• MORE Act passed by House, now moves to Senate for consideration
• Bill would “reverse decades of injustices waged on Americans, and especially those from communities of color,” says House Judiciary chair
• American Cannabis Partners operates in two states, Michigan and California, where cannabis has been legalized

The government is making moves once again to remove cannabis from the list of banned controlled substances, with the U.S. House of Representatives passage of the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (“MORE”) Act (https://ibn.fm/SK1DX). The bill now moves to the Senate, and cannabis companies such as American Cannabis Partners (“ACP”) will be watching closely to see what happens next. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the MORE Act before, a “Forbes” article reported, a bill that would end the federal prohibition on cannabis by removing it from the list of banned controlled substances. The article noted that the MORE Act was introduced by House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat from New York, and passed the House with 220 “yea” votes to 204 “nay” votes. “Cannabis is legal for adult use in 19 states and for medical use in 36 states,” the article reports. “This bill would end the federal ban but leave legalization up to the states. The legal industry generated $25 billion in sales last year, a 43% increase over 2020, and is expected to hit $65 billion in 2030. “During his opening statement, Nadler said that the bill, if made into law, would reverse decades of injustices waged on Americans, and especially those from communities of color,” the article continued. “‘Whatever one’s views are on the use of marijuana for recreational or medicinal use, the policy of arrest, prosecution and incarceration at the federal level has proven both unwise and unjust,’ Nadler said. ‘For far too long, we have treated marijuana as a criminal justice problem, instead of as a matter of personal choice and public health.’” During debate on the bill, Troy Carter, a Democrat from Louisiana, stated that 91% of Americans want some form of cannabis to be legal and that there are more important priorities cops should be focused on. Carter noted that “law enforcement cannot afford to chase small pot offenders when violent crime is on the rise nationwide. . . . The war on marijuana is a costly relic of the past.” American Cannabis Partners, along with other companies operating in the cannabis space, clearly has a vested interest in the outcome of this legislation. ACP operates in two states, Michigan and California, where cannabis has been legalized. In addition, the company is in the process of exploring land acquisition and project development strategies for expanding operations to additional states. ACP is focused on three business segments: real estate, acquisition and development of proprietary assets, and ongoing cultivation operations. Led by a seasoned management team with more than three decades of canna-business experience, ACP is guided by its strategy to capture opportunities in real estate and licensing in states that have recently passed cannabis legalization legislation, thereby equipping the company to capitalize on possible future federal interstate commerce opportunities.

• Renewables are emerging as energy source that can secure limitless supply while reducing consumption of fossil fuels, dependence on exhaustible sources, and negative impact of rising oil costs
• Among them, solar could have essential role; it is world’s most reliable, abundant source of green power, providing cheapest electricity in history
• GeoSolar set to benefit as solar emerges as one of most significant energy sources– one that could generate half of world’s total by 2050

GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”), a Colorado-based climate technology company disrupting the heating, cooling, and powering of homes, is set to benefit amid the rise of solar power as a potentially largest source of electricity in the world. With its patent-pending solution that combines solar power, geothermal, and other clean energy technologies into one integrated system, GeoSolar allows societies to bypass the use of fossil fuels and make a real impact in the global efforts to reduce air pollution. Its GeoSolarPlus technology appears to hit the energy sweet spot amid the worldwide push for clean electrification — it generates enough clean energy to heat, cool, power, and purify homes with little or no carbon emissions and utility bills. Against the backdrop of the global energy crisis and the associated upswing in energy costs, renewable energy could be essential in alleviating pressures from surging power prices. As a result, the role of renewable energy has been increasing at an accelerated rate. Although not exempt from the global upward trend, renewables remain the cheapest option in most markets. With their potential to lock in those prices for years, they could be a valuable source of economic relief (https://ibn.fm/LtenN). But among all types of renewable energy sources, solar could be an optimal response to soaring energy prices as inflation runs hot around the world. It is the world’s most reliable, abundant source of green power — and the one providing the cheapest electricity in history. It is also a more affordable technology than coal and gas in most of the major countries. As a result, some experts expect that by 2050, solar power could become the world’s largest source of electricity (https://ibn.fm/29uNg). Solar could drop to a third or less of current costs by that time, which, combined with more efficient panels, could drive the uptake. With a vast potential reward for those who shift to the green energy economy, solar could generate half of the world’s electricity by 2050 (https://ibn.fm/CkOZk). As climate change awareness accelerates in the United States and globally, homeowners increasingly realize the economic and environmental benefits of energy-efficient homes. According to the National Association of Realtors, homes with energy-efficient features are gaining popularity in the market as homeowners seek to reduce energy costs and their environmental impact. With green upgrades to their house, it is estimated that they can save from 5% to 30% on their home energy bills (https://ibn.fm/WYt4h). Still, the benefits of an energy-efficient home go beyond lower energy bills. Some green home features can also drive home value appreciation since green homes are increasingly becoming more attractive to buyers. As a result, more home buyers are choosing to purchase a house with green features. For example, the survey NAR conducted in 2022 shows that 50% of realtors assisted in transactions involving homes with green features in the last year— a steep jump compared to 32% reported over the previous year. In an environment like this, companies like GeoSolar are well-positioned to capitalize on the massive momentum the industry is gaining today. As a creator of the Smart Green™ Home system for newly built and existing residences and commercial buildings, GeoSolar is committed to delivering smart green technology for a carbon-free home. Retrofitted to existing homes or built into new developments, GeoSolarPlus helps homeowners significantly reduce – or even eliminate – utility bills and allows them to enjoy lifetime energy independence and protection from price surge and energy shortages while enabling them to decimate greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to a healthier living environment.

• FingerMotion’s launch of the mobile device protection product in the Chinese market looks to tap into an industry valued at approximately $10.6 billion annually
• The company has also partnered with an NYSE-listed insurance company looking to venture into the Chinese market and is confident that this, together with the product launch, will accelerate its revenue growth over the next 6-12 months
• Its management is also optimistic that this latest addition will help achieve the company’s goal of pushing gross margins higher, having posted a 12% gross margin in the 2022 fiscal year, up from 9% the previous year
• Martin Shen, FingerMotion’s CEO, notes that the company’s revenue currently is just the tip of the iceberg, and with the addition of the device protection program and building on the top-up and SMS services, the company is set to experience significant growth as time progresses

On July 15, 2022, FingerMotion (NASDAQ: FNGR), an evolving technology company with a core competency in mobile payment and recharge platform solutions in China, launched its mobile device protection product in the market, looking to tap into an industry valued at approximately $10.6 billion annually (https://ibn.fm/lz5xs). The launch was a bold move by the company to introduce a new offering in a sector previously limited to broken screen protection, leaving a vastly untapped market it could exploit. But, more importantly, FingerMotion was looking to take advantage of the advent of 5G in China by redefining the marketplace with its suit of next-generation, innovative product offerings for mobile carriers. This would enable it to offer enhanced protection of vital components and device trade-in programs. While appearing in an interview with the investor media outlet, Proactive, Martin Shen, FingerMotion’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), reckoned that this device protection program would be integral to accelerating the company’s revenue growth over the next 6-12 months. He also acknowledged the firm’s partnership with an NYSE-listed insurance company, which will aid in achieving the company’s short and long-term objectives (https://ibn.fm/pxcLK). “We have partnered up with a very large NYSE-listed insurance company, and are helping them get into the Chinese market as well, and we hope to launch that business very soon,” he noted. “That will really accelerate our revenue growth over the next 6-12 months,” he added. Device protection is a welcome addition to FingerMotion’s growing list of offerings comprising telecommunications products and services, SMS and MMS, big data insights, and Rich Communication Services (“RCS”). As a result, its management is confident that FingerMotion will sustain its current revenue growth trajectory, having posted a 37% growth in the previous financial year. “I think our revenue right now is really just the tip of the iceberg, just building on the top-up and the SMS (services),” noted Mr. Shen. When asked how capital-intensive the new undertaking was, Mr. Shen noted that its partners (China Mobile and China Unicom) have already built the device protection costs into their phone plans. This, he argued, makes the undertaking feasible and allows it to be an integral aspect of the company’s revenue growth over the next year. “Now with the massive onset of 5G phones, there’s a really large market in China that’s looking to change up their phones for, let’s say, 3G and 4G phones to 5G. So, as (consumers) go and get new phones, the cost of this AppleCare(-similar product) is built in. so that revenue is already there,” noted Mr. Shen. “We’re just going to be partners with the insurance company as well as with the telco. …It’s actually not that capital-intensive for us. It’s a really symbiotic relationship with these companies,” he added. Earlier in the year, Mr. Shen noted that one of the company’s key initiatives is to “Keep pushing gross margins higher.” He noted that the mobile protection program would be integral in achieving this objective, especially given that gross margins for the 2022 fiscal year stood at 12%, up from 9% the previous year (https://ibn.fm/6w7ZK). This unique device protection product, coupled with FingerMotion’s first-mover advantage, sets the company to reap big over the next couple of years, providing a grossing list of customer options and creating value for its shareholders.

• In 2021, a staggering 45 million people were at emergency levels of acute hunger
• Providing access to food, sustainable food systems are key to WFP’s vision of eradicating food insecurity and malnutrition
• GrowPods create an optimum controlled environment for growing a wide range of crops in a variety of environments and climates

With hunger on the rise again, companies and communities are working together to find realistic solutions. The world’s largest humanitarian organization, the World Food Programme (“WFP”), has identified access to food and sustainable food systems as two of eight key targets in its vision to eradicate food insecurity and malnutrition (https://ibn.fm/yXQZY). Advanced Container Technologies (OTC: ACTX), the exclusive U.S. distributor of GrowPods, environmentally controlled micro-farms that allow cultivation of ultra-clean crops all year long, believes its products may be part of that solution. “The world today is more complex and volatile than it was five years ago,” declares WFP in its 2022–2025 strategic plan. “Hunger has been on the rise since 2014. The situation deteriorated drastically in 2020, with up to 811 million people classified as chronically hungry. Across the countries where WFP operates, an estimated 283 million people needed urgent food assistance in 2021. A staggering 45 million were at emergency levels of acute hunger and more than half a million faced famine-like conditions.” The organization’s “vision for 2030” calls for the world to eradicate food insecurity and malnutrition and for national and global actors to partner together to achieve several goals including providing access to food and sustainable food systems (https://ibn.fm/RWXeg). According to WFP, turning the tide against hunger includes, in part, “sustainable consumption and production to reduce food loss and waste. ACTX’s GrowPods appear ideally aligned to these essential initiatives. Modular, stackable and mobile vertical growing environments, these game-changing micro-farms are designed to maximize yield and automation. Made from fully insulated, food-grade shipping containers, GrowPods have been modified to create an optimum controlled environment for growing a wide range of horticultural and agricultural products in a variety of environments and climates. “In a world of plenty, where enough food is produced to feed everyone on the planet, hunger should be a thing of the past,” WFP declares. “However, conflict, climate change, disasters, inequality and — most recently — the COVID-19 pandemic mean one in nine people globally is still going to bed hungry and famine looms for millions.” ACTX is pleased to join the efforts to make food sustainability both a priority and a reality by offering a way to produce multiple high-yield harvests every year with no pesticides and using fewer resources (https://ibn.fm/gNh03).

• Mullen signed a binding agreement with DelPack Logistics for up to 600 Mullen Class 2 Electric Cargo Vans
• The agreement “puts our Class 1 cargo van program front and center for last-mile delivery opportunities,” says Mullen CEO
• A recent study indicated the last-mile delivery market in North America is projected to see incremental growth of $59.81 billion between 2020 and 2025

In the competitive electric vehicle (“EV”) world, Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ: MULN) stands apart. The Southern California–based company owns and partners with several synergistic businesses to create clean and scalable electric vehicles and energy solutions. The company’s ability to reach this goal can perhaps be measured by its success, which was recently on display when Mullen inked a deal with DelPack Logistics LLC (“DPL”) for up to 600 Mullen Class 2 Electric Cargo Vans (https://ibn.fm/iKHKn). The two companies entered a binding agreement earlier this month calling for DPL, an Amazon delivery service partner, to purchase the EVs over the next 18 months; the first 300 will be ready for delivery by Nov. 30, 2022. All 600 vehicles, which will be fully homologated for the U.S. market, will include a “cabin-comfort” package featuring adjustable seats, cup holders, an infotainment system and comfortable passenger seat; they will also meet U.S. standards for airbags and safety and will carry a minimum of an 80-kilowatt-per-hour battery pack. “This agreement is a milestone for Mullen Automotive,” said Mullen CEO and chair David Michery. “DelPack is a leader in last-mile package delivery, and this agreement puts our Class 1 cargo van program front and center for last-mile delivery opportunities.” Last-mile delivery is the term for the final step in the process of delivering a product from warehouse shelf to the buyer’s door; this last step is typically the most expensive and time-consuming part of the shipping process, often representing a pain point for many companies (https://ibn.fm/6WQ7s). A recent study indicated that the last-mile delivery market in North America is projected to see an incremental growth of $59.81 billion between 2020 and 2025. “The market witnessed a YOY growth of 14.80% in 2021, and the growth momentum is expected to accelerate at a CAGR of 16% during the forecast period,” reported Technavio (https://ibn.fm/d5wQK). DelPack is committed to being an effective player in the last-mile space. The company’s priority is to bring smiles to Amazon customers while consistently outperforming expectations and providing a safe and well-compensated work environment for its valued employees. “DelPack is excited about an opportunity to take part and participate in a global green and sustainable initiative,” said DelPack partner Eugene Goldberg. Mullen’s involvement in the last-mile market is only a small piece of what the company is working to do. Mullen and its partner companies are focused on creating clean and scalable energy solutions in diverse ways. Its product lineup includes three models — the Mullen Five, Dragonfly and EV cargo vans — manufactured in state-of-the-art production facilities in the United States. Mullen has evolved over the past decade in sync with consumers and technology trends. Today, the company is dedicated to providing exciting EV options built entirely in the United States and made to fit perfectly into the American consumer’s life. Mullen strives to make EVs more accessible than ever by building an end-to-end ecosystem that takes care of all aspects of EV ownership.

• Rising electricity demands on the back of ongoing climate change is set to result in higher energy expenditures and carbon emissions in coming years
• GeoSolar Technologies have sought to address this issue through the creation of its proprietary SmartGreen(TM) Home system
• The technology will be designed to make use of geothermal, solar, and renewable energy sources to help transition households towards energy independence
• The company estimates that its technology could eventually help to reduce carbon emissions within the United States by as much as 1.9 trillion pounds per year

Deaths. Melting tarmac. Power outages. These are images which have been reproduced time and time again over recent months, the consequences of summer heatwaves which have become more intense across the world, routinely pushing temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). As temperatures soar, so too does the demand for ways to stay cool; according to the International Energy Agency, the stock of global air conditioners is set to rise by 163 percent to over 5.5 billion units by 2050 (https://ibn.fm/viKAH). In fact, the new electricity demand posed by the growing use of air conditioners over the next thirty years alone will be equivalent to the present combined electricity generation capacity of the US, EU, and Japan. GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”), a Colorado-based climate technology has sought to address the systemically unsustainable growth in energy demand through the creation of its proprietary SmartGreen(TM) Home system, a system designed to harness energy from the earth and sun to power and purify homes and automobiles without the use of fossil fuels. In 2018, U.S. energy expenditures clocked in at $3,891 per person, a remarkable figure given that it accounted for nearly 6.3 percent of GDP that year (https://ibn.fm/vu9wG). Nevertheless, that figure is set to rise even further in 2022, with annual average WTI (West Texas Intermediate) crude prices trading nearly 54 percent above their 2018 equivalent. However, energy costs quantify only one part of the energy dilemma. Approximately 20 percent of US energy-related greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions stem from heating, cooling, and powering households. To put that into context, if US households were to be classified as a country, their emissions would transform them into the world’s sixth largest GHG emitter- comparable to Brazil and larger than Germany (https://ibn.fm/8g5Ri). Moreover, and by 2050, the United States is set to add an estimated 70-129 million residents and 62-105 million new homes. With fewer than 3 percent of U.S. homes currently powered by solar energy, the environment ramifications could be unfathomable. Through their SmartGreen(TM) Home system, GeoSolar Technologies have sought to address both the issues posed by soaring energy costs as well as the growing carbon emissions crisis. GST’s technology enables a household to capture the sun’s energy to account for all its energy requirements, thereby negating the need for households to depend on utilities – or be faced with increasingly exorbitant energy bills. Furthermore, SmartGreen(TM) Home harnesses the Earth’s exterior environment to keep the home at a perfect temperature year-round, with the company’s proprietary air purifying unit ensuring that the air inside the home remains safe – an increasingly vital consideration amidst the spread of airborne viruses. With its revolutionary residential technology already installed in multiple test homes in Colorado, tests have shown that households using the SmartGreen(TM) Home system boast some of the most impressive energy efficiency ratings in the industry (https://ibn.fm/n8iJ6). GeoSolar Technologies has followed on from these trials by recently releasing estimates suggesting that if every home in America were to make use of its technology, U.S. carbon emissions would be reduced by an estimated 1.9 trillion pounds per year – a key requirement if the United States is to meet its forecast net-zero emissions ambitions by 2050. In fact, a recent statement from Marilyn Lopez, Partner and Co-Founder of TAG Collective, a company currently overseeing GST’s company’s marketing efforts for its upcoming Reg A+ offering could perhaps best sum up GeoSolar Technologies’ prowess and capabilities. “There may not be a company in the climate technology industry that is doing more in the battle against rising global temperatures.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.GeoSolarPlus.com.

• Correlate Infrastructure Partners is a portfolio-scale development and finance platform that offers a complete suite of clean energy solutions for the commercial real estate industry
• A report by the investment managers at Morgan Stanley’s Real Estate Investing (“MSREI”) arm established that sustainable practices drive the value of real estate
• Their analysis, which focused on five financial indicators – revenue, operating expenses, financing cost, leasing expenses, and property value – documented how investors can draw additional value from sustainability investments
• Correlate is enabling commercial real estate owners and investors to realize monetize benefits by financing, designing, building, and maintaining building efficiency and energy efficiency projects

According to the 2021 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction, buildings accounted for 37% of energy-related carbon dioxide (“CO2”) emissions and 36% of global energy demand in 2020. And though these figures represent a drop from 38% and 37%, respectively, in 2019, the report advised that the pandemic-driven decline is temporary since the emissions and energy demand are poised to increase with growing economic activity (https://ibn.fm/YT7sS). And with experts warning that, if left unchecked, the emissions could double by 2050 (https://ibn.fm/SMWvw), regulators, investors, nongovernmental organizations, and tenants are increasingly mounting pressure on the real estate sector to implement best practices that not only improve sustainability but also reduce greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions. As this happens, property investors like Morgan Stanley’s Real Estate Investing (“MSREI”) arm are recognizing other possible outcomes beyond the environmental benefits, and Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI) is empowering real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), investors, and commercial property owners to profitably implement the sustainable practices and enjoy these favorable monetary outcomes. In a report, the MSREI investment managers observed an emerging global trend that has seen efficiency and performance optimization drive the value of real estate (https://ibn.fm/KissS). “Overall, the real estate investment team estimates that a typical building that integrates sustainable practices could help reduce building expenses by 3 to 30%, creating $3.5 billion to $34.9 billion of asset value in the top 10 U.S. markets in the process,” an excerpt from the report reads. The MSREI brief analyzed the impact of sustainability investments on ten real estate return factors through the lens of financial indicators such as revenue, operating expenses, financing cost, leasing expenses, and property value. It noted that “real estate portfolios that integrate sustainability may be better positioned to attract and retain reliable, long-term occupants,” hence boosting revenue. The practices also reduce operating expenses related to waste disposal, water, and energy and are more likely to attract favorable debt terms as bankers and investors seek to reward real estate companies that embrace sustainability. Additionally, green buildings are linked to lower leasing expenses as a result of reduced carry costs because of less downtime. Finally, sustainable practices have been shown to trigger property appreciation – retrofitting buildings and optimizing their energy usage directly impacts net operating income (“NOI”) by lowering operating costs or increasing revenue. And according to the brief, a higher NOI increases the value of a property. In understanding the benefits of putting up efficient and energy-optimized buildings, Correlate has committed to helping commercial real estate owners improve their buildings’ NOI, lower carbon emissions, and reduce deferred maintenance. Correlate is a company that offers a complete suite of proprietary clean energy assessment solutions for the commercial real estate industry as well as developing and financing renewable energy projects. The company offers commercial and industrial facilities access to clean electrification solutions focused on intelligent efficiency measures, locally sited solar and energy storage, and EV infrastructure. In addition, Correlate fully funds decarbonization, facility health, and energy optimization programs. “Correlate identifies cash flow positive energy solutions, designs and manages upgrades, and monitors performance over the long haul,” the company’s website reads. Correlate achieves this without requiring its clients to pay upfront fees. “Our funding mechanisms don’t require out-of-pocket capital expenditures (‘CapEx’). Because our solutions are cash flow positive, you can rapidly capture the full value of opportunities and increase NOI,” the website further explains.

China has long presented a massive opportunity for mobile phone-connected market innovation, with its 1.66 billion-person mobile products user base and forecasts for continued growth, especially as 5G technology rolls out (https://ibn.fm/eORo1). By the end of June, the number of 5G base stations in China reached 1.854 million, and there are more than 450 million 5G mobile phone users in the country, according to a report by Global Times on this year’s China Computational Power Conference (https://ibn.fm/ujXuy). Data presented at the conference showed all prefecture-level cities have implemented optical network broadband, and have more than 61 million household or company users. “Now with the massive onset of 5G phones there’s a really large market in China that’s looking to change up their phones for, let’s say, 3G and 4G phones to 5G,” mobile technology services provider FingerMotion (NASDAQ: FNGR) CEO Martin Shen said in an interview last month that provided an overview of his company’s operations and opportunity within China’s economic engine. “And also because we have such good relationships with really the largest telcos in China — China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom — I think that that kind of relationship lends itself to being very strong footing in terms of working in the Chinese market,” Shen said (https://ibn.fm/TVK0V). The U.S.-based company reported record quarterly revenues of $4.86 million from a variety of telecommunication services in a recently released Q1 2023 financial statement (https://ibn.fm/rBkzH), despite market “softness” that resulted from new COVID-related lockdowns that have impacted a number of industries (https://ibn.fm/wVaXm). “One factor that that seems to be overriding the softness experienced during the lockdown is the migration to 5G,” Shen reiterated in his analysis of the Q1 revenue report. “The mobile recharge business has strong underpinnings and is expected to continue its growth trajectory and a government stimulus plan may provide a boost to revenue as mobile phone sales started trickling in.” FingerMotion completed the rollout of a new device protection service in July that Shen has described as an AppleCare-similar platform built directly into the large telco partners’ costs for users’ service plans. Because of FingerMotion’s symbiotic approach to the developing the product with the telcos and the efforts of its underwriting partner, Shen foresees the protection plan as a new revenue driver at relatively low cost to the company for covering broken phone screens, accidental damage repairs and compensation, and older device trade-ins.
