WOODINVILLE, WA, Aug. 15, 2012 /CNW/ - (MP:TSXV & MCTYF:OTC) - MicroPlanet Technology Corp. ("MicroPlanet" or the "Company") a provider of smart grid technology which significantly increases efficiency, quality, and conservation of electricity, today reported interim unaudited consolidated financial results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 (the "Quarter"). All dollar figures are reported in U.S. currency, unless otherwise stated.

"Subsequent to the quarter end MicroPlanet finally achieved CSA, EN, and UL certifications TUV SUD America Inc. for multiple models of its flagship category-changing product line. This is the culmination of several years' hard work by our dedicated staff and the continuing support of our stakeholders.  These certifications permit the installation of these units and open up market opportunities in North America, Europe, Australia and elsewhere," stated Brett Ironside, MicroPlanet President and CEO. "To achieve these certifications we had discontinued sales and distribution efforts of legacy pilot products in order to focus all our efforts on getting this new product suite certified and ready for commercial markets, and minimizing warranty and support liabilities for legacy or interim products."

Ironside continued, "With these initial certifications we have already re-focused our team on getting several of each of these new units assembled in a pre production run so that we can have several installed with targeted clients prior to year end. This product line will deliver on the key aspects of our value proposition - bi directionality, full data, improved power quality, and reduced costs; leading to testimonial sales in the coming quarters, followed by meaningful sales to these and additional customers thereafter."
