SeeThruEquity Issues Update on Weyland Tech Inc.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / October 24, 2018 / SeeThruEquity, the leading independent equity research firm focused on smallcap and microcap public companies, today announced it has issued an update note on Weyland Tech Inc. (OTCQX: WEYL).

The report is available here: WEYL Update Note.

We are updating coverage of Weyland Tech Inc. (OTCQX: WEYL, ''Weyland'') following recent results and details related to the company's spin-off of its AtozPay unit. Founded in 2014, Weyland offers of mobile commerce enablement applications for small businesses and consumers, primarily in the Greater Southeast Asia (GSEA) market. The company has two business units: 1) CreateApp, which is a subscription-based, platform-as-a-service (''PAAS'') business that provides mobile commerce solutions for small and medium sized merchants; and 2) AtozPay, which is a mobile wallet that enables consumers and small merchants to process and store payments with their mobile device using a digital account. Weyland CEO Brent Suen finalized the AtozPay distribution declaring a special dividend to shareholders of record as of October 12, 2018. In our view, AtozPay appears to have the potential to create substantial value if it receives market multiples for a pure mobile commerce business in the Indonesian market. We view Weyland as an intriguing special situation in the technology sector, with what appears to be a defensible valuation on its core CreateApp platform business and significant potential for upside if it can execute its plans for rapid growth in its emerging mobile wallet business.

Highlights from the note include:
