on its bottling lines and storage areas for the 20 brands it sells on behalf of its parent company, which is currently the largest beer distributor in Latin America and the fifth largest beer distributor in the world.
The Caribbean beer distributor, with the support of its parent company, first conducted a 30-day trial period to evaluate the performance of several manufacturers’ rugged tablet and handheld PC platforms across a series of distribution system workflows. Not only did the 10.4” F5m tablet meet the customer’s mandatory computer specifications – such as portability; a resilient, outdoor-viewable display; built-in barcode reader; and hot-swappable batteries – but it exceeded all rugged durability and connectivity technical requirements.
As a result, the parent company placed an order for F5m rugged tablets, along with carrying cases, extra batteries, and multi-bay chargers. Within just 60 days, their investment in Xplore’s solution delivered a 60 percent overall efficiency improvement across the Caribbean distributor’s six regional depots: Simply because they used the F5m tablets to automate the work order process and access real-time data shared between the trucks and the distribution centers.

XLRT NEWS! Xplore Receives Additional $3.5 Million Order from Major Utility Follows $14 Million Order Announced in November 2011
9:05a ET February 16, 2012 (Business Wire)
Xplore Technologies Corp. (OTCQB:XLRT) ("Xplore" or the "Company"), a manufacturer of award-winning rugged tablet PCs, announced today it has received a follow-on $3.5 million order from the major utility that previously ordered $14 million of Xplore's iX104C5 rugged tablet computers, as announced last November. The new order consists of C5 rugged tablet computers and the Company's xStands, a versatile desktop docking solution ideally suited for use in a variety of office environments.
Mark Holleran, President and Chief Operating Officer of Xplore said, "As expected, the initial order of C5 rugged tablets opened the door for additional sales opportunities at this Fortune 50 company. We believe that our willingness to listen to this customer, and to develop a superior rugged mobile solution that met its needs, was the key to securing this follow-on order and to our emerging success with our C5 line. Working directly with our customers and incorporating their feedback into the design of our computers has enabled us to produce what we believe is the best rugged PC available and a product that is rapidly gaining acceptance in the marketplace."
Philip Sassower, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, of Xplore Technologies stated: "This second order is a very strong affirmation of our belief that we have built the best-in-class feature set for our new C5 line of rugged tablets and that the tablet form factor is gaining market share. While, in the past, the tablet was perceived as a novel device, we believe it has now become culturally accepted, and represents a more rugged alternative than notebooks for in-field applications and extreme conditions. We believe that we will continue to see increased acceptance of our products in the industries that we target."
The order is anticipated to be delivered over the next several quarters.

I found out about this company yesterday and after doing a great amount of DD I've come to the conclusion that Xplore Technologies is probably the most underrated company out there right now. With revenues in the multi millions and a huge amount of growth potential, this stock should be trading far north of where it is at right now. The PR yesterday about the $14 million sale to a utility company proves this company is the real deal and is expanding. Once this sale commences, it will be the largest sale to date by Xplore. It is a good sign that their products are well liked and that hopefully more companies will hop on board and order Xplore's products.
I'm guessing that the stock price is trading where it is now for the reason that they have only occurred net losses in previous year end reports, due to the heavy amount of research and development costs. However, with this $14 million sale, they should become profitable and can, in my opinion, became a consistently profitable company in the future.
I'm looking to take a starter position here right now and am hoping for big things to come from Xplore! What are other's opinions about this stock and growth potential?

Xplore Technologies iX104C5
Xplore seeks to extend tablet mania into the field with 5th generation ultra-rugged product
(by Conrad H. Blickenstorfer, with most photography by Carol Cotton)
Xplore Technologies Corp. of Austin, Texas has been making rugged tablet computers for about 15 years and they have sold about 100,000 of them, first the GeneSys line and then, since 2003, the iX104. This is a comprehensive review of the 5th generation of their flagship product, the iX104C5.
While tens of millions are now using sleek and elegant media tablets and analysts are predicting massive growth in the tablet market over the next several years, Xplore has always viewed tablets as serious tools for demanding jobs. That included making them tough enough to hold up under extreme conditions, and useful enough to bring true value to applications in such vertical markets as field service, law enforcement, fire/EMS, manufacturing, warehousing, military, transportation/distribution, utility/energy and wherever a tablet was a better choice than a laptop.
In the process, Xplore became one of the most innovative players in the ultra-rugged mobile computer field, pioneering such concepts as modular expansion pods, dual mode digitizers, and truly outdoor-viewable displays. It's now Xplore's hope that as demand for tablets is surging, so too will the need for rugged mobility solutions with technology advances that allow greater reach into extreme environments. To that extent, Xplore introduced the fifth generation iX104 line of ultra-rugged tablet computers in May of 2011.

Is this UNDERVALUED......or what?
Xplore Reports FY 2011 Annual Results
Xplore Techs Corp (de) (QB) (USOTC:XLRT)
Intraday Stock Chart
Friday 24 June 2011
Xplore Technologies Corp. (OTCMarkets.com - XLRT), a manufacturer of award-winning rugged tablet PCs, today reported revenue of $17,759,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $21,940,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of approximately 19 percent.
Mark Holleran, President and Chief Operating Officer of Xplore said, “The decrease in revenue is attributable to a decrease in unit sales of approximately 15 percent and an additional decrease of approximately 6 percent in our average selling prices, due to product mix changes.” Mr. Holleran added that the delay in the launch of the company’s iX104C5 product family to fiscal 2012 resulted in “many of our customers delaying their orders until our new product line was available.”
Holleran noted that the initial response to the launch of the iX104C5 has been good, although he cautioned that the selling effort commenced late in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the selling cycle is such that expected revenue from the product launch should only begin to be fully reflected in the second half of fiscal 2012 (which would be the quarters ending in December 2011 and March 2012). “We are seeing a definite increase in interest for the new line among our existing customers and new customers,” Holleran affirmed.
Total gross profit decreased by $342,000 to $5,421,000, or 30.5 percent of revenue, compared to gross profit the previous year of $5,763,000, or 26.3 percent of revenue. The decrease in gross profit was attributable to the decrease in revenue and unit sales while the increase in gross profit percentage for the year, as compared to the prior year, was due to a more favorable product mix.
Operating expenses for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $8,032,000 compared to $8,575,000, a decrease of approximately six percent. Research, development and engineering costs were reduced by approximately 24 percent as activities focused exclusively on the development of the new iX104C5 line of tablet computers. In addition, sales, marketing and support expenses increased 14 percent as the company prepared for the launch of the new product line in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. General administration expenses of $2,974,000 for fiscal 2011 were also reduced in fiscal 2011 by approximately eight percent from the $3,248,000 recorded in fiscal 2010.
The company’s net loss for the year ended March 31, 2011 was $6,389,000, or $0.04 per common share, compared to a net loss of $5,569,000, or $0.05 per common share, for the year ended March 31, 2010.
Additional financial information regarding Xplore’s operating results for fiscal 2011 is available in the company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is available at www.sec.gov.

XLRT ~ More Than $14 Million in Orders
XPLORE Receives More Than $14 Million in C5 Purchase Orders from Major Utility
Xplore Technologies Corp. (OTCQB: XLRT) (“Xplore” or the “Company”), a manufacturer of award-winning rugged tablet PCs, announced today that it has received purchase orders from one of the world’s largest utility companies for the purchase of more than 4,000 of the Company’s newly launched iX104C5 rugged tablet PCs, representing over $14 million in aggregate sales orders. These C5 tablets are expected to be delivered during the first half of calendar 2012 and will be used to improve the productivity of the customer’s field service operations.
“We believe an order of this magnitude is a watershed event for Xplore and indicates the superiority of Xplore’s fully rugged C5 tablet computer,” stated Philip Sassower, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe the best-in-class feature set of our new C5 tablet clearly differentiated Xplore from the rest of the competition in securing this order. Further, we believe that our family of offerings continues to favorably position Xplore to serve the expanding global rugged tablet PC market.”
Mark Holleran, President and Chief Operating Officer, said “Winning this order, the largest in our history, demonstrates Xplore’s ability to listen to the marketplace and develop superior rugged mobile solutions. We took direct input from a Fortune 50 company that understands the demands of rugged working environments and incorporated their feedback into the design of our new C5, resulting in what we believe is the best rugged PC available. The customer’s needs for its field service technicians were clear: maximize technician up-time in the field; communicate in real-time with their supervisors; order parts without returning to the depot; and update records, all in the most extreme working conditions. The C5 exceeded the customer’s expectations.”
Holleran added “we are very excited and extremely pleased with this new relationship. Prior to the receipt of the new orders, we have shipped approximately $1 million of product related to the test pilot program and another separate program initiative. We believe there are other significant opportunities for this customer that our C5 rugged tablet PC will be well-suited to address.”
