• Power inverter technology critical to electric motor operation, converts energy from DC to AC power
• Inverter size and power density present design and mechanical challenges to EV manufacturers
• Hillcrest’s technology solves challenges with smaller, lighter inverter solutions that reduce weight, increase payload, decrease heat production, boost range
• Company recently released series of technical whitepapers that validate technology

Electrification technology continues to make strides; however, inverter size and power density continue to present design and mechanical challenges to manufacturers in the EV space. Hillcrest Energy Technologies (CSE: HEAT) (OTCQB: HLRTF) (FRA: 7HIA.F), a clean technology company, addresses these challenges with conversion technologies and control systems solutions that reduce the size and weight of inverter designs with the potential to disrupt the electrification industry. “Capacitance for a typical EV traction inverter today is between 600 micro farads and 1 millifarad, while the commercial prototype design of the Hillcrest traction inverter contemplates one-fifth to one-tenth of the capacitance,” says Hillcrest CTO Ari Berger (https://ibn.fm/puF40). “Such a significant reduction in capacitor and inverter size and increase in power density, coupled with improved power quality and system reliability, has the potential to disrupt power inverter designs across the automotive space.” Capacitors work by allowing for pulses of electrical current to occur at different times and frequencies. These pulses act as an energy buffer while reducing the amount of peak-to-peak ripple voltage that can compromise the process. Capacitors are therefore critical to the function of the motor, however the bank of capacitors in the inverter contributes to the component’s size and weight, posing mechanical and design challenges for manufacturers. Enabling switching at higher frequencies with Hillcrest’s Zero Voltage Switching (“ZVS”) inverter technology can result in a significant increase in power density, partly due to the reduction in the size of capacitors needed and in turn reducing the overall size, weight and cost of an inverter. Hillcrest’s technology allows for smaller, lighter high-efficiency power inverter solutions that reduce overall weight, increase payload, decrease heat production, and boost the vehicle’s range capability. The company continues to validate this technology with a series of whitepapers that showcase the value of its technology from various technical and sub-system aspects (https://ibn.fm/iYA7l). Last month the company released a report that demonstrated the value of operating electrical systems at higher switching frequencies with the ability to eliminate losses. The most recent white paper explains how operating at higher switching frequencies can result in a significant reduction in the size of capacitors within the system, in addition to improving power output, quality, system reliability, and component life. Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Hillcrest develops transformative power conversion technologies and control system solutions for next-generation electrical systems. As the world moves forward on the path toward electrical energy systems, the company is strongly positioned to provide disruptive technologies that unlock performance and efficiency across the entire electrification value chain.

• The recently passed Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 will extend the investment tax credit, providing residential solar users with a tax credit equivalent to 30% of the cost of equipment
• The tax credits will seek to incentivise the continued growth of the US solar energy sector
• Although new solar energy capacity accounted for half of the growth of electricity generation capability within the US in 1Q22, the nation’s cumulative solar energy capacity is sufficient to power a mere 18 million homes
• Through its revolutionary SmartGreen(TM) Home solution, GeoSolar Technologies will help household lower both, their carbon footprint as well as their utility bill outlay

The newly passed Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 has been hailed for its extensive remit, ranging from curbing inflation through a reduction of the United States fiscal deficit through to cutting prescription drug prices. However, one of the most impactful provisions within the bill is the long-term extension of the investment tax credit, a subsidy which has been instrumental in launching the US solar industry as we know it today. The bill calls for a 10-year extension of subsidies in the form of tax credits valued at 30% of the cost of the installed equipment, which will then step down to 26% in 2033 and 22% in 2034. Moreover, the tax credit also applies to residential adopters of solar technology; in effect, the 30% credit will retroactively apply to anyone who installed their system dating back to the beginning of 2022 – a welcome outcome for the likes of Colorado-based GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”), a climate technology company seeking to harness renewable energy sources to power and purify homes and automobiles without the use of fossil fuels. “With long-term incentives for clean energy deployment and manufacturing, the solar and storage industry is ready to create hundreds of thousands of new jobs and get to work building out the next era of American energy leadership. This is a crucial window of opportunity that we cannot miss, and now Congress must seal the deal and pass this legislation,” stated Abigail Ross Hopper, president of the Solar Energy Industries Association (https://ibn.fm/uEd7c). However, and despite the positive news-flow surrounding the US solar energy sector, adoption of solar power by American residential & commercial consumers remains woefully low. California is currently the only state which derives upwards of 20 percent of their electricity from solar power, sufficient to power 7.9 million homes (https://ibn.fm/LHVW1). Meanwhile, an astonishing 26 states develop less than 1 percent of their grid energy from solar sources. Despite its long-term economic benefits – solar power is more economical than conventional energy sources when amortised over the lifetime or the solar panel system (about 20 years), solar adoption has become inequitable, with a decided skew towards higher-income households. A key factor has been the elevated upfront cost of a residential solar power system, costing anywhere between $3,500 to $16,000, with the wide range a factor of the system being installed as well as the type of panels being utilized (https://ibn.fm/OrqDl). Additionally, potential cost savings are not straightforward to calculate. The solar energy generated by a residential system is oft quoted in terms of the theoretical electrical output potential in watts. However, the typical output realized for installed photovoltaic (“PV”) systems—known as the capacity factor—is between 15% and 30% of the theoretical output (https://ibn.fm/b80WB). The generated output then must be factored against the cost of energy being drawn from the local electricity grid. This can vary greatly, depending on whether a local utility charges customers a flat rate for electricity, regardless of the time of consumption or whether pricing varies at different rates throughout the day to mirror the actual cost of electricity production at different times. GeoSolar Technologies’ home energy solution has sought to adopt a multi-pronged approach towards electrifying homes using green energy sources. From solar panels on roofs through to geothermal heat pumps which take advantage of the warmth of the earth’s core and advanced CERV 2 air purification systems designed to manage indoor air quality in an efficient and intelligent manner, the GeoSolar’s proprietary SmartGreen(TM) Home solution has been designed to dramatically increase the energy efficiency of a conventional household. Moreover, the technology voids the need for households to depend on conventional utilities or pay utility bills. In fact, a study carried out by the company found that a traditional utility-powered home would possess a carbon footprint of upwards of 8 tons of CO2/year whilst paying annual utility bills of $2,700; in contrast, a GeoSolar-powered home would result in a negligible carbon footprint whilst disbursing less than $100 per annum in utility bills (https://www.geosolarplus.org/geosolarplus). From just 0.34 GW in 2008, U.S. solar power capacity has grown to an estimated 97.2 gigawatts (“GW”) today, enough to power 18 million average American homes.  The growth has coincided with a significant reduction in solar component charges; since 2014, the average cost of solar PV panels alone has dropped by nearly 70% (https://ibn.fm/KcIfZ). Nonetheless, the potential for solar energy within the United States remains relatively untapped. For instance, PV panels on just 22,000 square miles of the nation’s total land area – about the size of Lake Michigan – could supply enough electricity to power the entire United States (https://ibn.fm/DZgJm). That paradigm has begun to shift now. In the first quarter of 2022, the United States installed 3.9 gigawatts of solar PV capacity, equivalent to 50 percent of all new electricity-generating capacity added within the United States over the three-month period. GeoSolar Technologies are now looking to further that trend, both in terms of reducing their clients’ carbon emissions whilst contributing to reducing their utility bill outlays. As 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 remarked on 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.

• When CNS went public in 2019, the funds went primarily into pre-clinical preparation, trial design approval, and drug manufacturing for its potentially pivotal global clinical trial of Berubicin for recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”)
• So far, CNS has received FDA Fast Track Designation on its Berubicin clinical study, inching the company closer to offering a viable solution to the millions of people dealing with GBM, a devastating malignant brain cancer
• It remains committed to pushing the envelope in terms of research and development of potential GBM treatment, as we ll as brain cancers in general, to offer a viable solution to patients and address a huge worldwide market

When CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CNSP) decided to go public in November 2019, its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), John Climaco, expressed his optimism about the next chapter in both the company’s operations and performance. Since its inception in 2017, he noted, the company had been working “under the radar and within its capital means,” and the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) would offer an opportunity for it to scale up its operations (https://ibn.fm/NeVra). “This company has been built slowly and carefully, laser-focused on a single mission- trying to really move the needle in [glioblastoma] and brain cancers in general,” noted Mr. Climaco. “I think we’ve got all the pieces in place now,” he added. After the 2019 IPO the company’s management noted that the proceeds would fund its clinical trials and pre-clinical programs for other research and development activities and general corporate purposes. In addition, it would form the foundation for the company’s pivotal glioblastoma (“GBM”) study, which has since earned Fast Track Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). As a pre-clinical stage biotechnology company specializing in developing novel treatments for brain tumors, CNS has focused on its lead drug candidate, Berubicin, to potentially treat GBM. However, this candidate has also shown tremendous potential in treating other central nervous system malignancies, appearing to be the first anthracycline to cross the blood-brain barrier in the adult brain. Before the IPO, CNS estimated that over $25 million in private capital and grants were invested in Berubicin in what could be described as the company’s confidence in the product’s potential and what it could do should it receive FDA approval. The initial objective was to submit an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application during the fourth quarter of 2020, with the commencement of Phase II clinical trial in the first quarter of 2021. CNS has since made significant headway, even receiving FDA Fast Track Designation, which now offers it an accelerated path to approval for Berubicin. “With this designation, we now have an accelerated pathway to approval for Berubicin and a clear opportunity to more expediently bring this potentially impactful investigational therapy to individuals battling this challenging disease,” noted Mr. Climaco (https://ibn.fm/fO3fh). GBM’s median survival from initial diagnosis is less than 15 months, with a 2-year survival rate of 26-44%. Globally, it affects 5 out of every 100,000 people, making it the most common and devastating primary malignant brain tumor affecting adults. CNS hopes its research will offer a solution to the millions of people currently dealing with GBM globally. Given how much promise Berubicin has shown, its management is optimistic that with additional studies, it will get to offer a much-needed treatment option for the condition. “With the recent regulatory authority approvals received in Europe, we are currently on the cusp of opening clinical sites globally, including France, Italy, Spain, and Switzerland, to expand the scope and outreach to patients for this trial,” noted Sandra L. Silberman, the Chief Medical Officer (“CMO”) of CNS. “We remain dedicated to driving this study forward and ultimately hope to provide a much-needed option for treatment in GBM as a safe and effective therapy,” she added. CNS remains committed to pushing the envelope in terms of research and development of potential GBM treatment. Through this, it hopes to take advantage of the growing brain tumor therapeutics market, projected to hit $2.74 billion by 2023, posting a CAGR of 11% over the forecast period (2018-2023). But, more importantly, through its efforts, CNS looks to offer relief and a viable solution to millions of people globally who are dealing with GBM. Doing so will not only offer a unique solution unlike any currently in the market but also will create tremendous value for its shareholders as it pushes the GBM conversation forward.

• A new study shows promise in treating alcohol addiction with psychedelic mushroom compound, psilocybin
• These results align with efforts and expectations of Cybin, a leading ethical biopharmaceutical company championing psilocybin
• After receiving FDA approval, the company is moving forward with a first-in-human clinical trial evaluating CYB003

A new study published in JAMA Psychiatry offers hope for those struggling with alcoholism (https://ibn.fm/jV5o9), showing promise in treating alcohol addiction with the psychedelic compound psilocybin. This news aligns with initiatives of Cybin (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN), a leading ethical biopharmaceutical company, which has a drug in development, CYB003, for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (“AUD”) and major depressive disorder (“MDD”) (https://ibn.fm/5IPD1). In addition to reporting three million deaths annually attributed to alcohol use (5.3% of all deaths), the World Health Organization (“WHO”) states that the harmful use of alcohol is a causal factor in more than 200 diseases and injury conditions and that, overall, 5.1% of the global burden of disease and injury is attributable to alcohol (https://ibn.fm/ytu6c). These statistics make the JAMA-published study even more significant. The study, conducted by the Department of Psychiatry at New York University’s (“NYU”) Langone Center for Psychedelic Medicine, discovered that providing two doses of psilocybin and psychotherapy reduced heavy drinking by 83% within eight months. “In this double-blind, randomized clinical trial with 93 participants, the percentage of heavy drinking days during 32 weeks of follow-up was significantly lower in the psilocybin group than in the placebo group, containing the antihistamine diphenhydramine,” the article stated. By contrast, those who received the antihistamine placebo only reduced their drinking by 51%. All participants received up to 12 psychotherapy sessions before and after the psilocybin treatments. The study concluded that administering psilocybin in combination with psychotherapy “produced robust decreases in the percentage of heavy drinking days over and above those produced by active placebo and psychotherapy. These results provide support for further study of psilocybin-assisted treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder (‘AUD’).” These results align with the efforts and expectations of Cybin, which is creating Psychedelics to Therapeutics(TM). The company is making significant headway with its flagship deuterated psilocybin analog, CYB003. CYB003 has the potential to effectively treat AUD and MDD. The substance is designed to achieve less variability in plasma levels, faster onset of action, shorter duration of effect, and potentially better tolerability than oral psilocybin for a better patient outcome overall. Earlier this summer, Cybin received a “may proceed” letter and Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for its Phase 1/2a first-in-human clinical trial evaluating CYB003 (https://ibn.fm/OQsmP). This milestone achievement marks the industry’s first-ever novel psilocybin analog to enter clinical development; the company has started recruiting patients and expects to provide an interim pharmacokinetic and safety readout later this year. “We are extremely pleased to advance CYB003 into clinical development so quickly,” said Cybin CEO Doug Drysdale. “Our team has worked diligently to achieve this major regulatory milestone, and we look forward to collaborating with Clinilabs, our drug development partner, to accelerate this program. This Phase 1/2a trial represents the first time that a psilocybin analog will be evaluated in humans for the treatment of MDD and is the key next step toward our ultimate goal of providing a new and effective treatment for people suffering from mental health conditions.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Cybin.com.

• Global atmospheric methane emissions hit new record growth rates in both, 2020 and 2021
• Methane is responsible for a third of the 1.1c increase in global temperatures since pre-industrial times
• The recent increase in methane emissions have been traced to microbial sources, a finding which has increased the urgency to decarbonize organic and agricultural waste products
• EverGen Infrastructure have established themselves as the leading renewable natural gas infrastructure platform in Canada, recently expanding its asset portfolio through two major acquisitions
• The Company has also recently agreed to a $31 million loan facility, fully financing its upcoming capital requirements

Every year, 6,000 flasks of air arrive at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Global Monitoring Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado. Inside each of the flasks is a sample of air, drawn from one of a chain of 50 monitoring stations that span the globe. About 15 years ago, researchers at the laboratory observed an uptick in atmospheric methane within the samples they were receiving, a phenomenon initially attributed to the prolific use of fossil fuels around the world. Since then, that uptick has become a veritable surge – a source of growing concern given its implications for global warming: over a third of the 1.1-centigrade increase in global temperatures since pre-industrial times can be directly attributed to rising concentrations of methane in the atmosphere (https://ibn.fm/EqJrd). Scientists have now attributed the recent increase of Methane production to microbial sources, a term encompassing emissions resulting from the like of wetlands, cattle, and landfills. The record growth rate witnessed within atmospheric methane releases in 2021 in particular has increased the urgency to ‘decarbonize’ these sources, a remit increasingly being met by British-Columbia based natural gas operator, EverGen Infrastructure (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQB: EVGIF). In recent years, EverGen Infrastructure Corp have established themselves as the leading renewable natural gas (“RNG”) infrastructure platform in Canada, with a footprint in three of the four largest jurisdictions within the nation. The company recently revealed a goal to own over 20 producing facilities across the country within five years – a goal further buttressed by the EverGen’s announcement in March stating that they had acquired a 50 percent interest in a portfolio of RNG development projects in Ontario (“Project Radius”). Southern Ontario-based Project Radius, a late-development-stage portfolio of three high quality, on farm RNG projects will be collectively capable of producing approximately 1.7 million GJ/year, thus driving a marked reduction of agricultural-linked emissions from the area. The company further broadened its asset-base through the recent acquisition of a majority stake in GrowTEC, an Alberta-based agricultural operation boasting the capability to capture the methane emanating from upwards of 15,000 tonnes of organic waste annually. EverGen purchased a 67 percent shareholding in the renewable natural gas provider for $2.1 million, with subsequent plans to fund the investments needed to upgrade the company’s gas production potential, thereby enabling it to be injected into the pipeline network under a 20-year offtake agreement with FortisBC, British Columbia’s main gas utility. Having recently signed a term sheet with existing lender, Roynat Capital (a subsidiary of Scotiabank) and Export Development Canada for a $31 million syndicated senior term loan to support their ongoing upgrade and construction work across its RNG portfolio, EverGen finds itself suitably funded for its ongoing expansion plans (https://ibn.fm/zd8MO). Moreover, and backed by highly visible EBITDA and cash flow projections resulting from their long-term offtake agreements, EverGen Infrastructure looks exceptionally well placed to execute on its upcoming strategic roadmap. “The Facility is an integral component to EverGen’s capital structure as we embark on our planned upgrade and expansion projects, and we are very pleased to have the support of high-quality debt partners in Roynat and EDC,” said Chase Edgelow, CEO of EverGen. “This Facility ensures our near-term Core RNG Expansion projects are fully funded to deliver 480,000 GJ of RNG annually and compliments our strong balance sheet, positive cash flow & anticipated grant funding available to EverGen.” For more information about EverGen Infrastructure Corp. and its projects, visit the company’s website at www.EvergenInfra.com.

• Commercial gaming revenues in the United States reached a record $14.81bn in 2Q22
• Online gaming operations grew at an even faster pace, rising by 34.3% YoY to all-time high of $1.21 billion
• Recent studies have found that the online gaming market space within the United States could triple in size over the next five years, growing to $24.3 billion by 2026
• Golden Matrix Group, which recently won its Mexican gaming permit, looks well positioned to capitalize on the growth of the US online gaming sector through its B2B white-labelling operations

Commercial gaming revenue in the United States reached a record $14.81 billion in the second quarter of 2022, rising by 8.8 percent relative to the same period last year, whilst simultaneously surpassing the previous record reported in the fourth quarter of 2021 by 3.3 percent. Remarkably, online gaming operations rose at an even faster pace, seeing gross gaming revenue rise by 34.3 percent year-over-year to an all-time high of $1.21 billion, supported by the opening of six new legal jurisdictions for online gaming operations dating back to the second quarter of last year (https://ibn.fm/Varav). The robust growth trends for the sector bode particularly favourably for the likes of Golden Matrix Group (NASDAQ: GMGI), a developer and licensor of online gaming platforms, systems, and gaming content, whose technology and turnkey solutions are increasingly being adopted by hundreds of gaming platforms around the world. The advent of online gaming as witnessed by the recent industry trends have attracted a host of gaming platforms to the sector. Dating its origins back to the founding of the first online casino in 1994 – when the internet and computers were still relatively unusual concepts, there are now several thousand platforms vying for market share within an increasingly crowded marketplace. A number of those companies have sought to devote their efforts towards marketing and customer activation activities, opting to outsource their operational systems and gaming portfolios from third-party providers such as Golden Matrix Group. Whilst already impressive in nature, US sports betting and online gaming markets are set to continue their recent growth trajectory going forward. A recent study by VIXIO Gambling Compliance estimated that the combined online gaming sectors within the US could triple in size over the next five years, reaching an annual value of $24.3 billion as of 2026. Online gaming growth within the US has experienced a boom since the overturning in 2018 of a federal bans on regulated sports wagering outside of the state of Nevada. Since then, 35 states and the District of Columbia have legalized their markets in some form – permitting sports betting, online gaming, or both – with an additional 10 jurisdictions potentially following suit (https://ibn.fm/Gqvzg). Meanwhile, a separate study has shown that if online gaming were to be legalized in all 42 states currently permitting land-based casinos or mobile sports betting, the potential size of the U.S. online gaming market could total over $30 billion. The rapid growth in jurisdictions legalizing online gaming has gained further impetus due to the potential tax revenues involved – as per the American Gaming Association, a study of six states permitting online gaming within the United States (i.e. Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia), found that these states had generated $970 million in gaming tax revenue in 2021, compared with $560 million generated from 30 states which only allowed sports betting (https://ibn.fm/juDgD). The online gaming boom within the United States also opens a new potential revenue stream for Golden Matrix Group. Prior to fiscal 2022, Golden Matrix Group’s revenues were largely derived from licensing fees received from gaming operators located within the Asia Pacific region, who partook of the company’s GM-X turnkey solution, a complete software package designed to support online gaming businesses. The white-labelled service provided third party gaming platforms with access to GMGI’s expansive portfolio of over 10,000 games, ranging from online slots, casino table games, live operator games, and more drawn from Golden Matrix Group’s partnership with upwards of 25 providers. More recently, the company has sought to broaden its global footprint, recently revealing that the company’s gaming permit in Mexico has been approved – a key milestone set to permit GMGI to both, diversify its geographic revenue base and establish a firm foothold within the burgeoning North American gaming marketplace.
