$FRSX Advanced Technology Attracts Investors

  • A leading importer of vehicles to Israel has signed with Foresight a non-binding MOU for the sale of the Eyes-On™ automotive vision system
  • $12.4 million in private placement agreements signed with leading Israeli institutional investors
  • Global advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) market expected to reach $67.43 billion by 2025, growing at 19 percent CAGR

A rising demand for advanced driver safety and assistance systems that help drivers control vehicles and avoid accidents is fueling a global market for technological innovations in an increasingly high growth market, according to multiple industry research reports. Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: FRSX) (TASE: FRSX), a technological innovator in automotive vision systems and driver assistance technology headquartered in Israel, has been developing, through wholly owned subsidiary Foresight Automotive Ltd., a powerful and mature proprietary stereoscopic technology that provides real-time information to prevent accidents. Foresight’s technology is derived from major shareholder Magna B.S.P.’s field-proven security technology, which has been deployed worldwide for almost two decades. The company’s patents provide IP protection for technology that’s designed to improve driving safety with highly accurate and reliable obstacle detection vision systems.

Foresight recently announced the signing of a non-binding MOU for the company’s unique stereoscopic Eyes-On™ system with a leading importer of vehicles to Israel. The non-binding memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with a direct importer of several leading vehicle manufacturers will see the installation of Eyes-On™ for aftermarket configuration – Foresight’s advanced driver assistance system (“ADAS”) – in several vehicle models (http://nnw.fm/rwQ2T) under a pilot program. The importer could potentially order 21,000 Eyes-On™ systems over three years, according to the agreement (http://nnw.fm/D3VGo) .

Foresight’s unique Eyes-On™ stereo vision ADAS employs advanced algorithms fr accurate depth analysis and obstacle detection. The Eyes-On system will detect all potential obstacles, including vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, animals and inanimate objects, at a high degree of accuracy. Stereo technology is an image processing concept which uses two synchronized cameras to mimic 3D human depth perception.

Foresight has developed three main products to date: QuadSight™, a breakthrough quad-camera vision system that sets the bar for autonomous vehicle vision; Eyes-On™, a unique stereo vision Advanced Driver Assistance System; and Eye-Net™, a cellular-based accident prevention solution designed to provide real-time pre-collision alerts to vehicles and pedestrians.

The company’s innovative automotive vision systems recently attracted private placement agreements from several leading Israeli institutional investors, including $5.5 million from Harel Insurance (http://nnw.fm/1U7qI), $4.1 million from Meitav Dash Group and $1.4 million from Psagot Investment House (http://nnw.fm/VB48v).

Grand View Research reports that the global ADAS market is expected to reach $67.43 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 19 percent. Several factors, including increasing levels of government initiatives for mandating driver assistance systems in order to lower road accidents, are contributing to this robust growth pattern, the report states (http://nnw.fm/7II0u).

In 2016, passenger cars accounted for more than a 72 percent share in the global ADAS market, Grand View Research reports. With the United States and the European Union mandating that automotive manufacturers fit ADAS systems such as lane departure warning systems (LDWS) and autonomous emergency braking systems (AEBS) in vehicles by 2020, Foresight is gearing up to be a leader in this developing space.

$RWLK Updated VA Policy Expands Access to ReWalk Exoskeletons

MARLBOROUGH, Mass. and YOKNEAM ILIT, Israel, July 20, 2018 — ReWalk Robotics, Ltd. (Nasdaq: RWLK) (“ReWalk” or the “Company”) announced that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has issued a revision to its national policy on exoskeleton medical device training and procurement for qualifying Veterans with spinal cord injury (SCI). The updated policy includes further guidance on the evaluation process and expands access to training program locations among the VA network and private rehabilitation centers through the VA’s Veterans Choice Program.

This policy, issued in June 2018, is an update to the original standard operating policy (SOP) issued by the VA in December 2015. The evaluation process will now have all Veterans flow through one of 24 designated spinal cord injury VA centers (SCI/D). Once a Veteran is determined to be qualified for training and procurement of his or her own exoskeleton system, the individual may be allowed to pursue training in one of three ways: at the applicable SCI/D hub center, at a qualified VA hospital designated by the VA’s “hub & spoke” program, or at a qualified private rehabilitation center through the VA’s Veterans Choice Program; a program through which Veterans can receive care from a community provider paid for by the VA.

The policy stipulates as follows:

“If a Veteran with SCI/D is unable or unwilling to travel to a VA Exoskeleton Training Center for training, case-by-case consideration will be given to enable the Veteran and companion to receive training at a VA facility that does not have an exoskeleton training program or at a non-VA facility.”

“This revised policy is a great step forward that will potentially help many paralyzed Veterans who simply seek to walk again,” said ReWalk CEO Larry Jasinski. “These significant SOP updates mean that numerous injured Veterans who have expressed an interest in obtaining a ReWalk, but have not been able to participate due to a lack of availability in their area, can now have access. We are pleased to see the VA build upon the SOP, taking into account the Department’s own extensive research and its ongoing national trial.”

The Department of Veterans Affairs is a leader in providing a national policy for the training and procurement of exoskeleton systems for qualifying beneficiaries. The SOP applies for any Veteran who has sustained a spinal cord injury, be that service or non-service related. ReWalk Robotics has been working with the VA since the policy was issued in 2015 to help provide training and devices nationwide to facilitate its implementation. Further, ReWalk has been advocating for use of the Veterans Choice Program for those qualifying Veterans who could not travel to their nearest SCI/D for training to obtain an exoskeleton system.

As a result of the revised policy, there are now 142 ReWalk certified private and VA SCI/D training centers across the US potentially available to train Veterans to use ReWalk. Furthermore, the network of VA SCI/D spoke sites may now be eligible to conduct training and provide additional opportunity.

$TGODF to Provide Dividend of TGOD Acquisition

TORONTO, July 19, 2018 — The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (the “Company” or “TGOD”) (TSX:TGOD) (US:TGODF) is pleased to announce its intention to complete a spinoff transaction by way of plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”), pursuant to which the Company will distribute a dividend consisting of a warrant (a “Warrant”) in a new corporation (“TGOD Acquisitions”) to shareholders. The new corporation will be engaged in the acquisition and development of worldwide opportunities.

To learn more about this dividend and the details behind it contact the investor relations team at: invest@tgod.ca or (416) 900-7621

TGOD has met with emerging cannabis companies from around the globe and acquired a deep understanding, including proprietary knowledge, of all facets of the cannabis industry. These companies are not considered core assets in TGOD’s business plan, and accordingly, they have not been pursued to date. However, the Company now wishes to monetize this unique situation for the benefit of TGOD shareholders. After consultation with multiple financial institutions, TGOD Acquisitions plans to execute a series of staged financings and acquisitions leading to a late 2018 target IPO date.

“This is an incredible opportunity for TGOD to transfer expertise and monetize our proprietary knowledge from the Canadian marketplace. We will partner with innovative and disruptive companies that we can assist with capital market knowledge and unique retail-exclusive financing methods. The intention is to raise additional capital and list TGOD Acquisitions on the Canadian Securities Exchange. We are excited about this unique opportunity to reward our investors and provide additional value to TGOD shareholders,” said TGOD CEO, Brian Athaide.

The Company will distribute to its shareholders a Warrant to acquire a TGOD Acquisitions Unit (each a “Unit”) for $0.50. Each Unit will consist of one share plus an additional warrant for the investor. This additional warrant (the “Additional Warrant”) will be triggered by a subsequent financing to occur following the initial $0.50 offering. TGOD and TGOD management will have the right to backstop the Unit in addition to participating in a financing on the same terms. This exclusive offering provides investors the ability to join in the future financing alongside TGOD management through participation in the seed round of the company.

The distribution will be paid on the basis of one Warrant for every 6.67 TGOD shares owned on the record date, to be fixed by the Board of Directors of TGOD following satisfaction of the conditions for the Arrangement.

TGOD and TGOD Acquisitions will enter into a repayable funding agreement, whereby TGOD will provide $25,000,000 of working capital to TGOD Acquisitions. This will be repayable by TGOD Acquisitions prior to completion of any investment. In consideration for the funding agreement, TGOD Acquisitions will issue a restricted warrant to purchase 50 million common shares for a period of 25 years from the date upon which the shares of TGOD Acquisitions commence trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange.

Following the completion of the spin out, TGOD Acquisitions will operate at arm’s length to TGOD and will have an independent Board of Directors and management. Further details of the management team will be announced with the filing of the Arrangement materials at a special meeting of TGOD shareholders.

“We have developed a significant amount of intrinsic value from years of corporate development at TGOD,” said Brian Athaide. “Capitalizing on these efforts will add value to both TGOD’s balance sheet and the investment portfolios of our shareholders,” continued Athaide.

The use of proceeds will include working capital and acquisitions.

Further details of the Arrangement will be published in a Special Meeting information circular to be prepared for TGOD security holders to approve the Arrangement and which will be filed under TGOD’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

$PBIO Developing Potential Breakthrough Dairy Processing Method

Primary Goal is Delivery of Higher Quality, Longer Lasting Liquid Foods and Beverages not Requiring Refrigeration or Chemical Additives

SOUTH EASTON, MA / July 19, 2018 / Pressure BioSciences, Inc. (OTCQB: PBIO) (“PBI” or the “Company”), a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based technology and products to the worldwide life sciences industry, today announced a major collaboration with the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences of The Ohio State University (“Ohio State”). The primary goal of the program is to develop and make available for commercialization a continuous-flow manufacturing technology that will prepare liquid foods and beverages with preservation of superior sensory and nutritional qualities, while delivering long, room temperature shelf stability without requiring refrigeration or chemical additives throughout the chain of distribution and retail sale. PBI believes achievement of this long sought-after consumer demand can now be accomplished through scale-up of the Company’s innovative and patented Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”).

The collaborative project is supported by a four-year, $891,000 grant awarded to scientists at Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (“CFAES”) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture (“NIFA”). Ohio State has granted PBI a $318,000 sub-contract to build a working benchtop instrument and a pilot plant floor model UST machine. PBI has already begun to work on this project.

Today’s health conscious consumers demand food that is nutritious, minimally processed, pathogen safe, and that also tastes good, looks appealing, and is free of chemical emulsifiers and preservatives. Food processors have been seeking new minimal or non-heat exposure technologies that can provide extended shelf-life, while meeting “clean label” (no artificial ingredients or chemicals) requirements and that satisfy consumer expectations. The current clean label food market is estimated at $62 billion in the USA and $165 billion worldwide (Nunes, 2016). Many clean label foods are currently processed using costly, non-efficient, batch-oriented high-pressure processing (“HPP”), including juices (e.g., Starbuck’s Evolution line), seafood, meats, baby food, guacamole, and fruits/vegetables. In 2015, the worldwide market for HPP food was estimated at $10 billion (Toops: 2016).

Dr. Edmund Y. Ting, Sr. VP of Engineering at PBI, and a pioneer in the development of HPP, said: “HPP has proven to be very effective in reducing food-borne pathogens and extending shelf-life in pre-packaged foods (e.g., juices and ready-to-eat meats), thus eliminating the need for chemical additives. However, HPP remains a batch process not capable of continuous flow, and because it is only a pasteurization process, and does not render food “commercially sterile”, HPP-processed food must be shipped, stored, and maintained under refrigeration throughout the entire chain of distribution and retail sale. We believe that Ultra Shear Technology will provide economical solutions to these problems, and will offer an additional, clean label processing choice to both consumers and the food industry around the world.”

Ultra Shear Technology combines high pressure and high shear forces, while minimizing exposure to damaging high temperatures. PBI believes this innovative processing method will allow liquid food and beverage companies to manufacture healthier and better tasting products by reducing thermal damage and the need for chemical preservatives. This can be achieved by using extreme pressures to deliver nearly instantaneous shear and temperature exposures for effective anti-microbial effects and long-term preservation without the necessity for chemical additives. It is also anticipated that the fine emulsions produced with Ultra Shear will have enhanced sensory and nutritional benefits.

“We believe UST can be used by food manufacturers for the processing of healthier and improved beverages, sauces, condiments and other foods,” said Dr. V.M. “Bala” Balasubramaniam, a CFAES professor of food engineering who is leading the collaborative project. His laboratory, with a multidisciplinary team of microbiologists, chemists and nutritionists, investigates innovative food technologies and then works with industry to implement them commercially.

Known internationally for his research on high-pressure and other types of nonthermal processing, or safely processing food using significantly less heat, Dr. Balasubramaniam holds joint appointments in the CFAES departments of Food Science and Technology, and in Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering. Other distinguished members of the CFAES research team include Ahmed Yousef, professor of Food Microbiology; Rafael Jimenez-Flores, the J.T. “Stubby” Parker Endowed Chair in Dairy Foods; and Christopher Simons, assistant professor of Sensory Science.

Richard T. Schumacher, President and CEO of PBI, stated: “The ultimate goal of this collaborative project is for consumers to benefit from the increased availability of wholesome, healthy, better-tasting, shelf-stable, clean label liquid food and beverage options. Imagine liquid foods like milk shipped and stored at room temperature for extended periods of time post-processing, while retaining superior nutritional and taste qualities. The advantages and cost-savings to the consumer and dairy industry could be game-changing. The advantages and cost savings to schools, the military, disaster relief agencies, and other such groups could be equally significant. This technology development is very exciting, and potentially very rewarding, for all stakeholders in PBI.”

Mr. Schumacher continued: “It is important to note that PBI’s core business of providing innovative, pressure-based instruments and consumables to life sciences companies worldwide continues to be strong. As reported during our Q1 2018 financial call, we have achieved nine consecutive quarters of increased product and services revenue on a year-over-year basis. We also reported that we recently initiated the first project utilizing our recently acquired IP from the BaroFold acquisition, and that we believe this new CRO service could generate significant revenue in the near future.”

Mr. Schumacher concluded: “With our core business showing consistent revenue growth, our BaroFold acquisition generating revenue much sooner than planned, and our Ultra Shear Technology platform getting off to an impressive start, we believe PBI has now positioned itself well for rapid, explosive growth in the months and years ahead.”

It is now estimated that global ecommerce between businesses (B2B) now amounts to $7.7 trillion (http://nnw.fm/4v2M0), far outstripping the $2.3 trillion in sales made from businesses to consumers (B2C). Targeting this massive and growing market, Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) has extended its Netevia payment platform to include solutions aimed at sales between vendors, according to a company press release (http://nnw.fm/N3aYc).

Net Element, a financial service technology company that develops multi-channel electronic payment solutions, launched Netevia in February 2018 to provide value-added solutions for its users. Netevia was designed to integrate seamlessly with businesses’ existing payment platforms.

Businesses that use Netevia can accept over 100 cashless payment methods in several currencies – a crucial must for companies that wish to operate on an international scale. As of July 2018, Netevia can process cashless payments in 21 currencies. Netevia enables merchants to streamline their processes, including marketing tools, payment mechanisms and point-of-sale devices.

Research shows that 42 percent of B2B customers use a mobile device at some point during their purchasing process (http://nnw.fm/i3HCt). Taking this trend into account, the Netevia platform is developed for use on mobile devices as well as through a web-based portal. It will allow users to manage their vendors, process payments and deal with invoices from anywhere.

In a news release, Vlad Sadovskiy, Net Element’s president of integrated payments, said, “We are excited to enable this functionality on our Netevia platform and make Netevia a market platform where small and medium-sized businesses can find comprehensive and innovative card payments-oriented solutions to enhance their operations. Enabling vendor payments is one more step towards achieving this goal.”

Netevia is poised to enable its users to adapt their businesses to the steady growth of the ecommerce sector. The platform has been designed to be extendable, allowing users to add features as their business needs evolve.

With security a key concern for all online operators, Netevia’s designers have included robust fraud prevention and security features into the platform. In addition, since international business never sleeps, technical support for the platform is available round the clock by phone, email or web chat.

Netevia is just one of a suite of innovative mobile payment solutions that Net Elements has developed. Others include Aptito, a payment solution tailor-made for the restaurant industry, and Unified Payments, a simple and flexible mobile point-of-sale system that can be used by a variety of vendors, including kiosk-type shops, limousine drivers, tow truck and delivery drivers, pool maintenance workers and roadside assistance mechanics.

$FRSX JGR Capital Distributes Research Note

NEW YORK, July 18, 2018 — via NetworkWire – JGR Capital, an independent equity research firm, distributes an update note on Foresight Autonomous (NASDAQ:FRSX), a development-stage technology company that develops powerful and mature proprietary stereoscopic technology.

The full report can be found here: bit.ly/2Npo3FH

Foresight Autonomous (“Foresight,” “FRSX” or the “Company”) is a development-stage technology company that develops stereoscopic technology derived from the field-proven security technology of its major shareholder, Magna BSP. The stereoscopic technology is an image processing concept that uses synchronized cameras to mimic human depth perception and obtain a 3D view. FRSX’s systems create and analyze 3D images to foresee possible collisions in roadway environments while providing real-time alerts with the lowest rates of false alerts. ​The Company’s proprietary stereoscopic and quad-camera technology is based in part on intellectual property that it has transferred from Magna BSP. Magna’s field-proven security technology has been deployed for almost two decades in critical facilities worldwide, including borders, nuclear plants and airports.

In June, the Company announced its first sale of a prototype of its QuadSight system for the semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle market, which was sooner than expected. Additionally, for the Eye-Net V2X system, the Company completed a successful trial in collaboration with the City of Ashdod and NoTraffic Ltd.

 Key Report Highlights

  • The Company entered into a strategic merger agreement with Tamda for its Eye-Net subsidiary.
  • In late June, the company raised $12.4 million in capital from private placement.
  • Foresight Autonomous announced the first sale of its QuadSight prototype and MoU of sales for the Eyes-On ADAS System.

The Company targets two vertical markets, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous/semi-autonomous vehicles, with its two key products of Eyes-On and QuadSight respectively.

$TGODF and Epican Open Flagship Retail Dispensary in Jamaica

KINGSTON, Jamaica, July 17, 2018 — The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (the “Company” or “TGOD”) (TSX:TGOD, US:TGODF) is pleased to announce, in conjunction with Epican Medicinals (“Epican”), the successful opening of its first legal cannabis retail store in Jamaica, on Saturday, July 14th. This flagship location provides Epican and TGOD with immediate revenue from the sale of premium Jamaican grown organic cannabis and further exemplifies TGOD’s value-added approach to partnerships.

The ~4,000 sq. ft. flagship dispensary in Kingston represents the first of several Epican Herb Houses scheduled to be completed across Jamaica by the end of 2018. These locations will serve the medical needs of Jamaica’s 3 million residents and over 3.5 million visitors each year.

“Immediate revenue has always been an important component of Epican business plan,” said TGOD CEO, Brian Athaide. “We expect Epican to increase revenues significantly in the coming months as production increases and more Herb Houses come online.”

TGOD investments are structured as true partnerships, where portfolio companies receive support and industry leading knowledge. This knowledge transfer includes cultivation methodology, extraction, R&D, and organic certification, through to accounting, auditing, sales, marketing, and distribution.

Jamaica is recognized as a premier destination for cannabis, and Epican has deep roots in the country. The founders of the business, the McKenzie brothers, have been at the forefront of the nation’s burgeoning medical cannabis industry, including advocacy for the responsible development of the industry. Epican was awarded the country’s historic first cultivation licence.

See photo here.

“Today is a celebratory day for Epican and TGOD,” said Karibe McKenzie, CEO of Epican. “We have worked tirelessly to provide an end to end, fully integrated solution delivering high-quality cannabis to Jamaicans and tourists alike. We were delighted at the response and look forward to building off this positive momentum and launching several more Herb Houses by the end of 2018.”

“The Kingston dispensary is an important step in TGOD’s global strategy,” said Csaba Reider, President of TGOD. “Commercializing legalized, high-quality, organic medical cannabis to the market is proof of our commitment to portfolio companies and our ability to go beyond cash infusion. The Epican team are great business partners and we would like to thank all those involved who have made this day happen.”

TGOD owns 49.18% of Epican. The partnership will provide 14,000 kgs of TGOD’s total funded capacity of 170,000 kgs. TGOD will provide Epican access to its financing facilities to support future expansion requirements. Epican and TGOD are partnering to construct a 150,000 sq. ft. GMP compliant facility in Jamaica. Upon receiving the license for this site expansion, Epican will cultivate premium strains for Jamaican and international markets.

$HMMR SmallCap Sentinel: Revenue, Revenue, Revenue

ORLANDO, FL / July 17, 2018 / In real estate investing the axiom “Location, Location, Location” is a succinct and prevailing doctrine for success. For emergent public companies, the mantra could well be “Revenue, Revenue, Revenue.”

The presence of revenue, even in smaller amounts, confirms or encourages confidence in a number of imperative factors. First and most importantly, revenue suggests that there is a market for a product or service, that businesses or consumers are saying “yes” to the offering.

Additionally important for companies at this nascent point in their development, revenue is critical to sustaining operations, growth and the fuel of future opportunity. And the presence of revenue can greatly decrease or deflect dangerous toxic debt that is so often the death knell of a small cap company.

Over the past few months we’ve covered the market opportunity and news items for Hammer Fiber Optic Holdings (OTCQB: HMMR) a company aggressively pursuing interests in the fiber optic/optical communication space that is projected to grow to $24 billion by 2023.

And while Hammer has big plans to roll-out a national network with their hybrid technology, today we’re focused on the Company’s revenue pattern. Hammer’s first full fiscal year of revenues was for the period ended July 2017, producing revenues of $82,617. No revenues were earned earlier because the Company was working on the network infrastructure necessary to offer services that they could monetize after.

Additionally, revenues for the 3 month period ending April 30, 2018 were $56,550, but for the 9 month period ending April 30, 2018, they were $146, 525. This can be interpreted as a reflection of a start-up that is increasing its revenues. Clearly, when comparing other earlier comparable periods, the Company has increased revenues.

Assuredly, these numbers aren’t tantamount to an Apple quarter, where investors hold their breath to see if the iPhone is holding its own with Samsung. But for believers in the vast opportunity that is Fiber Optic Communications this is a strong indicator that Hammer has cleared some important hurdles, is monetizing its technology and is further along in scaling operations to a head-turning number than aspiring companies who don’t have their technology or positive pattern.

About Hammer Fiber

Hammer Fiber Optic Holdings Corp. (OTCQB: HMMR) is a telecommunications company investing in the future of wireless technology whose holdings include Hammer Fiber Optic Investments, Ltd. D/B/A Hammer Communications, that offers internet, voice, video and data services in New Jersey, through both direct fiber as well as its wireless fiber platform, Hammer Wireless® AIR technology.

$CODA Enters into a Navy Cooperative Research And Development Agreement

  • U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command plan for multi-generation of development of real time 3D DAVD-HUD was outlined at Undersea Defence Technology 2018 conference;
  • Program to transition Divers Augmented Vision Display-Head Up Display System (DAVD-HUD) prototype into Gen 1 system ready for operational use within 12 months; technology to transition from CRADA to Exclusive Invention Licensing Agreement;
  • CODA project scope expanded from visualization software to productize the full system including 3D sonar, diver helmet hardware and surface electronics;
  • DAVD-HUD will be an “Authorized for Navy Use” (ANU) product available for supply across the U.S. Navy and military.
  • Coda Octopus’s proprietary commercial sonar technology, Echoscope®, would also be added to the ANU list.

ORLANDO, FL, July 16, 2018 – Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (CODA) (Nasdaq:CODA) a global leader in real-time 3D sonar technology and real-time subsea intelligence, announced the Company has entered into a Navy Cooperative Research Development Agreement (CRADA) to transition the prototype of the Divers Augmented Vision Display-Head Up Display system (DAVD-HUD) into a complete system that is ready for operational use, with Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (NSWC PCD). The DAVD-HUD first generation system (Gen 1), along with an outline plan for the development of the second, third and fourth generations of the DAVD-HUD, were unveiled by Mr. Paul D. McMurtrie, Diving Equipment RDT&E Program Manager for Naval Sea Systems Command 0038 at the Undersea Defence Technology 2018 conference held June 27, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

The outline plan indicates that the DAVD-HUD product will advance military naval activities significantly, and is considered a critical deliverable to Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and other naval bodies. The prototype DAVD-HUD, which includes CODA’s real-time 3D visualization software, has been successfully trialed and evaluated by divers, as well as astronauts, generating much interest for the product and its capability across numerous naval bodies. The internal naval sponsors of the program have grown substantially since Coda became involved in 2016, as the trials and evaluations have conclusively shown the significant benefits and advancement that the DAVD-HUD will bring to naval operations. Speaking at the conference, Mr. McMurtrie described a four-phase multi-generational development program through 2025, with CODA as the program’s partner that will work in conjunction with NSWC PCD to deliver this critical and state-of-the-art advancement to the military community.

Under the terms of the CRADA, CODA, in collaboration with NSWC PCD, will transition the existing prototype to a first-generation operational system in production no later than 12 months from the date of the CRADA. CODA would then be granted an Exclusive Invention Licensing Agreement to produce and supply the complete system of software and hardware to the Navy and military community. Once released for sale, the DAVD-HUD, along with CODA’s real-time 3D sonar and 3D visualization software which is branded commercially as Echoscope®, will be an “Authorized for Navy Use” (ANU) item, allowing these products to be purchased by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Allies.

The agreement to transition and develop the DAVD-HUD prototype is an expansion of CODA’s original brief on program. CODA received U.S. Government funding for the development of the 3D visualization software to be used with the DAVD prototype that was using 2D imaging sonar data. CODA was tasked to bring real-time 3D sonar and diver tracking into the DAVD – displayed simultaneously in real time for both divers in the water and diving operations’ supervisors on the surface, to use to navigate to targets, identify specific targets and conduct operations, such as repair work. The new scope of work extends to developing the second, third and fourth generations of the complete DAVD-HUD, including the helmet with all electronics, as well as the real-time 3D sonar and 3D visualization software.

Annmarie Gayle, Coda Octopus Group’s Chairman and CEO said: “I am very excited and pleased that we have been given this significant opportunity to take forward the initial vision of the DAVD-HUD into a real-time, real-world application that will greatly advance defense and military applications. This is a significant development for Coda Octopus as it positions the Company to roll out its unique real-time 3D capabilities, both hardware and software, across the Navy – a very important group of users. This is a seismic shift as it paves the way for standardization of our real-time 3D sonar products into this very important market. Although we are on a 12-month contractual commitment to develop the first generation of the DAVD-HUD, we intend to deliver this much sooner and get this critical product into operation across the Navy Community.”

$PBIO Collaborates with Ohio State University to Study Ultra-Shear Technology

Global life sciences company Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB: PBIO) was recently highlighted in a release by The Ohio State University detailing the university’s upcoming study regarding healthier food and beverage options.  Per the news release, a team of scientists from Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (“CFAES”) has been awarded a four-year, $891,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (“USDA”) National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The main objective of the grant is to develop an innovative manufacturing technology to preserve food and beverages using wholesome, identifiable ingredients, no artificial preservatives and reduced use of heat, by utilizing Ultra-Shear Technology (“UST”). UST is an innovative method that enables beverage companies to manufacture healthier beverages by reducing thermal exposure through the combined application of elevated pressure, shear, and controlled times and temperatures.

V.M. Dr. “Bala” Balasubramaniam, a CFAES professor of food engineering, is leading the research project. Dr. Bala believes that UST also holds the potential to be utilized by food manufacturers to ensure a healthier processing of sauces, condiments and other foods. “Development of cost-effective, next-generation, gentler industrial food manufacturing technologies for the preservation of healthy beverages has now become a critical need,” Dr. Balasubramaniam stated in the news release.

The CFAES research team will collaborate with scientists and engineers at Pressure BioSciences during the project, including Edmund Ting, a senior vice president at PBIO. Ting will lead the development of the laboratory scale and pilot plant equipment that CFAES and the company’s researchers will use in the research project. “It has been rewarding to see the significant growth of high-pressure food and beverage processing over the last 25 years,” PBIO senior vice president Edmund Ting stated in the news release. “I believe UST has equal if not greater applications than high-pressure processing, both within and outside the food and beverage industries.”

  • Total dollars processed for the first six months of 2018 have increased 37 percent over the same period of 2017
  • Total transactions processed in the first six months of 2018 have increased to 50.2 million, compared to 35.7 million during the same period of 2017

Global technology and value-added solutions group Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) recently announced significant year-over-year growth in its transaction processing volume (http://nnw.fm/0xQo7).

Net Element’s transaction processing volumes have increased substantially during the first six months of 2018, as compared with the same period of 2017. The total dollars processed by the company between January and June 2018 increased by 37 percent year-over-year, growing from a transaction volume of $1.18 billion during the first six months of 2017 to $1.62 billion during that same time frame in 2018. Net Element’s North America transaction solutions segment has shown the most growth, increasing from $1 billion in the first six months of 2017 to $1.4 billion in 2018 – an increase of 40 percent. This increase has been led by significant growth from the company’s Unified Payments subsidiary. There was a 20 percent increase in international transaction solutions, as well, which grew from $176 million in the first six months of 2017 to $211 million during the same time period this year.

The total transactions processed by Net Element amounted to 50.2 million during the first six months of 2018, up from 35.7 million during the same period of 2017. This was also primarily due to North America transactions, which increased from 20 million to 28.1 million. Total international transactions solutions processed grew from 15 million in the first six months of 2017 to 21 million during the same period of 2018. These results include a reorganization of the company’s mobile payments segment into its international transactions solutions segments. In all segments, growth has been organic.

Net Element’s impressive and ongoing growth across all segments is being driven by the company’s innovative, customer-focused value-added services and products. The company plans to implement measures to ensure continued results from these growth initiatives well into the future.

Net Element also recently announced that independent equity research firm JGR Capital has distributed a research note on the company (http://nnw.fm/vPf4K). The report highlights developments in Net Element’s Netevia platform and Unified Payments subsidiary; intentions to improve revenue generation by adding a smart solution for secure vendor payments to the Netevia platform; and the intelligent payment solution recently launched by Unified Payments specifically for the multibillion-dollar events industry.

Net Element is a leading global provider of mobile payments and value-added transactional services, delivering market- and industry-specific expertise and solutions and driving growth for its clients by anticipating market changes rather than merely reacting to them.

$TMSR working with NetworkNewsWire

NEW YORK, July 11, 2018 — TMSR Holding Company Limited (NASDAQ:TMSR), a holding company with its subsidiaries engaging in the production and sales of solid waste recycling and comprehensive utilization equipment, announces it has engaged the corporate communications expertise of NetworkNewsWire (“NNW”).

TMSR is focused on exploiting this unmet need, providing end users in the solid waste recycling markets a clean alternative to traditional waste disposal, significantly reducing solid waste discharge into the environment and enabling end users to extract value from industrial waste materials.

NNW is a multifaceted financial news and publishing company that delivers a new generation of social communication solutions, news aggregation and syndication, and enhanced news release services. NNW’s strategies help public and private organizations find their voice and build market visibility. As part of the Client-Partner relationship with TMSR, NNW will leverage its investor-based distribution network of over 5,000 key syndication outlets, various newsletters, social media channels, blogs, and other outreach tools to generate greater brand awareness for the Company.

“TMSR operates in one of the fastest growing markets in the world. The company’s green technology systems provide significant opportunity in the People’s Republic of China, where policies encourage industrial solid waste recycling,” states Sherri Franklin, Director of Client Solutions for NNW. “We look forward to assisting TMSR with its corporate communications campaign as it pursues exciting market verticals.”

$FRSX Announces Another Sale of QuadSight™ Prototype

NESS ZIONA, Israel

The system was ordered by a leading global Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), an innovator in automotive vision systems, today announced the sale of another prototype of its breakthrough QuadSight™ quad-camera vision system targeted for the semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle market.

Designed to allow near-100% obstacle detection under any weather and lighting conditions, the system was ordered by a leading Chinese electric and autonomous vehicle manufacturer to evaluate the system and its performance with the manufacturer’s current electric vehicles. The vehicle manufacturer may choose to integrate QuadSight™ into its future autonomous electric vehicles upon successful testing. Revenue from the prototype system sale is expected to total tens of thousands of dollars.

“According to a report by Frost & Sullivan earlier this year, more than 1.2 million electric vehicles were sold globally in 2017. Notably, China led the market with 49.5% of total sales,” stated Doron Cohadier, Foresight’s VP of Business Development. “With China expected to be the largest market for electric vehicles for at least the next five to seven years, and as analysts at Boston Consulting Group predict that more than five million conventional cars per year could be replaced by fully or semi-autonomous electric vehicles, we feel that our QuadSight™ system is well suited for the evolving Chinese electric vehicle market.”

This and any future sale of QuadSight™ prototypes is expected to provide Foresight with important customer feedback and a deeper understanding of each customer’s main requirements, while also allowing Foresight to modify the system to accommodate various customer needs within a short period of time. Customer satisfaction at the end of the evaluation process may lead to orders of QuadSight™systems by the vehicle manufacturer for mass production.

By selling additional prototypes, Foresight intends to increase awareness of its unique solution, address additional potential customers, and expand its presence with vehicle manufacturers and tier-one automotive suppliers. Foresight believes that a closer evaluation of the technology by potential customers may lead to future collaborations in research and development, integration and commercialization of the QuadSight™.

About QuadSight™
Foresight first launched a demo of its QuadSight™ system in January at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Foresight regards QuadSight™ as the industry’s most accurate quad-camera vision system, offering exceptional obstacle detection for semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle safety. Using proven, highly advanced image-processing algorithms, QuadSight™ uses four-camera technology that combines two pairs of stereoscopic infrared and daylight cameras. QuadSight™ is designed to achieve near-100% obstacle detection with near-zero false alerts under any weather or lighting conditions – including complete darkness, rain, haze, fog and glare.

Stereoscopic vision technology’s exceptional three-dimensional (3D) images, detection and accuracy are essential for safe and reliable semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle vision systems. Stereoscopic cameras exceed a human driver’s ability to see objects in real time, whether large or small, in-motion or static, and from short or long-range distances. The dynamic driving environment demands a level of accuracy that only stereoscopic cameras can provide.

About Foresight
Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), founded in 2015, is a technology company engaged in the design, development and commercialization of stereo/quad-camera vision systems and V2X cellular-based solutions for the automotive industry.

The company invests in diverse industries within the commercial, defense/aerospace, industrial, communication, medical, crypto-mining, hospitality, textile, and corporate investment/lending sectors. DPW has evolved and grown from being a leader in advanced power products. Through its subsidiaries, the company continues to be a leader and supplier of innovative technologies, advanced design and development services, and state-of-the-art power products and solutions.

Through its wholly owned Coolisys Technologies, Inc. subsidiary, DPW is committed to offering world-class technology-based solutions for critical applications and lifesaving services that are primarily driven by innovation. Coolisys targets to the defense, aerospace, naval, homeland security, medical, telecom, datacom and industrial markets. Its growth strategy centers on core markets that are characterized by “high barriers to entry” and require specialized products and services not likely to be commoditized. Through a portfolio of companies, Coolisys is engaged in developing and manufacturing advanced switching power products and power solutions that utilize a customized digital power management and resonant topology to attain:

  • The highest efficiency and highest density power converters and inverters
  • Specialized complex airborne high-frequency, radio frequency (RF), and microwave detector-log video amplifiers (DLVA)

  • Power-Plus Technical Distributors, a value-added distributor that is based in Sonora, California.
  • Enertec Systems, a developer and manufacturer of specialized advanced electronic systems for the defense and aerospace sectors that is based in Karmiel, Israel.

DPW’s portfolio of wholly owned subsidiaries also includes Digital Power Lending, LLC (“DPL”), a California private lending company operating under Financial Lender’s License ##60DBO-77905. DPL is dedicated to strategically providing capital to small and middle-size businesses for an equity interest in addition to loan fees and interest. DPL provides secured and unsecured debt financing for public and private companies. These loans will typically have a six to 12-month maturity and range from $250,000-$5 million. DPL is active in bridge loans, receivable financing, inter company loans and micro loans. DPL will work with a network of company owned ATMs (terminals) in California, which will help utilize its CA Finance Lending License and enable the company to offer micro loans of up to $500 or less.

Management has over 50 years of Wall Street experience of investing in, and building companies. DPL’s desire is to bring world-class companies lending opportunities while allowing main street investors to participate. Deal flow and organization comes from an extensive network of investment bankers, business brokers, family offices, and institutional clients enabling DPL to engage and fund the most compelling companies from Silicon Valley to Wall Street.

To date, DPL has funded over $19 million in loans. Since inception, DPL has internally funded over $15 million to DPW’s portfolio companies and wholly owned subsidiaries. As for companies outside DPW, DPL has lent over $4 million in commercial and real estate loans.

Super Crypto Mining endeavors to leverage its engineering expertise and existing global facilities (high-security defense business locations) to secure mining farms. Super Crypto Mining is a rapidly growing organization that recently strategically secured 25 megawatts to power the company’s mining farm. For crypto currency mining, locations with inexpensive power and secure capacity are minimal and hence costly. Having such a location allows the company to grow its mining business to more than 20,000 mining machines. Super Crypto Mining continues to purchase mining machines and explore opportunities to expand its services into other related areas including mining farm real estate investments, mining machine development, and mainstream blockchain projects.

DPW additionally has beneficiary ownership in MTIX International, Inc., the parent company of MTIX, Ltd. and I.AM, Inc.

MTIX was acquired by Avalanche International aka MTIX International, Inc., in August 2017 and offers “green technology” that uses a proprietary laser process to enhance the surface of textiles.

I.AM, acquired in May 2018, owns and operates hospitality offerings that include four Prep Kitchen brand restaurants and Giulia DTLA.

Utilizing a shareholder-centric approach to compensation, DPW has formulated the following 10-year objectives:

  • Achieve compounded annual revenue growth of 25-35%
  • Achieve compounded annual net Income growth of 5%
  • Achieve positive unrestricted free cash flow by the end of 2019

DPW is led by a seasoned team of successful business professionals and entrepreneurs. The company is headquartered in Newport Beach, California.

Sunniva (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF), a vertically integrated cannabis company, this morning announced that it plans to spin out its Canadian assets into a separate Canadian entity and to apply to list the shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). Per the update, the purpose of the transaction is to attain the underlying value of Sunniva’s assets on both sides of the border. Upon completion of the spinout transaction, which is subject to various conditions such as shareholder and exchange approval, Canadian assets would include Sunniva Medical Inc. (“SMI”), which is currently building the Sunniva Canada Campus in British Columbia. Shareholders will receive an information circular regarding the proposed spinout which will include information on the management, board of directors, financial statements and business plans of each of the entities. A meeting of the shareholders of Sunniva will be required. Existing Sunniva shareholders at the record date of the meeting will obtain a proportionate number of shares in the new entity and continue to hold a proportionate number of shares in the current CSE listed entity.

$NUGL Hires Seasoned CFO

LOS ANGELES, July 10, 2018 — via NetworkWire – NUGL Inc. (OTC:NUGL) (the “Company”), the cannabis industry’s new standard of technology, today announces it has hired Thomas Bouse, CPA, as the new Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of NUGL Inc. Bouse will replace Brandon Vargas who has been acting interim CFO. NUGL’s appointment of a highly qualified CFO is strategically tied to the Company’s ongoing financial audit.

“Tom has an extensive background with corporate taxes. He also understands how to manage a company’s tax flow in rapid growth modes,” said Brandon Vargas, CEO of NUGL.

Tom Bouse is the founder and owner of Pacific Rim Tax and Accounting, headquartered in Huntington Beach, California. His expertise in tax services, accounting, consulting and financial planning, along with two decades of dedicated service to owners and entrepreneurs of all sizes of business, is unparalleled. He began his career at a full-service CPA firm specializing in taxation, IRS audits, tax settlement, business filings and tax returns.

A move to PriceWaterhouseCoopers, the second largest professional services firm in the world and one of the Big Four auditors, allowed Tom to apply his knowledge to medium and large businesses. While there, he developed a broader understanding of complex corporate issues and how to identify opportunities across various industries.

In 2005, Tom purchased and managed a large bookkeeping, tax preparation and payroll practice in north San Diego County, California, specializing in tax planning, tax settlement, tax compliance and start-up consulting. His new, full service boutique – Pacific Rim Tax and Accounting – provides business consulting services and caters to all aspects of tax and accounting related matters, ultimately freeing clients up to focus on successful strategies for corporate and personal growth.

“As NUGL grows sales and expands the software platform, it is equally important to grow our infrastructure and prepare for the next step in growth for the company,” said Jeff Odle, CTO.

NUGL’s marijuana-focused search engine and online directory is a software application with metasearch technology that functions like an app on any device. It serves as both a networking platform for companies in the cannabis industry and as a directory that enables users to search profiles. The database includes listings for dispensaries, strains, doctors, lawyers, service professionals, vape shops, hydro stores and brands.

NUGL continues to improve with the launch of weekly features for the software. Users of the NUGL platform can now set up services, brands and shops under their profiles. This new feature enables users to link all of their companies under a single profile. New users are signing up daily for the Apple and Android apps, now available in Google Play and the iTunes Store. NUGL’s niche in the market will ultimately be focused on brands and services within the 420 industry that have not been represented on the internet until now.

About NUGL

NUGL is the world’s first cannabis search app built for the people, by the people. Our goal is to build the most user-friendly app experience in the cannabis industry by listening to our users and giving them what they want. NUGL is the only cannabis search app that offers equal and unbiased search results. We don’t sell top-spot listings or fake reviews, so our data stays true. Use NUGL to search for genuine user-rated dispensaries, strains, doctors, lawyers, cannabis service providers, vape shops, hydro stores, brands and more.

$DJACF Subsidiary Takes a Look Back at The History of Cannabis

DOJA Cannabis Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hiku Brands Co. Ltd. (CSE: HIKU) (OTC: DJACF), recently posted a blog update detailing the history of Cannabis in British Columbia. Dating all the way back to the 1600s, hemp has proven to be a valuable crop in the Canadian Province. Per the article, hemp was grown in parts of Canada since the 1600s as a cash crop, providing the British Navy with material for rope and sails. Years later, doctors praised extracts of the plant for positive effects in treating medical conditions. However, Canada prohibited cannabis in the 1920s, along with other substances such as opiates and cocaine. Almost a century later, the plant has again been accepted by the Canadian government, with the impending legalization of recreational use expected to go into effect later this year. As a company that is federally licensed to cultivate and sell cannabis pursuant to the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”), DOJA is set to profit handsomely from the approaching legalization.

With a national retail footprint led by Tokyo Smoke, craft cannabis production through DOJA’s ACMPR licensed grow, and Van der Pop’s female-focused educational platforms, Hiku houses an industry-leading portfolio that aims to set the bar for cannabis brands in Canada. Hiku’s wholly-owned subsidiary, DOJA Cannabis Ltd., is federally licensed to cultivate and sell cannabis pursuant to the ACMPR, owning two production facilities in the heart of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. Hiku’s subsidiary, Tokyo Smoke, has been conditionally awarded one of four master retail licenses in Manitoba.

$TGODF Posts Letter to Shareholders

TORONTO, July 09, 2018 — The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (the “Company” or “TGOD”) (TSX:TGOD)(US:TGODF) is a company built on innovation with the goal of becoming the largest organic cannabis producer in the world. The path is clearly evident from the way we have financed the Company with our retail first approach, to our strategic hires, recent expansion, exclusive licensing deals, entering international markets and most importantly, TGOD’s organic differentiation.

The transition from Mr. Robert Anderson to myself although abrupt and untimely, was one that was a planned evolution before the end of the year. As TGOD moves into full production Rob was to move into the executive Chair position providing vision and supporting financing activities. My experience of more than 26 years at senior levels of companies such as Proctor and Gamble running multiple international consumer packed goods operations was his choice for succession to take TGOD to the worldwide markets as the leading organic brand.

Rob had a vision, a vision of doing things the right way, a vision that retail investors have the ability to be so much more than just shareholders. They can become patients of the medical market, customers of the recreational market and brand ambassadors. These are cannabis enthusiasts, advocates, consumers, and from day one TGOD has aimed to empower those passionate about cannabis to invest alongside the management team and create the largest organic cannabis brand in the world. A large portion of what has made TGOD so special today is that vision, and it’s that same vision, that same philosophy, that I want to continue delivering for TGOD and TGOD’s shareholders. That was Rob’s vision, and that is my vision.

Everyone at TGOD would like to sincerely wish Rob a full and swift recovery. He has done so much for our Company, driven us forward at a rapid pace and established an incredible management team to succeed. I am grateful Rob will remain available to advise us as needed.  With the condition he is cleared medically, it is anticipated he would come back to join the TGOD family in a senior position.  Our plan is in place, the path is paved, and we will not deviate.

TGOD possesses one of the most well-rounded, driven and experienced management teams in the industry. Our board of directors has significant corporate experience specific to consumer-packaged goods, consumer products, and finance including experience in multiple successful acquisitions. Our leadership team has skillsets in all aspects of business including financial management, international markets, mergers & acquisitions, operations, project management, marketing, branding, and sales for some of the largest companies on the planet including Proctor & Gamble, Cott and Weightwatchers. We are focused on becoming the Wholefoods of the cannabis industry and recognized as pioneers in THC/CBD infused beverage industry.

As I transition into the CEO role, it comes down to operations and building a brand. A few recent highlights include:

• Strong cash position: $300 million
• Ontario Cultivation: 150,000 sq. ft. facility in Hamilton under construction, scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2019, capable of producing 14,000 kgs of premium organic cannabis
• Quebec Cultivation: 820,000 sq. ft. facility in Valleyfield under construction, scheduled to open in the first half of 2019 capable of producing 142,000 kgs of premium organic cannabis (Visit www.tgod.ca to see the latest construction videos)
• Jamaican JV: with Epican Medicinals Ltd., capable of producing an additional 14,000 kgs of premium organic cannabis. Jamaica represents the first of many strategic partnerships we intend to execute in the coming months and includes licenses for: cultivation, extraction, manufacturing, and retail distribution
• Denmark JV: with Queen Genetics, & Knud Jepsen adding the potential for an additional 25,000 kgs funded capacity, bringing TGOD European cultivation, R&D and a distribution centre.
• 170,000 kg funded capacity, with potential for 195,000 kg (upon completion of definitive agreement with Denmark JV)
• 
Aurora Cannabis, Strategic partner: Aurora (TSX:ACB) is the largest, most innovative cannabis company in the world. They invested over $78.1 million into our Company, validating everything from our organic strategy, to our R&D & beverage divisions, to our management team and international expansion plans. Our partnership is truly unique and our respect for Terry Booth and his team is great.  In addition, we are fortunate to have Cam Battley, Aurora’s CCO, one of the most respected industry leaders, sit on our Board of Directors.
• Largest ETF Holding: We are recognized as the #1 holding in the largest cannabis ETF in the United States
• Licensing partnerships: US states have become landlocked. We can export IP, and license various technologies using our land and our licenses to manufacture branded products in Canada, and own the international sales and distribution channels.

  • Stillwater’s, Ripple SC: soluble cannabinoids
  • Evolab: the number one selling vaporizer in Colorado
  • CBx Sciences: medical and recreational cannabis products, R&D and cannabis specific IP

• Launch of strategic Beverage Science and Research Division, 40,000 kg annual capacity cultivation facility dedicated to beverage, and appointment of Prem Virmani as beverage science and research division chair. Prem is the former senior vice-president of global science and research for Cott Beverages Inc.
• Developing a beverage platform moving us into much higher margin products for the future. Our team has over 125-years executive experience in consumer-packaged goods, beverage, and beverage alcohol, more than any other company in the industry
• Cultivation License: for Valleyfield granted & Oils license for Hamilton granted.
• $25 million bought deal @$6.40
• Largest IPO in Cannabis history, raising $132.1 million and listing on the world’s premier exchange for cannabis companies, the Toronto Stock Exchange
• Certified Organic product and process by Eco-Cert
• Focus on executing with excellence

TGOD is committed to building the largest organic cannabis brand in the world. Organic is a lifestyle choice, and everything we are building stands for organic. From our Eco-cert organic certification, to our LEED certified construction and GMP compliant facilities. We are committed to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint by developing some of the most advanced, automated hybrid facilities in existence, helping us produce the highest quality cannabis for the lowest possible cost.

By leveraging our combined experience, we plan to secure additional partnerships, joint ventures, and licensing arrangements with companies across varying jurisdictions in the United States and international markets. We will set up cultivation around the world for domestic, and international expansion. We will utilize our experience in the beverage and alcohol beverage industries to provide a strategic pathway into the cannabis market for large-scale beverage companies by way of direct investment, joint venture or other suitable opportunities. With one of the most dedicated, hard-working and well-rounded teams in the cannabis industry, and we will continue to execute on the business plan. Our plan is in place, the path is paved, and we will not deviate.

In closing, some of Rob’s greatest insights, vision and projects have yet to come to conclusion and as the new CEO I plan to execute them as soon as possible which should lead to many exciting days ahead.
