SRAX Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX) CEO to Host Q3 2019 Financial Results Conference Call

  • SRAX, a digital marketing and consumer data management technology company, has multiple recurring revenue streams through various platforms
  • SRAX’s CEO Christopher Miglino to be joined by key members of SRAX leadership
  • Operational and financial summary call to be webcast live, accessible at company’s website

Digital marketing and consumer data management technology company SRAX Inc.’s (NASDAQ: SRAX) Founder and CEO Christopher Miglino will host the company’s conference call on November 13 at 1:30 p.m. (PST). The call will detail the company’s Q3 2019 operational and financial summary. Joining Miglino on the call will be COO Kristoffer Nelson; CFO Mike Malone; Vice President of SRAX Shopper George Stella; and Vice President of Research Sales Rick McCrady (http://ibn.fm/1fu59).

SRAX is a digital marketing and consumer data management technology company. Through development of its BIGtoken platform, SRAX offers a secure and transparent environment for consumers to own and earn from their data (http://ibn.fm/6HVPF). Developed by SRAX, BIGtoken can be downloaded from both the App Store and Google Play. This platform boasts over 16 million BIGtoken registered users worldwide and provides consumers with a safe and transparent environment for monetization of their data (http://ibn.fm/2KrZT).

Through BIGtoken, SRAX has created a symbiotic relationship between big brands desiring to know their consumers better and the consumers themselves who want to remain in control of their data at ever-increasing rates. In exchange for giving brands access to their data by answering surveys, checking into locations, referring friends, and more, BIGtoken users are rewarded with points, which they can then redeem for cash and gift cards or make charitable donations. SRAX’s technology then unlocks data to reveal the core consumers of brands across marketing channels. As one of the first companies to offer consumers a significant piece of the data pie, SRAX is building the largest and most valuable opted-in data set in the world.

Additionally, while major social media giants like Facebook are backpedaling over mismanagement of users’ privacy, SRAX‘s platform takes care of the consent issue early on in the process. SRAX asks users for permission to share data when they initially sign up for the BIGtoken platform. The company is ahead of the competition in California, where a new privacy law compliance bill designed to protect consumers’ privacy goes into effect January 1, 2020. A report from CNBC noted that the legislation may cause firms to pay in aggregate up to $55 million in initial compliance costs, according to an assessment prepared by an independent research firm for the state attorney general’s office in California (http://ibn.fm/MeWdH).

SRAX’s machine learning technology analyzes marketing data, and its BIGtoken platform enables consumers to own, manage, and sell access to their digital identity and data. This provides SRAX with valuable proprietary data and multiple revenue streams (http://ibn.fm/OEPQu).

To register for the conference call, interested parties can visit http://ibn.fm/tRWDb. The call can be heard live at (877) 451-6152 if calling from the U.S. or Canada.

OriginClear Inc. (OCLND) Implements Reverse Stock Split Aimed to Strengthen Capital Structure

  • OriginClear 1-for-2000 reverse stock split designed to prepare company for future growth, acquisitions
  • Announcement comes after OCLN posted positive financial numbers in SEC 10-K annual filing
  • CEO confident that year-over-year improvements in existing businesses will continue

OriginClear Inc. (OTC: OCLND), an advanced player in the decentralized water revolution, has announced the implementation of a 1-for-2000 reverse stock split as part of a solid financial plan designed to strengthen capital structure for future growth and acquisitions (http://ibn.fm/4RCOF). OriginClear is well-positioned in the water treatment sector, which is anticipated by some to become a trillion-dollar industry by 2020. As water scarcity looms, noted as “one of the three global systemic risks of highest concern” by The World Economic Forum, increasing numbers of businesses are looking beyond municipalities for ways to take their location’s water-treatment into their own hands. OriginClear is ready to fill this void with its onsite, point-of-use water-treatment systems which it has been pioneering the last several years, and its reverse stock split is another achievement on its path to empowering companies around the world to achieve self-reliant water independence.

The company’s reverse stock split is anticipated to help maintain the company’s bid price listing requirements on the OTCQB Venture Exchange. Implemented on October 24, the stock split resulted in the number of OriginClear outstanding shares of common stock decreasing from an estimated 6.2 billion to about 3.2 million (http://ibn.fm/nInJi). Also, as a result of the reverse stock split, the company’s common stock ticker symbol will be OCLND for 20 trading days following the implementation.

“This reverse stock split is part of a plan to strengthen our capital structure for future growth and potential acquisitions,” Riggs Eckelberry, OriginClear CEO, stated in a news release.

This strategic move comes after the company posted positive financial numbers in its April SEC 10-K annual filing. In that filing, the company reported increased revenue with narrowing operating losses. Specifically, 2018 revenue increased by 38 percent to $4,637,698 over 2017, and gross profit increased by 78 percent to $1,153,680, while margins improved by six percent overall. Operating losses narrowed by $1,231,703 to $4,062,351, a 23 percent improvement over 2017 numbers.

“While there can be no guarantee that we will complete our prospective acquisitions, we are confident that the year-over-year improvements in our existing businesses will continue,” said Eckelberry.

As part of the reverse stock split, every 2,000 shares of OriginClear’s common stock outstanding will be reclassified into one new share of common stock, with no fractional shares issued in connection with the reverse stock split. The effect of the reverse stock split on existing OriginClear stockholders will be uniform across the board, with stockholders’ percentage ownership interests in the company remaining the same, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in fractional shares. Any fractional share of common stock from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Additionally, all OCLN convertible notes, convertible preferred stock, stock options, other equity awards and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the reverse stock split will be proportionately adjusted.

OriginClear is a leading provider of water-treatment solutions. The company offers breakthrough water-treatment and conveyance products that effectively improve the quality of water by returning it to its original and clear condition. The company’s stated mission is to empower this global self-reliant water movement with its Modular Water Systems (TM) (http://ibn.fm/C1GX1), advanced water treatment and conveyance products that enable water independence and help make clean water available for all. OriginClear provides innovative water-treatment systems that not only assist companies in increasing their operating efficiency and asset value but also help those companies meet new environmental and social governance (ESG) standards.

Wonderfilm Media Corporation (TSX.V: WNDR) (OTCQB: WDRFF) Eyes Blockbuster Status as SVoD Services, Old Media Splurge

  • Old media joins SVoD services in spending splurge on content
  • Major film studios launch TV streaming services
  • Recent report calls boom ($165 billion in 2018) a “golden age of spending”

The next blockbuster in the film-production world could be Wonderfilm Media Corporation (TSX.V: WNDR) (OTCQB: WDRFF). The company is set to benefit as subscription video on demand (SVoD) services and “old media” continue to splurge on content. Streaming services such as Amazon Prime, Hulu and Netflix are driving demand for video content from independent film producers. Not to be left behind, established studios are shopping for content too, further increasing demand. The competition between old and new media has resulted in a 65 percent increase in global content spending over the last decade. This is a trend that shows no signs of abating, which augurs well for Wonderfilm. The company is well positioned to significantly increase its existing $58 million annual production slate to meet new demand.

A recent report shows how SVoD has become an essential component of U.S. domestic felicity. “Nearly three fourths of American homes, 74 percent, subscribe to at least one of the major SVoD services, Netflix, Amazon Prime or Hulu, up from just 64 percent in 2017 and 52 percent in 2015,” the article noted (http://ibn.fm/ushg6). Established film studios have taken the cue. The five majors have all launched SVoD services or have links to such services. Most notably is Disney, whose Disney+ streaming service is set to debut on November 12 this year. Spending on content from the company that produced megahit ‘The Lion King’ reached $13 billion in 2018.

Warner Bros is also in (http://ibn.fm/Nov93). Its SVoD service “will debut in the U.S. in a beta form in the fourth quarter of 2019, with a full launch in Q1 2020.” So, too, is Universal Pictures, which plans to launch its SVoD service in 2020 (http://ibn.fm/Ca0ZC). Paramount Pictures’ parent company, Viacom, already has its Paramount+ streaming services, currently available in the Nordics and across Central and Eastern Europe (http://ibn.fm/0uI6x). Sony, which owns Columbia Pictures, already has its SVoD platform, Crackle, streaming content to more than 20 countries.

The global splurge on TV, film and sports content had increased to $165 billion in 2018, up from $100 billion in 2008, with most of that increase occurring in the last five years, according to a recent Ampere Analysis report (http://ibn.fm/XYdGO). While new media outfits such as Netflix have dug deep in their wallets to purchase content, a bulk of the expenditure – $111 billion of the $165 billion spent in 2018 – has come from old media. But a dollar is a dollar, regardless of who’s spending, and indie producers stand to benefit either way.

Wonderfilm, particularly, is in a position to benefit from this liberality. The company is backed by four Hollywood producers who have produced over $1 billion worth of hit movies. Forged from a coalition of strength, WNDR brings together several leading industry execs with well-established track records of individual success. Wonderfilm is using a new, wider business model that allows the company to quickly finance and produce film and television content for both foreign and domestic markets. The company works with some of Hollywood’s top talent to create unforgettable films while providing value for its shareholders.

Movies with which members of Wonderfilm’s producing team have been involved or associated include ‘Get Out’ (2017), which cost $4.5 million to make and grossed $255 million at the box office; ‘BlacKkKlansman’ (2018), which grossed $93 million on a budget of $15 million; and ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’, which has grossed $71 million on a budget of $25 million. As of October 2019, Wonderfilm has 17 movies ready to be shot or green lit (not yet shot).

“The content creation opportunities in the market today are akin to a new gold rush,” Wonderfilm CEO Kirk Shaw stated in a news release (http://ibn.fm/SRgwI). “After thirty years in this business, I’ve have never been more excited to be a movie and TV content producer.”

No wonder the Ampere Analysis report has christened the boom a “golden age of spending.”

LiveWire Ergogenics Inc. (LVVV) Banking on SAFE Banking Act to Pass and Strengthen Company’s Position in Cannabis Space

  • Passage of SAFE Banking Act will open access to financial services for the multibillion-dollar marijuana industry
  • LiveWire focusing efforts on expanding operations on path to a vertically integrated Company
  • Acquisition of Estrella Ranch property, the LiveWire “Estate Grown Weedery” is “biggest accomplishment yet”

LiveWire Ergogenics Inc. (OTC: LVVV), a forward-thinking company involved in the acquisition, licensing and management of fully compliant turnkey facilities engaged in the production of high-quality cannabis-based products and services in California, is closely watching the progress of the SAFE Banking Act, which once passed on the Senate, would allow banks and credit unions to provide financial services to legal cannabis businesses. With LiveWire’s evolving role in the multibillion-dollar cannabis industry, as it develops its high-quality cannabis brands in the world’s first “Estate Grown Weedery,” the company has a keen interest in the status of legislation related to cannabis and is actively supporting further legalization efforts.

While many states have legalized cannabis for either medical or recreational (or both) use in recent years, under Federal law cannabis is still considered an illegal substance and the Federal Government has been slow to change its status. In December 2018 the U.S. Farm Bill was passed, which de-scheduled hemp as a Schedule 1 drug, although the use, sale and possession of cannabis with over 0.3 percent THC remains illegal under Federal law. Despite that reclassification, most financial institutions continue to avoid providing services to businesses operating in the cannabis space.

The Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act of 2019, HR19-1595, could change that. The bill was passed by the House of Representatives in September and then sent to the Senate, where it was referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs. According to the official summary by the Congressional Research Service, the SAFE Banking Act prohibits federal banking regulators from punishing a financial institution for offering financial services to a legal marijuana-related business

Passage of the SAFE Banking Act in the Senate and signing of the bill by the President will open access to broad financial services in the multibillion-dollar marijuana industry (http://ibn.fm/yPloj) and would clearly give legal and vertically integrated operators such as LiveWire a significant boost.

For the last few years LiveWire has been operating with a clear focus on “doing it right” in the cannabis industry. The company, via its subsidiary Estrella Ranch Partners has purchased the 265-acre Estrella Ranch property, which it plans to develop into one of the largest, vertically integrated, high-end cannabis facilities and wellness retreats in California. On the path to full vertical integration, the company is also expanding its state-wide distribution network operating under a license issued to its subsidiary GHC Ventures from The California Bureau of Cannabis Control.

“Our Estrella Ranch is probably the most beautiful piece of property and is considered a gem in the midst of the world renown California wine country,” said Bill Hodson, the CEO of LiveWire. It has the infrastructure, sufficient power, abundant water supply and the perfect micro-climate to put out the best possible high-quality product and establish a great portfolio of high-end brands. We feel that establishing the ‘Estrella Weedery’ as a central location to eventually house all our operations is our biggest accomplishment yet.”

“With the cannabis market expanding rapidly in California, we truly believe that “doing it right” will assure a sustainable success in this rapidly developing and changing cannabis industry” continued Hodson (http://ibn.fm/4EY9a). “While conducting the environmental research and maneuvering trough the complicated legal maze of laws, rules and regulations that one needs to comply with to operate legally, requires considerable resources, we are confident that getting behind a product that we know has enormous potential and establishing a high-quality brand, we will be able to rise above the noise in a turbulent market and continue to aggressively expand our presence in the cannabis market.”

Under Hodson’s leadership, LiveWire began exploring the cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabis market several years ago and has since grown into an operation with a unique portfolio of special-purpose properties focused on a variety of cannabis operations from cultivation to extraction and research for human and veterinarian applications. To continue on its path to full vertical integration, the company is also focused on expanding its statewide distribution network under a license granted by the California Bureau of Cannabis Control.

LiveWire Ergogenics specializes in identifying and monetizing current and future trends in the health and wellness industry. The company is focused on acquiring, managing, and licensing specialized, closed-loop, turnkey, cannabis, real-estate locations of fully compliant and permitted turnkey facilities to produce cannabis-based products and services in California and the statewide distribution of these products.

Quest Patent Research Corp. (QPRC) Creates Shareholder Value Through a Broad Portfolio of Protected IP Assets

  • Quest delivers financial, strategic and legal resources for IP monetization
  • 2019 has been a productive year for Quest with six active licensing programs and 23 or more current litigations
  • Quest’s strong, diversified portfolio includes 115 patents across 11 IP portfolios in a variety of markets

New York City-based intellectual property (IP) asset management company Quest Patent Research Corp. (OTCQB: QPRC) continues to deliver strong revenue growth while offering shareholders the opportunity to participate in a broad portfolio of dynamic assets (http://ibn.fm/F7BHS). In a recent interview with NetworkNewsAudio, Quest President and CEO Jon Scahill detailed the company’s focus on creating a liquid marketplace for innovation while protecting the underlying intellectual property.

“From patent prosecution, drafting, as well as issued patents, we’re pretty involved throughout the lifecycle of the invention,” Scahill stated in the interview (http://ibn.fm/LkXUU). “We pride ourselves on helping to sustain a liquid marketplace for innovation, helping investors with compelling inventions bring those to market, or finding other exit strategies.”

Quest’s commitment to helping owners monetize compelling IP can be found in a recently filed infringement case relating to the iPhone’s payments technology. The lawsuit, filed April 12 against Apple Inc. through Quest’s majority-owned and controlled subsidiary, Quest NetTech, alleges willful and deliberate infringement involving a universal financial data system technology currently in Quest’s portfolio (http://ibn.fm/hNWd2). The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas; Case No. 2:19-cv-00118-JRG.

As an intellectual property asset management company that delivers financial, strategic and legal resources for IP monetization, Quest partners with inventors, businesses, corporations and law firms to fully realize the value of IP assets through its suite of value-added services. Along the course of building a strong, diversified portfolio, Quest recorded $7 million in patent licensing fees in 2018.

The company currently owns, controls or manages over 115 patents across 11 intellectual property portfolios. Quest began trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in May 2019, which Scahill said in a news release (http://ibn.fm/2qvAZ) was “an exciting milestone for QPRC.”

Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. (TSX: FAF) (OTC: FFLWF) Maximizing Cannabis Experience via Education and Customization

  • Owns or has interests in 24 cannabis retail stores throughout Canada, 65 stores expected by July 2020
  • Creates personalized shopping experience through Hifyre platform, new Spark Perks membership program
  • Looking to promising markets for international expansion

Fire & Flower Holdings Corp. (TSX: FAF) (OTC: FFLWF) is a leading, purpose-built, independent, adult-use cannabis retailer that provides a guided and informed experience that challenges preexisting cannabis stereotypes. Fire & Flower owns or has interests in cannabis retail-store licenses in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario as well as the Yukon territory. The company currently has 24 retail stores operating in Canada with the expectation to have a total of 65 stores open by July 2020.

Fire & Flower is tackling the complex world of cannabis through education-focused, best-in-class retailing. In-store staff members called cannistas work with consumers to maximize their cannabis experience. These experts share inspiring insights, easy-to-follow advice and as much or as little education as the customer desires. The experience is heightened through the use of Hifyre(TM), a digital platform that connects visitors with cannabis products. The goal is to provide the perfect personalized experience and product every time.

Best-in-class retailing goes beyond the variety and quality of the product offered: Fire & Flower retail stores pride themselves on creating a personalized shopping experience and using technology as part of its growth strategy. The Hifyre platform is used to better understand the needs of customers and to communicate more effectively with vendor partners. Hifyre Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fire & Flower.

As a digital retail and analytics platform, Hifyre supports Fire & Flower’s advanced operations by providing a competitive advantage in understanding consumer behaviors in the rapidly changing cannabis market. Data from this platform is used to continually improve the customer experience and help guide vendor partners in curating the type of products customers want to purchase.

In September, Fire & Flower launched a new cannabis-members program throughout the company’s retail network and the Hifyre platform (http://ibn.fm/xQqBB). Called Spark Perks(TM), this new program provides members with exclusive benefits that include faster checkout, exclusive deals and content, and members-only events. As of October 28, 2019, Fire & Flower reported Spark Perks had grown to more than 38,000 members, with 33 percent of those members making more than one purchase.

Canada is set to experience a surge in derivative product launches by mid-December since “legalization 2.0” is now officially in effect. The market in Canada is changing rapidly, and with those changes comes new terminology, accessories, acceptance and culture. Fire & Flower is working to guide consumers through these changes in an enjoyable, stress-relieving way.

Keeping time with the evolving market, Fire & Flower CEO Trevor Fencott refers to the company’s business model as “retail 2.0” and reported that “since the launch of the Spark Perks program, Fire & Flower has seen an increase in customer engagement and basket size of members across our retail network. The launch of the Spark Perks member program demonstrates Fire & Flower’s continued commitment to be a leading data-driven, ‘retail 2.0’ company.”

Derivatives are a more intriguing way to reach a younger generation of consumers and could provide Fire & Flower with products that come with significantly higher margins. A spending breakdown of derivatives shows that dried flower, already a main component of Fire & Flower’s retail, is projected to remain the leading source of sales at 43 percent, followed by vape pens at 23 percent, edibles and beverages at 13 percent, concentrations at nine percent and pre-rolls at seven percent (http://ibn.fm/lStpc). For now, Fire & Flower online retail consists of dried flowers, cannabis oil, accessories and apparel.

As the cannabis industry continues to grow, Fire & Flower has its eyes on the global market. Fencott, who is looking at Canada as “a microcosm of the global scene,” has a 24-month execution plan to max out the opportunity share in Canada and is considering other promising markets as international expansion prospects (http://ibn.fm/KVmXt).

BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE: BEV) (OTC: BVNNF) (FRA: 7BC) Enters Billion-Dollar Vape Market, Brings Bloom Brand to Canada

  • BEV partners with Capna; signs LOI to manufacture, possess and sell vape products in Canada
  • Company to sell products legally under license from Health Canada
  • Cannabis, CBD and hemp-infused drinks market estimated to hit $1.4 billion by 2024 in the U.S.

BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE: BEV) (OTC: BVNNF) (FRA: 7BC) has signed an LOI with high-profile cannabis operator Capna Intellectual Inc., the production partner of Bloom, to bring the Bloom brand, including its vaping products, to Canada. Both BEV and Capna are working towards a definitive agreement calling for BEV to manufacture, possess and sell Bloom cannabis products, such as vaping cartridges and disposables, as it receives licensing approval from Health Canada (http://ibn.fm/QsDn7).

The agreement also calls for BEV to sell other cannabis products including cannabis concentrates and extracts on behalf of Capna. In addition, BevCanna would be granted an exclusive license for certain technology and branding assets in Canada in connection with its manufacturing of cannabis products for Capna.

As part of the agreement, BEV subscribed for $250,000 of 135,747 preferred Seed Series Preferred Shares in the capital of Capna. Upon signing the definitive agreement, Bev expects to subscribe for another $250,000 in Capna shares.

“The JV with Bloom is an excellent opportunity for BevCanna to partner with a strong, reputable brand in the vape category,” said BevCanna chief communications officer Emma Andrews. “Canadians are eager to see more vape options from trustworthy retailers, and we’re excited to be able to provide that.”

In addition to BevCanna being the exclusive distributor for Capna in Canada, the partnership also calls for the company to be the exclusive distributor in California if Capna should enter the beverage market. BEV would also hold first right of refusal to be exclusive beverage manufacturer in any other U.S. state should Capna expand its products to the beverage space.

The move puts BEV at the intersection of two growing cannabis sectors: cannabis-infused beverages and vaping. In the United States, the cannabis-infused beverage market, including cannabis, CBD and hemp, is forecast to reach $1.4 billion by 2024, according to consultant Zenith Global (http://ibn.fm/1NvRD). That represents an incredible jump of almost 15 times from the estimated $89 million the category represented in 2018.

Vaping in Canada, now legal, is also seen as a potentially lucrative market for legal companies in this sector. The Cannabis Council of Canada estimates that the illicit market in vaping in Canada prior to legalization was an estimated $1 billion. As a legal market today, the space is regulated by Health Canada, which officially licenses producers of vape products, edibles, extracts and topical.

Based in British Columbia, Canada, BevCanna develops and manufactures cannabis-infused beverages and consumer products for white-label clients and in-house brands. The company’s common shares began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange last July. BevCanna’s vision is to become a global leader in infused innovations, and its recent moves have positioned it well for growth in multiple burgeoning sectors.

Spectrum Global Solutions Inc. (SGSI) Gets Down to Business in Canada

  • Spectrum expands ADEX subsidiary into Canada
  • Company continues international operations in Puerto Rico, U.S. mainland, Hawaii, and U.S. Virgin Islands
  • SGSI wins key two-year, nationwide, engineering-services contract to support 5G deployment by tier-1 infrastructure aggregator

A recent announcement from Spectrum Global Solutions Inc. (OTCQB: SGSI) shows the company is getting down to business in Canada. Spectrum is expanding its ADEX subsidiary into Canada as part of the company’s continued international expansion efforts.

It appears to be the ideal time. Canada is racing ahead with 5G, with the University of British Columbia (UBC) carrying the torch. The renowned research academic institution has become the first 5G-smart campus in Canada, according to one news report, a move likely to turn into a trend (http://ibn.fm/E9Snq). As Canadian 5G implementation continues, Spectrum is stepping up deployment of its spectrum of telecommunications services. The company owns and operates several subsidiaries — ADEX Corporation, AW Solutions, Tropical Communications and TNS — that allow it to provide comprehensive solutions covering all aspects of wireless and fiber networks and infrastructure.

Spectrum acquired ADEX Corporation, an Alpharetta, Georgia-based company, and ADEX Puerto Rico LLC — both companies that offer turnkey wireless and wireline telecom services and project professional and technical staffing — in early 2018. ADEX has been in operation since 1993 supporting international telecommunications companies throughout project life cycles of existing and next-generation network deployments (http://ibn.fm/xus0H).

Now ADEX Canada has been formed to address network-infrastructure service opportunities with both new and existing tier-1 clients in the Canadian market. The subsidiary will offer turnkey professional service solutions that include engineering, furnishing, installation, testing and integration services for wireline, wireless, broadband, VoIP, 4G/5G and public-safety communications networks. ADEX service capabilities extend from the most basic installation functions to the most advanced engineering challenges, which allows companies to increase the capabilities of their existing departments without having to add personnel, facilities or equipment.

Tier-1 telecommunications companies build and own the basic infrastructure of the internet, such as the undersea cables that connect the United States and Europe. In the U.S. internet region, the present tier-1 club is an elite group of five companies consisting of AT&T, Century Link (which has absorbed Qwest and Global Crossing), NTT/Verio, Sprint (Softbank Broadband) and Verizon (http://ibn.fm/AeM2e).

Spectrum recently won a key two-year, nationwide, engineering-services contract to support a tier-1 infrastructure aggregator’s 5G project. The contract is for outside plant-engineering services surrounding an optical, fiber-fed, 200+ site, metropolitan-area, 5G infrastructure deployment (http://ibn.fm/GB69w).

AW Solutions Inc. and AW Solutions Puerto Rico LLC provide best-in-class communications infrastructure deployment services to carriers, OEMs, PMOs, utilities and enterprise clients by offering full turnkey wireless and wireline service solutions. AW Solutions holds professional engineering licenses in all contiguous states and Hawaii as well as in the District of Columbia; the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador; and in Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Tropical Communications Inc. is a state-licensed electrical and underground utility contractor headquartered in Miami, Florida, that has been in operation since 1984. The company provides all types of communications and structured wiring services and solutions for facility infrastructure.

TNS Inc. is a Des Plaines, Illinois-based company that offers design, installation and maintenance of structured cabling-system solutions to the enterprise market. With its operations nationwide and abroad, TNS has been supporting telecommunication networks for more than 16 years.

Through its subsidiaries, Spectrum Global Solutions has developed into a comprehensive, single-source provider of professional services and solutions specializing in the development, deployment and maintenance of wireline, wireless, Distributed Antenna System (DAS), small cell, and fiber networks and infrastructure. The company’s services range in scope from a single activity to multiyear, multi-region, large-scale turnkey development contracts with a deepening pool of international, national, regional and local clients. Spectrum Global Solutions has completed more than 150,000 project activities on wireless, DAS, wireline and fiber networks across the United States by utilizing licensed professional engineers, project managers, technicians and general contractors.

  • Focused on China’s emerging industrial hemp and CBD market, which is predicted to reach over $20 billion by 2022

ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) is a leading financial news platform for the global Chinese-speaking community. The company offers real-time financial information in Chinese language character sets. By concentrating on the Chinese-speaking markets, CIIX has carved out its own unique niche. This same business model is being applied to the burgeoning cannabidiol (CBD)-based nutrition and health industry.

Early on, CIIX recognized opportunities in the U.S. cannabis industry and began laying groundwork to capitalize on the demand for quality CBD products in the Chinese-speaking community. The wholly owned subsidiary CBD Biotech Inc. was created to allow CIIX to focus on investor education products and services. The company has already established itself with the first Chinese-language CBD store online, a CBD pop-up kiosk in Glendale Galleria Mall in California, and the launch of its rebranded CBD consumer product line. Now, CBD Biotech is reaching out beyond the U.S. and is focused in on China’s emerging market, predicted to reach over $20 billion by 2022. CIIX’s CEO Warren Wang has stated that the company hopes for a Nasdaq IPO of CBD Biotech late in FY2019 or early 2020 (http://ibn.fm/bw6Q9). The company’s goal is to become the leading Chinese CBD public trading company.

Recently, the 2019 China Industrial Cannabis Investment Seminar was held in Shanghai, bringing together a myriad of companies and individuals interested in the industrial hemp market. The conference took place October 31, 2019 and was attended by CBD Biotech executives who are now gearing up to attend the 2019 China Industrial Cannabis CBD Industry International Conference in Haerbing, slated for November 23-24, 2019. Both conferences enable CBD Biotech executives to share information and education on the company’s industrial hemp-infused skincare and cosmetic products, showcase its hemp wine, feature new products soon to launch, and discuss strategic plans for future development.

As one of the first movers in this market, CBD Biotech will meet with companies and executives in China who are also active or are considering entry into the industrial hemp market. There is also ample opportunity to network with foreign industrial hemp companies, institutional investors, secondary market institutional investors, and other high net worth investors who are interested in the industrial hemp market in China. Currently, in China, there is a potential market for hemp-infused/CBD skincare and cosmetics of nearly 1.4 billion people. ChineseInvestors.com, through its subsidiary CBD Biotech, is well positioned to take advantage of this market.

OriginClear Inc. (OCLND) Water-Treatment Solutions Meet ESG Standards, Boost Property Value

  • ESG standard becoming important distinction in investing world
  • OCLN onsite modular products offer customers water independence through ownership, operational control over water quality
  • OriginClear water-treatment systems provide companies path to improving ESG standings

Deeply committed to its slogan – above and beyond clear water – OriginClear Inc. (OTC: OCLND) provides companies with much more than simply water treatment solutions. As companies opt for OCLN’s proprietary water treatment systems, they are also meeting new Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) standards, which are fast becoming an invaluable distinction in the investing world.

“ESG is a set of investing guidelines being adopted by more and more large funds, family offices, and so forth all over the world,” OCLN CEO Riggs Eckelberry explained in a news release (http://ibn.fm/xzacu). “Trillions are being invested in companies that are ESG-portfolio companies.”

A Forbes article (http://ibn.fm/Ngf5t) reported that “responsible investing is widely understood as the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into investment processes and decision-making. ESG factors cover a wide spectrum of issues that traditionally are not part of financial analysis, yet may have financial relevance. This might include how corporations respond to climate change, how good they are with water management, how effective their health and safety policies are in the protection against accidents, how they manage their supply chains, how they treat their workers and whether they have a corporate culture that builds trust and fosters innovation.”

Choosing OriginClear makes sense on more than just the environmental level. As current infrastructure fails at providing clean water, companies must look beyond traditional solutions. OriginClear manufactures and distributes professional-grade water treatment and conveyance products for both commercial and industrial properties, including hotels and resorts, housing developments, office buildings, military installations, schools, manufacturing facilities, industry warehouses, oil and gas producers, farms and much more.

The company’s Modular Water Systems(TM) provide quick, efficient water purification, recycling, and wastewater management. OCLN’s onsite modular products offer customers water independence through ownership and operational control over water quality. OriginClear customers see increased productivity while reducing environmental, health and safety risks from pollution, contamination and corrosion.

OriginClear clients enjoy much more than onsite systems that provide purification and recycling levels that centralized systems can’t achieve. In addition to producing cleaner water, OriginClear systems can actually boost real estate asset value as a fundamental capital improvement, combined with long-lasting water savings for the corporate bottom line. And with OriginClear providing a way for organizations to improve their environmental, social and governance (ESG) standings with world-class water management, the company is in a sweet spot for water-treatment solutions.

Providing a clear solution for companies to facilitate their own water treatment, recycle water, and reduce their carbon footprint is a win in all areas. As OriginClear becomes a leader in the growing water treatment industry, the company provides exciting possibilities for potential investors evaluating opportunities that reach beyond the bottom line and meet ESG standards. “As evidence has grown that ESG issues have financial implications, the tide has shifted,” the Forbes article reported. “In many important markets, including the U.S. and the EU, ESG integration is increasingly seen as part of fiduciary duty.”

OriginClear is a leading provider of water treatment solutions. OCLN offers breakthrough water treatment and conveyance products that effectively improve the quality of the planet’s waters by returning them to their original and clear condition. To accomplish this, OriginClear deploys advanced technologies at the point of use with modular, prefabricated systems that create durable assets and water independence for industry, commerce and agriculture. The company’s stated mission is to empower this global movement with modular water treatment and conveyance products that enable water independence and help make clean water available for all.
