Holding company Clean Power Capital (NEO: MOVE) (FWB: 2K6A) (OTC: MOTNF) charted a new course amid last year’s pandemic-depressed months, turning its stated mission to the renewable energy sector as an area of investment focus and placing special emphasis on its majority equity-owned investee PowerTap Hydrogen Fueling Corp. On Monday, March 15, the company held its Annual General and Special Meeting at which shareholders approved the company’s amended and restated investment policy.
Following the meeting, Clean Power CEO Joel Dumaresq stepped down from his position with the company but will continue to function as Clean Power’s chief financial officer on an interim basis. Raghunath (Raghu) Kilambi, the CEO and CFO of PowerTap Hydrogen, was named the new CEO and president of Clean Power in Dumaresq’s place (https://ibn.fm/IscOe). Kilambi continues to function as PowerTap’s CEO as well.
PowerTap has seen the strength of its platform rise under Kilambi’s leadership in recent months, particularly through agreements that have brought the powerhouse Andretti Group into partnership with the company for fuel station sites, marketing and board leadership (https://ibn.fm/65EHI).
Kilambi has over 25 years of global business experience in public and private investments, building businesses and creating shareholder value. He has raised more than $1 billion of equity and debt capital for private and public companies in the United States and Canada, and has been involved in many M&A acquisitions and exits. His experience with investments in emerging technologies will be an asset for Clean Power as it continues to seek additional investment opportunities under its new mission statement.
That investment policy specifically states the company will focus on renewable energy, which may include, without limitation, hydrogen & fuel cell technologies, wind power, solar power and geothermal power; and bio-medical, pharmaceutical, and naturopathic sectors, which may include medical or recreational cannabis.
Clean Power has also announced a pair of decisions to advance its investment profile among the public. The company entered into an investor relations advisory services agreement on March 10 with 1830012 Ontario Limited, operating as Circadian Group to create a customized positive investment image and communicate that image to the investment community. In addition, the company retained Mountain Capital Corp. on March 8 to provide strategic digital media services, as well as marketing and data analytics services, for a three-month period, according to the annual meeting news release.
PowerTap also announced development of its advisory board through the appointment of David Bray, former corporate officer/general manager of Shell Oil Products US. Bray’s company, Bray Retail Consulting, LLC will also join PowerTap in a consulting role under an exclusive one-year assignment.
The consultancy will focus on critical product development and services to accelerate the deployment of PowerTap’s proprietary modular 1,250 kg hydrogen production and dispensing technology as part of a planned hydrogen fueling station network launching in California with the Andretti Group’s assistance. The company will then use Andretti’s connections to build the network into other parts of the country.
Bray is a seasoned Shell executive whose more than 30 years in the industry included serving as the general manager of several groups at Shell, including Strategy/Business Development, Fuels and Marketing, and Americas Aviation.
“Regarding hydrogen, we are at the starting line in terms of the growth opportunity for its use as a transportation fuel. I believe that hydrogen will play a critical role in meeting the energy needs of the Americas going forward,” he stated.

The global electric commercial vehicle market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 41.1% from 2020 to 2028, reaching a little over 2 million units in sales on the back of advancements in battery technology, electrification of public transportation fleets and stricter government regulations on pollution, per a Research and Markets forecast (https://ibn.fm/AZ0TM).
Similarly, a 2020 Deloitte article (https://ibn.fm/UAh8f) noted that the removal of two of the biggest barriers for consumers, namely driving range and the lack of charging infrastructure over the next few years, portends good tidings for the electric vehicle (“EV”) industry. The article further observed that the proliferation of commercial EVs (lorries, trucks and vans) and mass transit vehicles (buses) would instill even more confidence in consumers as to the reliability of EVs, influencing them to purchase the other types of EVs.
Based on these predictions, Ideanomics (NASDAQ: IDEX) is positioned favorably, given its Ideanomics Mobility division is focused on the EV market. This division comprises over five companies, including Medici Motor Works, which operates in the electric commercial vehicle segment, offering zero-emission trucks, vans and buses. Others are Mobile Energy Global (“MEG”), Wireless Advanced Vehicle Electrification (“WAVE”), Treeletrik, Energica, Solectrac and Silk EV.
“2020 was the year for passenger EV… But 2021 is the year that the commercial (‘EVs’) start to become mainstream; this is when companies like Ideanomics and others are going to shine,” stated Ideanomics CEO Alf Poor in a presentation at the 23rd Annual Needham Growth Conference (https://ibn.fm/H74nP) earlier this year. Alf went on to quote Bloomberg New Energy Finance (“BNEF”), which estimates that global commercial EV sales will reach 1.2 million units in 2023.
Ideanomics, which wholly owns Medici Motor Works, is set to capitalize on this expected growth in demand, which is projected to remain consistent through 2040, per BNEF’s long-term electric vehicle outlook. By 2040, EVs will account for 67% of all public buses and 24% of all light commercial vehicles. At the same time, Ideanomics’ Treeletrik and Energica subsidiaries, manufacturers of two-wheelers, will also benefit as 47% of all motorbikes sold in 2040 will be electric (https://ibn.fm/VXfmf).
The future also holds great promise for IDEX’s second division, Ideanomics Capital, which focuses on providing disruptive fintech solutions covering a broad range of financial services. The division is made up of five companies: Timios, DBOT, Liquefy, Intelligenta and Technology Metals Market (“TM2”). In his presentation, Alf singled out Timios, praising its data-driven approach to closing more property refinancing and purchasing within the broader real estate sector.
But, why Timios? What has made real estate stand out? The housing market is currently “in a frenzy like no other since the 2008 crisis”, occasioned by higher demand for housing than there is supply (https://ibn.fm/eXDbm). The pandemic is credited for this phenomenon because some companies relocated at the height of the outbreak, causing surges in demand for housing in certain cities. Further, the work-from-home policy encouraged employees to upgrade their homes, either through renovations or by purchasing new homes, with the latter contributing to the surge in demand (https://ibn.fm/Q6can).
Remarkably, in his presentation, Alf had foreseen this imminent vibrancy of the housing market, which, as he had observed, would greatly favor Timios. “Companies like Timios can make a lot of money. These guys made $3 million EBITDA in December alone. So, we’re going to expect big things from them,” Alf added. Over the coming period, Ideanomics plans to inject more capital into Timios to help it grow more efficiently.

Approximately 50% of patients who suffer from non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer will relapse. Even with the rates of local recurrence after definitive therapy improving, research indicates that management of the disease remains a challenge. Urothelial carcinoma, the most common type of bladder cancer, continues to exhibit high rates of recurrence (https://ibn.fm/4HXcP).
The primary treatment for recurrence focuses on cytology, stage, and clinical characteristics. A particular area of interest is identification and causes/predictors of urothelial carcinoma recurrence. Differentiating management of recurrent carcinoma from treatment of primary carcinoma has generated limited progress, but the research indicates that organ-conserving and endoscopic therapies may be effective, especially by identifying patients who are facing a higher risk of early recurrence.
This is where technologies such as Imagin Medical’s (CSE: IME) (OTCQB: IMEXF) i/Blue Imaging System(TM) may prove effective by enhancing tumor visualization and resection, and potentially lowering recurrence rates as a result.
Focused on establishing a new standard of care in the visualization of cancer during minimally invasive procedures, Imagin Medical’s primary focus is bladder cancer, the sixth most prevalent cancer in the U.S. and the third most common on men. Due to its high recurrence rate, patients who have had bladder cancer require years of follow-up testing and procedures to catch recurrence early, making it one of the most expensive cancers to treat (https://ibn.fm/tus7H).
The conventional method used to visualize bladder cancer during surgical procedures is called a cystoscopy. Cystoscopies allow medical providers to see inside the bladder using a thin, lighted, flexible tube called a cystoscope, which uses white light to illuminate the area. White light has been the standard of care for decades and is used by more than 90% of the cystoscopy procedures. While white light effectively shows the landscape of the bladder, it is not effective in visualizing all cancerous tissue that may be present in the bladder, only tumors that protrude above the surface.
Since 2010, the use of blue light paired with a reactive contrast agent during cystoscopies has been expanding as a promising new visualization method that highlights cancerous cells, including margins and flat tumors along the bladder wall. The problem with using blue light during cystoscopies is that the images are not in real time, requiring surgeons to switch back and forth, during the intervention, between the real-time white light image and the blue light image that highlights the cancer.
Imagin’s i/Blue Imaging System aims to address these shortcomings. Combining the effectiveness of blue light cystoscopy with proprietary technology, the i/Blue Imaging System will improve surgical technique by displaying both white and blue light images simultaneously side-by-side in real time on one monitor. This innovation will enable the surgeon to view cancerous cells and their margins in context for more complete removal eliminate the need to switch back and forth to resect the cancer.
Imagin is currently moving toward commercialization of its technology, with the Food and Drug Administration approval process underway. The company is working with Maine-based Lighthouse Imaging, an FDA registered and ISO 13485:2016 certified manufacturer, to finalize the system design for manufacture. The product is on track for completion in 2022 (https://ibn.fm/TKiU1).
Once the goal of changing bladder cancer visualization has been realized, Imagin will build on the i/Blue Imaging System’s technology to facilitate other minimally invasive procedures, including laparoscopic, colorectal, and thoracic that use a variety of contrast dye agents and illumination sources. Imagin is working to improve upon past technology, create better patient outcomes, and incur fewer costs in the process.

RYAH Group (CSE: RYAH) (formerly known as Prime Blockchain Inc.) has announced the release of its “April 2021 Patients Patterns in New York Report,” covering data generated by 4,387 patients from New York who logged their sessions within the RYAH Data ecosystem between January 1, 2018, and April 15, 2021 (https://ibn.fm/ScF8T). As an authority within the dose-control technology for plant-based medicine, RYAH leverages access to a wealth of data helping open up new knowledge-enabled possibilities within the health industry. The newly published report is the latest such initiative — especially invaluable since the recent legislative approval of recreational cannabis in March 2021.
Home to one of the wealthiest cities in the world, New York state accounts for 8% of US GDP. It is expected to become one of the largest US plant markets, with recreational cannabis sales potentially reaching $1.2 billion by 2023 and up to $4.2 billion by 2027. With these market expectations, it is of critical importance to understand who a New York-based patient is, what their preferences are, and what medical conditions they use cannabis for.
As a data analytics health care company collecting anonymized data generated by patients, RYAH is ideally placed to answer these questions. The Company is committed to developing cutting-edge technology to generate powerful analytics by combining dosing data with lab test information and patient feedback to create a personalized self-optimizing experience.
The report gives invaluable insights into the New York medical cannabis space, comparing it to the national average. It reveals that these patients are more likely to be male (65.5%) than patients at the national level (54.8%) while they have slightly less experience with the plant and use it less frequently. For example, 7% of patients from New York use it daily, compared to the national average of 8.4%. On the other hand, and in line with national averages, New York patients prefer cultivars with higher THC content or a CBD-rich profile. More sessions from New York-based patients were logged on the RYAH platform for anxiety, social anxiety disorder, and ADHD than patients from other parts of the country. RYAH Data ecosystem also reveals that conditions such as stress and depression are more prevalent in New York patients.
After launching in a limited capacity in 2016, New York State’s medical cannabis program served more than 143,000 patients. In March 2021, the state approved the legislation covering recreational cannabis, becoming the 15th state to legalize recreational use (https://ibn.fm/rFWL5). Several amendments are introduced to improve access to medical cannabis, covering a wide range of qualifying conditions, including cancer, HIV, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease, neuropathy, Huntington’s disease, PSTD and chronic pain. As a go-to provider of data analytics expertise for the plant-based medical industry, RYAH appears ideally placed to capitalize on the growing market opportunity as New York positions itself to become one of the nation’s largest markets of legal cannabis and the plant-based legislation continues to evolve nationwide.

A series of recent analyst reports bodes well for Cybin (NEO: CYBN) (OTCQB: CLXPF), a leading biotech company focused on progressing psychedelic therapeutics. April reports from Canaccord Genuity equity research company, Stifel GMP (https://ibn.fm/aQ9af) and Roth Capital Partners (https://ibn.fm/YkBNb) all categorize Cybin as a buy, with Stifel increasing its price target from $5 to $11, Roth noting a $10 per share price target, and Canaccord coming in at $8.
In its report increasing Cybin’s price target, Stifel noted that “CYBN is a true multi-molecule company that’s not being reflected in its valuation.” The report further observed, “CYBN has been progressing rapidly along its path of developing a pipeline of novel psychedelic molecules, transforming the company from a single molecule strategy to a more diversified one with stronger IP opportunities.”
The report noted that the company’s proprietary CYB003, a novel 2nd-generation tryptamine, has undergone proof-of-concept studies and that the company is targeting alcohol use disorder, a relapsing disease with high unmet needs, a large addressable market and low competition. “We believe CYBN’s shares have a direct pathway for over ~3.5x upside near term as neither its primary candidate nor its first novel candidate — expected to enter clinical trials in 2021 — is fully accounted for in its valuation, offering investors with an attractive entry point,” the analysis concluded.
As a basis for initiating coverage of Cybin, the Roth analysis reported the following: “Overlooked by the pharmaceutical industry, Cybin found, in our opinion, ingenious ways to improve potency and delivery of psychedelic drugs by reformulation and by exploring deuterated analogues. Along the way the company created novel intellectual property to fend off competition.
“According to a recent study by Imperial College London, psilocybin may actually be superior to an SSRI [selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor], escitalopram, in patients suffering from major depressive disorder,” the report continued. “However, each psilocybin treatment session may last 6-8 hours, when administered orally. Cybin’s sublingual formulation bypasses the stomach, as the drug enters the bloodstream through the oral mucosa for faster onset of action. . . . TRD (treatment resistant depression) impacts over 1% of the population, unfortunately. With a relatively small 5% penetration, Cybin could achieve ~$8B in sales in the U.S. and EU5 combined, according to our calculation.”
In its report, Canaccord noted that an academic group from Imperial College London published long-awaited results from its Psilodep-RCT study in the “New England Journal of Medicine.” The study analyzed the treatment of patients with long-standing, moderate-to-severe major depressive disorder (“MDD”) over a six-week period.
“The results did not hit on the primary endpoint but were in favor of psilocybin on the primary and every secondary outcome measure,” the analysis noted. “We view the results from this relatively small trial as encouraging for the potential use of psilocybin in the depression setting. We also believe the results support the investigation of psilocybin in larger, multi-center trials, which CYBN eventually expects to pursue.”
An earlier Canaccord Genuity report noted that Cybin is using a proprietary drug discovery platform combined with novel delivery and formulation technologies to develop innovative psychedelic therapeutics to treat psychiatric disorders. After hosting several investor meetings with Cybin executives, Canaccord reported that “investor focus was on the upcoming Phase 2 program for [Cybin’s] lead product, CYB001, which is a sublingual film formulation of psilocybin to treat major depressive disorder (“MDD”). CYBN expects to start a Phase 2a trial in Jamaica (West Indies). The company then expects to file an investigational drug (“IND”) application and start a Phase 2b trial, which will include US sites, soon after.” Observing that “all eyes are on the Phase 2a data,” Canaccord called CYB001 a near-term catalyst for CYBN.
Canaccord also reported that investors are focused on the evolving intellectual property (“IP”) situation around psilocybin and that CYBN intends to uplist to a major US exchange shortly. “So we note this is a very interesting period for CYBN both as a company and as a stock, and we are reiterating our BUY rating,” the report concluded.
Cybin Corp., a leading biotech company focused on progressing psychedelic therapeutics, is on a mission to revolutionize mental health care. The company is focused on progressing psychedelic therapeutics by utilizing proprietary drug- discovery platforms, innovative drug-delivery systems, novel formulation approaches and treatment regimens for psychiatric disorders.
