Comstock Resources is a growing independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, development, production and exploration of oil and natural gas properties. As of December 31, 2014, the company owned interests in nearly 1,600 producing wells with an estimated 620 BCFE in proven reserves. In recent months, the substantial decline of oil and natural gas prices has resulted in a considerable decline in revenues for the entire industry, with major players such as Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM) and Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) reporting year-over-year earnings decreases of more than 50 percent for the first six months of 2015. However, Comstock’s strong production figures during the first half of the year – including approximately 1.96 million barrels of oil and 19.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas – continue to demonstrate the company’s immense growth potential when commodity prices begin to recover.

In 2014, Comstock’s Eagle Ford shale horizontal well drilling program in East Texas served as a driver for the company’s considerable production growth. In total, the company successfully increased its oil production figures by 86 percent, adding 5.1 million barrels of oil and 5 billion cubic feet of natural gas to its proven reserves. During the second quarter of 2015, Comstock prepared to build on this progress through the completion of four additional horizontal wells on the property, effectively increasing its production capacity ahead of forecast rises in oil and natural gas prices in the months to come.

In July, the company took steps toward securing the financial flexibility needed to continue developing its most promising properties. In particular, Comstock entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement to sell its properties in and around Burleson County, Texas, for approximately $115 million. Upon closing, this transfer will provide the company with the fiscal means to fund additional drilling programs at its Eagle Ford property while maintaining the flexibility required to capitalize on additional strategic opportunities.

“This sale strengthens our balance sheet by providing us with an opportunity to further improve our liquidity during a period of low oil and natural gas prices,” M. Jay Allison, chief executive officer of Comstock, stated in a news release.

Despite less-than-favorable market conditions, Comstock has made strong progress in recent months toward preparing for future growth. Look for the company to continue focusing primarily on site development work moving forward, providing a strong platform upon which to capitalize on recovering commodity prices in the future.

While oil prices have hovered near six-year lows for the majority of 2015, ENGlobal Corporation (NASDAQ: ENG) has continued to leverage the considerable industry experience of its management team to promote strong financial results. Last week, the company demonstrated the versatility and marketability of its offerings when it announced that the second quarter of 2015 marked its sixth consecutive quarter of profitability.

“We are pleased to report today’s profitable results – which I’m proud to say represent six consecutive profitable quarters,” Mark Hess, chief financial officer of ENGlobal, stated in a news release. “ENGlobal’s profit margins remain respectable given the current environment, and our available capital has improved over the last year.”

In an effort to counteract the effects of slumping oil and gas prices, ENGlobal’s management expertly adjusted the margins of its engineering and construction operations in the second quarter. In addition to decreasing gross profit margin by 2.5 percent, as compared to the previous year, the company’s operating profit margin was reduced by 0.6 percent. These adjustments allowed ENGlobal to remain competitive in less-than-ideal market conditions, effectively promoting growth despite substantial industry limitations.

Following the release of its financial results for the second quarter, this strategy proved to be effective. For the period, ENGlobal achieved a mild year-over-year increase in total revenue for its engineering and construction segment, which serves a collection of energy sectors adversely affected by the recent fall in commodity prices. In an effort to capitalize on this progress, the company has recently turned its attention toward broadening its industry presence through the development of new partnerships and the exploration of potential acquisition candidates.

“ENGlobal’s response to the current energy marketplace has been to increase our efforts in developing new business,” stated William Coskey, P.E., chairman and chief executive officer of ENGlobal. “While we are excited about several new opportunities and client relationships that this internal process has produced, it also appears to be a great time to consider strategic acquisitions.”

According to the its latest financial report, the company has a healthy cash balance and working capital of approximately $25.4 million. Additionally, ENGlobal reports no borrowings under its current credit facility. The flexibility provided by this strong balance sheet will prove instrumental to the company’s growth efforts moving forward, particularly as related to any acquisition agreements that may be in the cards.

For prospective shareholders, ENGlobal’s financial performance despite slumping commodity prices is a promising indication of its market potential in the coming months. Look for the company to continue relying on the considerable expertise of its leadership team – which includes well over a century of combined industry experience – in order to continue successfully navigating prevailing market conditions and promoting sustained profitability for the foreseeable future.

Save the World Air, Inc. is enhancing its focus on improving operational efficiencies for the global energy infrastructure, and, in an effort to better reflect this updated strategy to potential clients and investors, has changed its name to QS Energy, Inc. (OTCQX: QSEP). Moving forward, the company will look to capitalize on the realignment currently impacting the energy sector by solidifying its position as a leading developer of technology for the efficient and safe transport of petroleum products.

“Our new corporate identity, QS Energy, Inc., and new stock symbol, QSEP, more effectively represent this exciting new phase of the company’s growth trajectory,” Greggory Bigger, chairman and chief executive officer of QS Energy, stated in a news release. “QS refers to ‘quick strike,’ a philosophy that has become fundamental to our strategy on both fronts as we move from the lab to the field with our existing product portfolio, and pursue accretive and synergistic acquisitions.”

QS Energy’s current portfolio includes two proprietary technology offerings aimed at the oil pipeline industry – Applied Oil Technology™ (AOT) and Joule Heat™. AOT is a patent-protected hardware system designed to reduce the viscosity of crude oil transported via pipeline. In extensive laboratory testing, AOT demonstrated a collection of benefits including increased flow rates, lower pump station power consumption and improved safety margins. The company’s second product, Joule Heat, is designed to increase the internal temperature of pipelines through the use of electric current. Unlike currently available trace heating systems, QS Energy’s groundbreaking system increases oil temperature uniformly without interrupting flow. The company continues to make great strides toward the impending commercialization of both products.

In addition to marketing its technology, QS Energy has initiated an aggressive mergers and acquisitions strategy designed to capitalize on the recent drop in oil prices. QS Energy Pool, the company’s special purpose vehicle, was created to identify and acquire drastically undervalued assets with overleveraged balance sheets and significant degrees of costly debt. Although these firms often have excellent producing assets and solid cash flow, low commodity prices have many of them unable to continue operations. QS Energy Pool will look to acquire these failing firms, providing an opportunity to realize immediate increases in revenue generation in the short-term.

“QS Energy’s dual growth strategy is to deploy its flow assurance solutions globally and to acquire undervalued operating companies, technologies and oil and gas assets,” continued Bigger. “Our [mergers and acquisitions] plan was enacted to provide income and revenue that is synergistic with our current operations.”

While many exploration and production firms are struggling to cope with slumping oil prices – including industry giants such as Chevron Corp (NYSE: CVX) and BP PLC (NYSE: BP) – QS Energy, through its revitalized growth strategy, is set to begin a new chapter. Look for the company to make accelerated progress toward the commercialization of its innovative product portfolio while supplementing shareholder value through the acquisition of complementary entities in the months to come.

It is an exciting time for Galenfeha, a design and engineering firm primarily focused on the oil and gas industry. The company is gaining traction in this sector and, after inking a recent deal to provide cutting-edge stored energy solutions to BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP), a U.S. oil and gas producer and global powerhouse firm, the company is widening its penetration in the industry even further.

Galenfeha consciously pursues product development with low environmental impact and, as a result, it is rapidly establishing a name for itself as the leading alternative stored energy supplier in North America. While running its operations from a base in Texas, the company designs, manufactures and markets a complete line of patent pending, microprocessor controlled, LiFePO4 chemistry battery systems designed for oil and gas automation, measurement and production, along with a full line of proprietary chemical injection systems.

From inception, Galenfeha has pursued cooperative associations with energy producers so having the opportunity and capability to assist BHP Billiton is a dream come true. BHP Billiton means to include Galenfeha’s proprietary CDMA/satellite asset location and tracking technology in its battery systems, and the team at Galenfeha are prepared to support this integration process every step of the way. Galenfeha’s technology has already been proven in the field and, moreover, it has the support of six of the largest hydrocarbon producers in the U.S. who all currently use it.

Following its establishment in 2013, Galenfeha has focused on assisting energy producers and users of conventional stored energy products to meet new standards. The company actively champions efficiency in the area of product development by developing innovative products that reduce the various non-sustainable features of energy production (e.g. hazardous waste and carbon footprints). In addition to being designed to reduce the environmental impact made by energy producers, these products are also intended to outperform current technology and to decrease the associated financial costs of energy production.

Our air freight industry has been taking off since the end of the 2009 recession. Shared economy courier services, such as the one proposed by On the Move Systems (OMVS), could see increased business also.

According to published trade articles, North American air freight tonnage has been flying high thanks to an improving economy, and rising imports and exports. As a result, courier and express service companies are taking on increased importance as importers and exporters seek to get their goods to the airport for shipment or from the airport to customers as quickly as possible in a highly competitive market.

“This is valuable ancillary market information that gives us clear direction on our proposed shared economy courier service,” said OMVS CEO Robert Wilson. “There is a growing trend in the express service business on reducing delivery times to zero. So quickly getting export/import items to and from airports should be a great revenue-producing opportunity for our courier service. These clients value speed and a flexible, shared economy operation can provide that better than anyone.”

The global air freight market is expected to enjoy a soaring compound annual growth rate of 5.97 percent through 2019, one research group predicts. Courier and express companies servicing air freight carriers should also benefit from this growth.

OMVS has been conducting due diligence and market research on starting a shared economy courier service in addition to its on-demand trucking platform, now under development. The company has found strong potential for such a service and is scouting possible startup locations.

Glori Energy is an energy technology and oil production company leveraging its proprietary AERO™ technology to increase the amount of oil that can be produced from conventional wells. In addition to using the technology on its own U.S. oil fields, the company is currently providing its innovative system as a service to exploration and production firms around the globe. To date, the AERO platform, which represents more than 60 years of successful research in the application of biotechnology to oil recovery, has accounted for the production of millions of barrels of otherwise unattainable oil.

In recent months, low oil prices have led to significant drops in earnings for some of the industry’s biggest players – including Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE: XOM) and Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) – further demonstrating the importance of cost-effective production methods. However, according to industry reports, only about one-third of all oil discovered in a typical reservoir is recoverable using conventional techniques.

Glori’s AERO system addresses this inefficiency by stimulating the reservoir’s naturally-occurring microbes in order to create pockets of biomass. These pockets, which form in trapped oil deposits, force dynamic and continuous changes of water flow patterns during secondary oil recovery methods, effectively creating additional pathways for oil to reach the surface. When used during water injection, Glori’s AERO technology has been shown to increase incremental recovery by as much as 12 percent, making it the most cost-effective, successful enhanced oil recovery technology available on the market.

In July, Glori announced that it had commenced the nutrient injection phase of AERO implementation at its Coke Field project in Wood County, Texas, marking the company’s first significant deployment on one of its own oil fields. Moving forward, Glori will look to build on this progress through adherence to an aggressive growth strategy centering on the acquisition of mature producing oil properties with favorable characteristics for AERO implementation. In the second quarter of 2015, Glori utilized this strategy to acquire its newest project, Bonnie View Field in South Texas.

“Bonnie View has over 30 million barrels of oil remaining, with less than 40 percent recovery factor in an extremely high-quality reservoir,” Stuart Page, chief executive officer of Glori, stated in a news release. “This provides an attractive target for AERO, and we believe that we will be able to economically recover over six million of these barrels.”

The rapid evolution of home entertainment in recent years, culminating in home theatre technologies like soon-to-be-released Ultra HD Blu-ray players, massive 102-inch 4K TVs and hi-res audio, as well as the proliferation of diverse interactive games delivered by next-gen consoles and powerful computer display hardware like NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) graphics cards, has put considerable competitive pressure on movie theatres, FECs (family entertainment centers), and other entertainment venues like bars, nightclubs, and restaurants. Today’s savvy consumers want more bang for their entertainment buck and, in a move telegraphed by the shift from brick and mortar retail to shopping online via etailers like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), more and more consumers are staying home more often, opting to enjoy their advanced home entertainment suites with a movie off Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) or Amazon Prime. Even with big-budget blockbuster attractions like Viacom (NASDAQ: VIAB) subsidiary Paramount’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation currently playing on the big screen nationwide across sold-out theatres, a film which grossed $56 million in its opening weekend, National Association of Theater Owners data indicates relatively slow growth for the North America movie theatre sector.

With ticket sales off by five percent last year from 2013’s figures, driving just $10.36 billion in revenues, a sum lower than in 2009, the roughly $16 billion movie theatre sector is currently projected as growing only 1.9 percent in 2015, and has been exposed to disruptive reinvention of the underlying business model by innovators. Indeed, movie-goers are now flocking to venues that offer a more comfortable and engaging experience, with operations like AMC (NYSE:AMC) Dine-in Theatres and private company Alamo Drafthouse Cinema stealing the show, as they offer patrons the thrill and image quality of the big screen, combined with casual/fast casual menu options, vastly improved seating, or even a large selections of alcoholic beverages.

This trend has led to innovative fusions of multiple entertainment options into single venues by companies like the Dallas-based subsidiary of Australian company, Ardent Leisure Group (OTC: ANRRF) (ASX: AAD), the highly-successful Main Event Entertainment . Main Event employs an Eat/Bowl/Play model at its nearly 20 FECs, bringing together a variety of interactive games, such as technologically advanced bowling lanes, billiards and multi-level laser tag, with virtual and regular arcade video games, and topping the entire package off with a sizeable menu, ranging from fast-casual to chef-inspired casual, as well as a full bar offering beers, wine, and creative cocktails. This one-stop-shop model has become the cutting-edge of the industry and is garnering increasing traction as the destination of choice for small groups of friends, corporate events, and family parties.

It is along these same lines that up-and-coming sector player Latitude 360, Inc. (OTCQB: LATX) has structured its ultimate entertainment eatery business. Latitude 360 is capitalizing on the proven success of companies like Ardent Leisure Group and actively expanding its operation to an ever larger nationwide presence via its own already well-established brand. With three locations currently based in large shopping centers that have been selected for their choice regional demographics, and three more locations in the hopper set debut in the near future, Latitude 360 is intent on taking the FEC fusion concept to the next level. By putting together under one roof a wide, synergistic array of options, Latitude 360 is focused on winning the hearts and minds of consumers who are looking for the complete afternoon meeting, night out, or party experience.

A key element of the company’s approach is its emphasis on capturing the shift towards dine-in movies via its Cinegrille® luxury dine-in cinema, by fully exploiting the potential of the roughly $160 billion casual dining market, occupied by brands like Darden Restaurants’ (NYSE: DRI) Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse, or Cracker Barrel (NASDAQ: CBRL), as well as the burgeoning $35 billion fast casual market, superbly characterized by newer players such as Chipotle (NYSE: CMG) and Panera (NASDAQ: PNRA). Elegantly styled home theater-quality seating with dining trays for convenience, combined with 25 foot by 11 foot HD screens and 10,000 watts of DTS™ digital surround sound, are a big part what makes Latitude 360’s Cinegrille® dining experience something to come back for again and again. The dining formula is quite impressive in its own right too, with full food and beverage service offered in the main dining area, as well as throughout the establishment.

Ultra-modern bowling lanes, equipped with the very latest in interactive scoring features, a giant video wall, a mega sound system and luxury leather seating, constitutes a total reimagining of the bowling alley experience for the modern age. This winning realization of the modern bowling alley includes a state-of-the-art game room as well, with professional billiards tables, and over 70 various interactive and redemption center-based games. Paired up with the luxury bowling and casual, fast casual, or upscale dining choices is a complete selection of HD Sports Theater viewing options, offering patrons the chance to catch the latest fight or other sporting event on multiple screens inside with a cold pint, or at the outdoor patio where they can lounge with a cocktail, or even on the huge indoor jumbo-tron. All the screens are wired for multi-media presentations and microphones, making them great for product launches and corporate lunch/dinner meetings. Because Latitude 360 as a concept was designed from the outset as a full-spectrum event center for birthdays, corporate events or social events of all kinds, the company’s trained event planning specialists can also help customers arrange a whole host of different kinds of events, accommodating just a few guests, or as many as 2,000 people at most locations. Guests can even hook up a Sony (NYSE: SNE) Playstation® 3 or any other gaming system to the projection screen for the ultimate gaming party.

Add to these sports bar and gaming options the presence of Latitude Live, a Vegas-style live performance theater, complete with event-style seating capacity that is able to accommodate several hundred guests, as well as a sophisticated AV stage setup with a giant LED wall backdrop, and you have the makings of the ideal micro-event center for private functions. Latitude Live hosts live comedy on weekends and puts LATX in the $350 million comedy club circuit loop as a growing, increasingly prominent nationwide spot for comedy enthusiasts to catch today’s top performers. Moreover, the Axis Live nightclub, bar and live music venue, complete with a high-energy dance floor, makes Latitude 360 the perfect place for a night out with friends, where everyone can enjoy dancing, great food, and a full selection of beverages.

With three locations currently open in Jacksonville, Florida (50,000 square feet), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (65,000 square feet) and Indianapolis, Indiana (75,000 square feet), as well as locations slated to open this year in upscale areas like a location in Albany, New York (53,000 square feet), as well as one in Kingston, Massachusetts (37,000 square feet), are also proceeding apace. The company has done considerable due diligence on both of these areas and identified an organic receptivity towards, as well as lack of, live and multidimensional entertainment. These upcoming locations are just the leading edge of LATX’s aggressive, strategic expansion vision.

A fact attested to by recent developments such as a multi-year, on-premise brand integration agreement executed with Monster Beverage (NASDAQ: MNST), the producer of the wildly successful Monster Energy® drinks. Monster has soared to a 14 percent market share of the energy drink space in recent years (right behind Red Bull) and the company posted a 4.7 percent rise in gross margins for Q2 2015 to 56.9 percent, clearly indicating to investors how valuable such a deal is to the Latitude 360 brand. This key brand integration is perfect for the high energy identity of Latitude 360, and the even more recent announcement by LATX, that the company has partnered with and pending acquisition of one of the leading fantasy sports providers, Major League Fantasy, making Latitude 360 the first to offer a chain of live, in-venue fantasy sports books, further separates the company from competitors.

Projected as growing to around $10 billion in revenues by next year alone, fantasy sports have become incredibly popular. With major players like Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO) recently throwing their hat into the fantasy sports ring, following after the successes of operators like DraftKings and FanDuel, the Latitude 360 experience’s outcrop into “360 Fantasy Live,” complete with high-stakes fantasy games backed up by amenities like the comedy club, bowling lanes and entertainment theatre, as well as a cigar lounge, should really help to further establish LATX’s overall brand presence. This is a shrewd move for the company that appeals directly to one of its core target demographics, upper-class males from 18 to 49, and by cultivating affluent professionals across choice regional markets in this manner, Latitude 360 should be able to maintain serious momentum as the company continues to expand its logistical footprint. Especially considering customer loyalty membership programs like the Latitude 360 Rewards and Membership Club Card, which rewards frequent patrons with free bowling, comedy shows and other perks/rewards, allowing them to rack up double (Blue class membership) and even triple (Black class membership) points with every purchase.

Clearly, LATX’s vision of going above and beyond the Eat/Bowl/Play model offered by sector players like Ardent Leisure Group’s Main Event Entertainment, expanding into lucrative segments such as live music and events, as well as fantasy sports, will help the company to identify itself as the ultimate in upscale multi-dimensional entertainment eateries. This move by LATX to completely redefine the FEC space and dovetail in additional, complementary elements will no doubt provide the fuel needed to achieve the company’s goal of expansionistic escape velocity, and become a national contender for the top sector slot.
