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.

DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO) Beats Street Q2 Revenue Estimates by 20% and Reveals Late Stage, Virtual Healthcare, B2B2C Sales Pipeline

  • DarioHealth Corp. reported its second quarter financial results Aug. 12, showing a revenue increase on a quarter-to-quarter basis, as well as gross profit increases of 95 percent and 60 percent on year-over-year quarterly and six-month measures, respectively
  • CEO Erez Raphael recently appeared on Fox Business news forum “The Claman Countdown” to discuss the company’s health and the state of the telemedicine industry amid reports of high-value M&A activity
  • Telemedicine has gained significant popularity as a means of maintaining health standards while reducing or eliminating the risk of virus transmission during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic
  • U.S. President Donald Trump recently signed measures designed to make emergency authorization for insurance reimbursements for telehealth services more permanent beyond the duration of the pandemic, and many private insurers are beginning to follow suit
  • DarioHealth has gained market attention as it has racked up successes in advancing its remote health monitoring platform for diabetes and hypertension patients where it is commercially available in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia after clearing regulatory hurdles
  • The company announced its first two remote patient monitoring agreements in North America in June, followed by an agreement covering the United Kingdom and Ireland in July
The innovative energy driving the health technology company DarioHealth (NASDAQ: DRIO) has generated a series of successes for the small-cap company, and DarioHealth is anticipating additional developments in the coming weeks that may help the company continue to grow and mature, according to CEO Erez Raphael in the company’s just-released Q2 financial statement. “The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated our ongoing transformation to a business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) digital therapeutics leader,” Raphael stated in the Aug. 12 statement (http://ibn.fm/clts7). “We advanced late-stage discussions with health plans and self-insured employers, who we believe recognize how our industry-leading user engagement and satisfaction metrics lead to improved health for their member and employee populations. … We believe that we are poised to announce new and potentially transformational agreements in the next few weeks.” DarioHealth recorded a 7.2 percent sequential increase in revenues from the first to second quarter and a 95 percent year-over-year increase in quarterly gross profit due principally to an increase in membership revenues and a decrease in product costs during the second quarter, according to the financial report. On a six-month reporting measure, the company saw revenues decrease 11.3 percent year-over-year as part of its transformation from a direct-to-consumer operation, but gross profits increased by 60 percent as a result of the same processes, resulting in $1.4 million in added profits for the first half of 2020. Fox Business news forum “The Claman Countdown” recognized DarioHealth’s growing success in an Aug. 7 segment that featured Raphael’s perspective about M&A activity within the telemedicine sector and DarioHealth’s strong trending in the marketplace at the time (http://ibn.fm/hWIOl). “We are in a very, very special period of time when we see a huge transformation of the space,” Raphael told interviewer Liz Claman. Raphael added that DarioHealth has been “part of the digital health and digital therapeutics (sector) for the last 10 years and we have been there for a long time building very smart technologies, and I can tell you the last five months are big in terms of the transformation that we feel. A lot of bills that we were trying to get for a lot of fields of science, we feel we are getting there and this is a very good signal from the White House that understands the importance of virtualization of the health care industry.” DarioHealth’s CEO was responding to news that U.S. President Donald Trump had signed an executive order directing Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) officials to make some emergency telehealth regulatory reforms permanent so that they will remain in place even beyond the pandemic, although keeping some other emergency measures in place, such as enabling patients to get coverage for telehealth visits at home, will require Congressional approval (http://ibn.fm/0RdQa). The use of telemedicine services has surged during the COVID-19 pandemic as patients and medical providers have worked to maintain standard of health services through remote, virtual platforms to minimize the risk of spreading infection. Medicare’s fee-for-service telehealth claims rose from 13,000 per week before the pandemic to nearly 1.7 million by the end of April, and claims to private insurers have grown 4,347 percent year-over-year (http://ibn.fm/UbzRt). Trump’s executive action also directed the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) to begin a payment program designed to make government healthcare program reimbursements more consistent to rural community hospitals as they demonstrate quality care, and directed the Departments of Agriculture (“USDA”), HHS and the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) to form a task force designed to improve broadband infrastructure in rural communities for telehealth providers. “Today I’m taking action to ensure telehealth is here to stay,” Trump said in announcing the orders. DarioHealth’s CEO noted that insurance companies in the private sector are also moving to adopt such measures, building a framework by which telehealth services can be recognized as vital and quality-focused so that providers and patients may utilize technological tools under a rubric that authorizes reimbursements. DarioHealth’s Remote Patient Monitoring (“RPM”) digital therapeutics platform transmits patient information to physicians and also delivers occasional “nudges” to patients when its automated programming recognizes a need (http://ibn.fm/aH4UZ). The RPM is specifically designed for diabetes and hypertension patients, with the potential for monitoring and helping to manage a wide array of chronic conditions in the future. The company’s blood glucose monitoring system has U.S Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance and has similarly been approved by European, Canadian and Australian regulatory agencies that have allowed it to become commercially available in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland, Germany, Italy, and Australia while continuing to expand into new geographic markets and to support additional chronic conditions.

Pure Extract Technologies Inc. Focused on Becoming Dominant Extraction Company, Poised for Rapid Growth in Expanding Mushroom Market

  • Vast potential of mushroom medicine market is hindered by lack of pharma-grade extracts preventing brands from seizing this market opportunity
  • Traditional extract producers limited by low-volume, non-scalable manufacturing methods
  • Pure Extracts equipped to produce urgently needed pharma-grade psilocybin

Pure Extracts, a Canadian plant-based extraction company operating in the functional medicinal mushrooms space, is in a unique position to become the dominant extraction company and a leader in the rapid development and commercialization of functional medicine products. With its substantial experience and technical competence in plant extraction creating a distinctive competitive advantage, Pure Extracts is focused on becoming a critical partner with companies developing powerful mushroom products.

As a growing body of research substantiates that psilocybin offers benefits in the treatment of depression, PTSD, anxiety, bi-polar, drug and alcohol addiction, obesity, narcolepsy, OCD, Alzheimer’s and ADHD, an increasing number of companies are looking into expanding into this space to develop products to treat these conditions (http://ibn.fm/oxiSy). However, those companies lack the high purity psilocybin compounds required for the requisite clinical trials and research needed to harness the power of this global market.

Few companies in the extraction space can deliver on this urgent need. Most providers in the space are unable to develop pharmaceutical-grade compounds because their manufacturing methods are low volume and non-scalable. This has created a significant gap in the market and presents a tremendous growth opportunity for companies designed to seize it. This is where Pure Extracts steps in.

Pure Extracts provides high-grade extracts for functional mushroom products such as tinctures and soft gels with the plan to roll out beverage formulations, nasal and oral sprays, as well as psilocybin extracts by H1 2021 H1 2021 (http://ibn.fm/Jxe5m). Determined to leverage the momentum of the psychedelic and functional mushroom industries as one of the fastest-growing sectors in North America, Pure Extracts represents a unique value proposition in this expanding sector that requires extraction for product development.

With its proven expertise and EU Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) designed facility for licensed extraction, Pure Extracts offers a clear competitive advantage. In a space where product purity is equal to product quality, the Company employs the most technologically advanced equipment required for full-spectrum CO2 extraction, a novel process for extracting the essence of the source material where the gas helps to extract oils of high-grade purity from the biomass. As the first of its kind, Pure Extracts is a nationally recognized brand that leverages five years of volatile plant molecule extraction experience and expertise in creating a number of successful CPG products with proven processes for delivering superior extracts.

Pure Extracts has ambitious plans to leverage its competitive advantage beyond North America and place itself as an extraction manufacturer of choice for functional and psychedelic medicine companies across the world. The company plans to apply for a Dealer’s License with Health Canada, which will enable it to produce extracts of the highest quality for clinical trials in an EU GMP environment, fueling its overseas expansion.

In addition, Pure Extracts’ location within the highly regarded Canadian regulatory framework allows for easy export from Canada to destinations across the world. This enables the Company to position itself as a natural international partner for psychedelic and functional product companies looking for pharmaceutical-grade psilocybin for their clinical trials and research.

“Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, we are seeing an increase in hotel stays during July and as a result our hospitality division is having its best revenue month since we opened our doors,” said InsuraGuest CEO and Chairman, Douglas Anderson. “Our hotel members are creating safer environments for their guest’s visits, and they are seeing first-hand the value InsuraGuest brings by inserting our Hospitality Liability coverages as a layer of protection when a guest experiences an accident or theft. This allows the hotel to lower their risk ratio, lower their claim ratio, and remove their Med-Pay, thus helping them save money on their current General Liability policy.”

In July, the company partnered with Hostfully, a provider of end-to-end vacation rental property management software. InsuraGuest Hospitality Liability coverage can now be purchased by Hostfully’s client base of more than 2,500 vacation rental property managers.

With over $57 billion in rental revenue in 2019 and a growth rate of 6.9%, the industry continues its growth as more and more people each year take advantage of the variety of benefits that vacations rentals offer (http://ibn.fm/SyPYv).

Europe’s hospitality market is more than double the market size in the United States, indicating room for significant growth potential in serving hotel and vacation rental guests with InsuraGuest’s insurance platform.

Cybin Corp. Enters Feasibility Agreement to Develop Fast-Acting Psilocybin Film

  • Agreement with leading drug-delivery company outlines plans to develop fast-acting, orally dissolving film for delivery of pharmaceutical-grade psilocybin
  • Cybin CEO notes that systemic bioavailability of film is projected to be high
  • Cybin focused on developing fungi-derived psychedelic, medicinal products to treat mental illness, other health conditions
Cybin Corp. announced that it has entered into a feasibility agreement with IntelGenx Corp., a leading drug-delivery company focused on the development and manufacturing of pharmaceutical delivery films (http://ibn.fm/TZeVy). The agreement outlines plans for the two companies to develop a fast-acting, orally dissolving film for the delivery of pharmaceutical-grade psilocybin. “We at Cybin are proud to be working with IntelGenx to develop a fast-acting psilocybin film,” said Cybin’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Jukka Karjalainen. “Compared to oral psilocybin capsules, which are subject to variable intestinal absorption and high first-pass metabolism in the liver, the systemic bioavailability of orally-dissolving psilocybin film is expected to be quite high. In addition, the dose of psilocybin administered by an orally dissolving film is expected to be a fraction of what is required in oral capsules. Taken together, these features have the potential to increase both the safety and efficacy of psilocybin when administered in this manner.” Subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, the agreement allows both companies to capitalize on their strengths while partnering with a recognized expert in the space. Cybin is a mushroom life-sciences company focused on offering psychedelic and nutraceutical-based products. IntelGenx is recognized for its superior film technologies, including VersaFilm(R) and VetaFilm(TM), as well as its transdermal development and manufacturing capabilities. “Cybin’s intention with an orally dissolving psilocybin film is to bypass the digestive system, which will provide faster-acting relief for individuals with anxiety disorders who require more immediate symptom relief,” noted Cybin CEO Paul Glavine. According to IntelGenx CEO Dr. Horst G. Zerbe, the partnership “exemplifies both the versatility and clinical advantages of our VersaFilm(R) technology platform. In addition to offering patients a convenient method of administration, our technology offers superior drug bioavailability, which decreases both the amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient required per dose, as well as time to onset of action, which are paramount when treating distressing conditions such as anxiety. We are looking forward to working with Cybin to realize these potential benefits for patients struggling with mental health disorders.” Cybin operates in the functional-mushroom market with a goal to develop fungi-derived medicinal products to treat mental illness and other health conditions. The business model of this early-stage, life-sciences company includes two wholly owned core subsidiaries: Serenity Life Sciences, focusing on advancing research and development of psilocybin-based pharmaceutical products, and Natures Journey Inc., developing medicinal nonpsychedelic nutraceutical products.

Pac Roots Cannabis Corp. (CSE: PACR) Prepares to Close Massive Land Deal with Extensive Development Possibilities

  • Pac Roots expecting to close deal in September for acquisition of several parcels of land with no zoning restrictions, located in prestigious Fraser Valley
  • Company’s new indoor facility and 100-acre Hemp JV project in Rock Creek, B.C., with preliminary results suggesting successful fall harvest, make this ideal time to acquire land in Fraser Valley
  • Future development of elite CBD and THC strains and company’s overall hemp and cannabis infrastructure have tremendous potential thanks to company’s strategic genetic licensing partner, Phenome One

The Fraser Valley Regional District is one of the most productive and intensively farmed areas of Canada, with high-quality soil, favorable climate, water, and a local market of 2.5 million people. Agriculture in this region yields an annual economic value of more than $3 billion.

Pac Roots Cannabis (CSE: PACR) and its shareholders will own and control 250 acres of this land thanks to a share purchase agreement that was initiated in July with 1088070 BC. LTD. In accordance with the agreement, Pac Roots will soon acquire all issued and outstanding shares of 1088 (http://ibn.fm/jLI4u).

Following a 51-day due diligence period, the closing date for the transaction is scheduled for September 4, 2020. According to Pac Roots President and CEO Patrick Elliott, the addition of such a significant parcel of land is highly promising for the company.

“This land has no zoning restrictions and is not situated within the agricultural land reserve, which provides for infinite development possibilities,” Elliott stated. “The addition of such a substantial package of land to our portfolio is a major step for Pac Roots. We are pleased to have the opportunity to add significant acreage with an acquisitional cost base of $9,600 per acre.”

The Fraser Valley region of British Columbia is widely known as an agricultural and industrial hub for the province. The region generates the most significant annual farm income of any regional district in British Columbia. Despite rapid population growth in the region, agriculture has flourished and remains an essential part of the region’s economy.

The closing of this deal will be another addition to a significant pipeline of development projects for Pac Roots. A new indoor facility in the late stages of permitting and a 60% interest in a 100-acre Hemp JV project in Rock Creek, B.C. make this the ideal time to acquire the land in Fraser Valley.

Pac Roots is in the process of completing its 20,000 square foot cultivation facility in Lake Country, British Columbia. The facility is expected to feature approximately 7,600 square feet of cultivation space that will enable the company to cycle through an elite line of high-grade cultivars.

A joint venture between Pac Roots and Rock Creek Farms enabled the planting of premium CBD hemp seedlings in a 100-acre growing space located in the famous “Golden Mile,” with preliminary results suggesting a successful harvest in fall 2020 (http://ibn.fm/brN9P).

“Between the Fraser Valley and Rock Creek, B.C., which both rank at the top of the charts for outdoor agricultural producing regions in the Country, Pac Roots is extremely well positioned for production and future development of hemp and cannabis infrastructure,” said Chad Clelland, a member of the company’s Board of Directors. “We are both privileged and proud to be involved in these exciting programs, which will undoubtedly add accretive value to our company and to our shareholders.”

Pac Roots is also well positioned for production and the future development of its hemp and cannabis infrastructure through its strategic genetic licensing partner, Phenome One.

Phenome One provides access to a large genetic library of suitable cultivars for the west coast outdoor climate which have been field tested over the past three years. This program has showcased some of the elite CBD and THC strains that thrive in the wetter, milder outdoor conditions. The strains generate unexpectedly high yields while demonstrating environmental resiliency.

According to Elliott, the lack of superior cannabis genetics, expertise and growing conditions have been plaguing the industry in producing a premium product for the market. With the partnership with Phenome One and the access to their extensive genetic library, Pac Roots is extremely well positioned to deliver the best in industry quality and throughput to the consumers with a pipeline of scalable development properties in the portfolio, he added.

  • With mobile app, companies can monitor behaviors, contributions of investors anytime and anywhere
  • Since its release, Sequire has surpassed 500,000 active investors and traders, sales have exceeded $2.5 million

In a world transformed by a worldwide epidemic, companies that offer flexible services and options that support new ways of doing business appear to be ideally positioned for success. With Sequire, SRAX Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX) has honed in on precisely what today’s public businesses are looking for. The proprietary investor intelligence and communications platform provides an intuitive, virtual method for companies to monitor retail and institutional investors as well as activate media campaigns to engage existing investors while attracting new ones — and the newest additions to the platform illustrate how effective SRAX is at adapting to a world that is moving online.

Originally available as a computer app, Sequire is now also available as a mobile app and can be downloaded for free on the App Store and Google Play (http://ibn.fm/gwBNW), allowing SRAX clients to enjoy all the benefits of the entire platform regardless of where they are. With Sequire, businesses can unlock stock buyers’ behaviors and trends; manage and monitor return on investment from investor relations programs and corporate communications firms; and engage current and potential stock buyers at their trading desks, investor events or at home on both desktop or mobile.

“We are thrilled to launch the Sequire mobile app enabling our clients to now monitor their investors’ behaviors and their contributions anytime and anywhere,” said SRAX CEO and founder Christopher Miglino. “We’ll also be launching more exciting mobile features in the next few months, so stay tuned.”

Clear evidence of SRAX’s ability to recognize what today’s market demands is the success of the platform. Since its release, Sequire has surpassed 500,000 active investors and traders while sales have exceeded $2.5 million in Q2 2020 (http://ibn.fm/5RIyk), In addition, the addition of Sequire’s relatively new Virtual Roadshow, which allows companies to host one-on-one or one-to-many video and audio meetings (http://ibn.fm/jnQSx), shows how nimble and relevant the company can be.

“The ecosystem for investor events will be changed forever after the current environment,” said Miglino. “Investors and issuers will no longer need to meet in person. New technologies are providing the tools that issuers need to meet with current and prospective investors. The organizers of these events are the cornerstone of the industry and our system will allow for them to create their own events on the platform and profit from letting issuers invite investors from proprietary lists to the issuers roadshows. Video is the future of investor communication, and we are thrilled to add this feature to the platform.”
