Matinas BioPharma Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: MTNB), is a biopharmaceutical company still in its clinical stages, focused on identifying and developing treatments for fungal and bacterial infections. Founded in 2012, the company’s goal is to change the way in which potent medicines are delivered and administered, with the aim of giving both physicians and patients better, safer, and more effective solutions to fight these infections.

MTNB is working toward unique benefits through its lead drug candidates, MAT2501 and MAT2203. These benefits include oral administration and bioavailability, multi-organ protection, and targeted delivery directly to the infected areas. MAT2501 is used to treat gram negative bacterial infections, and MAT2203 is a drug used in patients with refractory mucocutaneous candidiasis.

Most recently, the company announced that it has started enrollment and that the first group of patients have been dosed in its phase II clinical study of MAT2203. The phase II study is a randomized, multicenter, evaluator blinded study for which approximately 75 patients will be enrolled. In addition, the company is in the process of evaluating the drug in a phase IIa open label dose titration study. The study is being undertaken to establish whether or not the drug is efficient, safe, and tolerable for patients with a long standing or recurrent mucocutaneous candidiasis infection.

As a result of this progression, Aegis Capital Corp. (http://dtn.fm/6twE7) recently updated the company to a ‘Buy’ rating with a target price of $8 per share based on its estimated FY2022 EPS of $2.55 per share. This news came after the company reported that its coming milestones for the phase II study of MAT2203 and phase I study of MAT2501 are on schedule. However, Aegis is not the only one to review Matinas BioPharma Holdings, Inc.

Earlier this month, Maxim Group (http://dtn.fm/U33oS) initiated coverage on Matinas BioPharma Holdings, Inc., offering the company a ‘Buy’ rating. In addition to these reports, MarketExclusive.com (http://dtn.fm/8JMoT) stated that if the company succeeds in its phase II trial, it could take over Gilead’s $350 million market for its own version of the drug. According to a report from The Cerbat Gem Market News and Analysis (http://dtn.fm/UOh4i), MTNB has been trading at approximately $1.54 per share with a trading volume of 25,525 shares. The company’s market cap stands at $88.23 million.

According to a past article on MarketWatch (http://dtn.fm/ruK1O), after the Fukushima nuclear disaster there was an increase in liquefied natural gas (LNG) demand in 2012. This meant that the LNG carrier fleet was operating at a 98% utilization rate. These numbers eventually decreased due to the delay of several liquefaction projects and slowing LNG demand in Asia, but things have since been looking up. Australia and North America will see the addition of significant liquefaction capacity over the next few years. According to the original article, this is expected to increase spending on LNG carriers for supply transportation, with a market boost due to the need for more flexibility in the LNG fleet.

For companies such as Dynagas LNG Partners LP (NYSE: DLNG), this is good news. The company is a growth oriented partnership that operates liquefied natural gas carriers employed on multi-year charters. As well as conventional LNG shipping, DLNG aims to focus its efforts on a fleet that is equipped for trading flexibility, including some of the coldest, sub-zero areas in the world.

Most recently, the company released its results for the third quarter of 2016, showing an increase of distributable cash flow from $23 million during the first three months to over $68 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Not only this, net income rose from just over $17 million to $51.4 million in less than a year, with adjusted net income coming in at just under $57 million in the first nine months of 2016. Earnings per common unit grew from $0.44 to $1.30 in the six-month period, and adjusted earnings per common unit went from just under $0.50 to $1.45.

The company also entered into a new long-term charter agreement with Gazprom Marketing & Trading Singapore Pte Ltd. The agreement allows DLNG to employ the company’s 2007-built 150,000 cbm steam turbine LNG carrier, Clean Energy. This new partnership is expected to start in mid-2018 and continue for a duration of seven years and nine months. During this period, the agreement is expected to generate over $130 million in gross contracted revenues.

In addition to the above, the partnership agreed to cut down the charter hire rate on two existing contracts, Yenisei River and Lena River, both of which were built in 2013. As of this month, the contracted revenues will be reduced by just under $9 million for the Yenisei River and closer to $10 million for the Lena River over the remainder of the current charter terms. CEO of the partnership, Tony Lauritzen, reported that these new charter arrangements increase the partnership’s contracted backlog to around $1.6 billion.

According to a recent article published by Engelwood Daily (http://dtn.fm/0QnNN), Wall Street released predictions that DLNG’s earnings per share will be $0.41 by the time the company releases its earning at the end of February 2017. Price targets released by Wall Street range from $9 to $18, and, according to the ABR ranking, where one represents a ‘Strong Buy’ and five is a ‘Strong Sell’, the company now has an ABR of two, representing a ‘Buy’ rating.

For six decades, Monaker Group (OTCQB: MKGI) has catered to leisure travelers seeking to book “vacations of a lifetime” or find “travel made easy” options. Along the way, the company has gained the knowledge and experience to be considered an industry-leading, technology-driven travel company. Now, equipped with decades of experience and leveraging over 60 years of operation in leisure travel, Monaker is expanding its reach to business travel, using the full resources of its multiple brands and divisions to offer novel travel products to executives and professionals traveling for work.

Over the years, management has combined vital partnerships and established travel brands to form foundation stones that support Monaker’s corporate goal: to expand its offerings until it becomes the “one stop” vacation center.

NextTrip.com, an online marketplace for the alternative lodging rental (ALR) industry, is one of those key travel brands that Monaker has developed for the leisure traveler. With this flagship product, Monaker introduced to the ALR industry the first booking engine to feature alternative and specialty lodging (e.g. vacation home rentals, resort residences and unused timeshares) side by side with a wide selection of airlines, hotels, cruises, rental cars, destination tours/activities and concierge services. What’s more, all of NextTrip.com’s services are offered under a single platform that gives travel customers the power to choose exactly when they want to book their vacations.

Monaker is now extending that power to corporate travelers, starting with the development of a custom travel club offering for the members of Recruiter.com – an online global recruiting and career service with its own industry-leading technology platform. One of the most influential career sites around, Recruiter.com boasts of a highly engaged membership base and manages a social media following of more than 2.8 million people while matching top talent to top jobs. In April 2016, Monaker signed on to help it create the Recruiter.com Travel Club, a powerful new incentive to be added to the Recruiter.com Rewards Program and offered to the site’s current members and followers.

With this partnership, Recruiter.com is counting on Monaker offering its Travel Club members personalized travel and lifestyle offerings, including highly-discounted travel and vacation packages as well as special benefits such as concierge support, exclusive experiences and premium upgrades. Monaker, on the other hand, is counting on the partnership to open up another distribution line for its ALR inventory and other business and vacation travel products within its portfolio.

It has been seven months since Monaker and Recruiter formed their partnership and it is going well. In August, the companies expanded the terms of their initial agreement and Monaker became the exclusive provider of travel services to Recruiter.com. With this new title, Monaker gained a means to communicate directly with Recruiter’s broad list of customers, largely comprised of senior corporate executives. Now, on a weekly basis, a choice selection of Monaker’s travel products and services will be marketed to a list of approved members and their respective companies as well as other Recruiter.com followers, a development that gives Monaker and its platforms, inventory and travel products significant exposure to decision makers at over a million global companies.

Earlier today, eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI) announced that the Tucson-based Marsee Wilhems Team, one of the premier real estate teams in the country, has joined the Agent-Owned Cloud Brokerage®. The addition continues on eXp Realty’s recent trend of attracting top real estate professionals from across the country to its ranks. Within the last six weeks alone, the company has welcomed the Brent Gove Team, one of the top real estate teams in California; Darren James Real Estate Experts, which was ranked 51st in the nation by The Wall Street Journal in 2015; and the Eric Burch Real Estate Team, which is currently among the top two real estate groups in all of Arkansas.

“Today’s announcement demonstrates the continuing and growing appeal to the very top teams in the United States whose entrepreneurial leaders and members benefit from one low universal cap across all markets, a centralized and collaborative team meeting location that can be accessed from anywhere, and access to some of the top lead generating systems and programs in the industry, while building an ownership interest in the brokerage that they contribute to, own and help build,” Vikki Bartholomae, president of eXp Realty, stated in this morning’s update.

The accomplishments of the Marsee Wilhems team stack up favorably with the very best in the industry. In 2016, Wilhems earned the top spot in The Wall Street Journal’s real estate rankings for the State of Arizona, as well as the 16th spot on the national list. As the former owner of RE/MAX (NYSE: RMAX) Majestic, she and her team sold more than 4,000 homes in Greater Tucson while generating more than 600 new buyer leads monthly through innovative marketing efforts. In addition to establishing her position atop the Arizona real estate market, this performance also helped Wilhems become the only agent in Tucson to earn the official endorsement of Shark Tank investor and New York real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran.

“Our team has been fortunate to achieve market share and great success in Tucson over the years,” Wilhems noted in this morning’s news release. “We’ve invested a lot in our business, in our marketing and in our agents so this is a big move for us and we make it knowing that eXp Realty represents the best opportunity for us as a team and as individuals.”

As of November 15, eXp Realty had attracted a roster of more than 2,130 real estate professionals across 41 states, the District of Columbia and Alberta, Canada, marking an increase of more than 150 percent over the end of Q3 2015. The rapid growth of the company’s agent base has sparked similar financial growth, with EXPI reporting $15.7 million in total revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, a year-over-year rise of 112 percent. This performance also garnered EXPI an upward revision to both near-term and long-term growth forecasts from independent research firm Fundamental Research Corp. (http://dtn.fm/MsH84).

An announcement earlier this week from revenue-generating specialty pharmaceutical company Recro Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: REPH) is good news for those suffering from pain after major surgery. From its headquarters in Malvern, Pennsylvania, the company announced positive results from a phase III clinical trial evaluating intravenous (IV) Meloxicam for the treatment of acute post-operative pain.

In this trial, the second of two phase III trials, IV Meloxicam achieved the primary endpoint of a statistically significant differential in Summed Pain Intensity Difference over the first 24 hours (SPID-24) in patients who had undergone abdominoplasty surgery, as compared to placebo. With the positive data from this study, the company believes this completes the efficacy program for IV Meloxicam and opens the way for a New Drug Application (NDA).

A report from Aegis Capital (http://dtn.fm/Kx7Za), released earlier this month when it initiated coverage on Recro Pharma, shows why this is a big deal. Aegis estimates the size of the U.S. post-operative pain market at around $5.9 billion. At present, many of the analgesics employed, such as morphine, codeine, and hydrocodone, are opioids. But such powerful anodynes are notoriously addictive and their use is often subverted from pain relief. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 29,000 Americans die every year from opioid-related overdoses.

Consequently, there is growing demand for less addictive pain medications, particularly in the post-op environment, where conventional pain management drugs such as morphine are still commonly used. In addition to being less addictive than morphine, IV Meloxicam can be delivered as a 15-second infusion and has been shown to have fast onset of action in clinical trials. As a result of these factors, Aegis expects peak year revenue for IV Meloxicam to be in the range of $150-200 million.

This trial focused on testing the efficacy of IV Meloxicam in combating pain following abdominoplasty surgery, a complicated procedure that generally involves the removal of excess fat and skin and may include the restoration of weakened or separated muscles from the abdominal area. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reports that abdominoplasty is among the top five most common cosmetic surgeries in the U.S., with more than 164,000 performed in 2014. It is a procedure that, typically, results in intense postoperative pain.

In July, Recro announced positive top-line data from the IV Meloxicam (30 mg dose per 24 hours) in bunionectomy phase III trial. This first phase III trial measured its primary endpoint in terms of Summed Pain Intensity Difference over 48 hours (SPID-48) and showed a statistically significant reduction in SPID-48 versus placebo. It also achieved statistical significance across 15 of 19 secondary endpoints.

With the successful completion of these two phase III trials, an NDA is expected to be filed in summer 2017, followed by potential FDA approval in mid-summer 2018.

Recro Pharma is a clinical development-stage pharmaceutical company geared toward the development of non-opioid treatments for the management of acute pain in hospital and ambulatory care (outpatient) settings. The company currently earns revenue from a contract manufacturing, royalty and formulation business in Gainesville, Georgia, acquired in April 2015 from Alkermes, the Irish drug maker. Its lead product candidate, IV Meloxicam, is a cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitor, exclusive worldwide rights to which were acquired as part of the 2015 Alkermes deal.

Aegis originally put a price target on Recro Pharma stock, currently trading on the NASDAQ at around $9.00 under the symbol REPH, of $21.00. This was based on a 70% probability that the abdominoplasty phase III trial would be successful. With that study yielding such decidedly positive results, the price target was raised to $25.00 in an updated report (http://dtn.fm/Lvu6Y).

Before the opening bell, Dominovas Energy Corporation (OTCQB: DNRG) announced the completion of a recent business trip to the Republic of Madagascar. The visit, which coincided with the Francophonie Summit 2016 in the nation’s capital city of Antananarivo, featured continued discussions between Neal Allen, chairman and CEO of Dominovas Energy, and officials within the Madagascan government regarding the potential deployment of a “nation-changing” 650MW power plant. According to this morning’s update, it’s anticipated that Dominovas Energy and the Government of Madagascar will soon enter a binding Memorandum of Agreement that defines the specific deliverables and responsibilities of each party as it pertains to the installation, deployment and operation of this power plant within the company’s BOOTT (Build, Own, Operate, Train, Transfer) construct.

“Several countries were considered by Dominovas Energy as a possible ‘ground zero’ for this power plant, but Madagascar has exhibited an unyielding commitment to this project from the initial introduction of the opportunity and has put in place exceptionally competent people to shepherd this project,” Allen stated in this morning’s news release. “From the beginning, President Rajaonarimampianina recognized the significance of this project and further, if successfully deployed, its paramount importance for Madagascar’s short and long term national development.”

News of the Madagascar meetings closely follows Dominovas Energy’s filing of a Form 8-K chronicling the execution of a reciprocal letter of interest (LOI) with the Madagascan government for the deployment of a baseload power supply. After meeting with several key officials within the nation’s government, including President Hery Rajaonarimampianina and Minister of Energy Lieutenant-General Herilanto Raveloharison, Dominovas Energy will now turn its attention toward perfecting all feasibility studies related to the proposed 650MW power plant before executing the documents required to support a successful financial close in 2017. The company expects to secure the requisite funding within the next several months ahead of the subsequent commencement of construction operations.

For the Republic of Madagascar, installation of this power project is expected to present substantial macroeconomic benefits. In addition to ending the country’s long-standing energy deficit, which has been a primary goal of President Rajaonarimampianina, the energy capacity generated through this installation could serve as an ignition source for local mining, manufacturing and resort enterprises, effectively energizing and supporting Madagascar’s national economy. Comprehensively, the increase in power production that could stem from this agreement, along with the anticipated revival of the manufacturing and mining sectors, is forecast to play a key role in the creation of more than 3,000 construction jobs and a “significant number” of long-term employment opportunities.

“This project is of paramount importance for Madagascar’s national development,” continued Allen. “Dominovas Energy’s investment will support a multitude of opportunities moving Madagascar from its current modality, to a substantial global economic competitor. We are honored and equally excited to have the privilege to begin this journey with Madagascar.”

As the entire real estate industry is changing fast, with the advent of technology and enhanced interconnectivity set to significantly alter the sector’s business customs, GainClients, Inc. (OTC: GCLT) is staying ahead of the curve with its GCard networking system (http://dtn.fm/mQx7D), which is designed to help real estate professionals better connect and communicate with their customers. With a growing number of real estate customers opting for online and mobile real estate solutions, GCard is a progressive integrated networking system that allows real estate brokers and agents to provide their customers with a wealth of information, including property details, lending requirements, title services and more.

The GCard works like most popular online networks, with real estate professionals being able to invite industry partners and customers to join their networks and become members of their teams. This ensures enhanced communication between team members and efficient sharing of relevant information to a customer during the process of selling or buying a home. The relevant info can be sent to the customer’s phone directly via a special app designed to work with most mobile devices. Customers can get the app via text or email from their real estate agent.

Using the GCard network comes with multiple benefits for real estate professionals, as they are given access to various features designed to help them understand their customers and their requirements so as to eventually offer them the best possible service. These features include relevant data about a client’s activity preferences, such as homes viewed and favorited with live links to the properties, as well as a newsletter scheduler and customization tools. Real estate agents using the GCard app can also access a detailed view of their history, with recently added clients and partners, partner referrals, and partner information.

With the purpose of further expanding the GCard platform, GainClients recently sealed a worldwide licensing agreement with real estate tech upstart CLOVIS, LLC under which the latter will develop a lead generation program for the real estate advertising and marketing industry. The partnership has the purpose of ultimately enabling the distribution of proprietary technologies from both parties to the real estate industry, with an eventual equal profit share and a 19 percent equity exchange in the foreseeable future.

In addition to the GCard networking system, GainClients also offers a stand-alone website, GCHomeSearch (http://dtn.fm/AOI6o), that provides listing data, historical property info, demographics and neighborhood information. Although primarily destined to customers outside of the real estate realm, GCHomeSearch can be used together with GCard to provide users with various tools such as loan payment calculators, cost estimators, loan rates and other features to help home buyers or sellers make informed decisions.

After a long journey in which no efforts were spared, China’s online-to-offline integrated social media operator, Moxian, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOXC), was officially uplisted earlier this month when its common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market. To mark this moment, the company’s management traveled to New York City to ring the Nasdaq Trade opening bell last Wednesday, on November 23.

The event at the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square was attended by CEO and Chairman James Tan and Executive Director Hao Qing Hu. The pair rang the trade opening bell at 9:30 a.m. ET to mark the beginning of the Wednesday stock market trading session and also in honor of their company’s recent Nasdaq uplisting. Tan said he and his team were very honored by this achievement, as it reflects the hard work of everyone at his company in their efforts to get investors’ attention and increase shareholder and corporate value.

Founded in 2013, the company began preparing for the Nasdaq uplist earlier this year with two U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings required for this upgrade: a securities registration statement and a reverse stock split. The Chinese company had been trading on the OTCQB Venture Marketplace since 2014. To further help with the company’s efforts, Tan put together a strong team with more than 100 years of combined experience in various industries and technologies. The company’s management team has experience with both public and private companies in Asia and the U.S., while Tan himself is a highly-experienced manager who has occupied executive positions with various public companies, including Pacific Internet, Ltd., a formerly NASDAQ-listed company.

Moxian markets an O2O integrated platform operator that primarily targets small- and medium-sized enterprises to help them connect with customers and prospects. The social commerce platform integrates social media features, gamification and entertainment, as well as business intelligence capabilities, being built around the company’s proprietary Social Customer Relationship Management tool. The Social CRM was created with the purpose of improving interaction between businesses and consumers by enabling merchants to run targeted advertising and marketing campaigns.

Merchants can gather and analyze relevant behavior data about their customers via the Moxian+ Business app, with the goal of understanding their audiences better and offering every user group a more personalized experience. The user information is gathered via the Moxian+ User app, dedicated exclusively to shoppers. This app includes a game center, a rewards redemption center and social media networking capabilities. It can further make personalized shopping recommendations based on geolocation and a user’s saved preferences. Both apps are available for Android and iOS devices.

According to The National Association of Realtors (http://dtn.fm/Ct9j5), this October was the second month in a row to show incredible sales peaks in existing home sales, registering the highest sales rate in nearly 10 years. With existing home sales skyrocketing for yet another month, it is no surprise that real estate agencies are looking for ways to maintain a competitive edge, anxious to better serve their customers based upon preferences and demographics. eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI), the holding company for eXp Realty LLC, a unique agent-owned cloud brokerage, believes in just this. In order to maintain a competitive edge, EXPI stays up-to-date with not only the current geopolitical and economic changes in both the U.S. and Canada but also the volatility in various markets, employment rates, and all technological changes.

The National Association of Realtors published an article, entitled ‘Protecting Your Brand Online: Social Media Tips for Real Estate Professionals’ (http://dtn.fm/8uHp8), which highlights the importance of maintaining a strong position within the virtual world. EXPI works through a cloud office environment, allowing brokers and agents to work, attend classes, strategize, and collaborate through a virtual medium while efficiently serving customers in their search for a new home. The company is the first truly agent-owned brokerage, allowing it to increase broker and agent listings and sales while reducing overhead costs.

However, the changing real estate scene is not just about advances in technology. The diversity of future homebuyers is expected to transform the real estate industry as a whole. During the buyer preferences forum (http://dtn.fm/U0vFV), organized by Realtor University, professionals discussed the changing demographics in the U.S., new home preferences, and the livability needs of current and future home buyers. According to the research, nearly every generation has a strong desire to own their own property. The article pointed out that, despite technological advancements, “This tough environment for buyers and sellers further demonstrates the importance of real estate businesses being based on relationships and face-to-face interactions.”

eXp World Holdings combines advanced technology from its cloud-based environment with the value that consumers see from working face-to-face with professionals. Because many future home buyers start their searches online, the company cuts costs by cutting out physical brick and mortar offices, yet maintains a high level of service by navigating the home buying process with clients while giving information and comparative perspective on properties. Agents at EXPI provide local market expertise, negotiating and advocating on their clients’ behalf.
