• BAND Royalty has rolled out its first of four series of visionary NFT collectibles, granting them unique status by attaching them to potential revenue opportunities stemming from music artist royalties
• BAND’s stable of music royalty possibilities includes songs sung by artists such as Beyonce, Cher, Justin Timberlake, and Rihanna in its first series
• BAND’s art DeFi offering helps fans claim a personal financial stake in beloved music artists
• The remaining three series of NFT offerings, each with 3,000 “albums” of graduated levels of rarity, with roll out of over the next 18 months along with an NFT-supported token that provides fans further opportunities to share in music royalties
• The first series of NFTs launched with a private pre-sale that netted BAND more than $700,000 in Ethereum equivalence before transferring the remainder of the albums to the public market

The non-fungible token (“NFT”) market gained a revolutionary new player this year when BAND Royalty applied its experience in music industry investments to the digital art collectibles arena in order to create a new type of best-of-both-worlds product. “I’ve been buying and investing in (music royalties) for almost 20 years,” BAND co-founder Noble Drakoln said during a live-streamed raffle of the final number in BAND’s first series of NFT “albums” May 27 (https://ibn.fm/mKrDa). “As I’ve been in the NFT space helping other companies, I realized that there was an opportunity to merge both NFT art, which was getting really popular, … with a potential DeFi project that allowed people to share in music royalties. Because, why not? Most art and most NFTs have nothing behind them. It’s just what (investors) think other people think is going to be more valuable.” BAND Royalty’s first series of 3,000 NFTs, available for sale to the public May 15 following a private pre-sale that alone netted over $700,000 in Ethereum equivalence from the most-sought-after albums in the series, presents digital works of art in a forum typical of NFT collectibles and then offers opportunities for the buyers to stake the NFTs if they want to use them to obtain a pooled apportionment of select musicians’ royalties. The first series includes royalties from music catalog selections featuring artists such as Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Beyonce and Timbaland. “It’s a secret hidden world of investing. People don’t know they can buy performance royalties of major acts. … And that these rights are always floating out there for people to acquire them on various songs that these artists performed on,” Drakoln said during the album raffle, which highlighted BAND’s collaboration with crypto exchange LATOKEN. “We listen to all these people on the radio and we don’t know that there’s actually an income stream being developed.” BAND’s website illustrates the process for obtaining potential earnings from the NFTs, beginning with a purchase of lowest vinyl-level albums (the series includes a scaled roster of increasing rarity of albums from vinyl through varied gold and platinum levels to the most-limited diamond levels) for 1 ETH each using a Metamask or Trust wallet. That puts the buyer in BAND’s Music Mogle Club, and qualifies the buyer for staking opportunities in pools that may derive royalties either from published printing of the songs, mechanical reproductions of the songs or synchronization of the songs in outside media such as ads or movies. Then, every time a song earns royalties in the applicable pooled category, 50 percent of the revenue is divvied up among the people holding shares in the pool. “These are amazing ways to participate and to really give extra value to the beauty of the NFT art you collect,” Drakoln said, noting that BAND will also tokenize the NFTs once the first series is completed to allow more people to participate and have an opportunity to access the music royalties. The company plans to have a maximum of 12,000 BAND NFTs divided among four different series, with the remaining three series to be released over the next 18 months (https://ibn.fm/00j9v). BAND also expects to eventually launch its own music label with a cadre of artists. “We’re one of the most unique NFTs in the marketplace. No one’s ever seen this. We’re attached to world-class platinum performers,” Drakoin said. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.BANDRoyalty.com.

• Friendable’s Fan Pass platform has provided revenue streams for artists that may not have existed due to the global pandemic
• Version 2.0 of the Fan Pass artist streaming platform to be released on July 24, 2021, which also marks the first anniversary of the platform
• Friendable has signed a Letter of Intent for the production of musical-artist NFTs and the creation of a “Fanpasscrypto” marketplace

The global music streaming market was valued at $24.4 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow by a CAGR of 17.8%, resulting in $76.9 billion in revenue by 2027 (https://ibn.fm/v0NFs). The increase is largely driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, with a growing number of users turning to streaming platforms in the absence of live events. Even with the lockdown restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic loosening, many venues have not opened their doors to full capacity. Companies like Friendable (OTC: FDBL), and its immersive artist streaming platform Fan Pass, are helping the music industry overcome pandemic challenges by offering multiple revenue-generating opportunities for artists both online and in venues, in a new and exciting model to promote and enjoy music. Launched at the height of the pandemic, the Fan Pass live streaming platform was designed to help artists maintain and find new earning opportunities, as well as give fans access to the artists they love, and support the industry in general. The platform has since grown exponentially and has become a valuable tool for artists to continue sharing their work, generating fan engagement and revenue, even as venues are opening. To provide even more value to its artist members and fans, Friendable is launching a 2.0 version of the Fan Pass platform, with new features and benefits for users, while also running a comprehensive 120-day strategy designed to build value in the business of livestreaming and live event content. “These next several months are going to lead us to and eventually through our version 2 mobile and web app releases, which will include an entirely new suite of features, virtual currency options, automation and, ultimately, scale,” Friendable CEO Robert A. Rositano Jr. said (https://ibn.fm/08Rjh). “It is our intent to grow our base, build our revenues and begin monetizing across the board, which we believe to be very achievable based on the results we have seen since our launch and every month following. It’s time to unveil several new features to our artists, and we look forward to watching the artists’ revenues, along with the company’s steadily increase with this next version. Stay tuned!” The Fan Pass platform is a virtual stage where artists and fans unite for one-of-a-kind shows and interactions through mobile or desktop applications. Initially launched on July 24, 2020, Fan Pass didn’t start gaining momentum until the beginning of 2021, now doubling and tripling artist sign-ups. The 2.0 version of the application is coming out on July 24, 2021, exactly one year since the initial product was launched. Fans who want to subscribe to the live music streaming platform can do so online, with a monthly plan costing about what a music download would cost on another platform. Fans can also opt for a yearly plan – gaining access to a 20% discount on the plan overall. Additionally, users can sign up for the exclusive “All Access VIP” content, which includes:

• Live performances and online concerts
• Livestreaming studio sessions
• Backstage meetups – before, during, and after a set
• Behind-the-scenes footage of video and photoshoots
• Special interviews and one-on-one videos
• Streaming highlights from “a day in the life” of a fan’s favorite artist

Artists can sign up for the Fan Pass platform for free, gaining access to a dashboard of options that allow for uploading exclusive content right away. Each artist is eligible for various revenue streams through the engagement of fans and participation in live streaming events. For example, exclusive “ticket-only” performances gain artists 100% of the sales for their shows. Through Fan Pass, artists can also take advantage of the Pro Services, which offer artists merchandising, marketing, and other helpful tools (without the necessity of a record label). Recently, Friendable and Santo Blockchain Labs and Santo Mining Corp. (OTC: SANP) signed a Letter of Intent to further extend revenue opportunities to develop global entertainment and musical-artist driven non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”). NFTs are units of data stored on the blockchain, certifying that the asset is unique and not interchangeable. The agreement also calls for the creation of an exclusive “Fanpasscrypto” marketplace (https://ibn.fm/hhoZ6). The company also rewards top artists for engagement every month, running month-long contests with cash and tangible rewards. In the past, prizes have included cash, GoPros, merchandising packages, marketing packages, streaming gear, and more. The Fan Pass platform is poised to offer even more features and opportunities for artists and fans in the upcoming 2.0 release.

• Infobird is launching the Next Generation of SaaS in China to grab a massive share of the massive and growing cloud infrastructure market
• The company is leveraging the huge growth opportunity represented by the boom of cloud infrastructure triggered by the shift towards cloud computing by businesses
• Inforbird is one of the few SaaS companies that can serve SMEs with its no-code development platform

Infobird (NASDAQ: IFBD) is a business-to-business (“B2B”) artificial intelligence (“AI”) solutions company, focused on developing AI-driven customer engagement solutions, especially for the finance segment. A premier provider of customer engagement software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) solutions in China, the company is leveraging automated and smart capabilities to maximize value for its clients. Infobird has a long-standing reputation for offering advanced cloud computing solutions to increase revenue, reduce costs, and enhance service quality and customer satisfaction. At present, Infobird is launching the next generation of SaaS in China to ride on the high growth wave in the cloud infrastructure sector. This mammoth growth can be predicted by China’s accelerating cloud migration attributed to the long-term digitalization trends of the country’s economy plus a surge in use of cloud and SaaS solutions by business enterprises. The emergence of the pandemic which led to remote work opportunities has also accelerated the increased acceptance of cloud business services (https://ibn.fm/UsDQW). Over 90% of companies in China are still small- to medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”), which contribute roughly 60% to China’s GDP. SMEs have a lower revenue contribution although their customization needs are not very complex as compared to bigger enterprises. SaaS companies that can solve these complex issues and offer viable solutions will emerge victorious in grabbing a significant share of the market revenue. While SME‘s do not have the budget for significant hardware and software updates, they can switch to SaaS subscription for improved services and reduced costs. Inforbird is one of the few SaaS companies well-equipped to serve the SME’s by leveraging its no-code development platform. Moreover, China’s SaaS market is fragmented and the top 10 vendors make up only 35% of the total market share. This leaves an enormous potential in the SaaS market to be explored by an efficient newcomer. With its many years of operational experience in the country, Infobird has served many leading enterprises in various industries, such as China Guangfa Bank and multinational eCommerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE: BABA).

• Lexaria announced significant strides in six of its studies within the 2021 applied R&D program
• All the studies are based on Lexaria’s DehydraTECH(TM) technology and are designed for multiple market applications, including oral nicotine, NSAIDs, antivirals, and hypertension
• The 2021 applied R&D program is intended to generate not only confirmatory results and data evidencing but also foster strategic commercial opportunities and corporate relationships

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX) (CSE: LXX) released a status report on six of its studies in the 2021 applied research and development (“R&D”) program. The program mainly involves studies using DehydraTECH(TM) 2.0 formulations, with different market areas of applications including oral nicotine, NSAIDs, antivirals, and hypertension. The announcement marks a significant milestone for Lexaria’s R&D program, and in an official statement announcing the status report, Lexaria also noted that the other ongoing studies would be reported separately (https://ibn.fm/OecRU). This comes after it announced a status report on two antiviral drug studies in the applied R&D program (https://ibn.fm/RVqds). The six programs covered in this announcement included:

• VIRAL-A20-2
• VIRAL-A20-3
• VIRAL-MC21-1-A
• HYPER-A21-1 and HYPER-A21-2
• NSAID-A21-1, and
• Oral Nicotine: NIC-C21-1 (Now NIC-A21-1)

VIRAL-A20-2 A tolerability and pharmacokinetic or (“PK”) study in animals using antiviral drugs. The program involved four groups of 10 animals, each dosed to determine if DehydraTECH-enhanced remdesivir and ebastine are well tolerated by the subjects and is evaluating peak concentration and total drug delivery into the bloodstream in comparison to non-enhanced controls, as is the case for other antiviral drugs. VIRAL-A20-3 An additional tolerability and PK study in animals evaluating Area Under the Curve for three other antiviral drugs.  Lexaria reported that all animal dosing and in-life procedures were completed, with sample analysis still ongoing, with a view to reporting soon. The study involved six groups of 10 animals. It is examining tolerability and quantity of drug delivery for three other antiviral drugs of interest that showed promise in their usage against the COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 virus. Lexaria indicated that the study is projected to generate reportable results either in July or August. VIRAL-MC21-1 This study being performed by Canada’s National Research Council is exploring Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (“NMR”) and Liquid Chromatography-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (“LC-HRMS”) and their application on 5 DehydraTECH-enhanced antiviral drug formulations already being studied under VIRAL-A20-2 and VIRAL-A20-3. VIRAL-MC21-1 recognizes how important molecular characterization is as a step towards determining whether the DehydraTECH technology alters the underlying drugs significantly enough to yield covalently-bonded new molecular entities (“NMEs”). These NMEs are usually subjected to stringent regulatory examination and approval processes than their non-NME alternatives. In previous studies, Lexaria has reported that NME formation did not occur following DehydraTECH formulation with other substances of interest, mainly cannabidiol (“CBD”) and nicotine. The results from this project are expected to be reported ahead of schedule. The company is targeting the announcement for the first half of July. Hyper-A21-1 and Hyper-A21-2 This study followed blood pressure testing in animals, building on previously reported successful PK study findings. It demonstrated statistically significant gains in CBD absorption relative to controls using Lexaria’s latest DehydraTECH 2.0 formulation innovations, according to results released back on May 6 (https://ibn.fm/kGrFL) and 20, 2021 (https://ibn.fm/hQ2f6). The study still requires some work, and the testing laboratory responsible for the initial research has been engaged for these follow-up tests. They will involve monitoring real-time animal blood pressure in response to specific formulations from the PK evaluations. Lexaria hopes that the work will complement previous human clinical study findings that showed a reduction in blood pressure following the use of DehydraTECH-CBD. Animal dosing and in-life procedures are yet to commence but will be reported as soon as there are significant developments in the study. NSAID-A21-1 This research is exploring the tolerability and PK study in animals, with a focus on ibuprofen and naproxen. Test articles were manufactured back in April, as scheduled, with subsequent contracts executed in early May involving animal testing laboratory performing the work. The initial animal dosing started on the week of May 17, ahead of schedule. The project is currently underway with a focus on pilot tolerability evaluations in rodents. The goal is to determine dosing that shows superior gastrointestinal tolerability, pitting Lexaria’s DehydraTECH test articles against concentration-matched controls. Pending a successful outcome of the pilot tolerability investigation, formal pharmacokinetic testing will follow.  Updates will be provided as soon as there are significant developments in the study. Oral Nicotine: NIC-C21-1 (now NIC-A21-1) This is a tolerability and PK study among animals evaluating oral nicotine. It was renamed following the move from an in vitro cell based study to an in vivo study in live anesthetized animals. This move allows Lexaria to conduct a superior evaluation of the systemic absorption of nicotine upon oral pouch product dosing within animals. Lexaria recognizes that human oral pouch dosing is a growing trend in various locations around the world. This redesigned study will offer more measurable outcomes that will yield better results that will play an integral role in further research down the line. So far, the contract has already been signed with an animal testing laboratory. Additionally, all the test articles have been manufactured and are being shipped to the lab for dosing purposes. Animal dosing is scheduled to start in July, and reporting will be provided as soon as there are significant developments in the study. About Lexaria Bioscience Corp Lexaria is a pioneer and global innovator in drug delivery platforms. Its patented technology, DehydraTECH(TM), has proven revolutionary in the delivery of fat-soluble active molecules and drugs. The technology functions by improving the way active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”) enter the bloodstream, primarily through promoting healthier oral ingestion and increasing the efficacy of the fat-soluble active molecules. This company relies on applied R&D programs to generate confirmatory results and data evidencing improved drug delivery characteristics that allow for the achievement of commercial opportunities and/or corporate relationships. The 2021 applied R&D program is the embodiment of Lexaria’s commitment to this course. Its status update on the six studies within the R&D program indicates bigger things to come for the company from a research standpoint.

These included psychedelic compounds, such as mescaline and psilocybin, and cannabinoids. The two psychedelic compounds form critical components in the company’s psychedelic medicine program, while working towards providing a foundation for its drug formulation and clinical validation work. This Vancouver-based life sciences technology accelerator is known for constantly pushing the envelope in bioscience research, focusing on next-generation drug delivery, diagnostic, and new active pharmaceutical ingredient investment opportunities. So far, it has made considerable strides in precision transdermal and oral dissolvable drug formulations, the rapid, low-cost infectious disease and oral health screening tests and, most importantly, the standardization of emerging active pharmaceutical ingredients for neurological applications (https://ibn.fm/Kuid3). XPhyto is confident that mescaline can become the next frontier in the current ongoing psychedelics renaissance. It is a product that presents the opportunity to innovate and improve on existing methods of mental health therapy, having already proven effective in the treatment of mental health-related medical conditions that include, but are not limited to anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma-related stress disorder. Mescaline is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound, typically found in specific cacti. In a recent publication by ACS Pharmacology and Translational Science, it was noted that the naturalistic use of mescaline is linked to psychiatric improvements and lasting positive life changes. It was further pointed out that its use among individuals with alcohol and drug use disorders (“AUD” and “DUD”), along with post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), all reported significant improvement following mescaline use and accompanying treatment (https://ibn.fm/lYWAo). With the current strides that XPhyto is making with its mescaline program, it is slowly laying the foundation for mental health therapy and the treatment of various mental health-related conditions. Additionally, it further plays a more significant role in sensitizing society on the usefulness and potential of psychedelic compounds and cannabinoids. XPhyto is also serving as proof of the financial viability of pharmaceutical-grade psychedelics and their use in treating psychological illnesses. “We see a significant market opportunity in the production of pharmaceutical-grade psychedelics followed by the standardization of dosage formulations with precise, predictable and efficient drug delivery for clinical study and therapeutic use,” Hugh mentioned. Currently, XPhyto has development operations in North America and Europe and an operational focus in Germany. As it focuses on scaling up its production capability, the company is also working on developing standard operating procedures (“SOP”) for GMP certification of its synthesis process.

• Pure Extracts announced initial shipment of 0.5 gram vape cartridges to Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis
• CBD vape market has experienced strong growth in recent times, with one market research firm forecasting sector to be worth over $28bn by 2027
• Pure Extracts has simultaneously sought to broaden its SKU’s within vape sector, commencing manufacture of larger, 1 gram FSO vape cartridge to better cater to changing customer demand patterns

Pure Extracts Technologies (CSE: PULL) (OTC: PRXTF) (XFRA: A2QJAJ), a plant-based extraction company focused on the cannabis, hemp, functional mushrooms, and rapidly emerging psychedelic sector, announced that its whole owned subsidiary, Pure Extracts Manufacturing Corp., had successfully shipped its initial order of 0.5 gram vape cartridges via its distribution partner to Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis (“AGLC”) (https://ibn.fm/ZMrsy). “We are excited to have shipped our first vape cart order to the Province of Alberta and are looking forward to a successful long-term relationship with AGLC that leads to a satisfied customer base and a significant contribution to our annual revenue,” said Pure Extracts CEO Ben Nikolaevsky. “We have created the high quality FSO vape products that consumers now demand and believe that we will quickly build brand loyalty with both legacy and new entrants in the vape space.” The CBD vape market has been a beneficiary of strong customer demand as of late, with Data Bridge Market Research forecasting that the sector could be worth as much as $28.05 billion by 2027 (https://ibn.fm/0pUzd). Increased CBD oil usage across a range of medical applications, such as the treatment of anxiety and depression, stress relief, diabetes prevention, pain mitigation, the alleviation of cancer symptoms, and even acne reduction are all factors which have been singled out by Data Bridge as key drivers underpinning demand growth within the segment. The announcement of the initial product shipment comes shortly after the company revealed that it had developed and begun the manufacturing process of an innovative, 1-gram, full spectrum oil (“FSO”) vape cartridge for the Canadian retail market (https://ibn.fm/RJNQZ). The move towards a larger cartridge side, which will be filled with a selection of some of the company’s 30+ proprietary cannabis FSO formulations, including Super Lemon Haze, Grand Daddy Purple, and GSC, follows an extensive study carried out by Pure Extracts, which found demand for larger cartridges to be particularly strong within provincial markets; in particular, larger cartridges were found to offer both exceptional value to customers while also generating higher margins for the company overall. Mr. Nikolaevsky commented on the new cartridges, “We are proud to be a leading innovator in the cannabis vape sector. The combination of a larger form factor with our exceptional cannabis extracts will definitely build on the loyal following Pure Pulls already has in-place.” Pure Extracts’ venture into the CBD vape market marks a continuation of the company’s ongoing diversification drive, which has seen the Pure Extracts broaden its business operations from the legacy toll processing and extraction business to encompass a series of new business verticals, including functional mushroom as well as the formulation and manufacturing of psilocybin-based active treatments.

• SGTM diverts storm-produced natural waste from landfills and transforms it into organic, environmentally-beneficial products
• Q1-2021 financial results show 16.7% YOY increase in revenue, 8.6% YOY increase in gross profit
• SGTM preparing for NASDAQ uplist, recently completed 2-year audit, commenced FORM-10 process to become fully reporting

Before they realized massive financial success, the management at Sustainable Green Team (OTC: SGTM), a leading provider of environmentally beneficial solutions for tree and storm waste disposal, prioritized their dedication to the environment. Through its various subsidiaries, SGTM diverts natural waste created by devastating storms and transforms it into organic, environmentally-beneficial products such as gardening mulch and playground surfacing material. What initially started as a small operation offering tree maintenance, debris hauling, removal and disposal services has now grown to a multi-million-dollar operation that provides services to governments across several states and produces products for sale that cross borders. “At the end of the day it’s important to share that belief that we are stewards of the environment, and that shouldn’t be understated,” said Chief Executive Officer Tony Raynor in a recent interview (https://ibn.fm/N1yx1). “We really enjoy it, and we’re passionate about what we do.” For SGTM, providing sustainable solutions to devastating problems has turned out to be massively profitable. The company recently announced its Q1-2021 financial results showing an approximate 16.7% increase in revenue and 8.6% increase in gross profit when compared to 2020 (https://ibn.fm/bM5jE). The company’s success continues to build upon its previous record-breaking year, marked by a busy storm season, the acquisition of Mulch Manufacturing Ltd. and a rise in lucrative contracts – all of which contributed to a 794% increase in revenue and a 4,817% increase in gross profit (https://ibn.fm/oi8Gm). “Our continued successful recorded financials each quarter and year-end is all thanks to our team,” said SGTM CEO and Director Tony Raynor. “I’m a firm believer that you are only as strong as your team, and our strong growing financials proves such. This year we are anticipating to continue recording strong financials as we start implementing our strategy for 2021.” Part of that strategy includes an uplist to the NASDAQ, and SGTM is edging closer to that milestone after completing a two-year audit and commencing its FORM-10 process to become fully reporting. This comes at an ideal time where the market for ethical investment continues to make gains – especially among younger generations concerned about the environment. According to a survey featured in Forbes, 60% of millennial-aged investors are willing to sacrifice profits if an investment is ethical, and 83% are considering moving their entire pension into a sustainable portfolio (https://ibn.fm/jN0Kc). SGTM demonstrates dedication to ethical business practices by providing valuable services to storm-stricken communities while diverting waste from landfills and creating products that contribute to the health of the earth. Led by a management team with several decades of next-level experience, the company is proud to offer an ethical investment opportunity that leverages its synergistic business model while being rooted in the company’s enduring commitment to environmental stewardship.
