OurPet’s Company (OPCO) Combining Record Financial Performance with Continued Innovation to Bolster Leadership Position in Pet Industry

Earlier this month, OurPet’s Company (OTCQX: OPCO) made headlines when it reported record financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The company’s first quarter net revenue increased by 10.3 percent from the previous year, totaling $6.17 million. Similarly, OPCO’s net income rose by 24.7 percent over the previous year to a record total of $266,581. These strong results continue to highlight the company’s success in promoting growth through multiple sales channels. OPCO’s sales through e-commerce channels were up 14 percent over the previous year, while sales through food, drug and mass retail channels grew by eight percent.

“These results reflect our continued ability to successfully execute our business strategy,” Dr. Steven Tsengas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OPCO, stated in a news release. “We are pleased that all major product categories showed a strong performance with Waste & Odor up 64%, Toys/Accessories up 10% and Bowls/Feeders up 9%.”

Despite recording a slim year-over-year decrease in gross profit margin due to product mix, OPCO continues to position itself for sustainable growth by focusing on minimizing overhead costs. The company’s selling, general & administrative expenses as a percentage of total sales dropped by a full percent from the first quarter of 2015, while income from operations increased by 16.5 percent to $415,269. In line with its goal of minimizing costs, OPCO also made progress on an initiative to reduce its inventory below $7 million by the end of the year, dropping inventory from $7.91 million at the beginning of the year to $7.44 million at the end of the first quarter.

While this strong financial growth should be enough to catch the attention of prospective shareholders, OPCO has also unveiled its next innovation in the roughly $62.75 billion pet space. At the Global Pet Expo international trade show in Orlando, Florida, the company introduced its new Intelligent Pet Care™ product line, which leverages Bluetooth and wireless connectivity to enhance the bond between pets and pet owners. The SmartScoop® – Intelligent Litter Box, SmartLink™ Feeder – Intelligent Pet Bowl and SmartLink™ Waterer – Intelligent Water Fountain are specially designed to monitor and wirelessly report on various activities that can be interpreted as indicators of pet health, such as elimination behavior, eating and drinking.

Since its founding in 1995, OPCO has remained dedicated to enhancing the bond between pets and pet parents by marketing high quality, innovative products. Look for the company to continue pursuing this goal as it leans on the tremendous experience of its management team and the marketability of its advanced Intelligent Pet Care™ product line. With strong financial growth and a commitment to the advancement of the industry, OPCO is primed to build on its position as a leader in the global pet market moving forward.

Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. (GIGL) Riding Organic Wave in Restaurant Industry

GIGL

It’s safe to say that demand for organic food has transcended the category of niche and entered into the mainstream. In 1990, domestic sales of organic food and beverages totaled just $1 billion, but, by 2009, that figure had grown to $24.8 billion, according to the American Organic Trade Association. For comparison, the conventional food market grew by less than two percent over the same period. Rising awareness regarding the health benefits of eating organic, along with growing health concerns among consumers, is expected to continue to drive rapid growth for the organic market, with TechSci Research forecasting a compound annual growth rate of over 16 percent for the five-year period ending in 2020.

With consumer preference rapidly shying away from products grown with pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, the restaurant industry has been placed into a state of flux. Data from Statista suggests that more than half of all U.S. consumers reported always trying to eat healthy when visiting restaurants, and an impressive 72 percent of diners were more likely to visit restaurants with healthy options on their menus. Still, at least one in four Americans eat some type of fast food every day, and 20 percent of all American meals are consumed inside of cars, according to a study by Stanford University.

This data seems to suggest a common trend. While Americans want to eat healthier, convenience plays an undeniable role in daily dietary choices. Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. (OTCQB: GIGL) combines convenience with high-end, organic food by offering family-friendly atmosphere and an endless supply of entertainment for young families. With a trip to one of GIGL’s three locations in Greater Los Angeles, parents can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with ensuring that the kids are eating healthy without sacrificing on the convenience that’s attracted people to fast food restaurants for decades. Surveying current market conditions, the company’s management team is now focused on building upon the success of its three locations by entering new markets across the country.

“We recently engaged Chardan Capital as our investment bank to go out and raise some capital for us so that we can expand… to multiple locations throughout the United States,” Joey Parsi, chief executive officer of GIGL, stated in an interview with QualityStocks. “We’re in a very enviable position in… the restaurant world.”

On June 9, 2016, prospective shareholders will have an opportunity to take a more in-depth look at GIGL’s recent success, as well as its plans for the future, when the company presents at the 9th annual LD Micro Conference main event. The event will take place at the Luxe Sunset Bel Air Hotel, which is located just minutes away from GIGL’s Century City location. In a news release, Parsi described the conference as “a great opportunity for us to meet with bankers, brokers, analysts and investors right here in our backyard.”

Alternet Systems, Inc.’s (ALYI) Big Data Division Gives SMEs a Crystal Ball

This month marks the 74th anniversary of the start of publication of a series of short stories that was later compiled into Isaac Asimov’s classic Foundation science fiction trilogy. Asimov’s intensely thought-provoking work is premised on what, today, we know as big data. It is set in the future when humans have colonized the entire Milky Way. The galaxy’s large population numbers make it possible to apply advanced mathematical and statistical techniques to predict mankind’s future. Large numbers make predictions more accurate. Asimov’s insight was that, even though human behavior on an individual level is subject to our idiosyncratic natures, on a group level, it is less so. We know for example that, typically, it is just 10 to 12 percent of the U.S. electorate, the truly independent, who decide presidential elections. Today his vision is becoming reality. Alternet Systems, Inc. (OTC: ALYI) is bringing the power of predictive analytics to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with its recently launched Data Analytics Division.

Fortune telling is now within our purview. Back in 2008, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) acquired Farecast and incorporated into its search engine Bing as a ‘prediction tool that informed travelers of the likelihood that airfare prices would rise or decline’, according to a GeekWire story (http://dtn.fm/2XKpS). An Economist special report, titled ‘Data, data everywhere’ (http://dtn.fm/n9HBn), tells how potential customers of Oakland, California, prostitutes were able to ascertain from published records of arrests when police were likely to sweep the streets of the city. The Economist report goes on to relate that:

‘In 2004 Wal-Mart peered into its mammoth databases and noticed that before a hurricane struck, there was a run on flashlights and batteries, as might be expected; but also on Pop-Tarts, a sugary American breakfast snack. On reflection it is clear that the snack would be a handy thing to eat in a blackout, but the retailer would not have thought to stock up on it before a storm.’ Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT), with its galactic store of information, is able to exploit the potential of big data. Its 2015 Annual Report discloses that, each week, the company serves ‘close to 260 million customers’ in 27 countries. It has some 2.2 million employees, a number that surpasses the population of about 50 countries.

Predictive analytics has also found a place in medicine. In ‘Achieving Small Miracles from Big Data’ (http://dtn.fm/9FBjc), the story of Project Artemis is told. Working in collaboration with IBM, Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children employs the methods of big data in its neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Here, premature babies, weaker than their more developed brethren, are tethered to a battery of medical devices that record heart rate, respiration and other vitals. This data is analyzed by algorithms that predict, in real time, the chances of one or more life-threatening conditions developing. Using machines in this way solves two challenges faced by a human analyst. First, the amount of data generated is overwhelming. The system produces 1,256 readings every second. No human analyst could cope. Second, a human analyst would never be able to devote all of his attention all of the day to one patient in the way this system can. The day of the machines has arrived.

Alternet Systems launched its Data Analytics Division in January 2016. The company provides innovative solutions, particularly to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which facilitate and expedite commerce by enhancing customer experience and improving efficiency. Data analytics is just one of three high-growth markets in which the company plans to invest. The two others are financial technology and payment technology. The company currently generates its revenues from providing consulting services, primarily consisting of management of existing data analytics projects in Colombia and Peru.

JA Solar Holdings Co. Ltd. (JASO) Converting Sunlight into Financial Growth in Competitive Solar Power Space

JA Solar Holdings Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: JASO) is one of the world’s largest producers of solar power products for residential, commercial and utility-scale power generation. Founded in 2005 and based in Shanghai, the company has quickly captured market share in the solar power space through a focus on photovoltaic research and development, a commitment to driving innovation and the consistent manufacture of high-performance solar power products. In just over a decade, JASO quickly grew from an unknown startup to the world’s fourth largest supplier of solar modules in 2015, according to data from PV-Tech (http://dtn.fm/qI4Kh). Currently, the company boasts long standing relationships with leading project developers and global distributors from around the globe, with roughly 64 percent of its 2014 shipments bound for China and Japan, 17 percent for Europe and 6 percent for America.

In March, JASO gave prospective shareholders additional insight into its growth when it announced its unaudited financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (http://dtn.fm/wKgJ4). Total shipments for 2015 were up by 28.8 percent from the previous year, totaling approximately 4.0 gigawatts. The result was a significant spike in net revenue, which climbed from $1.7 billion in FY 2014 to $2.1 billion last year. Net income was also up, with JASO reporting $94.9 million in 2015, compared to $69 million the previous year, for an increase of more than 37 percent.

“Our fourth quarter results continued the momentum we built throughout 2015,” Baofang Jin, chairman and chief executive officer of JASO, stated in a news release. “We fulfilled strong demand across Asia, especially in China, but also made meaningful advances in North America… We expect growth of over 30%, as countries around the world continue to encourage the growth of clean, renewable energy.”

Markets around the world are installing solar power products at record rates. According to data from Texas-based Mercom Capital Group LLC (http://dtn.fm/0R8xG), new installations are expected to climb to 64.7 gigawatts in 2016, up from 57.8 gigawatts in 2015. The report goes on to highlight China as the largest solar market in the world, with forecasts calling for approximately 19.5 gigawatts installed in 2016, pushed forward by rising government installation targets. Strong growth is also expected in Japan, as the country continues to shift its energy mix to include more renewables while cutting back on the use of nuclear energy. With sizable market share in two of the world’s three largest solar markets, JASO is strategically positioned for strong financial growth in the months to come by continuing to bolster its reputation as a leader in the solar power industry.

“We are able to capture this market growth due to our industry-leading reputation for quality and value,” continued Jin. “We intend to aggressively protect that reputation through our ongoing investment in research and marketing.”

Hanwha Q CELLS Co. Ltd. (HQCL) Leveraging Expansive Global Presence to Promote Rapid Growth in Solar Industry

Hanwha Q CELLS Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: HQCL) is one of the world’s largest and most recognizable manufacturers of high-efficiency solar cells and modules. With headquarters in both Seoul, South Korea, and Thalheim, Germany, along with a diverse collection of manufacturing facilities spanning Korea, Malaysia and China, HQCL is strategically positioned to address rising solar demand in markets around the globe. The company’s product line includes a full spectrum of photovoltaic products, applications and solutions, ranging from solar modules and kits to large scale solar power plants. HQCL is also engaged in downstream development and EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) business.

HQCL originally burst onto the global solar scene in February 2015 as the result of a merger of two of the world’s most recognized photovoltaic manufacturers, Hanwha SolarOne and Hanwha Q CELLS. Since the merger, the combined company has leaned on a diverse international production footprint and respected ‘Engineered in Germany’ technology to seamlessly address all global markets while promoting rapid financial growth. In March, HQCL offered additional insight into its financial performance when it released its financial results for the 2015 fiscal year. Of particular note, the company’s total module shipments exceeded 3,300 MW, which was an increase of 60 percent from the combined 2,065 MW the two businesses shipped pre-merger in 2014. Net income attributable to HQCL’s ordinary shareholders was $44 million for FY 2015.

“We are pleased to report a successful, transitional financial and operational results for full year 2015 highlighted by a return to net profitability and record high total module shipments as we celebrate the first full year since the merger between former Hanwha SolarOne and Hanwha Q Cells Investment,” Seong-woo Nam, chairman and chief executive officer of HQCL, stated in a news release. “We have started 2016 with the strongest foundation in the Company’s history as we continue to enhance our core competitiveness in terms of manufacturing cost, operational efficiencies, product quality and technology.”

In recent months, HQCL has continued to capitalize on its status as a globally recognized brand while turning its attention toward the future of the solar industry. In April, the company announced its entry into a 5-year supply agreement with 1366 Technologies, Inc., a leading developer of practical manufacturing solutions that increase the efficiency of solar supply chains. Under the terms of this agreement, HQCL will purchase up to 700 MW of wafers manufactured with 1366’s proprietary Direct Wafer™ technology, a transformative manufacturing process offering significant cost savings over traditional cast-and-saw wafer production technologies. The deal followed a year-long strategic partnership between the companies focused on commercializing Direct Wafer™ technology.

“This agreement aligns with our continuing efforts to bring about world leading technologies that enable solar energy to be more competitive and more affordable,” Nam stated. “We are pleased with the progress we have made together during the past year and excited about the potential of 1366’s Direct Wafer™ products with Hanwha’s cell and module technologies to deliver further cost reductions and LCOE competitiveness to standard multi-crystalline wafer-based modules.”

With an established and growing foothold in major solar markets around the globe, HQCL is primed to benefit from the strong performance of the solar power space moving forward. According to Mercom Capital Group (http://dtn.fm/0R8xG), global installations of solar photovoltaic systems are expected to exceed 64.7 gigawatts this year, led by strong growth in China, the United States and Japan.

Moxian, Inc. (MOXC) Aiming for a NASDAQ Upgrade Following Successful Start to 2016

Based in Shenzhen, China, Moxian, Inc. (OTCQB: MOXC) is one of the leading O2O platforms in the world. In short, MOXC provides social media marketing and promotional tools that are designed to help companies grow their business through social media. The services MOXC provides allow businesses to build specific, targeted campaigns designed to increase interaction with their customers. Moxian now has two products on the market: the Moxian+ User App and the Moxian+ Business App.

The Moxian+ Business App is an easy way for companies to interact with their consumers on a deeper level. It gives merchants a range of business tools, automatic data capturing tools, a loyalty program, and advertising opportunities. On the other hand, the Moxian+ User App is there for customers to collect points, play games, and interact on social media platforms. With this, they receive a personalized media profile where they can search for merchants near them, communicate with friends, win gifts through games, and even shop in Moxian’s virtual mall. MOXC is aiming to create and lead a personalized social media platform for businesses and users.

In January 2016, Moxian announced the launch of its new subsidiary, Moxian Technologies (Beijing) Co Ltd., also referred to as Moxian Beijing. Moxian Beijing’s key purpose is to increase MOXC’s sales in Beijing and Mainland China. To do this, Moxian Beijing has been driving merchants and consumers to its social media marketing and promotion platform. Soon after the launch of Moxian Beijing, the subsidiary entered into a five-year cooperation agreement with Xinhua New Media Culture Communication Co. Ltd. as the exclusive reseller of its advertising space in the gaming industry.

In addition to this exciting start to 2016, Moxian is doing everything it can to drive itself toward a NASDAQ upgrade later this year. James Tan, chairman and CEO of Moxian, stated during an interview with Asia Fund Space: “We believe that the OTC Board and NASDAQ offer better opportunities for us at this point in our development. We liken ourselves to Facebook of a few years ago which had no revenue at the time, but now that we are trading in New York, it allows us to better showcase our future earnings potential to a wider group of investors”.

According to Tan, Moxian decided to list in New York, as it believes investors are more informed about technological potential of companies so listed. Currently, Moxian is trading on the OTCQB Venture Marketplace, which is a listing for early entrepreneurial and development international companies. The combination of both the company’s recent partnership with Xinhua New Media Culture Communication Co. Ltd. and its aspirations to upgrade to NASDAQ will not only open new revenue avenues, but also enable MOXC to showcase its future financial reports to a larger and more diverse group of investors, helping the company grow year by year.

Fundamental Research Corp. Gives eXp World Holdings, Inc. (EXPI) Highest Equity Rating in Initial Coverage

eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI) is the holding company for eXp Realty LLC, a fully cloud-based U.S. real estate brokerage company. Due to its cloud-based environment, EXPI is able to run with significantly lower costs thanks to the lack of brick and mortar locations and redundant staffing costs. eXp World Holdings, Inc. offers its brokerage agents a number of opportunities not found within other companies. These include services such as training, education, coaching, technical support, and much more. All of these services also run online, giving agents the opportunity to take part or use them whenever it best suits them.

This year, eXp Realty LLC was ranked among the top 50 real estate brokerages in the U.S. based on agent count. At the beginning of 2016, EXPI reached over 1,000 agents. Today, the company has over 1,100 agents, and this count is still growing. EXPI’s revenue has grown significantly over the past five years, with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) increase of 53% between 2011 and 2015. On April 12, 2016, Fundamental Research Corp. initiated coverage on eXp World Holdings, Inc.

Research done by Fundamental Research Corp. (FRC) is being used by some of the largest investors in the world. FRC’s research is detailed, of high ethical standards and provides a mound of information to a wide spread audience. In short, FRC is a research firm that markets its findings in order to educate people on a variety of companies. In April, FRC gave EXPI a BUY equity rating with a fair value estimate of $3.35 per share. The report goes into detail about the estate brokerage industry, the real estate industry, the housing market and the need for real estate brokers.

In addition to this information, FRC goes into detail about eXp World Holdings as a company and shares information about how EXPI works through a cloud-based environment. Unlike other real estate brokerage companies, EXPI’s virtual system also includes a number of other features enabling agents to continue their personal growth and interact with one another on a daily basis. This cloud-based system has enabled EXPI to grow from a few agents in Washington and Arizona to thousands across 35 states of the U.S. and Alberta, Canada.

Despite Fundamental Research Corp. only giving eXp World Holdings, Inc. a “Speculative” Risk Rating due to the fact that the company is new in nature and still in the growth phase, EXPI has grown enormously since its foundation in 2009. Although the real estate brokerage industry is extremely competitive, EXPI has established itself strongly and aims to grow to over 1,800 agents by the end of 2016 and to over 3,500 agents by the end of 2017. Since the beginning, eXp World Holdings, Inc. has generated positive free cash flows and has maintained a healthy balance sheet with no debt. In addition to this, gross profits for EXPI grew from $0.79 million in 2011 to $3.41 million in 2015.

Content Checked’s (CNCK) Deep Bench of Insiders & Mounting Media Exposure Paves the Way for its Dietary Smartphone Apps

Since the Company’s founding in 2013 by veteran investor and current CEO, Kris Finstad, Content Checked Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CNCK) has continued to build its management team and Board of Directors that have served its business development interests quite well. The deep bench of expertise that the Company currently draws on has enabled Content Checked to not only prime its apps for success via insights into emerging sector opportunities, as well as help the brand secure media exposure, but also land strategically important partnerships within the broader food, health/wellness and nutrition industry.

According to FARE’s analysis of CDC data, around eight percent of children have food allergies, with the youngest being affected the most, and food allergies may be the trigger for other allergic conditions as well. The idea that this potentially deadly disease impacts as many as one out of every 13 kids in the country (that’s approximately two in every classroom) and looks to be steadily on the rise, is staggering indeed.

However, Content Checked may have developed a big part of the solution with its apps, an idea which is all the more compelling when one considers a recent study by the American Academy of Pediatrics (http://dtn.fm/FxjB4), which looked at mobile device use among children, and indicated that around 75 percent of 4-year-olds have access to smartphones. The increasing ubiquity of smartphones is setting the stage for a future where Content Checked’s apps could be a familiar and everyday experience.

Domestic traction for the Company’s apps has been significant, but CNCK continues to double down on the global potential for its creations, with a recent addition to its Board of Advisors including international and domestic business law firm Fredricks & von der Horst’s managing attorney, Dennis Fredricks, Esq. He is well known for his talks in Los Angeles on commercial law and comparative law between U.S. and E.U. jurisdictions. The extensive international experience Fredricks possesses in tech and other industries should be a huge asset to the viral potential of Content Checked’s growing family of apps, which focus on providing comprehensive and accurate product content information to consumers.

The Company’s smartphone apps are designed to help consumers with dietary restrictions avoid dangerous and unwanted foods, drawing on a database of direct manufacturer data covering approximately 70 percent of all conventional U.S. products. The ContentChecked, MigraineChecked and SugarChecked apps handshake with the evolving social/digital landscape of big data marketing and analytics while readily and effectively creating a marketplace where consumers can go beyond simple avoidance and are actively prompted to make healthier choices.
