• The Company continued to expand the range of satellite-enabled devices offered for sale to consumers through signed Distributor Agreements with leading suppliers of Personal Locator Beacons (PLB's) and Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRBs). These new products are GPS-enabled rescue beacons that when activated, broadcast the users' location to Search and Rescue services during an emergency making them an ideal addition to the Company's existing range of satellite-enabled communication and emergency messenger devices.
• At the end of Q2, the Company's subsidiary GTCL launched a new mobile friendly website in June of 2016, which has been positively impacting website sales year-to-date.

"The second quarter of 2016 was impacted by the expected seasonality of sales, as well as the dramatic events occurring in the UK which affected pricing and profitability due to significant volatility in global currencies. We are pleased with the operating trends in the business despite these events and remain optimistic about the early performance of newly launched Asian markets. The Company will continue to execute on its growth plan as supported by an improved balance sheet and cash flows, following the elimination of the Company's outstanding long-term debt," said David Phipps, Chief Executive Officer of Orbital Tracking Corp. "Entering the third quarter, as the conditions in the UK, Europe and world currency markets have stabilized, we are already witnessing a return to normalized growth across our global footprint. Our long-term plans for the business remain on track and we remain committed to capitalizing on the continued global demand for satellite communications services and to delivering the financial returns our business model is capable of generating."
