OncoSec Medical, through the continued clinical development of its proprietary ImmunoPulse™ intratumoral cancer immunotherapy, is preparing to revolutionize the cancer treatment market. The company’s innovative therapeutic delivery system is designed to enhance local delivery and reception of DNA-based therapeutics through the use of electroporation, or electrical stimulation, meant to increase the permeability of the cell membrane. By supplying a sequence of short-duration electrical pulses to a tumor, ImmunoPulse has been shown effective in dramatically improving the uptake of DNA-based agents, thereby increasing the effectiveness of treatment options for various types of cancers by educating immune cells to recognize the disease.

To date, the company has primarily studied the benefits of its ImmunoPulse technology in combination with its DNA-based IL-12, a naturally occurring protein with immune-stimulating functions. OncoSec’s clinical pipeline currently includes phase II clinical studies of IL-12 for the treatment of metastatic melanoma, head and neck cancer and triple negative breast cancer. In early tests, the company has recorded promising results. In its multi-center phase II trial of IL-12 as a treatment for metastatic melanoma, half of all patients showed complete regression in at least one untreated lesion, demonstrating the immune-stimulating functions of the therapeutic. For OncoSec and its ImmunoPulse delivery system, these results could be just the beginning.

“While we work to advance our clinical studies, we are also continuing to explore the broader applications of our ImmunoPulse technology,” Punit Dhillon, president and chief executive officer of OncoSec, stated in a news release. “While our engineers work to develop advanced devices capable of accessing difficult-to-reach tumors, the discovery research team is investigating new DNA constructs and targets focused on defeating cancer’s ability to evade the immune system, allowing the patient’s immune system to recognize and attack the tumor.”

For prospective shareholders, the vast market potential of OncoSec’s therapeutic delivery system makes the company an intriguing investment opportunity moving forward. As of April 30, the company reported $25.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, which it expects will adequately fund operations for the next year. Additionally, the company’s uplisting to the NASDAQ Capital Market, which it completed in May, should provide a platform for increased visibility when the need for additional funding arises. With financial flexibility in place, OncoSec is in a strong position to make continued progress toward the eventual commercialization of its groundbreaking therapeutic pipeline in the coming months.

Home prices are once again on the rise. According to a report by the United States Census Bureau, the average price of new home sales in May of this year was $337,000, marking the highest May average in recorded history. With statistics such as these in mind, Wisdom Homes of America, Inc. (OTCQB: WOFA) is working to make buying a home more affordable through the commercialization of readily-available manufactured homes in the Lone Star State.

In recent years, the market for manufactured homes has experienced tremendous growth, as more Americans are realizing the financial benefits of prefabricated housing options. In 2014, new manufactured home sales totaled approximately $4.1 billion, representing an increase of nearly 14 percent over the previous year. This surge can likely be attributed to the immense value offered by manufactured home solutions. According to WOFA’s website, home buyers can purchase a three bedroom, two bathroom home with vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors on a half-acre of prime real estate for just $120,000, which is a fraction of the average cost of comparable stick-built houses.

WOFA has leveraged the current condition of the housing market to post strong financial growth in recent months. In the second quarter of 2015, the company’s total revenue exceeded $1.2 million, and it expects to achieve revenues of at least $4 million by the end of the year. These results are particularly impressive when considering that WOFA has yet to complete its first full year of owning and operating home retail centers.

Moving forward, WOFA is in a strong strategic position to continue increasing its share of the national manufactured homes market. For prospective shareholders, the company’s early success in the retail distribution of prefabricated homes could foreshadow an opportunity to realize sustainable returns in the future. Look for WOFA to promote additional growth as it persists toward its goal of opening 30 retail centers in Texas and the surrounding states in the months to come.

AmbiCom Holdings is a leading provider of optimization software solutions designed to improve the performance of complex IT environments, servers and personal computers. The company’s flagship product, Veloxum, has been certified by Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), IBM (NYSE: IBM), VMware (NYSE: VMW) and Citrix (NASDAQ: CTXS) as an effective tool for maximizing performance, increasing workload density and minimizing costs for all levels of computer users. Through the development and commercialization of this product line, AmbiCom has access to a market that’s currently valued at nearly $69 billion, according to a report by Gartner Research.

Over the years, the PC optimization market has been plagued with less-than-helpful software scams, which have effectively limited the market potential of proven optimization solutions, such as Veloxum. In recent months, however, lawmakers have initiated a paradigm shift that could greatly increase the marketability of AmbiCom’s proprietary software in the future. Following dozens of court complaints by individuals and companies that were reportedly swindled for well over $120 million in deceptive threat detection computer programs, the FTC and the state of Florida took actions aimed at eliminating the marketability of these tech scams moving forward.

“We see this crackdown as great opportunity to introduce these consumers to a product that has been certified and verified as legitimate with actual results,” John Hwang, chairman and chief executive officer of AmbiCom, stated in a news release.

The Veloxum PC active optimization software, which was released in April, is a cloud-based offering that provides consumers with performance features that were previously only available to large enterprises. By automatically evaluating a computer’s workload and assets, the innovative software is able to tweak the manufacturer’s supplied settings in order to deliver enhanced performance. The current addressable market for AmbiCom’s PC offering includes more than 2.3 billion individual devices around the globe.

Earlier this week, AmbiCom expanded upon the potential marketability of its product portfolio by announcing Veloxum AO, a cloud-based active optimization solution for managed service providers (MSPs). This product, which is expected to be available for installation in August, will deliver the same performance features of AmbiCom’s previous solutions with added remote capability. There are currently an estimated 30,000 MSP firms worldwide generating approximately $251 billion in revenue, according to a report by Channeleyes.com.

“Every single computer, be it a PC or a server, can benefit from proper tuning,” stated Kevin Cornell, president of AmbiCom.

For prospective shareholders, AmbiCom’s continued growth in the computer optimization market should provide a strong platform for sustainable financial growth in the months to come.

On the Move Systems today said it is mulling the start of a shared economy, same-day courier service and has been conducting extensive market research into determining the feasibility and ideal location for such an operation.

Initial design of the courier service would use a shared economy business model similar to the highly successful Uber, Lyft and Airbnb in which local drivers would deliver packages or documents on-demand from customers to the destination of their choice within a pre-determined length of time – usually a few hours.

“This is the next logical step in our company’s continued evolution,” OMVS CEO Robert Wilson stated in the news release. “Now that we’ve successfully reached the design stage on our trucking platform, it’s the perfect time to look for new markets that can generate additional revenues for OMVS and its investors. Our research shows the shared economy is a market ripe with possibilities. Foremost are courier services. We’re going to pursue this exciting new opportunity with great vigor.”

OMVS said it believes a shared economy courier service offers the potential for exponential growth in a $216 billion market on demand for fast and cost-effective local, same-day solutions to large, national couriers such as FedEx and UPS.

Analysts estimate the shared economy services to be $450 billion market, and OMVS notes that there exists a ready pool of drivers who are already familiar with a shared economy business and would use this to supplement their income, as well as people who would like to earn additional pay but don’t want to use their vehicles to transport strangers in a ride-sharing model.

QualityStocks today announces the availability of a new audio interview with Joey Parsi, founder and chief executive officer of Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. (OTCQB: GIGL). The interview can be heard at www.QualityStocks.net/interview-gigl.php.

Parsi kicks off the interview with a description of the Giggles N’ Hugs business concept — a truly family-oriented restaurant and play space. Parsi likens the model to Chuck E. Cheese, but notes a gamut of differences that makes Giggles N’ Hugs the first-of-its-kind.

Rather than processed pizzas and other foods, for example, Giggles N’ Hugs features premium, organic and healthy food options for kids and adults, as well as high-end entertainment, activities and play areas vs. arcades and video games at Chuck E Cheese and other “family” restaurants.

“We’re all the things that Chuck E. Cheese would dream of being, but is not. We allow parents to come in and sit and eat and relax while the kids get to run around in an incredible giant play area in the middle of the restaurant … every half hour there’s an activity; magic shows, puppet shows, music shows, concerts, face painting, karaoke … so the kids are entertained and bonding with their parents,” says Parsi.

Parsi then describes the background of his management team, which Parsi describes as some of the most “astute restaurateurs in the country if not the world,” and advisory board, and how their combined experiences are driving the company’s rapid growth.

“When we launched our first store back in 2008 in a little strip mall … here in Los Angeles, we never though the concept would be as big and huge as it’s become. In fact, it started pretty quickly, dynamically. The first day that we opened our store we had several hundred people in line to get in, and we had NBC News and Fox News there to interview me because word had gotten out about this new restaurant concept that was coming to the rescue of all parents who had toddlers,” he says. “Since that first launch we’ve been fortunate and lucky to be able to count some of the biggest celebrities in Hollywood as our customers.”

Buzz of the Giggles N’ Hugs concept continued to spread nationwide, garnering the company a stellar list of media coverage, including in the Wall Street Journal, People Magazine, New York Times and many more.

Giggles N’ Hugs also started getting interest from Westfield, one of the biggest mall landlords in the U.S. Westfield paid Giggles N’ Hugs a significant amount of money to help with construction costs, and drastically reduced the company’s rent. What the mall wanted was foot traffic.

“[The landlords’] lifeblood and their model … is dependent on foot traffic. Recognizing that Giggles N’ Hugs delivers significant foot traffic to the mall because of our birthday parties … they asked us to come into one of the premier malls I think in the country … where we opened our second location,” says Parsi.

Following the success of the second location, Westfield requested Giggle N’ Hugs in every one of its locations throughout the United States — 55 malls in total. The request led to the third location, and has sparked similar requests from several additional malls in the country.

Parsi further details the insurmountable interest from landlords and mall owners nationwide, before interview host Stuart Smith mentions the incredible revenue growth the company has achieved in recent quarters. Revenue for 2014 increased 48% to $3.3 million, while first-quarter revenue increased 11% year-over-year to $0.9 million.

Concluding the interview, Parsi discusses significant and exciting domestic and international growth and franchise opportunities for the Giggles N’ Hugs brand.

By expanding its distribution reach internationally into Australian and European markets, SMDM will look to build upon this progress in the months to come.

“Singing Machine has now recorded profits for four consecutive years and shown the ability to continue to grow sales,” Gary Atkinson, chief executive officer of SMDM, stated in a news release. “As we grow our sales and market share, we intend to also incorporate strategies to improve gross profits and earnings to benefit our shareholders.”

Last December, the company provided both investors and consumers with a demonstration of the versatility of its product portfolio when it announced the release of the Home 2.0. This product, an upgraded version of SMDM’s original Bluetooth speaker entertainment system, combines the classic karaoke experience with a modern technological twist that makes it appealing to consumers in a variety of demographics. Using an internet connection, Home 2.0 streams HD quality sing-along videos that are perfect for get-togethers, and it can be easily linked with any Bluetooth-enabled device to provide crystal clear audio when not serving as a karaoke machine.

With an established presence in the consumer entertainment industry, SMDM is in a strong strategic position to continue building on its recent market success moving forward. For prospective shareholders, the company’s recent financial growth could foreshadow an opportunity for sustainable returns. Look for SMDM to lean on its considerable industry experience in order to promote more strong results in the years to come.

Dominovas Energy, an energy-solutions company headquartered in Atlanta, today announced the “historic execution” of a guaranteed 200MW multi-year Power Provider Agreement (PPA) to provide electricity to the South Kivu Province, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, via Dominovas Energy’s proprietary RUBICON™ Solid Oxide Fuel Cell system.

Dominovas Energy’s mission is to electrify the world; the company says it is on pace to deliver an unprecedented number of MWs of fuel cell generated electricity to the continent as it works to deploy a technology that will revolutionize the way electricity is delivered in Africa.

What makes today’s announcement “historic” is that the deal represents the equivalent of 20% of all the fuel cells that have been delivered in the last 20 years.

“There is a very calculated approach to the methodology of Dominovas Energy. It was critical to make certain we had venerable OEM partners that have the supply chain and manufacturing bandwidth to allow us to execute large scale orders and deliver as promised,” Michael Watkins, COO and president Dominovas Energy’s Fuel Cell Division, stated in the news release.

The city of Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu, has experienced incredible urban growth since colonial times; Sadiki et al. (2010) reported about 620,000 inhabitants for 2008 while other areas of the Province now have population centers exceeding 1 million citizens. South Kivu is known for its agriculture potential, as well as its vast hydrocarbon reserves under the lake with the same name.

Today’s news follows the company’s announcement just a few weeks ago of its 3MW PPA with the SOMICO SARL mines, also in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and its 3MW PPA to electrify the City of David in the country.

The physical deployment of the RUBICON™ in the Democratic Republic of Congo is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2016 while the 200MW deployment will not begin until in the first quarter of 2017.

The 200 MW installation is a continuation of what is the largest single deployment of fuel cell technology on the continent of Africa, representing a paradigm shift in the DRC’s approach to addressing concerns regarding harmful carbon emissions, and to reducing the ever-expanding equipment maintenance and inefficiencies that are associated with increased costs, as are endemic with power generation from diesel generators, combined-cycle gas-fired turbine (CCGT) power plants, and other combustion-centric technologies.

Emilio De Jesus, president of Dominovas Energy’s Africa Division, expressed, “I cannot begin to express my gratitude to the leadership of the Democratic Republic of the Congo for the acceptance of our technology and their trust in our ability to deliver 21st century technology and solutions for their Country. This 200MW multi-year deployment will address immediate electricity needs of a Province that is on a fast track for economic growth. It will serve as a model for large scale RUBICON™ deployments across Africa and beyond.”

The RUBICON™ is expected to produce over 25.5 million kWh of clean, efficient, and reliable electricity every year. The 200MW PPA will yield more than US$1 billion in “guaranteed revenue” to Dominovas Energy over the multi-year term PPA.

Watkins added, “We have worked diligently to put ourselves in this position to be able to qualify for acceptance in the Power Africa Initiative, which provides us direct partner access to finance partners that share in the mission to provide power to Africa. Today, our sales cycle is maturing, our OEM partners are committed and in place, and our revenue and financing model is being received with favor. As a result, our pipeline of projects is creating the type of production scale that will promote efficient and cost-effective manufacturing. Equally exciting is that our manufacturing will further stimulate job creation and expansion domestically, as the RUBICON™ is manufactured and supported by a robust supply-chain in the U.S.”
