BIT Mining Ltd. (BTCM)

MarketClub Analysis, QualityStocks, Schaeffer's and StocksEarning reported earlier on BIT Mining Ltd. (BTCM), and today we highlight the Company, here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.

BNP Paribas, a French bank, has joined a platform owned by J.P. Morgan in a bid to start leveraging digital tokens while undertaking short-term trading activities in the markets of fixed-term financial assets. This comes at a time when major banks are ramping up efforts to modernize the sector by adopting blockchain technology.

The blockchain platform, dubbed Onyx Digital Assets, has so far seen deals worth $300 billion completed since December 2020 when the platform was launched. This platform facilitates repo (or repurchase) deals in which investors are allowed to borrow high-quality financial assets for a day or so. Repo markets also make it possible for central banks around the world to conduct their mandate of implementing monetary policies.

According to official records, almost eight in 10 of all repo deals involves government bonds. This makes the repo market a highly sought-after source of top-tier collateral for banking institutions that want to secure funds for the purpose of backing derivative deals. Banks interested in financing their balance sheets also turn to repo markets.

The Onyx platform allows banks to tokenize the bonds in their possession and lend those tokens out for only a few hours. This time limitation is important because banks are mandated to compute their safety buffers at the end of every workday. Given how high the post-coronavirus requirement to maintain a bigger fraction of assets in highly liquid forms is, it is imperative that borrowed government-issued bond tokens are returned before the business day ends. This keeps those treasury bonds on the balance sheets of the banks that have lent them out through intraday repurchase deals.

The necessary details of each repo deal are contained in a smart contract on the blockchain platform. For example, the lender and borrower agree on the time at which the debt will be settled, as well as for how long the borrower can remain with the borrowed asset, among other details.

J.P. Morgan revealed that it was looking into beefing up the scope of which assets can be tokenized beyond U.S. Treasury bonds. This measure will ramp up the options of assets for those interested in short-term borrowing and lending.

As more multinational financial institutions as well as their clients join platforms such as Onyx, blockchain technology will be well on its way to becoming mainstream, and sector actors such as BIT Mining Ltd. (NYSE: BTCM) will have plenty of clients to serve.

BIT Mining Ltd. (BTCM), closed Tuesday's trading session at $2.13, up 12.1053%, on 2,108,593 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 2.039M and the stock's 52-week low/high is $1.09/$14.65.

Workhorse Group Inc. (WKHS)

Green Car Stocks, InvestorPlace, MarketClub Analysis, Schaeffer's, Kiplinger Today, QualityStocks, MarketBeat, StockMarketWatch, StreetInsider, StocksEarning, TradersPro, The Street, Trades Of The Day, Daily Trade Alert, TopPennyStockMovers, TraderPower, BUYINS.NET, Zacks, Wealth Insider Alert, Early Bird, Jason Bond, Cabot Wealth, InvestorsUnderground, PoliticsAndMyPortfolio, StockOodles, The Online Investor, Marketbeat.com, Profitable Trader Authority, Stock Beast, Wealth Daily, Energy and Capital, The Best Newsletters, Daily Market Beat and The Wealth Report reported earlier on Workhorse Group Inc. (WKHS), and today we highlight the Company, here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.

In terms of monthly payments, insurance, maintenance and fuel, the total cost of owning an electric vehicle on a monthly basis is significantly lower than the corresponding cost of an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, according to a recent study.

It isn’t surprising that many motorists get sticker shock when they see the price tag of most electric vehicles. This is understandable given that generally speaking, the most affordable electric vehicle costs approximately twice as much as the most affordable gasoline or diesel-fueled vehicle. However, the recent study suggests that motorists should look at a different metric when comparing ICE vehicles to EVs; that metric is the monthly cost of owning these types of vehicles.

The report shows that when a buyer focuses their attention on the federal tax benefits, fuel savings, and savings on maintenance as well as other monthly costs of an electric vehicle, it becomes undeniable that an EV typically costs less to own and is therefore a more pocket-friendly alternative.

Previous studies had shown that the high up-front cost of buying an EV was worthwhile because the buyer would eventually save as the years go by. However, the study conducted by Energy Innovation & Technology LLC established that in the vast majority of the United States, the cost of owning an electric vehicle was lower than owning an equivalent diesel- or gasoline-powered vehicle. This cost difference starts as soon as you acquire and begin financing the car, not years down the road.

The team of researchers came to these conclusions after focusing on half a dozen EV models, including the Nissan Leaf, Kia Niro EV EX, Hyundai Kona Electric SEL, Volvo XC40 Recharge Plus, and two others. The electric vehicles selected for this study had fossil-fuel equivalents from the same manufacturer. The team then came up with models of the costs of vehicle ownership in each of the 50 states. Those costs included fuel costs, insurance premiums, maintenance and repair costs, car loan repayment, and applicable fees and taxes, as well as the cost of electricity in each state.

Ford’s F-150 Lightning and Hyundai’s Kona Electric SEL were found to be more affordable to own in every single state. This affordability was noticed even when the electric versions cost $10,000 more than their fossil fuel counterparts did. This pattern generally played out across the different vehicle models compared.

The study also listed California, Washington, Oregon, Delaware, New Jersey and Colorado as the best states in which to own an electric vehicle.

As more information becomes available about the cost effectiveness of electric vehicles, manufacturers such as Workhorse Group Inc. (NASDAQ: WKHS) will see sales trending upwards for years to come, especially in the price-sensitive market segments.

Workhorse Group Inc. (WKHS), closed Tuesday's trading session at $3.09, up 3.6913%, on 4,883,049 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 4.883M and the stock's 52-week low/high is $2.11/$18.59.

In a recent interview, the Minister of Energy in Qatar, Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, stated that a decline in investments in the production of gas in a bid to reduce carbon emissions had contributed to the United Kingdom’s current fuel crisis. In the interview, Sherida Al-Kaabi stated that Qatar was willing to help England with its crisis as he condemned nations in the West that had demonized gas and oil companies.

The minister explained that the main cause of the current price increase for energy as well as gas prices in various parts of the world, including Europe, could be traced back to even before Ukraine’s invasion. He pointed to an increase in the number of countries calling for the transition into the use of renewable sources of energy and meeting net-zero targets had played a big role in causing this crisis.

These comments were made as a delegation from Qatar, which was led by the Emir, met with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to announce that they had entered into a strategic partnership that would involve Qatar investing £10 billion ($1.26 billion) across the United Kingdom.

This investment into the country comes after Ofgem, an energy regulator, signaled that the price cap for energy was expected to increase by about £800 ($1, 012) during winter. This price will be its highest recorded price, with little remedy for the current prices of gas that consumers in the UK are dealing with.

During the interview, the Qatari minister of energy also noted that it wasn’t possible to achieve the transition to the use of renewable energy without using fossil fuels because the sun doesn’t shine all the time and the wind doesn’t always blow. He added that the best fossil fuel available to the world was gas.

Currently, Qatar is one of the biggest suppliers of natural gas to the United Kingdom. The country also has the third-largest proven natural gas reserves around the globe. It ships this fuel in numerous liquefied natural gas tankers to three LNG terminals in Britain.

The minister also stated that in comparison to other nations, the United Kingdom was in much better shape, adding that there wasn’t much Qatar could do to reduce the price of the fuel in the short term. He then noted that the Ukraine war was affecting the fuel’s price, adding that while it would take time to resolve the issue, Qatar was ready to help and would do its best.

Companies such as Alliance Resource Partners LP (NASDAQ: ARLP) also seem poised to benefit from the bullish conditions in the commodities markets.

The QualityStocks Company Corner

Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Mullen Automotive Inc. (MULN).

  • J.D. Power survey reports range was factor most cited in deciding what EV to buy
  • Mullen is making significant strides toward producing vehicles that feature some of the longest ranges available in the EV space
  • Recognizing the critical role of battery and range in the success of an EV, Mullen is exploring other advanced battery technologies

One of the challenges preventing enthusiastic acceptance of electric vehicles is range anxiety, fear that an electric car will run out of battery or fuel before the driver can reach their destination or a charging station. The concern is valid — a January 2022 Energy.gov study reported that the median rage for EV last year was 234 miles (https://ibn.fm/tvIzU). Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ: MULN), an emerging electric vehicle manufacturer, is focused on improving that number; the company is currently actively testing advanced battery technology which can provide a range of 600-plus miles on a full charge at the pack level (https://ibn.fm/4H957). Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ: MULN) announced results of its solid-state polymer battery testing with the Battery Innovation Center (“BIC”) in Indiana. According to the update, BIC’s testing results show the solid-state polymer cell, rated at 300 Ah and 3.7 volts, tested in at 343.28 Ah at 4.2 volts, exceeding expectation and in line with test tolerance from previous EV Grid test results. Test data collected from both BIC and EV Grid demonstrate an impressive outcome and future for solid-state batteries. It is expected that with this technology, when scaled to the vehicle pack level, a 150-kilowatt hour solid-state battery can, on a full charge, deliver over 600 miles of range for the Mullen FIVE EV Crossover. “I’m impressed with the ongoing performance of the solid-state cell after going thru multiple intense testing sessions from accredited testing facilities,” said David Michery, CEO and chairman of Mullen Automotive. “The battery has performed exceptionally well, and I’m pleased with the results from BIC in Indiana.” To view the full press release, visit https://ibn.fm/pwwX0

Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC).

Flora (NASDAQ: FLGC), a leading all-outdoor cultivator, manufacturer and distributor of global cannabis products and brands, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary JustCBD will be launching its line of Novel Foods-registered CBD products on Amazon.co.uk. Since its entry into the now £700 million CBD market in October 2021, Amazon U.K. has expanded the initial pilot-only program to include vendors who have demonstrated compliance with U.K. CBD Novel Food regulations. Producers awarded U.K. Novel Food authorization must prove the product is safe for consumption and labeled correctly. “With health and wellness playing an increasingly important role in customers’ lives, we are excited to increase the selection of quality CBD products offered to Amazon customers in the U.K.,” said Hussein Rakine, CEO of JustCBD. “The JustCBD team looks forward to working closely with Amazon to expand our product offering to other countries as our partnership and brand presence in the United Kingdom grows.” To view the full press release, visit https://ibn.fm/T2dEo. A study exploring the concentration of marijuana pollen in the atmosphere in the Spanish city of Murcia has discovered that levels of pollen are increasing in the atmosphere. This is a clear indication that the extent of illicit cannabis farming is trending upwards. For decades, scientists have been documenting the amount of marijuana pollen present in the air in order to estimate the extent of illegal marijuana cultivation taking place in different cities, including Cartagena, Lorca and Murcia. This trio of cities is of special interest because they are located along the seashore acting as a border between Spain and Morocco. The researchers were intrigued to discover that, after analyzing the collected pollen, only a small fraction of the pollen could be traced to North Africa. This means that the vast majority of the illicit grows were on Spanish soil and that the country was becoming increasingly less dependent on imported cannabis. Rather, it was now depending on a domestically produced crop to meet the local needs and the needs of the other foreign markets in need of this illicit marijuana.

Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) is an internationally focused cannabis brand builder that leverages natural, cost-effective cultivation practices to supply cannabis derivatives to its diverse business divisions, including cosmetics, hemp textiles, and food and beverage. Flora Growth operates one of the largest outdoor cultivation facilities in the world with an aim of marketing a higher-quality premium product at below-market prices. By prioritizing natural ingredients and value-chain sustainability across its portfolio, the company creates premium products that help consumers restore and thrive.

Flora Growth completed the first traditional cannabis IPO on Nasdaq in May 2021. Although currently headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, with plans to relocate its head office to Miami, Florida, the company’s base of operations is in Colombia, where it has built an extensive distribution network that includes Colombia’s largest distributors.

Currently, Flora Growth is organically growing market share for its existing brand portfolio (pharmaceuticals, textiles, cosmetics, and food & beverage) while seeking revenue-generating acquisitions that offer an accretive distribution network to amplify revenue growth.

Existing Brand & Product Portfolio

Flora Growth’s portfolio spans a number of verticals – each with a thoughtful brand designed to resonate with its intended end consumer. In line with the company’s mission, each brand prioritizes natural ingredients and value-chain sustainability.

Flora Lab S.A.S

Flora Lab is the company’s GMP certified manufacturing and R&D center focused on producing pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals for domestic and international markets. Its offerings include product lines that are private label, white-label, and custom formulas.

Through Flora Lab, Flora Growth has relationships with 1,500+ distribution channels, manufactures 63+ OTC products registered with INVIMA (Colombia National Food and Drug Surveillance Institute), and holds multiple GMP certifications enabling international export in an effort to leverage Flora Lab’s capacity to produce a wide range of CBD-infused products.

Flora Beauty

Flora Beauty is the company’s CBD beauty and cosmetics division founded by fashion and beauty industry icon Paulina Vega. Its current offerings include two CBD skincare brands targeting the U.S. and Latin American markets – MIND NATURALS and AWE. These lines exemplify Flora Growth’s socially conscious approach to business.

Currently, Flora Beauty products are offered globally through e-commerce, as well as through Falabella’s 111 retail locations across Latin America. The company is in negotiations with major department stores to launch the line in the U.S. and is also exploring opportunities in the U.K. and other European markets.

KASA Wholefoods

KASA Wholefoods is a Colombian manufacturer of food and beverages leveraging responsibly sourced exotic fruits from the Amazon. KASA has a $10 million+ distribution agreement with Tropi, Colombia’s largest food distributor, which has 130,000+ distribution points across the country.

Mambe, KASA’s leading brand, is already offered through over 980 distribution points across Colombia. Flora Growth expects this network to grow to over 1,200 distribution points in 2021, including one of Colombia’s largest coffee chains, Tostao Café & Pan.

Hemp Textiles & Co.

Through its Hemp Textiles division, Flora Growth intends to utilize its large land package and cultivation infrastructure to capture market share in the rapidly growing hemp industrials segment.

The company’s first brand through this division, Stardog Loungewear, offers a line of comfortable loungewear made from natural, organic materials. Stardog has been distributing globally through e-commerce and brick and mortar channels in Bogota since fall 2020, and the company intends to open U.S. brick and mortar locations in 2021.

Accretive M&A

Flora Growth is targeting transactions to complete the supply chain via key infrastructure to enhance its global distribution with the aim to compete on low-cost, high-quality inputs paired with premium brands that create business lines with robust margins.

To date, Flora has announced two major transactions.

Koch & Gsell (Acquisition)

  • Amplify CPG portfolio’s revenue growth through leading brand, Heimat, currently with TTM revenues of $7.6 million.
  • Leverage Koch &Gsell’s distribution network of 2,500+ stores to introduce Flora to the Swiss, European and Asian markets.
  • Bring patented hemp cigarette manufacturing technology into new markets utilizing Flora’s high-quality cannabis.

Hoshi International (Investment)

  • Opens gateway for Flora Growth’s cannabis through international distribution agreements in the EU and U.K.
  • Hoshi’s experienced team and increased access to the EU cannabis market to serve as a catalyst for revenue growth.

Cultivation

Key to Flora Growth’s expansion efforts is its cultivation strategy. The company’s Cosechemos farm, located in Bucaramanga, Colombia, is currently licensed to cultivate 247 acres of cannabis. Through three successful pilot crop plantings, the location has demonstrated a production cost of just $0.06/gram. For comparison, the average cost of North American cannabis (based on 2019 figures from Aphria, Tilray, Sundial, and Aurora) equates to roughly $1.89/gram.
Flora Growth is uniquely positioned to capitalize on Colombia’s favorable growing conditions, low-cost infrastructure, and affordable local workforce as it looks to ramp up its cultivation efforts moving forward.

  • Study shows that COVID-19 pandemic has affected mental health of 59% of U.S. population, intensifying already-serious issue
  • CYBN-sponsored feasibility study indicates ketamine-induced changes in brain’s functional connectivity persisted for several days after receiving the substance
  • Kernel Flow pivotal in developing most accurate, effective treatment regimens for patients

The challenges associated with mental-health issues are rising, following the global pandemic. Already a serious problem before COVID-19, mental health has become even more pressing now, with many companies committed to offering relief to the nearly 1 billion people worldwide who deal with mental-health issues. Cybin (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to progressing psychedelics to therapeutics, is making major progress in that direction based on pilot results from a recent study evaluating a proprietary neuroimaging technology (https://ibn.fm/1vach). Cybin (NYSE American: CYBN) (NEO: CYBN), today announced the submission of an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). According to the update, the IND is for Cybin’s phase 1/2a first-in-human clinical trial evaluating CYB003, a proprietary deuterated psilocybin analog, for the treatment of major depressive disorder (“MDD”). “Following the successful completion of our IND-enabling work just last month, we are very excited to have reached this major milestone toward advancing CYB003 into clinical development so quickly. Based on preclinical studies, our proprietary psilocybin analog has the potential to offer numerous advantages over classic psilocybin with the potential to ultimately provide better outcomes for people suffering with MDD,” said Cybin CEO Doug Drysdale. “This FDA submission is the next major step in the advancement of CYB003, and we continue to work tirelessly to bring this innovative therapeutic option to people as quickly as possible. We look forward to continuing to work with the FDA to initiate the phase 1/2a trial in mid-2022.” To view the full press release, visit https://ibn.fm/IdvNP. In today’s world, we spend most of our day in front of a screen, be it a phone, laptop or computer. While what we’re doing may be productive, overusing technology may have a negative effect on mental health. This is why undergoing a digital and/or social detox to help disconnect from technology may be beneficial. Here’s what you need to know about media detoxes. What are social media and digital detoxes, and why should you detox?
A social media detox is when an individual refrains from using or engaging with social media for a set period, or indefinitely, to improve their well-being and mental health. A digital detox is when someone totally refrains from or intentionally decreases the amount of time spent using all electronic devices, including tablets, TVs, computers and smartphones. During a digital detox, individuals usually avoid watching TV, playing video games, and sending text messages and emails as well as the use of all other electronic devices. Unfortunately for some people who have already been diagnosed with mental illness, a digital detox may be too little, too late. Such people may in the future be better served by the novel treatments that are currently being developed by many companies, including Cybin Inc. (NYSE American: CYBN) (NEO: CYBN), which is evaluating the use of psychedelics in the treatment of mental health.

Cybin Inc. (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN) is a Canada-based life sciences company focused on the pharmaceutical development of psychedelic products, as well as the functional mushroom market.

The early-stage company boasts an experienced management team featuring industry veterans from pharmaceutical and consumer product backgrounds who have run multiple clinical trials and collectively helped facilitate billions of dollars in product revenues. The team is dedicated to the development of products and protocols within the psychedelic, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.

In particular, Cybin aims to further build upon and expand its intellectual property (IP) portfolio, which is structured around unique psilocybin delivery mechanisms that target a number of different therapeutic indications. In addition, the company has dedicated itself toward furthering its research and IP within the fields of synthetic compounds, extraction methods, the isolation of chemical compounds, new drug formulations and protocol regimes.

Serenity Life Sciences & Natures Journey Inc.

The company’s business model is centered around its two core subsidiaries, Serenity Life Sciences and Natures Journey Inc., which comprise Cybin’s two-pronged approach toward delivering fungi-derived psychedelic and medicinal products.

Serenity Life Sciences is focused on furthering research and development of psilocybin-based medications. Psilocybin is found in certain species of mushrooms and is a non-habit forming, naturally occurring psychedelic compound. Research into psilocybin has shown positive results for the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, eating disorders, ADHD and other indications.

Natures Journey Inc. operates the Journey brand, which specializes in developing proprietary medicinal mushroom products that target and promote mental wellness, immune boosting detoxification and overall general health and wellbeing.

Partnership with the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science (TCPS)

Staying true to its axiom of being a research-first medicinal mushroom life sciences company, Cybin recently announced its entry into a strategic partnership with the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science (TCPS), with the goal of furthering its ongoing psilocybin research efforts and expanding Cybin’s psilocybin IP portfolio (http://nnw.fm/9EUkI).

“While there is evidence to support psilocybin as a treatment for certain indications, the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science is taking a clinical approach to prove or disprove the safety and efficacy of psilocybin-based microdosing through an open science approach,” Paul Glavine, CEO of Cybin, stated in a news release.

“We are excited to join forces with Cybin and to offer our expertise. A number of firms had approached TCPS, but Cybin demonstrated a superior commitment to high-quality research and integrity in product development. Our high standards for scientific rigor and transparency will find a fitting home within the culture Cybin is cultivating in Canada and abroad,” Thomas Anderson, co-founder of the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science, added.

Journey’s Product Monetization & Market Potential for Nutraceutical Supplements

Although Cybin is at the forefront of companies seeking to conduct clinical trials aimed at gaining regulatory approval for psilocybin and other psychedelic products, the company has also placed a great deal of emphasis on generating meaningful revenue from its very outset.

Cybin’s Journey brand has is launching a range of supplements comprised of popular fungi-derived ingredients such as Reishi, Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps. Purported to aid focus and concentration while promoting neurogenesis, Journey’s range of nutraceutical products provides Cybin with a crucial foothold within the non-psychedelic legal supplement market, which is valued at over $25 billion globally and growing at a 9% year-over-year rate.

Pharmaceutical Psychedelics

In addition to the company’s range of non-psychedelic supplements, Cybin has plans to carry out a clinical trial with a new delivery system for its psilocybin-based medications later this year. Ultimately, the company aims to enter into technology transfer agreements with global pharmaceutical companies after phase 1 & phase 2 clinical trials are complete in order to accelerate regulatory approvals in major indications in global markets with entire lifecycle product management.

With products such as psilocybin truffles already legal in nations such as the Netherlands, Jamaica and Bulgaria, Cybin has positioned itself to capitalize on an eventual legalization of psychedelic mushroom-derived products in the future. Working within a regulatory environment with strong similarities to that which dealt with cannabis prior to the industry’s eventual legalization by the Canadian government in 2018, Cybin is laying the groundwork for the moment pharmaceutical psychedelics gain acceptance in North America and abroad.

Amalgamation Agreement and Financing

Cybin recently announced its entry into an amalgamation agreement dated June 26, 2020, with Clarmin Explorations Inc. (TSX.V: CX) and 2762898 Ontario Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Clarmin (http://nnw.fm/w04LH). Completion of the transactions contemplated in the amalgamation agreement will result in the reverse takeover of Clarmin by Cybin.

In connection with the proposed transaction, Cybin plans to complete a “best-efforts” brokered private placement of subscription receipts of Cybin, with a syndicate of agents co-led by Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. (Stifel GMP) and Eight Capital, to raise a minimum of C$14 million ($10 million) and a maximum of C$21 million ($15 million), with a 15% agents’ option.

To date, Cybin has raised approximately C$10,400,000 through an initial financing round and its series A financing round.

Cybin Inc. (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN), closed Tuesday's trading session at $0.68, up 5.0842%, on 399,575 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 395,840 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.3903/$3.38.

Eat Well Investment Group Inc. (CSE: EWG) (OTC: EWGFF), headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, is a publicly traded vertically integrated plant-based foods company combining the best of agribusiness, foodtech, and CPG brands to supply the world with innovative, delicious, and better-for-you foods. The company supplies Beyond Meat, Ingredion, Nestle, General Mills and more. It is on track to generate $60 million in revenue for 2021 and is projecting $100 million in revenue for 2022.

Eat Well’s management team has an extensive record of sourcing, financing and building successful companies across a broad range of industries and maintains a current investment mandate on the health and wellness industry. The team has financed and invested in early-stage venture companies for more than 25 years, resulting in the ability to construct a portfolio of opportunistic investments intended to generate superior risk-adjusted returns. Eat Well’s strategic advisory board includes pioneers in the plant-based foods industry, including HRH Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of KBW Ventures, and Jeff Dunn, CEO of Bolthouse Farms who previously held senior leadership positions at both Campbell Soup Company and The Coca Cola Company.

The company’s plant-based investment thesis is centered on growing its seed-to-market operations, which include raw ingredients, processing, pulse fractionation, unique IP and premium consumer packaged goods (CPG). Eat Well Group is building a unique ecosystem that can supply these essential cornerstone needs for society. The company has plant-based foods and nutrition experts specializing in the latest science and original thinking for what consumers want most – high quality and affordability in healthy, clean and simple products.

Eat Well focuses on intellectual property, product portfolio development and long-term value creation for stakeholders in a rapidly expanding industry. As an emergent sector globally, plant-based foods represent a double-digit annual growth category, with more than 35% of the world’s supply of pulse proteins coming from Canada.

Portfolio

On July 31, 2021, Eat Well Group acquired Belle Pulses Ltd., one of the top pulse processors in Canada. Belle Pulses has been operating for over 40 years and had over $60 million in sales in 2020. The company counts a broad range of customers in over 35 countries, including global strategic food companies and major ingredient distributors. Currently, Belle produces nearly 100,000 tons of fully traceable seed and product, yielding over 26,000 tons of pure plant protein.

Eat Well also owns 100% of Sapientia Technology Inc. Led by Dr. Eugenio Bortone – one of the world’s preeminent food scientists and extrusion processing experts and the inventor of Frito-Lay’s Twisted Cheetos – Sapientia has filed four patents around the “protein curl” and crispy-puff-style snack. By focusing on texture and crunch, Sapientia’s patents solve one of the major problems that large scale snack food companies have struggled with for years – how to offer appealing texture and flavor in a guilt-free, not fried, natural and healthy alternative to the majority of snack food products available today.

Eat Well owns a 51% share of Amara Organic Foods, with an option to acquire additional ownership up to 80 percent. Amara, one of the fastest-growing baby food brands in America, is a food technology company that uses science and proprietary IP that locks in taste and texture to make healthy, organic, non-GMO, plant-based, convenient baby and children’s food possible for modern-day families. From baby food to toddler food and beyond, Amara is driven by the belief that setting kids on the right path from a young age will help them live better, feel better and think better for the rest of their lives. Amara’s revenues have grown by more than 400% since January 2021, and the brand’s success has drawn media coverage from business news outlets including Forbes and TechCrunch.

Market Outlook

According to an August 2021 report from Bloomberg Intelligence, the plant-based foods market is expected to experience explosive growth, comprising up to 7.7% of the global protein market by 2030 at a value of over $162 billion, up from $29.4 billion in 2020. Bloomberg notes that plant-based alternatives are here to stay, and that consumption will grow rapidly. Plant-based food sales in 2020 grew twice as fast as overall food sales, according to Polaris Market Research.

Pulse proteins (fava, yellow pea, etc.) are a foundational ingredient to most plant-based foods due to their high protein content and their readily available, affordable supply.

Many analysts view the food tech market as similar to the early days of the Internet in that plant-based foods represent a worldwide secular trend of steady growth and potential that will revolutionize the way society functions and people experience nutrition.

The sector continues to experience significant M&A transactions. Recently, Sol Cuisine was acquired by PlantPlus Foods LLC, a major South American protein producer, in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $126 million, or 6x revenue.

SPYR (OTCQB: SPYR), dba SPYR Technologies, a technology company, has signed a material definitive agreement to acquire GeoTraq Inc. from NASDAQ-traded JanOne Inc. (NASDAQ: JAN). According to the announcement, GeoTraq develops and manufactures self-contained and ultra-small Mobile Internet of Things (“IoT”) modules that can be used for asset tracking and location-based services, as well as sensor modules for remote monitoring. GeoTraq Mobile IoT modules are small, offer a long battery life, consume low power and provide global LPWAN connectivity. Because the modules work right out of the box, users eliminate the hassle and cost of designing and building a printed circuit board for mounting. In addition, the modules achieve extremely accurate indoor and outdoor positioning capability without any global positioning system (“GPS”) or global navigation satellite system (“GNSS”); they only use LTE radio by cellular tower triangulation. In addition, SPYR subsidiary, Applied Magix Inc. is evaluating the possibility of adding health and wellness products to its product category portfolio. The trillion-dollar global market is ripe for more personalization in the areas of health, fitness, nutrition, appearance, sleep and mindfulness, which is where Applied Magix sees opportunity. “While home and car are important to most people, really the most important thing to most people should be, and is, their health,” said Applied Magix CEO Dr. Harald Zink in the press release. “We are excited about exploring which products to add to our health and wellness line. . . . Technology over the past few years has made health and health monitoring easier and more accessible than ever, and we are really excited about adding this most important category to Applied Magix, which will be accessible under a new Health section on our website.” To view the full press releases, visit https://ibn.fm/x0tgh and https://ibn.fm/Bluyi

SPYR Inc. (OTCQB: SPYR), dba SPYR Technologies, is a technology company which, through its Applied MagiX Inc. subsidiary, develops and resells Apple®-ecosystem-compatible products with an emphasis on the growing, multibillion-dollar Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Home and Connected Car markets.

SPYR continues to identify and target acquisitions with an aim of growing its footprint in the industry and expanding the products it offers consumers, including companies developing artificial intelligence and smart-technology products. In 2020, SPYR acquired Applied MagiX Inc., a registered Apple developer and reseller of Apple ecosystem compatible products with an emphasis on the smart home market, as a wholly owned subsidiary. Applied MagiX operates in the IoT market and, more specifically, the segment of the market related to the development, manufacture and sale of devices and accessories specifically built on Apple’s HomeKit® framework. These products work within the Apple HomeKit ecosystem and are exclusive to the Apple market and its consumers.

Initially, while working to develop, manufacture and sell its own line of branded products, Applied MagiX will be sourcing HomeKit products and accessories from worldwide manufacturers, vetting and selecting best-of-breed products, selling them directly to consumers and supporting them. The company focuses on Apple consumers – a target market with higher disposable income and a demonstrated willingness to pay a premium for quality products. On average, Apple product users spend roughly twice as much on technology as other smartphone users. Those who purchase smart home products spend more than $3,000 on average.

By creating smart hardware and software solutions exclusively for Apple consumers, SPYR addresses a problem faced by that market – having few “smart” devices that integrate with Apple’s HomeKit, despite being the most affluent and loyal consumers of tech products.

Products

The company’s Applied MagiX subsidiary offers multiple product lines to its target markets. First, the subsidiary is a reseller of third-party manufactured Apple HomeKit and Apple CarPlay compatible products. HomeKit comes pre-installed on every new iPhone, while the CarPlay platform is licensed by all major auto manufacturers. Applied MagiX identifies white label products, applies the company’s branding, improves the software and sells these improved products to consumers. Finally, Applied MagiX is developing its own proprietary line of smart home and connected car products, including Apple-compatible home cameras, sensors and alarms, as well as additional Apple-compatible smart car products in the iOS ecosystem.

Among the subsidiary’s products sold to consumers are:

  • The MagixDrive Wireless CarPlay adapter, which allows users to access CarPlay wirelessly using their iPhones
  • The HomeKit Secure Video Camera with iCloud Storage
  • The Multipurpose Sensor with Alarm
  • The Environment and Motion Sensor
  • The Window and Door Contact Sensor

Market Outlook

According to Statista, the global smart home market is expected to generate revenue of more than $104 billion in 2021. The market is forecast to hit more than $187 billion in revenue by 2025, recording a CAGR of 15.75 percent.

The number of active households in the worldwide smart home market is expected to reach nearly 500 million by 2025. Household penetration is just over 12 percent in 2021 and is projected to nearly double by 2025 to more than 22 percent.

Allied Market Research valued the global connected car market at more than $63 billion in 2019 and projected a CAGR of 17.1 percent, which would push revenue to more than $225 billion by 2027. Allied identified rising consumer demand for connectivity solutions, surging need for constant connectivity, increasing dependency on technology and an upsurge in tech-savvy population as key factors driving the projected growth of the connected car market.

Silo Pharma Inc. (OTCQB: SILO)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Silo Pharma Inc. (OTCQB: SILO).

Scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and the University of California Davis are planning to screen compounds in an effort to find new non-hallucinogenic treatments for substance-use disorders. This research will be funded by a $2.7 million grant that was awarded to the institutions by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The studies are based on evidence from animal and human tests which suggest that psychedelics possess brain-altering effects that could be beneficial in the treatment of addiction. Prior research has also found that psychedelics rewire some regions in the brain that are involved in post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse and depression. UC Davis associate professor David Olson, from the departments of biochemistry, chemistry and molecular medicine, hopes to find similar effects among compounds that don’t possess the hallucinogenic effects of substances, such as LSD. Olson refers to these compounds as psychoplastogens because they can alter the brain. The government-funded research will be a welcome addition to the privately funded studies undertaken by entities such as Silo Pharma Inc. (OTCQB: SILO) in a bid to advance psychedelic medicine. On May 19, 2022, Silo Pharma (OTCQB: SILO) announced that The Translational Psychedelic Research (“TrPR”) Program at UCSF (University of California San Francisco) had “successfully dosed [with psilocybin] patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease.” TrPR connects researchers and medical professionals studying how psychedelics, including psilocybin, ketamine, etc., affect brain functions and other organ systems. Silo Pharma focuses on palliative uses of psychedelics for “PTSD, Parkinson’s, and other rare neurological disorders.” In teaming up with TrPR. Silo is exploring psilocybin’s anti-inflammatory possibilities in patients exhibiting signs of Parkinson’s Disease. 

Silo Pharma Inc. (OTCQB: SILO), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company, is focused on merging traditional therapeutics with psychedelic research for people suffering from indications such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other rare neurological disorders. Silo’s mission is to identify assets to license and fund research that the company believes will be transformative to the wellbeing of patients and the health care industry.

Silo is committed to developing innovative solutions to address a variety of underserved conditions. Combining Silo’s resources with world-class medical research partners, the company looks to make significant advances in the medical and psychedelic space.

Silo works to identify and partner with leading medical universities, providing the needed financial resources to develop safe therapeutic treatments while moving cutting-edge research through the clinical stage and into commercialization. The company is well-capitalized with access to additional funds as opportunities present themselves.

Silo recently engaged Donohoe Advisory Associates LLC for consulting and advisory services in connection with the potential uplisting of Silo’s common shares to the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Research

Silo has entered into research agreements and partnerships with multiple leading medical universities.

The company is involved in a sponsored study with Maastricht University utilizing repeated low doses of ketamine and psilocybin to examine the effects on cognitive and emotional dysfunctions in Parkinson’s disease and to understand its mechanism of action. The investigator in the Netherlands is acquiring the substances for the study and will then finalize the documentation to submit to the ethics committee.

Additionally, in June 2021, Silo announced its entry into a scientific research agreement with the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). The agreement will leverage four other clinical trials being planned by the university to determine the effects of psilocybin on inflammation. The study will take place at The Translational Psychedelic Research (TrPR) Program at UCSF.

Silo also recently extended its exclusive option agreement with the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) to explore a novel invention generally known as joint-homing peptides. These peptides are being developed for use in the investigation and treatment of arthritogenic processes and can be used for enhanced targeting of therapeutic agents.

This agreement includes the study of two separate peptides. The first is an option and study for the treatment of arthritis. The second is a patented licensed peptide for the central nervous system, with an initial study for MS autoimmune diseases, in addition to rheumatoid arthritis. Animal studies are underway for both initial indications relating to the UMB agreement, with the potential for studies evaluating additional indications in the future.

Finally, Silo signed an agreement with Columbia University granting it an option to license certain assets currently under development, including an Alzheimer’s disease formulation targeting NDMARs and 5-HT4Rs, as well as a prophylactic treatment for stress-induced disorders and PTSD. Both candidates are currently being tested in mice and have already provided early data.

In addition to its university partnerships, Silo entered a joint venture agreement with Zylo Therapeutics Inc. (“ZTI”) focused on the development of ketamine and psilocybin using ZTI’s Z-Pod™ technology for the transdermal time released delivery of therapeutics. In November 2021, the company announced ZTI’s reception of its first ketamine shipment and initiation of loading ketamine into its Z-Pod technology. In a news release, Eric Weisblum, CEO of Silo, called the development an “important milestone” that will help the company “study the benefits of slow-release transdermal release of Ketamine.”

Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP).

Knightscope, Inc. (Nasdaq: KSCP), a developer of advanced physical security technologies focused on enhancing U.S. security operations, today announced the deployment of a K5 Autonomous Security Robot (ASR) in a popular northern California park. A parks and recreation organization that serves a large, densely developed suburban population will be using the ASR to patrol the area with specific mission of protecting the quality of life and environment of the community. The Huntington Park, California, chief of police recently participated in a webinar on the introduction of robots into the federal government where he relayed his success using an ASR in a public park. According to the new client, the chief’s experience contributed to the decision to select Knightscope as an integral part of their security program.

Knightscope, Inc. (NASDAQ: KSCP), founded in 2013 and based in Mountain View, California, is a leader in the development of autonomous security capabilities targeting to disrupt the $500 billion security industry. Knightscope’s technology uniquely combines self-driving technology, robotics, artificial intelligence and electric vehicles.

Knightscope designs and builds Autonomous Security Robots (ASRs) that provide 24/7/365 security to the places you live, work, visit and study. The company’s client list covers public institutions and commercial business operations, including multiple Fortune 1000 companies to date. These ASRs have been proven to enhance safety at hospitals, logistics facilities, manufacturing plants, schools and corporations. ASRs act as highly cost-effective complementary systems to traditional security and law enforcement officials, providing an additional advantage by continuing to offer uninterrupted patrolling capabilities across the country.

The company’s ASRs have assisted in the arrest of suspects involved in crimes ranging from armed robbery to hit-and-runs. Their machine-embedded thermal scanning capability even aided in preventing the breakout of a major fire. You can learn more about the crime fighting wins at www.knightscope.com/crime

The company has achieved several milestones since its creation in 2013, including:

  • Establishing itself in a 15,000-square-foot facility located in Mountain View, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley, where Knightscope designs, engineers and builds its technology (Made in the USA)
  • Operating for more than 1 million hours in the field and securing contracts across five time zones, from Hawaii to Rhode Island
  • Raising over $100 million since inception to build its technology from scratch and generating over $13 million in lifetime revenue, validating both the market opportunity and the technology

Growth Capital & Proposed Nasdaq Listing

With backing from more than 28,000 investors and four major corporations and over $100 million raised since inception, Knightscope is poised to be an industry leader in the future of public safety and security.

On December 1, 2021, Knightscope announced the commencement of an offering of up to $40 million of its Class A common stock, with shares to be listed immediately following closing on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol ‘KSCP’. The offering is for up to 4 million shares priced at $10 per share. Learn more at www.knightscope.com/investors

Company Mission – Reimagining Public Safety

Knightscope’s long-term vision has an eye on the greater good. The company’s mission is to make the United States of America the safest nation in the world while supporting the 2+ million law enforcement and security professionals across the country.

Crime has an estimated negative economic impact in excess of $2 trillion annually. As crime is reduced, positive impacts will likely be realized across several aspects of society, including housing, financial markets, insurance, municipal budgets, local business and safety in general.

Knightscope CEO William Santana Li was interviewed by Kevin O’Leary, more commonly known as Shark Tank’s Mr. Wonderful. When asked to explain how the benefits provided by the ASRs outrank a human doing the same job, Li said, “First, just the simple presence of a physical deterrent causes criminal behavior to change. Second, the machines are self-driving cars that patrol all around and recharge themselves. They also generate 90 terabytes of data per year. No human would ever be able to process that. The robots are intended to be eyes and ears for the humans, not a one-to-one replacement.”

The Knightscope solution to reduce crime combines the physical presence of ASRs, sometimes referred to as proprietary Autonomous Data Machines, with real-time onsite data collection and analysis. The ASRs are fitted with eye-level 360° cameras, thermal scanning, public address announcements and various other features that work in tandem with humans to provide law enforcement officers and security guards unprecedented situational awareness.

Those 90 terabytes of data are then formatted in a useable way, so law enforcement can leverage that information and execute their responsibilities more effectively.

Public Safety Innovation

The company’s recurring revenue business model is set up to mimic the recurring societal problem of crime, and it takes into consideration the fact that innovation in the security and public safety industry has been stagnant for decades. Because the traditional practices of the sector have remained unchanged for years, automation has potential to drive substantial cost savings – and significant improvement in capabilities.

Human security guards are one of both the largest expenses and the largest liabilities for companies. Knightscope’s robots are offered at an effective price of $3 to $9 per hour, compared with approximately $85 for an armed off-duty law enforcement officer and $15 to $35 for an unarmed security guard.

This innovation has the potential to drive considerable cost savings. Based on these estimates, manufacturing costs can be recovered as soon as the first year of operation.

Product Offerings

The company has nine patents and a framework of unique intellectual property. Knightscope currently offers a K1 stationary machine, a K3 indoor machine and a K5 outdoor machine. A K7 multi-terrain four-wheel version is in development.

The ASRs autonomously patrol client sites without the need for remote control, providing a visible, force multiplying, physical security presence to help protect assets, monitor changes in the area and deter crime. The data is accessible through the Knightscope Security Operations Center (KSOC), an intuitive, browser-based interface that enables security professionals to review events generated by the ASRs providing effectively ‘mobile smart eyes and ears’. Learn more at www.knightscope.com/ksoc

The ASRs and the related technologies were developed ground up by the company and are Made in the USA.

The Robot Roadshow

Knightscope has created the ultimate hybrid physical and virtual event, bringing its Autonomous Security Robot technologies to cities across the country for interactive and in-person demonstrations.

Each roadshow landing is hosted virtually by a Knightscope expert, and visitors can interact directly with each of the company’s ASRs and see the Knightscope Security Operations Center (KSOC) user interface in action. Learn more at www.knightscope.com/roadshow

Odyssey Group International Inc. (OTC: ODYY)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Odyssey Group International Inc. (OTC: ODYY).

  • Odyssey boasts a diverse development portfolio spanning both pharmaceutical candidates and medical devices
  • The company is evaluating PRV-002 for the treatment of concussion, a dramatically underserved indication that currently has no FDA-approved drug
  • With PRV-001, Odyssey aims to receive Orphan Drug designation, which could potentially accelerate its pathway to FDA approval and provide seven years of market exclusivity
  • CardioMap(R) is intended to provide early, non-invasive testing for heart disease and is being developed for a 510(k) regulatory pathway
  • Save-A-Life is a developmental anti-choking device that Odyssey expects to position as the “accepted” standard and leader in the treatment of choking incidents
  • The company’s sports advisory board is headlined by NFL Hall of Famers Kurt Warner & Brett Favre and two-time Olympic gold medalist Abby Wambach
  • Odyssey is guided by a senior management team with significant experience relating to refining acquired technologies, building commercial systems and forging strategic partnerships

Odyssey Group International (OTC: ODYY) is a medical technology company focused on developing lifesaving medical products that offer technological and clinical advantages over current standards of care.

Odyssey Group International Inc. (OTC: ODYY) is a medical technology company focused on developing lifesaving medical products that offer technological and clinical advantages over current standards of care.

The company’s portfolio of product technologies is diverse, featuring four unique medical products in development. Odyssey’s goal is to deliver superior products with enhanced clinical utility and market potential, thereby yielding a high rate of return for its shareholders and partners. It is guided by a senior management team with significant experience relating to refining technologies, building commercial systems and forging strategic partnerships.

Product Portfolio

Pharmaceuticals

Odyssey has two pharmaceutical products in development:

  • PRV-002 is a novel compound for the treatment of concussion, which currently has no FDA-approved drug. In pre-clinical studies, PRV-002 has been shown to significantly improve both neuroscore and memory score following injury in rats subjected to concussion models. Importantly, the first-in-class novel neurosteroid demonstrated no drug-related toxicity in these trials.
    • PRV-002 is currently being evaluated in a phase I clinical trial for the treatment of concussion, with phase II trials planned for launch in Fall 2022. Odyssey has also highlighted the potential of PRV-002 for additional indications such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS and chromic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).
  • PRV-001 is a novel compound intended to treat Niemann-Pick disease, a rare neurodegenerative-lysosomal storage disorder that affects an estimated 1 in 150,000 individuals in the U.S., demonstrating a 5x higher incidence in Middle Eastern populations.
    • Odyssey expects to receive Orphan Drug designation from the FDA for PRV-001, which would accelerate its pathway to FDA approval and provide seven years of market exclusivity.

Medical Devices

Odyssey is also developing two medical device candidates:

  • CardioMap® is intended to provide early, non-invasive testing for heart disease. The system offers a number of potential advantages over traditional EKGs, including requiring less training to operate, offering heightened sensitivity and coming in a small and portable form factor. CardioMap is being developed for a 510(k) regulatory pathway, which requires a study to demonstrate equivalence to legacy EKG offerings.
    • When approved, CardioMap is expected to be the only device in its class that has a predictive value, illustrating ‘grey’ areas where deterioration has begun but not yet led to pathology. Odyssey expects this feature to provide a powerful incentive for doctors to use the CardioMap device in end markets such as hospitals, doctors’ offices, rehabilitation centers and sports medicine practices.
  • Save-A-Life (SAL) is a patented, single-action, instantaneous, handheld, mechanical anti-choking device that creates a vacuum chamber in the mouth to dislodge throat obstructions in a matter of seconds, all without harm to the victim. The device is currently in development, with a proof of concept established.
    • Odyssey believes that, once FDA-approved, its anti-choking device will quickly become the “accepted” standard and leader in the treatment of choking incidents globally. Its low-cost manufacturing and convenient portable design give SAL a competitive edge over competing devices utilizing cumbersome masks.

Market Opportunities

Odyssey’s varied development pipeline positions it to address a number of sizable market opportunities with significant unmet medical need. Concussions alone currently account for medical costs of roughly $10-15 billion annually in the U.S., despite the lack of a currently approved FDA drug treatment. This need is particularly apparent in the military and sports industry, where the likelihood of athlete head-injury recurrence is estimated at 75%.

It is for this reason that, in March 2021, Odyssey announced the formation of a sports advisory board featuring well-known athletes supporting the company’s efforts to enhance public awareness of traumatic brain injuries and concussions, as well as the need for an FDA-approved therapy. Members of Odyssey’s sports advisory board include NFL Hall of Famers Kurt Warner & Brett Favre and two-time Olympic gold medalist Abby Wambach.

With its CardioMap platform, Odyssey is targeting the global cardiac monitoring market, which was valued at $28 billion in 2021 by Insight Partners and forecast to reach $43 billion by 2028.

Save-A-Life targets a similarly underserved market. Choking is the fourth-leading cause of death in children, and approximately 5,000 choking deaths occur each year in the U.S. While 95% of these deaths result from in-home incidents, current choking rescue devices fail to address in-home applications.

Management Team

Joseph Michael Redmond is the President, CEO and Chairman of Odyssey. He has over 30 years of commercial experience in medical device companies, previously serving as CEO of Parallax Health Sciences Inc., V.P. of Business Development for DxTech Inc. and V.P. of Sales and Marketing for Bioject Medical Technologies Inc. While at Bioject, Mr. Redmond helped raise over $15 million in capital, entered into several licensing and distribution deals with major biotech and pharmaceutical companies and grew the market cap of the company from under $10 million to over $400 million. He started his career at Abbott Labs and holds a B.A. from Denison University.

Christine M. Farrell is the company’s CFO and Secretary. Prior to joining Odyssey, Ms. Farrell was Vice President of Finance for Bioject Medical Technologies Inc. She also held accounting and financial management positions with Spar-Tek Industries, a manufacturer of high quality and cutting-edge technology for the plywood industry, and Action Machinery, a seller of new and used robotic machine tools and equipment. Ms. Farrell holds a B.A. in Accounting from the University of Washington and an M.B.A. from Willamette University.

Dr. Jacob W. Vanlandingham is Odyssey’s Head of Drug Development. Dr. Vanlandingham holds a Ph.D. in neuroscience with a molecular biology focus. He is a member of the Society for Neuroscience, American Society for Nutritional Sciences, National Neurotrauma Society, Faculty for Undergraduate Research in Neuroscience and the International Association of Medical Science Educators.

Odyssey Group International Inc. (OTC: ODYY), closed Tuesday's trading session at $0.238669, off by 4.6468%, on 66,300 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 66,300 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.11/$0.8293.

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Delic Holdings Corp. (CSE: DELC) (OTCQB: DELCF).

Delic Holdings (CSE: DELC) (OTCQB: DELCF) (FRA: 6X0), a leader in new medicines and treatments for a modern world, has reported that, further to its news release dated May 16, 2022, the company has filed its annual financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis, and related certifications for the year ended Dec. 31, 2021, (collectively, the “annual filings”). Delic expects that the management cease trade order (the “MCTO”), which was issued on May 3, 2022, will be revoked in the coming days. While the MCTO remains in effect, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade Delic’s securities. However, for the duration of the MCTO, Delic’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer are precluded from trading in the securities of the company. To view the full press release, visit https://ibn.fm/sKW5h

Delic Holdings Corp. (CSE: DELC) (OTCQB: DELCF) is the leading psychedelic wellness platform, committed to bringing science-backed benefits to all and reframing the psychedelic conversation. The company owns and operates an umbrella of related businesses, including trusted media and e-commerce platforms like Reality Sandwich and Delic Radio; Delic Labs, the only licensed entity by Health Canada to exclusively focus on research and development of psilocybin vaporization technology; Meet Delic, the premiere psychedelic wellness event; and Ketamine Infusion Centers, one of the largest ketamine clinics in the country.

Delic is backed by a team of industry and cannabis veterans and a diverse network, whose mission is to provide education, research, high-quality products, and treatment options to the masses. Its founders helped build the multi-billion-dollar cannabis industry and aim to do the same in psychedelics as it follows a similar path toward legalization. In its quest to advance the new psychedelic renaissance upon us, Delic has become the pioneer in its field, creating an ecosystem of opportunities by investing in cutting-edge ideas.

The Vancouver-based company was formed in 2019 to address the growing interest in psychedelic wellness backed by science. Delic was the ‎first psychedelic umbrella platform. It is currently a trusted source for those interested in ‎psychedelic culture, education, treatments, and more.

While other emerging companies focus on patent medicine and big pharma for substances limited by government regulation, Delic is blazing a unique trail. It identifies ancillary and fully legal opportunities like IP, new media, live events, ketamine clinics (with the ability to offer additional psychedelic treatments once legalized, and large-scale production and brings them under its big tent of resources and reach.

The Big Problems Delic Is Addressing

  • Fifty percent of Americans will meet the criteria for a mental health condition sometime in their lifetime. The FDA has approved psilocybin therapy as a breakthrough therapy for depression.
  • Every 40 seconds, someone in the world commits suicide. Ketamine has been shown to decrease thoughts of suicide significantly. In 2019, the FDA approved esketamine as a fast-acting antidepressant.
  • Traditional palliative care methods do not eradicate end-of-life (EOL) anxiety. LSD and psilocybin have been shown to reduce EOL anxiety for terminally ill patients. Eighty percent of terminally ill patients with psilocybin sessions experienced significant reductions in depression and anxiety.
  • Approximately 50 million people in the U.S. are addicted to some tobacco product. Research shows that psilocybin is helping people quit smoking.

The Delic Ecosystem

The Delic Ecosystem covers three main areas: media, health, and science. The media focus is educating and motivating the masses through a variety of digital platforms, like Delic’s Reality Sandwich digital magazine, a free public education platform providing psychedelic guides, news and ‎culture (1.4+ million page views in 2020 and 54k social media followers across all platforms); Meet Delic, the first-ever psychedelic wellness summit and the premier psychedelic wellness event based in Las Vegas (over 2,000 live attendees and 5,000+ email subscribers); and Delic Radio (over 43 episodes and 100k total streams). Delic has also been featured in numerous media outlets like Forbes, NBC News, The Joe Rogan Experience, Daily Beast, High Times, and The Dr. Drew Podcast.

The focus of Delic’s health operations is the most accessible psychedelic treatments that can help billions of people live happier lives. Delic does this through one of the largest ketamine clinic chains in the country, Ketamine Infusion Centers (KICs), a limited liability corporation formed under the laws of Arizona that runs three ketamine clinics located in Bakersfield, California, and Phoenix, Arizona. Its management team has over 15 years of experience in the clinic and medical space, scaling and operating over 20 clinics, with a plan to open 10 more clinics in the next 18 months. Together, these clinics have overseen 4,000+ treatments delivered to date.

The focus of Delic’s science operations is developing IP and advanced extraction and testing facilities that are the backbone of the legal market. Delic carries this out through Delic Labs, a licensed cannabis and psilocybin research laboratory based in Vancouver. It’s the only entity licensed by Health Canada to exclusively focus on research and development of psilocybin vaporization technology.

Founded by award-winning chemists, Delic Labs focuses on extraction optimization, analytical testing, and chemical process development to advance the cannabis and psilocybin industries. Health Canada gave it a Section 56 Exemption to work with psilocybin compounds, allowing the company to possess and research these products for development and quality control before they hit the market.

Latest Acquisition – Homestead Book Company

On March 4, 2021, Delic announced its acquisition of Seattle-based Homestead Book Company. Homestead is a legacy counterculture distributor of psychedelic media. It’s also the creator of one of the first self-contained psilocybin mushroom grow kits.

The acquisition of Homestead is an exciting one, as it shows how Delic is increasing accessibility to this nascent industry within regulated jurisdictions. Homestead has sold tens of thousands of mushroom kits globally and was one of the earliest distributors for High Times and many other counterculture publications.

The Homestead acquisition allows Delic to increase its product offerings on its website, Reality Sandwich, which recently hit a record for average monthly traffic of over 200,000 unique visitors and over 2.6 million active readers in 2020.

Market Outlook

The psychedelic renaissance is here. Just in time to help address the global mental health crises, plant medicines have the potential to help billions of people live happier lives. Thanks to university-led and FDA-approved studies, North America is leading the way in advancing an industry as psychedelics are becoming accepted globally for therapeutic, medical, and recreational use. Here are some statistics:

  • 32 million people in the U.S. have used psychedelics at least once
  • 17% of all American adults between 21 and 64 have used psychedelics at least once
  • $500 billion is spent in the U.S. every year on prescription drugs
  • $238 billion is spent in the U.S. every year on mental health treatments and ancillary services
  • The anxiety disorder and depression treatment market is estimated at $16 billion
  • $187.8 billion was spent in 2013 on mental health and substance abuse disorders

Management Team

The monthly magazine had a circulation of over 500,000 copies per issue. Its website attracted 500,000 to five million users each month by 2014.

After interacting with the cannabis community for two decades, he helped found Delic in 2019 as one of the first psychedelic corporations. He shapes the company’s vision and path using his expertise in branding, marketing, business development, and product viability.

Delic’s VP of Business Development, John Coleman, Ph.D., is a former president of Anandia Labs, a biotech company focused on genetics and analytics. Having experience in both science and business, Dr. Coleman is well-equipped to lead Delic’s business development efforts as it strives to enter new vertical markets.

Zak Garcia is the company’s Chief Marketing Officer. He was the former CMO of Bulletproof Inc., maker of the well-known Bulletproof Coffee brand. Mr. Garcia is a marketing and leadership strategist who helped grow Bulletproof Coffee to over $250 million in revenue.
