• AnPac Bio-Medical Science Co., Ltd. has developed its proprietary Cancer Differentiation Analysis (“CDA”) technology to detect biophysical signals as an alternative early disease indicator to blood-based biomarker testing for cancer
• The company has laboratories and R&D facilities in China equipped for CDA testing and cancer biochemical testing, as well as a CLIA/CAP accredited laboratory in the United States
• AnPac Bio recently held its 2021 technical symposium in China where KOLs from major hospitals and universities discussed new technologies for cancer detection and treatment.

AnPac Bio-Medical Science (NASDAQ: ANPC) is moving forward with testing and registration of its multi-cancer screening technology in its drive toward commercialization of its proprietary CDA device for a variety of conditions, with the filing of a record 11 types of cancers for assisting in diagnosis in a formal medical device product registration testing application with NMPA. AnPac Bio’s pioneering CDA technology has already produced annual revenues from cancer risk assessment tests for multiple cancers in general population. In 2020, significant growth was achieved with revenues of $3.2 million, according to a Prospectus Supplement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission last month (https://ibn.fm/Me4Tk). The current filing announced August 23rd, with China’s National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) seeks to expand the usage of CDA technology-based cancer risk testing into hospitals. The 11 cancers which are tumors of the lung, esophagus, stomach, rectum, colon, liver, breast, cervix, thyroid, pancreas and brain, includes  three types of tumors (esophageal cancer, thyroid cancer and brain tumor) that do not yet have generally accepted blood-based biomarkers to be detected with simple blood tests, according to a recent news release about Anpac Bio’s NMPA filing (https://ibn.fm/ot65X). AnPac Bio’s early-detection CDA technology utilizes a biophysical approach which includes acoustical, electrical, magnetic, nano-mechanical and optical environment properties in the blood to determine the risk of more than two dozen cancers. The CDA technology and the company’s proprietary algorithm “measure and analyze these signals at multiple biological levels (including the protein, cellular and molecular levels) and with multiple parameters” that include Protein Tumor Factor and Cellular Tumor Factor data as well as an “overall CDA value,” according to last month’s SEC filing. AnPac Bio’s NMPA filing this month builds on extensive evaluation and successful preclinical trials completed through July, 2021, with the aim of beginning clinical trials at multiple hospitals next year following completion of registration testing with the NMPA. On Aug. 6, AnPac Bio held its 2021 technical symposium in Shanghai with representatives from global fortune 500 companies, life science companies, major hospitals and leading medical schools in attendance, as well as investors and shareholders. The symposium focused on cutting-edge theories, technologies and methods relating to cancer treatment and prevention. The presentations included hospitals’ evaluations of the CDA technology in clinical trials carried out earlier this year, as well as newly un-blinded and analyzed clinical trial data. Fudan University-affiliated Shanghai Tumor hospital, Changhai Hospital and Jiaotong University School of Medicine reported that CDA technology performed well in distinguishing between the healthy and cancer patient groups. They concluded that the CDA technology, its simplicity, high sensitivity and specificity, is an excellent technology for detecting a variety of cancers early, and in particular for early detection of lung and thyroid cancers.

• FuelPositive Corp. is a Canadian-based clean energy solutions innovator developing a means of using green ammonia as a non-carbon polluting fuel
• The company was recently featured in a broadcast by NetworkNewsAudio (“NNA”) that highlights FuelPositive’s advances in making green ammonia more portable, more cost-efficient and ultimately more power generating than environmentalist darling hydrogen
• The broadcast notes that traditional ammonia production typically creates significant pollution, but that the key advantage of FuelPositive’s Phase 2 Hydrogen-Ammonia Synthesizer is that it eliminates the pollution factor and makes carbon free ammonia easy to produce where needed as a transportation fuel
• The broadcast highlights the results of FuelPositive’s decision to commission a study of Canada’s off-peak green electricity capacity, showing that the country has sufficient energy to utilize green ammonia as a carbon-free fuel for all of Canada’s passenger and commercial freight needs

The dedication of Canadian-based FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) toward building renewable energy technology through manufacturing, licensing, partnership and acquisition opportunities, is the focus of a recent audio broadcast featuring news about FuelPositive’s decision to commission an analysis of Canada’s green off-peak electricity capacity, measuring the Canadian transportation sector’s fuel needs and carbon emissions. The NNA broadcast notes that ammonia produced in a carbon-free manner can provide fuel for commercial and public transportation and do it in a way that promotes responsible climate policy. “Many people don’t know it, but planes, trains, ships, trucks and other vehicles can be converted to run on ammonia – just as easily as they can be converted from gasoline and diesel to run on propane”, FuelPositive CEO Ian Clifford states in the news release about the broadcast (https://ibn.fm/FEOjZ). “The transportation sector just didn’t see a benefit to switching to ammonia until now, because the production of traditional ammonia results in massive carbon emissions. But, when you use our carbon-free NH3 made from green electricity rather than traditional ammonia, it means we can move people around and transport goods with no pollution.” In addition, ammonia presents advantages over the generally preferred green energy solutions that rely on hydrogen. Hydrogen can be stored physically as either a gas or a liquid, however the storage and transportation process is complicated because such storage typically requires high-pressure tanks and cryogenic temperatures. Therefore, improvements in the technology necessary to store and transport hydrogen are generally considered key to advancing its use as a renewable solution (https://ibn.fm/om7zd). Ammonia, however, is easy to store and transport using existing infrastructure. Its chemical symbol, NH3, is often referred to as hydrogen nitride instead of ammonia in recognition of its nitrogen and three hydrogen atoms. That structure makes ammonia the ideal carrier for hydrogen — in addition to the portability of FuelPositive’s technology, the end user can convert the green ammonia back to its hydrogen element to be used to produce electricity in a hydrogen fuel cell. It’s also much less expensive to manufacture carbon free ammonia than pure hydrogen by volume, according to the company. FuelPositive’s carbon-free production process also eliminates fertilizer-related carbon emissions in the agriculture sector. Currently, the agriculture industry remains the largest user of ammonia. Over 80 percent of traditional ammonia is used as fertilizer. The analysis by emissions reduction and carbon credit specialist Andre Mech that FuelPositive commissioned found that Canada has enough off-peak green electricity to produce carbon free ammonia to fuel 63 percent of all the passenger cars, light trucks, passenger aviation, buses, light rail, motorcycles, freight trucking, freight aviation, rail, marine and other sector vehicles in the country using non-polluting, carbon-free NH3 as a fuel. The analysis also found that Canada has enough off-peak green electricity to produce carbon free ammonia to fuel 100 percent of the passenger and commercial freight needs of its industries.

• $58.5 million in Adjusted Sales for first six months of 2021
• The company also reported repaying approximately $18 million of debt and restructuring over $20 million into a long-term debt
• Q2 also marked RWB’s acquisition of Acreage Florida, as well as an operational 45,000 SF greenhouse within the state, which it projects, will begin harvesting in Q4 2021
• RWB’s CEO expressed his optimism about the company’s performance in the Q3 and the second half of the year, given the strides made and the momentum realized in Q2

On August 30, Red White & Bloom Brands (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF) released its financial results and subsequent events report for the second quarter of the 2021 fiscal year (“Q2, 2021”). While making the announcement, Brad Rogers, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the company, expressed his optimism about the company’s performance in Q3 and the second half of the year, owing to the strides made by the company, and the momentum realized in Q2. Key takeaways from the announcement included the company’s Q2 13% increase in revenue over the first quarter of the year. It is noted that there were significant raw material inventory purchases over that period, in support of growth for Q3 and anticipation of new branded product launches later down the line. Adjusted sales for the first six months of the 2021 fiscal year totaled $58.5 million, with revenue for Q2 totaling $13.3 million, up from $11.8 million in Q1 2021. The gross margin (excluding adjustments for biological assets) was $9.5 million for Q2 2021 (https://ibn.fm/esKgg). In addition to a growth in revenue, RWB also received the Florida Department of Health, Office of Medical Marijuana Use approval and closed the acquisition of Acreage Florida. Acreage Florida is a company that is licensed to operate medical marijuana dispensaries, a processing facility as well as a cultivation facility within the state of Florida. The transaction would see RWB possess a 114,000 SF facility for cultivation and a 4,000 SF freestanding administrative office building located on 15 acres in Sanderson, Florida. “In Florida, after closing the acquisition at the end of April, we have made strategic investments that are allowing us to quickly ramp up capacity as well as complete construction for new store openings before the end of 2021,” noted Mr. Rogers. Q2 2021 also saw RWB secure 20 double wide fully enclosed cultivation pods that will offer approximately 19,000 square feet of turn-key cultivation space. These pods will also provide 14,400 SF of canopy capable of producing over 7,000lbs of flower every year. RWB also announced having completed the more comprehensive portion of Michigan’s two-step application process for medical marijuana licensing through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, RWB Michigan, LLC. Additionally, by the close of Q2 2021, RWB had completed over $52 million in financing transactions, retiring at least $7.7 million in debt. The company also closed the acquisition of an operational 45,000 SF greenhouse located on 4.7 acres of land in Apopka, Florida. It projects that the facility will be ready for harvest by Q4 2021. RWB also exercised its option to extend the maturity of its Credit Facility to January 2022, with an option to further extend it to July 2022. In total, over the Q2 2021 period, approximately $10 million of debt was retired, with additional agreements to restructure $20 million of debt, expected to close over the first week of September 2021, and with the maturity date moved to January 2023. RWB is a first-mover, an industry leader in American cannabis. It is driven by becoming the prominent and most recognizable cannabis company in the United States (“US”). It is proud of its ethical, manufacturing, branding, educational and employment standards, the highest in the industry. Since its inception, the company has positioned itself as one of the top three multi-state operators in cannabis and hemp-derived product lines within the US market. Headquartered in Vancouver, RWB has made significant investments within the US and has pending acquisitions in Michigan, and Massachusetts, with plans to enter California at scale. The company plans to create the first-ever standardized cannabis facility in the US to ensure superior quality. For its operations in Michigan, RWB uses a 3rd party licensee. The licensing agreement specifies that the revenue the company can recognize is product sales, less direct expenses, and inventory purchases. Consequently, RWB’s revenue in Michigan is always understated. Still, the company has managed to post impressive results, which make its future look promising. Q2 2021 was remarkable for RWB. Fiscal performance was impressive, and the company also made some strategic decisions and investments that guarantee its growth in performance as time progresses. The company is confident and optimistic about its performance in Q3 as well as the second half of 2021, all stemming from the progress and the momentum achieved from Q2.

• Mind Cure Health Inc. CEO Kelsey Ramsden was featured in a recent Bell2Bell podcast interview, during which she explained the company’s primary focal points – digital therapeutics and drug development
• On the digital therapeutics side of its business, the company is developing iSTRYM, a clinical-grade, evidence-backed, science-based, AI-driven tool for both therapists and patients, scheduled for full commercial launch in Q1 2022
• MCUR has successfully synthesized the chemically complex ibogaine and intends to scale up its production during the remainder of 2021

As a diversified life sciences company at the forefront of the mental health industry, Mind Cure Health (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQB: MCURF) actively develops technology, conducts research, and distributes products. According to company President and CEO Kelsey Ramsden, who was featured in a recent Bell2Bell podcast (https://ibn.fm/dyDt5), its two focal points are digital therapeutics, focusing on psychedelic therapy, and drug development, leaning toward psychedelic molecules. When the company was developing its model and go-to-market strategy, it considered the regulation and timing of regulatory change instead of solely focusing on clinics and molecules. This positions the company to align with changes at the government level unlocking some of the psychedelic molecules. “What that meant for us was investigating molecular research that would be the blue-sky horizon, so, independent of when the typical generic MDMA or Psilocybin get approved, we’re in charge of the approval process, meaning we do the clinical research on the novel molecule to get it to market. That is drug development,” stated Ramsden. On the digital therapeutics end, Mind Cure Health is developing a clinical-grade, evidence-backed, science-based, AI-driven tool, known as iSTRYM, for therapists deploying psychedelic assisted therapy in clinics. iSTRYM, which modernizes care, is also meant to help patients have an app that supports them through their care, resulting in better outcomes, shorter patient timeframes in clinic, and approval and unlocking insurance payments for psychedelics. Once dismissed as trifles of counterculture, psychedelics are now being held to a higher regard. This is largely due to revelations, through research, that they can be used to treat mental health conditions such as depression, drug dependency, PTSD, and more. However, according to a New York Times article, they are yet to receive mainstream acceptance despite the ongoing scientific work to change this (https://ibn.fm/ffIQo). This is perhaps due to stigma and the old view people may still have of psychedelics, which is why podcast host Stuart Smith sought to find out how the company intends to deal with this hurdle. “I do think we do have some of these hurdles to overcome, but, at the same time, with tools like digital therapeutics and research-backed psychedelics, I think we overcome some of the stigma with science,” Ramsden explained. So far, in 2021, MCUR has reached some key milestones, including raising $23 million in a bought deal short form prospectus public offering that closed in February this year (https://ibn.fm/BJH9h). On the technology side, MCUR launched the minimum viable product (“MVP”) of iSTRYM in Q3 2021. On the drug development and research side, the company synthesized ibogaine and has launched the second stage of manufacturing pharmaceutical grade ibogaine to be used in clinical research. The company has also filed patent applications for two routes of chemical synthesis of ibogaine. “Ibogaine comes from the iboga root out of Africa. It’s a psychedelic drug and is very complex chemically, very difficult to build in the lab fully chemically synthesized, which is what we need to get stability and normalcy so that we can meet FDA regulations. And our team successfully synthesized ibogaine – the full chemical synthesis,” Ramsden continued. When asked about the company’s plans for the remainder of 2021, the company intends to spend about six months iterating the iSTRYM product in anticipation of a full commercial product launch in Q1 2022. Mind Cure Health also aims to scale up its ibogaine production to provide the psychedelic drug to researchers. Further, it is working on new research initiatives, to be announced in due course.

China-focused communications technology company FingerMotion (OTCQX: FNGR) is using big data and analytical technology to provide its clients with market insights as a growing number of Chinese consumers adopt online insurance products. Last year, online insurance premiums surpassed 290 billion yuan (US$44.8 million) in the country, according to the Google translation of a Gold Investment Network insurance news release (https://ibn.fm/7g2lO). The popularity of online premiums among consumers fueled a rapid surge in new economic activity within the country that continues on an upward path as businesses turn to big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (“AI”), and other value-added technology to accelerate their revenues (https://ibn.fm/IDXw7). FingerMotion has seen its revenues grow in consecutive reporting quarters during the past year (https://ibn.fm/Yg42v) and is anticipating further success thanks in part to a landmark agreement with Pacific Life Re-insurance that effectively positions FingerMotion as Pacific Life’s data provider, utilizing FingerMotion’s trademarked Sapientus platform. Pacific Life is one of the world’s top five Insurance companies, well into its second century with $1.1 trillion in life insurance policies and $171 billion in assets (https://ibn.fm/DYI95). The company is on a trajectory to firmly bring its services ashore among China’s world-leading population, where consumers are required to carry social insurance and certain types of commercial insurance. Social insurance covers basic insurance policies for pensions, medical care, on-the-job injuries, unemployment, and maternity care, among other things. The China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission (“CBIRC”) is responsible for oversight of insurance and re-insurance regulation, and foreign companies must meet conditions for CBIRC’s approval (https://ibn.fm/gFBMF). Because China’s credit and insurance risk standards are still in a nascent stage, the predictive solutions offered by FingerMotion’s analytical technology and its big consumer data access provide clients such as Pacific Life a means of anticipating their risks with policy holders. The predictive services of FingerMotion’s Sapientus database are focused on the insurance industry, but may yet become integral to solutions in other industries as well, such as in varied health care, financial services and consumer e-commerce sectors.
