BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE: BEV) (OTCQB: BVNNF) (FSE: 7BC) Ideally Situated in Burgeoning Cannabis Beverage Sector

  • EMR report projects that North America is likely to be fastest, largest marketplace for cannabis beverages
  • Cannabis beverage industry projected to grow at CAGR of 48% in the next five years, reaching an anticipated $12.7 billion by 2026
  • BevCanna manufactures its own beverage product lines, offers white-label services to companies looking for the highest-quality products available
North America will be a leader in the global cannabis beverage market, according to a recent Expert Market Research (“EMR”) report (https://ibn.fm/wtV1O). This projection bodes well for BevCanna Enterprises (CSE: BEV) (OTCQB: BVNNF) (FSE: 7BC), a diversified health & wellness beverage and natural products company developing and manufacturing a range of alkaline, plant-based and cannabinoid beverages and supplements for both in-house brands and white-label clients. “North America is likely to be the fastest and largest marketplace for cannabis beverages,” the EMR report stated. “The legalization of cannabis for medical, therapeutic and recreational purposes is driving the growth of the market. In 2018, Canada legalized the utilization of marijuana for recreational and medical purposes. Various states in the U.S. have made the addition of cannabis infusion legal in food and beverages. This factor is predicted to spice up the expansion of the cannabis food and beverage market in North America.” EMR went on to note that worldwide, the cannabis beverage industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 48% in the next five years, reaching an anticipated $12.7 billion by 2026. The report noted that increasing demand for wellness beverages is expected to drive the expansion of the cannabis beverages industry. Other drivers behind the market growth include the lower sugar content of the product, the presence of consistently dosed amount of cannabis for consumption, the legalization of marijuana consumption for medical and recreational purposes in many countries, and the growing consumer interest in cannabis edibles. “Cannabis consumers are shifting their interest from smoking cannabis to other ways, like beverages, tinctures, chocolates, and other edibles,” the report noted. “Consumers are willing to consume concentrated and cannabis-infused products, which successively is anticipated to support the market growth. Cannabis beverages are predicted to exchange other marijuana-infused consumables, like chocolates, cookies, brownies, and confectionaries like gummies and candies which are considered to be not healthy. This factor is predicted to spice up the demand for cannabis drinks over the forecasted period.” Ideally situated in this booming space, BevCanna is in a position to leverage its state-of-the-art facilities and expertise to manufacture its own beverage product lines and to provide white label solutions to a growing list of third-party companies.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) Targets Burgeoning Hypertension, Antiviral Therapeutics Markets with Drug Delivery Technology

  • Lexaria has progressed significantly in evidencing that its patented DehydraTECH(TM) drug delivery technology can sufficiently improve the usable fraction of known antiviral drugs that reach the bloodstream
  • According to a Newsfile Corp. article, this technology can be applied to rendering treatments for HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases more effective
  • The company also released partial results from a human clinical study evaluating DehydraTECH-processed CBD for potential application against hypertension, which evidenced a rapid and sustained drop in blood pressure
  • Growing hypertension and antiviral therapeutics market represent a potential win for Lexaria
In July, Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a drug delivery technology developer, issued several key announcements that, in addition to highlighting the progress made in advancing its patented DehydraTECH(TM) drug delivery technology, form the basis of analysis in a recent Newsfile Corp. article (https://ibn.fm/1BOgg). On July 22, the Kelowna-based global innovator reviewed its successful 2021 antiviral drug program. With diseases caused by viruses, including HIV/AIDS, influenza, and, more recently, COVID-19, having made the demand and need for effective antiviral drugs via oral delivery that are available to all more profound than ever before, Lexaria has made strides. The company has progressed significantly in evidencing that DehydraTECH can sufficiently enhance the usable fraction of known antiviral drugs that reach the bloodstream to safely and more effectively do what they are designed to accomplish. Still, it continues to evaluate the data generated from the program (https://ibn.fm/MQIDe). According to the Newsfile article, the antivirals represent a much broader market for DehydraTECH, especially currently, because in response to COVID-19, they “are having a moment.” Even so, “the same technology can be applied to rendering treatments for AIDS and other infectious diseases more effective. Antihistamines and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as such therapeutics as remdesivir, have all been shown to be enhanced by DehydraTECH in animal studies,” the article notes. Lexaria is likely to benefit from the projected growth in the global antiviral therapeutics market, which is expected to surge to $67.76 billion in 2026 from $51.26 billion in 2020, representing a 4.76% CAGR. Analysts at Mordor Intelligence peg this growth on robust R&D investment in antiviral drugs by public and private companies (https://ibn.fm/NbkIA). Notably, the antiviral program is just one of several others Lexaria is focusing on at present. Another applied R&D program, which also featured prominently in the Newsfile article, is hypertension. On July 29, the company released partial results from a human clinical study, HYPER-H21-1, evaluating DehydraTECH-processed cannabidiol (“CBD”) for potential application against hypertension (https://nnw.fm/9WvGd). (https://cnw.fm/rYTu4). (https://ibn.fm/fmGyE). The study revealed a rapid and sustained drop in blood pressure with DehydraTECH-processed CBD and was most pronounced within the first 10 to 50 minutes of the study. This evidence reinforced the company’s pre-existing findings and further demonstrated that its drug delivery technology offers superior performance over generic CBD controls (https://ibn.fm/eYP1p). “That CBD would be among the first use cases for such a platform as DehydraTECH makes sense,” reads the Newsfile article, “FDA-approved for pediatric seizure purposes since 2018, it has gained a great deal of traction over a short period of time. While its most closely identified delivery vector is hemp cigarettes, these can damage lungs as much as pills can damage livers.” The article further notes that hypertension represents a new market for CBD and a potential huge win for Lexaria. Valued at $27.8 billion in 2018, the antihypertensive drug market is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 2% from 2019 to 2027 (https://ibn.fm/eMoJz). On July 28, Lexaria announced that DehydraTECH is available for sale in more than 7,000 stores across the US, in what CEO Chris Bunka noted was an indication that the delivery technology is enabling increased market share and sales growth for its expanding list of corporate clients (https://ibn.fm/U4ws7). The article also highlights Lexaria’s financial information. “Its balance sheet is clean, but that is in large part due to Lexaria’s ability to raise money on financial markets. Earnings are not what one would hope for, and yet the market cap is roughly 10x assets, suggesting high confidence in management,” it concludes.

InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc. (INND) Poised for Growth as Prevalence of Hearing Loss Could Increase Amid Aging Society

  • Hearing loss affects a considerable number of older adults; one-third of 65-year-olds and half of 75-year-olds suffer from some hearing impairment
  • In an increasingly aging society, this could quickly become a public health problem as it is associated with high societal and healthcare costs
  • INND continues to disrupt hearing healthcare; committed to providing game-changing hearing technology in a potentially growing market for hearing aids
  • InnerScope’s launches its hearing aids on FSAstore.com, HSAstore.com, and WellDeservedHealth.com consumers enrolled in flexible spending accounts (“FSA”), health saving accounts (“HSA”), and employers’ health incentive programs
InnerScope Hearing Technologies (OTC: INND), a hearing health technology company that manufactures, develops, distributes, and sells innovative hearing health-related products, solutions, and treatments, appears poised to enhance the quality of life for around 70 million Americans suffering from hearing-related problems and to contribute to the improvement of their mental and physical well-being. Age-related hearing loss — also called presbycusis — is a common condition in older adults. It is estimated that about one-third of 65-year-olds and half of 75-year-olds suffer from some hearing loss. The condition considerably impacts the quality of life of affected people, hindering their ability to communicate with their environment and function in society (https://ibn.fm/N7eXz). With such a negative impact on their social lives, it comes as no surprise that the disease is linked to a higher incidence of depression, anxiety, and dementia. A National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders study revealed that more than 11% of adults with hearing loss also suffer from depression, compared with only 5% of the general population (https://ibn.fm/LmcgE). Hearing loss also coexists with higher levels of anxiety and is associated with higher rates of dementia, especially when coupled with visual impairment (https://ibn.fm/phr0L). It is also strongly associated with higher cognitive and physical impairment. Given numerous associated health risks, hearing loss burdens affected individuals, their families, and the economy as it leads to higher healthcare costs. In an increasingly aging society, this is becoming a critical public health concern. Despite a high prevalence of hearing loss, only about one-fifth of people who could benefit from a hearing aid seek intervention, and even fewer take advantage of technology that might help them. This means that there is a large population of patients living with unmet healthcare needs (https://ibn.fm/Uv72J). This is where InnerScope can offer solutions that can change the lives of millions of Americans suffering from hearing loss. As a direct-to-consumer manufacturer, distributor, and retailer of FDA-registered Bluetooth app-controlled self-adjusting hearing aids and personal sound amplifiers products, the Company is poised to empower consumers to take control of their hearing care. InnerScope recently launched its hearing aids and related hearing products on FSAstore.comHSAstore.com, and WellDeservedHealth.com for the 70 million consumers enrolled in flexible spending accounts (“FSA”), health saving accounts (“HSA”), and employers’ health incentive programs.  InnerScope partnered with the online retailer and industry leader in the U.S. tax-free healthcare market. Moreover, InnerScope’s hearing aids and related hearing products qualify as eligible products for FSA and HSA users and is the only company on the retailers’ websites to offer hearing aids. The Company is committed to bringing hearing healthcare to customers’ homes by providing top-quality, affordable access to hearing aids without the need to see a hearing professional or go to a hearing care clinic. The Company continues to revolutionize the hearing healthcare landscape despite being in the retail hearing device business for over 70 years. By delivering the same quality of medical-grade hearing technology and the same level of expert support at a fraction of the cost of traditional channels, InnerScope strives to remove barriers to hearing healthcare for millions of people suffering from hearing impairment.

FingerMotion Inc. (FNGR) Shares Progress on the NASDAQ Uplisting Application, Big Data Insights Division, in its August Corporate Update

  • On August 25, FingerMotion held a conference call in which it provided updates on the progress of its Sapientus division, application to uplist to the NASDAQ, and more
  • Hosted by FingerMotion CEO Martin Shen, the corporate update also included a review of the Q1 2022 results, which marked the fourth consecutive quarter of record revenue
  • FingerMotion received its first comment letter from NASDAQ, to which it responded promptly and efficiently
  • The company, in collaboration with its partners, has begun translating products under the Sapientus division into an actual operational pilot
  • FNGR will hold an AGM in November
In July last year, FingerMotion (OTCQX: FNGR) launched Sapientus, its Big Data Insights arm and third operational division, built to deliver data-driven insights and solutions for companies and businesses in the insurance and financial services sectors (https://ibn.fm/fMJF6). Since then, the division has grown in many ways. For instance, it witnessed two consecutive quarters of revenue generation during Q4 2021 and Q1 2022 and quarter-over-quarter revenue growth during the latter reporting period (https://ibn.fm/iPz2A). Additionally, earlier this year, FNGR reported an agreement between Sapientus and Pacific Life Re-Insurance to provide cutting-edge behavioral risk analytics for the insurance company (https://ibn.fm/xSnGM). So, what further progress has the division made since then? In an August 25 conference call, whose recording is available on the company’s website (https://ibn.fm/BnQra), FingerMotion CEO Martin Shen sought to answer this question as part of a corporate update aimed at informing shareholders and the general public about FNGR’s progress thus far and outlook for the future. Included in the August 25 update were the strides the Sapientus division has made, progress on the application to uplist on NASDAQ, a review of the Q1 2022 results, and general announcements. Firstly, Martin discussed the Q1 2022 results for the three months ended May 31, 2021. Pleased with all facets of the business as all facets were growing tremendously, he observed that Q1 2022 represented the company’s fourth consecutive quarter of record revenue, having recorded revenue of $6 million. According to Shen, FingerMotion is optimistic that it will be a profitable business “fairly soon” and has set its sights on higher-margin verticals. Regarding its uplist application to the Nasdaq Capital Market, FNGR focused on “getting it right the first time” by meeting most of the objective criteria and parameters. “To further bolster our own confidence, we received our first comment letter from Nasdaq fairly quickly, meaning we had met most of the parameters in the first place,” Shen added. The company brought in an independent advisory firm, which collaborated with its in-house counsel to issue an efficient, fast response to the comment letter. Shen was, however, quick to caution viewers on the need to keep their optimism in check, given that several other hurdles are yet to be surmounted. Still, he expressed his pride in his team’s work so far, further noting the company’s commitment to promptly and efficiently answering all questions NASDAQ’s examiners send. “The launch of Sapietus marked a significant milestone for our journey because we moved away from being a top-up company to this dynamic technology solution provider and allowed us to expand our company and business into insurance and then the wider financial industry in general,” Shen described Sapientus. He continued, “Our distinctive edge and what we do as Sapientus is our ability to integrate all these publicly available data into these proprietary risk matrices with behavioral indicators derived from event-driven or even contextual-based information.” Shen pointed out that Sapientus, which prioritizes privacy protection, uses advanced algorithms to generate distributional statistics and categorical variables agnostic to individual identity. Crucially, though, the data only contains demographic markers. By providing the desired level of customer understanding through behavioral analytics, Sapientus aims to supply actionable intelligence and facilitate the efficient delivery of services to various players within the insurance industry. Working with partners such as Pacific Life Re-Insurance, FingerMotion has begun translating its Sapientus-based products into an actual operational pilot that benefits the service providers and customers alike. For insurance companies, it will provide value, enhance efficiencies, and lower the cost-of-service delivery. At the same time, it will eliminate existing pain points insurance customers had. Shen also outlined future development plans for the Sapientus division. Lastly, FingerMotion announced its AGM scheduled for November and will provide additional updates on this in due course.
