REZYFi, Inc. Eyes Developing Californian Cannabis Market Amid Approval of Ballot Measures to Expand Retail

  • California voters recently approved 12 local ballot measures in the 2022 midterm elections to either expand or create cannabis markets in a dozen municipalities
  • These approvals, it is projected, will translate to over 70 new retail licenses and countless other business opportunities for plant-touching and ancillary companies that serve those retailers
  • Having positioned itself as one of the first cannabis mortgage bankers in the United States, REZYFi’s management is confident that these approvals, coupled with the growing conversation around marijuana and its growing expansion into additional states, will significantly strengthen its brand recognition and equity
  • The company looks to accumulate at least $285 million in retail origination in 2023, coupled with $250 million in wholesale origination for the same period

REZYFi, a growth mortgage origination and specialized financing company, is looking to capitalize on the recently approved cannabis ballot measures to expand retail within California and add to the growth of its market share. The recent approval by California voters of 12 local ballot measures in the 2022 midterm elections is projected to either expand or create retail cannabis markets in a dozen municipalities, mainly within San Diego and Los Angeles counties (https://ibn.fm/mmLgy). REZYFi is comfortable that these approvals will aid in growing its customer numbers and revenues.

REZYFi, through its two wholly owned subsidiaries- REZYFi Lending and ResMac Inc., has continued to carve out market share in the U.S. market, with operations growing for over 13 years. The company has closed over 20,000 loans for over 15,000 clients and now looks to accumulate at least $285 million in retail origination in 2023. It also aims to accumulate $250 million in wholesale origination for the same period.

The California cannabis ballot approvals is projected to translate to over 70 new retail licenses and countless other business opportunities for plant-touching and ancillary companies that serve those retailers. It is expected that by 2025, California will command a 20% share of the legal cannabis market, the largest in the United States (https://ibn.fm/xLsPm). This will be mainly influenced by the state’s progressive approach towards the sector and the supportive legislative framework that has aided its growth so far. Given that REZYFi targets owners of real estate who lease to cannabis companies and homeowners seeking a variety of real estate-related and additional mortgage-based financing and project-specific financings, the move by California voters offers a key growth opportunity for the company.

In a report issued by The National Association of Realtors, published in April 2021, it was noted that where prescription and recreational cannabis use was legal, over a third of surveyed agents reported a notable increase in demand for warehouses. In addition, 23% of those surveyed noted an increase in the demand for storefronts, with 28% observing an increased demand for land (https://ibn.fm/poGqv). With previous state legalizations of recreational marijuana reflecting an increased opportunity for REZYFi’s cannabis-focused initiatives, the company is optimistic that the recent developments in California will further contribute to the company’s growth in the coming months.

REZYFi is currently licensed in 34 states in the U.S. with plans to expand to the remaining states in the future. With more states pushing for the legalization of recreational marijuana, the company hopes its customer base will continue to grow, as will its revenue. REZYFi is aggressively pushing the marijuana conversation forward as it works to lay the foundation for those interested in venturing into this space.

The company is optimistic that, as the conversation around marijuana legalization continues to evolve, the reception for its products and services will continue to build. In addition, having positioned itself as one of the first cannabis mortgage bankers in the United States, its management is confident that its expansion into remaining states will significantly strengthen its brand recognition and bolster its brand equity.

FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) Making Strides as Efforts to Develop Technologies for Production of Green Ammonia Gain Widespread Attention

  • More than 100 national and international stakeholders drawn from research, business, and political spheres, recently congregated at the CAMPFIRE Symposium 2022
  • At the symposium, companies presented their plans for technologies for the production and transport of green ammonia, its conversion back to hydrogen, and its use as a fuel for ships
  • Canadian technology company FuelPositive has developed an onsite, containerized technology that relies on renewable electricity to produce green ammonia from water and air
  • FuelPositive’s onsite ammonia production system is expected to disrupt the traditional ammonia sector as well as the green hydrogen sector
Ammonia is poised to play a crucial role in the move away from emissions-intensive fossil fuels toward renewable energies. This transition is fueled by the fact that ammonia is a source of green electricity and hydrogen, even though it is presently primarily used as a nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture; in fact, about 80% of all the ammonia produced globally is used up in agriculture (https://ibn.fm/NQMUH). However, this agricultural bias may soon change if recent events and the concerted efforts by various players are to act as reliable precursors. On Friday, October 21, 2022, Ozeaneum in the German city of Stralsund played host to about 100 national and international stakeholders drawn from such sectors as business, politics, and research. The gathering, a symposium organized by CAMPFIRE, provided an avenue for companies to present their plans for new applications and implementation concepts centered around green ammonia. Green ammonia produced from renewable energy, an article in IDW Online that reported on the symposium notes (https://ibn.fm/PAB5Z), is increasingly viewed as a gamechanger for the energy transition and is key to the security and reliability of energy supply. The reasoning behind this statement is that ammonia is used in many areas as a stable source of hydrogen that can be stored and transported more easily, efficiently, and cheaply. For ammonia to be used, however, it must first be produced and then transported. So, as part of its focus on the global entrepreneurial implementation of ammonia technologies and emerging hydrogen value chains, the symposium featured presentations and discussions involving market-leading companies that explored “technologies for the production and transport of ammonia, its conversion back to hydrogen, and its use as a fuel for ships.” The conversations held on that Friday are especially pertinent to FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF), a company developing a green ammonia production system that relies on renewable electricity to synthesize hydrogen from water and nitrogen from the air before combining the molecules in a proprietary converter to create green ammonia. The onsite, modular, containerized system is poised to disrupt the traditional ammonia sector by providing the energy- and nitrogen-rich compound at an affordable price while doing away with the reliance on unpredictable and wildly fluctuating ammonia supply chains. Because the green ammonia is produced on the end-user’s site, there is no need to transport it from a refinery to its final destination, which completely eliminates the supply chain. At the same time, the green ammonia technology is expected to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions linked to the production of traditional (“grey”) ammonia through the highly pollutive and energy-intensive Haber Bosch process. This process is responsible for about 1.4% of global carbon dioxide emissions and consumes about 1% of the total energy produced (https://ibn.fm/cBANZ). Still, the former figure does not include the emissions released by the industrial production of hydrogen from natural gas, which generates about 830 metric tons of CO2 annually (https://ibn.fm/tEzIF). “By disrupting the traditional ammonia sector, we are also disrupting the green hydrogen sector. Green ammonia, the most effective enabler of the hydrogen economy, can economically, efficiently, and quickly capture, store, and transport green hydrogen – making the hydrogen economy a reality,” the company’s website reads (https://ibn.fm/Ymi5H). “We have the technology. We have the team, and we have the finances. Just watch us.” In November this year, FuelPositive expects to finish the validation of the first demonstration system of its onsite, containerized green ammonia system before shipping it to an 11,000-acre farm in Manitoba, Canada. Here, the company will run the system, evaluating its functionality in all types of weather conditions as part of a pilot project aimed at providing comprehensive hands-on data and performance metrics (https://ibn.fm/q3McP).

GeoSolar Technologies Inc.’s SmartGreen(TM) Geothermal-Based System Potentially Boosts New Home Construction Values

  • Geothermal systems provide financial benefits for new construction homes due to lower installation costs
  • GeoSolar’s SmartGreen(TM) residential and commercial energy systems tap into geothermal and solar energy to dramatically lower or eliminate utility bills
  • U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) recently announced Biden administration plans to reduce geothermal system costs by 90% to $45 per megawatt hour by 2035
Geothermal systems tap into the earth’s energy to heat and cool homes throughout the year. Besides lowering utility bills, lower installation costs for new construction has the potential to increase home values in some markets (https://ibn.fm/wmQAO). GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”), a climate technology company based in Colorado, addresses the rising demand for geothermal technology with their SmartGreen(TM) whole-home renewable energy systems that commits to lower bills, reduce carbon emissions, and provide unparalleled energy efficiency. “The financial benefits of a geothermal system are clearer for new construction homes because installation costs are lower than on an existing home,” said Vikram Aggarwal, CEO of EnergySage, a green educational energy and quote-comparison site based in Boston. “But even for existing homes, lower utility bills are an important benefit, especially as energy costs rise.” Natural gas and petroleum prices are increasing worldwide, adding substantially to the current economic crisis. Renewable energy systems like SmartGreen(TM) help insulate homeowners from price shocks by drastically lowering or even eliminating utility bills. “Geothermal systems are popular with buyers when they’ve already been installed, especially for younger buyers who want green features in their homes,” said Corey Burr, a real estate agent with TTR Sotheby’s International Realty. “The energy savings with a geothermal system can be substantial, so it should be a benefit to sellers.” According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the U.S. leads the world in geothermal electricity generation (https://ibn.fm/9M1yb). California and Nevada lead the country with approximately 95% of total power generation, followed by Utah, Oregon, Hawaii, Idaho, and New Mexico. All states combined produce roughly 16 billion kilowatt hours (“kWh”) of power, equal to about 0.4% of total U.S. utility-scale electricity generation. The U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) recently announced that the Biden administration plans to reduce geothermal system costs by 90% to $45 per megawatt hour by 2035 (https://ibn.fm/TqG0d). “The United States has a vast, geothermal energy resource lying right beneath our feet, and this program will make it economical to bring that power to American households and businesses,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. GeoSolar’s SmartGreen(TM) Home system is a total household makeover that leverages geothermal technology in addition to photovoltaic rooftop solar panels, EV charging infrastructure, and upgrades to insulation, windows, lighting systems, and the building envelope. With numerous government incentives and tax deductions, GeoSolar is well positioned to market the system to over 120 million homes across the country.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Moves Forward With Exploration of Patented DehydraTECH(TM)-Processed CBD for Dementia

  • Approximately 55 million people worldwide have dementia, which is expected to grow to 78 million by 2030
  • The dementia treatment market was valued at $13.78 billion in 2021. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.32%, resulting in a value of $26.13 billion by 2029
  • Clinical studies have established a connection between hypertension and dementia
  • With DehydraTECH(TM)-CBD already evidencing that it can lower blood pressure  and its propensity to cross the blood-brain barrier, Lexaria is investigating the potential for a positive outcome in the DEM-A22-1 study
According to the World Health Organization (“WHO”), dementia is the seventh leading cause of death among all diseases and one major cause of disability and dependency among older people worldwide. Dementia is characterized by the deterioration of cognitive function, affecting memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, calculation, learning capacity, language, and judgment. Although consciousness is not impaired, it is commonly accompanied by mood changes, emotional control deficits, behavior changes, and motivational impairments. It is estimated that approximately 55 million people have dementia worldwide, a number expected to grow to 78 million by 2030 (https://ibn.fm/q8GxK). Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, is exploring its patented DehydraTECH(TM)-processed cannabidiol (“CBD”) for use against dementia. As previously evidenced in animal studies, DehydraTECH-CBD crosses the blood-brain barrier much more effectively than originally thought possible. Clinical studies have established a connection between hypertension and dementia – individuals who have high blood pressure are more likely to develop vascular dementia, which is the second most common form of dementia, following Alzheimer’s Disease. Vascular dementia is caused by a reduced blood flow to the brain, starving brain cells of oxygen and nutrients needed to function properly. Previous studies of DehydraTECH-CBD for potential hypertension treatment have proved successful with no adverse reactions experienced by subjects in the human trials. The company recently announced the launch of its first-ever study to investigate DehydraTECH-CBD and dementia (DEM-A22-1). Given the propensity of DehydraTECH-CBD to cross the blood-brain barrier, the established fact that it lowers human blood pressure, and CBD’s vasodilation properties, Lexaria is eager to investigate the potential of DehydraTECH-CBD’s positive effects on dementia (https://ibn.fm/oZhII). Based on research conducted by Maximize Marketing Research (“MMR”), the dementia treatment market was valued at $13.78 billion in 2021. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.32%, resulting in a value of $26.13 billion by 2029. An increase in R&D expenditures, increased frequency of Alzheimer’s Disease indications, a surge in the geriatric population, an upsurge in awareness about neurodegenerative diseases in emerging countries, and a rich pipeline of new treatment alternatives are expected to drive the market during the forecast period (https://ibn.fm/7TynH). The DEM-A22-1 study is a dose-ranging, two-month program involving a total of 32 Long Evans rats that will be dosed with DehydraTECH-CBD. A novel object recognition test, commonly used to assess memory in rodents, is being used to investigate whether CBD enables cognitive performance enhancements in the test model. The study is being undertaken by a third-party testing laboratory in Canada, with expected completion in late January 2023, with data and reporting to follow shortly after. Depending on the study’s outcome, additional investigation into DehydraTECH-processed nicotine (another agent evidenced to enhance cognitive performance) may follow. Lexaria will provide updates on DEM-A22-1 as they become available. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.LexariaBioscience.com.

Reklaim Ltd.’s (TSX.V: MYID) (OTCQB: MYIDF) Q3 2022 Results Reveal 217% YoY Revenue Increase, 142% Gross Margin Growth

  • Reklaim posted Q3 2022 results showing 217% YoY revenue growth, 142% YoY gross margin increase, 90% year-to-date recurring revenue growth, and 28% more customers since year-end 2021
  • The online advertising industry depends heavily on consumer data, but government regulations and tech company restrictions are severely cutting supply
  • Reklaim fills the void with an identity ecosystem that compensates users for consenting to share data while providing fully compliant data sets to marketers
Reklaim (TSX.V: MYID) (OTCQB: MYIDF), the destination for consumers to access and reclaim their data, recently posted its financial results for the three months that ended September 30, 2022. Highlights included a 217% year-over-year revenue increase, a 142% year-over-year gross margin increase, 90% growth in year-to-date recurring revenue, and a 28% increase in new customers since year-end 2021 (https://ibn.fm/vYj7E). “As signaled in previous quarters, we have accelerated the reduction in our cost structure while maintaining our growth rate, and we expect a similar trajectory in the coming quarters,” Reklaim CEO Neil Sweeney said in a news release. The online advertising industry depends heavily on customer data to create targeted marketing campaigns, and demand for that data continues to increase. At the same time, government regulations and privacy restrictions enforced by tech companies are severely cutting supply to the market. Limited options for consensual data are creating a massive void that Reklaim is filling. The company’s mobile identity ecosystem enables consumers to view and protect their information and receive compensation for sharing their data. Advertisers, marketers, brands, and data agencies can access this consensual, consumer-verified data for a fee. “The shift in the data market to one of privacy and compliance continues to accelerate with more and more companies looking for a partner who can solve these issues for them,” Sweeney continued. “Reklaim is poised to take advantage of this trend, and we believe privacy regulations, including the introduction of CPRA in California, will be increasingly enforced in 2023, creating a unique opportunity for Reklaim to expand its market share.” The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) – an amendment to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) – is set to take effect on January 1, 2023 (https://ibn.fm/5RxzI). Initial provisions provided by the CCPA gave consumers numerous rights, including the right to know what information is collected, if it is sold and to whom, and the right to delete their data. Consequences for businesses that violate the law include penalties of up to $7,500 per intentional violation, $2,500 per unintentional violation, and statutory damages of up to $750 per consumer per incident. Options for marketers are increasingly limited, leading to the demand for fully compliant data solutions that provide critical insights into consumer behavior. Reklaim is firmly positioned to fill that void with an identity ecosystem that lets consumers take back control of their information while delivering relevant, high-quality data sets to marketers.
