WRIT Media is focused on theatrical, mobile and interactive content, operating in the digital media industry as a holding company under two different divisions: content creation through Front Row Networks; and “retro” video gaming through Retro Infinity Inc. and Amiga Games Inc.

Front Row Networks was started to produce, acquire and distribute live concerts in 2D and 3D format initially for worldwide digital broadcast and eventually into digitally-enabled movie theaters. The subsidiary’s business model also calls for securing and distributing non-concert alternative theatrical programming, as well as the acquisition of rights for exclusive programming.

WRIT’s Retro Infinity subsidiary specializes in licensing classic computer and console video game libraries and adapts and republishes the most popular titles for smartphones, modern game consoles, micro-consoles, PCs and tablets. The company’s strategy is to leverage platform and classic game brands, along with proprietary technologies, to create new revenue from dormant but once-popular game libraries.

Amiga Games shares resources with Retro Infinity to adapt and republish the most popular titles from the Amiga family of computers for smartphones, modern game consoles, micro-consoles, PCs, and tablets. WRIT leverages the Amiga brand along with game brands of the past and proprietary technologies to create new revenue from classic games that with strong historical sales performance.

According to the Entertainment Software Association (ESA), the WRIT’s potential market stems from the 155 million Americans that play video games. As the industry continues to churn out new games that enable players to be more collaborative, the numbers of global participants rapidly grows. The ESA’s report also shows that frequent gamers (47%) find more value for their money in computer and video games than DVDs, movies and music.

By focusing on re-introducing popular games from the past, WRIT and its subsidiaries have the opportunity to cater to younger and older generations of gamers looking for both new and familiar game-playing challenges.

On the cusp of milestone TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) authorization in Australia to start clinical trials in its breakthrough Parkinson’s disease (PD) treatment using human parthenogenetic neural stem cells (hpNSCs), International Stem Cell Corp. (OTCQB: ISCO) was proud to show markets recently that the company has achieved a point of maturity where it is also driving home steadily increasing revenues. The release of the company’s Q2 2015 data also showed record net income for the quarter, with outlays decreasing due to having successfully wrapped on a number of important preclinical studies, even as revenues increased 14 percent year over year, and profit margins held steady at around 72 percent.

The company’s increasingly lucrative biomedical business and consistently profitable regenerative skin care offerings, administrated respectively via ISCO’s wholly-owned Lifeline Cell Technology and Lifeline Skin Care subsidiaries, continue to materially backstop the ongoing development of an exciting therapeutic pipeline based on proprietary human parthenogenetic stem cell (hpSC) technology which is efficient, perfect for commercial scale volumes, and also completely ethical. ISCO’s parthenogenesis technology employs a unique chemical stimulation technique for triggering unfertilized donor human eggs to create pluripotent cells that can then be differentiated through proprietary activation into numerous types of cells. From the aforementioned hpNSCs, which are increasingly seen via the company’s trial work as a paradigm shift approach when it comes to treating neurological system conditions like PD and even ischemic stroke. To liver and eye cells that can be used to effectively treat degenerative diseases affecting those tissue systems, such as metabolic liver disease and macular degeneration.

Just looking at the company’s application of hpNSCs in PD, we see a fundamentally new approach to therapy using transplanted stem cells, which could actually solve the underlying problems that give rise to such conditions, rather than just attempting to ameliorate the condition as with many other therapies, including the current standards of care. In PD, where injected hpNSCs actively differentiate into both dopaminergic neurons, as well as express brain-protecting neurotrophic factors, and thus directly address the two primary causes of debilitation, this approach shows its monumental superiority to other approaches by simultaneously replacing dead neurons and protecting any survivors. This kind of therapeutic solution constitutes an end-run on PD, and potentially many other diseases/disorders via a completely ethical, high-volume stem cell production technology, and it could make ISCO into one of the now $27 billion plus global stem cell market’s heaviest hitters.

Recent projections by Transparency Market Research indicate that the global stem cell market is just getting warmed up too. With around 24 percent CAGR seen occurring through 2018 and valuations the following year of as much as $119 billion or more, this highly fragmented market is primed for explosive growth. Something which is especially true for real innovators like ISCO, given that pluripotent stem cells are also seen as rapidly eclipsing the core adult stem cell type that currently has around 80 percent of the market share.

Perhaps even more importantly, the company’s UniStemCell bank, which is effectively the life science industry’s first commercial-scale aggregation of histocompatible, non-embryonic human stem cells, is ideally positioned to benefit from the continued upswing in the sector. Providing a growing logistical footprint of high-quality material for research purposes, as well as commercial applications. Moreover, ISCO has established a solid presence already here in the U.S., which is the epicenter of global activity for the stem cell industry due to federal government support for the sector. As the biobanking market expands further into Europe and other global markets, the company will benefit from first-mover advantages.

In 2014, an estimated 57 million Americans participated in fantasy sports, and strong growth is expected to continue in the years to come. By 2016, industry reports estimate that fantasy sports could account for as much as $10 billion annually, as the popularity of daily fantasy games continues to expand. Latitude 360, Inc. (OTCQB: LATX), through its pending acquisition of Major League Fantasy, is in a strong strategic position to capitalize on this market performance, building on the success of its innovative upscale dining and entertainment venues.

The daily fantasy sports boom is led by established market players, such as DraftKings and FanDuel, and the movement is rapidly spreading. Yahoo (YHOO), a leader in more traditional seasonal fantasy sports, recently launched its first ever daily format, and more than 55 million people throughout North America participated during its first year. Latitude 360 is entering the daily fantasy sports market at the apex of a surge in popularity, and the company’s innovative plans to improve upon the current formula could give it an edge as it begins to enter new markets around the country.

Fantasy athletes at Latitude 360’s award-winning locations will be treated to the full host of amenities on offer as part of the company’s ‘360 Experience’ – including a comedy club, cigar lounge, live performance theater, luxury bowling lanes, dine-in movie theaters and more. Additionally, the company plans to offer high-stakes fantasy games in its exclusive VIP ‘Black Rooms’, which will have entry fees ranging from $250 to $25,000 and an enhanced viewing experience for players and spectators that will be second-to-none. By offering brand new game modes, real-time experiences, daily featured prize contests and interactive tools not available on any daily fantasy sites or apps, Latitude 360 will look to rapidly expand its share of the booming fantasy market.

“With our recent partnership and pending acquisition of Major League Fantasy, we’ve… made a sizeable entrance into the multi-billion dollar sports fantasy market,” Brent Brown, chief executive officer of Latitude, stated in a news release. “The combination of our upper-scale sports watching experience in our venues coupled with the ability to participate in daily fantasy sports we see as something our sports fan patrons will definitely enjoy when they come to visit our locations.”

Upon release, Latitude 360’s innovative take on daily fantasy sports is expected to be available at all of the company’s dining and entertainment venues nationwide – including current locations in Jacksonville, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis – as well as planned, additional venues under development. For prospective shareholders, the company’s continued refinement and expansion of its proven ‘360 Experience’ could provide a platform for rapid financial growth in the months to come.

Key points include:

• MITD’s sales for the first six months were $851,724, an increase over sales of $473,153 for the same period of 2014. Adjusted net income for the period was $265,967, or $0.0027 per diluted share.

“After implementing our corporate goals on January 1, 2014, we experienced normal growing pains and produced a profitable and solid company in 18 months. The business plan is now firmly entrenched in the expansion phase. In addition to organic growth goals of 20-25% per year on existing business, we expect acquisitions and the opening of new facilities in untapped geographic locations throughout the United States. When we cannot locate a sound acquisition for purchase within a target market, MIT Holding has the ability to ‘open from scratch’ facilities that will host our products and services,” Tommy Duncan, president of MIT Holding, stated in the news release.

MIT Holding Chief Executive Officer Walter Drakeford commented on industry challenges and the company’s unique position in the medical market.

“We are pleased with the strong financial and operational performance of our reorganization strategy. The first six months of profit and growth validate our strategy and approach to our business model. The unabated growth in the medical industry is creating headwinds, contributing to our continued growth and profitability. The MITD concept of bringing together all necessary services and products under one umbrella for a patient’s post-medical event recovery is, to our knowledge, the first in the industry,” he stated.

HII Technologies is an oilfield services company with operations in Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio and West Virginia. Through the use of innovative water management techniques – including both water transfer and produced water flowback services – the company is strategically positioned to take advantage of the significant anticipated growth in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing within the country’s active shale and unconventional oil plays in the years to come. Since horizontal multi-stage fracking operations can use more than five million gallons of water during oil production activities, the company’s services, which include the installation of temporary, above-ground pipe connected to nearby water sources, normally offer significant cost savings over less efficient means of transport.

While slumping commodity prices have had a negative impact on much of the oil and gas industry throughout the first half of 2015, the water management market appears to be the exception. According to a report by Lux Research, the estimated value of the hydraulic fracturing water management market remains steady at $1.9 billion for 2015. This consistent performance comes as a result of oil and gas firms searching out new ways to cut back on capital spending in recent months, effectively highlighting the benefits of HIIT’s services.

In particular, the report notes the significant growth potential of the water recycling market, which is an increasingly attractive option for production firms as the U.S. Department of the Interior looks to build upon recently announced environmental regulations. HIIT’s solution to this shifting landscape comes in the form of high volume onsite recycling of flowback and produced water. This technology has the capacity to clean up to 20,000 barrels of water each day while occupying a relatively small on-site footprint.

In the first quarter of 2015, HIIT’s performance echoed the optimism of Lux Research’s market forecast. The company’s total revenues for the period rose by approximately 13.3 percent from the previous year to $8.5 million despite unforeseen challenges to operations presented by inclement weather. Additionally, HIIT acquired eight new customers during the quarter following the release of new technologies, such as its proprietary AES HydroFLOW™ non-chemical bacteria kill.

“Offering new frac water related technologies that save customers money and drive efficiencies, cutting operational costs and bundling of our suite of services is the strategic approach the company has taken to manage through this industry cycle,” Matthew Flemming, chief executive officer of HIIT, stated in a news release. “Our goal is to exit this cycle as a market share leader in the southwest United States using our cost-saving technologies to have a competitive advantage.”

As HIIT continues to build upon its innovative portfolio of oilfield services, the company is in a favorable strategic position to promote sustainable financial growth in the months to come. Look for HIIT expand upon its market share by leveraging the marketability of its unique combination of cutting-edge technology and cost-saving solutions for the foreseeable future.

FastFunds Financial Corp., through recently formed subsidiary Pure Grow Systems LLC, is expanding its presence in the thriving legal cannabis industry. Earlier this month, the company’s innovative antimicrobial sanitation products and systems for grow facilities were highlighted as part of Hempfest in Seattle, Washington, which attracts more than 100,000 guests and is noted as one of the largest hemp-centric festivals in the world. By leveraging this platform to promote its products, FastFunds is in a favorable position to stimulate improved brand awareness and increased market share moving forward.

“Hempfest will be a great launching pad for our products and system,” Russ Mitchell, managing partner of Pure Grow Systems, stated in a news release prior to the event. “As a sponsor we will get significant coverage with extra signage and ads providing for greater exposure to the large number of people attending this event.”

These efforts followed the company’s earlier announcement that it had received approval to sell its groundbreaking GroClean product within the states of Washington and Wisconsin. The Washington approval, in particular, is intriguing, because it allows FastFunds to address both the medical and recreational cultivation markets.

The Pure Grow sanitizing and disinfection products and systems are expertly designed to help cultivators optimize the yields of their plants by delivering maximized coverage and kill ratios for a full range of bacteria, viruses, molds, fungi and other pests. When used as directed, GroClean has been shown as an effective sanitary solution for use in a full range of botanical and horticultural facilities, including hydroponic growing facilities. In addition to its high efficiency formulation, the company’s Pure Grow technology is unique in that it is created with 100 percent biodegradable active ingredients, ensuring that it is both environmentally-friendly and safe for users.

For prospective shareholders, the considerable momentum of the Pure Grow brand, in addition to the rapidly approaching release of FastFunds’s highly anticipated prepaid loyalty debit card, could provide a platform for sustainable market growth. Look for the company to capitalize on this progress in the months to come while continuing to search for revenue-producing acquisition candidates that provide ancillary services to the cannabis industry.

One Step Vending Corp. is a holding company utilizing an acquisition-based strategy and cooperative agreements with established businesses to promote sustainable growth and rapid increases in market share. Following the acquisition of a controlling interest in Corporate Refreshment Services (CRS) earlier this year, the company is currently focused on becoming a leader in the micro market industry, with key business sectors including food and refreshment services, self-checkout systems and mobile vending.

“CRS has a solid track record of profitability and a sophisticated sales and marketing know-how regarding small and medium businesses,” Brian Duke, president of One Step, stated in a news release. “We expect that this combination will help both companies to grow and we look forward to working with their team and providing them with the broad resources and capabilities that we have to offer.”

Through its micro market platforms, One Step, through CRS, provides unstaffed, self-checkout food store solutions that integrate seamlessly into office spaces. The company’s machines provide a healthier alternative to traditional vending machines by offering fresh snack and meal options that have been shown to improve employee health and promote increased productivity. By accepting a collection of payment methods and utilizing web-based reporting and monitoring systems, One Step is able to maximize its returns from each installed micro market unit.

The potential marketability of One Step’s healthy approach to vending machines is immense. According to a study by Automatic Merchandiser, micro markets represent the fastest growing segment in the vending industry, and this success can be at least partially attributed to the continued shift in consumer preference toward healthier snacking options. In a 2013 study by Hartman Group, approximately 57 percent of Americans rated healthy snack options as important, further demonstrating the significant upside of micro market technology.

According to industry data, micro markets attract about 18 percent more visits than traditional vending machines, and as many as 72 percent of resulting purchases are made with cashless payment methods. Look for One Step to capitalize on these statistics by leveraging its interest in CRS, effectively promoting sustainable growth in the months to come. For prospective shareholders, the company’s commitment to its acquisition-based growth strategy, as well as its established presence in the fastest growing segment in the vending industry, should provide a platform for considerable market growth moving forward.

Medical cannabis and cannabinoid-based therapies are gaining wider acceptance around the United States. More than 20 states and the District of Columbia have legalized the drug and, between 2009 and 2014, IBISWorld estimates that the medical cannabis industry grew significantly to reach $2 billion in revenue. Despite this industry boom and the pioneers that emerged within it, there has been a shortage of companies conducting legitimate research and development and/or with the right amount of scientific backing and funding needed to compete in the industry.

GrowBLOX Sciences, a biopharmaceutical research and development company, stands out from the pack with its advanced technologies in plant biology and cultivation. Led by an impressive scientific team that includes big data experts, the company has turned its attention to creating safe, standardized pharmaceutical-grade cannabis-based therapies that target an assortment of medical conditions. The company is focused on bringing relief to patients in communities across the country by combining ground-breaking technology and industry processes with its “big” data-driven clinical research and development loop ability. Moreover, through its Puerto Rico subsidiary, GrowBLOX Sciences is developing and dispensing its suite of cultivation and growing chambers worldwide.

With its novel approach to using big data to produce lower-risk clinical trial candidates, GrowBLOX is highlighting its strong long-term potential. With over 180 cannabis-related human trials registered with the National Institute of Health (NIH) and more on the way, the company has established a brilliant starting point with close to a thousand potential combinations within the cannabinoid-related therapy space.

In the short term, the company intends to earn revenue from selling certified raw materials through dispensaries. These near-term plans were set in May when the company announced the formation of GrowBLOX Sciences Puerto Rico, a subsidiary that will legally grow cannabis raw materials that will be sold solely to its parent company for dispersion in the U.S. and other countries where the drug is legal.

The company’s operations – cultivation, post-processing and manufacturing – create a model platform to execute these visions. On the cultivation side, its TissueBLOX, GrowBLOX and CureBLOX platforms facilitate the efficient growing of cannabis, while its ExtractionLab produces proprietary blends for distribution as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals. Given its distinctive business model, long-term potential in pharmaceuticals and short-term potential in raw material sales, GrowBLOX Sciences is a company worth a closer look.

In particular, LBAS signed contracts with both a world-class distributor and key strategic retail outlets in order to expand its sales in both the United States and Mexico. The company recently announced the shipment of initial orders related to its agreement with a leading distributor in Mexico. These orders are expected to generate significant device and service revenue throughout the remainder of 2015.

Additionally, following the introduction of its 3G vehicle tracker devices, LBAS recently launched a new auto dealership reseller program in North America focused on increasing installations at the time of new and pre-owned vehicle sales. The company expects this program to significantly strengthen its commercial sales and augment its ongoing business sales.

“Each of our key initiatives for 2015 provides dynamic growth opportunities that will carry us to our ultimate achievement of profitability,” Dr. David M. Morse, chief executive officer of LBAS, stated in a news release.

In its fiscal quarter ending May 31, LBAS leveraged the marketability of its product lines to promote strong financial growth. The company’s net revenue for the quarter was just under $552,000, representing a 21 percent year-over-year increase. This performance was attributable to increased sales for the period, including a 28 percent increase in paid monthly users, as compared to the previous year.

LBAS is in a favorable position to build on its recent financial performance in the months to come. Look for the company to maximize its presence in both domestic and international markets in the future through continued focus on expanding upon its existing sales agreements and product lines.
