• SGLB awarded final phase of RTE contract with leading global energy technology company
• Successful completion of Phase 2 contract could result in material commercial order from global client
• Sigma Labs establishing enviable position in 3D printing industry with breakthrough PrintRite3D software

Sigma Labs Inc. (NASDAQ: SGLB), a leading developer of quality assurance software for the commercial 3D-printing industry, announced that it has been awarded a Phase 2 rapid test and evaluation (RTE) contract by a leading global energy technology company. This final phase of an RTE contract is required to enable end-users to make a purchase decision on deploying Sigma’s technology in serial production (http://ibn.fm/iezKd).

The two-machine contract for the deployment of Sigma Lab’s PrintRite3D(R) in-process quality assurance software comes after the successful Phase 1 completion of the rapid test and evaluation (RTE) program. Sigma Labs anticipates that a successful Phase 2 RTE outcome could result in a material commercial order from the customer that would integrate PrintRite3D into existing dedicated commercial production machines. This contract has significant implications for Sigma as it continues to penetrate the global energy service sector (http://ibn.fm/BYQGB), which has been “projected to reach USD 86.9 billion by 2024 from an estimated USD 52 billion in 2019.”

“The conversion from our initial test and evaluation program to the Phase 2 pilot rollout is a testament to the traction our enabling technology is garnering in the additive manufacturing industry,” said Sigma Labs chairman and CEO John Rice. “We look forward to working with this well-respected industry leader known for their innovative technology and superior service to drive improved and serial printing quality on their production lines.”

It wasn’t revealed until the Q3 earnings call that the RTE customer is Baker Hughes. Baker Hughes provides technology and services that enable oil and gas companies in more than 120 countries to deliver safe, affordable energy to the world. Baker Hughes’ vast technological prowess creates value by developing new ways to improve well construction efficiency, integrates technology and services to develop new solutions that accelerate and optimize hydrocarbon production, and researches new ways to increase ultimate recovery.

The announcement of the Phase 2 contract was followed with other impressive news from Sigma as it continues to gain traction and recognition in the industry. The company was also selected by a major Japanese OEM machine tool manufacturer for a test and evaluation program of PrintRite3D’s real-time, melt-pool analytics (http://ibn.fm/HRWBx). SGLB was also awarded a contract by VTT Technical Centre of Finland to install PrintRite3D at the VTT 3DMetalprint Centre for Additive Manufacturing, enabling VTT to best support its customers’ development activities.

Sigma Labs is a leading provider of quality assurance software to the commercial 3D printing industry under the PrintRite3D brand. Founded in 2010, Sigma is a software company that specializes in the development and commercialization of real-time, computer-aided inspection solutions for 3D advanced manufacturing technologies. Sigma Labs’ advanced computer-aided software product revolutionizes commercial additive manufacturing, enabling nondestructive quality assurance mid-production, thereby allowing errors to be corrected in real time.

• LiveWire plans on transforming new 265-acre ranch in Paso Robles into central base
• LiveWire implements unique business model that CEO believes gives company edge in booming cannabis industry
• Hodson compares company’s approach in cannabis industry to successful business model in established wine industry

LiveWire Ergogenics Inc. (OTC: LVVV) is an innovative company in the health and wellness industry that focuses on identifying and monetizing trends through special-purpose real-estate acquisitions. The Anaheim, California-based company is gaining traction in the cannabis industry with its foundational emphasis on ‘doing it right’ (http://ibn.fm/ZqbR0).

Today, CBD is one of the most prominent products in the health and wellness industry, and LiveWire is creating a new type of path towards profit in order to capitalize on this fast-growing industry. CBD accounts for roughly 40% of the plant’s extract and has a broad array of potential medical applications (http://ibn.fm/ff8ya). LiveWire has planned expansion into the sports and cosmetics markets for CBD or THC-infused products.

Another facet to the company’s strategic plan involves real-estate development. LiveWire is involved in the licensing and management of different turnkey facilities across the state for the production of top-quality, cannabis-based products and services. The company intends to use multiple real-estate properties to develop and distribute its products and also lease to third-party operators. The strategic selection of ideal permitted properties is something that the team at LiveWire believes gives the company a major edge over its competition.

Paso Robles, the newly acquired Estella Ranch property, is an ideal example of this. The company plans on turning the 265-acre ranch into a high-end cannabis facility and wellness retreat to enhance both production and branding. LVVV CEO Bill Hodson said in a news release (http://ibn.fm/agxkx) that the acquisition of what is expected to be LiveWire’s central hub “propelled (LiveWire) into the next stage of the company’s business plan to become one of the first truly vertically integrated and high-end cannabis companies in California.”

With a calculated approach, LiveWire has gained momentum in the promising cannabis industry, one that some experts expect to reach $80 billion by 2030 (http://ibn.fm/KtBkC). The company has a statewide cannabis distribution license and cooperates with multiple strategic partners to develop high-quality products across California. Hodson believes that consumers will “appreciate the family-farm style of locally produced artisanal cannabis products.”

In addition, Hodson likens LiveWire’s innovative approach in the cannabis industry to business models that have proven successful in the wine industry. By acquiring real estate with an optimal microclimate in the heart of California, LiveWire holds an advantageous position over other major players in the state’s flourishing cannabis business. In fact, Paso Robles is known for its wineries and olive groves. Hodson spoke about plans to make Estrella Ranch the first estate-grown weedery, saying “we support the appellation model to establish designations-of-origin, similar to the wine industry, as our strategy to create a unique, profitable and sustainable business.”

• SRAX holds competitive advantage as big brands seek solutions that legacy partners cannot address
• Thousands joining BIGtoken platform daily with minimal marketing
• Four nonprofits, three CPG brands added to opt-in platform, increasing usage, reputation and reach

SRAX Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX) sits at the epicenter of consumer privacy and data ownership. Leveraging its BIGtoken platform, the Company has made it possible for consumers to own their own data and get paid for the release of that data while also creating specific data sets around highly valuable verticals. On November 13, 2019, SRAX hosted a conference call for executives to share Q3 earnings and a forward look into Q4 with investors (http://ibn.fm/j8ME2).

“Consumers are awakening to their online privacy and value exchange that exists for their personal information,” George Stella, SRAX’s vice president for brands and shopper marketing, stated in a news release. “Privacy regulations are happening fast now with California or CCPA and other states taking hold, and these conditions are creating a competitive advantage for us because big brands are moving to find solutions that their legacy partners can no longer address.”

These changes, both in the United States and globally, along with the ability to provide brands with a complete view of a consumer’s journey, have given SRAX a distinct competitive advantage. The BIGtoken platform is the means by which consumers are enabled to own their own data. As of the call, subscriber base has grown to 16.3 million users with minimal marketing spending, positioning the Company as a leader in this space. The platform continues to see anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 people join a day.

The platform has expanded globally and is listed in the top 100 applications in the App Store and Google Play. The opt-in, user-controlled data set has proven to be the perfect remedy to GDPR’s impact. In addition to the acceptance it has seen in the 28 member countries of the European Union, the platform has also seen significant growth in Brazil, Indonesia, Italy and the Philippines. SRAX is strongly positioned to conduct research worldwide for big brand global organizations.

During Q3, BIGtoken added the ability for consumers to donate their earnings to the American Heart Association, HealthCorps, The ALS Association and Keep a Child Alive. Users from more than 20 countries have already donated to these nonprofits. During this same time, the Company’s BIG Rewards program, an exclusive offer for consumers to redeem earnings at specific retailers, added Procter & Gamble, Kraft and Sun-Maid. These three major CPG brands evaluated the platform and saw it as an innovative way to gain quality data.

The BIG Rewards program creates additional revenue for the organization while also bringing new users to the BIGtoken platform. The program allows companies access to a user base that has high privacy settings on social media, a consumer group that brands might typically have a hard time reaching.

A second platform, SRAX IR, is focused on helping CEOs and CFOs identify, manage and communicate with their investor base in groundbreaking ways. A few of the platform’s features include the ability to track shareholders’ behaviors and trends over time, get real-time market data including your company’s level two data, and engage shareholders across marketing channels including social media, email, and programmatic. Subscribing companies can utilize SRAX to turn their shareholder base into a revenue stream.

Additional verticals allow SRAX to sell access to specific data sets to an increasing number of brands. The two platforms are being leveraged to build crossover into the verticals. “We spent the past few quarters integrating our platforms and realigning the sales process and are now well positioned for growth,” added SRAX CEO Christopher Miglino. “Looking ahead, we expect to accelerate revenue by engaging with big brands across all three of our platforms.”

As the demand for data insights increase, SRAX is confident in growth prospects across its verticals. During Q3, the Company raised $5.5 million through a registered direct offering. As of September 30, 2019, SRAX reported being debt free, having cash and cash equivalents on hand of $2.8 million, and having approximately 13.9 million shares outstanding compared to 9.9 million in September 2018.

The best way to understand the BIGtoken platform is to join and discover how surveys are conducted and consumers are given control over personal data.

• LVVV generated 935% jump in Q3 2019 revenues over last year; net income for 2019 quarter rose
• LiveWire accelerating build-out of ‘weedery’ at Estrella Ranch, taking aggressive measures to increase revenue
• LVVV seeking to become one of first truly vertically integrated, high-end cannabis companies in California

LiveWire Ergogenics Inc. (OTC: LVVV), a company operating within the health and wellness industry and focused on special purpose real estate acquisitions and the licensing and management of fully compliant turnkey facilities engaged in the production of cannabis-based products and services in California, recently documented significant net income gains for the three and six months of 2019. These figures, along with its emphasis on both producing and distributing world-class cannabis throughout the state of California, illuminate the company’s unique positioning in the ever-evolving cannabis industry.

In its report, the company noted a 935% boom in revenues, reaching $184,200 for Q3 2019 from $17,790 the same period the prior year (http://ibn.fm/PN6qs). For the 2019 quarter – the three months ended September 30 – LVVV showed a net income of $94,749 compared to a loss of $1,717,712 reported for the comparable period in 2018. Additionally, the company reported a gross profit of $177,240 in the 2019 quarter compared to a loss of $27,119 for the same period in 2018. The company has also improved its balance sheet, showing current assets of $3,081,048 and exceeding current liabilities by $539,570 as of September 30, 2019.

LiveWire has a statewide cannabis-distribution license from the California Bureau of Cannabis Control. Its facility in the central part of the state is seen as the base for the company’s activities and development of high-end brands with the cooperation of its strategic partners. Additionally, LVVV is working to create the world’s first estate-grown ‘weedery’ at the Estrella Ranch, located in central California. By keeping overhead low and making strategic, economical use of working capital while improving its asset base, LVVV remains laser-focused on its mission of “doing it right”—literally, from the ground up.

“Our acquisition of the Estrella Ranch property in Paso Robles, California, in June 2019, propelled us into the next stage of the company’s business plan to become one of the first truly vertically integrated and high-end cannabis companies in California,” said LVVV CEO Bill Hodson.

As revenues and profits grow, LVVV said the company is accelerating the build-out of its ‘weedery’ and taking aggressive measures to generate additional revenue. With that end in mind, LiveWire is creating the high-quality Estrella Weedery brand.

“To capitalize on the increasing market demand, we have positioned ourselves as the world’s first estate-grown weedery at Estrella Ranch and will produce only the highest quality Craft Cannabis in a unique microclimate, which we consider the farm of the future,” said Hodson. He also noted that LVVV is seeking to emulate the model of designations-of-origin similar to the wine industry. That strategy is designed to create a unique, profitable and sustainable business, he said. LVVV believes consumers will appreciate the family-farm style of locally produced cannabis products.

LiveWire is focused on acquiring, managing and licensing specialized, cannabis-permitted, turnkey locations to produce cannabis-based products and services in California and distribute those products statewide.

• MCTC Holdings Inc.’s work to develop cannabis-based infusion technologies has resulted in a compound that is a legitimate replacement for alcohol beverages
• The alcohol replacement technology is revolutionary because while based on hemp, levels are so low the hemp extracts utilized register on testing equipment as undetectable
• The company’s latest IP will form the basis of an ongoing series of products that will make up the company’s Hemp You Can Feel™ brand and may also be licensed as a white label product for other companies

Cannabis infusion technology is a new frontier in the fast-expanding industry derived from society’s newfound interest in the once-outlawed and sometimes still-illicit leafy green plant’s possible pain-relieving properties and other potential health applications. Infusion technology allows key chemical components to be extracted from the plant and mixed into food and beverage products as beneficial ingredients. Innovative infusion technology developer MCTC Holdings Inc. (OTC: MCTC) is building a unique intellectual property portfolio of hemp extract and cannabinoid infusion technologies, thus far filing four patents within this area of the marketplace.

MCTC recently announced a new class of hemp infusion technology designed to replace alcohol in many beverages, to be marketed under its Hemp You Can Feel™ brand.

“While the technology is based on hemp extracts, levels are many magnitudes lower than are typically seen in the marketplace,” CEO Arman Tabatabaei stated in a November 25 news release (http://ibn.fm/TaXGJ). “In fact, certified laboratory testing utilizing High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) certified undetectable levels of hemp extracts and cannabinoids. Simply put, we believe this is a revolutionary technology for the marketplace and a legitimate replacement for alcohol in many beverages.”

One of MCTC’s primary purposes since its reorganization in June has been to develop cannabis-based polymeric solid nanoparticles and nanofibers that can be added into consumer products and used topically on the skin. Nanotechnology has been used in the food and medicine industries for some time to turn extremely small substances such as polymers into delivery mechanisms – postal carriers, in effect – that posit beneficial compounds into a consumer’s bloodstream on an express delivery basis, bypassing the snail mail route of the digestive system.

The company has developed an innovative, edible, dissolvable film, a water-soluble form of vitamin E, a unique 3D-printed cannabinoid delivery system for beverages, and a broad-property means of delivering nanoparticles and nanofibers as its pending patents, in partnership with its research wing.

MCTC adds, however, that the minuscule technology used for infusion purposes in this newest patent application are not based on its nanoparticle research.

“One of the biggest technological challenges was stabilizing the formulation into a substrate. We were fortunate that our researchers were able to work with a major food ingredient manufacturer that provided the exact expertise and associated non-GMO technologies allowing us to complete the last piece of the research puzzle,” Tabatabaei stated. “This development was most certainly an interdisciplinary success based on extensive collaboration between our researchers and others in the food sciences industry.”

The newest addition to the intellectual property portfolio will be followed by a series of IP that are ultra-clean, non-GMO and 100 percent natural in their makeup to be used in a host of beverage and food formulations for “unparalleled relaxation” while allowing the consumer to avoid the negative health effects of alcohol consumption.

MCTC will use the technology for its unfolding Hemp You Can Feel™ product brand but will also license the technology and white label-produce products at its Los Angeles production facility, “as appropriate.”

Fortune Business Insights analysts forecast the cannabis-infused beverage substrate of the cannabis industry will see a valuation of $2.05 billion by 2026, marking an increased CAGR of 37.13 percent from its 2018 level of $173.76 million (http://ibn.fm/SQBED). A recent Arcview Research report predicts the overall cannabis edibles market, including candies, chocolates and pills, could exceed $4.1 billion in Canada and the United States alone by 2022 (http://ibn.fm/pSqxW).

• Spectrum Global Solutions is an end-to-end market solutions provider for communications networks, providing and maintaining infrastructure for wireless and wired-in products
• The rush by major carriers to secure enhanced-speed 5G wireless network space is creating a boom in opportunity for infrastructure builders, and Spectrum Global is increasingly competitive in the industry
• Spectrum Global’s just-released financial results for the third quarter show the company’s portfolio growing with the addition of German energy system crystal tech developer WaveTech GmbH
• The addition of millions of dollars in new and renewed contracts, including tier 1 carriers, demonstrates the level of confidence and attention focused on Spectrum Global’s services

A recently released third quarter financial report is sending strong signals about telecommunications network infrastructure builder Spectrum Global Solutions Inc. (OTCQB: SGSI) following months of new contract and portfolio-building activity that has allowed the company to simultaneously eliminate $4.7 million in both debt and accrued interest, strengthening its balance sheet.

“We expect to see encouraging growth through the remainder of the fourth quarter and into 2020, chiefly driven by growing investments in 5G networks across the United States by all major carriers,” Spectrum Global CEO Roger Ponder stated in a company news release announcing the quarterly results (http://ibn.fm/9GUIk).

Gross profits during the third quarter rose to 18 percent of revenues from 16.6 percent the year previous, as a result of “minor fluctuations of margins” in existing contracts.

“We are better positioned to seize the immense opportunities facing us today than at any time in our history now that we have closed on the acquisition of WaveTech and their incredible technology,” Ponder added. “I look forward to continuing operational execution and creating long-term value for our shareholders.”

WaveTech GmbH is a multinational technology company based in Germany that provides energy management, data analytics and monitoring services to other businesses. WaveTech’s patented Crystal Control Technology (registered) uses electrodynamic fields to stimulate the growth of beneficial crystals or to prevent undesirable crystal formation build-up, specifically within lead-acid batteries used in a variety of energy storage applications whose lifespan may be affected by such crystals, including batteries used in telecommunications networks and data centers (http://ibn.fm/y3xqj).

Spectrum Global’s excitement over the acquisition stems from expectations the CCT technology will help the company make energy supply much more cost-efficient, reliable and eco-friendly by protecting the energy infrastructure for telecommunications networks. That will in turn deliver a significant decrease in costly backup energy requirements for these critical energy assets (http://ibn.fm/l36XN).

The end-to-end telecommunications network service provider is increasingly competitive to provide needed construction and maintenance as carriers large and small prepare to build or adopt enhanced-speed 5G wireless networks worldwide. During the year thus far, SGSI has renewed a three-year contract with a tier 1 infrastructure aggregator for professional engineering and design services related to a new 5G network in a major metropolitan area, and received a total of $6.9 million in new contract awards across all its subsidiaries for new and existing clients in addition to revenues from ongoing service agreements with tier 1 carriers and infrastructure aggregators.

“Our recent expansion into the Canadian market alongside tier-1 clients is particularly exciting as well, further expanding our reach and allowing us to better service our multinational clients across borders,” Ponder stated. “The Canadian expansion of our ADEX Subsidiary presents exciting cross selling opportunities across our various businesses as well.”

Spectrum Global fulfills both wireless and wireline projects for carriers, aggregators, enterprise services, project management offices (PMOs) and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of all sizes, including well-known names such as Ericsson, Nokia, Sprint, AT&T and Verizon.

• Trxade’s platform is growing with 100+ new pharmacies each month
• Subsidiary Bonum Health is an affordable, convenient alternative for non-emergency care, providing healthcare services to areas where they were not accessible before
• Trxade targets U.S. independent pharmacy market with total purchases of $93 billion per annum

Integrated pharma supply chain and care platform Trxade Group Inc. (OTCQB: TRXD) is taking steps to expand its reach to areas where primary or collaborative care is not accessible, via a partnership with Benzer Pharmacy, a chain of independent retail pharmacies based in Tampa Bay. According to a company press release, the partnership between Trxade wholly-owned subsidiary Bonum Health and Benzer Pharmacy will result in the launch of a one-of-a-kind initiative, the ‘Bonum Health Hub’ (http://ibn.fm/OxSN9).

Under the agreement, the Bonum Health Hubs will be located in various urban and rural areas that lack access to this type of care and will primarily target patients who otherwise would not be able to afford primary or collaborative care. As of now, there are plans to have 100 Benzer Pharmacy locations providing collaborative care by end of 2020, with future plans for other independent pharmacies to join this endeavor, according to Trxade Chief Executive Officer Suren Ajjarapu.

The Hubs will make it possible for patients to get prescriptions if they choose to be filled at the same pharmacy as the Bonum Health Hub located. Placements with Benzer Pharmacy will ensure patients receive the highest-quality care at the Health Hubs. After launching the Benzer locations, Trxade intends to expand the Hubs into its network consisting of more than 11,000 independently registered and operating pharmacies. Trxade expects Bonum Health will rapidly gain a market share in the retail clinic space by leveraging its relationship with these networks.

“We value the patients and the communities we serve. This new milestone will not only encourage patients to take medical care into their own hands but will also allow uninsured patients to get the help they need for an affordable price, and from the convenience of a community pharmacy,” Benzer Pharmacy President Alpesh Patel stated in a news release.

Trxade has developed a proprietary web-based e-commerce platform that enables trade among pharmaceutical, accessory, and service buyers and sellers. Currently, the platform has about 11,000 pharmacies as registered users, and the company aims to reach all of the estimated 24,000 independent pharmacies currently operating in the U.S., with combined pharmaceutical purchases of $93 billion per year. The company is adding over 100 pharmacies to its platform per month. The U.S. pharmaceutical industry, which is worth $330 billion, consists of 1,500 state-wholesale licensed suppliers and more than 65,000 retail pharmacy facilities – 24,000 of which are independent.

Trxade also targets the consumer aspect of the pharmaceutical industry, aiming to lower prescription drug costs by attacking the inefficient value chain, delivering drugs directly to independent pharmacists and consumers, and offering efficient purchasing and price transparency. The company operates a full-service mail order pharmacy for U.S. consumers, as well as a mobile apps called ‘Bonumhealth’ and ‘Delivmeds’, which makes it possible to deliver dispensed prescriptions on the same day.

• Wall Street Journal analyzes China’s potential as a cannabis global superpower
• CEO of CIIX subsidiary discusses company’s role as CBD legal marketer in China, United States
• CIIX CEO says company is a first mover in legal industrial-hemp skin care and cosmetics in China

ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) subsidiary CBD Biotech Co. Ltd. and its CEO, Summer Yun, were featured in a Wall Street Journal video titled ‘Why China is Betting Big on CBD’ (http://ibn.fm/tiyA1). The video examines the growth of industrial hemp in China and notes that some see the country becoming a global super power in the CBD industry (http://ibn.fm/nJQ6n).

WSJ reporter Stephanie Yang cited Brightfield Group research indicating a 700% jump in CBD sales in the United States through 2019 and growth into a CBD market estimated to reach $23.7 billion by 2023 (http://ibn.fm/Ou4oB). In addition, the “Hemp Business Journal” estimates that in 2018 China generated a yield representing some 11% of the CBD global market (http://ibn.fm/IeXj9). The economic potential of CBD in China is exemplified as one Chinese farmer inhales his crop, saying, “This smells like money.”

In a recent interview, Yun said his company is selling CBD-infused gummy bears and essential oils in the United States. For now, CBD Biotech sells CBD-free products inside China, although CBD-infused cosmetics and skin-care products are legal, he said.

CIIX CEO Warren Wang said in a recent letter to CIIX shareholders that industrial-hemp-extract-infused cosmetics could open a Chinese market of 1.4 billion people to the company and its CBD Biotech subsidiary. CIIX plans to launch industrial-hemp-extract-infused, wrinkle-cream cosmetics in the near future (http://ibn.fm/GRAVp). Wang added that CIIX will focus its hemp/CBD products in China through CBD Biotech in 2020.

In addition, Wang said that the WSJ report validates the company’s efforts in China over the past few years. “As we analyze the legality/trends in other Asian countries, we have an advantage with ‘feet on the ground’ in that part of the world,” he noted.

“Entrepreneurs believe China will surpass competitors as a CBD powerhouse in production and consumption,” said Yang. Chinese entrepreneurs believe that China will dominate the global CBD industry, much as it has done in other industries, such as smartphones, plastics and clothes, she said (http://ibn.fm/BL2k6). One farmer manager interviewed said, “The U.S. may be very important in the cannabis industry right now, but I believe the future belongs to China.”

An Associated Press website summary of the video said, “CBD Biotech, a first mover in the industrial hemp skin-care and cosmetics industry [is] working to educate consumers on the benefits of industrial hemp extract and positioning itself to be one of the leaders in China’s legal market for skin care and cosmetics infused with cannabis sativa leaf extract, industrial extract.” The video noted that, in China, the extract of cannabis leaf used as a cosmetic raw material is legal. As attitudes in China continue to shift in acceptance toward CBD and cannabis products, CIIIX finds itself well-positioned to take advantage of the country’s significant consumer potential.

CIIX offers its audience of Chinese-speaking investors real-time market commentary, analysis and educational-related services in Chinese character language sets.

• Soaring content demand from streaming providers is fueling global media and entertainment market that is expected to grow to $2.4 trillion in 2022
• Wonderfilm produces high-quality feature films and episodic television that offer international appeal
• Wonderfilm Media is led by CEO Kirk Shaw, producer of 240 movies including Oscar-winning The Hurt Locker, starring Jeremy Renner
• Company partner Shaun Redick, Oscar-winning producer of Get Out ($255M gross revenue) and BlacKkKlansman ($100M gross revenue), leads Wonderfilm’s Executive Production Team

Wonderfilm Media Corporation (TSX.V: WNDR) (OTCQB: WDRFF), a producer of high-quality feature films and episodic television with international appeal, is working with some of Hollywood’s best talent to create unforgettable entertainment while providing a solid future value for its shareholders. Backed by an award-winning creative team, with more than $1 billion in hit movie revenues to their collective credit, Wonderfilm has developed a business model that generates a return to the company as soon as the cameras start rolling.

Wonderfilm CEO Kirk Shaw shares details of the company’s winning business strategy in an exclusive interview with NetworkNewsWire, which can be heard here: (http://ibn.fm/U3UjK). Shaw is a veteran producer of 240 movies airing on television and the big screen, including the Oscar-winning The Hurt Locker, starring Jeremy Renner. Among the interview highlights is an overview of Wonderfilm’s operational achievements, such as the launch of Wonderfilm Global – an international film and television sales and distribution joint venture expected to generate significant incremental revenue.

Shaun Redick, who is one of Hollywood’s most successful feature film producers, is on board as a Wonderfilm company partner. Redick and his wife, Yvette Yates, produced two of the most successful and profitable films of 2017 and 2018 – Get Out, with $255 million in gross revenues, and BlacKkKlansman, which grossed $100 million. Both films won Oscars, adding to Redick’s legacy of 175 award wins, 355 nominations and 10 Oscar nominations.

Redick’s ability to constantly identify shifting trends in the content creation and distribution side of the industry provides Wonderfilm with the exciting potential to deliver breakout films and new revenue streams. Redick and Yates are scheduled to produce two to three films per year for Wonderfilm, with the first release slated for October 2020. The pair are also committed to the 4% challenge to give more women and women of color the opportunity to direct.

Soaring demand for content from streaming providers is fueling industry growth. The global media and entertainment market is expected to grow from $1.9 trillion in 2017 to $2.4 trillion in 2022, at a five-year CAGR of 4.4%. Wonderfilm currently has 17 films greenlit with combined budgets totaling $58 million.

Wonderfilm’s most recent theatrical release, slated to premiere December 6 in U.S. theaters, is Beyond the Law, starring Steven Seagal (Under Siege), DMX (Romero Must Die) and Johnny Messner (Silencer, Weaponized) (http://ibn.fm/Nfit5).

“Beyond the Law is the fourth North American Wonderfilm theatrical release of 2019. It’s a big milestone for us, but next year we expect to double the number of movies released in theaters,” Shaw stated in a news release. “Professionally, Beyond the Law was exciting since we were finally able to reunite Steven Seagal with DMX in a great action thriller.”

Wonderfilm is also sending a “cease and desist” letter to Archer Entertainment Media Communications, Inc. (“Archer”) after becoming aware of a publication that falsely states that Wonderfilm is in talks to form an alliance with Archer. This is not true and Wonderfilm disclaims any talks or relationship with Archer (http://ibn.fm/oTeV4).

Wonderfilm has developed a low-risk approach to content creation by focusing on producing quality entertainment with top Hollywood talent, working within relatively low budgets, and utilizing a business model that pre-sells the film before shooting starts. Not only does this secure much of the finance needed to make a film happen, it also ensures that the project will reach its audience. That allows the company to confidently produce films on a fast, steady production schedule (http://ibn.fm/X2K4D).

The company’s film library grows with each new production, adding to future sales revenue. Depending on the agreement, exploitation rights for future worldwide sales return to Wonderfilm four or seven years after delivery. As of October 2019, Wonderfilm’s growing film library comprises 18 titles for future exploitation.

OriginClear Inc. (OTC: OCLN) CEO Riggs Eckelberry described his company’s expectations for an “amazing year” in 2020 in a recent teleconference. Additionally, Eckelberry told MoneyTV host Donald Baillargeon that the company presents a “stunning opportunity” for large investors (http://ibn.fm/7XpbG). “We’re locking down on what I think is going to be an amazing year next year,” Eckelberry said in the interview. The company has been leading the global water movement, making significant strides in empowering partners around the world in their search for water independence.

During the teleconference, Eckelberry updated listeners on OriginClear’s progress worldwide regarding installations and opportunities with partners and licensees. The CEO specifically mentioned OriginClear’s Modular Water Systems™, Progressive Water Treatment, and proprietary Electro Water Separation™ products. Eckelberry also discussed his recent television interview and provided an update on the company’s global initiatives, focusing on OriginClear’s agreement to enter a joint venture to develop a demonstration unit in the Permian Basin in the Middle East.

OriginClear licenses its technology worldwide and is building a network of customer-facing water brands to expand its global market presence. The company is also working to identify next-generation water-recycling systems, such as its Instant-Infrastructure™ concept. The company’s mission is to help return water to its original and clear condition, focusing on closed-loop systems, which operate independently without the need for manual input. This empowers independent partners to take control of their own water management without the need for technical operating expertise. Additionally, OriginClear can improve the environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings of clients through improved water management – a critically sought-after designation in today’s business world.

Eckelberry referred to OriginClear’s progress worldwide and its interest in licensee companies such as Aqua D&P in Romania and Depuporc in Spain, as well as Permionics, its partner in India. He also reviewed the company’s success in Bakersfield, California (http://ibn.fm/55WnN), and discussed opportunities in Houston, Texas.

In addressing the growth of OriginClear, Eckelberry discussed possible acquisitions in the future. “We are continuing to make progress on the acquisition line,” he said. “More people are showing up or want to do it. We can create an offering for the specific purpose of funding these acquisitions, and that, of course, is asset based.”

In its 10-Q SEC filing, OriginClear also specified its acquisition opportunities. “OriginClear is seeking to acquire companies to help industrial water users treat their water themselves, and often reuse it. We believe that assembling a group of water-treatment companies is an opportunity for significant growth and increased company value for the shareholders,” the filing noted.

OriginClear deploys advanced technologies as a leader in the self-reliant water revolution. The company offers point-of-use modular and prefabricated systems that create durable assets and water independence. OriginClear leads a megatrend of businesses that are treating their own water with on-premise systems enabling high purification and recycling levels.
