ISW Holdings (ISWH) Prepared to Lead in Health-Care Revolution with New TeleCare Solution

  • ISWH’s growing home-health division ideally positioned in industry looking for change.
  • Paradigm Home Health focused on delivering health care in changing, increasingly aging community.
  • TeleCare is revolutionary technology solution designed to summon medical assistance with the push of a button.

In what some are calling the “health-care revolution,” health-care companies and providers as well as patients are looking for solutions to a complicated, cumbersome health-care process. Innovative companies in that space, such as ISW Holdings (OTC: ISWH), a brand-management portfolio company with a growing home health division, may leverage their already-strong positions in the industry to become leaders in the movement for change.

The basic gist of the revolution, observes a recent “BioPharma Journal” article (http://ibn.fm/jTs7N), is that “healthcare is not affordable for society. We try universal healthcare systems and find that quality is definitely linked to the process. Some folks try to claim this isn’t the case, but the reality should be clear: if you put more people on the same plan, the amount that can be spent on each person decreases. . . . Something needs to change in these places, especially as more and more people age into larger healthcare needs.

“One solution expected to play a part is home healthcare,” the article continued. “In the past, we have gone to hospitals and stayed there for quick access to doctors and specialized expertise and equipment. But, as telehealth and portability become more technologically possible in more places, much of that same care can happen at home. This simple shift of expanding the physical realm in play massively reduces the costs of care and makes it far more possible for something approaching high-quality universally accessible healthcare to become a reality.”

ISWH sees the potential for this to happen and is actively involved in the process. Paradigm Home Health (PHH), ISW Holding’s home health division, is focused on delivering health care in a changing and increasingly aging community. PHH aims to lead the emerging changes by offering quality services rooted in emerging technologies. An example of the company’s ability to do just that is its TeleCare service.

“This is a new technology solution we are preparing to launch as part of our home healthcare service,” said ISWH president and chairman Alonzo Pierce (http://ibn.fm/EVRkH). “TeleCare is a revolutionary technology solution designed to provide home-health patients with a simple, one-button wearable device to quickly and easily summon a visiting nurse, home-health provider, or 24/7 nurse-assist hot line anytime medical assistance is urgently needed.”

The technology works like a nurse-call button in a hospital, explained Pierce. “Our research suggests this will create tremendous additional value and enhance our clients’ lives by helping them to maintain the greatest possible level of independent existence while still having access to the supportive care they need,” Pierce said.

PHH is also developing specialized technology and tools to support health-care services outside of the bounds of specialized facilities by focusing on home-care facilities. These efforts will help shift the burden of patient care from hospitals and clinics and also streamline specific parts of the health-care process to enhance service and product distribution.

Based in Nevada, ISW Holdings is a diversified portfolio company comprised of essential business lines that serve consumer product demands. The company’s expertise lies in strategic brand development and early-growth facilitation, as well as brand identity through its proprietary procurement process. Together with its partners, ISWH seeks to provide a structure that meets large scalability demands as well as anticipated marketplace needs. ISWH maneuvers its proprietary companies through critical stages of market development, which includes conceptualization, go-to-market strategies, engineering, product integration and distribution efficiency.

Net Element Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) Full Speed into Electric Vehicle Market Via Merger with Mullen Technologies

  • NETE transforming into pure-play electric vehicles company through merger with Mullen Technologies
  • Reverse merger will allow Mullen stakeholders to acquire majority of newly formed company, accelerating process of Mullen going public
  • EV sales growing at 25% per year on average, expected to account for over 20% of sales by 2030

Electric vehicle (“EV”) sales in the U.S. have been growing by an average of 25% per year (http://ibn.fm/Uy6ss) – stellar results when compared to the dismal 1.76% drop experienced by the entire industry in 2019 (http://ibn.fm/tIyK3). In a bold move aimed at maximizing shareholder value, Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) recently announced its plans to divest itself of its payments processing business model and enter into the EV industry by executing a definitive merger agreement with Mullen Technologies Inc., a Southern California-based EV company. With seven retail locations in California and one in Arizona, Mullen plans to expand its operations in the U.S. following the merger by opening a manufacturing plant in West Plains, Washington and launching a luxury sports car – the Dragonfly K50 – in the first half of 2021 (http://ibn.fm/1Irsm).

Through the reverse merger, NETE plans to transform itself into a pure-play electric vehicle company, allowing the stakeholders of Mullen, a privately held company, to acquire a majority of the new stock, accelerate the process of taking Mullen public, and catalyze its operations in the United States.

“We feel, after considering an array of strategic alternatives, that the agreement with Mullen provides our shareholders with the most compelling opportunity,” said Net Element chairman and CEO Oleg Firer (http://ibn.fm/1bgrR). “We conducted an extensive search of companies that have disruptive technologies and believe that Mullen represents the best path forward.

“COVID-19 has created a unique set of challenges for our payment processing business, as many of our payment processing customers are located in the Northeast, which has been hit especially hard by the coronavirus. We expect that the merger with Mullen will create a new path forward that should reward our long-time shareholders.”

Electric vehicles are expected to exceed 20% of annual vehicle sales by 2030 (http://ibn.fm/pTbje) yet currently account for only 2% of sales at present, indicating that market penetration has barely started. The falling prices of EV batteries, changes in fuel regulations and electric vehicle mandates in countries like China are contributing to market shifts favoring EVs across all markets worldwide. Besides expectations that EVs will account for almost half (48%) of all passenger car sales in China by 2025, they are also expected to dominate municipal bus sales by 81%, commercial vehicle sales at 56%, and 31% of the medium commercial market, according to a report by BloombergNEF (http://ibn.fm/u22TJ).

Current and future projections for the EV market have prompted a deluge of investor interest in the space, evidenced by the superior share price performance of electric vehicle manufacturers when compared to their more conventional counterparts (http://ibn.fm/SZrNA). Through its merger with Mullen Technologies, Net Element expects to join other institutional investors in gaining early access to the rapidly growing EV market where revenue growth and earnings potential appear to be extremely promising.

Kingman Minerals Ltd. (TSX.V: KGS) Leverages Market Trends as Gold Prices Increase More than 27%

  • “New York Times” article reports gold reaching record highs
  • Buying gold is “best thing” investors can do to shield themselves from inflation, weakening of so-called fiat, or paper, currencies
  • KGS strategic business model designed to deliver the highest benefit possible as prices of precious metals, including gold, increases

As investors look for stability in a precarious financial world, they are turning more often to gold, pushing gold prices up to record levels not seen since 2011. Kingman Minerals (TSX.V: KGS), a Canada-based company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold and silver properties in North America, is in a strong position to leverage these market trends to create significant value for its shareholders.

“In recent days, gold prices have hit record highs,” reported a recent “New York Times” article (http://ibn.fm/h81b5). “For the year, gold is up 27 percent, a performance that puts it ahead of most stock, bond and commodity markets. . . . Right now, investors are . . .  determining that buying gold — which is traditionally considered an investment that holds its value over time — is the best thing they can do to shield themselves from inflation and weakening of so-called fiat, or paper, currencies. As a result, money flows into gold investments have surged in recent months as central banks have stepped up their fight against the downturn.”

The article notes that the COVID-19 pandemic has fueled one of the sharpest downturns in the global economy on record, with some experts predicting that the world economy will shrink by 5%. Consequently, the Federal Reserve, along with other central banks worldwide, have turned to creating fresh currency in an attempt to support the weakening economy.

“The increase in money supply lowers interest rates and raises the amount of a particular currency, such as the dollar, in circulation,” the article noted. “And over time, these moves can both increase inflation (lower interest rates typically spur economic activity) and weaken the value of a currency.”

As a result, gold becomes a more attractive — and stable — investment, a situation that Kingman Minerals is positioned to make the most of. The company’s strategic business model is designed to deliver the highest benefit possible to its shareholders as the prices of precious metals, including gold, increase. In addition, the company is focused on expanding its footprint through the acquisition of new potential exploration targets. KGS’s unique business model outlines careful and deliberate participation in the exploration and expansion success of the historical mines and prospects underlying its current agreements.

Kingman Minerals Ltd. is currently engaged in the business of precious metal mineral exploration for the purpose of acquiring and advancing non-grass-roots mineral properties located in mining friendly jurisdictions of North America. Formerly known as Astorius Resources Ltd., KGS is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold and silver properties in North America. Based in Canada, KGS is committed to sourcing and developing high-quality properties with significant mining potential as part of its strategy of developing a diverse portfolio of low-cost, lifelong assets.

The Movie Studio Inc. (MVES) Sees New Avenues for Monetization as OTT Platforms Attract Advertisers

  • OTT media sector has benefitted from recent COVID lockdown, with subscriber numbers on video-on-demand (“VOD”) platforms rising by 196% YoY in April 2020
  • With surfeit of VOD platforms leading to constrained pricing power, platforms have resorted to advertising as tool to further monetize media content
  • The Movie Studio has long distinguished itself through innovative measures designed to drive subscriber numbers on its VOD platform – such as its MovieSodes feature
  • With advertising growth within OTT platforms, The Movie Studio could potentially introduce new revenue steam to its business model

The over-the-top media (“OTT”) sector, which encompasses audio, video and other media content delivered over the Internet, has witnessed an astonishing surge in popularity over recent months. A recent study carried out by Adobe, which delved into the over 6.6 billion hours of video content viewed on OTT, desktop and mobile phone platforms in the US between January 2018 and July 2020, found that OTT viewing surged by as much as 196% in April 2020 (http://ibn.fm/G4kkj), with viewers opting to stream videos at a record pace during the lockdown. The Movie Studio (OTC: MVES), an independent movie studio boasting a proprietary OTT platform, is a key beneficiary from the trend. However, despite their evident popularity, OTT platforms still present a plethora of untapped potential for both, advertisers as well as platform owners seeking to generate new revenue streams.

For years, pioneers such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube and their ilk dominated the OTT media space; however, a spate of new platform launches in 2019 and 2020 – including the likes of Apple Plus, Disney Plus, HBO Max and NBC Universal’s Peacock have resulted in a veritable glut of platform choices for viewers seeking to consume video content. The sharp increase in competition has translated into pricing pressure across the various platforms – a survey by PC Magazine in late 2019 found that 65% of respondents would consider cancelling their subscriptions in response to price increases (http://ibn.fm/Lw3eL). As a result, subscription video on demand (“SVOD”) platforms have been obliged to seek alternative revenue streams to cover ever-increasing content costs.

Platforms have progressively begun to experiment with innovative formats through which to show ads. For instance, over the past year, Hulu has introduced the concept of ‘pause’ ads, with advertisements appearing on screen when a viewer presses pause while streaming content (http://ibn.fm/G8Xcg). Meanwhile, the likes of Amazon have looked into monetizing their actual media content. TV shows like ‘Making the Cut’ now allow viewers to purchase the designer products displayed during the show directly on Amazon Prime once the show has aired (http://ibn.fm/Xcf28).

The Movie Studio has long distinguished itself through the introduction of a series of innovative measures designed to boost the popularity of their eponymous OTT platform, such as the MovieSodes feature – which enables the platform’s subscribers to upload virtual auditions of themselves for potential casting consideration in the company’s upcoming film productions. Nonetheless, the advertising model which is currently being experimented on competing platforms provides The Movie Studio with a potentially innovative and lucrative way of driving further monetization of their online video content and grow their revenues going forward.

SRAX Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX) Reports Stellar 2Q2020 Results, Expects Accelerating Growth in 2020

  • SRAX Inc. reported its 2Q2020 results on August 17, 2020
  • Company reported revenues of $1.1 million, up 29% YoY with EBITDA rising by 35% YoY
  • SRAX has been diligently implementing cost-savings measures, with operating cost reduction of 21% QoQ and 39% YoY
  • Company has sought to bolster balance sheet, closing convertible debt offering of $16.1 million during quarter
  • SRAX announced its acquisition of nearly $5 million in bookings across Sequire, BIGtoken platforms over the first six weeks of third quarter

SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX), a digital marketing pioneer focused on providing consumer data management services, recently reported its results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2020. Despite a largely tumultuous quarter marked with widespread lockdowns amidst the COVID-19 virus, SRAX reported revenues up 29% year-over-year accompanied by a significant expansion in gross margins, driving quarterly EBITDA up 35% year-over-year (http://ibn.fm/6l8wW). The results were a testament to SRAX’s diversified product portfolio, as extraordinary performance by the company’s investor intelligence platform, Sequire was matched by strong growth witnessed within its BIGtoken platform.

In addition to SRAX’s robust revenue and earnings growth, the company has continued making strides in lowering its overall expense profile, which saw operating expenses decline by 21% relative to the same period last year. SRAX has also worked towards bolstering its balance sheet strength by recently announcing the close of a $16.1 million convertible debt offering, putting the company in a strong cash position to accommodate future growth.

Sequire, SRAX’s SAAS investor intelligence platform, was only rebranded as such towards the end of the first quarter but has already garnered great popularity – with over 1 million investors and traders currently on its platform. Separately, the Company also revealed that Sequire had now seen 91 publicly listed companies subscribe to its platform, a remarkable 54% increase relative to the number of corporate subscribers at the end of 2019 – an explosion of growth largely driven by Sequire’s extensive range of services.

The Company’s management illustrated the platform’s potential by outlining one example, where a single corporate subscriber using Sequire has seen their number of individual shareholders skyrocket—from 3,000 to over 360,000 during their tenure on the platform. The trend has now led the Sequire SAAS platform to record six consecutive quarters of growth.

“The growth we experienced this last quarter and through today has been the fastest growth we have encountered as a public company. For the past six weeks we have closed close to $1M per week in business, mostly driven by our Sequire platform,” said SRAX CEO and founder Christopher Miglino. “Public issuers are seeing the benefits of the platform, and our data teams are gaining significant insights from that growth. Sequire now has over 1 million investors and traders, a significant portion of which are from the Robinhood platform.”

The positive growth within the Sequire business has been mirrored by SRAX’s BIGtoken platform, which has seen a number of advertisers sign up to gain access to the verified consumer insights provided by BIGtoken’s over 16.7 million users. SRAX revealed that they witnessed the likes of lottery.com, Singapore’s GroupM and consumer product giant Procter & Gamble sign up as clients over the course of the quarter with corporate advertisers increasingly looking to gain access to verified consumer data, which in turn could help them better reach and serve their audiences.

Impressively, the positive trend seems to have carried on, as Miglino revealed that the company had booked close to $5 million in sales between BIGtoken and Sequire over the first six weeks of the third quarter – a huge outperformance given that the company had earlier forecast $3 million in sales for the entire quarter, a target exceeded over the month of July alone.

Kingman Minerals (TSX.V: KGS) Secures Key Asset Within Canada’s Most Prolific Gold Mining Zone

  • Kingman Minerals’ assets include both the Mohave Project as well as Quebec, Canada-based Cadillac East Property
  • Cadillac East Property is situated within Abitibi Greenstone Belt, Canada’s most prolific gold mining zone and home to region’s largest open-pit gold mine, Canadian Malartic Mine
  • In 2014, junior mining company that discovered Canadian Malartic Mine in 2011 went on to sell its interests in asset for gross consideration of $3.9 billion
  • Though Kingman Minerals’ near-term potential lays firmly within confines of the Arizona-based Mohave Project, its interest within the Cadillac East project should not be disregarded

Kingman Minerals (TSX.V: KGS), a Canada-listed gold miner with extensive claims in key mining jurisdictions spanning the North American continent, has featured prominently in recent weeks due to its extensive mining interests within the Music Mountains in Mohave County, Arizona – a territory encompassing 72 lode claims and spanning nearly 1,500 acres. However, Kingman Minerals has recently sought to expand its geological footprint across the North American continent, acquiring the mining interests within the Cadillac East property, a stretch of land totaling 691.07 hectares and encircling 12 claims within its boundaries (http://ibn.fm/ITm3U).

The Cadillac East Property is situated approximately 55 kilometers east of the city of Val d’Or in the Province of Quebec and 500 kilometers north-west of the city of Montreal. Located within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, the Cadillac East property is positioned within one of Canada’s most prolific mining zones which has seen exploration activity take place dating back to the 1940’s. Today, the Abitibi Greenstone Belt and the Val d’Or region play host to the Canadian Malartic gold mine, the largest open-pit gold mine in Canada with total deposits estimated at close to 10 million ounces of gold (http://ibn.fm/jJi6z).

Located only a few kilometers away from Kingman Minerals’ Cadillac East property, the Malartic mine possesses the ability to process over 57,000 tons of ore a day and produced a total of 662,918 ounces of gold and over 800,000 ounces of silver in 2019 alone. Notably, to illustrate the potential monetization of such mining sites – while the Canadian Malartic mine is currently jointly-owned and operated by Agnico East and Yamana Gold, it was originally discovered in 2011 by Osisko Mining Corporation – a then-junior mining company which went on to sell its mining asset to its current owners for a total consideration of $3.9 billion in 2014 (http://ibn.fm/Gl90h).

In 2017, exploration work carried out by Exploration Facilitation Unlimited Inc. within the boundaries of the Cadillac East property identified a number of potential targets for further investigation. Initial findings from the exploration program found gold values ranging from 1 to 59 parts per billion (“ppb”) and silver values ranging from 0.15 to 5.2 parts per million (“ppm”), where any concentration of gold above 4 ppb is considered to be anomalous and deemed worthy of further exploration.

Despite the promising results found during the initial exploration of the Cadillac East site, Kingman Minerals has opted to prioritize its ongoing drill campaign aimed towards confirming the viable ore deposits within its Arizona-based Mohave Project, which is expected to be delivered in the near future.  The Mohave site was previously studied in 1985 by L.A. Bayrock Ph.D P.Geo (“Bayrock) on behalf of Stellar Resource Corp. Although the study was carried out prior to the current NI 43-101 regulations coming into force, Stellar Resource’s report at the time suggested that the mine’s potential assets could amount to as much as 664,000 ounces of gold and 2,600,000 ounces of silver (http://ibn.fm/JB7FN).

With gold prices rising above the historic $2,000/oz threshold in August 2020, Kingman Minerals is well positioned to capitalize upon the favorable gold environment. While it is currently working on producing its NI 43-101 compliant report on the proven and probable gold reserves contained within its Mohave Project site, its yet untouched Cadillac East property should not be overlooked for its potential.

Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE), a global financial technology and value-added solutions group, has signed a definitive merger agreement with Mullen Technologies Inc. The agreement outlines a stock-for-stock reverse merger plan resulting in Mullen, a privately held electric vehicle company, and its stockholders owning a majority of the outstanding stock in the post-merger company (http://ibn.fm/5LwBp).

“We are excited to move forward with the proposed merger with Mullen Technologies,” said Net Element executive chairman Oleg Firer. “We are confident that this transaction will increase shareholder value in the long term.”

The details of the newly inked merger agreement call for Net Element’s wholly owned, newly formed subsidiary to acquire all outstanding shares of Mullen. Once the merger is complete, Net Element shareholders will own 15% and Mullen shareholders will own 85% of the issued and outstanding shares of the combined company. The agreement also dictates that Net Element has the right to acquire up to an additional 6.7% of the combined company dependent on the amount of loans from Net Element to Mullen prior to closing.

In addition, the agreement notes that, just prior to the completion of the merger, Net Element will divest itself of its payments-processing business and portfolio, pending approval of the company’s stockholders. The completion of the merger itself is also subject to shareholder and NASDAQ approval, as well as other conditions outlined in the agreement.

Based in Southern California, Mullen Technologies is a licensed electric vehicle company with international distribution that operates in a variety of businesses focused on the automotive industry, including Mullen Automotive, Mullen Energy, Mullen Auto Sales, Mullen Funding Corp. and CarHub.

“Our team at Mullen Technologies is very proud to take the next step in completing this acquisition of Net Element,” said Mullen founder and CEO David Michery. “Mullen is dedicated to the development of environmentally friendly, affordable technology that will bring energy solutions to consumer products and communities in the near future. This acquisition provides the resources that Mullen can utilize to execute on its business model to integrate state-of-the-art, clean-battery technology into personal and commercial vehicles, and eventually sustainable, reusable battery technology into everyday consumer products.”

The Movie Studio Inc. (MVES) Business Model, Indie Film Approach Sets It Apart from Others in Film Production, Distribution

  • Company’s commercial VOD technology designed to provide increasing revenues
  • MVES’s direct-server access platform offers variety of entertainment for worldwide distribution
  • The Movie Studio has expertise, reputation to be both leader, pioneer in VOD space

In a dynamic and growing industry, The Movie Studio (OTC: MVES), a vertically integrated motion picture production and distribution company, differentiates itself from other providers of streamed content in a variety of ways, including a commercial video on demand (“VOD”) technology that offers efficiency and is designed to provide increasing overall revenues for all parties involved in the motion picture production and distribution channels (http://ibn.fm/kLmlH).

Committed to its slogan — ‘Changing the way the world views movies’ — The Movie Studio and its distinctive business model breaks away from the traditional physical copy distribution format of files, eliminating piracy, revenue loss from copying and video manipulation. The company’s strategic plan includes motion picture aggregation and distribution intended to create a direct server access platform offering its both its own and aggregated feature film, television programming and other media to “geo-fractured” territories for worldwide distribution.

MVES has also created a platform designed to eliminate the theft of content and grow income potential for everyone involved in the production and distribution of its content. In addition, the company looks for other ways to distinguish itself in the space, including managing its own in-house marketing and distribution department.

With a four-decade legacy and tradition — the company was founded in 1961 and is the only major independent studio based in Florida — The Movie Studio has the expertise and reputation to be both a leader and a pioneer in the VOD and other related spaces. The company was the first to create a first mover digital disruptor focused on the independent motion picture content sector and is intent on changing the way independent motion pictures are made and distributed.

Part of that plan involves developing, manufacturing, and distributing its own motion picture content for worldwide consumption. The Movie Studio uses a variety of high-definition cameras, including the RED camera used in filming parts of the blockbuster “Jurassic World” and other major Hollywood movies. The company’s unique production plans involve filming its projects in 10 “chapters” and then editing those chapters together to create a completed film. These chapters, or moviesodes, are released via The Movie Studio’s own app, which is available in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. This unique approach creates a stickiness to the app as well as recurring revenue for the company and all involved in production.

The company currently has three films in production: “Cause and Effect,” a Miami street movie about the seedy underbelly of South Florida nightlife; “The Last Warhead,” an adventure film where fantasy meets reality; and “PEGASUS,” a family movie about a young girl and a horse which MVES plan to make its “signature” film.

The Movie Studio is a vertically integrated, motion-picture production and distribution company engaged in the acquisition, development, production and distribution of independent motion-picture content for worldwide consumption, with a particular focus on video on demand (“VOD”), foreign sales and various media devices.

ISW Holdings (ISWH) Impressive Streak of Financial Numbers Rooted in Telehealth, Crypto Performance

  • ISWH is “ramping up” with compelling ties to both crypto and telehealth, as well as yearlong strong financials
  • Company’s Q2 2020 numbers report sales up 79%, set to double 2019 revenues
  • Recent article notes that ISWH is in the “driver’s seat”

ISW Holdings (OTC: ISWH), a brand-management portfolio company, is “doing good by doing well right now,” reports a recent “Journal Transcript” article (http://ibn.fm/AxMav). The article notes that ISWH is “a company ramping up with a tie-in of crypto and telehealth that is extremely compelling, especially given its strong run of financial performance over the past year.”

In ISW Holdings’ most recent financial report — its Q2 2020 numbers — the company announced that sales were up 79% and that numbers were on pace to double 2019 revenues (http://ibn.fm/9neEp). In addition, the company is developing a new TeleCare telehealth solution for integration into its Paradigm Home Healthcare (“PPH”) division and has signed a new joint venture agreement with Bit5ive LLC to deliver its 1 MW cryptocurrency mining turnkey solution to a major Pennsylvania mining facility.

“To say that ISWH may be undervalued seems like an understatement fit for a contest,” the “Journal Transcript” article stated. “The company has regularly posted sequential quarterly top-line growth numbers in the double-digit space. And, based on its most recent press release, this streak is set to continue. . . .  ISW Holdings just reported that it anticipates continued improvement and sequential quarterly revenue growth when performance data for quarter-ended June 30 are disclosed this month.”

The company’s growth comes primarily from its involvement in two spaces: telehealth and crypto mining. The company’s most recent success can be tied to its strong movement forward by PPH. “Make no mistake about it, home healthcare is the future of healthcare,” noted the “Journal Transcript” article. “The revolution has been brewing for years. Healthcare is too expensive, and technology now allows us to accomplish terrific healthcare without being hooked up to machines in a hospital bed 24/7 anymore. We can manage this with more finesse and ingenuity at this point.”

In the crypto world, ISWH has completed design-stage work on its 1MW Proceso S19 Pod5ive Data Center designed for shipment to the 100-megawatt Pennsylvania cryptocurrency mining project as part of its joint venture with Bit5ive LLC.

“That puts ISWH in the drivers’ seat as the crypto cycle takes flight once again,” the article notes. “Bitcoin has taken flight in the past few weeks along with gold and silver as the U.S. dollar has dumped into the gutter on a number of factors, including poor management of the virus as well as a ton of fresh signals on money supply growth via the Fed and the U.S. Congress.”

Based in Nevada, ISW Holdings is a diversified portfolio company comprised of essential business lines that serve consumer product demands. The company’s expertise lies in strategic brand development and early-growth facilitation, as well as brand identity through its proprietary procurement process. Together with its partners, ISWH seeks to provide a structure that meets large scalability demands as well as anticipated marketplace needs. ISWH maneuvers its proprietary companies through critical stages of market development, which includes conceptualization, go-to-market strategies, engineering, product integration and distribution efficiency.

Cybin Corp. Ideally Positioned as Landmark Decision Regarding Psilocybin Therapy Could Spark Increased Interest, Use

  • Canada’s Minister of Health approves the use of psilocybin therapy in end-of-life care of four Canadians battling incurable cancer
  • The Decision marks first legal, medical exemptions for psilocybin use in Canada since the compound became illegal in 1974
  • Cybin subsidiary Serenity Life Sciences focuses on advancing R&D of psilocybin-based pharmaceutical products

A ground-breaking decision by Canada’s Minister of Health, the Honourable Patty Hajdu, to approve the use of psilocybin therapy in the end-of-life treatment of four Canadians battling incurable cancer (http://ibn.fm/0BUOU) bodes well for companies such as Cybin Corp., which are operating in the psilocybin sector. An exemplary Canada-based, life-sciences company, Cybin focuses on developing pharmaceutical-grade psilocybin products. Therefore, the company appears ideally positioned to leverage this milestone moment.

The four applicants received the first known legal, medical exemptions for psilocybin use in Canada since the compound became illegal in the country in 1974.

“I want to thank the Health Minister and Health Canada for approving my request for psilocybin use,” said Laurie Brooks, one of the applicants. “The acknowledgment of the pain and anxiety that I have been suffering with means a lot to me, and I am feeling quite emotional . . . as a result. I hope this is just the beginning and that soon all Canadians will be able to access psilocybin, for therapeutic use, to help with the pain they are experiencing, without having to petition the government for months to gain permission.”

Application for exemptions were made with the assistance of TheraPsil, a nonprofit coalition that advocates for legal, compassionate access to psilocybin therapy for Canadians in palliative care. In the press release following the announcement of the approval, TheraPsil noted that it is “anticipated that there will now be many more applications made through the exemption process provided under the Canadian Drugs and Substances Act.”

Cybin is keenly interested in this decision, as well as the subsequent anticipated increased interest in psilocybin therapy. The company, which operates in the functional-mushroom market, intends to develop fungi-derived medicinal products, via Serenity Life Sciences. The wholly owned subsidiary focuses on advancing research and development of psilocybin-based pharmaceutical products.

“This is a watershed moment for the patients involved who deserve the right to manage their health challenges with dignity,” said Cybin co-founder Paul Glavine (http://ibn.fm/Jtrkp). “Everyone at Cybin applauds the efforts of TheraPsil and these brave individuals, and we thank the Minister of Health for her foresight.”

Former Ontario Health Minister and Cybin advisor Dr. Eric Hoskins praised Hajdu’s approval. “I am pleased to see this important step towards considering psilocybin as a natural compound with a growing body of experience of therapeutic uses for patients in need, rather than strictly a prohibited substance. I joined Cybin because of their dedication to patients who need and benefit from psilocybin-assisted therapy,” he said.

“This landmark recognition of the benefits of psilocybin is tremendous validation for our sector,” said Cybin Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jukka Karjalainen, who also noted that Cybin is proud to applaud TheraPsil’s efforts. Cybin is currently focusing on developing a psilocybin oral film delivery system that will potentially alleviate the burden of pill consumption for seniors and patients in palliative care, who often have difficulty swallowing.
