• Restaurants services are facing growing pressure for efficiency, which can be accomplished by the integration of robotics into daily performance
• Nightfood Holdings has acquired Future Hospitality Ventures Holdings, an emerging leader in Robots-as-a-Service for restaurants, subsequently appointing Sonny Wang as CEO of NGTF to lead expansion and growth

Nightfood Holdings (OTCQB: NGTF), a previously under-the-radar holding company focused on acquisitions in the hospitality, food service, and CPG sectors, has announced a two-pronged strategic move. This initiative targets both the operational efficiency of the hospitality sector and the growing consumer demand for sleep-focused wellness products. While seemingly disparate on the surface, a closer examination reveals a potentially synergistic approach with the potential to unlock significant shareholder value.

The recent acquisition of Future Hospitality Ventures Holdings, Inc., a California-based robotics company focused on Robots-as-a-Service (“RaaS”), positions Nightfood at the forefront of automation solutions for the food service industry. This move comes at a critical time, as rising minimum wages put pressure on operational costs. Nightfood believes Future Hospitality’s AI-powered robots can deliver improved efficiencies, cost savings, and enhanced customer experiences. The “plug-and-play” nature of these solutions makes them attractive for a wide range of food service establishments, including multi-location restaurants, hotels, health care facilities, school cafeterias and other food service operations.

“There are exponential benefits for customers with a portfolio of locations, which is the market segment we are initially targeting,” said Sonny Wang, the newly appointed CEO of Nightfood.

Under the leadership of Wang, Future Hospitality successfully secured valuable distribution agreements with industry leading manufacturers United Robotics Group and Botin Innovation. Other distribution agreements are reportedly in the hopper, according to Wang in a letter filed with the SEC.

Nightfood’s namesake subsidiary, Nightfood, Inc., is focused on a unique, yet surprisingly large, niche within the CPG market: sleep-friendly snacks. The recent direct-to-consumer launch of their sleep-friendly cookies has shown early promise, and management sees significant potential for revenue growth in the latter half of 2024. This taps into a new market trend of functional food options that prioritizes sleep health.

Industry research firm IRI estimates the U.S. snack market at $150+ billion, with nearly half of the market deriving from evening/bedtime snacking. Nightfood’s cookies don’t contain sleep aids, just lower levels of sugar and calories, with higher levels of protein and key vitamins (plus, they’re gluten-free).

Nightfood is actively pursuing additional acquisitions of operating companies in related fields with existing revenue streams. These details are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. This multi-pronged approach suggests Nightfood is aiming for rapid growth by combining robotics technology for operational efficiency with a consumer-focused brand catering to a specific health trend.

Nightfood Holdings exhibits a strong commitment to leveraging their subsidiaries to drive innovation and make a significant impact in the food service industry. With a clear vision and robust execution, NGTF stands ready to reshape their sectors, offering not only delicious and nutritious alternatives, but productivity within the food service. This strategy presents a compelling mix of long-term growth prospects and near-term revenue potential. Investors should closely monitor the details of upcoming acquisitions and Nightfood’s progress in both verticals.

• SOBRsafe recently signed hardware/software agreements with Lighthouse Recovery Resources and Mountain House Recovery, both operating in the U.S. behavioral health segment
• The two new agreements bring the number of new accounts secured in 2024 to 20, compared to three accounts booked in all of 2023
• The company is targeting the behavioral health and justice segments, which mandate the use of alcohol testing
• According to SOBRsafe’s CEO, while businesses and services in the behavioral health and justice segments already use different alcohol testing technologies, they are hungry for evolved solutions
• SOBRsafe offers SOBRcheck(TM) and SOBRsure, designed to instantaneously detect and report the presence of alcohol as emitted through the skin

SOBRsafe (NASDAQ: SOBR) provides next-generation transdermal alcohol detection technology, which simplifies the alcohol detection process. The proprietary technology combines an NIAAA-awarded gas sensor with proprietary algorithms to capture alcohol vapor emitted through pores, detecting alcohol 2-3x faster than other transdermal solutions with accuracy that approaches 99% at heavy consumption levels (https://ibn.fm/371c7). The technology can be found in the company’s suite of products: SOBRcheck(TM), a high-volume passive alcohol screening solution for stationary use, and SOBRsure(TM), a wearable wristband that provides continuous, mobile alcohol monitoring.

Guided by its stated vision to become the global standard for alcohol screening and monitoring, SOBRsafe aims to offer its products primarily to the behavioral health and justice segments, which promise high adoption rates. According to the company, the decision to focus on these markets hinges on the fact that businesses and service providers in these sectors already use different alcohol testing technologies, with testing mandated. “It’s not a want; it’s a need. These sectors already use alcohol detection products as a matter of standard procedure, but are hungry for evolved monitoring and screening solutions,” said SOBRsafe Chairman and CEO Dave Gandini in a recent video update (https://ibn.fm/L9isT).

The need for better alcohol monitoring solutions has pushed businesses and service providers toward SOBRsafe, with the company signing multiple agreements with an ever-growing number of partners keen on adopting its next-generation solutions. So far, in 2024, the company has secured 20 new accounts, compared to three accounts booked in all of 2023. Most recently, SOBRsafe announced the signing of hardware/software agreements with Lighthouse Recovery Resources and Mountain House Recovery, both operating in the behavioral health market (https://ibn.fm/jgdfJ).

Based in Carbondale, Colorado, Lighthouse provides individuals and families with the resources and support they need to achieve lasting recovery. Its services include interventions, sober companions, and care management. Lighthouse has purchased an initial 10 SOBRsure wristbands to monitor high-risk patients round the clock and actively intercept alcohol use. It believes the wristband empowers accelerated intervention compared to breathalyzers and other traditional testing methods.

For its part, Mountain House Recovery, a Flagstaff, Arizona-based provider of a post-treatment launching pad where men in early recovery can forge lasting friendships and embark on a transformative journey to sobriety, is integrating SOBRsafe’s SOBRcheck in its residential facility to replace breathalyzers. Mountain House believes SOBRcheck’s transdermal alcohol detection mechanism provides a more humane and less stigmatizing testing approach. In addition, the service provider also views SOBRcheck as a cost-reduction measure, as it enables 24/7 unmanned alcohol testing at check-in and check-out, eliminating an administrative expense.

In the video update, Dave Gandini captured the exact concerns of its new partners, saying, “Traditional detection methods using breath, blood or urine tests have a host of drawbacks, including being invasive, inefficient, and unhygienic – and often degrading. Plus, breathalyzer-type devices have a limited life and are often inaccurate and subject to breaking down and their output is typically analog and requires a staff member to write results down and hopefully log them accurately into a patient’s records.”

In contrast, SOBRcheck and SOBRsure accurately detect the presence of alcohol as emitted through the skin and do not require the user to provide a breath, blood, or urine sample. Each device is independently connected to SOBRsafe’s powerful backend data platform, which facilitates instantaneous reporting, real-time data management, and predictive analytics. Together, SOBRsafe’s next-generation solutions help create a culture of prevention and support.

• SuperCom Ltd. has developed its PureSecurity Suite of products as an end-to-end electronic monitoring (“EM”) solution to meet the needs of correctional facilities and law enforcement agencies, providing them with the tools they need to manage offenders effectively, prevent domestic violence, and ensure public safety
• A study published earlier this year in the Journal of Public Economics provided a basis for measuring the benefits of EM programs, not only showing reduced recidivism and prison costs, but also increased worker productivity and children’s educational performance
• The study on Sweden’s nationwide EM alternative for low-level criminal offenses showed the probability of being re-arrested within three years after trial dropped, and suggests that the annual earnings of children whose parents are placed on EM will increase as they reach adulthood
• SuperCom recently reported its quarterly financial results, noting growth in its revenues, EBITDA, and operating income for record profitability

As societies worldwide grapple with curtailing criminal behavior, they might well take inspiration from a study of Sweden’s electronic monitoring (“EM”) program providing a remote, automated alternative to incarceration for the lowest tier of criminal offenses (non-violent crimes resulting in imprisonment up to three months).

Select court jurisdictions in the United States have embraced EM as a potential means of reducing prison costs and recidivism (repeat offenses). Meanwhile, a study conducted by a team of French and Swedish researchers, and published earlier this year in the Journal of Public Economics, not only confirms the fiscal benefits of EM programs but also reveals positive impacts on the labor market and offenders’ families. Notably, it highlights improvements in children’s educational performance.

“Our findings indicate that the reform resulted in several positive outcomes. Specifically, it significantly reduced the probability of being re-arrested within three years after the trial by 4.7 percent and lowered the three-year re-conviction rate by about 2.2 percent,” the report on the study states (https://ibn.fm/r1XOR).

“(‘EM’) also improved labor market outcomes, with the likelihood of being employed within three years after the trial increasing by 13.1 percent and average earnings rising by 22.1 percent,” the report continues. “Notably, these improvements are sustained beyond the first year after the trial, suggesting that the benefits of EM may have a lasting impact.”

Recent research underscores even stronger reductions in recidivism. In Argentina, EM reduced the one-year recidivism rate by up to 48% (Di Tella and Schargrodsky, 2013). In Australia, EM decreased the two-year recidivism rate by approximately 28% (Williams and Weatherburn, 2020). In France, EM reduced the likelihood of re-offending within five years by about 10% (Henneguelle et al., 2016).

These findings highlight EM’s role in fostering rehabilitation and economic stability, offering a powerful alternative to traditional incarceration.

SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) is a company specializing in EM security solutions that is helping to promote the benefits of such alternative programs for its criminal justice system clients in the United States and European countries such as Sweden, Croatia, Finland, and Romania.

“The substantial growth in our gross profit reflects the inherent quality and high-margin potential of our key projects and our successful progression through different stages of these projects,” SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi stated following publication of the company’s first quarter financial results last month, which included emphasis that SuperCom’s EBITDA grew by 400 percent YOY as a measure of the company’s profitability (https://ibn.fm/XcsCH).

SuperCom has developed its PureSecurity Suite of products as an end-to-end electronic monitoring solution that uses state-of-the-art GPS tracking in real time, secured communication, and other monitoring technologies.

The technology helps courts in administering house arrest, probation monitoring, and domestic violence prevention. Additionally, it has been applied to a broad range of tracking and identification needs.

“Our commitment to improving public safety and supporting rehabilitation efforts is at the core of our mission. Leveraging our growing customer base and technology expertise, we plan to continue developing and providing advanced solutions that meet the evolving needs in our industry,” Trabelsi stated last year (https://ibn.fm/B5JkQ).

• Bebuzee Founder and CEO Joe Onyero was featured in a recent episode of The Bell2Bell Podcast
• Onyero talked about Bebuzee’s business model, his background prior to founding the company, the company’s development of the super app, and plans for 2024 and beyond
• In the interview, Onyero noted that Bebuzee is aiming to reach a usership of 150 million within the first six months of launching its super app
• The company has also committed to bringing on board more engineers and employees to build the infrastructure that supports the launch and effective functioning of the super app
• Bebuzee looks forward to completing a planned acquisition soon as well as making its super app available throughout the world

Bebuzee (OTC: BBUZ), a social media and digital entertainment service focused on providing innovative and engaging experiences for its users, was featured in a recent episode of The Bell2Bell Podcast. Bebuzee Founder and CEO Joe Onyero joined host Stuart Smith, discussing Bebuzee’s business model, his background prior to founding Bebuzee, the company’s development of its super app, and plans for 2024 and beyond (https://ibn.fm/H366a).

“Bebuzee is going to be launching the first super app in the U.S. and Europe,” said Onyero. “I’m sure a lot of people don’t understand what I mean when I say super app, so I’ll give an example. In Asia, they have a super app called WeChat. It has a market cap of over $300 billion. The app has everything. Most social media users have video-sharing apps, messaging apps, and different sorts of apps on their phones. What a super app does is give you one app that covers everything.”

According to Onyero, a super app eliminates the need to download 15-20 apps, as the functionalities of these respective applications are packaged into “one super app that does everything.” He further stated, “Bebuzee’s super app is going to do almost everything for you; it’s incredible. We’ve just finished it, and we’re preparing and getting all the infrastructure ready to launch globally.”

By overseeing the development and launch of Bebuzee’s super app, as well as the growth of the company and platform, Onyero is extending his long career in the social media industry. “In 2004, seven of my friends and I created a messaging service in Cambridge, U.K., but we didn’t launch it. After a couple of years, one of the big social media platforms in the U.S. launched something similar to what we created two years before.”

While the U.S. launch of the messaging service by the now big social media platform did lead to some form of regret on the part of Onyero and his friends, it only fueled Onyero’s zeal. So, in 2012, he began putting ideas together, envisioning what the modern-day social networking platform should be. These efforts led to the birth of Bebuzee and the super app. Even so, Onyero noted the difficulties faced while developing the super app.

“It took us long to complete the super app. A super app is very difficult to develop, as you’re not just developing a single app like, for example, YouTube, Instagram, or WhatsApp – these are even big products anyway. But you’re developing a super app, which takes lots and lots of time. We never anticipated that it would take this long. We are so happy; we’re so delighted that the super app was completed end of 2023,” he continued.

To facilitate the development, Bebuzee relied on its incredible management as well as its team of engineers. Nevertheless, the company is looking to bring more employees on board before launching the super app to ensure the platform’s robustness and enable the company to add more services and functionalities.

As a perfect example of this resolve, the company recently added two features: a TikTok-style live-streaming service that supports short videos and a live-streaming service for long videos, similar to YouTube’s offering (https://ibn.fm/rs517). According to Onyero, Bebuzee is preparing the infrastructure to launch the super app globally. The company has also set additional targets.

“In 2024, we have two very important goals. First, we have set a target to achieve after launching the super app: within six months of launching the super app, we are going to be aiming for 150 million users and we have laid the foundation of marketing in different countries around the world. Secondly, we are looking to complete a huge acquisition in a few weeks’ time,” explained Onyero.

Onyero urged listeners and stakeholders to look out for the future press release announcing the planned acquisition. He further expressed his excitement at being part of a company with the potential to become “one of the biggest companies in the world” and its plans to make the super app available to users in Europe, Africa, America, South America, and Asia.

• As demand for copper strengthens, Torr Metals continues to expand its highway-accessible Kolos Cu-Au-Mo project in south-central British Columbia
• Torr released results from rock sampling and a comprehensive ZTEM survey that further validated earlier findings and discovered new mineralization at the Vik Zone
• With six zones now identified and 10 greenfield areas in tow, Torr Metals is poised for a potential new major copper porphyry discovery, solidifying its position as an emerging key player in a region known for giant mineral deposits

The global demand for copper, a vital metal used in everything from electrical wiring to renewable energy technologies, has surged in recent years. With copper prices hovering near multi-year highs, exploration companies are actively seeking out new sources of this critical mineral. In a positive development for investors, Torr Metals (TSX.V: TMET), a Vancouver-based exploration company focused on copper and gold projects, has announced the exciting discovery of a new zone enriched in copper and molybdenum at its Kolos project in British Columbia.

Torr recently released final assay results from its 2023 rock sampling program and delineation of a robust ZTEM (Z‐Tipper Axis Electromagnetic), an airborne electromagnetic survey system which detects anomalies in the earth’s natural magnetic field – at the newly defined Vik Zone. ZTEM surveys use electrical currents to “see” underground, helping pinpoint areas with potentially valuable hydrothermal mineralization and alterations that can be associated with mineral deposits.

The Vik Zone is a new discovery of copper (Cu) and molybdenum (Mo) mineralization in outcrop on the margins of one of three highly prospective and untested moderate to high resistivity anomalies identified across a trend of 2.5+ kilometers. The addition of the Vik Zone brings the total significant zones for copper ± gold mineralization on the Kolos Project to six, none of which have ever been drill tested.

The latest rock sample results also confirmed commercially viable levels of copper, with some samples boasting very high concentrations (4,420 parts per million copper). Furthermore, the recent rock grab samples revealed anomalous Cu ± gold (Au) ± Mo in outcrop coincident with 2023 soil sampling, providing prime starting points for future drill targeting.

While gold isn’t the main focus, the two often go together. Gold traces were also detected in some rocks (up to 1.07 g/t Au), adding another potential layer of economic value to the discovery.

The real kicker is the location of the Vik Zone that cannot go overstated for its implications considering that Teck’s massive Highland Valley Copper Mine (1.8 Bt reserves and resources) is just west of Kolos and New Gold’s New Afton Copper-Gold Mine (82.6 Mt reserves and resources) is to the north.

The Vik Zone sits right next to an area already identified by the ZTEM survey as highly prospective. This alignment suggests that the copper and molybdenum found in the rocks might just be the tip of the iceberg, with a much larger mineralized system potentially hidden beneath the surface indicated by multiple ZTEM anomalies extending to 800 meters depth and measuring greater than 1.5 kilometers in width.

To that point, Torr has a total of 10 newly defined grassroots targets identified in the southern and central portions of the project area with comparable prospective geology and geophysical signatures to the six significant mineralized zones. None of these targets have previously been investigated through exploration or drilling, providing a steady stream of additional road-accessible exploration targets with significant new discovery potential.

The Vik Zone discovery is a major win for Torr Metals and their investors for several reasons.

• It strengthens the overall potential of the Kolos project. With multiple promising zones now identified, the chances of uncovering a commercially viable copper and gold mine increase significantly.
• Also, the discovery highlights the effectiveness of Torr’s exploration strategy. By combining surface sampling with advanced geophysical techniques, they’re proving adept at pinpointing areas with high mineral potential. This targeted approach saves time and resources, making exploration more efficient.

Lastly, the discovery underscores the immense potential for further grassroots exploration in the Vik Zone and the broader unexplored project area, where Torr is pioneering new ground. Torr plans to delve deeper to determine the extent and scale of copper-gold- molybdenum mineralization with drill permitting in the works that will provide crucial information for assessing the project’s economic viability.

Already At It

Vik’s surrounding zones can offer a treasure trove of potential for future discoveries. Torr has already completed its latest reconnaissance field sampling program that includes coverage over newly acquired ground to the north and east with assays pending for 27 outcrop and float rock grab samples.

This news bodes well for Torr Metals and their investors. It demonstrates the company’s commitment to uncovering valuable mineral resources in a responsible and efficient manner. With a clear exploration strategy, promising results at Kolos, and a vast area of unexplored potential, Torr Metals is well-positioned for continued growth and exciting discoveries in the years to come.

• Buntanetap is designed to target neurodegeneration by inhibiting the formation of multiple neurotoxic proteins, including amyloid beta, tau, alpha-synuclein, and TDP43
• The study demonstrated significant efficacy and safety for buntanetap in a subgroup of early Alzheimer’s patients in both carriers and non-carriers of Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4), a recognized genetic factor linked to Alzheimer’s
• Annovis Bio has been selected to present detailed data from its Alzheimer’s study at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference(R) 2024

June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, as well as the importance of brain health. Even though the month is almost over, Annovis Bio’s commitment to the Alzheimer’s community goes on.

Annovis Bio (NYSE: ANVS), a late-stage drug platform company, recently announced promising results from its Phase II/III study on buntanetap, a drug candidate aimed at treating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s (“AD”) and Parkinson’s diseases (“PD”). The study demonstrated significant efficacy and safety in a subgroup of early Alzheimer’s patients for buntanetap in both carriers and non-carriers of Apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4), a recognized risk factor for AD (https://ibn.fm/mn4tM).

The study’s findings are highly encouraging, showing substantial improvements in patients with early-stage Alzheimer’s:

• Efficacy in Early AD Patients: Among patients with early AD (MMSE 21-24), buntanetap showed a statistically significant dose-response in ADAS-Cog11 scores. Patients exhibited a 3.3 points improvement over baseline and 2.3 points improvement compared to placebo.
• APOE4 Carriers: APOE4 carriers also experienced a statistically significant 3.15 improvement in ADAS-Cog11 scores.
• Comparable Safety: The safety profile of buntanetap was consistent across both APOE4 carriers and non-carriers, with no reported instances of Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities (“ARIA”) and no severe adverse events.

These findings are significant, especially in the context of recent research published in Nature Medicine. This research redefined APOE4 homozygosity as a unique genetic form of Alzheimer’s, necessitating specialized prevention strategies, clinical trials, and treatments. It emphasized the near-complete penetrance of AD biology in APOE4 homozygotes, identifying them as a crucial target group for therapeutic interventions.

Dr. Samuel Gandy, an Alzheimer’s researcher at Mount Sinai, highlighted the heightened safety risks associated with anti-amyloid drugs like Leqembi for APOE4 homozygotes, noting severe side effects such as brain swelling and bleeding. Buntanetap demonstrated no increased safety issues compared to placebo, even among APOE4 carriers (https://ibn.fm/6mvro).

Buntanetap, formerly known as Posiphen or ANVS401, is designed to target neurodegeneration by inhibiting the formation of multiple neurotoxic proteins, including amyloid beta, tau, alpha-synuclein, and TDP43. By improving synaptic transmission, axonal transport, and reducing neuroinflammation, buntanetap aims to reverse neurodegeneration in AD, PD, and other neurodegenerative diseases. This multi-targeted approach positions buntanetap as a potential breakthrough in treating these debilitating conditions.

In recognition of these significant findings, Annovis Bio has been selected to present detailed data from its Alzheimer’s study at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference(R) 2024 (“AAIC”). This prestigious conference will take place from July 28 to August 1 in Philadelphia, USA, and online (https://ibn.fm/0p9Nz). Dr. Cheng Fang, Senior VP of Research & Development at Annovis Bio, Kathleen A. Welsh-Bohmer, Ph.D., Professor in Psychiatry and Neurology at Duke University, and Maria L. Maccecchini, Ph.D., Founder, President, and CEO of Annovis Bio Inc., will deliver a comprehensive 45-minute presentation during the conference.

“We look forward to sharing the details of our Phase II/III results with the scientific community at this prominent conference,” said Dr. Cheng Fang. “We are also grateful for the 45-minute format, which allows us to present our data comprehensively.”
