ORHub, Inc. (ORHB) is “One to Watch”

ORHub, Inc. (OTC: ORHB) is a cloud-based software platform designed to transform the business of surgery into a value-based model. The platform empowers care providers at every stage of the surgical process to collaborate, organize, deliver, measure, and reimburse in one intuitive, easy-to-use program. This significantly decreases cost and improves outcomes by eliminating inefficiencies, duplications of effort, and errors and omissions that result from siloed processes in outdated software and poor handoffs from one part of the care process to another.

The need for ORHub is clear. Health care costs are out of control at more than 17% of US GDP, which equates to over $3 trillion per year. With costs rising every year due to an aging population and increasingly expensive treatments, providers are under severe pressure to become more efficient and reduce costs. This is happening because payors are aggressively reducing reimbursements and finally moving away from fee-for-service and toward a performance-based reimbursement system referred to as value-based health care.

Accurately measuring the cost of treating a condition and relating that cost to the patient’s outcome is at the heart of value-based health care. Institutions that have adopted this model have reaped savings of 20-40% on their overall cost of care. Unfortunately, today’s siloed IT systems are fundamentally at odds with this process. Legacy health care solutions come from a fee-for-service world and have reinforced the problem and produced a system with erratic quality and unsustainable costs. Most health care applications today are incremental improvements on these existing systems or are simple digital implementations of antiquated pen-and-paper processes.

Providers wanting to practice value-based health care need value-based software. ORHub creates a value-based solution that will revolutionize surgical care delivery by tracking the cost of treating a condition from diagnosis to discharge, and tracking outcomes that resulted from that treatment.

In an industry where major IT rollouts traditionally cost millions of dollars and take an average of eighteen months, pilot installations of ORHub have been completed in less than a month. By avoiding integration with legacy systems completely through a radically comprehensive and collaborative approach, providers see results right away. This approach produces real-time metrics in a uniform manner at any institution, which makes it ideal for large providers looking to make improvements across the board at multiple facilities.

ORHub started as a pilot program developed in cooperation with a major Southern California hospital. It has since expanded operations into a second facility at the number two non-profit hospital system in the US. Three additional pilot programs are scheduled prior to a national launch. The company has raised more than $1.6 million as of January 2017.

The company is also a showcase member of the startup program at Microsoft, which has been a key partner by providing financial assistance, strategy, introductions to influencers and mentors, and access to its sales organization who see ORHub as an exciting partner to expand the utilization of Microsoft Surface devices and Azure Cloud. Microsoft is funding a major case study in partnership with Intel about the impact of ORHub on participating institutions to be concluded sometime in Q2 2017.

ORHub’s leadership team is helmed by Colt Melby, who was appointed CEO in 2016 and has been crucial to developing and executing the company’s business strategy. Mr. Melby’s extensive business experience includes the NASDAQ uplisting of Smith and Wesson (now American Outdoor Brands), CUI Global Inc., and Quest Resource Holdings Corp. His wealth of information and relationships have been vital in helping the company go from concept to production in institutional medicine in less than a year.

Delivering surgical care to a single patient is a complex process that may take half a dozen companies and more than a dozen departments cooperating inside and outside the care facility. ORHub simplifies and streamlines this process by enabling vendors, providers, and surgeons to collaborate on providing care.

Singlepoint, Inc. (SING) Helping Cannabis Businesses Accept Transactions in a Secure and Legal Way

Despite a total of 28 states having now legalized marijuana in some form, the U.S Drug Enforcement Administration still classifies cannabis as a Schedule 1 substance, alongside heroin and LSD. With this mind, it has been hard for the banking industry to support legal marijuana businesses.

Because such businesses have fewer options in opening bank accounts with national banks, they are pressured to accept cash payments, making them vulnerable to all of the issues associated with operating a cash business. Cash transactions make cannabis businesses prime targets for theft and break-ins, not to mention the gap left open for certain business owners to commit tax fraud.

According to a new report published by Arcview Market Research, people in North America spent just under $7 billion on legal marijuana products in 2016, over 30% more than the previous year. The report continues to explain that the cannabis industry is one of the fastest growing in the world and that sales are expected to increase to over $21 billion by 2021.

In spite of the growth, many still believe there are too many potential problems that could be solved by opening new doors to banking services. A letter to the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) (http://dtn.fm/1apB1) states, “The fledgling legal market for marijuana is around $7 billion, a figure that’s dwarfed by the overall $50 billion US market, most of which remains illegal. This business environment is an invitation to tax fraud, robberies, money laundering, and organized crime.”

However, there are companies such as SingleSeed Payments, a subsidiary of Singlepoint, Inc. (OTC: SING), that are filling the gap for this increasing demand. SingleSeed is a leading payment solution provider to the cannabis industry, offering non-cash payment solutions to its customers, making their businesses safer and more efficient while discouraging illegitimate transactions.

The company offers three main services: Cashless ATM, Pay by Text, and Text Message Marketing. Cashless ATM and Pay by Text allow customers to pay for their products without the need for physical money, while Text Message Marketing enables cannabis businesses to communicate with customers, increase loyalty, and drive sales through simple text messages.

Monaker Group, Inc. (MKGI) Positioned to Capitalize as U.S. Private Accommodation Market Set to Reach $36.6 Billion by 2018

Perhaps no segment of the travel industry has changed so much over the last few years as lodging and accommodation. Spurred by an initial decline of the global travel market a few years ago but given new life by a new generation of travelers who prefer a different kind of tourism with more personal experiences to the traditional hotel and sightseeing model, the alternative and private lodging segment has been growing at a steady rate recently. The private accommodation market is becoming increasingly popular and is expected to reach $36.6 billion in the United States alone by the end of next year, according to new data from travel industry research authority Phocuswright. This is great news for both tourists and providers of alternative lodging rental (ALR) services such as Monaker Group, Inc. (OTCQB: MKGI), which offers these services via its innovative, real-time booking platform NextTrip.com.

In two separate reports released this month, Phocuswright emphasizes the fast growth of the vacation rental market, which has become one of the most popular segments of the industry. Private accommodation grew by 11 percent in 2016, which was nearly twice as fast as the overall U.S. travel market, according to the report ‘A Market Transformed: Private Accommodation in the U.S.’ (http://dtn.fm/AdOQ7). This growth pace is expected to slow down in 2017 and even 2018, but this segment is expected to continue outpacing the overall travel market throughout this time span, the document underlines.

The increasing role of private accommodation and alternative lodging rentals is also outlined by the sixteenth edition of Phocuswright’s ‘U.S. Online Travel Overview’ (http://dtn.fm/u4Wc8). According to this report, the alternative lodging rental market now accounts for almost one-fifth of the entire accommodation market. In addition, booking rates for vacation rentals are growing increasingly faster than those reported by hotels.

Once regarded simply as a cheaper alternative to traditional accommodation or a largely offline alternative typically reserved for family vacations, private accommodations have become increasingly popular since moving online with the help of intermediaries such as Airbnb and HomeAway. Gradually, they have become the accommodation of choice for a new generation of younger tourists whose traveling preferences focus mostly on creating memories and personal experiences by interacting with the places and people they visit more closely. The success of this private accommodation market has also attracted the interest of large travel and accommodation groups such as Expedia (NASDAQ: EXPE) and The Priceline Group’s (NASDAQ: PCLN) Booking.com, both of which have already started building their ALR inventories. In 2015, Expedia completed the acquisition of the HomeAway platform for $3.9 billion.

This trend is likely to continue in the future, with the private accommodation market set to continue gaining more ground over the traditional hotel and lodging segment, according to Phocuswright experts. “The segment’s shift online, the expansion of the concept to include private homes in urban markets, the entrance of OTAs, and numerous innovative startups have all contributed to powering a period of tremendous growth,” said Douglas Quinby, Phocuswright’s vice president, research. “Against a backdrop of strong performance for the U.S. travel industry, the private accommodation segment has grown much faster than travel overall,” he added.

With a continuously growing portfolio of alternative lodging units that currently stands at more than 1.1 million worldwide, the NextTrip.com platform is representative of Monaker Group’s focus on this market segment and its commitment to offering customers comprehensive travel solutions and personalized tours. The NextTrip.com platform is unique on the market at the moment, being the only one to offer travelers real-time booking and access to everything they need to organize their journeys down to the smallest details, from ALR options to hotels, rental car services, airlines, concierge and more. In addition to the NextTrip.com platform, Monaker Group offers a wide range of tourism services, including highly customizable tours and travel solutions, through its Maupintour subsidiary.

SeeThruEquity Projects Moxian, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOXC) Revenues at Greater Than $40 Million by FY2019

SeeThruEquity initiated coverage of Moxian, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOXC) on February 8, 2017, projecting that the China-based company will achieve annual revenues of more than $40 million by FY2019 alongside EBITDA of $17.456 million. The investment research firm set a price target of $4.50 for the company’s stock (http://nnw.fm/Kb4Rn).

Moxian is focused on the $48 billion (1H2017) O2O market, according to the SeeThruEquity report, quoting investment materials from the company. Moxian’s platform, Moxian+, targets small- and medium-sized businesses in the O2O market in China. Moxian offers consumers the ability, through mobile, social media, and online channels, to purchase online and pay offline. It is growing in popularity in China, especially among younger and higher educated demographic groups.

The commercial for-profit launch of Moxian+ is anticipated in March 2017, according to the SeeThruEquity report. It also says that Moxian plans to have 80 sales team members by the end of June 2017, largely split between the company’s offices in Shenzhen and Shanghai. By the end of 2017, the report states, the company plans to have 100 sales team members as it also expands into Guangzhou.

“The target of $4.50 implies a market capitalization of approximately $300 mn, which represents a multiple of 12x Moxian’s 2018 revenue outlook of $25 mn,” the report states. SeeThruEquity assumes revenue streams from mobile advertising, premium service licensing agreements and merchant fees from transactions.

SeeThruEquity projects that 2017 will be a pivotal growth year for Moxian as it expands its sales force, grows into more cities in China and launches Moxian+ with premium paid services and a mobile app. The research company said it was “intrigued” by the O2O market growth in China. It also found that Moxian’s strategy of focusing on small- and medium-sized businesses and social media through mobile apps and online is a way for the company to grow its customer base “with proper sales execution.”

The report noted that Moxian+ is currently non-paid, but it has already attracted 31,600 businesses and more than 300,000 consumers. The platform is expected to transition to a paid version this year. The company currently has two apps: Moxian+ Business for vendors and Moxian+ User for consumers. The business app enables firms to design ad campaigns for consumers who may have an interest in their products. The social app lets consumers connect with other individuals with similar interests.

eXp World Holdings, Inc. (EXPI) Set to Capitalize on Canadian Real Estate Market Interest Following U.S. Presidential Election

According to a just-published article by Royal Lepage (http://dtn.fm/Q6oZR), Canada’s leading real estate services provider, there has been a verified surge of American interest in Canadian real estate following the recent presidential election. The company reported an increase in searches into the Canadian real estate market from across the United States.

Although the United States has always been a top source for immigration into Canada, the past year has seen a significant increase in U.S. traffic on the Royal Lepage website. The site reported an increase of just under 74% compared to the same period in 2015. In addition, according to the company’s Canada-wide survey, nearly 40% of respondents expect a rise in American inquiries into the Canadian real estate market.

eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI) is especially well positioned for growth in the Canadian market. The fully agent owned real estate brokerage already has a significant presence in the country’s real estate sector thanks to its subsidiary, eXp Realty of Canada, Inc., which covers over 80 areas in Canada. Its unique ability to scale rapidly is based upon the fact that it is cloud-based, using advanced technologies for efficient communication, marketing, and training, and not dependent upon traditional brick-and-mortar facilities.

According to the findings, top researched locations in Canada by Americans include Ontario with over 41%, British Columbia with over 17%, Quebec with just under 14%, and Alberta with just under 8% of searches, with Calgary and Edmonton receiving the most interest from potential American buyers in the Alberta province.

Although Royal Lepage realtors working in these areas announced not having sold any properties to Americans since October 2016, they still represent a large percentage of property purchasers in Canada, and the dramatic increase in American interest in Canadian real estate since the election can’t be ignored.

CytoDyn Inc. (CYDY) PRO 140 – A Promising Entry in the Treatment of HIV

The upcoming Conference On Retroviruses And Opportunistic Infections, to be held at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle from February 13-16, 2017, is billed to feature a heavyweight clash between GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK) and Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD) for the treatment of HIV patients (http://nnw.fm/05mzG).

Gilead is expected to present data from mid-stage Phase II testing of bictegravir, an integrase inhibitor similar to GSK’s dolutegravir. The GSK product, marketed as Tivicay, has enjoyed wide success, gaining approval not only in the U.S. but in Canada and the European Union as well. Its success restored GSK’s dominant position in the HIV market, which it had previously lost to Gilead. No doubt, Gilead is hoping to regain the top spot. However, along with Gilead, there is an up-and-coming player in the HIV field.

CytoDyn Inc. (OTCQB: CYDY) is taking its lead product candidate, PRO 140, into Phase III clinical trials. PRO 140 has a number of distinct advantages over competing regimes. Its defensive mechanism is initiated at an earlier stage; it does not interfere with general immune response; and its potential side effects are thought to be much less toxic.

Gilead has been keen to show that bictegravir offers greater potency and reduced side effects than other integrase strand transfer inhibitors (ISTIs), such as Vitekta (elvitegravir), Isentress (raltegravir) and, particularly, Tivicay (dolutegravir). After one study, the company announced that bictegravir had demonstrated superior resistance characteristics. If success along those lines continue, this would allow the drug to be used in combination with others, opening the door to less expensive and more effective treatment regimes.

In devising treatment regimes for HIV, drug resistance is a frustrating stumbling block. Since HIV is a retrovirus, i.e., a RNA-based virus rather than a DNA-based virus, it is subject to copy errors during replication and, consequently, a tendency to mutate rapidly. Although discussed as if it were one virus, the many mutations it undergoes mean that researchers are really dealing with a large population of mixed viruses called quasi-species, some of which, unfortunately, turn out to be resistant to particular drugs.

It gets worse. Sometimes, cross resistance results, meaning that resistance to one drug causes the virus population to become resistant to similar drugs in the same class. It is then possible for someone to be cross-resistant to a drug they have never taken.

However, in previous short-term trials, it has been shown that CytoDyn’s PRO 140 does not induce the development of resistant viruses.

PRO 140 is a viral-entry inhibitor, a new class of HIV/AIDS therapies that work by blocking the entry of HIV to healthy cells. Many of the current AIDS therapies slow HIV replication by inhibiting viral enzymes within cells that are already affected by HIV. However, viral entry inhibitors advance the defense mechanism by protecting healthy cells from being infected in the first place.

PRO 140 is a fully humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody and thus, unlike a synthetic drug, is likely to have many less side effects. It works by blocking the entry of HIV to CCR5, a molecular portal the virus uses to enter T-cells. However, PRO 140 does not appear to interfere with the normal function of CCR5 in mediating immune responses.

Recently, CytoDyn Inc. announced the first Phase III clinical trial with PRO 140 as a single-agent maintenance therapy in virally suppressed subjects with HIV. PRO 140 is considered one of the most advanced experimental monoclonal antibodies for HIV treatment and has been used in more than 200 HIV-infected patients in placebo controlled and open label FDA-approved clinical trials. The drug has been the subject of seven clinical trials, each demonstrating efficacy by significantly reducing or controlling HIV viral load in human test patients, and it has been designated a “fast track” product candidate with the possibility of accelerated approval by the FDA.

Moxian, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOXC) Receives Initial Coverage from SeeThruEquity, Price Target Set at $4.50

Leading independent equity research firm SeeThruEquity on February 8, 2017, announced that it has initiated coverage of China’s Moxian, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOXC), with a price target of $4.50 over the next 12 months, according to a press release (http://nnw.fm/Myy0B) from the equity firm. Based in Shenzhen, China, Moxian has quickly developed into one of the Asian nation’s top providers of sales and marketing solutions aimed at helping online vendors connect with customers, with a focus on social media integration and the fast-growing online-to-offline market.

SeeThruEquity, which focuses on small- and micro-cap public companies, also released an initial coverage report for the Chinese company, describing its business model, main achievements and plans against the backdrop of an O2O market currently estimated at $48 billion in China alone. The O2O industry is expected to continue growing very rapidly, with China remaining a world leader in the sector. The Chinese O2O market presents impressive opportunities, as O2O industry sales here grow at a consistent rate of approximately 25 percent per year, the SeeThruEquity report states.

Noting that its analysts “are intrigued by the large market opportunity” available for O2O service providers in China, the SeeThruEquity document goes on to emphasize the size of China’s mobile market, with more than 1.3 billion mobile phone users, according to data made available by the country’s Ministry of Industry and Technology in December 2015. China is also a leader when it comes to internet-enabled handsets, as it has almost 700 million smartphone subscribers with more than 910 million handsets. On this fast-developing market for O2O services, driven by the impressive growth of the mobile market, Moxian is targeting primarily small- and medium-sized businesses that are actively doing business online. According to the SeeThruEquity report, there are more than 75 million small- and medium-sized businesses in China, which should present Moxian with ample opportunity to continue growing its customer base.

Indeed, the company has plans for a large sales push that targets SMEs in large metro areas, via a commercial launch of its Moxian+ platform in March. The Moxian+ technology platform provides SMEs with a full suite of O2O commerce services and all of the technological tools needed to manage and conduct their business online, on both mobile and social media. A free version of the platform is already being used by more than 30,000 merchants and 300,000 consumers, and the company is planning to focus its sales team’s efforts on converting these users to premium paid services, as well as on bringing in new customers.

Moxian’s platform integrates social media features, entertainment, gamification, and business intelligence capabilities. Built around a proprietary Social Customer Relationship Management tool, the platform was created with the specific goal of enhancing business-consumer interactions by allowing marketers to run targeted ad campaigns and users to connect with other users and businesses based on their interests and preferences. This is achieved via two specialized apps: the Moxian+ Business app for merchants and the Moxian+ User app for consumers.

With offices in Shenzhen and Beijing, branches in Malaysia and Hong Kong, and a growing sales team largely split between Shanghai and Shenzhen, Moxian also has plans for expansion into Guangzhou and Shanghai. Its sales team is likely to reach 80+ members by the end of June and 100+ by the end of the year. The company currently has more than 160 employees, of which 60+ are in the research and development department.

Stealth Mobile

Stealth’s latest product offering, Stealth Mobile, was developed to protect the personal and financial information stored on the NFC (Near Field Communication) chip on a consumer’s cell phone. This chip, which allows data to be transferred without the user’s knowledge through the use of common remote access devices, can be protected by adhering Stealth Mobile to the back of a cell phone, neutralizing data theft vulnerability and protecting the consumer’s personal information, messages and financial data that’s currently stored in, and accessible through, his or her cell phone.

These product offerings from Stealth Technologies helped push revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, to $3.3 million, representing a 269 percent increase over 2015 same-period revenues.

National Waste Management Holdings, Inc. (NWMH) Aiming to Become Market Leader via Aggressive Growth and Acquisition Strategy

Florida-based National Waste Management Holdings, Inc. (OTC: NWMH), a professional waste management and recycling operator offering a wide range of relevant services, is one step closer to achieving its declared goal of becoming a market leader via its aggressive acquisition strategy and organic growth, after acquiring another company and successfully expanding its activity in upstate New York. National Waste Management Holdings plans to continue growing at the same pace, as it plans to finalize at least one acquisition per quarter and already has a few acquisitions lined up for the year.

Operating a vertically integrated waste management service, National Waste Management Holdings has been demonstrating impressive growth in operations and revenue, owing primarily to its expansion strategy that allowed it to greatly diversify revenue streams. The company offers various waste management and recycling services, including container, transfer station and landfill services for residential and commercial customers in Florida, and it has plans to expand operations along the entire East Coast. A large segment of the company’s activity is centered around its landfill in Hernando, Florida, which disposes of more than 200,000 cubic yards of construction and demolition debris per year, on average. In addition, the company recycles a significant part of collected C&D debris and now operates roughly 800 containers and 14 roll-off trucks.

National Waste Management Holdings has more acquisitions in the pipeline, including a C&D and Class I Transfer Station in Port Richey, Florida. This transfer station, strategically located between the landfill in Hernando and the company’s roll-off operations in the Tampa Bay area, would allow National Waste Management Holdings to expand its coverage and strengthen its network of services in the area.

The company’s most recent acquisition, that of Kingston, New York-based Northeast Data Destruction and Recycling, LLC, helped to expand its operations to a large market in Upstate New York, stretching from NYC to Albany. The acquisition, closed on December 31, 2016, will allow the company to tap into the cardboard recycling and data destruction services, including document and hard drive destruction. This is not National Waste Management Holdings’ first acquisition in the New York area; back in 2015, it acquired Waste Recovery Enterprises, followed a year later by Sivart Services. The company’s acquisition list for 2015 also included Florida’s Gateway Rolloff Services.

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (CIIX) Aiming to Help Tackle Epilepsy with a CBD Oil-Based Pharmaceutical

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX), a company in the business of providing Chinese-speaking investors with real-time market analysis, commentary, and educational services, recently announced its goals for 2017, stating that it plans to develop a CBD oil-based pharmaceutical that could help with the major problem of epilepsy in China.

CBD, also known as cannabidiol, is one of the most important healing substances in the hemp plant, helping treat inflammation, convulsions, insomnia, anxiety, ulcers, neuropathic pain, and epilepsy, among other medical problems. The difference between CBD and THC is that THC is classified as a federally controlled psychotropic drug, whereas CBD is recognized as not only safe but legal.

In an article entitled ‘Can Cannabis Oil Treat Seizures?’ by ConsumerReports.org (http://dtn.fm/Pab9w), results from clinical studies in which doctors treated patients suffering from seizures with CBD showed that Cannabidiol reduced seizures by a monthly average of 36.5%, five patients no longer had motor seizures, and two patients’ seizures completely stopped.

Despite this, the evidence was deemed insufficient as there was not enough to make a solid case, the studies did not include placebo controls, and certain patients stated that they were taking other anti-epilepsy drugs during the clinical trials. However, although these particular trials were not deemed sufficient to prove CBD could potentially treat epileptic seizures, scientists have growing enthusiasm for the use of cannabidiol as a treatment.

There are now several pharmaceutical companies conducting clinical trials of CBD-based drugs, according to The Pharmaceuticals Journal (http://dtn.fm/hu3sT). These trials will offer guidance on dosage, efficacy, concerns regarding side effects, and the safety of CBD as a form of treatment. With this in mind, ChineseInvestors.com recently launched its own ChineseCBDOil.com website, with the aim of selling CBD oil products to not only clients in the U.S., but also to those on the Chinese mainland.

Although the use of cannabis is not legal in China, CBD is. As a result, the company is acting as a first mover in the market, soon to be offering its own consumer application that will offer Chinese-speaking consumers location-based information about where to buy the products in question. The company plans to acquire formal government approval for its CBD oil-based pharmaceutical to treat epilepsy in the next two to four years.
