WidePoint Corporation (WYY) Utilizing Unparalleled Industry Experience to Remain atop the Cybersecurity Market

In 2014, the number of detected cyberattacks skyrocketed by 48 percent, costing companies in a variety of industries more money than ever before. This year, PricewaterhouseCoopers predicts that digital security issues will remain a major concern for businesses, with a forecasted 117,339 attacks occurring each day. With the cybersecurity market becoming more vital with each passing month, WidePoint Corporation (NYSE MKT: WYY) is in a strong strategic position to expand its market share and provide increased shareholder returns.

WidePoint is a leading provider of managed mobility services, telecom lifecycle management, and cybersecurity solutions. The company’s revolutionary approach to certificate-based security and associated consulting services has allowed WidePoint to differentiate itself for the competition, establishing a foothold in the competitive cybersecurity field while consistently meeting the evolving demands of the industry.

Since 1998, WidePoint has grown through the merger of highly specialized regional IT consulting firms. Following this innovative business model, the company has united decades of experience and fluency across a collection of technologies in order to provide an unparalleled array of solutions to meet customer needs.

During the first quarter of 2015, WidePoint leveraged its unique position within the cybersecurity industry, recording an 84 percent year-over-year increase in net revenue, and the company’s expanded presence in the government sector should help position WidePoint for sustained financial improvement. With the renewal of a task order from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is valued at approximately $17 million over three years, the company is establishing channels to realize continued growth for the foreseeable future.

“We were pleased with our results in the first quarter of 2015 with slightly higher revenues than we had expected,” stated Steve L. Komar, Chief Executive Officer of WidePoint. “We remain on plan to continue to expand our DHS task order awards… while continuing our efforts at expanding our state/local and commercial footprints.”

While WidePoint’s biggest moves during the first quarter were in the government sector, the company also made strides towards growth in the commercial market. In addition to initiating work with an AT&T large financial services client regarding its next-generation identity management offerings, WidePoint continued to work closely with leading device manufacturers in expectation of booking initial revenues based on its Certificate-on-Demand™ digital certificate validation service during the second quarter of this year.

Under the direction of a seasoned management team with over 140 years of combined industry experience, WidePoint is in a strong position to continue expanding its impact on the cybersecurity industry moving forward.

GW Pharmaceuticals PLC (GWPH) Rapidly Progressing Cannabinoid Product Pipeline in US and European Markets

GW Pharmaceuticals PLC is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics from its proprietary cannabinoid product platform. Currently, the company’s primary product offering is Sativex®, which is approved for the treatment of spasticity related to multiple sclerosis in 27 countries outside of the United States. To increase market share, the company has entered into licensing agreements for Sativex® with major industry players, including Bayer Healthcare in the UK and Canada and Almirall in Europe and Mexico, providing a platform for enhanced returns moving forward. In addition to approval for spasticity treatment, Sativex® is also in Phase III clinical development for the treatment of cancer pain, which is the lead indication for the US market.

Since 2007, GW has established a world leading position in cannabinoid science development through a global cannabinoid research agreement with Japanese pharmaceutical giant Otsuka. Under this collaboration, the company is primarily researching novel cannabinoid treatments for Central Nervous System disorders and oncology.

In addition to Sativex®, GW is currently developing Epidiolex®, an investigational drug designed to treat one of the most common neurological disorders in children, pediatric epilepsy. When completed, Epidiolex® should become the leading treatment for the disorder, providing a better solution to an underserved market of nearly 250,000 patients throughout the United States and Europe.

In an effort to prepare for future growth, GW recently announced the relocation of its Chief Executive Officer to its new United States operations center. A local presence within the US market could provide GW with the opportunity to realize substantial growth as the company’s products approach their final stages of clinical development in the United States. Likewise, the company is continuing to expand its UK manufacturing and R&D operations in preparation for future commercialization of its most advanced drug candidates.

“As Epidiolex® nears its final stages of clinical development and as GW prepares for future U.S. launch, the time is right to start building our in-house U.S. commercial infrastructure,” stated Dr. Geoffrey Guy, Chairman of GW.

With continuing progress towards pivotal Phase III advanced cancer pain results, an impending launch of Sativex® in the US and the advancement of its proprietary pipeline of cannabinoid orphan drug opportunities, GW is in a strong position to provide improved shareholder returns in the coming months. Moving forward, it’s an opportune time for prospective shareholders to consider investing in this expanding company.

View Systems, Inc. (VSYM) Offers Solution during TSA Woes

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) didn’t just get a bad score when undercover federal investigators tested the integrity of our nation’s airline security; the agency bombed it (pun intended). According to a critical Inspector General’s report, undercover investigators toting illegal weapons or simulated bombs were able to penetrate security checkpoints an astounding 95% of the time.

The acting head of the TSA, Melvin Carraway, has since been removed from his post and was reassigned to the Office of State Local Law Enforcement at the Department of Homeland Security headquarters. While the TSA and Homeland Security work to identify the weak links in aviation security, they’re finding out what View Systems, Inc. (OTC: VSYM) has known all along: weapons detection technology is in dire need of an overhaul.

View Systems is a Baltimore, Maryland-based security technology products company well ahead of the game. The company’s flagship product, ViewScan, is an advanced walk-through Concealed Weapons Detection System (CWD) that greatly simplifies the process of discriminating suspicious items from harmless ones.

While TSA practices made us all feel a bit safer traveling after the 9/1l attacks, we’ve all grown irritable at the long airport lines, which the recent report insinuates are largely a bust. You remove your belt, shoes, jewelry and anything else that might raise an alarm. When you walk through the X-ray scanners, something as innocuous as a $5 bill in your back pocket warrants a hands-on frisk. If you’re among the pacemaker, pregnant or hip replacement bunch, you’ll get a frisk anyway. This slows down the line, requires extra manpower, and jumbles the entire security process.

According to Homeland Security Research Corp.’s People Screening Technologies and Global Markets 2012-2016 report, the main concepts of future checkpoints will focus on strengthening the security process by:

• Focusing resources where risk is greatest
• Supporting this risk-based approach by integrating passenger information into the checkpoint process
• Maximizing throughput for the vast majority of travelers who are deemed to be low-risk with no compromise on security levels

With ViewScan, View Systems is already aligned with the future’s security needs and is on track to become a leading weapons detection security company. The highly sensitive, completely passive sensor technology powering the ViewScan system accurately detects the location and number of threat objects such as knives, guns and razor blades while ignoring personal artifacts like coins, keys and belt buckles. Furthermore, it’s safe for people with pacemakers, pregnant women and those with replacements.

The average hourly throughput at an airport – meaning the number of people corralled through security in an hour – is estimated at 220 per hour. By accurately and quickly determining between weapon and personal belonging, ViewScan has the potential to nearly quadruple this throughput at 900 people per hour.

Airport security is just a fraction of our nation’s security market and represents only a small degree of View System’s applicability to the broader security industry. The company’s technological solutions also target modern security problems of law enforcement facilities such as correctional institutions and other government agencies, schools, courthouses, event and sports venues, the military and commercial businesses.

While View Systems has no direct competitors, its technologies are complementary to several billion-dollar people screening vendors, including Analog Corp. (NASDAQ: ALOG), which in addition to making medical imaging devices manufactures advanced explosive detection equipment used to screen checked baggage and checkpoint carry-ons specifically for the aviation industry. OSI System’s (NASDAQ: OSIS) Rapiscan Systems subsidiary offers a range of event security and people screening solutions for a wide variety of applications.

In an age of ever-increasing and always evolving threats, experts say that within the last decade, the security industry has been the fastest-growing sector of the global economy. Today, it is conservatively estimated to be a $100 billion-a-year industry and growing. As the business environment continues to get more complex, especially in foreign markets, View Systems is among industry-leading companies strategically positioned to capitalize on unsurpassed opportunity and fill aviation and other security gaps.

Drone Aviation Holding Corp. (DRNE) Positioned to Capitalize on Increasing Demand for Unmanned Aerial Systems

Drone Aviation Holding Corp. (OTCQB: DRNE) is targeting the expanding market for unmanned aerial systems through the development and manufacture of cost-effective, compact and rapidly deployable aerial platforms. Currently, the company supplies its unique and specialized aerial solutions to a collection of clients including the United States government, state municipalities and commercial entities. Unlike its competitors, DRNE’s tethered aerostat systems are completely legal to operate under current FAA guidelines, maintaining safe altitudes while offering unsurpassed flight duration and security.

The global demand for aerial drones is rapidly expanding in both the military and civilian sectors. According to Business Insider, the defense market for drones was more than $5 billion in 2013, and growth is expected to exceed 240 percent by 2023. Similarly, the civilian market for drones is forecasted to reach $2 billion during the same period, and the potential commercial applications for drones, ranging from ecommerce delivery to aerial advertising, gives the market near limitless potential moving forward.

Among DRNE’s current product line is the Winch Aerostat Small Platform, or WASP. Commonly used for applications ranging from network communications to surveillance, the aerostat is currently being utilized by the United States Army to enable network extension by elevating radio payloads to altitudes of up to 1,000 feet. Because of its cost effective construction and rapidly deployable design, WASP has opened the door for direct support of tactical maneuvers in the field.

“Existing capabilities are not only much larger but also much less mobile and operated by civilian contractors,” stated Jeff Faunce, a deputy of the Experiments Division at the USASMDC/ARSTRAT Battle Lab. “Adding a tactical-sized aerostat to the Army inventory potentially represents an inexpensive solution to extend the Army network to the tactical edge without the need for additional soldiers or the expense and logistics associated with contractors on the battlefield.”

As DRNE continues to expand and refine its product offerings, the company is in a strong strategic position to increase market share in both the military and civilian markets. In April, the company announced the receipt of an order for aerostat related support equipment for its products, further demonstrating the sustainability of DRNE’s business model in the years to come.

“We are proud to have the opportunity to work closely with our Government customers who utilize out platforms on an ongoing basis,” stated Felicia Hess, Chief Executive Officer of DRNE.

Moving forward, DRNE represents an intriguing opportunity for prospective investors. With a growing number of contracts with military organizations and the potential to expand its presence in the commercial market in the future, the company is in a strong strategic position to provide sustained returns for years to come.

Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. (OTCQB: GIGL) is bringing together high-end, organic food and active, cutting-edge play and entertainment for children in its revolutionary restaurants.

“Going out to dinner shouldn’t mean compromising our standards for our children,” stated Dorsa Parsi, cofounder of Giggles N’ Hugs. “All of the food at Giggles N’ Hugs is made with the finest, freshest quality available.”

To counteract the general disdain for vegetables present in kids of all age, Giggles N’ Hugs created Mom’s Tricky Treat Sauce.

By targeting the organic food market with its restaurants, Giggles N’ Hugs is in a strong position to capitalize on the forecasted growth of the industry moving forward.

In 2013, the market grew by 11.5 percent as consumer preference continued to shift towards healthier dining options.

For Giggles N’ Hugs, healthy food is just one piece of the puzzle, however. By filling restaurants with attractions such as kid-sized castles, giant climbers, pirate ships and walk-on dragons, the growing company ensures that it is a favorite for family members of all ages. This commitment to excellence opened the door for recognition from major industry players. In particular, Giggles N’ Hugs was voted ‘#1 Birthday Party Place in Los Angeles’ and ‘Best Pizza in Los Angeles’ by Nickelodeon, but the company’s success has gone beyond industry recognition.

In the first quarter of 2015, Giggles ‘N Hugs recorded an 11.7 percent increase in year-over-year revenue. Likewise, total costs and operating expenses decreased by 6.9 percent for the period.

“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,” stated Joey Parsi, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Giggles N’ Hugs. “We also took important steps to prepare for our expansion… moving forward on our goal of expanding to 12 company-owned locations by the end of 2017.”

Increased revenue from private party rentals and sales of membership cards and branded merchandise should allow the company to achieve continued financial improvement into the future. With a growing collection of celebrity endorsements increasing brand awareness, look for Giggles ‘N Hugs to make significant strides towards expanding its presence in the family-friendly restaurant industry in the years to come. For investors, early increases in revenue and ample industry recognition make Giggles ‘N Hugs an intriguing investment opportunity moving forward.

(359), is the only third party developer approved for regulatory compliant gaming delivery by the Nevada Gaming Commission. Using a thin client application, the company provides client servers with a simpler method for delivering games to consumers.

Through this system, the company can help to protect the legal standing of gaming providers.

Following the legalization of internet gambling sites in New Jersey, the state’s market recorded revenue of nearly $8.4 million between late November and the end of the calendar year. These promising results have caught the attention of the nation. According to a report by CBSNews, at least ten other states are now considering lifting the legislative ban on internet gambling in the near future, providing the potential for massive market growth in the months to come.

This potential market expansion provides a formidable channel for rapid growth for Consorteum. Leveraging an early mover advantage in the mobile space, the company is in a strong position to increase market share as the industry continues to grow. For potential investors, the prospect of an expanded internet gambling industry makes Consorteum an exciting opportunity in the coming months. With unparalleled qualifications in the mobile space, the company is strategically positioned to provide strong returns as the industry grows to meet immense market demand.

Medifocus, Inc. (MDFZF) Improving Cancer Treatment Options with Proprietary Technology Platforms

Medifocus, Inc. (OTCQX: MDFZF) develops and commercializes minimally invasive treatment systems used in the treatment of cancerous and benign tumors, specifically Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). With two technology platforms and approximately 100 issued and pending patents, the company is addressing a vital niche in the medical industry. According to a study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a strong majority of men will develop histologic features consistent with BPH at some point in their lives. While just 10 percent of men in their 30s display these features, the prevalence rises with age, climbing to 90 percent for men in their 70s.

Prolieve®, Medifocus’s proprietary BPH treatment solution, is a revenue-generating product catering to a multi-billion dollar market. Considered a true in-office therapy by urologists because of its immediate symptom relief, Prolieve® is currently in use by a network of nearly 250 physicians nationwide. In August 2014, Medifocus restructured the costs associated with Prolieve® sales to improve operational efficiency, and the initial results have been promising.

“Since we launched the Prolieve® restructuring program, we have reduced our operating costs and are seeing immediate but gradual recovery in revenue,” stated Dr. Augustine Cheung, Chief Executive Officer of Medifocus. “We will remain diligently focused on minimizing our operating expenses… in our effort to grow the Prolieve® business in a more efficient and sustainable manner.”

In addition to BPH, Medifocus has recently turned its attention toward breast cancer through the development of its APA 1000 treatment system. The system works by providing volumetric heating to treat large, solid tumors, and it is approved by the FDA for use with radiation therapy. Currently, Medifocus is working to accelerate APA 1000’s Phase III clinical study. When completed, the new treatment method will open the door to a vital sector of the medical industry. According to Breastcancer.org, breast cancer affects approximately 12 percent of women, and an estimated 231,840 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the United States in 2015.

Through continued development and advancement of its treatment technologies, Medifocus has strategically positioned itself for strong returns moving forward. In the final quarter of 2014, Medifocus realized a 40 percent increase in sales over the previous quarter, providing a glimpse of the massive potential for growth the company’s proprietary technologies could offer moving forward. These results, in addition to a recently announced option agreement with Duke University regarding heat-activated and tumor targeted immunotherapy, should provide Medifocus with an opportunity to realize sustained growth in the years to come.
