• SPYR’s Applied MagiX seeks to leverage the large and loyal Apple following to establish its brand in the Apple Ecosystem
• The global smart home market is set to grow at a 15.75% CAGR over the next 5 years, rising to a value of $187 billion per annum by 2025
• SPYR Inc purchased subsidiary, Applied MagiX, to gain access to the smart home market as well as the Apple HomeKit product ecosystem
• As of 2021, Applied MagiX had launched 5 Apple-compatible products with plans to launch a proprietary line of products in the coming future

The Apple ecosystem is second-to-none. Apple has built a fiercely loyal consumer base through its products and services – ranging from Apple computers, peripherals, and iPhones, to services including, Apple News, Apple Fitness+, Apple Arcade and Apple Music. As an indicator of Apple’s significant and long-standing following, the company recently revealed that its App Store had connected with over 600 million people per week across 175 countries, enabling the App Store to generate over $260 billion in cumulative sales since its launch in 2008. Meanwhile, the 2021 holiday season saw App Store customers spend more than ever before between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, driving double-digit growth relative to 2020 (https://ibn.fm/NAYiS). SPYR (OTCQB: SPYR), dba SPYR Technologies, is a technology company which, through its wholly owned subsidiary Applied MagiX Inc., develops and sells Apple(R)-ecosystem-compatible products, seeking to capitalize on the Apple consumer base through product offerings including devices and accessories specifically built on Apple’s HomeKit framework(R). Applied MagiX is a registered Apple developer and reseller. The global smart home market has made its mark as one of the fastest growth segments within the consumer market today, with the sector expected to generate revenue upwards of $104 billion in 2021. That figure is set to grow further still, rising to an annual total of $187 billion by 2025, with a 15.75 percent CAGR over the five-year interim (https://ibn.fm/rFHBu). In late 2020 and after witnessing the stunning growth within the sector, Denver-based SPYR Inc. opted to acquire Californian IoT company, Applied MagiX, with the acquisition propelling SPYR into the multi-billion-dollar smart home industry, and perhaps more critically, giving them entry into the Apple HomeKit smart home market (https://ibn.fm/HBGfJ). Having already begun generating sales and revenue through its partnerships with online retail giants Amazon, Walmart and eBay, SPYR’s Applied MagiX revealed plans to release a proprietary range of products designed to complement and work in conjunction with the Apple HomeKit system. Meanwhile and in the interim, the company has centred its offering around a range of white-labelled Apple HomeKit, Apple CarPlay, and Apple Watch products and accessories drawn from several trusted technology partners, thereby enabling Applied Magix to both generate revenues immediately, whilst simultaneously building an active customer base to introduce their own-branded product range to upon the latter’s release. SPYR and Applied MagiX launched their initial product range in April 2021, with a focus on five key consumer products – the MagixDrive Wireless CarPlay adapter; the HomeKit Secure Video Camera with iCloud Storage; the Multipurpose Sensor with Alarm; the Environment and Motion Sensor; and the Window and Door Contact Sensor. Apple has increasingly sought to combine its product offering as part of their holistic offering which includes iCloud+, thus introducing its home services and hardware to its millions of customers around the globe. With Apple set to become a dominant player within the global smart home sector, SPYR Inc and Applied MagiX look well placed to capitalize on the sector’s spectacular growth rate going forward.

• RWB marked 2021 with strategic acquisitions, with the most notable of them being Acreage Holdings Inc. and a 45,000 square foot greenhouse in Apopka, Florida
• These strategic investments would see the company steadily grow its revenue, marking a 93% year-over-year growth by Q3
• The year also marked notable appointments, including Ryan Costello and Colby De Zen, both into the company’s Board of Directors
• RWB is confident that the foundations laid down in 2021 will play a vital role in the company’s growth in 2022, as well as creating shareholder value

Since its inception, Red White & Bloom Brands (CSE: RWB) (OTCQX: RWBYF) has remained focused on being a torchbearer, leading a new frontier in American cannabis. Accordingly, its operations have been defined by adhering to the highest ethical, manufacturing, educational, branding, and employment standards available in the industry. These factors have allowed it to set itself apart from other players in the cannabis space. Over the years, RWB has entered strategic brand acquisitions and partnerships to expand its market presence and position, and become one of the key players in the United States cannabis market. This would be one of the company’s highlights for the 2021 calendar year, kicking off with the acquisition of Acreage Holdings Inc. Later in the year, RWB would also mark other notable purchases, including a 45,000 square foot greenhouse in Apopka, Florida (https://ibn.fm/eYzkX). In December, RWB settled CAD$5.1 million debt and refinanced the CAD$12.8 million principal amount of its vendor take-back note to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares of Acreage Florida, Inc. This would mark the close of RWB’s 2021 list of acquisitions which, its management is confident, will be integral to growing its market share and presence in the new year (https://ibn.fm/Md1xP). Strategic investments for the company in 2021 paid off significantly. In Q1 2021, it posted a 14.5% increase in adjusted sales from the previous quarter (“Q4 2020”) (https://ibn.fm/itQJR). In addition, Q2 would mark a 13% increase in revenue over Q1 2021, with Q3 posting a 93% year-over-year increase in revenue, its biggest jump yet (https://ibn.fm/CeQOc). The company attributed this growth to the additional building blocks laid down over the year, as it works towards being even more profitable as time progresses. “In the third quarter, we made excellent progress in laying additional building blocks in our core operating states of Florida, Michigan, and California to become more vertically integrated where it will be most profitable. This will help drive increased revenue and margins for the company,” noted Brad Rogers, RWB’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). 2021 would also mark key appointments at RWB, starting with Ryan Costello’s appointment to the Board of Directors. In addition, the company also brought Colby De Zen, a renowned strategic investor, to its Board of Directors. These appointments would be integral to RWB’s growth and its representation within the United States market. Going into 2022, RWB is confident that the foundations laid down over the 2021 calendar year will play a vital role in the company’s growth and creating shareholder value. It has also been vocal about being asset-light and brand-rich, a strategy driven by supporting its brands most profitably. So far, it has put teams in place to help its plan in the different states it operates, a move that it believes will pay off in this new year.

• Eat Well Investment Group Inc. is a brand builder and investor in plant-based consumer products, many of which have already established their popularity and function in North American markets
• The company’s investments in 2021 have led to growing revenues, and company officers forecast continuing to grow to about $100 million in sales by the end of 2022
• Eat Well Investment’s majority-owned Amara toddler organic food line was named Amazon’s top new release last year
• The company’s products enjoy a place on big box retail store shelves such as Walmart, Whole Foods, and Sprouts Farmer’s Market, and in January Eat Well announced they are also available nationwide across Canada in Loblaws Inc. stores

As the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic enters its third year, plant-based foods investment company Eat Well Investment Group (CSE: EWG) (OTC: EWGFF) is celebrating the stability of its holdings’ international sales and its prospects for revenue growth during the coming year. Eat Well Investment Group has built its vertically integrated approach to feeding people delicious, more nutritious food at a lower cost than market standard and with greater accessibility at a global scale since turning its focus from providing venture capital funding for early-stage companies, to acquiring companies outright or acquiring majority stakes in companies. The company’s primary aim is to create “transformational opportunities at scale within the plant-based agribusiness (pulse protein) and emergent foodtech CPG space” thanks to an experienced cadre of personnel, and a consumer product line that boasts “proteins, starches, and fiber (that) are now common ingredients in many everyday CPG products (not just vegan), from crackers, snacks, pastas, breads, plant-based meats, and milks/beverages” (https://ibn.fm/nXIB6). After completing acquisition of plant-based food companies Belle Pulses and Sapientia Technology LLC on July 31, Belle Pulses-related revenues had increased more than 35 percent YOY as of the company’s most recent quarterly financials filing, according to the company’s statement. Sapientia launched its first commercial product — plant-based twisted curls snacks created by the company’s founder and president, who invented the highly successful Twisted Cheetos — in December. Eat Well Group plans to scale its new revenue channel during the coming year with additional product offerings (https://ibn.fm/TTPPH). Eat Well’s efforts to promote nutritional health through quality products under its banner also include its agreement in October to acquire a 51 percent initial investment in Pata Foods Inc., which is doing business as healthy and affordable baby and children’s food company Amara. Amara Organic Foods’ toddler line had grown its revenue five times (533 percent) between January 2021 and January 2022, and had the distinction of being named e-commerce giant Amazon’s top new release (https://ibn.fm/diCuz). Amara also enjoys a strong retail footprint through big-box retailers that include Walmart, Whole Foods and Sprouts Farmer’s Market, and as of January, nationwide across Canada in Loblaws Inc. Eat Well has an option to acquire additional ownership in Amara up to 80 percent. As of Dec. 21, the company’s officers stated they expected company revenues to reach $60 million by the end of 2021 and that they are forecasting about $100 million in revenue for 2022. Food security has become a growing concern worldwide amid concerns about climate change, and efforts to diversify agribusiness offerings and focus on climate-friendly food sources such as plant-based products have increased (https://ibn.fm/bKIoO).

• LQwD is the first publicly traded Lightning Network company
• In November 2021, LQwD launched its proprietary SaaS lqwd.tech, a Lightning Network software platform to lower transaction fees, more efficient liquidity, and seamless use of the global payments’ infrastructure
• The platform also helps complete transactions with lower wait times
• Since January 21, 2021, the Lightning Network has seen over 100% growth in multiple areas of development

LQwD FinTech (TSX.V: LQWD) (OTCQB: LQWDF), a Bitcoin Lightning Network company focusing on the development of institutional-grade payment infrastructure and solutions, has provided a corporate recap covering major highlights since the acquisition of LQwD took place in June 2021 and the creation of the first publicly traded Lightning Network company (https://ibn.fm/QdSVR). “I wanted to take a moment to recap what has been an active six months for LQwD since listing in June,” LQwD CEO Shone Anstey stated. “The remarkable growth of the Lightning Network has validated LQwD’s reason to be hyper-focused on Lightning, and I look forward to continuing to expand our business on this rapidly growing global payment network.” The Lightning Network is a layer two payment technology and solution for the scaling of Bitcoin for microtransaction around the world. Additionally, the network provides users the ability to complete transactions at a rate of millions per second, lowers fees, and offers instant settlement times. Since January 2021, the Lightning Network has seen node growth of 105% for node establishment from 770 to over 15,000, increased Bitcoin capacity from 1,125 BTC to almost 3,000 BTC – up 160% to September 30, 2021, and a 92% increase in the number of payment channels, totaling more than 73,000 up from the initial 38,000. Here is a look at the accomplishments that LQwD has seen since June 2021:

• June 9, 2021: completed a non-brokered private placement for proceeds of C$5,000,000 (US$3.99 million);
• October 28, 2021: completed an offering of 23,000,000 units for proceeds of C$8,050,000 (US$6.4 million);
• Cumulatively acquired over C$9,000,000 (US$7.19 million) worth of Bitcoin as an operating asset on the Lightning Network, increasing the company’s holdings to around 150 Bitcoin;
• Launched the company’s proprietary software as a service (SaaS) – the multi-pronged Lightning Network software platform (lqwd.tech) allows B2B markets, investors, and others broader access, more efficient liquidity, and seamless use of the global payments’ infrastructure;
• Entered into two strategic service agreements – one with Netcoins, Inc., a leading Canadian crypto trading platform and subsidiary of BIGG Digital Assets Inc., and the other with Breez Development Ltd., an Israeli-based Lightning Network wallet provider;
• Experts in the industry, Joost Jager and Roy Sheinfeld were named as strategic advisors for the company, and Alexandra Moxin was named VP of Product for the company;
• Participated in the Adopting Bitcoin – A Lightning Summit in El Salvador from November 16-18, which brought together industry leaders and experts to discuss the future of money and payments in the Central America region and abroad.

In September 2021, El Salvador was the first country to adopt Bitcoin as its legal tender. The rise of Bitcoin in El Salvador is primarily due to the lack of access to financial institutions. The country adopted a digital wallet app for residents and consumers at this time as well. A supporter of the change, El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele explained that converting the legal tender will also help the population access the billion dollars in remittances that those living outside of their homeland send back each year. As Bitcoin continues to grow in in value and popularity, more people, institutions and companies are looking for dedicated services to help them make purchases and transactions using the cryptocurrency. LQwD expects this trend to continue and that the Lightning Network will be a force for change worldwide and become the global monetary exchange of the future.

• Artist Republik will join Fan Pass Live as a Friendable company, significantly increasing the number of artists on the platform
• The new acquisition will also bring ample technology and other artist services that will benefit the Fan Pass Live artist pool as well
• CEO and Co-Founder Robert Rositano Jr. explained that one of the company’s main goals has always been to test multiple entry points to gain exposure in the music industry for artists and fans alike

Mobile technology and marketing company Friendable (OTC: FDBL) announced the completion of a significant acquisition and business combination between the company’s flagship product, Fan Pass Live, and iconic music distribution company Artist Republik (https://ibn.fm/DXduT). The announcement marks the official closing of the transaction and confirms that Artist Republik is now officially a Friendable company alongside Fan Pass Live. The acquisition comes after approximately one year of talks and negotiations between the two companies to seal a partnership, as Artist Republik was moving toward the development of livestream services and Fan Pass was moving toward its own music distribution offering, Friendable CEO and Co-Founder, Robert A. Rositano Jr. explained. “As our management teams began to engage more frequently, the opportunity arose to combine our two offerings and truly offer a platform and services that would allow Fan Pass to push the boundaries of our offering in the music industry with a shared philosophy of truly putting the artist first. Our services are designed to elevate each artist, garner new fans, build awareness and exposure, and, most of all, build revenue that the artist keeps, rather than paying back debt created by label advances,” Rositano Jr. added. The acquisition will allow Fan Pass Live the opportunity to leverage existing, new, and acquired technology, along with current resources, to further increase historical and ongoing revenue achieved by Artist Republik so far. The acquisition will also solidify the platform’s existing suite of products and services already in place to empower artists (with a focus on independent artists) to gain more control over their music – giving Fan Pass Live an all-inclusive artist offering. “Additionally, the Artist Republik brand has received numerous accolades from trade and industry publications such as Billboard and Forbes magazines, which align perfectly with the press efforts of our current team at Lobeline Communications as they continue to spread the word about our brand to artists and the entertainment trade press in general,” the Friendable CEO added. The new partnership will add approximately 100,000 active music artists and various music distribution services, thus tripling Friendable’s technology assets. Together, Fan Pass Live and Artist Republik will offer a suite of artist-centric services aimed at extending livestream capabilities and virtual performance options. Fans will now be able to enjoy access to a variety of artists across multiple genres, participate in exclusive live events, gain access to behind-the-scenes content, purchase artist-specific merchandise, and more. Artists will also receive more autonomy and freedom over their music, ticketed streams, blog/social promotions, developing their exclusive merchandise, sales, and more. All of this is available to artists without the requirement to give up their musical rights. According to Rositano Jr., Friendable was also able to retain the Artist Republik CEO and CTO as initial consultants after the acquisition, assisting with integration efforts and expanding the service offering. The Friendable CEO underlined that this acquisition aligns with his company’s strategy to test multiple entry points or ‘doors’ that lead artists and fans to discover the Fan Pass Live offering. “Whether they come in through the music distribution door which leads to livestream service consumption or artists coming through the livestream, end up consuming music distribution services, our platform has come full circle,” he said. “We look forward to expanding the Fan Pass Live artist and fan community through this initial acquisition, and we plan to set the stage for additional acquisition opportunities alongside dynamic partnerships that will continue to fuel our growth.” For more information, visit the company’s websites at www.Friendable.com or www.FanPassLive.com.

• 2021 marked the year when FingerMotion invested heavily into its insurtech product and service offering
• It forged partnerships with key players such as Pacific Life, Happy Life Insurance, and Munich Re to further develop innovative insurance business models for its customers
• These investments would see a 48% year-over-year growth in the number of insurtech business deals for the company from 2020
• FingerMotion hopes that these investments, coupled with its strengthened position as a mobile data service provider, will help it to grow its customer numbers to over a billion

FingerMotion (NASDAQ: FNGR), since its inception, has always pushed the envelope with innovation. This commitment has made it a key player in the Chinese market, particularly with its mobile payment and recharge platform solutions. Its tech innovations have also trickled down to the insurtech sector, in which FingerMotion is a critical player. For the 2021 calendar year, FingerMotion stamped its position as an industry leader in the mobile data service sector. Its innovations benefitted hundreds of thousands of users while also laying down the foundation for further expansion to serve over a billion users in China and neighboring regional markets. FingerMotion kicked off the year with the qualification to trade on the OTCQX Best Market, an upgrade from the OTCQB. The move would see the company gain greater access to the capital markets while also offering it an opportunity to be more transparent to institutional investors who rely on the more rigorous review of the company (https://ibn.fm/zGtFv). Even with the OTCQX listing, the insurance sector was one of the primary beneficiaries of FingerMotion’s 2021 growth and expansion plan. At the beginning of the year, the company entered into a services agreement with Pacific Life Re through its big data analytic arm, Sapientus. Pacific Life, a global life reinsurer, would help FingerMotion develop a holistic multi-faceted risk rating concept, allowing it to draw data from novel sources and filter them through advanced algorithms for better service delivery (https://ibn.fm/kB1Of). Later in the year, FingerMotion would collaborate with other enterprises, including Happy Life Insurance and Munich Re, to develop innovative insurance business models powered by data and specifically designed to deliver a suite of digital insurance solutions for consumers. By the end of the year, the company had already achieved a 48% year-over-year growth in the number of insurtech business deals (https://ibn.fm/81SIR). Going into 2022, the company anticipates operationalizing its latest insurtech services. It hopes that this will play an integral role in the further growth of the enterprise and in achieving its objective of serving over a billion users in the region. Additionally, it plans to take advantage of its listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, even as it strengthens its position as a mobile data service provider for the Chinese market. Through outstanding leadership over the 2021 calendar year, FingerMotion has forged integral strategic partnerships with key players in specific industries within China. In addition, the company has also invested a lot into the technology, products, and services that it offers. Combined, these moves have allowed it to position itself as a key player within the mobile data services sector and the Chinese insurtech space. The global insurtech industry is projected to grow by $33.7 billion between 2021 and 2025, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) of 45.28% over the forecast period (https://ibn.fm/patr9). FingerMotion is positioning itself to take advantage of this growth. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.FingerMotion.com.
