AppTech and Super Star Learning Sign Letter of Intent for AppTech to Acquire Super Star Learning

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, May 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AppTech Corp (Pink Sheets: APCX) announced today that it has entered into a letter of intent (LOI) to acquire Super Star Learning Corp of San Clemente, California. Eric Ottens, CEO of AppTech Corp commented: "Super Star and AppTech have been working together towards a union that we believe will have a dramatic impact on the world of education and of course by extension, our companies.  What is particularly attractive is that there is so much synergy between our two companies. Together we will make a significant contribution towards transforming education in the 21st century. We will take 'distance education' and offer it through smartphones and tablet computers."

• First to market with social achievement software with full integration to Facebook.
• Solid client base and excellent growth trajectory; revenue growth projected from $3.1 million in the first year to $20.2 million by the third year.
• Aggressive growth strategy targeting schools at the district, county and state level.
• Current revenue projection based on existing revenue stream exceeds $1.8 million.
• Software as a service model provides ongoing revenue streams and historical 85-90% renewal rates.
• High gross margins of 50% for product subscriptions and 70% for training.
• Current 9% market penetration in Hawaii that represents 6% greater results than expected in the test market launch.
• Successful management team with over 80 years of C-level experience with emerging companies and over 40 years in education technology.
• New pilot programs are underway at multiple sites in San Diego county and LA Unified school districts.

Completion of the Super Star acquisition is subject to numerous conditions including, and without limitation, further due diligence, final negotiations and completion of a definitive acquisition agreement.
