• Miami-based REZYFi is a mortgage lender working with traditional loans but focusing particular attention on unbanked market sectors such as the cannabis industry and those property companies that provide leases to those sectors
• The loan origination industry appears to be experiencing a new round of greening in reversal of the year’s difficulties
• In the wake of positive CPI data last month, analysts are beginning to anticipate a greening of mortgage lending rates once inflationary pressures are reduced, making it easier for companies to obtain loans for their projects

The greening of inflation news last month is important news for market watchers, and expectations that the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) will continue to report favorable inflation trends has mortgage lenders anticipating less pressure on rates during the coming year and beyond. “We’re expecting the Fed to end its Fed Funds increases into the beginning of next year, so we are expecting mortgage rates to come down to 5.4% by the end of next year and then to come further down to 4.5% by the end of 2024,” Mortgage Bankers Association Associate Vice President of Housing Economics Edward Seiler told WTOP news, referring to the average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (https://ibn.fm/daSfs). The CPI report that is anticipated on Dec. 13 and the Fed’s policy decision announcement the following day will tell the tale about whether the government thinks its efforts over the past several months have had the desired effect in curbing inflation and in setting the stage for lower long-term rates. Analysts are already suggesting that, even with another raise in interest rates, it could be small enough to signal an important topping out and reversal of the previous trend (https://ibn.fm/jcosg). As mortgage rates gradually fall as expected, it reopens the door for companies that have struggled to pursue their projects in recent months. Specialized financing company REZYFi is a growing mortgage lender working to help such businesses navigate the challenging landscape of loan origination, particularly as it applies to the traditionally underserved cannabis industry and property owners who lease to such companies. REZYFi is anticipating the launch of its high-margin cannabis division in the coming weeks to focus on such challenging lending markets. The company also is developing a proprietary technology that will help it operate competitively by maintaining efficient turnaround time while also being economical with staffing levels. Through its subsidiaries, REZYFi Lending and ResMac Inc., the company has closed over 20,000 loans for over 15,000 clients and expects to originate $285 million retail sales during the coming year, with $250 million in wholesale origination in motion. Now operating in 30 states, the company expects to expand to all 50 states in the process of fulfilling its growth goals. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.REZYFi.com.

• Aircraft design and manufacturer CubCrafters builds modern backcountry aircraft, carrying on the legacy of historic Cub-style Aircraft, offering FAA-certified, light sport, and Experimental category airplanes. Aside from new aircraft produced on the production line, the company also offers aircraft produced under the company’s builder-assist program, and kits for those prepared to build on their own
• CubCrafters applied for Reg A+ status in July in an effort to raise public investment toward accelerating the company’s growth and production schedule output
• The company’s CEO and president announced recently that the SEC has qualified CubCrafters’ application, opening the way for interested investors to now come onboard
• One of the aircraft’s primary uses has been for backcountry exploration and recreation, but the American-made company was also lauded recently for helping a missionary in remote Mexico fly rural patients to the city for needed medical care

Best-in-class backcountry aircraft producer CubCrafters unveiled its plans to offer shares to the public with its announcement in July that the company was accepting reservations for preferred stock under a Reg A+ filing. CubCrafters President and CEO Patrick Horgan recently provided an update on the filing, announcing in a Bell2Bell podcast that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has qualified the Reg A+ filing, clearing the way for investors to come onboard. “The reaction (to the July announcement) was phenomenal, actually 2,000-plus investors very quickly supported this. We had over $25 million in reservations before the SEC had qualified us. So in a very short time it was clear to us that we had a good response,” Horgan told Bell2Bell host Stuart Smith (https://ibn.fm/ORMIR). “These people that have reserved and others that have shown great interest in recent weeks can now convert those into purchases, and that’s going well.” Horgan said the company has booked orders already awaiting fulfillment for the next two years of CubCrafters’ production schedule, and a large part of the reason for turning to public funding is to help the company grow sufficiently that it can reduce customers’ wait times, and provide better support for the growing fleet of aircraft worldwide. The investors represent a large cross-section of aviation enthusiasts. Many are experienced fliers, but even those who are simply familiar with flying the company’s aircraft in flight simulators can now invest and be a part of the company’s future, Horgan said. “We’re the preeminent builder of adventure airplanes. We build advanced versions of the Super Cub using current-day technology. It’s a utilitarian-type airplane that can access backcountry areas without the need for runways,” he said. “(It’s) high performance with the latest technology and engines and avionics. It’s an airplane that can be used commercially as well as just for a lot of fun. It’s a fun-flying airplane that really just brings a unique perspective to using aviation to access our world.” Horgan added that CubCrafters is the only aviation company he knows of building in four distinct classes of aircraft manufacturing — FAA-certified aircraft, light sport airplanes built to American Society for Testing and Materials (“ASTM”) standards, Experimental aircraft for hands-on builders taking advantage of the company’s builder assistance program, and kits for those prepared to build on their own. The variety allows clients the freedom to pursue their own vision of fulfillment in aviation. “We’re true to our American heritage and we have now 11 buildings, 14 facilities and over 200 employees in Yakima, Wash.,” Horgan said. “we’ve been a continually growing company since our inception… a beautifully American business story, starting humbly in a small way and continually growing.” The airplanes’ utility also has won the company accolades for humanitarian efforts in Mexico. A missionary flying “a slightly modified CubCrafters Carbon Cub EX” has used his aircraft to transport rural, remote patients to medical care in city centers. The pilot has transported 477 people and 13,069 pounds of cargo to and from the rural villages and hospitals during the past three years alone, providing life-critical service, according to an article by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (“AOPA”) (https://ibn.fm/kLT8R).

• Arizona Metals commenced Phase 3 expansion drill program at its flagship copper-gold-zinc-silver Kay Mine Project; only 3% of the prospectively mineralized horizon has been drill tested and this Phase of drilling will focus on making new discoveries
• Surrounded by high-grade historic past-producing VMS mines, Kay Mine also boasts potential for scale; the mine was practically abandoned for 40 years until Arizona Metals acquired it in 2019
• With $58 million in cash, company appears well funded to execute on its plans to spend $32 million on the Kay Mine Phase 3 exploration program over the next 12 to 18 months

Arizona Metals (TSX: AMC) (OTCQX: AZMCF), a mineral exploration company focused on advancing precious and base metal deposits, has commenced its Phase 3 expansion drill program in the flagship Kay Mine Project (https://ibn.fm/jXf2I). The company operates two wholly owned projects in Arizona, the state known as the largest U.S. copper producer. The current focus is its flagship Kay Mine Project, a copper-gold-zinc-silver asset located in Yavapai County on a combination of private land and BLM claims. Around 99% of Arizona Metals’ budget goes towards this high-grade volcanogenic massive sulfide (“VMS”) deposit located an hour north of Phoenix, in the heart of Arizona Copper Country. The company also operates another asset – the Sugarloaf Peak gold project in La Paz County, a heap leach open pit mine located 2 hours from Phoenix. Although the secondary asset is not the focus at the moment, the company sees potential in this mine but expects to spin it out into a new company in a better gold environment. Arizona Metals prides itself on having unique features that distinguish the company in the market. First quality being the Kay Mine Project’s grade and width. Next, it’s the mine’s polymetallic nature which at these grades and widths gives the potential for significant metal output with a low footprint. This also implies lower capital costs and operating costs. Finally, it’s the scale. “What we see as the real potential is the scale. We have high grades, large widths now you want tonnes. We think Kay Mine alone has great tonnage potential. On our property, we have 16 targets outside of the Kay Mine, but all within a 1.5km radius, that have never been drill tested. That testing is going to start in November”, said Marc Pais, Arizona Metals’ president and CEO, at the recent Precious Metals Summit Zurich 2022, the premier Swiss independent investment conference focused on explorers, developers and emerging producers of gold, silver and platinum group metals (https://ibn.fm/lR69H). Although most of the gold and copper-rich VMS deposits were mined out in the last 100 years, the company claims that Kay Mine is different. “Kay Mine is unique in the fact that it was basically abandoned for 40 years until 2019 when we acquired it. During that time, no work was done, but in the last two years, we’ve drilled 72,000 meters at the Kay Mine deposits and spent about $30 million”, continued Pais as he described the company’s competitive features. “We plan to spend at least $32 million on that program over the next 12 to 18 months and we are very well funded to do that work with just under $60 million in cash. On completion of this upcoming exploration program, we should still have $30 million left. Importantly for investors, we can aggressively drill this without going back to the market. Investors are not going to see more dilution”, he concluded. Phase 3 expansion drill program started this month and will be focused on looking for new discoveries in Central and Western Targets.

• Lexaria recently announced the findings of the first two studies from its EPIL-A21-1 animal research program
• The program is designed to assess the effectiveness of patented DehydraTECH(TM)-CBD in reducing or eliminating seizure activity compared to Epidiolex, a CBD-based anti-seizure drug
• The first study evidenced that DehydraTECH-CBD is more efficacious at lower doses than Epidiolex
• The second study demonstrated DehydraTECH-CBD’s enhanced effectiveness; specifically, the formulation acted more rapidly than Epidiolex

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, recently announced its patented DehydraTECH(TM)-processed cannabidiol (“CBD”) formulation has demonstrated performance enhancements compared to Epidiolex(R), the first and only FDA-approved CBD medication for the treatment of seizures (https://ibn.fm/iCdk5). Initiated in March this year and conducted by a leading US-based independent laboratory, the EPIL-A21-1 animal research program was designed to assess the seizure-inhibiting activity and efficacy of DehydraTECH-CBD at lower doses than were required with Epidiolex. Through the program, Lexaria hoped to demonstrate superior performance based on the increased systemic delivery and brain uptake induced by the DehydraTECH platform (https://ibn.fm/UFidI). The EPIL-A21-1 study program used an established, vehicle-controlled, acute animal seizure model induced by electrical stimulation (“MES”) and was designed as a three-part series, each using Sprague Dawley rats. In the pilot study, which involved 21 animals and examined three different doses, it was established that at lower doses of 50 mg/kg and 75 mg/kg, DehydraTECH-CBD was more efficacious than Epidiolex in reducing or eliminating seizure activity. More specifically, at the lower 50 mg/kg dose, only DehydraTECH-CBD showed some effectiveness in reducing seizure activity. In contrast, at 75 mg/kg, DehydraTECH-CBD demonstrated complete elimination of seizure activity in 66.6% of the animals compared to 50% of animals treated with Epidiolex. However, Epidiolex was more efficacious than DehydraTECH-CBD in eliminating seizure activity at 100 mm/kg, the highest dose tested in the first study. Overall, these findings suggest that DehydraTECH-CBD is more efficacious at lower doses than Epidiolex. The second MES animal seizure study was a time-to-peak efficacy study that involved 24 animals. At minute 30, 50% of the animals dosed with DehydraTECH-CBD showed partial reduction or full elimination of seizure activity, while 100% of the rates that received Epidiolex still exhibited full seizure activity at this time point. At 60 minutes post-dosing, 87.5% of rats dosed with DehydraTECH-CBD showed partial reduction or full elimination of seizure activity, whereas only 62.5% of those that received Epidiolex exhibited a similar outcome. At later time points, however, Epidiolex resulted in some enhanced seizure reduction capabilities. Lexaria is currently undertaking additional work under the EPIL-A21-1 program. Designed to establish the dose needed to achieve seizure inhibition in 50% of the animals tested or ED50, a common performance metric in preclinical animal studies, this final study is meant to corroborate the findings reported to date. This third study is expected to involve 24 animals, with Lexaria expecting to provide further updates as and when they become available. The findings so far suggest that DehydraTECH-CBD is more effective at lower doses and faster acting than Epidiolex. Still, Lexaria is considering optimizing the DehydraTECH-CBD formulation to facilitate more sustained action in reducing or eliminating seizure activity and is contemplating additional work to reinforce its growing success in seizure prevention.

• Homes are responsible for 20% of carbon emissions in the U.S. and 16% of carbon emissions in U.K.
• GeoSolar Technologies’ SmartGreen(TM) Home package can eliminate 100% of a house’s carbon footprint and up to 60 trillion tons of emissions when expanded to buildings and businesses
• With the addition of technologies, such as SmartGreen(TM) Home system, increases a home’s value by $15,000, according to the U.S. Department of Energy

When it comes to carbon emissions, factories and vehicles usually are the first to spring to mind for bellowing pollution. While true, U.S. homes are the sixth biggest carbon emitter in the world, creating 20 percent of the nation’s total carbon pollution. In the U.K., where homes responsible for 16 percent of the region’s carbon emissions, a new organization called Future Homes Hub is actively spearheading a transition to sustainable homes, indicating the global nature of the push for net zero. Future Homes Hub is chaired by David Thomas, CEO of U.K. residential property development juggernaut Barratt (LSE: BDEV), which has introduced a bevy of green technologies into its homes. “With the cost of living rising, energy efficiency has become a key driver for our customers,” Thomas told Big Issue earlier this month. In the U.S., companies like GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”) are specialized in green home packages that eliminate dependence upon the electricity grid while maximizing efficiency and growing home value. The average U.S. household produces about 9 metric tons of CO2 (carbon dioxide) equivalents each year. Add it up across 142 million American homes and that’s more CO2 emissions than is emitted by the entire country of Germany. To lend some color as to breakdown, consider that a typical house expels twice as much carbon every year as an average gasoline-powered vehicle. GST wants to change that. The Colorado-based company offers its SmartGreen(TM) Home, which can be retrofitted to existing homes or built into new developments in any climate with an installation process that takes just a few weeks. The comprehensive program includes sealing and insulating the “shell” or “envelope” of the house (exterior walls, attic, etc.), eliminating any usage of fossil fuels (natural gas, heating oil, propane) in favor of high efficiency electric appliances and mechanicals, and installation of rooftop solar panels as the new electricity source, geothermal ground loops used in heating and cooling, electric heat pump and water heater, floor loops, LED lighting, air purification system, and electric vehicle charging station. “GST plans to reinvent the home energy market and deliver more value by creating energy efficient homes, advanced highly monitored air management, air sealing, rapid electric vehicle personal charging stations and AI controlled home automation,” the company said in announcing a Regulation A+ offering this summer. GeoSolar Technologies, which is raising money ahead of coming public, has completed several home installations in Colorado that have earned premium marks by the Home Efficiency Rating System (“HERS”), the industry’s gold standard for evaluating energy performance and efficiency.  The company estimates that if every U.S. house were outfitted with its SmartGreen(TM) package, the country would eliminate 1.9 trillion pounds of carbon emissions annually. Extrapolate that to buildings and businesses and GeoSolar Tech management says 60 trillion tons of emissions could be eliminated each year. The company’s leadership team is comprised of industry and executive veterans with backgrounds at companies including Piper Aircraft, Chevron Energy, Exxon Mobil Energy Research, Siemens, and McKinsey, to name a few. The environmental impact is a benefit with a substantial financial perk. A study by the North Carolina Building Performance Association showed that homes with lower HERS Index scores sold for as much as 9.5% higher in North Carolina’s major metro areas, compared to homes that were not rated. Furthermore, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that every dollar saved on energy through solar increases home value by $20. According to Zillow, homes with solar panels sell for 4.1% higher on average than homes without solar energy. With the median sales price of an existing home in the U.S. being $303,757 in August, that’s an increase of $12,454. Energy.gov echoes that sentiment, estimating solar-powered houses commanding a $15,000 premium, plus selling faster than non-solar counterparts, explaining why demand for solar is gaining momentum.

Both tiers are subject to basic requirements, including company eligibility, bad actor disqualification provisions, disclosure, and other matters – which Coyuchi has met for its authorization for public offering under Reg A+.  Funds raised so far have helped open a second retail location this past month at Palo Alto Town & Country Village. For the unique investment opportunity, Coyuchi has engaged Manhattan Street Capital – with share prices starting at $4.50 and a minimum investment of $450. By investing through the Reg A+ authorization, potential investors gain access to shares in Coyuchi – an opportunity previously reserved for only the wealthiest 2%. The company’s offering circular contains important information and disclosures, including financial statements and risk factors for potential investors (https://ibn.fm/mdpWC).

Coyuchi believes in the democratization of finance and wants its customers, partners, and supporters to share a common interest in the company’s mission and to have first access to invest alongside VCs. By investing in Coyuchi through its Reg A+ authorization, potential investors are aiding the growth of Coyuchi’s leadership in the market through the expansion of its marketing efforts and product categories, the continuation of its physical presence, and the implementation of B2B strategic partnerships with wholesalers and online marketplaces.
