In the latest issue of the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) Magazine, published quarterly, investors will discover a lengthy feature on Laguna Blends (CSE: LAG) (FSE: LB6A.F) (OTC: LAGBF). The CSE is an alternative stock exchange for micro-cap and emerging companies based in Toronto with some 330 listings. The feature tells the story of a company that has managed to successfully combine aspects of the old and the new, bringing it all together on a state-of-the-art online platform. Should Laguna be considered a beverage company, a multi-level-marketing (MLM) company, or perhaps even a tech company?

Laguna is certainly a beverage company. The company has formulated Caffe, a delicious healthful drink meant to be served hot. It combines instant coffee with whey and hemp protein, with approximately 20% of the 6.2 grams per package containing whey and hemp protein. Like instant coffee, Caffe only requires the addition of hot water to serve. If you prefer something cold, there’s Pro369. Pro369 is an infused plant-based function beverage combining HempOmega®, Hemp Protein, and Ginseng, that can act as a food supplement or as a complete meal. Pro369 is the first hemp protein powder to be registered with Health Canada, the Canadian federal government department of health, as a Natural Product with the following five approved health claims:

• A source of protein that helps build and repair body tissues
• A source of amino acids involved in muscle protein synthesis
• Assists in the building of lean muscle
• An adaptogen to help maintain a healthy immune system
• Supportive therapy for the promotion of healthy glucose levels

Both products contain adequate quantities of hemp protein, which is an exceptionally rich source of the two essential fatty acids (EFAs): linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid.

Laguna is also a MLM company. Multi-level-marketing, also known as network marketing, occurs when sales affiliates engage in direct selling to customers and also act as recruiting agents. In this latter role, the sales affiliate will build his or her own network of agents and earn commission on the sales of those agents. This approach emerged in the U.S. in the 1920s and has made companies like the privately-held Amway, Avon (NYSE: AVP) and Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) household names. In his interview with CSE magazine, Laguna’s CEO, Stuart Gray, enthused about the fast growth that MLM companies have experienced historically.

“Successful MLM groups grow faster than tech companies so one of the nice things about Laguna is that we have the ability to get bigger really quickly,” he stated.

Convinced of Laguna’s potential, Gray has invested over one million dollars in the company.

In addition, Laguna is a technological company. The company started beta testing of its Laguna World virtual 3D community in April 2016. Laguna World uses the very latest gaming technology to create a cyberspace where affiliates can educate themselves, build their own networks by recruiting others and sell directly to customers. Laguna World is not a replacement for the face-to-face selling interview, but an adjunct and enhancement to it. Online commerce is growing, and, as consumers become more comfortable buying over the internet, it will grow further. That is why Laguna believes this innovative virtual world technology ‘is a game changer in the Direct Selling / Network Marketing Industry.’

Earlier today, eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI) announced that its subsidiary, eXp Realty, has been listed among the best places to work by The Washington Post and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The award marks the second consecutive year in which eXp Realty has been recognized as one of the best places to work in Atlanta, where it placed 12th out of 165 honorees. In Washington, eXp Realty was listed in the top 20 based on surveys conducted by both the Post and its partner, Workplace Dynamics.

“This is a tremendous honor for the agent-owners who are on our team,” David Harbour, leader of eXp Realty’s Washington, DC, metro region, stated in today’s news release. “This award speaks to the collaborative, engaging and rewarding environment of our company, not just here but in and across all eXp markets.”

EXPI’s continued success in offering an exceptional work environment for its agent-owners is particularly noteworthy following the company’s recent expansion efforts. Last month, EXPI announced that its real estate brokerage division had commenced operations in four new states, as well as the District of Columbia. In total, eXp Realty currently boasts a network of more than 1,240 real estate professionals across 38 states and Alberta, Canada. Ian Marshall, managing broker of eXp Realty in Atlanta, highlighted this growth in today’s news release.

“In the past two and one-half years we have introduced a new company, concept and brand into the Atlanta market; have added more than 100 real estate professionals to our team; and, are closing in on 1,000 homes sold,” Marshall stated. “eXp Realty agent-owners encourage and support the achievements of their fellow shareholders, not just in Georgia but across all eXp markets in the United States and Canada, and the achievements of the Company.”

For months, EXPI has operated with the goal of creating a value proposition that’s so lucrative that it would be ‘irresponsible for an agent and broker to hang their license anywhere else’, and the resulting agent/owner business model has proven to be a hit in markets around North America. In the first quarter of 2016, the company successfully leveraged a growing network of real estate professionals to achieve year-over-year revenue growth in excess of 100 percent. For the three month period, EXPI’s revenues totaled $7.1 million, up 107 percent from $3.4 million the previous year. This increase directly correlated with the company’s 106 percent increase in agent count over the first quarter of 2015.

The Agent-Owned Cloud Brokerage™ comes complete with a number of collaborative tools, training and socialization features designed to help brokers and agents maximize their positions in real estate markets around the continent. When combined with an aggressive revenue sharing program that offers brokers a percentage of the gross commission income earned by fellow real estate professionals they attract to the company, it’s clear to see why eXp Realty was ranked as a top workplace in Atlanta and Washington, DC, and similar recognition in other major markets could be on the horizon.

Before the opening bell, Laguna Blends, Inc. (CSE: LAG) (FSE: LB6A.F) (OTC: LAGBF) announced its inclusion in the June 2016 Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) quarterly magazine as one of four featured companies that are considered difference-makers in their respective industries. The company’s two-page profile gives prospective shareholders an overview of Laguna’s recent success in leveraging a multi-level-marketing (MLM) strategy to capture market share in the growing hemp-based functional beverage products industry. The author of the profile, Peter Murray, also highlighted a promising path forward for Laguna.

“Not on that dangerous edge where you are re-inventing the wheel, nor on the lost-in-the-crowd track of doing the same thing as everyone else, Laguna Blends has apparently positioned itself in something of a sweet spot by introducing modern tools and unique products to an established industry,” Murray stated in the CSE magazine profile. “With an experienced executive team in place and sales underway, the company and its investors will soon find out just how many tech companies Laguna can leave in the rear view mirror.”

To view the full CSE publication, visit http://dtn.fm/9Hc9S. Laguna’s profile can be viewed on pages 18-19.

“Laguna is ecstatic to be included in the CSE Quarterly Magazine. We are working hard to build the necessary foundation for long-term success, the formula of which we believe combines a world class management team, efficacious products and digital disruption, cloud-based, immersive 3D technology.” Stuart Gray, chief executive officer of Laguna, stated in this morning’s news release. “Under this model, we recently launched sales in the USA and Canada and are happy to have exceeded internal sales goals. Laguna strives to be an International player in the direct sales industry within the next several of years, and we’re appreciative of the CSE for recognizing our progress toward this goal.”

Last week, Laguna offered some insight into its recent financial performance. Leveraging a growing network of independent affiliates that surpassed 700 members in April of this year, the company generated $105,000 in unaudited sales during the 11-week period ended May 31. These results exceeded Laguna’s internal sales goals, according to president Ray Grimm Jr., putting the company on track with its long-term sales growth strategy.

In an effort to build on its strong start to 2016, Laguna also introduced a new incentive program last week through which it will reward its top-performing affiliates with up to three 2017 Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model S vehicles following the achievement of predetermined sales milestones. The first Tesla is set to be awarded to the top affiliate producer when the company reaches its first month of at least $1 million in sales revenues. Additional vehicles will be awarded following the first months of at least $1.25 million and $1.5 million in monthly sales. Laguna will look to lean on the geometric growth opportunities presented by its MLM business strategy in order to achieve these sales figures ahead of the contest’s December 2017 end date.

“My near-term goal for Laguna Blends is having the Company become one of the network marketing industry’s Top 100 Companies,” Grimm added in a recent news release. “We know this achievement can’t be done without a dedicated base of affiliates, and this contest is just one way to show our appreciation for their hard work.”

Faith-based marketing is the combination of faith with marketing and business. There are a number of companies today who specialize in marketing faith-based products to targeted audiences. The integration of faith in media platforms has shown a high level of success in the mainstream world, bringing in millions of dollars each year. This said, films and music are not the only ways in which faith is being integrated into the 21st century. Digital and social media marketing have become new avenues for religious leaders to spread the word. But, what about media companies that have the focus to distribute faith-related content? Momentous Entertainment Group (OTC: MMEG) does not just spread the Christian word, it delivers content to which its customers can relate.

eXp World holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI) is a publicly-traded holding company for subsidiaries such as eXp Realty LLC and eXp Realty of Canada, which offer professionals the opportunity to earn equity awards for contributing to their growth. EXPI offers a full-service real estate brokerage that provides 24/7 access to collaborative tools and training. The company operates through a fully immersive, cloud-based environment in which real estate brokers are better able to collaborate and socialize. The company features an aggressive revenue sharing program where the agent is paid a percentage of gross commission income by introducing other real estate professionals into the company. As of today, EXPI has 106% agent growth. However, aside from the commission and the flexibility through the cloud-based environment, eXp World Holdings, Inc. has another secret weapon: the ‘Making It Rain’ program.

EXPI’s ‘Making It Rain’ program is a high-quality lead generation program that delivers leads to agents and brokers at discounted prices. Every agent at eXp World Holdings, Inc. gets a conversion website. Conversion is an amazing tool that turns traffic and leads into closings. Of course, an agent’s primary job is to drive traffic to websites. Many promote the website through their own personal social media platforms. However, this can be time consuming and complicated. The ‘Making It Rain’ Program launches tailored campaigns on the agent’s behalf. Agents and brokers can select a region, marketing budget, and platform. The ‘Making It Rain’ program then generates leads from these factors. The platform utilizes Google Adwords, which in turn means each lead is specifically targeting people looking to buy or sell real estate. The lead from this type of targeting normally has higher urgency and higher intent than from other sources.

The ‘Making It Rain’ Program is available to agents and brokers of eXp World Holdings, Inc. and is a fully managed lead generation plan. The plans start at $100 per month and can go higher depending on each individual agent’s budget. The program is contract-free and offers managed PPC and highly targeted ads that generate exclusive leads. The program will soon be introducing two new plans: Facebook Leads and Listing Promos.

Beginning in July 2018, the Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods will list added sugars separately from total sugars. Over the next two years, American shoppers will still need additional tools to snuff out added sugars in their favorite products, and finding products that avoid added sugars entirely is no easy feat. Content Checked Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CNCK) has developed a revolutionary marketplace and mobile apps covering over 70 percent of conventional U.S. food products and aimed at helping people eat healthier and avoid ingredients that do not fit their dietary restrictions or preferences. The Company’s SugarChecked app helps educate consumers and alert users of the mobile app to four types of sugars: natural low-calorie sweeteners, artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols and added sugars.

According to a study conducted by researchers at the University of North Carolina, a whopping 60 percent of all packaged food and drinks purchased in the U.S. include some form of added sugar. Finding these sweeteners isn’t always as simple as looking at the ingredients label. Although some foods include sugar in their ingredients, there are a number of different words for products that are nutritionally similar. In a list published by the New York Times, nearly 90 ingredients were identified as added sugar sources, including dextrose, flomalt, maltose and sucrose, among others.

A number of health issues have been linked to excessive sugar intake, such as obesity, diabetes and tooth decay. While the updated Nutrition Facts label will go a long way toward shining a light on hidden added sugars, SugarChecked is helping consumers get a jump on the FDA’s 2018 deadline. “More than 15 million Americans suffer from food allergies, 60 million plus care about food sensitivity, so it’s important to educate consumers about what ingredients are in packaged foods, and empower them to take steps to cook sensibly,” Kris Finstad, CEO of Content Checked, stated in a news release.

SugarChecked is one of three mobile apps currently offered by the Company. With a quick scan of a product’s barcode, SugarChecked reveals ingredients that don’t fit within a person’s dietary sugar/sweetener preferences. The SugarChecked app doesn’t just help shoppers avoid products that are not suitable for them, but it is also suggests alternatives, effectively taking the guesswork out of grocery shopping.

Investors willing to bet on domestic upstarts in the lithium-ion battery market cannot help remembering the horror stories. Back in 2006, Sony (NYSE: SNE), which played a major role in commercializing the lithium-ion technology, was forced to recall millions of battery packs when several hundred overheated and a few caught fire. In January 2013, a fire, traced to a lithium battery, broke out on an empty Japan Airlines 787 Dreamliner parked at Boston’s Logan Airport. Just a few days later, an All-Nippon Airways Dreamliner made an emergency landing at Tokyo’s Haneda airport after smoke from an overheated lithium battery filled the cockpit. These two incidents, in quick succession, galvanized a forceful response from the Federal Aviation Authority: the entire Dreamliner fleet of 50 planes was grounded.

Apprehension about the seemingly temperamental nature of lithium batteries spread and resulted in intergovernmental action. Recently, Reuters reported that ‘the U.N. aviation agency… (has) prohibited shipments of lithium-ion batteries as cargo on passenger aircraft, following concerns by pilots and plane makers that they are a fire risk.’ The ban took effect on April 1, 2016. However, all lithium-ion batteries are not made the same. The technologies employed differ. Those employed in the batteries manufactured in the U.S. by Oakridge Global Energy Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: OGES) have proven to be less risky than those used by GS Yuasa (OTC: GYUAF), which made the Dreamliner batteries, and Sony.

Since the early pioneering days of the 1990s, many lithium technologies have been developed. Sony initially employed a lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) chemistry. Since then, lithium manganese oxide (LiMn2O4) has been tried, as has lithium titanate (Li4Ti5O12). Chemistries employing different combinations of nickel, cobalt, and aluminum paired with lithium, referred to in industry jargon as NCA, are also commonplace. Such chemistries are Panasonic’s (OTC: PCRFY) forte and will, undoubtedly, be the ones used in the company’s huge joint-venture battery manufacturing plant with Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). The batteries manufactured by Oakridge in the U.S., however, employ the newer, less risky lithium iron phosphate chemistry (LiFePO4).

All battery chemistries, including lithium, share the same characteristics. Two electrodes exchange ions through an electrolyte. Ions are atoms or molecules from which negatively charged electrons have been stripped. These free electrons flow in the opposite direction to the ions through an outer circuit producing an electric current. For this system to work effectively, it is essential that the various processes involved work in the direction they are supposed to or are not circumvented. The flow of ions through the electrolyte, for example, should move in one direction during charging and in the opposite direction during discharge.

If the materials separating the various elements in the battery are breached, trouble results. An internal short-circuit occurs and the battery begins to heat up. The temperature can get to a point that triggers ‘thermal runaway’, in which the battery overheats and bursts into flames. Batteries using lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) and other oxide chemistries are particularly susceptible to thermal runaway. However, the lithium iron phosphate employed in OGES batteries can withstand higher temperatures than oxides and, consequently, remains stable over a wider range of abnormal events.

Oakridge has invested heavily in this lithium iron phosphate technology. In March, it announced the opening of its $40 million, 70,000-square-foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Palm Bay, Florida. This new facility has already started full commercial production. The company has also beefed up its management team with the appointment of seven new executives. Frank Malo will be Director of Battery Design. John Frailey will become Director of Systems Integration. Patrick Johnson is now Manufacturing Manager. David Phillips will become VP Finance and CFO. Brendan Melling will be Director of Strategic Product Development & Marketing. Spencer Jenkins is to be Manager – Materials Procurement & Logistics, and TJ Marsilio will be Director – Legal Compliance & HR.

Before the opening bell, Laguna Blends, Inc. (OTC: LAGBF) announced an exciting new program through which it will reward its top-producing independent affiliates with up to three 2017 Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model S vehicles. The first car is set to be rewarded when the company has its first month recording at least $1 million in sales revenue. When this milestone is met, Laguna will reward the top affiliate producer with the premium electric vehicle. Two additional vehicles will be rewarded to the top producing affiliates when Laguna records its first month with monthly sales of $1.25 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The Tesla contest is already underway as of this month, and it is set to run through December 2017.

“Laguna is excited to offer the Tesla S. incentive to our valued independent sales affiliates,” Ray Grimm, president of Laguna Blends, stated in this morning’s news release. “I believe anyone can earn this incentive if they have the desire and work hard enough. It’s very possible we will have up to three affiliates receive keys to their new Tesla’s before the end of next year.”

To view the full contest rules, visit http://dtn.fm/Frr7g

The introduction of the Tesla contest reaffirms Laguna’s commitment to establishing itself as one of the best companies in the network marketing industry. With an MSRP starting at $70,000, the Tesla Model S is a leading entry in the growing electric vehicle market, boasting a number of innovative features such as a bio-weapon defense mode, adaptive lighting and autopilot. While the availability of a car bonus program is a relatively common incentive, few of Laguna’s competitors offer the chance to win a brand new vehicle of this quality with no lease attached.

“My near-term goal for Laguna Blends is having the Company become one of the network marketing industry’s Top 100 Companies,” continued Grimm. “We know this achievement can’t be done without a dedicated base of affiliates, and this contest is just one way to show our appreciation for their hard work.”

Yesterday, Laguna gave prospective shareholders some insight into the company’s strong start in the network marketing space. Since commencing operations on March 7, 2016, Laguna has leaned on the marketability of its initial products – including Caffe and Pro369 – to demonstrate its long-term business potential. In just 11 weeks, the company generated unaudited sales of $105,000 from its existing affiliate base in the United States and Canada. With these results, Laguna effectively exceeded its internal sales goals, according to Grimm, and a high reorder rate from existing affiliates suggests a positive product experience and rising market demand.

As of early this year, there were over 1.28 billion mobile phone users in China according to GSMA (Groupe Spécial Mobile Association, which represents the interests of mobile operators worldwide), more than any other country on Earth by far. GSMA projections for 2020 are that there will be over a billion 4G smartphone connections in China, a massive increase from the 913 million reported last year, representing an unquestionably favorable forward trajectory that is underwritten by sweeping infrastructure programs like China Mobile’s (NYSE: CHL) TDD-LTE project.

Investors should keep in mind where the overall consumer market space is headed, with viewing all migrating to streaming, mobile commerce taking up an ever larger slice of the retail pie on a daily basis, and pipeline innovations like the recent spectrum efficiency world record set by a 5G research team from the University of Bristol. The team used huge multiple-input, multiple-output cellular base station arrays in March of this year to achieve spectrum efficiencies on the order of 22 times that of current 4G technology. It looks like people are going to be using their mobiles a lot more moving forward, and for more bandwidth-intensive things than in the past as well.

The GSMA analysis jogs quite well with recent China Internet Network Information Center (CINIC) data that showed a smartphone penetration rate of around 59 percent last year. CINIC, a branch of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, recently blew the lid off the long-running mystery about the number of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone units in China (something about which the smartphone juggernaut has been notoriously tight-lipped), with a report showing the iPhone at around 131 million active units, or nearly 17 percent of the smartphone market.

Of course, the bandwidth-creating infrastructure to service all these hungry consumers with their smartphones will have to keep up as device proliferation accelerates. But, China Mobile just announced a huge new $1.5 billion one-year frame agreement with Finnish telecom giant Nokia (NYSE: NOK) to aide in leveraging certain network assets to a more flexible cloud platform. Given that Nokia helped quarterback the global standardization of TD-LTE as a key member of the 3GPP organization and that its relationship with China Mobile stretches way back, this spells big things for China’s Internet Plus initiative, which seeks to spur on economic growth by permeating traditional Chinese industries with internet-based capabilities.

The Chinese government clearly is doubling down on the importance of mobile tech and high-speed wireless internet when it comes to juicing the country’s growth metrics. For small, local businesses in particular, such as merchants who are looking to benefit from this trend toward greater and greater volumes of mcommerce, consumer to merchant interaction, social media, big data-driven business intelligence and even entertainment are all key vectors that need to be addressed. Retailers need to make their shops and offerings visible in the age of mobile, they need to generate engagements with consumers, and ensure that those consumers will not only come back for more, but spread the word as well.

What’s really needed here is a total-package social customer relation management platform, something that can adapt as the market grows and more consumers flood in. A platform that can scale up as a merchant scales up logistically, delivering the same rich business intelligence whether a merchant has five customers, or five hundred thousand. And it just so happens that homegrown social marketing and promotions platform developer Moxian, Inc. (OTCQB: MOXC), which got its start in Shenzhen, has developed just such a platform in its Moxian+ (now in version 2.2.0) app, which comes in both a User and Business compile and can be downloaded as easily as scanning a QR Code off the website with a smartphone.

By truncating the platform into two apps for the user and merchant ends of the equation, substantial advantages are made accessible, both when it comes to the entertainment and social interaction end of things for users, as well as the big data backend that MOXC’s merchant clients are so in love with. The Moxian+ architecture truly is a marvel, bundling together customer auto updates, loyalty rewards programs and discount vouchers, with social media and entertainment, as well as geolocalizing elements. The platform thus becomes like a virtual agora, allowing people to meet new friends, share engagements, and discover local stores that are attractive to their interests. At the same time users can play games for rewards in the form of MOXC’s proprietary virtual currency units, something which also helps drive customer retention, producing a sense of familiarity, and brand intimacy.

The Moxian+ platform is ideal for driving customer conversion into full memberships, executing seamless and timely interactions, and really helping to build lasting relationships, which can serve as the foundation for growth. Moreover, this same framework lets business owners marshal their staff in real-time, resulting in tightly coordinated marketing efforts, whether the end points are in the digital realm of social media, or elsewhere.

Moxian, as a cutting-edge offline-to-online (O2O) integrated platform operator, is already out ahead of the curve when it comes to cloud integration and recently announced it’s using several of Oracle’s (NYSE: ORCL) suite of offerings, including the Oracle Exadata Database Machine, which it uses in a private cloud environment at its data center in China. This key engagement by MOXC is in support of its payment and transaction platform rollout, as well for handling the rapidly growing volume of Moxian+ users, and it also shows clearly how this small company is on the same page as sector majors like Nokia and China Mobile.

Chairman and CEO of Moxian, James Tan, asserted in an interview early in 2016 that the formation of its Moxian Beijing (Moxian Technologies Co Ltd.) subsidiary was a bold step to capitalize on both the existing success of the Moxian+ platform in China, as well as the future of the smartphone market. Moxian is looking to make big moves in the coming years, really supercharging its sales in Beijing and Mainland China, and Tan was also keen to point out the five-year cooperation agreement signed with Xinhua New Media Culture Communication to resell its ad space in China’s booming $26 billion plus gaming industry.
