Vycor Medical, Inc. (OTCQB: VYCO) is changing and improving lives every day by providing the medical community with innovative and superior surgical and therapeutic tools, including a growing portfolio of FDA-cleared medical solutions. The company currently operates two unique but complementary business units, Vycor Medical and NovaVision, which adopt a minimally or non-invasive approach to a collection of underserved medical applications.

Through its Vycor Medical unit, the company designs, develops and markets the ViewSite Brain Access System (VBAS), a proprietary suite of clear cylindrical disposable devices used to gain access to specific neurological sites, such as tumors within the brain. Vycor’s innovative medical instruments are designed to optimize neurosurgical site access, reduce patient risk, accelerate recovery and add tangible value to the professional medical community.

In recent months, the company has made significant headway toward expanding VBAS’s presence within the medical industry, increasing the number of U.S. hospitals for which the system is approved to more than 190 during the first quarter of 2015. In large part, this growth has come as a result of increasingly prevalent scientific data on the system. According to a recently released study on VBAS published by surgeons from Sapporo Medical University in Japan, the suite is believed to provide a safer, more reliable, and less invasive method for the treatment of deep-seated brain tumors.

“We continue to make good progress with our VBAS product and the new studies we are anticipating this year together with the launch of additional products makes me confident this will translate into increased VBAS penetration and greater market acceptance during the course of this year,” stated Peter Zachariou, chief executive officer of Vycor, in a recent news release.

Through its NovaVision unit, Vycor targets a substantial and largely unaddressed market of people who have lost their sight as a result of stroke or traumatic brain injury. The company’s family of therapies, which are clinically supported by decades of scientific research, both restore and help to compensate for lost vision.

NovaVision’s unique product offerings have gained significant industry traction in recent months. Late in 2014, the company received receipt of approval from HealthSouth to offer the NovaVision VIDIT diagnostic device, and, earlier this month, Vycor continued on this success by partnering with HealthSouth for a second time to make available its NeuroEyeCoach Professional Center therapy program. These two agreements provide the company with access to a potentially massive source of patients, as HealthSouth is one of the largest providers of post-acute healthcare services in the country.

“NovaVision is now positioned, for the first time, with the suite of therapies and product offerings to deliver on our strategic vision: to provide a clinically supported, affordable and scalable visual therapy solution offering broad benefits to those suffering from visual impairment following neurological damage,” continued Zachariou.

Moving forward, Vycor is in an increasingly strong position to realize enhanced returns. Despite a slim decrease in reported year-over-year revenue for the first quarter of 2015, the company’s recently announced agreements with HealthSouth, as well as expanding product approval rates for the VBAS, make Vycor an intriguing option for prospective investors in the months to come.

Pure Hospitality Solutions, in an effort to continue building shareholder confidence, recently released a collection of site design snapshots for its upcoming Central American-Caribbean online travel hub, Oveedia.

“[W]e are currently at a stage where testing will soon begin and an early launch is likely,” Melvin Pereira, president and chief executive officer of Pure, stated in a news release. “Our programmers are working tirelessly to ensure Oveedia’s launch is not only accelerated, but that an ultra-friendly user experience is achieved by front-end consumers.”

With the snapshots, Pure is providing shareholders with a glimpse into the style, functionality and design of the Oveedia platform. Along with two unique desktop versions of its design, the preview also includes both tablet and mobile design snapshots, highlighting the quantifiable progress of Pure in recent months.

“We are exploring two differently designed, ultra-responsive versions, all shown as the platform will appear on a desktop, smartphone or tablet,” continued Pereira. “We are on our way to having one of the most incredible assets in the history of our organization.”

In May, Pure took a significant step toward increasing the potential value of Oveedia by becoming a member of the Sabre Travel Network. Through this agreement, the company gained access to a $7 billion booking network, including more than 125,000 hotels, 400 airlines, 16 cruise lines and 25 car rental selections. In addition to its partnership with Sabre, Pure has also made major strides toward a sustainable presence in the growing Central American-Caribbean travel industry through the continued expansion of its standalone travel network. Last week, the company added Jaco Tour Company to the fold, and expansion to approximately 300 hotels and travel-related businesses is expected by the end of the year.

According to a report by Amadeus, the online travel agency segment in the Latin American market is expected to account for $98.5 billion in 2016, providing Pure with the opportunity to realize rapid increases in market share following Oveedia’s initial release. Integration with the Sabre Travel Network, as well as continued expansion of Pure’s standalone region-specific travel network, should make Oveedia a strong acquisition target for larger, globally dominant OTAs – including Expedia and Priceline – in the years to come. For prospective shareholders, the impending launch of Oveedia makes Pure an intriguing investment opportunity moving forward.

In addition, ViewScan has been designated by the U.S Department of Homeland Security as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology (QATT).

Due to a high demand from the correctional industry, View Systems added the LAW Handheld Metal Detector to its Weapon Detection Devices product line. The company’s NEW Law is a high-sensitivity metal detector that features rapid speed and high definition technology that makes it highly complementary to the ViewScan.

View Systems’ first response remote video transmission system is utilized in areas where hazardous materials have been exposed. The solution is small enough to be worn on a belt, helmet or vest, and it transmits conventional video or infrared imagery to the command post, making it ideal for law enforcement SWAT teams, Fire Rescue units and HAZMAT team operations.

The company is constantly conducting research and development to ensure its technologies evolve with the changing security environment. Leading this charge is a senior management team is comprised of successful businessmen with decades of business and professional experience in the security industry.

Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRCH) is an oil and gas Exploration and Production company with a primary focus on acquisition and development of highly profitable domestic oil fields. Based in Plano, Texas, the company currently holds interests in Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma, providing access to established plays including the Eagle Ford, Mississippian and Hunton. Torchlight’s focus on highly probable and profitable drilling and working interest programs that feature proven and bookable reserves has allowed the company to strategically position itself for tremendous growth moving forward.

Among Torchlight’s most promising projects is the Hunton Play, which is located in Logan and Kingfisher Counties, Oklahoma. The company’s interest in the area is divided into two unique projects: The Cimarron Project and The Chisholm Trail Project, of which Torchlight owns a 15 percent and 15.3 percent working interest, respectively. Combined, the two nearly contiguous projects cover an area of approximately 8,800 acres and fit well into the company’s strategic plan of leveraging new technologies to capitalize on established plays.

In September 2014, Torchlight acquired a 100 percent working interest in its 172,000 acre Orogrande Basin prospect. Through this agreement, the company received a five-year lease on the property that also carries additional five-year extension provisions. In March, Torchlight took a major step towards capitalizing on this interest by beginning drilling operations on its first well on the property. In May, the company built on this progress through the announcement that it had reached total depth on its initial test well.

“We are encouraged by the prospect that this well provides Torchlight shareholders,” stated Will McAndrew, Chief Operating Officer of Torchlight. “Although early in the process, we are very encouraged by what we have encountered while drilling.”

In recent weeks, Torchlight has turned its attention towards investment in order to gain the flexibility required to maximize the value of its current projects. Earlier this week, the company announced that it had closed on the sale of nearly $10 million in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. This move allowed the company to pay off its senior debt and prepare for continued growth into the future.

“We are thrilled to get this transaction completed with favorable terms and in the current market environment,” stated John Brda, Chief Executive Officer of Torchlight. “This new capital allows us to fulfill the commitments made to our stakeholders and further the development of our asset base.”

For prospective investors, Torchlight’s recent moves have made it an intriguing option in the coming months. As the company continues to develop its Orogrande Project and expand its production capabilities, Torchlight could be in a strong position to realize sustainable returns for the foreseeable future.

Transition Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTHI) is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for disease indications with large markets. The company’s leading drug candidate, ELND005, is designed to treat the agitation and aggression associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Down syndrome. Additionally, Transition is developing TT401, a metabolic drug candidate formulated to treat type 2 diabetes and its accompanying obesity. Through the continued development and clinical testing of these two products, the company is addressing medical markets that are currently underserved.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, an estimated 5.3 million Americans of all ages currently suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. Among those individuals, up to 60 percent will develop behavioral symptoms, such as agitation or aggression, over the course of their lives. Transition is making progress towards improving the comfort of those affected by these symptoms through the continued development of ELND005. In a completed Phase II study, the drug candidate appeared to decrease the emergence and severity of these neuropsychiatric symptoms by reducing myo-inositol levels in the brain.

In March, Transition took a major step towards the commercialization of its leading drug candidate through the completion of absorption-metabolism-excretion (AME) and renal clearance studies. These trials are required by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the approval of nearly all drugs in development. In both cases, ELND005 demonstrated good safety and tolerability, clearing the path for more advanced clinical trials moving forward.

The company’s product pipeline was expanded in May when Transition announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary had acquired exclusive worldwide licensing rights to TT701, a selective androgen receptor modulator that’s been shown to significantly increase lean body mass and muscle strength in male subjects.

“The safety and efficacy profile of TT701 creates a number of development opportunities,” stated Dr. Tony Cruz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Transition. “[The company] will initiate development and manufacturing activities to enable the start of a Phase 2 study in the coming months.”

Transition is expected to continue making progress towards the commercialization of its robust product pipeline moving forward. With Phase II clinical trials for three drug candidates in four unique indications ongoing, completed or upcoming, the company appears to be closing in on a significant opportunity to realize sustainable returns in the years to come.

Pure Hospitality Solutions, Inc. (OTC: PNOW) announced that it had teamed with Costa Rica-based Jaco Tour Company, allowing the company’s upcoming OTA, the Oveedia Travel Network, to officially add excursions to its growing database of reservation options.

“Today marks another major milestone for PURE, Oveedia and our reputation within the Central American-Caribbean region,” stated Melvin Pereira, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pure. “After a number of conversations and meetings, Oveedia has its first independent tour company, on-top of Sabre’s extensive database.”

Through the deal, Pure has agreed to feature the Jaco Tour Company on Oveedia’s homepage, providing travelers with access to exclusive pricing on fishing charters, transportation, local tours and day trips throughout all of Costa Rica. Moving forward, these independent offers will allow Pure to differentiate Oveedia from worldwide OTAs, further demonstrating the market for region-specific solutions in the Central American-Caribbean travel market and, potentially, increasing the end value of the Oveedia platform.

“While being a part of Sabre’s $7 Billion Travel Network family is absolutely crucial, it’s the independent hotels and companies, such as the Tango Mar and now the Jaco Tour Company, which makes Oveedia completely unique and extremely valuable,” continued Pereira. “Oveedia will have an entire region of properties and travel companies represented on its platform that are not readily listed on larger, globally known OTA’s. This, in and of itself, makes the platform extremely valuable as an acquisition target.”

Earlier this week, Pure took a major step towards the launch of its groundbreaking OTA platform by submitting the Oveedia architecture to the Sabre Travel Network. Through its partnership with Sabre, the company added more than 125,000 hotels, 400 airlines, 16 cruise lines and 25 car rental selections to its reservation database, but the importance of independent deals to the overall success of Oveedia can’t be overstated. With the early stages of the company’s three phase rollout of the network scheduled to begin in the upcoming weeks, Pure is continuing to amplify the OTAs massive potential through these region-specific partnerships.

According to a report by eMarketer, the Latin American region has led the world in terms of online travel sales growth for the better part of a decade. From 2010 to 2013, the region recorded annual growth topping 30 percent, and this rapid expansion is expected to continue in the years to come. Through the development of the Oveedia platform, Pure is positioning itself to translate this growth into sustainable returns moving forward. Look for the company to make waves in the OTA industry as it continues to expand its database of booking options, establishing Oveedia as a potentially lucrative acquisition target in the near future.

Los Angeles-based MIT Holding has an established working arrangement with one of the approximately 400 compounding licensed pharmacies remaining in the United States. Currently, many big name pharmaceutical companies are buying up these compounding pharmacies to eliminate competition. However, MIT Holding has a contractual arrangement with a well-respected and highly qualified compounding pharmacy that enables it to fulfill its own infusion and other specialty prescriptions. This capability provides MIT Holding with a distinct advantage over local “mom-and-pop” infusion centers in the rapidly growing $11 billion a year U.S. infusion therapy market.

The two most recognized names in the infusion sector are CVS Health Corp. (NYSE: CVS) and Walgreen Co. (NYSE: WAG). Both of which have established footprints into the home infusion market through a series of strategic acquisitions that highlight the growing demand for home infusion services.

CVS earlier this year completed its acquisition of Coram LLC, the specialty infusion services and enteral nutrition business unit of Apria Healthcare Group Inc., and in May entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Omnicare (NYSE: OCR). The acquisition of Omnicare is expected to greatly expand CVS’s specialty pharmacy business and increase its ability to dispense prescriptions in assisted living and long-term care facilities.

MIT Holding is also uniquely positioned to opportunities in the prescription dispensary and in-home infusion services markets. That is because MIT Holding’s business model is built around the company’s full suite of in-home recovery services, which begins when MIT Holding sends a company representative to a patient’s hospital bed on the day of discharge to establish a blueprint for successful home recovery.

Following the initial contact, MIT Holding will send a registered nurse (RN) directly to the patient’s home to provide infusion therapies and consultation. The typical four-hour infusion procedure allows the RN to establish a personal working rapport and customized recovery regimen for the patient, while cross-marketing MIT Holding’s complete suite of services. The RN offers a thorough analysis of the patient’s needs, from medications, durable medical equipment, doctor appointments, therapy sessions, insurance billing, insurance inquires, and a financial overview of the expected expenses of the remaining recovery period.

With current MIT Holding patients, this cross marketing approach is effective by including all other household members. MIT Holding benefits with an immediate expansion of its patient base by offering its services to meet the medical needs of these family members. Results have shown that families and patients often realize valuable savings on their medications, including the original infusion therapies.

MIT Holding’s new approach establishes a digital databank of information on the patient’s recovery regimen, which was created at the bedside of the patient at the point of discharge. This creates a new revenue stream of vital records necessary for doctors and hospitals to comply with new mandatory federal requirements, documenting their patient’s recovery.

Through its innovative and comprehensive in-home recovery services, which include specialty drugs, infusion services, compounding pharmaceuticals, direct insurance inquiries, insurance billing, and cross marketing efforts, MIT Holdings is in prime position to take advantage of multi-billion dollar markets. Based on IMS Health data, the specialty pharmaceuticals market is valued at $77.5 billion, constituting roughly a quarter of the overall market and growing at more than double (8.8%) the rate. Combined with the $11 billion home infusion market, these sectors are rapidly approaching the $100 billion mark.

Beginning with the world’s first dual-axis MEMS gyroscopes for the digital still camera market in 2006, InvenSense has developed a reputation for innovation within the industry by consistently delivering game changing solutions. In 2009, the company released the first integrated 3-axis motion processing solution for smartphones, and, in 2010, it unveiled the world’s first single-chip integrated 6-axis MotionTracking™ device.

By remaining on the cutting-edge of the industry, InvenSense is in a formidable position to realize continued growth moving forward.

In March, the company continued to expand its industry presence through the announced availability of its InvenSense Positioning Library (IPL) software, which is designed to provide sensor assisted positioning in places where GPS accuracy isn’t adequate. This announcement further demonstrated the potentially massive reach of the company’s expansive product line.

“With more consumers using their smartphones for turn-by-turn navigation on foot or in vehicle, one of the most frustrating user experience issues is losing your GPS signal in an unfamiliar location or being re-routed erroneously due to multipath errors,” stated Ali Foughi, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at InvenSense. “With IPL technology, high accuracy location guidance is always available and provides Smartphone OEMs with a differentiated user experience and consumers with a more reliable navigation solution.”

Through continued innovation and the release of a number of new products, InvenSense realized dramatic financial growth in recent months. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, InvenSense recorded a 68 percent increase in year-over-year net revenue, securing a 47 percent boost in annual net revenue, as compared to fiscal year 2014.

“Fiscal 2015 was a significant year for InvenSense,” stated Behrooz Abdi, President and Chief Executive Officer of InvenSense. “We achieved the highest revenue in company history, driven by strong market share gains and several high-volume customer wins… Our success in mobile in fiscal 2015 laid important groundwork for our continued achievement in the coming year.”

In the months to come, look for InvenSense to continue to build on its established industry presence through a dedication to unrelenting innovation and strategic growth into potentially lucrative new verticals. For prospective investors, the company’s strong financial results could clear the way for sustainable returns into the future.

When Stacey McBride-Irby, creator of The Prettie Girls! recently commented, “A happy, inspired childhood creates happy, inspired and powerful women,” she was putting her passion for One World Holdings, Inc. (OTC: OWOO) mission front and center on the national toy market stage. And when your company’s Chief Product Development Officer is that ‘out front’ with their feelings about the task at hand, shareholders can rest assured they have the right person for the job.

Before McBride-Irby’s tenure as the Chief Product Development Officer at OWOO, she established her talent credentials in the toy industry during her 15 years as a Project Designer for Mattel™. Since then, she has helped put The One World Doll Project on the map through her diverse collection of doll designs.

Evidence of the company’s drive to meet the needs of a diverse doll market demographic, the company announced an initial order from Amazon, adding to a burgeoning retail network that includes industry giants such as Toys ‘R’ Us and Sears. In a recent conference call, the agreement was characterized as just the first step of One World’s upcoming expansion plans. Timing could not be better as the company aims to boost its retail presence in preparation for the 2015 holiday shopping season.

Trey Waldhauser, Vice President of Business Development at One World, noted, “As we continue to see a significant increase in product sales, this new business relationship with Amazon.com represents another component of our 2015 growth plan. It’s extremely motivating to see the world’s largest online retailer take an interest in our products.”

The company’s momentum into the retail space is providing OWOO a stable foundation for generating and expanding its revenue base. At the beginning of the current quarter, the company announced a 532 percent increase in year-over-year revenue for 2014 while its national expansion puts One World in a strategically desirable position to build on this growth going forward.

Toy Association research indicates the domestic toy market has been expanding in recent years with 4% increase in market value in 2014. Last year, dolls accounted for $2.32 billion in the United States, and market indicators point to continued growth for 2015.
