Moxian, Inc. (OTCQB: MOXC) is currently targeting China’s expansive online-to-offline (O2O) marketplace with its innovative Moxian+ platform, which is specially designed to connect businesses with consumers. This strategy could pay off for the company moving forward, according to independent capital markets research firm Crystal Equity Research. Earlier today, Moxian announced that it was the subject of a thorough report conducted by the New York-based research firm outlining the company’s tremendous prospects for future growth based on its current expansion strategy.

“In our view, Moxian is entering the market at a particularly good time,” the Crystal Equity Research report noted. “Moxian perfected and tested its O2O platform in Asian markets and is targeting the largest metropolitan areas in China. The company has earned modest revenue during the development and testing phase and appears poised to experience a dramatic increase in revenue from merchant subscriptions as the company opens sales offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in 2016.”

The foundation for this growth has already been placed. Last week, Moxian announced the formation of a new corporate subsidiary located in the Dongcheng district of Beijing. Through this subsidiary, the company plans to facilitate corporate growth by targeting the roughly 20 million individuals residing in the capital city of the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Following the announcement of this new subsidiary, Moxian CEO Tan Meng Dong James stated that the Beijing office represents a “qualitative leap” for Moxian in its quest to capitalize on the growing social media presence of the PRC.

In the months to come, Moxian’s ability to attract merchants to its platform will play a key role in the company’s efforts to promote financial growth, but Crystal Equity Research’s report outlines favorable economic conditions in the company’s newest market. In particular, the high penetration of smartphones and advanced cellular networks throughout China have helped O2O strategies take root, with sales related to this type of platform following an upward trajectory of roughly 25 percent per year.

The research report goes on to outline how Moxian’s current business strategies position the company for considerable market opportunity in China’s O2O sector. Spearheaded by the leadership of an experienced management team, Moxian is expected to leverage merchant fees as a significant source of recurring revenue before implementing other revenue streams – including the sale of advertising on the Moxian+ platform – to maximize the financial impact of its forecast market growth.

One company that keeps this in mind when designing its award-winning products is OurPet’s Company (OTCQX: OPCO).

In a property lease agreement, isn’t it the tenant that pays the landlord? Well, not always, it seems, since landlords are paying Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. (OTCQB: GIGL) substantial sums to occupy their premises. Of course, Giggles N’ Hugs will still be paying rent, but the company is considered such a valuable tenant that the owners of the premier properties it occupies are willing to invest in it. They do so by providing upfront cash to finance construction of Giggles N’ Hugs’ restaurants, play areas and other amenities. These payments have totalled $1,554,770 in all and cover all three of the company’s current locations.

Giggles N’ Hugs restaurants can be found at Westfield Mall in Century City on Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles, at Westfield Topanga Shopping Center in Woodland Hills, Canoga Park, and in the Glendale Galleria. The Century City location has received $590,000 from landlord Westfield Corporation (OTC: WEFIF), the Topanga facility has received $489,770 (also from the Westfield Corporation) and Glendale Associates has paid $475,000 to the Glendale Galleria outlet.

Giggles N’ Hugs is courted because mall owners expect the company will drive family foot traffic, and family foot traffic is the lifeblood of malls. Giggles N’ Hugs’ unique upscale offering is novel and exciting. The company operates family-friendly restaurants with play areas for children 10 years and younger. The restaurants also feature daily live entertainment and shows. The design of the restaurants is intended to create a fun, casual, family atmosphere where children can interact with parents and each other and where everyone enjoys freshly prepared, organic, nutritious and reasonably priced meals. The company was founded by Joey Parsi in 2010 after he and his wife, Dorsa, realized there were no eating places that catered to the special needs of parents with young children.

Apart from the restaurants and play areas, the company plans to license its brand to market clothes, toys, a frozen food line, and vitamin water for kids. The company also offers an innovative drop off program, which allows parents to drop off their kids for up to three hours while they shop.

Giggles N’ Hugs is in good hands. Parsi is its driving force and present CEO. Back in the 90s, he was an investment advisor at Lehman Bros. Then, he served as senior vice president at Sutro and Company, the pedigreed investment management and brokerage firm founded in 1858. Thereafter, he spent two years, 1996 to 1998, at Prudential Securities (NYSE: PRU). In 1998, he founded Barron Chase and raised more than $30 million in funding for nine separate companies before liquidating the business and joining TD Waterhouse (NYSE: TD).

If Westfield Corporation and Glendale Associates are willing to bet on Giggles N’ Hugs, it must be something more than the macaroni and cheese with real cheddar or the chicken littles made with real chicken breast it has on the menu. Giggles N’ Hugs is giving back to young parents the good times dining out they once had before tying the knot. Now that can’t be a bad thing.

International Stem Cell Corporation (OTCQB: ISCO) has its fingers in many pies. It develops and markets products in three different lines, and two of those businesses turn a profit. Its biomedical division is the most profitable. For the nine months ending September 30, 2015, the net operating profit on biomedics was $920,000 on sales of $2,925,000, a healthy return on sales (ROS) of 31%. ROS measures a company’s operational efficiency, and ISCO’s ROS shows it’s getting better at what it does. Its ROS for 2015 was a vast improvement on the comparable period in 2014, when ROS for the biomedics division was 23%. For the nine months to September 30, 2014, ISCO’s biomedics division had net income of $616,000 on revenues of $2,681,000. ISCO’s biomedics business tells a happy story all around. Sales in 2015 improved by 9% over 2014 sales while operating costs fell by 3%, and net operating profit for 2015 in biomedics rose an astonishing 49% over the comparable period in 2014.

The cheerful news extends to ISCO’s cosmetics division. Sales in cosmetics for 2015 were $2,648,000, five percent over 2014 sales of $2,519,000. Net operating profit, or ROS, on cosmetics almost tripled, going from 4% in 2014 to 11% in 2015. Once again, ISCO has managed to cut costs and increase revenues. Costs in 2015 for cosmetics fell by 2%. The cosmetics division generated a net income of $287,000, which represents a whopping 163% increase in net income over the similar period in 2014.

Together, these two profitable enterprises have increased ISCO’s 2015 bottom line by $482,000, a nice 66% increase over 2014. Using a very conservative price to sales ratio of 10 would value ISCO’s biomedics and cosmetics divisions together at about $56 million.

However, ISCO is not resting on its laurels. The company is plowing ahead with its innovative line of therapeutics based on a potent new stem cell technology that employs parthenogenesis. Parthenogenesis is a type of reproduction that takes place in the absence of fertilization. The company’s new stem cell technology holds the promise of advancing significantly the field of regenerative medicine by addressing the problem of immune-rejection. Stem cells are able to divide in a process of self-renewal in which one cell gives birth to two or more. They are also able to differentiate into cells of a different type so that a stem cell originating from one part of the body may differentiate into a type that is similar to the cells in another part of the body.

At the top of ISCO’s list is Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s is characterized by noticeable tremors of the hands. The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation estimates that approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease each year, a number that may not reflect the thousands of cases that go undetected. About one million Americans live with the disease, and an estimated seven to ten million people worldwide are living with Parkinson’s disease. ISCO’s UniStemCell for Parkinson’s has completed the Food & Drug Administration (FDA)’s Investigational New Drug (IND) phase, which means it will soon begin clinical trials. Clinical trials occur when the effects of new treatments on humans are studied.

International Stem Cell Corporation is a company with a bright future. It has two money-making divisions that continue to show increasing profitability. There’s little doubt that its foray into therapeutics will be equally successful.

Nutra Pharma Corporation (OTCQB: NPHC) subsidiary Designer Diagnostics focuses its energy on designing and developing medical devices. Established in 2005, the company builds shareholder value by marketing and selling rapid diagnostics test kits for infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).

Designer Diagnostics test kits deliver cost effective and efficient, low infrastructure solutions for identifying and testing the sensitivity of NTM that have the ability to utilize paraffin wax as a sole carbon source or those that are hydrophobic. Designer Diagnostics also delivers an efficient solution for the rapid identification and sensitivity testing of TB.

Designer Diagnostic’s test kits offer many benefits, such as the ability to provide diagnosis in less than seven days. Other attractive characteristics include long shelf life; ability to be stored in extremely hostile environments; cost effectiveness, as compared to most other traditional methods; and they do not require new large capital expenditures, just to name a few.

Recently, Nutra Pharma Corporation released a letter to shareholders. The letter, delivered by Rik J. Deitsch, the company’s chief executive officer, gave investors a brief overview of Nutra Pharma’s progress during 2015, as well as its goals and expectations for the coming months.

“We have had a very busy year at Nutra Pharma,” Deitsch explained in the news release. “2015 has been an inflection year for the company, launching our first new product in over two years (Pet Pain-Away), allowing us to begin to get back into clinical research on our lead drug candidates and bringing our drug platform into focus with the granting of orphan designation for RPI-78M for the treatment of pediatric multiple sclerosis.”

Looked upon as some of the most intriguing news for potential investors was the company’s progress with its therapeutic drug pipeline. In September, the company received orphan status for drug candidate RPI-78M for the treatment of pediatric multiple sclerosis, an indication with no approved treatments currently on the market. Additionally, NPHC continues to make progress toward expanding its retail distribution network for its over-the-counter products. Sales from Nyloxin and Pet Pain-Away are promising revenue streams for the company that are viewed as being vital to the financing of proposed clinical studies.

Hoverboards were supposed to be the latest technological innovation to take the world by storm. With the Christmas shopping season fast approaching and stores struggling to keep the self-balancing motor scooters on the shelves, it appeared that these futuristic transportation devices were set to claim their spot amongst the most popular gift requests in recent memory. Then, disaster struck. Multiple cases of house fires resulting from faulty lithium ion batteries and substandard charging units hit the news, and, suddenly, the year’s most popular gift idea became the subject of a federal investigation.

“We consider this a priority investigation,” Patty Davis, a spokesperson for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, told CNNMoney. “This is a popular holiday item and it’s going to be in a lot of consumers’ homes, and we’d like to quickly get to the bottom of why some hoverboards catch fire.”

In the weeks since the initial report, additional hoverboard accidents have made headlines around the world. Within the past week, multiple fires in areas such as Melbourne, Australia, and California have been attributed to the futuristic scooters. In the case of the Australia fire, the hoverboard was left to charge for just 10 minutes, according to the family, before combusting into an inferno that caused more than $500,000 in damage. The response to these malfunctions has been swift and decisive. In the U.K., for example, hoverboards have been outlawed, and many other countries are looking to follow suit. In the U.S., California has enacted new rules governing the use of the two-wheeled devices on roads, and a number of airlines have banned them outright.

The charge against potentially deadly design flaws in many hoverboard models hasn’t been restricted to legislators. After the initiation of a federal probe into at least 16 reports of hoverboard fires in 12 states across the country, retail giants Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Target (NYSE: TGT) halted the sale of nearly all hoverboards until manufacturers were able to provide proof that their gadgets were in compliance with applicable safety standards. As of this week, self-balancing scooters from popular manufacturers such as IO Hawk, PhunkeeDuck and others were still unavailable on Amazon.

So with all of this in mind, consumers around the globe are wondering why hoverboards are so prone to combustion. While the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is continuing to work to find out the specific root of the problem, experts in the field of electronics point toward the scooters’ lithium ion battery packs. Much like the batteries used in laptops, tablets and cell phones, hoverboard batteries feature compartments loaded with a highly flammable liquid that can, if damaged or manufactured incorrectly, lead to excessive heat and explosion. In many cases, all it takes for a catastrophic failure is a small puncture in the thin sheet of plastic dividing the positive and negative sides of the battery. For that reason, proper quality control is vital to the safe manufacture of lithium ion-based stored energy solutions.

The potential dangers of faulty lithium ion batteries aren’t a recent revelation. In 2006, for example, computing giant Dell recalled millions of laptops as a result of just six incidents of fire. In a more recent event, Boeing (NYSE: BA) was forced to ground its 787 Dreamliner airplane until it could find a way to adequately cool its lithium ion power sources. The common denominator in almost all of these issues has been manufacturing issues stemming from a lack of adequate quality control.

In the case of hoverboards, it can be difficult if not impossible for consumers to inspect their batteries. The result has been that many of the faulty gadgets have been powered by counterfeit batteries sporting the logos of trusted manufacturers such as Samsung (OTC: SSNLF). By skimping on quality, manufacturers are putting an emerging new market in danger of disappearing just as it begins to hit a mainstream audience. The solution to this problem, however, may be simpler than it appears.

Oakridge Global Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: OGES) is actively combatting the problem of dangerous counterfeit batteries from overseas factories by producing high quality, ‘Made in the USA’ products that are optimized to address high-demand target markets. While manufacturers who turn to the lowest bidder for their energy storage solutions keep getting burned by inferior quality batteries, Oakridge is leveraging an immense intellectual property portfolio and an extensive history of design and system innovation to deliver the latest in energy storage technology.

With Chinese-made batteries repeatedly landing in the headlines for their questionable quality and origin, Oakridge’s battery systems, which are designed and produced in the company’s new manufacturing facilities in Melbourne, Florida, offer clients a better approach to stored energy and a level of quality and consistency upon which they can construct a more marketable and sustainable product and brand.

As the nightmare surrounding the hoverboard phenomenon continues to grow, the vital importance of high quality energy solutions is once again in the spotlight. Look for manufacturers to begin shifting away from the uncertainty of imported energy solutions in favor of the quality and dependability associated with a ‘Made in the USA’ product. With its recently completed restructuring and commencement of full-scale production operations, Oakridge is in a favorable position to capitalize on this market shift by offering a range of groundbreaking energy storage solutions.
