Anavex Life Sciences Corp. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of novel drug candidates to treat central nervous system diseases and various types of cancer. The company’s lead drug candidate, ANAVEX 2-73, is currently being studied in a phase IIa clinical trial for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. In preclinical studies, Anavex’s groundbreaking candidate demonstrated the potential to halt and reverse the course of this life-threatening condition. Additionally, the company was recently awarded a research grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to begin development of ANAVEX 2-73 for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.

“We are pleased with our progress to date,” Christopher U. Missling, president and chief executive officer of Anavex, stated in a news release. “Our phase IIa clinical trial of ANAVEX 2-73 for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease is progressing on schedule, with PART A expected to be completed by the end of the year.”

The company is also studying the effectiveness of ANAVEX 2-73 in combination with donepezil or Aricept®. In clinical tests, the drug combination, which is referred to as ANAVEX PLUS, produced up to 80 percent greater reversal of memory loss in Alzheimer’s disease models than when the drugs were used individually. Since donepezil is already on the market and recording global sales of $4 billion annually, ANAVEX PLUS is believed to be a compelling commercial opportunity for the company. Anavex has already filed a patent application for ANAVEX PLUS that, if granted, will provide protection for the promising drug combination until at least 2033.

Through the development of ANAVEX 2-73 and ANAVEX PLUS, Anavex is addressing a collection of indications with significant unmet medical need. In the case of Alzheimer’s, the Alzheimer’s Association reports that the disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, as well as the only cause of death in the top 10 that can’t currently be prevented, cured or slowed. Likewise, as many as one million Americans live with Parkinson’s disease, leading to a combined cost of approximately $25 billion per year in the United States alone, according to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation.

As of June 30, Anavex reported approximately $8 million in cash and cash equivalents, which it estimates to be sufficient for the next two years of ongoing operations and the advancement of clinical trial work. This strong cash position, in combination with its promising development pipeline, makes Anavex a highly intriguing investment opportunity moving forward. Look for the company to build on its recent progress as it continues toward the completion of its ongoing phase IIa clinical trial in the months to come.

Oakridge Global Energy Solutions is an integrated energy storage solutions company that uses state-of-the-art technology to design and develop advanced, high-quality cells, batteries and power systems. The company’s strategy is to deliver innovation while simultaneously refining an industrial scale platform featuring multiple lithium ion technologies and form factors that are optimized to address a variety of key markets – including stationary and grid storage; motive applications, such as electric and hybrid electric fleet vehicles; government applications, including military, aerospace, marine, civil and municipal; and special applications, such as medical and telecom.

In June, the company completed a detailed restructuring of its operations focused on expanding its market reach through the addition of improved service and technology solutions. In addition to a new name and updated corporate branding, Oakridge announced the commencement of full-scale operations at its two manufacturing plants in Melbourne, Florida, which will be instrumental to its ongoing efforts to meet the growing demand for its cutting-edge large format Pro Series golf car batteries, as well as its small format Patriot Series RC batteries.

“Over the last year and a half, we have been quietly rebuilding our company for the global launch of a range of new ‘Made in the USA’ battery products to meet the customer backlog that we now have,” Steve Barber, executive chairman and chief executive officer of Oakridge, stated in a news release regarding the restructuring. “Our new brand captures our global presence, our commitment to excel in customer service, and the high quality of the products that we are able to provide.”

In addition to promoting domestic growth, Oakridge has made considerable progress toward expanding its presence on the international energy storage stage in recent months. The company’s recently formed subsidiary, Oakridge Global Energy Solutions Limited, Hong Kong, is expected to play a major role in its global growth strategy by serving as the foundation for sales throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

“We are incredibly excited about this new subsidiary given the tremendous demand we’ve seen for our products internationally,” continued Barber. “We’ve been working toward a global launch of a range of new battery products and this subsidiary will play an instrumental role in that launch in a range of important ways.”

Bolstering this international progress, the company also acquired a substantial interest in Leclanche S.A., a Swiss developer and manufacturer of large-sized lithium ion batteries originally founded in 1909. This investment is expected to strengthen Oakridge’s existing capability while immediately enhancing its global footprint. The company plans to leverage the momentum provided by this acquisition as it looks to uplist to the NASDAQ capital markets in ‘the very near future’.

WRIT Media Group, through wholly-owned subsidiary Retro Infinity, Inc., is giving nostalgic gamers a chance to secure early access to its expansive catalog of classic video games. Through the launch of a new campaign on crowdfunding site Kickstarter, the company is closing in on the official debut of its proprietary gaming technology. Following launch, the Retro Infinity Player will enable users to enjoy a full library of classic games originally developed for platforms such as Amiga and Atari on a variety of modern media devices – including smartphones, tablets and set-top streaming devices. According to Statista, the U.S. market for mobile games is expected to surpass $3 billion this year, up nearly 50 percent from 2013. This market performance makes it an ideal time for WRIT to reintroduce its library of titles.

“Retro Infinity’s expertise and niche focus is a key factor in allowing us to bring our Amiga classic titles and other classic brands to these various platforms and to the retro gamer,” Eric Mitchell, president of WRIT, stated in a news release. “We are excited to introduce our best classic titles to both an old and new generation of players.”

The costs associated with the development of original mobile games can exceed $1 million, which, when combined with the two-to-three year development timeline, means that a single unsuccessful title can be enough to sink a game developer. By leveraging a library of proven titles that were wildly popular following initial release in the ‘80s and ‘90s, WRIT is able to avoid these risks while continuing to capitalize on the popularity of mobile gaming. The company’s licensed titles are time-tested, simple and play well on both small and large screens. Since many of its games were originally developed for the same platforms, WRIT will be able to minimize development costs while releasing a larger collection of titles that have established market appeal.

ContentChecked Holdings is the parent company of a family of mobile applications designed for individuals with specific dietary requirements. Since the official U.S. launch of its first app in early 2015, ContentChecked has continued to build its database of product information obtained from food manufacturers – the database now incorporates 70% of all conventional U.S. products, fully supporting the needs of ContentChecked customers.

Consumers register their food allergies or intolerances with ContentChecked, and simply scan the bar codes of whichever items they are considering purchasing. The app then provides users with information on what products fit their pre-set requirements. This connection between food producers and users is the basis of the ContentChecked business model – a highly engaged consumer, ready to buy, and in need of recommendations.

By initially focusing upon food allergies and intolerances, ContentChecked had access to a marketplace of more than 15 million people in the United States that suffer from food allergies, in addition to a demographic who develop stomach problems as a result of different foods. Though the overall market for food allergies and intolerances is valued at $13 billion in 2015, ContentChecked further expanded its market reach through the launch of MigraineChecked, SugarChecked and VeganChecked applications.

With these offerings, ContentChecked’s market reach now extends to the roughly 38 million people in the United States currently diagnosed with migraines; as well as to the largest health-related cost in the country: the 97 million people at risk of developing, or have already developed, Type 2 diabetes. ContentChecked’s growth is spearheaded by a talented team of professionals using their experience in entrepreneurial endeavors, sales, marketing and advisory services, nutrition, web design, social media and graphics and data management to help users better manage their food allergies, migraines, and overall health.
