Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. (OTCQB: GIGL) has created quite a buzz on the LA celebrity circuit. Sandra Bullock has been seen at one of their restaurants, and so have Heidi Klum, Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck, Dennis Quaid, Mark Whalberg, Adam Sandler, and the graduate, Dustin Hoffman. They’re there for the good food and great atmosphere for their kids. They’re there for the ambiance, too. All that, and more, can be found at any one of Giggles N’ Hugs’ three locations, but healthy foods and an exuberant atmosphere are not all the company has to offer. Giggles N’ Hugs is serving up margins fat enough to tickle any appetite.

In the company’s latest Quarterly Report 10-Q filing, figures for the nine months to September 27, 2015, reveal some tantalizing details. Net sales for that 9-month period were $2,650,290, but the company’s cost of sales for food and beverage amounted to just $631,603, or about 24 percent of revenues. Those results indicate a very healthy gross profit margin of 76 percent. For fine-dining restaurants, the average is 60 percent, according to CEO and president of National Food Service Advisors, Kevin Moll, as reported on Chron, the website of The Houston Chronicle. It seems the Giggles N’ Hugs team has found the right recipe for success.

Joey Parsi founded Giggles N’ Hugs in 2007. His vision was for an establishment that would cater to the needs of parents as well as their kids. It would be a Chuck E. Cheese for the next generation. Giggles N’ Hugs restaurants offer a variety of healthy foods. Parents can relax and eat while their kids have an adventure in the play areas with giant climbers, dragons, castles, pirate ships, slides, swings and lots of other toys. At Giggles N’ Hugs, there are also nightly shows and concerts which are complemented with activities such as face painting, disco dance parties, karaoke, games, arts and crafts, and much more. Plus, since it knows how to take care of kids, Giggles N’ Hugs will keep yours safe for up to three hours while you shop or go for a meal.

At present, the Giggles N’ Hugs magic can be found at three locations. There’s a Giggles N’ Hugs at Westfield Mall in Century City on Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles. There’s another at Westfield Topanga Shopping Center in Woodland Hills, Canoga Park, and a third in the Glendale Galleria. The company also plans to license the Giggles N’ Hugs brand. Look out for the name on clothes, toys, a frozen food line, and vitamin water for kids.

Harold Geneen, the legendary manager who built ITT into a billion dollar business, liked to compare his management style to cooking, saying, “You have to check the fire, watch the pot, add the right amount of seasoning and dip a finger in to taste the stew.” It’s a job for an expert chef. At Giggles N’ Hugs, there’s no shortage of expert chefs, whether they’re cooking or managing.

The degree of visual enhancement in film and TV during recent years has been astounding. With Digital Cinema Initiatives 4K standard in theatres and 4K UHD at home, as well as a resurgence of 3D stereoscopic films in theatres using technologies like RealD 3D (NYSE: RLD), Dolby 3D (NYSE: DLB) and IMAX 3D (NYSE: IMAX), films look better than ever on the big, and small(er) screen. Similar innovations in the world of audio, led by top players such as Dolby, DTS (NASDAQ: DTSI) and Sony (NYSE: SNE), have allowed for an unprecedented level of acoustical richness and fidelity, resulting in viewer immersion horizons unimaginable to previous generations.

However, even as consumers start to get their hands on technologies like Oculus VR’s Oculus Rift head-mounted display, or the comparable virtual reality device developed in collaboration with Samsung (OTC: SSNLF), the Gear VR, there is one dimension of sense perception that has yet to see similar advancements: touch-feel. This is where pioneering haptic-tactile (of or relating to the sense of touch) technology developer Guitammer (OTCQB: GTMM) really shines, with a rapidly emerging brand presence driven by its portfolio of patented and patent pending broadcast technologies like the award-winning line of ButtKicker low frequency audio transducers. Haptic-tactile events experienced by viewers may have a visual and auditory portion to them, but Guitammer takes it that extra step and really puts viewers in the game, or lets them experience movies in a whole new way by letting them “feel” the impact of a hockey player getting checked into the boards, or the force of an explosion narrowly escaped by their favorite heroes.

Guitammer’s dynamic haptic event transmission technology is now coming to more theatres across the U.S. than ever before, on the back of a sweeping new deal with AMC Theatres (NYSE: AMC) which will expand the company’s installed footprint of ButtKicker-enabled theatres via 34 new deployments, more than doubling GTMM’s existing install base with AMC. President of GTMM, Mark Luden, was keen to point out how mounting order growth among theatres is driven by audience/proprietor receptivity to this innovative technology, which allows viewers to actually experience haptic events physically. As this new feature picks up steam, with more and more theatregoers actively seeking out this enticing and hitherto unexperienced dimension of film, the potential upside for GTMM as the leading hardware provider is quite significant.

This is especially true when one considers that, globally, total filmed entertainment revenue is estimated by PwC as being on-track to experience a CAGR of 4.1 percent through 2019, hitting upwards of $104 billion, led by hot markets like China (14.5 percent CAGR) and Latin America (Brazil 6.4 percent, Argentina 11.5 percent). In 2014 alone, the MPAA reported a $36.4 billion global box office take, with China experiencing a 34 percent jump over 2013’s figures, even as the number of cinema screens worldwide grew by 6 percent. With blockbusters like Star Wars:
The Force Awakens currently sitting on around $1.88 billion in worldwide gross, more than half of which came from the international market, the sky is indeed the limit for GTMM’s technology.

Westerville, Ohio-based Guitammer anticipates similarly robust growth moving forward in terms of adoption rates and estimates that some 2.5 million Americans will experience a ButtKicker enabled viewing after the company’s install base is bolstered by the new AMC additions. This end-user buzz feed system will in turn accelerate interest in Guitammer’s consumer grade solutions, driving sales of the company’s haptic-enabled broadcast services and hardware aimed at the home theatre market. The company’s technology is more musically accurate and considerably more powerful, as well as longer lasting, than competing voice coil shakers or other tactile devices, employing a magnetically suspended precision-guided piston that transfers vibration directly to whatever the unit’s housing is attached to.

Guitammer’s “4D Sports powered by ButtKicker” is a concept whose time has come and it is not hard to imagine this technology quickly proliferating out to the sports bar market. Because ButtKicker transducers accurately reproduce the feeling range of audio in a vastly more direct way than sound waves travelling through the air, and because when using headphones or speakers at a reduced volume the sound is completely isolated to the listener, the full range of possible implementations for this technology is immense. PwC estimates that global sports revenues were in the neighborhood of $145 billion last year (including factors like gate receipts), driven by rebounding TV advertising and an ongoing migration toward pay TV, as well as a return to the sponsorship space by financial services and automotive companies. It is no leap of faith to imagine ButtKicker devices in sporting arenas to help deliver a more realistic, front row seat experience to attendees at sporting events, even up in the cheap seats.

Delivering this level of powerful, concert-level audio directly to the listener, via a method that is driven by exacting capture and reproduction of remote haptic events, and in a fashion in which the user feels the event in perfect sync with (in the case of film) the audio and video – is something which has to be felt to be believed. To accurately comprehend the potential market for this technology, investors must experience it firsthand. Luckily, Guitammer has put together and maintains a Google Maps-based listing of venues where users can experience it for themselves. A listing which also illustrates how this incredible technology will soon be present on over 22,000 seats, in 11 countries, and in front of more than 100 screens worldwide.

While there are existing after-market solutions for anti-theft and tracking that can be wired into a vehicle’s electric system, or slotted into the On-board diagnostics (OBD) port, clever thieves and OCGs (organized criminal groups) have learned to bypass such security devices in recent years, and now they routinely exploit the OBD port to compromise on-board security solutions. Electronic entry protocols involving near-field communications have actually exacerbated the problem in certain respects, making it easier than ever for tech savvy criminals to get into vehicles and jack into the OBD port, with recent cases showing that some thieves are now able to simply lurk in parking areas and intercept the remote locking signal as owners walk away from their vehicle.

The most recent data on vehicle theft in the U.S. from the non-profit National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), which tracks auto theft and insurance fraud, indicated a theft rate of around 800 vehicles per 100,000. This data tracks very well against the more conservative FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program data, which puts the figure closer to 230 per 100,000. According to one of the top intelligence providers to the automotive industry, SBD, vehicle theft rates are highest in South America and lowest in Europe. However, Interpol analysis makes it clear that while less prevalent, vehicle theft in Europe is much more well-coordinated overall, with vehicles disappearing across borders into neighboring countries quite easily after their security has been compromised.

Enter one Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTC: GOPH), which recently filed a patent and trademark for its revolutionary new sticky patch package, designed to offer consumers a surreptitious anti-theft global tracking solution that does not require on-board GPS, and uses a standalone encrypted private network. With battery power that lasts up to a year, the lightweight and waterproof GopherAntiTheft™ (GAT) device can be hidden anywhere in or on the vehicle and uses real-time heuristics to keep track of its location. This ingenious fusion of technologies combines a patented integrated circuit known as the GopherInsight™ chip, with a GPS chipset (where GPS is available) and/or the GopherNET™ transceiver (in the case no GPS is available), as well as a unique antenna that is married to the GopherAntiTheft (GAT) circuit.

This combination of a smart microchip/circuitry and supporting software running on a server allows users to track the unit using a mobile app or web browser, and can also help reduce insurance fees. Moving forward the company anticipates that its technology should see broader adoption across a variety of other markets, including smartphones and drones, as its microchip technologies may be installed within mobile devices, or on SIM cards. The GopherAntiTheft platform is also aligned with the goals of Horizon 2020, the EU’s biggest research and innovation effort to date, with over €80 billion in funding. Horizon 2020 is a financing framework designed to secure Europe’s competitiveness by incubating breakthroughs and world-firsts under the auspices of the Europe 2020 flagship initiative’s Innovation Union.

Headquartered in Perris, California, development-stage Gopher Protocol sees a very bright future for its anti-theft technologies and envisions the creation of a global network based on what it believes is the first system of this type to use a human heuristic-based analysis engine. The fact that the core element of the GopherAntiTheft platform is its smartchip technology, which can be installed on any mobile device, the potential of a parallel global network between mobile devices powered by GOPH technology offers tantalizing possibilities. Including the ability to enhance mobile device computing performance capabilities through the network, or provide advanced database management and sharing capabilities, as well as as-yet unforeseen features, whose implementation would be enabled by the presence of the chip/access to the network.

Given that the latest International Data Corporation analysis of the smartphone market projects a forward five-year CAGR of 7.4 percent, with around 1.43 billion units shipped last year, and that by the end of 2016 82 percent of all mobile phones are expected be smartphones – the market for GOPH is indeed quite large.
