$PFSF is “One to Watch”

Designing and powering Hyperledger blockchain technologies
Creating solutions for sectors highly reliant on supply chain transparency and efficiency
Business model allows for the creation of several wholly owned subsidiaries
Working relationship with IBM provides expertise on supply chain implementations
Management has more than 50 years of combined experience in finance, M&A, investments and more
Advisory team led by Dr. Wang-Chan Wong, a 25-year veteran of global IT enterprise

Pacific Software Inc. (OTC: PFSF) is focused on the design, development, and distribution of Hyperledger blockchain technology solutions for application to the specific needs of agriculture, cannabis, and the opioid epidemic.

The basic requirements of the systems to be developed include high-throughput transaction processing, traceability or tracking, visibility or monitoring, and transparency throughout the supply and value chains for the stakeholders. The development of this architecture will serve as an online commercial portal to service Pacific Software’s B2B accounts in the sectors below.

Agriculture

For application of its Agri-blockchain based system, Pacific Software will target farm-to-consumer exports to increase transparency, combat theft and counterfeit products, and reduce the health risks associated with shipping “tainted” agricultural products to other countries.

Cannabis

Perceiving blockchain as an ideal mechanism for the complexities of the cannabis industry, Pacific Software will strive to improve the transparency, compliance, and efficiency of the “seed-to-sale” supply chain in states where the plant is legal.

Controlled Substances

With the misuse of opioids on the rise worldwide, Pacific Software aims to apply its blockchain-based system to track opioids from pharmaceutical production to consumers and attempt to identify “Bad Actors” in the supply chain and fight against the global epidemic.

Business Model

The portal will be structured in a B2B format where clients will pay the company transaction fees, royalties, cash, cash equivalents and other forms of compensation to utilize its Hyperledger blockchain applications for their business models.

As the company executes these strategies, each Hyperledger blockchain-based system designed may be organized separately in wholly owned subsidiaries. To enhance its portfolio of holdings, Pacific Software may consider investments in companies where selected markets have imminent profitable results, providing appreciable value for investors and shareholders.

$NUGL Launches Cannabis Brand Locator, Profile Claiming Features

LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2018 — via NetworkWire – NUGL Inc. (OTC:NUGL) (the “Company”), the cannabis industry’s new standard of technology, today announces the eagerly anticipated launch of its brand locator and profile claiming features for the cannabis community and its rapidly growing fan base.

NUGL’s platform is designed to serve cannabis-related businesses, products, services and users in a fresh and fair approach by building a community that truly meets the needs of the 420 industry. With the launch of two new features – profile claiming and brand locator – NUGL puts the power of self-promotion back into the hands of cannabis companies who can now build their own dedicated profile featuring their brands and services, while consumers are rewarded with the pleasure of discovering where they can purchase exactly what they want to buy.

“Brands are and will be the focus for us,” NUGL CMO Ryan Bartlett said. “Now users can search for brand specific items and see which stores offer these items, where they are located and read or offer their own unbiased reviews.”

Profile claiming provides the distinct benefit of linking cannabis-related brands to a specific profile, giving owners a dedicated platform to market to an identified consumer base of users. The brand locator gives cannabis companies the ability to promote their brands and connect with dispensaries and retail stores, upping the marketing potential for products, services and making it infinitely easier for consumers to actually find their favorite brands.

NUGL has also expanded its development team with the addition of two additional software developers. “Supporting the Company’s extraordinary growth and accelerated timeline for adding features to the NUGL app will keep the team busy,” said Jeff Odle, NUGL’s Chief Technical Officer.

“We have two more major features we are working to launch in the next few months and the added support will help expedite these valuable additions to our platform,” Odle said. “One of the features is an enhanced menu that will blow our user base away.”

NUGL’s user and profile base of listings and brands is growing fast with dispensaries, strains, doctors, lawyers, service professionals, vape shops, hydro stores and brands being added daily. NUGL has recently expanded outside of California and will continue to methodically market in each state.

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.

$FRSX Looks to Lead Autonomous Vehicle Race with Merger and Series of Private Placements

Foresight sets primary goal to sell prototype systems of QuadSight, its multi-spectral vision system for autonomous vehicles
The company looks to establish mutual cooperation with key clients in automotive industry
Foresight moves forward with plans to sell its Eyes-On automotive vision system to a leading Israeli vehicle importer
Global autonomous vehicle market expected to reach $54.23 billion by 2026

While 2017 was the year of the electric vehicle, 2018 is slated to be the year of autonomy. Elon Musk predicted a fully autonomous Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) model by 2018, and General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) is slated to put its version of a fully autonomous car into production in 2019 (http://nnw.fm/8dcGM) (http://nnw.fm/S0kKL). The global autonomous vehicle market is expected to reach $54.23 billion by 2026 (http://nnw.fm/qh9F0). Well positioned to take advantage of the upcoming autonomous vehicle boom is Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: FRSX) (TASE: FRSX), a technological innovator in automotive vision systems and driver assistance technology working to solve the complex nuances of autonomous driving.

Foresight creates products and solutions designed to drive the future of the semi- and fully-autonomous vehicle industry. The company was first conceptualized as a spin-off of major shareholder Magna B.S.P., an Israeli company that has provided innovative homeland security and surveillance technology solutions for the last 20 years. Foresight now uses the same technology to power two of its unique solutions: QuadSight and Eyes-On. Foresight’s third solution, EyeNet, is a cellular-based V2X accident prevention system.

Foresight recently signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with a leading importer of vehicles to Israel for the sale of its Eyes-On system for aftermarket configuration. As a first step, Foresight and the importer will carry out a pilot project using a beta version of the Eyes-On system during which the system will be integrated into a number of models from the importer’s fleet of vehicles. The MOU could potentially see the importer order 21,000 Eyes-On systems over three years. Eyes-On is an advanced driver assistance system (“ADAS”) that uses two cameras and stereoscopic technology to detect potential obstacles with a very high degree of accuracy. Stereoscopic technology uses two synchronized cameras to imitate human depth perception. Eyes-On is available as both an OEM and a retrofit solution.

Foresight’s focus for 2018 is QuadSight, according to a recent interview given by VP of Business Development Doron Cohadier. QuadSight is a multi-spectral vision system that uses four cameras (two visible light and two infrared cameras) to provide safety in all weather and lighting conditions, including extreme weather situations. One of Foresight’s main goals for this year is the sale of several QuadSight prototype systems. Foresight recently sold a couple of these prototype systems.

“These prototype systems will allow us to be in connection with various key stakeholders within the automotive industry at an early stage,” Cohadier explained in a news release. “And following that, we want to establish mutual cooperation with these key clients in the automotive industry.”

Foresight’s operates as a holding company with three pillars under it: Foresight Automotive Ltd., Eye-Net and Rail Vision. Foresight Automotive is dedicated to developing advanced accident prevention systems and solutions based on vision systems and stereoscopic technology, while EyeNet is focused on development of the EyeNet V2X (vehicle-to-everything) cellular-based accident prevention system that provides real-time pre-collision alerts to vehicles and pedestrians using smartphones and cellular networks. Rail Vision, of which Foresight has 35 percent equity, develops advanced systems for railway safety.

Another large goal for Foresight in 2018 is to complete the spinoff and merger of Eye-Net with Israeli company Tamda Ltd. (TASE: TMDA). The two companies signed a merger agreement in early May that will see Foresight establish a wholly owned subsidiary. Foresight will then transfer to the subsidiary all of Foresight’s rights and intellectual property for Eye-Net for no consideration. Upon closure of the merger, Foresight has agreed to transfer 100 percent of the share capital of the newly-created subsidiary to Tamda in exchange for approximately 74.49 percent of Tamda’s share capital as of the closing date of the transaction.

Foresight is well-positioned to reach these goals. The company recently attracted private placement agreements from several leading Israeli institutional investors. Harel Insurance invested $5.5 million, while Meitav Dash Group invested $4.1 million and Psagot Investment House another $1.4 million.

Cohadier also spoke to Foresight’s strong strategic positioning, saying “At the end of the day, an autonomous vehicle will have a few technologies on them for sensors for redundancy purposes. Basically, there won’t be one winning technology, there will be quite a few. But what we understood is vision will always be needed. Vision is the only sensor that can actually identify lanes, traffic signs, traffic lights, colours… If vision will always be needed and you require [it], you might as well have the best vision systems. We want to provide the market with the best vision systems.”

$TORC Announces Positive Topline Results in Phase 2b Trial of RTB101

— Statistically significant and clinically meaningful 30.6% reduction in the percentage of patients with one or more laboratory-confirmed respiratory tract infections (RTIs), the primary endpoint of the trial, in the RTB101 10 mg once daily cohort compared to the placebo cohort —

— Statistically significant 68.4% reduction in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed RTIs in the pre-specified analysis of asthma patients 65 years and older treated with RTB101 10 mg once daily —

— Statistically significant 66.7% reduction in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed RTIs in the pre-specified analysis of patients 85 years and older treated with RTB101 10 mg once daily —

— All doses were well-tolerated; RTB101 10 mg once daily had a comparable safety profile to placebo —

— The Phase 2b trial successfully identified a dose and patient populations with high unmet need for upcoming pivotal trials —

— Conference call 8:30 AM Eastern Time today —

BOSTON, July 25, 2018 — resTORbio, Inc. (Nasdaq:TORC) today announced positive topline results from its dose-ranging Phase 2b clinical trial that enrolled 652 elderly patients at increased risk of morbidity and mortality associated with respiratory tract infections (RTIs). In this trial, RTB101, an oral, selective, and potent inhibitor of target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1), demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the percentage of patients with one or more laboratory-confirmed RTIs during the 16-week treatment period compared to placebo, the primary endpoint of the study, with the 10 mg once daily dose. Greater TORC1 inhibition with RTB101 10 mg in combination with everolimus 0.1 mg did not meet the primary endpoint, suggesting that that less TORC1 inhibition with RTB101 10 mg once daily may have greater benefit in high-risk elderly patients.

“This Phase 2b has successfully defined a dose, RTB101 10 mg once daily, to be evaluated in future pivotal studies. That dose led to a statistically significant decrease in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed RTIs and was well-tolerated in the high-risk elderly patients enrolled in the Phase 2b study. We have also identified patient populations that were particularly high responders,” said Joan Mannick, M.D., Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of resTORbio. “We believe the findings of this trial provide us with a clear path forward for pursuing a pivotal program for RTB101 to reduce the incidence of RTIs in high-risk elderly patients. We look forward to working closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory agencies on this program.”

“The majority of RTIs requiring hospitalizations in the very elderly and the majority of asthma exacerbations are caused by viruses for which there are currently no approved therapies,” said Professor Sebastian Johnston, Professor of Respiratory Medicine and Allergy at the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London. “The magnitude of reduction in the incidence of laboratory-confirmed RTIs observed with RTB101 suggests that, if successfully developed and approved, RTB101 may be a new promising treatment for the very elderly and elderly patients with asthma who are at high risk of morbidity and mortality associated with RTIs.”

“The primary endpoint of this Phase 2b study, the percentage of patients with laboratory-confirmed RTIs, was chosen based on feedback from the FDA, and we look forward to discussing these results at our end of Phase 2 meeting with the agency,” said Chen Schor, Co-Founder, President and CEO of resTORbio. “RTIs are the fourth leading cause of hospitalization in patients 65 years and older, and the second leading cause of hospitalization in patients 85 years and older in the U.S. We are committed to helping the millions of elderly patients at high risk of morbidity and mortality due to RTIs.”

The Phase 2b trial was a two-part, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted during the winter cold and flu season in the southern hemisphere (Part 1) and northern hemisphere (Part 2). Patients enrolled were those at increased risk of morbidity and mortality from RTIs including patients who were: (i) 85 years of age or older, or (ii) 65 years of age or older with asthma, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or current smokers. The doses investigated in Part 1 were RTB101 5 mg and RTB101 10 mg once daily. The doses investigated in Part 2 were RTB101 10 mg once daily, RTB101 10 mg twice daily and RTB101 10 mg in combination with everolimus 0.1 mg once daily.

The following was observed in an analysis of the primary endpoint:

A 30.6% decrease relative to placebo in the percentage of all patients treated with RTB101 10 mg once daily who developed one or more laboratory-confirmed RTIs (p=0.026)
A 20.6% decrease relative to placebo in the percentage of all patients treated with RTB101 5 mg once daily who developed one or more laboratory-confirmed RTIs (p=0.108)
No decrease relative to placebo in the percentage of patients treated with either RTB101 10 mg twice daily or the combination of RTB101 10 mg + everolimus 0.1 mg once daily who developed one or more laboratory-confirmed RTIs, suggesting that less TORC1 inhibition with RTB101 10 mg once daily may have greater benefit in high-risk elderly patients

To better understand the activity observed in the RTB101 10 mg once daily cohort, a pre-specified analysis of each patient subgroup enrolled in the study was conducted. The following decreases in the percentage of patients with laboratory-confirmed RTIs were observed in the RTB101 10 mg once daily cohort as compared to the placebo cohort:

A 68.4% decrease in all asthma patients (p=0.0002)
A 66.7% decrease in all patients 85 years of age and older (p=0.007)
A 26.9% decrease in all T2DM patients (p=0.020)
No decrease was observed in either COPD patients or current smokers; a 42.0% decrease in all patients was observed when excluding patients with COPD (p=0.002) and a 43.9% decrease in all patients was observed when excluding current smokers (p=0.001)

All doses were observed to be well-tolerated. Data from the RTB101 10 mg once daily cohort are as follows: Adverse events (AEs) were balanced between the RTB101 10 mg once daily and placebo treatment groups. 4.5% of subjects in the RTB101 10 mg once daily cohort and 7.2% of subjects in the placebo cohort had a serious adverse event, none of which were considered related to study drug. 4.5% of subjects in the RTB101 10 mg once daily cohort and 6.1% of subjects in the placebo cohort discontinued study drug due to an AE. All AEs were mild or moderate except for 11 severe AEs in the RTB101 10 mg once daily cohort and 22 severe AEs in the placebo cohort.

This Phase 2b is the second study in which RTB101 10 mg once daily was observed to be well-tolerated and reduce the incidence of RTIs in the elderly. Together, these studies enrolled more than 900 elderly people.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

resTORbio management will host a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss the results of the Phase 2b trial. To participate in the conference call, please dial (877) 356-9149 (domestic) or (629) 228-0720 (international) and refer to conference ID 3181638. A live webcast of the call can be accessed in the “Investors” section of the Company’s website at www.restorbio.com. An archived webcast recording will be available on the resTORbio website beginning approximately two hours after the call.

Phase 2b Trial Design

The purpose of the exploratory dose-finding, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center Phase 2b clinical trial was to determine if RTB101 alone or in combination with everolimus decreased the incidence of RTIs in high-risk elderly patients, as well as to evaluate safety and tolerability alone or in combination with everolimus, to support dose selection for pivotal trials.

The study enrolled 652 patients at increased risk of morbidity and mortality from RTIs including patients who were: (i) 85 years of age or older, or (ii) 65 years of age or older with asthma, T2DM, COPD, or current smokers. The study consisted of two parts. Part 1 was conducted during the winter cold and flu season in the southern hemisphere and 179 elderly patients were randomized to receive either placebo, RTB101 5 mg or RTB101 10 mg once daily. At the end of Part 1, an interim analysis was conducted by an unblinded data monitoring committee who selected the RTB101 10 mg dose to move forward into Part 2 of the study. Part 2 was conducted during the winter cold and flu season in the northern hemisphere and 473 elderly patients were randomized to receive either placebo, RTB101 10 mg once daily, RTB101 10 mg twice daily, or RTB101 10 mg in combination with everolimus 0.1 mg once daily. All patients were treated with study drug for 16 weeks, and then were followed for an additional eight weeks off study drug.

The primary endpoint of the trial was a reduction, as compared to placebo, in the percentage of patients with one or more laboratory-confirmed RTIs during the 16 weeks of study drug treatment. A pre-specified exploratory endpoint was a reduction, as compared to placebo, in the percentage of patients with one or more laboratory-confirmed RTIs in each of the patient subgroups (≥ 85 years of age, ≥ 65 years of age with asthma, COPD, T2DM, or current smokers).

Additional information about the study [NCT03373903] can be obtained at www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

About Respiratory Tract Infections

The reduced ability of the aging immune system to effectively detect and fight infections results in increased susceptibility of the elderly to RTIs. In the U.S., RTIs are the fourth leading cause of hospitalizations and seventh leading cause of death in people age 65 years and older. Additionally, the majority of asthma exacerbations are caused by RTIs, and the majority of RTIs are caused by viruses for which there are no currently approved therapies.

A survey was conducted by resTORbio of 100 physicians in the U.S. that treat approximately 25,000 patients aged 65 years or older monthly. Depending on their specialty, the physicians surveyed estimated that they would prescribe a therapeutic that reduced the incidence of laboratory-confirmed RTIs by 25% to approximately 30-50% of their high-risk elderly patients.

$TGODF Spin Off Provides Cannabis Investors with Ground Floor Opportunity

SEATTLE, July 25, 2018 — CFN Media Group (“CFN Media”), the leading agency and financial media network dedicated to the North American cannabis industry, announces publication of an article covering The Green Organic Dutchman Ltd.’s (TSX:TGOD) (OTCQX:TGODF) recently proposed spin off of a company focused on investments and acquisitions. TGOD raised more than C$115 million in an initial public offering at C$3.65 about three months ago. Since then, the stock soared to a high of C$7.87 before settling in the C$6.00 range over the past few weeks, netting investors a return of over 60 percent (assuming a sell price of $6) in less than six months. Investors that missed the original IPO may have another opportunity in the form of a planned spin off during the fourth quarter of this year.

Invest Alongside Management and Insiders in a Seed Round

The same team behind The Green Organic Dutchman’s successful IPO plans to create a new company, TGOD Acquisitions, that will be spun off as a special dividend providing TGOD shareholders the ability to purchase a Unit in TGOD Acquisitions for $0.50. Management believes that the new IPO presents investors with a unique opportunity to tap into TGOD’s significant expertise and participate at a seed level that’s typically reserved for management, employees, close friends and family.

“This is an incredible opportunity for TGOD to transfer expertise and monetize our proprietary knowledge from the Canadian marketplace,” said TGOD CEO Brian Athaide. “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 Acquisition on the Canadian Securities Exchange.”

The new company will focus on strategic acquisitions and worldwide opportunities that are not core to TGOD’s own business in Canada. With its listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange the new company will be permitted to participate in the United States cannabis industry, which is off-limits for companies that are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. It could also participate in other markets around the world, including growing European markets.

A Closer Look at the Transaction

The Green Organic Dutchman will distribute a warrant to acquire a TGOD Acquisitions unit for $0.50 to its shareholders. Each unit will consist of one share plus an additional warrant that will be triggered by a subsequent financing following the initial offering. The distribution will be paid on the basis of one warrant for every 6.67 TGOD shares owned on the record date, which will be fixed by the board of directors over the near-term.

The only way to increase exposure to TGOD Acquisitions is through an increased position in TGOD common shares prior to the record date, that has yet to be set.

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

Units that aren’t purchased by investors will be backstopped by TGOD management. Following the completion of the spin off, TGOD Acquisitions will operate at arm’s length to TGOD and will have an independent board of directors and management team. The details of the new board and management team will be announced with the filing of materials at a special meeting of TGOD shareholders to approve the transaction.

Watch a recent executive interview here.

TGOD VP of Investor Relations, Danny Brody, gives an overview of the company’s current position in the legal cannabis market as a certified organic producer. He also discusses the company’s ambitious international plans, and TGOD’s positioning in the emerging edibles and beverages space. Filmed at the O’Cannabiz Expo in Toronto, June 8, 2018.

Looking Ahead

The Green Organic Dutchman Ltd.’s (TSX:TGOD) plans to spin off TGOD Acquisitions could generate tremendous value for shareholders. Rather than expanding its own scope, the company is providing its shareholders with an opportunity to invest in an internationally-focused cannabis company that leverages the same intrinsic value. TGOD shareholders can then focus on a pureplay in the Canadian market.

$SNNVF Vertically Integrated Structure Strengthened by Several Subsidiaries

Operating in world’s two largest cannabis markets – California and Canada
Vertically integrated structure extracts value along the supply chain
Pre-production sales strategy mitigates risk

What can you give a company, like Vancouver, British Columbia-based Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF), that seems to have everything? For starters, this vertically-integrated producer of medical and recreational cannabis has a presence in California and Canada, the world’s two largest cannabis markets. Through several wholly-owned subsidiaries, it has operations in cannabis grow facilities, cannabis extraction facilities, medical cannabis clinics and the cannabis white label business. Moreover, a large part of its estimated total output for the next two years has already been sold as pre-production, even before the completion of grow facilities – a sure signal of customer trust. Even though its grow activities are yet to make a contribution, Sunniva is already generating revenue. With all that in place, this is a company whose future looks as bright as its name, which is derived from an old English word meaning ‘gift of the sun’.

Sunniva is into large-scale low-cost production. Through subsidiary CP Logistics, the company is close to completing a cGMP-compliant greenhouse facility in Cathedral City, California, that will have an estimated annual output cannabis capacity of 100,000 kilos. cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) regulations are mandated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure proper design, monitoring and control of manufacturing processes and facilities. Phase 1 of the project involves the development of a 325,000 square foot greenhouse capable of producing 60,000 kilos per year of dry cannabis at capacity with operations commencing in Q4 2018. Approximately 30 percent of initial production has been committed for conversion to oils and extracts. Phase 2 is expected to increase the greenhouse space by 164,000 square feet and increase output capacity by some 40,000 kilos per year.

The location and design choices were made with a focus on low-cost production in mind. The abundant sunlight in California will reduce energy costs, while the highly automated operations will ensure the most efficient production processes are employed. In California also, close to its Cathedral City Campus, Sunniva is operating an extraction facility, through subsidiary CP Logistics. The Sun Oil extraction facility, which has an oils and extracts manufacturing license, is currently being upgraded with additional equipment (http://nnw.fm/o6mFk).

Furthermore, Sunniva recently broke ground at a recently acquired facility, in Canada, with similar production capacity, and work is now continuing at that 126-acre site in Okanagan Falls, British Columbia. The 740,000 square foot facility will have an estimated output capacity of 100,000 kilos annually and is expected to become operational in Q1 2019. About 75 percent of its output will be pre-sold on a wholesale basis (http://nnw.fm/x5YQd).

Natural Health Services Ltd. is a network of medical cannabis clinics in Canada that offers patients access to medical practitioners specializing in the endocannabinoid system. This Sunniva subsidiary also connects patients with licensed producers through its SPARK proprietary software system, allowing Sunniva to capture revenue from patient purchases. As soon as the facilities become operational, Sunniva intends to start marketing its own produced cannabis The network currently has over 95,000 patients (over one-third of all Canadian medical cannabis patients), and it has agreements in place with 27 licensed producers.

Sunniva’s seed-to-sale, vertically integrated structure is also bolstered by its Full Scale Distributers (FSD) subsidiary, which markets vaporizers and accessories under the Vapor Connoisseur brand. FSD also provides white label packaging and labelling services to over 80 brands in North America, making it a clear leader in the space. It will design custom vapor hardware for any specification of cannabis oil or concentrate. Now, with the addition of the Sun Oil Facility, customers can also have their extraction and processing done; cartridges can be filled, assembled, labeled and packaged according to their own standards and branding, as well as shipped to their final destinations.

The company recently announced voting results of the Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on June 27, 2018 (http://nnw.fm/y23GS).

$FRSX Self-Driving & EVs Combining to Make the Cars of the Future

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Self-driving and electric cars are poised to combine production efforts as both technologies mature.

Investment in self-driving vehicles is growing, leading to the emergence of specialist companies.
Electric cars are also on the rise, supported by the infrastructure of apps and charging points.
Both engineering and human factors suggest that these technologies are likely to combine.
Support from the Chinese government is pushing these technologies forward in one of the world’s most important markets.

The growth of advanced automotive technology has led to the rise of companies such as Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: FRSX) (TASE: FRSX) (FRSX Profile), an innovator in advanced vision sensor systems for assistant driving, semi and fully autonomous vehicles. Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) is pairing sensor technology with electric motor vehicles and has recently found a foothold in China. General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) will start mass production of self-driving vehicles next year and has been pushing its latest electric SUV to the Chinese market. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) is developing a sophisticated self-driving system that fuses multiple sensor inputs. And Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) has joined the sector by acquiring Mobileye, bringing its technological clout to sensor technology.

Two Trends Becoming One

Two important trends in car design have been emerging over the past 20 years. One is the shift toward electric vehicles. Driven by a desire for cleaner air, better health and a more sustainable planet, designers have been creating vehicles that can reduce pollution by running on electricity instead of gas.

The other trend is a shift toward autonomous vehicles. These self-driving cars will not only save travelers from the laboriousness of driving, they are also expected to reduce traffic accidents and increase the efficiency of traffic flows by removing human error from decision-making on the road. For years, these two developments have existed in parallel. Now they’re coming together.

Parallel Developments

Though many people still see self-driving cars as science fiction dreams, such vehicles are coming close to reality. Big players such as Tesla and General Motors are pushing forward with this technology, showing their faith in the market. Alongside them, a wealth of smaller specialist businesses, including Foresight Autonomous Holdings (NASDAQ: FRSX) (TASE: FRSX), are emerging to provide critical components.

Foresight’s growth provides an example of how the market has matured. Founded in 2015, the company designs, develops and commercializes vision sensor systems for assistant driving, semi and fully autonomous vehicles. These systems include sensors, processors and software that allow a vehicle to make sense of that information. As explained in a CNBC article on “What Driving Will Look Like in 2028,” these systems serve as the eyes of a self-driving vehicle and will be vital to the automated-driving industry’s success. There’s enough interest in automated driving not only to support a specialist company such as Foresight but to also see it flourish.

Meanwhile, electric cars are already on the streets in commercial production. Hybrids have become the first choice of environmentally conscious drivers. Charging points are springing up in cities across the world, with specialist apps available to help drivers find charging points. While both sectors are diversifying individually, with specialist services such as these apps and Foresight’s passive sensors, they are also growing closer together.

Related Developments

Analysis by Lux research indicates that battery-powered engines and sensor-equipped self-driving vehicle manufacturing will almost inevitably merge with each other. There are practical engineering reasons for this, tied to the batteries of electric vehicles. It will be far easier for a self-driving car to drive into a wireless charging station than to refuel at a gas station where a human being must be available to pump gas.

In addition, the voltage and storage capacity of an electrical vehicle’s battery are better suited than the capacity of a conventional fossil fuel-powered car’s battery for sustaining self-driving equipment such as Foresight’s sensors and processors. This gives designers more freedom to create the best possible sensor and processing technology for self-driving vehicles.

Automated driving could help to solve one of the biggest drawbacks of electric cars: driving distance ranges. Automated driving leads to more efficient driving, reducing a vehicle’s fuel consumption and allowing electric cars to travel farther before they need to recharge.

The behavior of consumers will also play a part in this merging trend. Early adopters who pay a high price for Tesla’s electric cars are more likely to try out other innovations, such as the self-driving vehicles that use vision sensors like Foresight’s. They will want to see these features combined, and manufacturers will be keen to fulfill this request because winning the support of this group is vital to the success of any product.

Both technologies are expected to mature enough for mainstream use around the same time. They are forecast to hit the mass market together, and so it will make commercial sense to combine them.

And finally, the behavior of governments will push the technologies together. The increased safety of self-driving vehicles will lead governments to encourage implementation of the vehicles. Many governments are already encouraging the use of electric cars over vehicles that use petroleum or diesel. As legislation enforces these changes, manufacturers will have to adopt both technologies.

Big in China

China is emerging as the dominant economic power of the 21st century, and therefore, the adoption of these technologies in that country will be critical. China’s leaders are eager to be at the forefront of emerging technologies. This is reflected in the way they have encouraged the country’s car manufacturers to adopt electric engines. Chinese manufacturers BAIC and Geely have both made recent pushes in this direction, while Chinese tech giant Baidu is accelerating the development of its self-driving vehicle platform.

This is good news for many tech companies outside of China, as it creates opportunities to sell self-driving and electric car technology in a rapidly growing market. A leading global Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer has already ordered a prototype of QuadSight vision system. If that company’s evaluation of QuadSight is positive, the system may then be built into a new range of autonomous electric vehicles, putting Foresight at the heart of these combined systems.

The Road to Electric and Automation

As interest in electric and automated vehicles grows, companies are tackling the resulting challenges in a range of different ways.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) is already exploring both self-driving vehicles and electrics and, therefore, is one of the front-runners in the race to get an automated electric car to market. Its self-driving systems have suffered some setbacks in field testing as a result of accidents on the road, but the company has also scored some notable successes. Tesla recently reached a deal with the Chinese government to set up a factory in China, giving it access to that large and growing market. With capacity to produce 500,000 cars per year, this could easily become one of the most important car manufacturing plants in the world.

Established automotive giants are adapting to the changing consumer climate. General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) has announced that it will start mass production of a self-driving car for the first time next year at a plant in the United States. The company also has an eye on the Chinese market, where it recently showed off its latest electric car design for the first time. The Buick Enspire SUV went on display at Auto China 2018 in Beijing in April, drawing attention with its powerful and fast-charging technology.

Always striving to be at the forefront of technology, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been working on both electric and self-driving cars. Secrecy shrouds much of its work, but it is generally known that the company started on an electric car in 2014 before scaling back its operations to focus on self-driving systems for use with other manufacturers. A recent legal case has revealed some details about what Apple is doing, including fusing multiple inputs into a single sensor system to create a more sophisticated self-driving vehicle.

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC), another company not known for working with cars, has become a significant player through its recent acquisition of Mobileye. This subsidiary specializes in the production of advanced driver assistance systems, using sensors and processors to help people drive more safely and efficiently. This is the sort of technology that has laid the groundwork for self-driving and that is now being utilized in automatic vehicle systems.

Both self-driving and electric vehicles are developing quickly, thanks to the efforts of a growing number of companies. The two sectors appear certain to combine, giving both spaces a better chance to thrive. The adoption of both types of vehicles in China will only add to the momentum, increasing the chances that today’s drivers may live to see the cars of the future.

$RIOT P2P Cryptocurrency Marketplaces Draw Huge Interest From Bitcoin Traders

Palm Beach FL – July 24, 2018 – Bitcoin prices continue to rise after gaining nearly 15%, or $970 million, over a two week period. Publicly traded cryptocurrency companies are once again in the spotlight with interest in the sector renewed after the lengthy selloff that followed the all-time highs achieved throughout Q4 2017. These recent price changes have seen companies like HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSX-V:HIVE) (OTC:HVBTF), Hashchain Technology Inc. (TSX-V:KASH) (OTC:HSSHF), Global Blockchain Technologies Corp. (CSE:BLOC) (OTC:BLKCF), Riot Blockchain Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT) and AXS Blockchain Solutions Inc. (CSE:BAXS) drastically increase their market caps over that same period. While the majority of these companies heavily focus on cryptocurrency mining, new innovations within the industry, like Peer-to-Peer (P2P) marketplaces, are drawing significant investment from some of the sector’s largest companies.

Centralized exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, and others have provided access to the cryptocurrency markets during the industry’s formative years. As these exchanges continue to grow, so too do their fee structures, internal regulations, and other prohibitive measures that make it difficult for investors to take part in the cryptocurrency markets. In 2017, Coinbase received a valuation of $1.6 billion when they raised $100 million, with that number reaching as high as $8 billion in 2018.

Where the popular centralized exchanges leverage their size to provide access to the crypto markets, this access comes with a price. Transactions are completed through the exchanges with no interaction between buyers and sellers, fees are high and continue to grow, and withdrawing funds can take several days to weeks. These kinds of barriers are unattractive to traders who want to trade cryptos with minimal space restrictions.

The Growing Popularity of P2P Marketplaces

Peer-to-peer marketplaces have gained traction as reliable alternatives to major centralized exchanges like Coinbase and Binance. Recently Riot Blockchain Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT) purchased 12.5% of Coinsquare (CEX) at a valuation of CAD$430 million, adding another strategic partnership to a growing roster of joint ventures.

AXS Blockchain Solutions Inc. (CSE:BAXS), a leading blockchain solutions company, has signed a letter of intent with Blockchain Foundry to develop a new P2P marketplace that will offer safety, security, transparency, and a seamless experience as part of its core offering.

Decentralized P2P marketplaces like Paxful and Localbitcoin offer a more personalized experience than some of the larger exchanges by eliminating the need for intermediary parties. According to Paxful co-founder’s Ray Youssef and Artur Schaback, their marketplace processed as many as 8,000 Bitcoin transactions per day in 2016. However, P2P exchanges like Paxful sacrifice basic security in favor of anonymity by avoiding the use of basic verification systems like KYC. This exposes investors to additional risks that can easily be avoided by seeking out safer marketplaces to trade on.

ZUBX P2P Marketplace – Creating a Centralized P2P Crypto Marketplace

Transparency is the backbone of blockchain technology. ZUBX will be developed by Blockchain Foundry upon signing of the development agreement. Their development team was responsible for creating Syscoin, a token that is backed by technology that can process as many as 300,000 transactions per second, allows for instant asset transfers, and functions much like the eBay of P2P marketplaces.

The ZUBX P2P marketplace embraces the new P2P movement and will be offering a personalized trading experience that will include many of the security features that traders have come to expect from some of the major exchanges, but are unable to get from other P2P marketplaces. These features include:

Instant messaging capabilities that allow users to communicate and structure the terms of any deal before they take place. Determine if a specific buyer or seller is someone that you actually want to trade with.
Multi-coin support that will enable users to trade Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum. Additional coins may be added in future updates.
Escrow service. Fiat and cryptocurrency validation to protect buyers and sellers.
Unparalleled privacy and security. ZUBX holds all crypto assets in cold storage using multi-signature wallets and 2FA authentication in order to protect assets that are being traded in our marketplace. You can trade knowing that sellers actually have the coins they are selling because we verify the existence of a seller’s cryptocurrencies before any trade can take place.
AML (anti-money laundering) and KYC (know your customer) verification in order to verify the legitimacy of users and to create a transparent trading experience.
Fast withdrawals that are designed to allow users to instantly withdraw their money using debit cards that actually work. Withdraw funds from anywhere where a debit card is accepted.
A comprehensive seller rating system that lets you assess the reputation of any buyer or seller that you are thinking of trading with. Seller ratings will be validated by the blockchain, providing buyers with a useful feedback tool to grade the quality of a seller.

Combining all of these features will create one of the safest and most efficient P2P crypto marketplaces to date. With Blockchain Foundry potentially heading the development of ZUBX, AXS Blockchain Solutions will be building the next generation of P2P marketplaces that provides a decentralized experience that includes the many features crypto traders want from centralized exchanges like Coinbase and Binance. Simple features such as instant messaging and ratings are attractive to traders who are interested in learning what type of people they are dealing with when engaging in a transaction. All trades on the ZUBX platform will be secure due to the fact that most of their funds are held in cold storage and require 2FA authentication. Not only does this create a secure trading experience for users, but it ensures that buyers know that the sellers actually have the cryptocurrencies they are trying to sell.

Companies Actively Investing in the Cryptocurrency Space

Companies such as HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSX.V:HIVE) (OTCPK:HVBTF) are working to bridge the gap between cryptocurrency and traditional financial institutions. The company has partnered exclusively with Genesis Mining to facilitate easy and affordable mining services for customers of varying financial backgrounds. By leveraging low cost renewable energy, HIVE hopes to bring cryptocurrency mining to the masses.

Newcomers in the cryptocurrency mining space, Hashchain Technology Inc. (TSX.V:KASH) (OTCQB:HSSHF), offer a variety of cryptocurrency mining services including hosted on-site mining, DASH Masternode hosting, and Node40 Balance accounting. The company’s proprietary software runs 24/7 to ensure safe and stable mining operating at full efficiency.

Riot Blockchain Inc. (NASDAQ:RIOT) aims to gain exposure in the cryptocurrency industry by offering a diversity of blockchain-based services, joint ventures, and targeted investments. The company’s acquisition of Coinsquare, a leading Canadian cryptocurrency exchange, is their attempt to further establish their presence in a burgeoning industry.

Global Blockchain Technologies Corp. (CSE:BLOC) (OTCPK:BLKCF) are working to facilitate adoption in the cryptocurrency space by enabling traditional investors to invest in a basket of holdings without a deep technological understanding of the industry. Global Blockchain hopes to become the first vertically integrated originator and manager of digital currencies.

P2P Exchanges To Challenge Centralized Competitors

With the launch of ZUBX, major exchanges are poised to lose users as they will not be able to compete with a P2P marketplace that offers the same level as security that they do. When safety, security, and transparency are equal, users will always favor the platform that offers cheaper fees, faster transaction times, and the ability to withdraw your funds as quickly as possible. ZUBX promises to offer all of these things and more in order to create a better crypto trading experience for users that want to trade, invest, hedge, and diversify their portfolios.

$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.

Any forward-looking statement made in this press release speaks only as of the date hereof. Factors or events that could cause ReWalk’s actual results to differ from the statements contained herein may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for ReWalk to predict all of them. Except as required by law, ReWalk undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

$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.

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.”

$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.

$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.”
