• Patented stereoscopic vision technology developed for driver assistance and accident prevention
• Innovative cell phone-based system, Eye-Net, requires no additional hardware
• Foresight well positioned to leverage the world’s largest car manufacturing market in China

Based in Israel, Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: FRSX) specializes in driver assistance technology. The company was founded in 2015, and it is focused on the design, development and commercialization of detection technology for autonomous driving through its wholly owned subsidiary, Foresight Automotive Ltd. The company’s powerful, patented stereoscopic field-proven technology has been deployed throughout the world for almost 20 years. This technology uses advanced algorithms that integrate 3D video analysis for image processing and sensor fusion.

Foresight’s innovative autonomous driving solutions are based on stereoscopic image technology. This is a concept that uses two synchronized cameras to mimic human depth perception and produce a three-dimensional view. This 3D image can anticipate possible collisions with other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and other obstacle. The technology provides highly accurate real-time alerts.

The company’s patents provide IP protection for its robust and proven proprietary stereoscopic technology, which was developed using the security technology of Foresight’s major shareholder, Magna B.S.P. Driver assistance solutions include the use of a two-camera layout suitable for visible lighting conditions and a four-camera layout that is effective at any time of day, in all weather and lighting conditions.

Foresight has developed three main products:

• QuadSight™. This breakthrough detection system sets the bar for autonomous vehicle vision. It features nearly 100 percent obstacle detection with almost zero false alerts and operates optimally under all weather and lighting conditions, including darkness, rain, fog, haze and glare.

QuadSight™ is the first quad-camera multi-spectral vision solution of its kind. It is driven by advanced and proven image processing algorithms. The system consists of two sets of stereoscopic infra-red and visible-light cameras that enable highly accurate and reliable obstacle detection.

• Eyes-On™. This solution uses advanced algorithms for accurate depth analysis and obstacle detection to provide a unique stereo vision Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS).

It can detect all potential obstacles, including other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and animals. It has an accuracy and reliability of almost 100 percent and near zero false alerts.

• Eye-Net™. This is a cellular-based accident prevention solution that is designed to provide real-time pre-collision alerts to vehicles and pedestrians. This proprietary system is deployed on smartphones and cloud-based servers operating on existing cellular networks, and it eliminates the need for additional designated hardware.

Eye-Net™ is designed to provide a complementary layer of protection to advanced driver assistance systems and extends this protection to road users who are not in direct line of sight. It is optimally designed for both urban environments and high-speed scenarios to provide protection for the most vulnerable road users.

On March 28, 2018, Foresight announced that it had completed a successful trial of its Eye-Net™ accident prevention solution (http://ibn.fm/4HLWz). One hundred and twenty users of Android and iOS cell phones across Israel participated in the trial, which marked the completion of the system’s feasibility study.

With a market cap of just over $67 million, Foresight ended the fourth quarter of 2017 with $21.8 million in cash and short-term deposits, and it is well positioned to commercialize its life-saving automotive vision solutions and leverage the world’s largest vehicle manufacturing market in China.

In a news release, the company’s CEO, Haim Siboni, said, “Most recently, our innovative QuadSight™ vision system drew a tremendous amount of attention at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. We have also seen considerable progress in China, as Foresight concluded pilot programs with multiple leading Chinese car manufacturers during 2017. In the coming year, we will continue to leverage our industry-leading technology through pilot tests and commercial partnerships, leading us to long-term success.”

• Successful fintech offers crypto opportunity
• IEGH shareholders of record as of April 30, 2018, can obtain shares in Investment Evolution Coin Ltd.
• Investment Evolution Coin pursuing untapped $28 billion annual remittance market

The cryptocurrency markets are exciting yet fraught with volatility and risk. The meteoric rise of bitcoin from mere pennies in 2010 to nearly $18,000 at the end of 2017 garnered enormous media attention and widespread speculation. However, bitcoin rapidly tumbled and stumbled to about $6,000 by February 2018 and is now trading near $8,000. Some say this is a temporary aberration and it’s headed to $250,000; others say that it’s worthless and headed to zero. Extreme volatility and risk are cold companions to investors. With all the tumult in cryptocurrencies, there may be a better way to gain exposure to crypto markets while mitigating risk.

IEG Holdings Corp. (OTCQB: IEGH) recently announced that shareholders of record on the measure date of April 30, 2018, will retain an upside in the cryptocurrency sector through the launch of a new cryptocurrency by Investment Evolution Coin Ltd. (“IEC”), a company managed by IEG Holdings CEO Paul Mathieson. Investment Evolution Coin Ltd. is a Singapore incorporated public unlisted company that is actively exploring the launch of a new cryptocurrency in Singapore to be called Investment Evolution Coin (“IEC”), which will aim to capitalize on an existing $28 billion annual remittance market. Anticipated to launch this summer, Investment Evolution Coin aims to simplify and capitalize on the $28 billion in financial transfers to the Philippines from its citizens who work in other countries. To prepare for launch, IEC has entered a partnership with HashCash Consultants, a cryptocurrency consultancy company based in Silicon Valley, California.

IEG Holdings shareholders of record on April 30, 2018, will be provided the opportunity to receive shares in IEC that are equivalent to the number and percentage of IEG Holdings common stock in possession of the respective shareholder (http://ibn.fm/9Dfh6).

IEG Holdings is a specialized fintech company in the business of providing unsecured, five-year consumer loans of $5,000 and $10,000 under the brand name ‘Mr. Amazing Loans’ through its website (www.MrAmazingLoans.com). The company is licensed and/or holds certificates of authority to originate direct consumer loans in 20 states. Avoiding subprime lending, IEG Holdings targets the near prime loan market by servicing the needs of underbanked consumers that tend to be ignored by mainstream institutions. The company charges fees that range from 12.0 percent to 29.9 percent APR, which offsets defaults and delivers healthy returns on its loan portfolio. Amazingly, the company’s customer acquisition cost is about half that of traditional brick and mortar lenders, and it offers an automated online loan approval process with transparent contracts and no hidden fees. Customers must like the process and service, since 80 percent of IEGH’s loan book is repeat business.

In February, IEG Holdings signed a blockchain software consultant to provide blockchain development services with plans to create its own IEG Holdings cryptocurrency, but it has decided not to pursue any direct cryptocurrency-related ventures at this time. However, the company is pursuing a parallel opportunity through Investment Evolution Coin and providing shareholders the ability to participate in the crypto markets and the opportunity to capitalize on newfound markets.

IEG Holdings shareholders of record on the measure date of April 30, 2018, could gain significant upside exposure to new cryptocurrency opportunities and mitigate risk through Investment Evolution Coin.

• Patented extraction technology is cleaner and more cost effective than existing processes
• Petroteq focusing on huge oil sands reserves in Utah
• Current production capacity of Utah plant is 1,000 bpd
• Construction of new 5,000 bpd plant in Utah scheduled to start in 2019

Petroteq Energy Inc. (TSX.V: PQE) (OTCQX: PQEFF) has developed patented clean technology for the extraction of oil from sands and shale, which disrupts existing processes. Traditional extraction processes damage the environment, require substantial capital investment and leave vast tailing ponds which take years to reclaim. Petroteq’s proprietary solution is cost effective, produces no greenhouse gases, leaves no waste and provides significantly better economies of scale through modular expansion. To date, the company’s oil sands extraction technology has been awarded two patents in the United States and Canada.

Petroteq’s innovative technology involves mixing crushed raw oil sands with a solvent to extract bitumen oil. In the first stage of the process, raw ore is mixed with solvent in a feed bin before being transported to a mill. The mill crushes the ore to facilitate better dissolution of the oil in the solvent. This mixture is agitated into a fluid before being pumped into an extraction column to remove solids from the oil/solvent mixture. The remaining fluid is pumped to a distillation column which uses heat to separate the solvent from the oil. Evaporated solvent is condensed and recycled to the feed bin for reuse, while the final bitumen oil product is pumped to a storage tank.

Petroteq’s production focus is on its heavy oil extraction plant in Asphalt Ridge, Utah. The company holds a mineral lease that covers more than 3,000 acres with oil sands reserves estimated at 87 million barrels of oil equivalent. Petroteq has recently expanded the production capacity of its Asphalt Ridge plant from 250 to 1,000 barrels per day (bpd) by debottlenecking the facility and deploying its innovative oil sands extraction technology. The company has the capability to further increase the capacity of this plant in the future through the use of its cost-effective, modular and scalable technology, with netback margins anticipated to average between $15 and $20 per barrel. This resource has a projected life expectancy of 25 to 30 years.

The company’s focus on Utah for expansion is fully justified, based on the fact that the state contains approximately 55 percent of the total oil sands deposits in America. These deposits hold a total oil resource of over 30 billion barrels. Petroteq has plans in the pipeline to build a new and larger capacity plant on its Temple Mountain lease in Utah that will produce 5,000 barrels per day, with an anticipated EBITDA of $39.6 million per year. The construction of this plant is scheduled to start in 2019, requiring an estimated capex of $40 million.

Petroteq is currently developing a blockchain-based supply chain management platform called PetroBloq. This will be a world first in the oil and gas industry and will use smart contracts and distributed ledgers to improve supply chain efficiency and automate transactions. This blockchain technology platform will also be used to support the company’s production endeavors. It has the potential to reduce costs and save time, while improving the efficiency, transparency and security of transactions for both production processes and expansion projects.

• North American medical marijuana market estimated at $9-10 billion
• Over one million square feet of cannabis greenhouse space planned
• Signed take or pay supply agreement with world’s largest pure play cannabis company

Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF) seems destined for a future as bright as its name. According to a recent article, titled ‘Who will Dominate California — the World’s Largest Cannabis Market?’ (http://ibn.fm/i0gyO), “Sunniva’s once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become one of California’s dominant cannabis companies cannot be over-emphasized.” The vertically integrated medical cannabis producer is constructing purpose built, large-scale current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) compliant greenhouse facilities in North America’s two largest markets, California and Canada.

As if that isn’t enough to signal success, the Vancouver, B.C. headquartered company has inked a take or pay deal with the largest medical marijuana company for 45,000 kg (100,000 lbs.) of cannabis annually, in Canada. Sunniva recently secured equity financing to the tune of C$27.8 million. The company plans to release its results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2017, after market close on Tuesday, April 24, 2018. That release will be the focal point of discussion during a conference call set for Wednesday, April 25, 2018 at 11:30 AM Eastern Time/8:30 am Pacific Time. Investors who wish to participate can find further details here: (http://ibn.fm/QWIxb).

There’s no doubt that Sunniva has a lot going for it. By positioning itself in California and Canada, the company is gaining access to a market that’s approximately valued at $9-10 billion. In California, Sunniva has a significant first mover advantage, and sales of medical marijuana were $2.7 billion in 2016, according to Arcview Market Research (http://ibn.fm/hSIKg). In Canada, MMJ sales reached $5.7 billion in 2017, according to data released by Statistics Canada (http://ibn.fm/AWKv5).

The company’s supply agreement with Canopy Growth Corporation is a big deal in more ways than one. By committing to such a large take or pay contract, Canopy Growth Corporation, probably the world’s largest and most sophisticated cannabis company, is giving a big thumb up to Sunniva’s business model. Under a take or pay agreement, the buyer must accept the contracted volume of supply after testing. The agreement also includes the distribution of Sunniva branded products, substantially reduces Sunniva’s enterprise risk level and gives the producer a large bite of the North American MMJ market.

Sunniva’s management has already been there and done that. Dr. Anthony Holler, the company’s current chairman and CEO, a co-founder, started and led the very successful ID Biomedical. Dr. Holler not only drove ID Biomedical to become the world’s largest flu vaccine manufacturer, pre-selling its production, but finally sold the company to GlaxoSmithKline for total consideration of $2.0 billion. In addition, Sunniva’s Lead Director, Todd Patrick, served as president of ID Biomedical for over a decade.

Endorsement of Sunniva’s strategy has come in the form of additional equity. The company recently completed a bought deal public offering for gross proceeds of C$27.8 million. The funds will be used to commence development, in the next 30 days, on the Sunniva Canada Campus, a 700,000 square foot greenhouse facility in British Columbia that is anticipated to be financed by bank and subordinate debt lending; to purchase additional equipment for the operational extraction facility in California owned by A1 Perez, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sunniva; for the additional development of the company’s SPARK enterprise platform to support continued Natural Health Services Ltd. (another wholly-owned subsidiary) patient expansion; and to boost working capital.

Sunniva also continues the build-out of its facilities in Cathedral City, California. The fully funded state-of-the-art greenhouse will be cGMP compliant, which assures proper design, monitoring and control of manufacturing processes and facilities. Phase 1 of the project involves the development of a 325,000 square foot greenhouse capable of producing 60,000 kg per year of dry cannabis at capacity with operations commencing in Q3 2018.  Approximately 50 percent of initial total production is earmarked for conversion to oils and extracts. Phase 2 is expected to increase the greenhouse by 165,000 square feet and increase production by some 40,000 kg per year. This is a company that seems to have lined up many bank shots and is well on its way to becoming a leading cannabis company in California and Canada.

• Slashes end-user costs by up to 60 percent
• Commitment to customer service and attention to detail deliver tangible value to company’s clients

Every business and homeowner in the country wants to save money on utility costs. However, monolithic legacy companies provide utilities such as water, electricity and natural gas with a vested interest in selling commodities, antithetical to reducing consumer expenses. As a result, lowering costs subsequently becomes challenging and complex and usually means unreliable, lower quality service.

In stark contrast to the above status quo, slashing total utility costs by 20 to 60 percent, Zenergy Brands, Inc. (OTC: ZNGY) is disrupting the established order in utility expenses. With a pragmatic commitment to excellence, Zenergy has rapidly become the nation’s leading next-generation energy and technology firm in the burgeoning smart energy, conservation and utility marketplace.

After a specified repayment period, clients reap all of the financial rewards of the newly implemented technologies.

Businesses are embracing Zenergy’s approach and the bottom line benefits it delivers. Tanglewood Resort & Conference Center, located just north of Dallas, recently joined Zenergy’s family of satisfied customers (http://ibn.fm/fSYEZ). In a testament to Zenergy’s spirit of excellence, Roger Thiltgen, president of Tanglewood Resort Properties, stated, “We evaluated proposals by three different companies over several months and Zenergy came out as a clear winner in terms of professionalism, price, and technical competence. I was also impressed that Zenergy inspected every light fixture and component on the property prior to bidding—all 6,482 of them!”

With professionalism, price, and technical competence, Zenergy’s unwavering commitment to customer service and attention to detail is delivering tangible value to its clients, and this should represent a growing value to current and future shareholders.

• Creating a distribution network throughout California to serve the state’s $8.6 billion cannabis industry
• Plans include construction of 10,000 square foot distribution and transportation facility in Adelanto, California, with plans for several more in strategic locations around the state
• Holds transportation and distribution permit from Adelanto municipal government
• Has access to Track & Trace software platform, a requirement of California’s Bureau of Cannabis Control

TransCanna™ specializes in assisting clients who are cannabis farmers and manufacturers get recognized by end consumers who in turn purchase their products. TransCanna™ offers services to support every aspect of the cannabis-related eco-system; from branding and design, to transportation and distribution, to marketing and sales.

California’s legalized adult-use recreational marijuana market opened for business January 1, 2018. The state’s Bureau of Cannabis Control is responsible for regulating all commercial activities in the state including cultivation, distribution and transportation. Moving cannabis products in the California marketplace is extremely challenging due to municipal and state laws and regulations, which can differ among cities and counties. Since cannabis remains illegal under federal law, Department of Transportation regulated companies are barred from participating in the market, which means companies looking to excel in the sector must hold a state-issued distributor license from the Bureau of Cannabis Control.

TransCanna™ has already entered into an Intellectual Property Rights and Royalty Agreement for the Track & Trace software platform required by the state of California and has received a transportation and distribution permit from the city of Adelanto. TransCanna™ has also executed a land lease to build a 10,000 square foot transportation and distribution facility in Adelanto.

TransCanna™ is strategically creating a distribution network throughout California that places its facilities no further than a 3-hour drive from any client. The company is in the process of leasing or purchasing properly licensed and permitted warehouses strategically located throughout California along with new secure trucks, sprinter vans and/or armored vehicles.

TransCanna™ plans to create its own portfolio of branded products for the cannabis and hemp sectors. The company’s management team intends to translate the skills, knowledge and experience gained from a combined 60 years of branding and marketing experience in the music, professional sports and alcohol industries into TransCanna™ and the cannabis industry.

As part of the “TransCanna™ Way,” the company intends to control all aspects of the supply chain from upper end procurement, branding, transportation and distribution, to marketing and sales.

Leading TransCanna™ as its CEO and chairman is James Pakulis, who has three decades of experience working with public and private entrepreneurial companies in a variety of emerging and high-growth sectors. He is currently president and a director of Lifestyle Delivery Systems Inc. (CSE: LDS) (OTCQB: LDSYF), a vertically integrated cannabis-related entity operating in California. Pakulis was chairman and CEO of General Cannabis Inc. and oversaw the company’s growth from zero to over $16 million in annual revenue in less than 24 months.

Greg Ball serves as TransCanna™ CFO. He holds a CPA, CGA (British Columbia) designation and has served as director and CFO of the company since November 15, 2017. Ball has over 30 years of accounting experience. Joao (John) da Costa serves as a director on the TransCanna™ management team. He is the founder and president of Da Costa Management Corp, a company which provides management and accounting services to the public and private sector.

The company’s strategic advisors include individuals with extensive experience in branding, marketing, sales, distribution, production, supply chain management, and armed security services.

• Permanent, annual state license for this facility to be applied for within the next 120 days
• Production capacity projected to reach over 100,000 kg of medical cannabis per year
• Californian facility will provide tenancy for other licensed cannabis cultivators

On April 12, 2018, Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF) announced that its subsidiaries in the United States have received the necessary temporary licenses from the State of California to proceed with the construction of the company’s cultivation facilities in Cathedral City, California (http://ibn.fm/2XzEf). Licenses are temporary while the state develops permanent regulations for its newly legalized cannabis industry. Sunniva will apply for an annual state license within the next 120 days, as per state regulations.

The company refers to its purpose-built, state-of-the-art greenhouse cultivation facility in Cathedral City as the Sunniva California Campus. The Californian licenses will allow Sunniva to grow and process top-quality medical and adult-use cannabis and cannabis products. The facility will also accommodate licensed tenant cultivators who will leverage the infrastructure and services provided by the Sunniva California Campus. This provides them access to world-class cultivation infrastructure as well as Sunniva’s management and operational expertise through the provision of turnkey services. These include Sunniva’s genetics, management and consulting services, processing and manufacturing capabilities, distribution network, brand partnerships and retail relationships.

“This is a very significant milestone for Sunniva’s operations in California,” Sunniva CEO Dr. Anthony Holler said following the announcement. “An important aspect of the licensing process has been completed and now our focus is on completing construction on time and entering into supply contracts with distribution partners, leading brands and creating Sunniva branded products for the California marketplace.”

Sunniva’s U.S. subsidiary, CP Logistics, LLC, holds licenses for eight 10,000-square foot cultivation facilities, as well as two manufacturing licenses, a 22,000-square foot cultivation license, a 22,000-square foot nursery license and another 10,000-square foot nursery license. In addition, the company will lease seven 22,000-square foot cultivation bays to selected licensed tenants.

Along with the announcement, the company also provided an update on the construction progress for the Sunniva California Campus. Rough grading, steel erection and greenhouse glass and glazing are 100 percent complete. The installation of blackout screening and fire suppression equipment is 60 percent complete. The construction of header house roof panels is 30 percent complete, while 10 percent progress has been made on the construction of utility work. The company anticipates onboarding of plant propagating materials late Q3 2018.

Highest quality at the lowest cost

With headquarters in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Sunniva is a vertically integrated medical cannabis company currently operating in Canada and California, two of the world’s largest cannabis markets. The company will strive to become the lowest-cost, highest-quality cannabis producer in these markets with a commitment to deliver safe, high-quality products and services at scale. This will be achieved by building large-scale purpose-built greenhouses that conform to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). These facilities will offer top-notch quality assurance to deliver cannabis products free of pesticides, provide better doctor and patient access to cannabis education, and source better therapeutic delivery devices.

Sunniva operates through several wholly-owned subsidiaries:

• Sunniva Medical Inc.

This company’s ACMPR license application is in the final review stage. It is building a 700,000-square foot purpose-built and cGMP-compliant greenhouse facility in British Columbia. This is expected to produce more than 100,000 kg of premium medical cannabis per year, and over 25,000 kg of trim to be used for extraction.

Sunniva expects to break ground for the construction of this facility in early 2018. It will produce pesticide-free products and will convert trim to a range of extracted products such as cannabis oil. The oil will be used for drug formulations in delivery formats that include capsules, dissolvable strips, creams, tinctures and vaporization cartridges.

• CP Logistics, LLC

This is Sunniva’s U.S.-based subsidiary which has started construction of the Sunniva California Campus in Cathedral City, California. This facility has been cGMP designed and will be built in two phases. The first phase is designed to cover an area of 325,000 square feet to produce more than 60,000 kg of premium quality cannabis a year.

After the completion of phase 2, the facility is projected to produce over 100,000 kg of cannabis per year. It is estimated that 30 percent of all product will be used for the manufacture of higher margin extracted products, which will be produced free of the pesticides commonly used in cannabis cultivation today.

• Natural Health Services Ltd.

Natural Health Services (NHS) owns and operates a network of eight medical, ACMPR-licensed clinics in Canada which specialize in medical cannabis. The company provides patients with safe and effective medical cannabis products sources through Licensed Producers (LPs). Its clinics employ in-house physicians and nurse practitioners who specialize in the endocannabinoid system to provide patients with expert consultation, education and product recommendations.

NHS’s proprietary technology infrastructure helps LPs, physicians and patients comply with the rules of Health Canada for the supply and use of medical cannabis. The company currently has 93,000 patients and over 129,000 active medical documents outstanding.

• Full-Scale Distributors, LLC

Full-Scale Distributors (FSD) is a provider of custom, private-label vaporizers and accessories. FSD’s signature brand, Vapor Connoisseur, is recognized for its high quality and innovative vaporization devices. The company currently serves the needs of more than 80 brands that are active in the North American marketplace.

FSD’s vaporization products are tailored to specific client needs, while ensuring safety and reliability. The company will continue to provide these services and will be supplied by both of Sunniva’s production facilities in Canada and California.

Sunniva intends to offer its business partners the highest level of comprehensive white labeling services in the industry through a stringent quality assurance program to ensure pesticide-free production. Currently, the cannabis industry in North America is beset with significant problems around the use of pesticides and fungicides in cultivation that make cannabis products unsafe for consumption. It is estimated that over 90 percent of products made from cannabis flower and extracts in California are contaminated, and will most likely not pass new state testing protocols to be introduced in 2018.

The company will solve this problem by building cGMP-compliant greenhouse facilities free of pesticides and other contaminants. Its endeavor will be supported by an executive management team and board of directors that have a proven track record of creating significant shareholder value, both in the healthcare and biotech industries.

• Montenegro set to join European Union
• Adriatic Coastline and historic sites make it an increasingly popular tourist destination
• Investment in tourist properties to accommodate growing tourist arrivals

Britain is on its way out of the European Union, but Montenegro appears to be on its way in. On April 15, 2018, pro-European Union candidate Milo Đukanović won Montenegro’s presidential election in a vote touted as a test of popular support for EU membership. The southeastern European nation has already begun to pave its entry into the European fold. Montenegro joined EU sanctions against Russia in 2014 and expelled a Russian diplomat after the poisoning of Russian émigré Sergei Skripal in the U.K. recently. Access to the Common Market will further boost an economy that is one of the fastest growing in Europe. With prospects so decidedly sunny, now may be an opportune time for investment. The experienced management team at American-Swiss Capital certainly thinks so. It has identified a number of distressed properties in Montenegro, which, with savvy management, hold the promise of high returns.

Montenegro’s economy has been clipping along at a nice pace. In 2017, GDP rose by 4.3 percent, ‘led by investment in highway construction and a record-setting tourism season’ (http://ibn.fm/NtlK4). As a tourist destination, it was a favorite with Russians, 318,000 of whom flocked to beaches along the Adriatic Sea (http://ibn.fm/9jxpK). Montenegro’s coastline with the Adriatic, the northernmost portion of the Mediterranean Sea, stretches for 295 km (183 miles), of which about 72 km (45 miles) consists of fine beaches. It’s not just the Russians who find the pleasing panoramas and littoral landscape of the Balkan nation delightful. In 2017, the total number of tourists who stayed in the country increased by 18.1 percent to 955,499, according to the national statistical office, a number, it must be noted, which exceeds the country’s population of about 625,000 (http://ibn.fm/nG3lq).

American-Swiss Capital plans to capitalize on those sterling statistics. The company’s genesis was inspired by a perceived commercial opportunity to act as a conduit between the U.S. equity markets and leading enterprises in Switzerland and Northern Europe. Headquartered in Miami, Florida, American-Swiss Capital seeks out superior quality, undervalued real estate properties, managing them to generate high rates of return. The company’s experienced management team possesses the knowledge and skills required to identify relatively risk-free, profitable investment opportunities, with a focus on distressed properties.

American-Swiss Capital has set its sights on an attractive property in the Boka Bay community of Tivat, home to Porto Montenegro and the heart of the coastline’s burgeoning tourism industry. The company is presently in negotiations to purchase the property, an 18-unit apartment beachfront development, for approximately $2.0 million. The property, which was constructed in 2012 but never occupied, has been valued at about $4.5 million. Apartment unit size ranges from 60-160 square meters. The property has a private beach with a fixed pontoon boat berth situated only one kilometer from the full-service marina of Porto Montenegro.

American-Swiss Capital is also contemplating a development project at Tivat. The company is considering the acquisition of about 36,000 SQM of land located on the picturesque, UNESCO-protected Bay of Kotor, about 6.2 kilometers from Porto Montenegro. The vision is to build a gated community with the construction of 30 villas, each measuring about 360 square meters (or about 3,875 square feet). American-Swiss estimates the total cost of the project would be approximately $9.3 million, which could be funded by presales and debt financing.

In 2017, EU GDP grew faster than expected, as the transition from economic recovery to expansion continued. With more of that economic energy on its way in 2018, real estate returns are set to rise. American-Swiss Capital may be placing its bets at the right time.

• Acquisition in 2017 of Euclides Technologies positions ATIXF to grow by adding a second industry application; company is now applying its machine-learning platform to workflow analytics
• ATIXF, a leading artificial intelligence company, also gains revenue by licensing its technology

AnalytixInsight Inc. (TSX.V: ALY) (OTCQB: ATIXF) reported sharply higher revenues for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2017.

ATIXF is an artificial intelligence (AI) company based in Toronto, Canada, that turns large volumes of data into actionable information. Workflow information is robotically analyzed for maximum performance using proprietary algorithms. CapitalCube, its product, is a software-as-a-service (SAAS) platform that offers financial research for investors and others.

The company has already licensed its technology to stock exchanges, web portals and financial news agencies. In addition, it owns 49 percent of Marketwall, an associated company. In the future, ATIXF expects to spin out Marketwall in a joint effort with co-owner Intesa Sanpaolo, after Marketwall reaches certain milestones. Its 2017, ATIXF’s acquisition of Euclides Technologies expanded its focus and application of AI to include workflow analytics (http://ibn.fm/nNh80).

Key to the company’s sustained financial growth is the announcement that ATIXF has a contracted order backlog of $4.5 million in 2018. The company is applying its AI to two primary industries, and it generates revenue from licensing.

In a news release, Prakash Hariharan, president and CEO of ATIXF, said, “We believe the company is very well positioned to benefit from the rapidly evolving industry movements to embrace artificial intelligence and machine-learning solutions within business.” He added that the company has strengthened its machine-learning platform, gained customers and solidified a second industry application with the acquisition of Euclides Technologies.
