MIT Holding is a single source provider of concierge medical services and products throughout the United States. Through a portfolio of license, contractual and affiliate agreements, the company offers a portfolio of services that includes but is in no way limited to the:

• Administering of intravenous infusions;
• Management of medical services; and
• Provision of in-home therapies.

In a press release dated April 27, 2015, the company revealed that it had achieved positive net income from its operations in 2014, to the tune of over $14,000. This profit amount signaled significant improvement from the previous year’s numbers. It’s also a direct consequence of the company’s renewed focus on its in-home health recovery business and the resulting growth in overall income generated in 2014 (over $1.1 million).

Many aspects of the structure of MIT Holding’s in-home health recovery business, which facilitates and assists patients from the time of their release from a hospital through to a full in-home recovery, were finalized in 2014. The target audience for the business have been determined to be those needing infusion for recovery.

With many infusion therapies costing more than $10,000 per patient, per year and many patients needing special counseling and education regarding their condition and treatment, there is certainly a market for the business.
The two most recognized names in the infusion sector, CVS Health Corp. (NYSE: CVS) and Walgreen Co. (NYSE: WAG), have established footprints into the home infusion market through a series of strategic acquisitions that highlight the growing demand for home infusion services. The usual retail pharmacies and traditional distributors are generally designed to carry inventories of low cost, high volume products, while MIT Holding’s platform is based on the delivery of high cost, low volume specialty pharmaceuticals that have specialized handling and administration requirements.

Today’s United States home infusion market has been estimated at around $16 billion and is forecasted to reach approximately $27 billion by 2020, according to Harris Williams & Co. At a compound annual growth rate of approximately 9% per year, this could mean a significant market opportunity for MIT Holding. Furthermore, the company is anticipating that the demand for low cost, high quality home care will increase as paying patients become aware that they could realize up to 90% in savings on infusion services performed in the home versus in the hospital and that, as a result, this will result in continued growth for its in-home health recovery business. It is little wonder that this is an area of significant focus in its operations.

The Tommy Chong Green Card, which is currently under development by FastFunds Financial Corp., inched closer to its national launch on Thursday, as the company announced an exclusive creative agreement with Casa Giallo, Inc. Under the terms of this partnership, Casa Giallo will be responsible for marketing, branding and advertising efforts pertaining to the innovative prepaid loyalty debit card, as well as providing both traditional and social media strategies.

“We chose Casa Giallo due to their capabilities in every phase of creative,” Kurt Martig, president of FastFunds subsidiary Cannabis Merchant Financial Solutions, stated in a news release. “They combine breadth advertising experience with cannabis industry intelligence in a way that will help set us apart in the marketplace.”

Casa Giallo is a recognized leader in the cannabis marketing industry, providing services to a variety of nationally-recognized clients – including Snoop Dogg, Tommy Chong, Eaze, Cloud V and Cannabis International Foundation.

“FastFunds is creating financial service solutions vital to maintaining the cannabis industry’s explosive growth,” stated Chris Halmo, president of Casa Giallo. “We are excited to continue our work with Tommy Chong and his licensed product lines through this partnership.”

The announcement of its arrangement with Casa Giallo capped off what has been an exciting month in the development of the company’s upcoming payments solution. Previously, FastFunds named Soren Holdings and Marketing as the brand and marketing specialist for the Tommy Chong Green Card, adding a 20-year industry veteran to its proven marketing team. Additionally, FastFunds announced the execution of a sales representation agreement with Evergreen Licensing of Northridge, California. Through these partnerships, the company gains strategic access to the resources needed to promote national distribution in the future.

FastFunds’s payments solution is being hailed as a game changing payments alternative for the country’s legal marijuana dispensaries and retailers, which are currently operating as all-cash businesses. Because the drug is still illegal at the federal level, most financial institutions refuse to work with these legal operations for fear of running afoul of federal banking laws. The Tommy Chong Green Card avoids this issue by functioning as a prepaid gift card, placing it outside the legal reach of ambiguous financial regulations.

As the company continues to make progress toward the impending launch of its solution to the cannabis industry’s current ‘cash problem’, it’s an intriguing time for prospective shareholders. Look for FastFunds to build on its recent headway in the months to come, providing a platform for sustainable returns moving forward.

As On the Move Systems continues development of its “Uber for Trucking” portal, the company is narrowing down its target market by focusing on mid-market haulers as the best potential users of the revolutionary shared economy online app.

Noting that firms in this range often lack sophisticated transport management systems (TMS) to efficiently administer complicated freight networks, OMVS points to a recent survey by Logistics Management, which revealed that only 35 percent of shippers are using TMS in their daily businesses. The same report shows that usage figure drops even lower when categorized by company size, with mid-size and small-size shippers having the lowest TMS adoption rates.

“This survey shows there is great market potential for a portal like ours that will help truckers better manage their operations,” OMVS CEO Robert Wilson stated in the news release. “And it also indicates potential new markets for our shared economy platform we can expand into down the line. We’ve been focused entirely on trucking thus far. However, there’s no reason why our portal can’t be just as effective for other logistical companies that move freight.”

An efficient TMS helps logistics firms to more effectively manage scheduling, routing, carrier selection, and load forwarding, enabling companies to make better use of their assets and labor and giving them an advantage over firms that don’t have such a system. As a result, many leading trucking companies are willing to spend large sums on technology to maximize equipment utilization and more effectively price their services.

OMVS says its new portal can improve efficiency and cost-control by bringing together independent freight haulers and trucking companies into a user-friendly, shared-economy platform.

Passport Potash is an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and development of advanced potash properties. The company’s primary project is located in the Holbrook Basin of Arizona, which, according to a report by the Arizona Geological Survey, currently contains an estimated six billion tons of potash. In addition to holding significant minable deposits, Passport’s property provides the company with a collection of strategic advantages over international potash development projects – including convenient access to BNSF rail lines, interstate highways and a major power plant located within 25 miles of the site.

Potash is used primarily by the agriculture industry as a potassium-rich form of fertilizer, providing one of the three essential nutrients needed to grow plants. Although it is a generic term used to describe a variety of minerals and manufactured chemicals containing potassium, potash is a fairly limited resource that is found in only a few places around the world. Despite the limited supply, global demand for potash is on the rise due to increasing demand for food and biofuels. For Passport, this demand could translate into an opportunity for strong financial growth moving forward.

In addition to its own property, Passport has entered into a strategic agreement with the nearby Hopi Tribe to work toward the future development of approximately 13,000 acres of contiguous privately-held tribe land, giving the company improved access to the area’s promising potash deposits. Based on historical drilling data, as well as data gathered from the drilling of 52 new holes since 2009, an independent preliminary economic assessment identified an estimated 398 million tons of mineable potash on the combined property, demonstrating the immense growth potential for Passport as it approaches the commencement of mining operations.

Currently, the company is engaged in pre-feasibility and feasibility studies to determine the best approach to initiating mining operations at its sizable project. For prospective shareholders, the estimated volume of potash onsite, as well as the growing global demand for potassium-rich fertilizers, makes Passport an intriguing early investment opportunity. Look for the company to continue making strides toward the development of its Holbrook Basin project in the months to come.

ENGlobal is a specialty engineering services firm specializing in oil and gas automation solutions, subsea control systems and engineering and construction projects. The company offers its vast suite of reputable services through its Automation and Engineering business segments, which service the upstream, midstream, downstream, alternative energy and government sectors.

ENGlobal’s Automation segment provides a wide range of services related to the design, fabrication and implementation of distributed control, instrumentation and process analytical systems. The Engineering (EPCM) segment specializes in consulting services for the development, management and execution of projects requiring professional engineering, construction management, and related support services. Within the Engineering segment, ENGlobal’s Government Services group provides engineering, design, installation and operation and maintenance of various government, public sector and international facilities, and specializes in the turnkey installation and maintenance of automation and instrumentation systems for the U.S. defense industry.

ENGlobal also operates its Subsea Controls and Integration (SCI) group, which houses the company’s patented Universal Master Control Station (UMCS), a technology co-developed with a major global oil company that recognized an important need in the offshore oil and gas industry.

In offshore oil and gas projects, subsea equipment vendors are responsible for the topsides (the upper half of an offshore oil platform) subsea controls component. In developments with multiple vendors, operators work with multiple topsides subsea controls components, creating the need for an integrated solution to streamline operations. ENGlobal’s UMCS is emerging as an ideal solution for many subsea projects of this nature.

ENGlobal’s UMCS includes standardized and secure communication interfaces between major vendors of subsea equipment, distributed control systems and topside equipment, providing seamless integration of critical control execution and data monitoring. Because UMCS takes less time to build and interface with topside systems and components, the solution offers savings in design and acceptance testing. The technology monitors and controls subsea control pods at the wellhead from multiple subsea equipment providers without disturbing the subsea vendor’s innate communication protocol.

ENGlobal previously reported that UMCS has effectively cut engineering time by 80% in terms of system and design fabrication, software development, human machine interface graphic creation, subsea communications interface, and EPU/HPU interface – this capability makes UMCS one of ENGlobal’s many market leading solutions in the broader automation and engineering industry.

Stellar Biotechnologies, Inc. (OTCQB: SBOTF), a leading provider of keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) protein, yesterday announced a collaboration agreement with Ostiones Guerrero SA de CV that will allow Stellar to greatly expand its KLH production capacity in the future. Through this agreement, the two businesses will utilize their considerable expertise in marine-based industries in order to design and develop an environmentally-sustainable KLH production facility in Baja California, Mexico. Through the construction of this facility, Stellar will gain exclusive access to an additional site for hatchery and maturation of keyhole limpets, as well as production of KLH.

“This collaboration has far-reaching, positive implications for Stellar,” Frank Oakes, president and chief executive officer of Stellar, stated in a news release. “In addition to the clear operational security offered by a second site, the partnership with Ostiones provides Stellar the opportunity to extend our leadership in the sustainable manufacture of KLH while ensuring protection of a valuable ocean resource and natural habitat.”

Environmental protection is particularly important to the future financial success of Stellar, as the source of KLH protein, the giant keyhole limpet, is native to a limited stretch of the Pacific Ocean coastline. As a result, the company has developed a proprietary harvesting process that does not harm the giant keyhole limpets, ensuring a sustainable production process that can be scaled to meet the consistently rising demands of the biotechnology industry as the clinical use of novel immunotherapies continues to increase.

According to the terms of the agreement, Stellar will be responsible for certain leasehold improvements and construction of structures and utilities at Ostiones’s Baja California facility. Ostiones will provide labor and operational support, as needed, and the two partners expect to enter into a second deal regarding the use of site resources and utilities at a later date.

Through this agreement, Stellar will be in a strong strategic position to capitalize on the forecast market growth for KLH protein. In its fiscal quarter ending March 2015, the company demonstrated the biotechnology industry’s rising interest in its product by posting a 64 percent year-over-year increase in revenue as a result of increased sales volume. For prospective shareholders, Stellar’s foresight in meeting future market demand highlights the quality of its leadership team, as well as the overall marketability of its product. Look for the company to leverage this progress in the coming months, providing a platform for sustainable investor returns moving forward.

According to the most recent published natural gas supply data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (January 2012), we had technically recoverable resources of around 2,266 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas here in the country, enough to last us more than 92 years at then-current consumption levels. Sustained growth in proved reserves, driven by mounting discoveries primarily from shale exploration, as well as conventional/tight onshore, with coalbed methane and offshore accounting for only a minimal portion, is a clear indicator according to EIA estimates that this healthy buffer of natural gas supply will be maintained for the foreseeable future, so long as we continue exploration and development.

EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2015 projections indicate a considerable increase through 2040 for dry natural gas and gas plant liquids production, with average annual production growth increasing at a faster rate than crude oil and lease condensate by as much as 72 percent, faster than everything in fact, except for renewables. With supply, disposition and price growth figures for natural gas at Henry Hub outstripping other energy sources like coal or oil by nearly a factor of two, it seems inescapable that natural gas will continue to play an increasingly vital role in not only domestic energy consumption, but also the energy export market, where natural gas is projected to enjoy nearly 6 percent growth through 2040, hitting upwards of 4.5 percent by as early as 2020.

None of this is news to Houston-headquartered ENGlobal Corp. (NASDAQ: ENG) of course, which specializes in a wide variety of upstream, midstream and downstream oil and particularly gas automation integration, as well as EPCM (engineering, procurement and construction management) solutions, via its network of strategically-located facilities around the country. ENGlobal saw solid returns for its automation segment in 2014, with continued levels of spending by the company’s midstream and downstream clientele being a major contributing factor and the company has weathered the storm of lower commodity prices thus far in 2015 as well, even showing considerable appreciation of operating profit margins for its EPCM segment. The secret to ENGlobal’s success is really no secret at all, considering how major industry players continue to seek the company out for their impeccable safety record and ability to achieve full-spectrum design, engineering, construction management and procurement services.

Because natural gas-fired power plants are a clean backdrop source for electrical production, they represent the most obvious solution to addressing the deficiencies of renewables like solar or wind, and can be quickly scaled (unlike nuclear) and fired up when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. The only thing really missing for the natural gas factor in the overall domestic energy equation is the pipeline infrastructure needed to make good use of all our natural gas, as well as the increased LNG/CNG plant capacity needed to ramp up exports, and satisfy increasingly diverse domestic sources of demand. More than $150 billion or more has already been spent on domestic natural gas distribution infrastructure and yet as much as 46 percent of pipeline capacity currently sits idle for a variety of reasons. The most pertinent portion of this idle capacity is due largely (and paradoxically) to stalled development of other pipelines and plants, which are needed to make use of existing infrastructural capacity. A good example of this phenomenon is Pennsylvania, where almost as much as 19 percent of existing wells were idle last year, due primarily to lack of natural gas pipelines needed to tie production in to.

The incredible supply and demand fundamentals in regions like the northeast, highlighted by data points such as around 44 percent of New England’s electrical energy production coming from gas-fueled generators last year, are a major driver behind increased natural gas pipeline infrastructure activity. The announcement last week of an $80 million investment by diversified energy delivery giant UIL Holdings (NYSE: UIL) in Kinder Morgan’s (NYSE: KMI) Northeast Energy Direct interstate pipeline project – which seeks to put down some 200 miles of new transmission lines, leveraging the Marcellus shale fields of Pennsylvania in order to bring gas to northeastern markets in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New York state – is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to ongoing and necessary infrastructural development.

A great deal more of such development is needed to connect existing and emerging fields to energy markets throughout the U.S. and ENGlobal is banking on being one of a handful of unquestionably trustworthy providers of the crucial automation integration and EPCM work needed to realize the necessary objectives. The announcement earlier this year by midstream company ONEOK Partners (NYSE: OKS), that they suspended development on the Demicks Lake gas processing plant designed to service the Williston Basin, as well as two others due to commodity market conditions and subsequently foreseen lack of natural gas volume growth, hasn’t stalled the associated Demicks Lake pipeline from MDU Resources Group (NYSE:MDU), which is now in Federal Energy Regulatory Commission environmental assessment.

ONEOK, which is in a position to quickly resume these projects when market conditions improve, based its rationale for halting plant development to some degree on pure logistics, and the lack of natural gas production volume growth. Even at lower prices, the Demicks Lake facility, as well as ONEOK’s Knox plant in Oklahoma and the Bronco plant in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin, are absolutely necessary when one looks at the broader national energy demand picture. However, the aforementioned lack of a truly robust domestic network of pipelines has forced regions like the northeast into using gas-powered generators. Ironically, one of the major factors in stalling the development of national pipeline infrastructure, which has led to the use of environmentally unfriendly gas and diesel generator usage increases in the northeast, has been protest by environmental groups.

The real underlying problem is throughput itself and ENGlobal has shored-up its operational footprint in order to be ready to capture demand, operationally delimiting bottom line impact due to falloff in upstream related orders, and rounding out its Q1 (ended March 28) with a healthy cash position of $24.4 million, $5.1 million in notes receivable collected after the end of the quarter, and zero borrowings under its current credit facility. Leaner and meaner, with a more focused operation, lower overhead costs and a significantly reduced project risk profile, ENGlobal is well-positioned to capitalize on sustained infrastructure demand, especially as we round the corner towards fall and winter months. ENGlobal’s full-spectrum project delivery capabilities, as well as elements like its Government Services group specializing in turnkey automation and instrumentation systems for global U.S. defense industry interests, make the company a real contender in this environment. Investor’s should keep a close eye on ENG as we head towards the exit on this year’s summer natural gas storage injection season. Especially after last year’s bitter cold weather throughout the U.S., which led to record-breaking natural gas withdrawals.
