FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) CEO Reiterates Company Commitment to Environmental Preservation, Sustainability

  • FuelPositive’s Board Chair and CEO Ian Clifford participated in The Tactical Leader podcast hosted by Zack A. Knight, a former police and SWAT operator, Army veteran, and entrepreneur
  • Mr. Clifford discussed his own journey and how it informed FuelPositive’s business model and environmental goals
  • The company’s product, green ammonia, can be an optimal replacement for fossil fuels and a key enabler for the hydrogen economy – effectively changing the way that carbon emissions are reduced
FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF), a Canadian-based, growth-stage company working to provide commercially viable and sustainable, cradle-to-cradle, clean-energy solutions, remains fully committed to environmental preservation and sustainability via its innovative green ammonia product, company Board Chair and CEO Ian Clifford said during a recent interview on The Tactical Leader podcast (https://ibn.fm/cCS9p). “This is a big world. We’re tiny, but we have a huge influence. This is why we look seriously at the impact of every step of our technology, not just the outcome of the product being carbon-free or non-polluting,” Clifford said during the latest podcast episode of a series featuring industry leaders who discuss their journeys of self-mastery and examine the continuing efforts for the art of pure leadership. The podcast is hosted by former police and SWAT operator, United States Army veteran, and entrepreneur Zack A. Knight. “Where does the steel come from that builds our systems? Where are the different technologies sourced? Where are the different raw materials from? It’s a real ‘cradle to cradle’ attitude in terms of our impact. Every company, every person needs to really think seriously about that and understand that we all have a profound environmental impact, and it doesn’t take a lot of adjustment, necessarily, to change that impact. We’re passionate about that,” the FuelPositive leader added. As a company focused on the manufacturing, licensing, partnership, and acquisition of opportunities that build upon a variety of technological advancements to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change, FuelPositive has developed a proprietary green ammonia product that can serve as a replacement for fossil fuels and as a key enabler for the hydrogen economy, potentially helping the industry overcome major challenges associated with hydrogen manufacturing and distribution. The company’s core technology creates a non-polluting chemical for multiple applications and aims to change the climate in the process. Its production system requires significantly less energy to produce than other methods of ammonia production, but with no carbon emissions. FuelPositive’s green ammonia generates 65% more hydrogen than highly compressed hydrogen products, while also providing lower manufacturing costs throughout the entire process, easier storage and minimal transportation requirements because the production units are situated where the green ammonia is used. During the interview, Clifford also discussed his professional journey up to and including the founding of FuelPositive. “When I was 17 years old, I was a budding photographer and was invited to Yosemite to participate and assist Ansel Adams at the end of his life, which was the start of my life, really. I learned so much, and it really helped me create an environmental vision and a way of looking at the world that was very different,” he said. Clifford went on to explain how Adams, “probably one of the greatest photographers that ever lived,” as well as “one of the most humble people I’ve ever met,” informed his own personal and professional development. “I was able to really understand what it means to build a strong team of people, a very level team. FuelPositive, for me, is a literal culmination of all of that learning.” The FuelPositive CEO further talked about the importance of staying humble as a leader and inviting ideas from every level to inspire innovation, drive creativity, and breed success. “If you look down into [FuelPositive’s] values, we talk about things like kindness, accountability, and commitment. We talk about being ego-free,” he said. “Building teams with inclusiveness, innovation, resourcefulness, and honesty is really, really important, certainly in FuelPositive. We’re now 12 people. We’re a tiny company in terms of the number of people, but our aspirations are huge. We’ve built this phenomenal team of people as a result of that [commitment to values]. We’re very forward with our mission and our values. We’re really serious about that.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.FuelPositive.com.

Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) Distribution Deal Increases CBD Product Reach to Mexico, Latin America

  • Plant-based wellness and lifestyle brand cultivator Flora Growth Corp. is building on its initial revenues from 2021 with distribution expansion into Mexico
  • The company will initially distribute a portfolio of 12 Mind Naturals skincare products through e-commerce but intends to eventually locate its products in brick-and-mortar stores
  • The company’s deal with Mexican department store Coppel gives it a reach nationwide through its online marketplace and, perhaps eventually, Coppel’s 1,253 stores
  • Flora Growth’s products will also be distributed through global retail giant Walmart’s e-commerce platform — one of the leading retail chains in Central America
  • The company also has an outdoor cultivation segment with operations based in central Colombia, where cannabis can be grown at a fraction of the cost of cultivation in the United States, helping Flora Growth to boost its potential profitability and competitiveness
Flora Growth (NASDAQ: FLGC) is expanding its cannabis-derivative brand presence in Latin American countries through cannabidiol (“CBD”) product distribution deals with global retailer Walmart’s online marketplace and Mexican department store chain Coppel’s e-commerce outlet. Flora Growth’s Mind Naturals skincare brand, built with premium CBD and other high-quality ingredients, as well as the company’s Awe CBD skincare brand, began rolling out in Spain and Mexico a few months ago. Mind Naturals will be distributing a portfolio of 12 products through its agreement with Walmart and Coppel, leading retail chains in Mexico and Central America. “This agreement represents our first foray into the Mexican market and furthers our global foothold as a leader in plant-based wellness and lifestyle brands,” Flora Growth CEO Luis Merchan stated (https://ibn.fm/gfueu). “As the cannabis market continues its rapid expansion across the globe and into various sectors, we are poised to meet the needs of the market at every touch point.” The sales launch will initially take place through e-commerce, but the agreement includes plans to place the Mind Naturals products in brick-and-mortar stores throughout Mexico. Coppel has 1,253 stores in the country. The Mind Naturals brand is designed to cater to younger consumers beginning a skincare regimen, whereas the Awe CBD brand is aimed more at the prestige market, according to the company (https://ibn.fm/5Otn8). Flora’s goal is to become a plant-based wellness and lifestyle collective, distributing pharmaceutical, cosmetic and nutraceutical products around the world from its 100-hectare (about 247-acre) Cosechemos cultivation facilities in central Colombia. Cosechemos operates economically in one of the world’s most fertile locations for legal cannabis production, growing cannabis flower at what the company estimates to be around 6 cents per gram of dried product. The price in the United States ranges from 50 cents to $2, according to a CNN news report (https://ibn.fm/qBRJG). “We wanted to grow cannabis in an outdoor way at the lowest production cost in the world,” Merchan told Investor Brand Network’s Bell2Bell podcast earlier this month (https://ibn.fm/gn6Hx). “We selected Colombia, one of the most beautiful geographies located alongside the equator in the world. Of course, we built a world-class team of agronomists who are helping us grow cannabis in an organic way at a cost that cannot be competed with anywhere, worldwide.” Merchan said 2021 was a foundational year for the company as it established its infrastructure to capitalize on its first revenues and set the stage for continued growth. “In 2022, we’re going to see the export of dried flower commence. We’re going to see the export of derivatives into countries such as Australia, South Africa and some portions of Europe, and that of course will also be complemented by organic growth in our portfolio products,” Merchan told the podcast. “We feel very strongly about the growth in our food and beverage category, which continues to increase, and we’re also going to penetrate the North American market with both special brands and other products in our portfolio that are being well received by the North American consumer.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.FloraGrowth.com.

StraightUp Resources Inc. (CSE: ST) (OTCQB: STUPF) Positioning Itself to Tap into Extrapolated Positive Price Trends within the Precious Metals Segment

  • StraightUp is positioning itself to tap into the trends associated with the prices of precious metals with the expectation that the positive historical trends could continue well into the future
  • The company is undertaking additional, thorough exploration works at its existing properties as well as acquiring new properties
  • In 2022, the company hopes to prove gold mineralization at its RLX properties located in the legendary Red Lake Mining District
2022 could hold some extreme promise, excitement, and momentum for StraightUp Resources (CSE: ST) (OTCQB: STUPF), a public company engaged in the business of mineral exploration and the acquisition of mineral property assets with significant potential in North and South America, according to company President and Director Mark Brezer. Speaking during a recent Bell2Bell podcast interview (https://ibn.fm/IYjPt), Brezer pegged this 2022 outlook on the expectation that the precious metals’ prices could extend their positive historical trends well into the future. The average silver prices per troy ounce, for example, have trended upwards since 2018, starting at $15.71. In 2019, the figure rose to $16.22 and further to $20.69 in 2020, finally settling at $25.14 in 2021 (https://ibn.fm/XynY3). Similarly, the average gold prices per troy ounce have increased year-over-year since 2015, starting at $1,159.86. The figure increased to $1,251.92 in 2016, $1260.39 in 2017, $1268.93 in 2018, $1,393.34 in 2019, $1,773.73 in 2020, finally topping off at $1,798.89 in 2021. As of the first week of January 2022, the gold price per troy ounce had already increased to more than $1,810 (https://ibn.fm/wu3Fe). StraightUp is ideally positioning itself to tap into the expected growth trends – based on the historical data – by undertaking thorough exploration works at its existing mining assets as well as acquiring new properties. In September last year, for instance, the company acquired the West Cat Mine in the historic Beatty Mountain Nevada Mining District in Nye County, Nevada. “This is our first acquisition in the district and in Nevada, and we’ll be looking at more assets in America,” noted StraightUp Director & Chief Financial Officer Daniel Cruz in a December 7 video published on the company’s YouTube channel (https://ibn.fm/I3I0M). “The property had a historic shaft, less than 200 feet below the surface, and there was a NI 43-101 compliant historical data that there were silver, gold, and other minerals.” Before the extraction of mineral ore can begin at the Nevada facility, Cruz says, StraightUp intends to bring in a new geological team to evaluate the historical data as well as undertake soil sampling and magnetic surveys (“MAGs”). Then, when the team confirms the shaft is safe, the company should proceed with mineral ore extraction. StraightUp also secured rights of exclusivity with Premier Silver Corp that signaled its possible entry into Peru (https://ibn.fm/Ue6bd). Once the acquisition is completed, the facility, which includes the Mallay Mine & Processing Plant and associated exploration and development assets, is expected to position StraightUp as a mining company. “StraightUp Resources and Premier will now be a company that is not only exploring for opportunities but also generating cash flow, and that takes us from being an exploration company to a mining company,” stated Brezer during the podcast interview. “To have a proven silver mine and cash flow coming from it will help strengthen our other business endeavors.” In addition to the two mining assets in Peru and the United States, StraightUp owns several properties in Canada. These are the Red Lake gold project that includes the RLX North and RLX South properties; the Belanger project, where historical exploration work has evidenced significant gold, silver, and copper deposits; the Ferdinand gold project; and the Bear Head gold project. Moving forward, the company intends to continue focusing on the Red Lake mining district’s opportunities as well as the exploration works at the Ferdinand project located within one of the world’s best metal endowed greenstone belts. According to Brezer, a heli-borne magnetic survey (“MAG”) offered a structural understanding of the latter property. Still, the company intends to leverage advanced technology to identify the specific areas to focus additional exploration efforts on. At its Red Lake properties, the company intends to combine historical data with new data to generate new geological interpretations in readiness for drilling programs. “In 2022, we hope to return to the RLX, which has already seen more than a dozen holes drilled in the past, identify new targets and try to prove the gold mineralization that we believe is present on this property as in neighboring properties that have found tremendous success,” added Brezer.

  • This move strengthens Amara’s retail footprint as it focuses on accelerating its omnichannel sales distribution strategy and continued growth across various channels
  • Eat Well Group projects $100 million in revenue for 2022, and the Loblaws distribution deal will play a key role in attaining this goal
  • The company is also confident that this move, coupled with other investments made over the 2021 financial year, will allow it to capitalize on the infant nutrition market, which is estimated to reach $109 billion by 2027
Eat Well Investment Group (CSE: EWG) (OTC: EWGFF) announced that Amara Organic Foods will now be stocking in Loblaws stores across Canada. Amara is Eat Well Group’s majority-owned portfolio company and one of the fastest-growing baby food brands in the United States. It prides itself in an extensive line of plant-based food products. Having posted incredible growth over the past year, Eat Well Group’s management has attributed it to the global trend of consumers opting for nutritious plant-based foods to complement their everyday lifestyles. They have also attributed this growth to the baby foods being 100% organic and with excellent taste (https://ibn.fm/M3eG8). Distributing these products to Loblaws locations across Canada strengthens Amara’s retail footprint. This is being executed as the company focuses on accelerating its omnichannel sales distribution strategy and continued growth across natural health food stores, traditional big-box retailers, and e-commerce. “We are incredibly excited to see Amara add another premier distribution point in Loblaws, one of Canada’s most well-known and established grocery stores,” noted Marc Aneed, the Director and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of Eat Well Group. Loblaws has over 2,400 locations across Canada and is currently one of North America’s leading grocery and pharmacy chains. Established in 1919, it has a heritage and a history that Amara can tap into and a market share that Eat Well Group can benefit from going forward. As of December 12, 2021, Eat Well Group projected $60 million in final revenue for 2021. For the 2022 financial year, the company is projecting approximately $100 million in revenue, and this distribution deal with Loblaws will play an integral role in attaining this goal. Eat Well Group is determined to see Amara become a household name as it continues to disrupt legacy baby and toddler food brands rapidly. By 2027, the infant nutrition market is projected to be valued at over $109 billion. Eat Well Group plans to capitalize on this growth. Throughout 2021, the company made strategic acquisitions and investments, in addition to the research and development of its product line. It is confident that going into the new year, these investments will pay off and be integral to its growth in both revenue and market share. Additionally, these investments will allow the company to capitalize on the growing infant nutrition market while stamping its position as the leader in the plant-based segment.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Celebrates Productive Year for Blood Pressure Drug Solution with Eye on Advancing Clinical Studies in 2022

  • Lexaria Bioscience’s ongoing human clinical studies for its patented and trademarked DehydraTECH technology have yielded progressively optimistic results in 2021 regarding DehydraTECH’s ability to provide effective solutions for the cardiovascular industry
  • DehydraTECH is being studied for its capacity to improve CBD’s ability to reduce high blood pressure in a rapid and sustainable manner that exceeds the ability of a generic CBD formulation
  • DehydraTECH-CBD underwent three human clinical studies in 2021 that examined its ability to reduce arterial stiffness and blood pressure without creating unintended negative consequences
  • A fourth, more comprehensive study was approved at year’s end, as the next step in the strategy, and dosing is tentatively expected to begin by April
Health and wellness drug bio-effectiveness innovator Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX) is celebrating its multiple successes during 2021 after capping the year with regulatory approval for the most comprehensive study to date of its patented and trademarked technology as a potential treatment for hypertension. Study protocols for HYPER-H21-4 were prepared as a continuation of 2021’s HYPER-H21-1 through HYPER-H21-3 studies that examined the capability of Lexaria’s DehydraTECH-CBD (cannabidiol)— to lower blood pressure, and to do so without adverse consequences. Encouraging results from the first three studies have been reported during recent months, demonstrating DehydraTECH-CBD’s capacity to reduce arterial stiffness in mild-to-moderate hypertension (high blood pressure) volunteers, reduce their blood pressure, and function without creating adverse or unexpected consequences. Lexaria classifies the human clinical studies as ongoing, and on Dec. 29 announced that an Independent Review Board (“IRB”) had approved the protocols for HYPER-H21-4, which is tentatively expected to begin dosing by April. “Outcomes from this study could support Lexaria’s goals related to pursuit of regulatory approvals for DehydraTECH-CBD for potential use as a treatment for high blood pressure,” CEO Chris Bunka stated (https://ibn.fm/Ia0hC). “Reducing arterial stiffness in Lexaria’s recent hypertension study after only a single day of dosing with our DehydraTECH-CBD is a major discovery,” Lexaria President John Docherty stated after follow-up results from HYPER-H21-2 were released last month (https://ibn.fm/qoDjl). “We know that increased arterial stiffness is correlated with many serious and life-threatening diseases affecting people worldwide, and we are optimistic that our latest findings could have future widespread implications for promotion of improved human health and wellness.” DehydraTECH helps certain drugs to be utilized more efficiently by the human body through an ingenious and patented new method of drug delivery that works more symbiotically with the human body than most previous technologies. Establishing DehydraTECH’s ability to help treat high blood pressure in combination with CBD could serve as a springboard for treating other cardiovascular diseases as well. Arterial stiffness occurs naturally with age and is an indicated condition in the mortality rate from chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. Clinical human study HYPER-H21-4 will also measure markers such as 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (the primary outcome), blood biomarkers (including lipids such as cholesterol), sleep disorders and perceived stress, all of which have the potential to demonstrate DehydraTECH-CBD’s impact on chronic heart diseases beyond simple blood pressure responsiveness. Lexaria’s Dec. 29 news release noted that there are several hypertension drugs that each generate $1 billion per year or more in revenue, and the company’s plans for HYPER-H21-4 are entirely funded through Lexaria’s existing cash resources and therefore will not be subject to any financing requirement, demonstrating the company’s efforts to be fiscally responsible in its pursuit of a marketable product solution for the cardiovascular industry.

Cybin Inc. (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN) Notes ‘Milestone’ Step with USPTO Notice of Allowance CYB004

  • Cybin awarded notice for company’s innovative treatment of anxiety disorders
  • Approval demonstrates company’s dedication to discovery and development of psychedelic-based compounds for addressing mental health
  • Anxiety disorders rank among the most common mental illnesses in the country
Cybin (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN) has taken another step forward in its strategic plan to strengthen its position as leading innovator in developing putative psychedelic compounds. The company has received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) for its patent application for an innovative treatment of anxiety disorders (https://ibn.fm/8hMWh). Cybin announced that it has been awarded a USPTO Notice of Allowance for patent application No. 17/394,038. The patent is connected to the company’s proprietary investigational deuterated psychedelic tryptamine compound, CYB004. Cybin is evaluating the compound as a potential treatment of anxiety disorders. According to the announcement, the notice includes allowed claims for other forms of deuterated psychedelic tryptamine, including certain deuterated forms of DMT and 5-MeO-DMT. “The receipt of this Notice of Allowance from the USPTO represents an important milestone in expanding our intellectual property portfolio progressing psychedelics to therapeutics for the countless patients in need, and strongly demonstrates the company’s dedication to the discovery and development of differentiated psychedelic-based compounds for addressing mental health,” said Cybin CEO Doug Drysdale. “Once issued, this patent may have the opportunity to cover a broad range of claims supporting our IP in psychedelic medicine and further strengthen our emerging best-in-class position in this evolving industry.” Anxiety disorders rank among the most common mental illnesses in the country, with the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health reporting that an estimated 40 million adults, or approximately 18% of the population, suffer from the disorder every year. “Despite the availability of many prescription medicines, these treatments are not equally efficacious in all patients with up to 50% of patients with general anxiety disorder failing to respond to first line treatments,” Cybin stated. Another challenge with current anxiety disorder treatments is the time it takes for the treatments to become effective as well as the side effects that often accompany the treatment. Troublesome side effects can include weight gain, gastrointestinal disturbances, sexual dysfunction and withdrawal symptoms. “CYB004 is a proprietary deuterated psychedelic tryptamine that has the potential to effectively treat anxiety disorders without the well-known side effects of the current treatment landscape,” Drysdale added. Cybin is a leading ethical biopharmaceutical company on a mission to create safe and effective therapeutics for patients to address a multitude of mental health issues. The company is focused on progressing psychedelics to therapeutics by engineering proprietary drug-discovery platforms, innovative drug-delivery systems, novel formulation approaches and treatment regimens for mental health disorders.

FingerMotion Inc. (NASDAQ: FNGR) Ushers in New Year with Energetic Approach to Building Awareness of RCS, Big Data Services Potential in China

  • Rich communication services (“RCS”) and big data analysis solutions provider FingerMotion is a U.S.-based company focused on providing products and services to China’s 1.4 billion mobile users
  • FingerMotion’s SMS and MMS services account for the bulk of its revenues, but the company is in a growth phase that it expects to see the big data analysis solutions of its Sapientus division outstrip the revenues of the mobile services in coming months
  • The company has begun implementing additional measures to expand awareness of its operations and growth potential among investors, including an uplisting of its common stock that allowed FingerMotion to begin the year on the Nasdaq Capital Market
  • FingerMotion also recently announced that Skyline Corporate Communications Group has been retained to manage investor relations and communications within the financial community
The Chinese New Year is still a month away, but in the United States the new year has already begun with China-centric mobile data specialist company FingerMotion (NASDAQ: FNGR) kicking off its aspirations for a prosperous new trip around the sun with the announcement that its common shares have been upgraded to a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market in hopes of expanding the company’s reach to investors. FingerMotion’s development of short and multimedia messaging (SMS and MMS) services for Chinese consumers have built the company’s revenues to solid levels with quarterly growth surging 142 percent year-over-year in its Telecommunications Products and Services business sector as of FingerMotion’s most recent financial report in October (https://ibn.fm/zKoBo). CEO Martin Shen anticipates revenues from the company’s big data-analyzing Sapientus division to eventually outpace the SMS and MMS services, particularly as the company continues to build client agreements with insurers who need insurers risk assessment scoring and a simplified policy underwriting process. FingerMotion’s insurtech services are expected to generate new revenue channels in several of China’s provinces and help the company transition toward profitability as the services begin to be activated in the new year, and the Nasdaq listing provides hopefulness for new investment revenues as well. “FingerMotion is very proud and excited to be joining the Nasdaq stock market as one of their newly listed technology companies.

PlantX Life (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (OTCQB: PLTXF) had an impressive year 2021, achieving significant milestones that not only helped to grow the brand but also create value for its shareholders. The year was defined by strategic acquisitions, partnerships with key players in the retail space, and expansion into new markets in an aggressive market expansion plan. Kicking off the year, PlantX commenced trading on the OTCQB(R) Venture Market in the United States, even as it continued to advance its plans to open its first brick-and-mortar locations in Squamish California and San Diego (https://ibn.fm/oYLNc). Over the course of the year, the company also applied to list its common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and it remains optimistic that the application will go through. In addition, PlantX applied for up-listing to the Toronto Stock Exchange in October, subject to the approval of the TSX following the original listing requirements (https://ibn.fm/BXeBM). 2021 also marked the year when PlantX made some significant acquisitions that allowed it to further stamp its position as the digital face of the plant-based community. In January, the company completed the acquisition of Score Enterprises Ltd., a privately-held company that operates the Squamish-based Locavore Bar and Grill. PlantX would later redesign the restaurant location into XMarket Squamish, its Canadian flagship brick and mortar shop. Other notable acquisitions throughout the year included U.S.-based Little West LLC, MKC’s Plant-Based Deli, LLC, Liv Marketplace LLC, Eh Coffee, Portfolio Coffee, and Peter Rubi, LLC.

By the close of the year, PlantX had released its financial results for the three months ended September 20, 2021 (“Q2 2021”).

SPYR Inc. (SPYR) Set to Capitalize on Smart Home Product Sector’s Burgeoning Growth

  • The smart home sector has seen dramatic growth over the past 3 years, with 34% of households owning at least one device
  • Apple has been a dominant player in the smart home sector through its HomeKit ecosystem
  • SPYR Inc., through subsidiary Applied Magix Inc., is seeking to capitalize on the rising demand for these Apple-compatible smart home and connected car devices
  • The annual value of the smart home sector is projected to grow to $187 billion by 2025, representing a 5-year CAGR of 15.75%
Smart home products have become more popular than ever before. Sales data has revealed that more time spent at home during the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased demand for tech goods — a trend that has resulted in the rapid digitization of private households, especially over the past two years. SPYR (OTCQB: SPYR), dba SPYR Technologies, intends to capitalize on this burgeoning trend through its Applied Magix subsidiary. This tech company plans to develop and resell Apple-compatible products with an emphasis on the growing, multibillion-dollar Internet of Things (“IoT”) Smart Home and Connected Car markets. While still in its infancy, the smart home technology market has been growing at breakneck speed. According to research by Parks Associates (https://ibn.fm/cnidd), 34 percent of broadband users today own a smart home device, a significant increase from the 24 percent only three years ago. Additionally, the average number of devices owned per household rose in 2020 from 6.8 to 7.4. Perhaps most significantly, the survey also showed that upwards of 86 percent of smart home device owners wanted unified control of all their smart home products via a single app, a trend that has contributed to the growth of Apple’s home product ecosystem, known as HomeKit. Apple officially launched HomeKit on Sept. 17, 2014 with the goal of providing third-party apps with the ability to interface with HomeKit devices using its proprietary Siri voice assistant, while allowing remote access through home hubs. The company has since released a series of products such as the Apple TV set-top box, the HomePod smart speaker, and the HomePod mini in recent years. However, the key functionality of the Apple product ecosystem remains within the Home App’s compatibility with third-party accessories — a broad array of products which range from air conditioners and cameras to lights, locks, speakers and smart televisions (https://ibn.fm/T11yc). In 2020, SPYR acquired Applied Magix Inc., a registered Apple developer and reseller of Apple-ecosystem-compatible products, to enter the global IoT (Internet of Things) market, initially through the development, manufacture and sale of devices and accessories specifically built on Apple’s HomeKit framework. Apple’s consumer base has historically shown a propensity to pay a premium for quality products, spending twice as much, on average, on technology relative to other smartphone users. By focusing on creating smart hardware and software solutions exclusively for Apple consumers, SPYR’s Applied Magix subsidiary is addressing a key problem faced by the Apple consumer market — having a relatively limited selection of smart devices that integrate with Apple’s HomeKit, despite the target market’s relative affluence and desire to purchase Apple-branded products. Applied Magix has concentrated its initial foray into the Apple HomeKit and CarPlay connected car ecosystems on five key consumer products — the MagixDrive Wireless CarPlay adapter; the HomeKit Secure Video Camera with iCloud Storage; the Multipurpose Sensor with Alarm; the Environment and Motion Sensor; and the Window and Door Contact Sensor. With Apple set to be a dominant player within the sector alongside former rivals Google and Amazon, and the global smart home market expected to grow to an annual size of $187 billion by 2025, representing a 5-year CAGR of 15.75 percent, SPYR Inc. looks well-positioned to capitalize on the exponential growth rate of a consumer market still in its relative infancy.

SPYR: IBN (InvestorBrandNetwork) will receive $29,000 per quarter for 365 additional days & $15,000 for additional advertising from SPYR for IBN Core Solutions, Brand Awareness Distribution (BAD), Corporate Communications, News & Editorial Syndication, Press Release Enhancement and Social Media Solutions provided by IBN (InvestorBrandNetwork) and family of 50+ brands, please read entire IBN Disclaimer for FULL Compensation Disclosures.
