Tautachrome Inc. (OTC: TTCM) is an Arizona-based Internet technology development company focused on applying a new type of verification and social capabilities to the fast-growing world of mobile digital imagery. The company and its subsidiaries offer a variety of Internet and digital technologies and services, with their main priority being the development of their proprietary KlickZie mobile imaging platform. KlickZie software is designed to give any smartphone unique image verification and social communication features.

With free KlickZie software, users can take pictures, as well as videos, that can be instantly cloud-locked for permanent verification that they are original, untampered, and not Photoshopped. It’s a one-of-a-kind technology that offers a previously unavailable level of trust and verification to the massive digital image industry, effectively making everyone a trustable image source.

In addition, the technology makes images and videos interactive and engageable in ways never before possible. Simply clicking or tapping a KlickZie’d image allows the user to communicate with the original author. Users can also instantly communicate with anyone else currently viewing the image. Tautachrome considers the KlickZie platform the ‘world’s first imagery-based social portal network’.

The company details the KlickZie user experience as follows:

• Smartphone users download KlickZie’s free software to take their pictures and videos.
• KlickZie pictures and videos are invisibly marked, stored in the KlickZie cloud and guaranteed free from manipulation.
• The cloud will certify the authenticity of any KlickZie picture or video.
• Consumers get a new space of imagery-based socializing, impossible without KlickZie.
• Enterprises get bulletproof, trustable imagery whenever it is needed.

Tautachrome’s stated goal is to become the world’s number one smartphone imaging system, with its patent pending digital imagery capabilities demanded as a standard by everyone. The company sees the user base growing quickly to cover the capacity of the smartphone user space, driven largely by the inherent viral qualities of KlickZie imaging.

Earlier this week, Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX), the world’s premier cryogenic logistics firm, announced a strategic partnership with International Stem Cell Corp. (OTCQB: ISCO) through which it will provide global logistics support for ISCO’s impending Phase I clinical trial of its human parthenogenetic stem cell-derived neural stem cells (ISC-hpNSC) for the treatment of moderate to severe Parkinson’s disease. Cryoport’s strategically located cryogenic facilities in Southern California and Singapore are expected to play a key role in ISCO’s efforts to maintain its cell therapy as it is transported around the globe to the study’s site, Australia’s Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, which is one of the world’s foremost brain research centers.

“This trial will take place across the globe and it is imperative that our cell therapy maintains integrity,” Dr. Russell Kern, executive vice president and chief scientific officer of ISCO, stated in a news release. “We are pleased to have Cryoport handle our global logistics requirements.”

The partnership with Cryoport marks the latest in a collection of recent milestones related to ISCO’s highly-anticipated clinical program. After receiving authorization to initiate a Phase I/IIa clinical trial of ISC-hpNSC from the Therapeutics Goods Administration of Australia in December, the company quickly entered into a master clinical research agreement with the Florey weeks later. In March, ISCO announced its entry into definitive agreements for the private placement of $6.3 million of its convertible preferred stock, along with purchase warrants covering an additional $25.7 million of the company’s common stock, effectively strengthening its cash position in order to fund its Phase I trial. ISCO also commenced enrollment for the study in March, with preliminary clinical data expected as soon as the fourth quarter of this year.

Parkinson’s disease currently affects roughly 6.3 million people around the world, about 15 percent of whom develop the condition before reaching the age of 50, according to data from the European Parkinson’s Disease Association. Parkinson’s is caused by the degeneration of the substantia nigra portion of the brain, which is characterized by its dopaminergic neurons. When these neurons die, the brain becomes deprived of dopamine, resulting in symptoms such as tremors, rigidity and impaired balance. According to the National Parkinson Foundation, approximately 80 percent of all dopamine-producing cells are typically lost before the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease present themselves.

ISCO is taking aim at this devastating condition through the use of regenerative medicine. Through its proprietary ISC-hpNSC product candidate, the company is seeking to introduce a new approach to treating Parkinson’s that involves replacing the dead dopaminergic neurons with healthy neural cells while also protecting the brain by expressing neurotrophic factors. In preclinical testing, the candidate has been shown effective in both alleviating current symptoms and preventing further deterioration.

“There is a large unmet medical need for new treatments that may halt or reverse the progression of Parkinson’s disease and we believe our human neural stem cells may fill this need for the millions of people with this disease,” Dr. Andrey Semechkin, chief executive officer of ISCO, added in a news release.

Content Checked Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CNCK) endeavors to build shareholder value by developing smartphone applications for people faced with dietary restrictions. Central to its efforts is the ContentChecked app, which derives its offering from a supporting database that enables users to scan barcodes affixed to products to determine if they meets their unique dietary preferences. Furthermore, ContentChecked creates personalized recipes, aligned with users’ requirements, which can serve as a handy tool when maneuvering around grocery stores.

CNCK’s differentiator in the marketplace revolves around its proprietary database and the convenience of having it at your fingertips 24 hours a day.

Content Checked’s Registered Dietitian, Tory Tedrow, C.N.S.C., is featured in the piece, stating, “I make sure to stay hydrated. That keeps me from mindlessly snacking, and I think of the extra bathroom trips as added exercise to my day. Most importantly, I remember that in the grand scheme of life, a few days or even weeks of overindulging are not going to make or break my health, weight, or overall wellbeing.”

A press release (http://dtn.fm/eWZO4) issued yesterday by the Commerce Department reported that ‘sales of new single-family houses in April 2016 were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 619,000’. The estimates, prepared jointly by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, indicated that construction of new homes in the U.S. in April 2016 rose almost 17 percent above the March 2016 figure of 531,000, and about 23 percent above the April 2015 number of 500,000. This is good news for eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI) and the over 1,100 agents and brokers who use its avant-garde cloud brokerage.

According to a Trading Economics analysis (http://dtn.fm/9w6EB), this ‘is the highest reading since January of 2008 and the biggest gain since 1992. New home sales in the United States averaged 652,450 from 1963 until 2016, reaching an all time high of 1,389,000 in July of 2005 and a record low of 270,000 in February of 2011.’

‘The median sales price of new houses sold in April 2016 was $321,100’ up by almost 10 percent from a year ago, meaning that half of the newly constructed homes sold in April 2016 had a price tag of over $321,100. The arithmetic average sales price was higher, at $379,800. According to numbers released by the National Association of Home Builders (http://dtn.fm/fOB2E), the 619,000 annual rate of new homes sold in April 2016 comprised 10 percent of the 6,069,000 annual rate of all home sales. The annual rate of existing homes sold in April 2016 was 5,450,000.

These numbers bode well for eXp World Holdings and its wholly-owned eXp Realty subsidiary. A recent research report on eXp World Holdings (http://dtn.fm/O1sMz), issued by Fundamental Research, stated that ‘the U.S. real estate brokerage industry is approximately $62 billion per year… based on the assumption that approximately 90% of the 5.25 million homes are sold through agents at an average price of $0.22 million per house, based on an average commission rate of 6%’. The Commerce Department’s April numbers would raise Fundamental Research’s estimates by about 15 percent.

eXp World Holdings is set to benefit from this resurgence in the residential housing market in two ways. First, its Agent-Owned Cloud Brokerage is attracting realtors in increasing numbers. In March 2016, the number of member agents grew by over 10 percent to more than 1,100, the fastest rate ever, according to CEO Glen Sanford in a MissionIR interview (http://dtn.fm/1wfRf). In 2015, eXp realtors put through 3,667 transactions with a value of $889 million. The company expects that figure to reach $1.5 billion this year. Revenues in 2015 were $22.87 million with gross profit of $3.41 million. As Fundamental Research point out, ‘the company can generate approximately 3% of total transactions in revenues, implying $45 million in revenues from $1.5 billion in transactions a year. Gross margin is estimated to be approximately 15%, implying gross profit of $6.75 million’.

Second, eXp World Holdings owns 90.5 percent of First Cloud Mortgage, Inc., which was set up in July 2015 to originate and provide loan products and services to potential homeowners. First Cloud will act as a mortgage broker, so no proprietary funds of eXp or its subsidiaries will be required. As of March 2016, First Cloud Mortgage was licensed to do business in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas. It has pending applications in Georgia and Virginia. It is expected that First Cloud Mortgage will broker between $50 million and $75 million in loans over the next 12 months and over $100 million in 2017. Gross profit should fall between 1.5% and 3.0% of transactions.

With the technological advancements of today, it is no wonder that companies are offering their employees the opportunity to work remotely. Flexible or remote jobs have come under scrutiny since their recent emergence. Many academics, news reporters, and a variety of organizations have had mixed feelings about this new way of working. Many companies no longer have thousands of employees in an office. They offer their employees a freedom that enables them to pursue their desired lifestyle. Laguna Blends, Inc. (OTC: LAGBF) is one example of this increasingly popular way of running a business.

Laguna Blends is a network marketing company with a focus on functional hemp-based products. LAGBF now has two products: Caffe and Pro369. The company does not manufacture its own products, but it does work with manufacturers, partner researchers, and suppliers to produce white label products under the Laguna Blends brand. Laguna sells products through direct independent sellers in the U.S. and Canada. In a recent initial coverage report by Fundamental Research Corp., the research firm highlighted the fact that the management team at Laguna does not believe that traditional network companies have stayed up-to-date with technology. The report continues to discuss the primary objectives of the platform used by Laguna Blends.

Laguna Blends uses a virtual 3D technology platform that allows its affiliates to train, recruit and generate sales through a fully cloud-based environment. Aside from the fact that this platform allows affiliates to record and track their sales – and allows the company to track the performance of every consultant – it also enables people working for the company to lead a more flexible lifestyle. In other words, they are given the opportunity to work remotely, which means they can do their job and have an income no matter where they are in the world. Laguna is one of the only companies that uses this technology and it believes that it is a huge benefit to their overall operations.

The platform that Laguna has chosen for its business has given its affiliates a number of benefits. Aside from being able to work from the comforts of their own homes, affiliates with children can work while looking after their kids, those with any medical problems are able to continue their careers without worrying about a routine or being in a certain place at a certain time, and consultants can work from wherever they choose. Remote.co, a company that promotes the growth of remote jobs and careers, recently pulled together some data from research about flexible working and produced an article entitled ‘10 Stats About Remote Work’. The article highlights the most interesting findings regarding remote employment, some of which include an increase in worker productivity, lower stress levels, reduction in real estate costs and employee turnover, and a positive impact on the environment.

In a May 16, 2016, press release, Edison Investment Research announced initiation of coverage on International Stem Cell Corp. (OTCQB: ISCO). Edison describes itself as an international equity research firm with over 110 analysts and professionals, working with both large and small companies, as well as investors, wealth managers, private equity and corporate finance houses.

Edison’s focus on International Stem Cell Corp. centers around ISCO’s unique parthenogenetic stem cell technology platform, and its anticipated superior therapeutic potential for addressing health problems, specifically Parkinson’s disease. Parthenogenetic stem cells (hpSC) are generated from unfertilized eggs, meaning no viable human embryo is created or destroyed. The resulting cells thus bypass ethical issues. At the same time, parthenogenetic stem cells express fewer parental histocompatibility antigens, thus offering important immuno-matching advantages and significantly reducing the risk of immune system rejection.

ISCO parthenogenetic stem cells are seen as offering important qualities for the treatment of liver and eye diseases, as well as diseases of the central nervous system such as Parkinson’s. Of primary interest are diseases where, according to ISCO: “cell therapy has been clinically proven, but treatment options are limited by the availability of safe human cells”.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) represents an especially important target market. The Edison report states that:

“As many as 2-3 million people suffer from PD in the US and EU, according to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation (PDF), and there are currently no approved treatments to slow or halt progression of the disease. If ISCO’s treatment proves effective at slowing or halting disease progression, we forecast potential peak sales of $2.8bn based on 2% of existing and 5% of newly diagnosed patients in the US and 1-2% of patients in the EU and RoW receiving treatment.”

The report also points out that ISCO has other commercial operations that leverage its hpSC technology, operations that provide revenue to support continued research into therapeutic applications. According to the report:

“Using a risk-adjusted NPV model, we value the company at $27m or $9.60 per basic share, using a 12.5% discount rate and a 7.5% probability of success for the PD candidate and a 10% discount rate and 90% probability for the skincare and biomedical businesses.”

Grey Cloak Tech, Inc. (OTC: GRCK) is on a mission to revolutionize internet security by overcoming major security concerns, one threat at a time. The company’s debut cloud-based product, Fraudlytic, seamlessly detects, tracks and eliminates digital advertising fraud in all of its forms, including cookie stuffing, ad stacking and domain spoofing. By helping its clients detect non-human online traffic, Grey Cloak is taking aim at an internet security issue that costs unsuspecting advertisers an estimated $8.2 billion each year, according to data from the Interactive Advertising Bureau.

“Online click fraud… is a serious problem affecting too many online marketers,” Fred Covely, chief executive officer of Grey Cloak, stated in a recent news release. “Well-meaning advertisers and agencies may not grasp the extent of the deception because their analytics software is unable to recognize the sophisticated new fraud techniques these nefarious players utilize.”

While use of digital marketing continues to grow at unprecedented rates, the problem of click fraud is keeping pace. In total, some estimates suggest that about 50 percent of digital marketing spending is stolen through some form of click fraud. In a 2015 article on Bloomberg (http://dtn.fm/XS3ib), the damaging effects of bots on some high profile advertising campaigns are highlighted. In 2013, Heineken (OTC: HINKF) unleashed a massive marketing campaign surrounding its change from stubby beer bottles to fashionable long-necks designed to keep the beer cold longer. While television spots posted a return of 6 to 1 or greater for every dollar of ad spending, digital returns topped out at about 2 to 1. After some research, Heineken discovered that only about 20 percent of its served ads were viewed by actual people.

In another high-profile case, executives with Kellogg (NYSE: K) became frustrated with the intrinsically confusing process of digital ad billing and decided to assume direct control of its contracts with ad platforms such as Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO). The multinational food manufacturer started using software similar to Grey Cloak’s Fraudlytic that alerted its team when ads ran on suspect sites that refused third-party validation to screen for fraudulent traffic. The result was a drop of nearly 75 percent in bot traffic and click fraud, as well as a significant jump in returns for its advertising campaigns.

Grey Cloak’s Fraudlytic platform takes the successes of industry giants with in-house fraud management teams and allows smaller firms to experience the benefits without the sizable upfront investment. The company’s cloud-based software monitors clients’ internet traffic in real time in order to block malicious and false clicks while maximizing the effectiveness of their advertising budgets. As digital advertising appears poised to overtake television as the number one destination of marketing dollars by 2019, according to PwC, Grey Cloak is strategically positioned to capitalize on the rising demand for advanced software solutions that help businesses overcome the most costly online security threats.
