Arkanova Energy Corp. (OTC: AKVA) is an exploration and junior production company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties. Through the use of science driven data and extensive industry experience, the company is currently leveraging working interests in both Montana and Colorado.

The company’s primary leasehold lies in the Cut Bank Sand formation of Montana. Spanning across Pondera and Glacier Counties, the oil and natural gas resource features oil bearing sands ranging in thickness from 0 to 52 feet. The Two Medicine Cut Bank Sand Unit (TMCBSU) is an extension of this leasehold acquired by Arkanova in 2008. This property contains 34 active wells, in addition to a collection of well bores set for completion and activation at a later date. With an estimated 21 million tank barrels of oil in place throughout the area, Arkanova is in a strong position to increase production as market value rises in the future.

In September 2014, Arkanova announced that it had received a well permit from the EPA, which enabled the installation of an injection plant and pipeline on the company’s TMCBSU lease acreage. This installation will allow the company to reactivate waterflood operations as necessary, effectively increasing production totals based on market demand.

In addition to TMCBSU, the company’s Colorado leasehold has shown great promise for future production. The acreage features a primary interval approximately 100 feet thick that’s currently accessible through an existing well. According to the company’s test results, the prospect has the potential to support multiple vertical or horizontal wells, giving Arkanova the means for potentially significant boosts to production levels as oil prices begin to rebound. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the Paradox Basin, of which the company’s working interest is a part, likely holds more than 500 million barrels of oil and more than one trillion cubic feet of gas.

As oil prices begin to rise following a drop in inventory, Arkanova is in a strong position to leverage its existing reserves to promote strong returns in the years to come. Look for the company to rely on experience, science and proven growth strategies in order to continuously balance its risk/reward portfolio and grow its market share moving forward.

Britannia Mining, Inc. (OTC: BMIN) is a natural resources development company focused on acquiring high quality commodity-based projects. In an effort to capitalize on demand, the company has placed a significant focus on precious stones in recent months.

“Our portfolio of tradable commodities has realized a very strong demand for precious stones,” stated Kenneth Roberts, Chief Executive Officer of Britannia. “This has initiated the recent activity of our buy/sell commodities’ trading division to procure the commodity and facilitate the transaction for qualified buyers and sellers throughout the world.”

In December, the company announced that it had made an initial shipment of raw, uncut diamonds to an international inspection facility, putting the wheels in motion on a contract with significant upside for the growing development company. In addition to an anticipated $1.2 million in profit from the completion of the initial contract, Britannia’s leadership has highlighted the potential availability of several multi-million dollar contracts to the company’s trading division. In total, precious stone transactions look to be a promising addition to the company’s established commodity offerings.

“[T]he money generated on this transaction is just a prelude to what we further envision for 2015,” continued Roberts. “We have established a great team; our combined experience enables us to deliver precious products from one continent to another, within a total transit time of one week.”

In addition to the shipment of precious stones, Britannia is currently involved with mineral exploration activities in the African nation of Malawi. In 2009, the company was granted exclusive prospecting licenses to conduct mineral exploration activities near the city of Blantyre. Completed magnetic imaging studies have shown promise of significant iron ore deposits, and Britannia is currently focused on fast-track drilling to extract necessary core samples at the site. Upon completion of exploration activities, close access to an existing railway link to the Indian Ocean should help ensure healthy returns for investors.

While exploration activities persist in Africa, Britannia has leveraged ready mined iron ore stock piles from Malaysia to secure revenue and promote growth. This opens the door for unbound distribution possibilities moving forward, as well as providing the potential for considerable returns for stockholders in the short term.

GeoTraq is a location-based services (LBS) technology provider established to manufacture and sell cellular transceiver modules enabled by Cell-ID. The company’s proprietary technology addresses an unmet need in the large LBS market segment. With the small size, low cost and low battery consumption of Cell-ID modules, location tags implementing GeoTraq’s modules can be smaller, less expensive and operate over longer periods of time than those using more traditional cellular modules.

“Cell-ID modules will allow companies to deploy extremely small tracking tags worldwide and locate them with a click of a button,” stated Gregg Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer of GeoTraq.

In May, the company announced the successful production of the world’s first Cell-ID module. Named the G-200 2G GSM Quad-Band Cell-ID Module, the device is designed specifically for integration into location and tracking devices that require worldwide tracking and long battery life. The technology serves as a ‘registration only’ cellular module that doesn’t support voice or data services, but the ability to register on nearly every GSM cellular network on the planet opens the door for huge possibilities going forward. GeoTraq’s new module is the first that will allow wireless device integrators to design Cell-ID enabled location products, which could serve significant sectors in the commercial, industrial and consumer markets.

“This is a huge milestone for GeoTraq,” continued Sullivan. “Our new G-200 2G Quad-Band Cell-ID Module will be capable of registering on over 1,200 cellular carriers throughout the world allowing it to be located practically anywhere.”

Cell-ID technology addresses a large portion of the LBS market that’s currently under-served. Traditional solutions are severely limited by a host of factors. In the case of RFID and Wi-Fi, the requirement for close proximity to a network makes global tracking difficult. In the case of GPS, bulky size and excessive power consumption limit applications. Using Cell-ID technology, tracking devices can circumvent proximity needs while maintaining battery life for years following initial deployment.

In February, GeoTraq teamed with iTraq, the world’s first global location device using cellular towers, to bring this revolutionary technology to consumers. This purchase order, which was for 30,000 Cell-ID modules, will serve as a powerful proof of concept for the company’s technology moving forward.

As GeoTraq moves closer to full scale commercialization of its Cell-ID module, it’s an exciting time for investors of this development stage company. The company anticipates that it will recognize revenue for its tracking devices in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year (ending July 31, 2015), opening the door for strong growth in the years to come.

One World Holdings has had an impressive run so far this year, moving at a considerable pace to expand the visibility and availability of its Prettie Girls! Dolls line. The achievements didn’t go unnoticed in the investment world, with the company’s stock increasing as much as 700%.

The activity kicked off in January when the company’s One World Doll Project launched a line of apparel and accessories to further expand the Prettie Girls! brand through the company’s retail website, www.oneworlddollshop.com. The expansion got the ball rolling for what would be a flurry of activity.

The following month, One World fully leveraged its partnership with legendary doll designer Robert Tonner and released images of its new product line co-developed with the Tonner Doll Company.

Shortly after, One World received its first order through Amazon.com and made the first of several media appearances that included CEOLIVE.TV and Huffington Post. This exposure was in addition to the company’s previous coverage on CNN, The Toy Insider Magazine, Parade.com, the Houston Chronicle, and many outlets.

By late March the company had made advances on its capital position. One World reported that since January it had raised $648,000 from a group of private investors and obtained purchase order funding commitments up to an additional $950,000. The funding provided the company with the capital needed to carry out the national expansion of its Prettie Girls! and Prettie Girls! Tween Scene dolls into big box retail stores, and assisted in the elimination of toxic debt.

Most recently, in April, One World reported its 2014 results and issued its expectations for the rest of 2015. One World posted 2014 annual revenue at $109,520, a year-over-year improvement of 532% as compared to $20,549 in 2013. The year-over-year growth is consistent with the company’s previous 2014 quarterly performance improvements.

“We are pleased to report strong revenue growth in 2014 and with our recent announcement of a retail partnership with Walmart we look forward to a significant increase in sales revenues for 2015,” One World Holdings CEO Joanne Melton stated in the news release. “It has already been a big year for us and as we continue to expand the Prettie Girls! brand across the nation, we expect to see even more sales performance as the 2015 Christmas season draws closer.”

One World has established distribution deals with Toys “R” Us, HEB, dollgenie.com, Tuckers Toy Shop, pattycakedoll.com, WalMart.com, and has recently expanded its retail presence internationally with the People’s Pharmacy storechain in the Central American country of Belize. Looking at the multiple milestones achieved in 2015 thus far, the company appears to firmly remain on track to fulfill its nationwide distribution expansion initiatives.

With the 19th annual East Coast Gaming Congress & iGaming Institute conference, the industry’s second largest, having just wrapped up in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and the subject of legalized internet gambling across Delaware, New Jersey and Nevada having been a hot topic of discussion, the mobile compliance gaming advantages of Consorteum Holdings’ (OTC: CSRH) Universal Mobile Interface (UMI) platform have come back into focus. With New Jersey and Delaware now in their second year of regulated iGaming and proponents in Delaware fighting hard to get sports betting pushed through, even as states like Pennsylvania and New York are both moving legislatively to embrace iGaming and sports betting, Morgan Stanley’s report from September of 2014 projecting that the U.S. market for online gambling could hit $5.2 billion by 2020 is looking more and more to be right on the money.

Consorteum’s wholly-owned ThreeFiftyNine, Inc. (359) subsidiary, which is known for their KenoUSA Android app on Google Play, developed in agreement with keno gaming service
provider and keno product manufacturer XpertX, has a wealth of experience leveraging their thin client application UMI architecture for executing mobile solutions in this area. In fact, 359’s software team was responsible for the first ever regulatory-compliant mobile platform for delivering third party gaming content to have been successfully vetted by the extremely rigorous Nevada Gaming Board. The UMI is a powerhouse platform architecture for this space too, as thin client cloud-enabled apps provide numerous performance benefits over native apps, offloading much of the heavy lifting to remote servers and freeing up resources on the end user’s device. Ultimately, this allows for a much more vibrant and rich interactive game to be created, as the end user’s device has less of a computational and display burden to shoulder.

Moreover, the company’s UMI solution, in addition to having the client server handle lottery and/or game content, allows the content to be displayed correctly and in the proper resolution, irrespective of the user’s device. This same capability is what makes the UMI great for a variety of other roles in the mobile space, whether its bringing a company and their brand presence to the maximum number of users via rich apps, or executing complex solutions for banking, ecommerce, healthcare, and even government markets. The ability to land presence on over 1.5k devices or more, with consistent display performance and design realization intact, and all without the need to write additional code or patch the end user’s client, is an advantage that makes CSRH’s UMI an easy pick for developers when it comes to mobile compliance gaming – but the robust and proven geo-location, geo-fencing and security features are what really sets the platform apart in this space.

Mobile compliance gaming is a market with lots of room to grow too. In New Jersey revenues from online gaming already run in the neighborhood of around $120 million, ten times more than in Nevada, where brick and mortar gambling is still king. But we all know what operations like Netflix and Amazon Prime have done to the brick and mortar video rental space, and while the obvious secondary appeal factors for casinos won’t be disappearing anytime soon the way Blockbuster stores have. The attractiveness of tax revenues for state legislators, combined with the ability to gamble for real money from increasingly ubiquitous smartphone and tablet users, will likely drive the industry forward rapidly in coming years, despite a few crusty old holdout politicians, mired in antiquated ideas and praxis left over from before the advent of smartphone and tablet computing. Take a moment to really think about how Apple’s iTunes and downloadable music has forever changed the music industry, how OTAs (online travel agencies) have changed the nature of travel, or how online brokerages like TD Ameritrade have revolutionized trading, and you can start to really get a handle on what the future of regulated online gambling might look like.

With Nevada and Delaware already engaged in an online poker liquidity-sharing compact, the writing is on the wall for the future of the industry. In California, recent estimates on the potential size of the regulated online poker market range as high as $1.3 billion (Capitol Matrix). With the average of estimates from a wide variety of sources coming in closer to the $215 million mark for the first year, and around $310 million a year thereafter, the decision over whether or not to allow regulated online gambling an easy one for state legislatures to make, especially considering the tax revenues that could be collected, as well as jobs that could be created. What’s not so easy is resolving issues like app-specific geo-fencing requirements, needed to ensure that users are gaming from within a regulated location.

Luckily this is an area where CSRH’s technology has the upper hand, having already been fully vetted by the gold standard of industry regulators, the Nevada Gaming Commission and State Gaming Control Board, as validated via Stations Casino’s Sportsbook app implementation. The company’s technology uses the native geo-location functionality of the end user’s requisitely un-jailbroken mobile device to circumvent spoofing, making it a comfortable choice for developers who want to push rich content to users, and not worry about violating regulatory compliance.

Morgan Stanley sees the possibility of exponential growth in this industry over the next several years and, as was the case during the gold rush era, its companies like CSRH, focused on selling the equivalent of picks and shovels, who will see some of the most substantial long-term upside. Giving third party developers and casinos a platform they can use to easily implement and maintain a compliant gaming solution for their customers, is a great way to win big as the trend towards regulated internet gambling evolves further. And because CSRH’s thin client approach opens up the broadest possible end user device spectrum to developers, the process of natural technology selection substantially favors UMI-based deployments.
