In recent months, Dominovas Energy has made significant strides toward expanding its foothold in the African energy industry. Following the company’s announcement of a multi-megawatt agreement with the City of David in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the company has leveraged an early-mover advantage in building an industry presence and capitalizing on the considerable scope of the Power Africa Initiative (PAI).

The PAI is a multi-stakeholder partnership comprised of over 100 private sector partners designed to provide support for all countries in sub-Saharan Africa. When complete, it is expected to add more than 30,000 megawatts of cleaner, more efficient electricity generation capacity to the region. Beginning with a collection of six PAI focus countries – including Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria and Tanzania – the initiative will provide the foundational support to build the regulatory, economic and policy framework needed to meet the area’s increasing demand for electricity.

In June, Dominovas Energy announced a partnership with the United States government that named the company as the first, and only, fuel cell company selected as a private sector partner to the PAI. As a result of this partnership, the Company is well-positioned to provide clean, reliable energy to the PAI region over the next several years with its proprietary RUBICON™ solid oxide fuel cell system. In addition to installation, the company is expected to partner with local universities in order to provide the relevant training needed to service and maintain its innovative power generation technology.

“With Power Africa’s commitment to the entire sub-Saharan Africa, it has set the stage for Dominovas Energy to complete sales cycles it began in earnest over two years ago with government officials of respective nations working closely with our company to realize a viable solution to their energy sector concerns,” Emilio De Jesus, president of Dominovas Energy’s Africa division, stated in a news release.

Earlier this month, the company cleared the path to capitalize on its position in the PAI by establishing relationships with a collection of financing partners. As a private sector partner, Dominovas Energy will have direct access to the PAI’s committed government, public and private sector lenders, providing the company with the means to secure the structured equity and debt financing necessary to successfully deploy its RUBICON™ systems through sub-Saharan Africa.

Look for Dominovas Energy to build on its strong strategic positioning in the future, providing a platform for potentially massive financial growth in the years to come. For prospective investors, the company’s partnership with the U.S. government on the PAI demonstrates the overall marketability of its groundbreaking power generation technology and makes Dominovas Energy an intriguing investment option moving forward.

According to a report by the National Restaurant Association, restaurant industry sales are expected to climb to a record high of $709.2 billion in 2015, which would mark the sixth consecutive year of real market growth. Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. (OTCQB: GIGL) is set to capitalize on this opportunity by combining high-end, organic food with active, cutting-edge play and entertainment for children. In the first quarter of 2015, the company successfully leveraged the strong performance of the restaurant industry to realize an 11.7 percent year-over-year increase in revenue, providing prospective investors with a preview of its tremendous market potential in the years to come.

“This is the first quarter we’re seeing true year-over-year comparisons for our three current locations, and to report double-digit revenue growth in the period bodes very well for our long-term success,” Joey Parsi, founder and chief executive officer of GIGL, stated in a news release. “[W]e’re moving forward on our goal of expanding to 12 company-owned locations by the end of 2017.”

In addition to expanding through company-owned locations, GIGL has expressed interest in potentially franchising its proven family-friendly restaurant brand in order to promote both domestic and international growth moving forward. As the company continues to build brand recognition throughout the food service industry, demand for this tested growth strategy will likely continue to increase.

“Since opening our first Giggles N’ Hugs in 2009, we’ve seen a steady stream of interest from franchisees looking to take our concept to markets here in the U.S. and around the world,” continued Parsi. “We’re… very excited about the potential of further growth fueled by franchise locations.”

The company’s convenient locations in and around Los Angeles have helped it become a favorite among celebrity parents, with a collection of well-known actors and models visiting GIGL’s locations over the years. These visits should help to continue establishing GIGL as a respected and trusted brand on a global scale, which will be particularly beneficial if and when the company begins franchising operations.

Unlike its competitors, GIGL offers an ideal combination of nutritious, delicious food and entertainment that’s perfect for a family outing and lives up to lofty expectations. As a result, the company has claimed a host of industry recognition, including being voted ‘Best Pizza in Los Angeles’ and ‘#1 Birthday Party Place in Los Angeles’ by Nickelodeon and ‘Best Indoor Playspace’ by Red Tricycle.

Today’s gaming marketplace is clamoring loud and clear for retro gaming. Lately there have been promotions for a major film centered on classic arcade game characters and numerous old school gaming festivals around the country that point toward a niche for the nostalgic. It is not hard to see that the market potential for vintage video games is astounding. What’s additionally exciting is that the white hot adoption of smartphones makes meeting this potential ultra-accessible. WRIT Media Group, Inc. (OTCQB: WRIT), by way of its wholly-owned subsidiary Retro Infinity, Inc., has its sight set on cashing in on this demand as it brings the most popular retro gaming titles to their customer base one consumer at a time.

Mr. Eric Mitchell, CEO of WRIT, stated in a press release last spring, “The mobile gaming industry size is projected to be over $20 billion by 2016, and retro gaming is a huge part of that.” “Our company… has the ability to generate substantial revenue over the next 6-12 months based on our business model which is inexpensively licensing video game titles and quickly getting them into the marketplace on one of the biggest electronic platforms available right now, which is the smartphone.”

As the company names the smartphone app market as its primary focus, WRIT is poised to see ongoing growth. A Bluecloud Solutions report indicates that mobile app usage grew by more than 75 percent in 2014, with the average U.S. consumer downloading 8.8 apps per month. In the past, gaming app development has established a track record of being very costly. Industry data suggests it’s not uncommon for mobile games to eclipse $100,000 in production costs. By licensing retro gaming titles and leveraging emulation software, WRIT considers itself more than capable of entering the upward trending mobile gaming industry without the steep capital figures once needed to produce original content.

WRIT says it will provide access to its licensed titles through an app for popular smartphone operating systems which include iOS and Android. Unlike most game developers, WRIT could minimize risk by providing proven titles to a market crying for retro options. Along with this predictability comes the potential to deliver the energy necessary for capitalizing on current demand in the market.

Ocera Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCRX) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary compounds to treat acute and chronic orphan liver disease. The company’s leading product candidate, OCR-002, is currently being studied in phase IIb clinical trials for the treatment of hyperammonemia and resultant hepatic encephalopathy in patients with acute liver failure and acute-on-chronic liver disease. In early testing, OCR-002 has been shown to lower circulating blood levels of ammonia by enabling alternate metabolic pathways in the muscles and kidney, helping the candidate achieve orphan drug designation and fast track status from the FDA.

When commercialized, OCR-002 will provide Ocera with access to a severely underserved market within the biopharmaceutical industry. According to Medscape, acute liver failure, though uncommon, is a debilitating condition in which rapid deterioration of liver function in a previously healthy individual causes encephalopathy, or alteration of mental status, in addition to a host of potentially life-threatening symptoms. Without liver transplantation, the current survival rate of acute liver failure is just seven percent.

In the first quarter of 2015, Ocera ramped up clinical studies of its product pipeline in a push toward the eventual market approval of OCR-002. As of March 31, the company reported cash and cash equivalents of just over $46 million, which will be essential to the continued development of its promising product candidate. Based on its current guidance, Ocera expects that it will have sufficient cash to fund operations into the fourth quarter of 2016.

“I am pleased to report positive developments in our clinical pipeline so far this year, including progress with both the intravenous and oral formulations of OCR-002,” Dr. Linda Grais, president and chief executive officer of Ocera, stated in a news release. “Serious liver disease impacts millions of patients and their families. We at Ocera Therapeutics are committed to finding much needed alternatives to current treatments for these patients.”

The company’s operating strategy includes future licensing of certain rights to its drug development programs following achievement of proof of concept, which should provide Ocera with expanded commercialization capabilities and a limited risk profile while maintaining the potential for significant returns. For prospective shareholders, this strategy could provide a platform for strong financial growth moving forward. Look for Ocera to turn its focus toward the development of strategic industry partnerships as it inches toward the future market approval of OCR-002.

Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (OTC: LQMT) is the world’s leading developer of amorphous alloys, with more than 70 U.S. patents covering its unique manufacturing processes.

The company’s alloys feature a unique atomic structure that opens the door for performance and accuracy levels that exceed the historical limitations of the metal fabrication industry, allowing the company to accurately and consistently produce a broad range of parts for use in medical, military, consumer, industrial and sporting goods products.

In recent months, Liquidmetal has leveraged the versatility of its technology in order to achieve a collection of production milestones. Last month, the company announced the successful delivery of its first production parts made in its recently completed Rancho Santa Margarita manufacturing facility. The product, a hybrid knife that combines the advantages of a fixed blade and a folder, is noteworthy because it is the first of its kind in the world, and its production is only possible using Liquidmetal’s revolutionary technology.

“The first commercial shipments from our newly established Manufacturing Center of Excellence is a hallmark achievement following the establishment of manufacturing, engineering, sales and marketing co-located under one roof,” Tom Steipp, president and chief executive officer of Liquidmetal, stated in a news release. “The success of this project demonstrates the commercial stability of the Liquidmetal process technology.”

Last week, the company built on this progress by announcing the receipt of a prototype order from a world class manufacturer located in Europe. Successful completion of this order, as well as continued increases in marketplace interest surrounding the considerable benefits provided by its proprietary alloy technology, should help Liquidmetal continue expanding its presence in an array of promising industries in the future.

“The success of this recent international prototype order further demonstrates the manufacturing capabilities of our Liquidmetal technology and its growing acceptance on the worldwide stage,” continued Steipp.

Look for Liquidmetal to lean on its sales and marketing team in order to continue identifying marketable customer applications and generating actionable interest in its technology in the months to come.

Although specifically developed to improve the efficiency of solar power generation systems, the company has also leveraged its proprietary technology to develop a sustainable presence in a collection of promising markets.

For prospective shareholders, the company’s recent market growth could foreshadow an opportunity for considerable returns in the months to come. Look for Galenfeha to continue building on its progress in expanding the marketability of its advanced battery technology in the future.
