Kaival Brands Innovations Group Inc. (KAVL) is focused on growing and incubating innovative and profitable products into mature, dominant brands. It aims to develop internally, acquire or exclusively distribute these products, helping them grow into market-share leaders by providing superior quality that is recognizable in their individual industries.

Formerly known as Quick Start Holdings Inc., the company changed its name to Kaival Brands Innovations Group Inc. (also known as Kaival Brands) in July 2019. Headquartered in Grant, Florida, the company commenced business operations on March 9, 2020.

Bidi™ Stick – Revolutionizing the Vaping Experience

On March 9, 2020, Kaival Brands entered into a partnership with Bidi Vapor LLC. The latter granted Kaival Brands exclusive global distribution rights for the innovative Bidi™ Stick.

Bidi™ Stick is a completely self-contained disposable product that is tamper-proof and recyclable. The innovative product is made from high-quality components and equipped with a long-lasting battery and class A nicotine. Its product engineering also includes a sensitivity control system, along with a proven mechanism designed to help identify and eliminate counterfeit products.

Available in 11 flavors, the Bidi™ Stick offers a premium vaping experience for adult consumers only. From its packaging design to its marketing strategies, Bidi Vapor makes sure that everything is compliant with government regulations.

On March 31, 2020, Kaival Brands partnered with QuikfillRx Digital as a digital service provider to help promote and commercialize the Bidi™ Stick. As a direct result of the partnership, Kaival Brands received back-to-back orders for the vaping device, totaling approximately $135,000, from sizable national convenience chains.

On September 8, 2020, the company announced that Bidi Vapor had submitted its Premarket Tobacco Product application (PMTA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for review. In total, over 285,000 pages of research, studies and surveys were submitted to support the application of Bidi™ Stick’s 11 variants.

“We are confident that, upon review, the FDA will authorize Bidi Vapor’s Bidi™ Stick for continued marketing in the United States,” Niraj Patel, President and CEO of Kaival Brands, stated in a news release (http://nnw.fm/unAyG).

Bidi Vapor is an industry leader in recycling – a position that was furthered through the creation of the Bidi Cares Initiative. The program encourages users to recycle their used Bidi™ Sticks instead of trashing them. As motivation, Bidi Vapor offers a free Bidi™ Stick for every 10 used devices recycled by a consumer. Kaival Brands is the exclusive recycling provider for the initiative.

Partnership Impact and Market Outlook

Bidi Vapor is a related party to Kaival Brands, as it is owned by Kaival Brands CEO Nirajkumar Patel. Patel is also the majority stockholder of Kaival Brands, placing both entities under common control.

The partnership has already had a positive impact on Kaival Brands, helping the company expedite growth, as evidenced by its Q2 financial results. According to Kaival Brands’ consolidated fiscal results for the quarter that ended on April 30, 2020, its revenues grew to approximately $22.5 million from no revenue in the same quarter of 2019. The company also scored a gross profit of $4.2 million for the three-month period. Net income was reported at $2.8 million for the quarter, compared to a net loss of about $4,000 in the second quarter of 2019. The company ended the second quarter of 2020 with a cash balance of $2 million (http://nnw.fm/44sq4).

The positive results are primarily an effect of Bidi™ Stick distribution amid the growing worldwide demand for high-quality vape products, as Patel explained in a news release. “Our focus now is to continue to increase revenues by increasing Bidi Vapor’s market share in the vaping industry,” he added.

Internationally, Kaival Brands has already taken steps to expand distribution of the Bidi™ Stick into Guam, Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.

To this end, the company has set up a market engagement and sales force to reach a higher volume of retail and wholesale customers. It also created a dedicated customer support team to provide high-quality service and an enhanced customer experience.

Kaival Brands is dedicated to developing innovative and viable options for adults who use tobacco and vape products and want a premium experience. The company wants to set higher standards to transform perceptions and elevate consumer experience in the vape and CBD industries, with a goal of increasing market share in the ever-growing vaping industry. In 2019, the reported global market for the vaping industry alone was $12.4 billion. These forecasts indicate a potential CAGR of 23.8% through 2027.

Cancellation of 300 Million Shares of Common Stock

In August 2020, the company canceled 300 million shares of common stock, marking a 52.1 percent reduction in its issued and outstanding shares of common stock (http://nnw.fm/W7s9T). Currently, the company’s outstanding common shares total 277,282,630. The cancelation was done in exchange for three million shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock cannot be converted before November 2023, barring any event that may trigger early conversion.

According to Patel, this move will benefit all shareholders and help maintain stability of the market pricing of remaining common stock. The overall goal is to increase value for long-term investors.

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) (CSE: LXX)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) (CSE: LXX).

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug-delivery platforms, has announced that its human clinical study HYPER-H21-2, which features LEXX’s patented DehydraTECH(TM)-processed cannabidiol (“CBD”), demonstrates up to a 23% decrease in blood pressure when compared to placebo. According to the announcement, partial results are being released today with additional blood pressure subset analyses, sleep quality and all other data analyses will be reported when complete. Partial results indicate that at selected times during the 24-hour study, volunteers with mild to moderate hypertension averaged as much as a 20 mmHg (i.e., 23%) decrease in BP relative to placebo, with volunteers averaging a notable reduction of 7.0% (p<0.001) in systolic pressure. To view the full press release, visit https://ibn.fm/nYtb4

Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) (CSE: LXX) is a global innovator in drug delivery platforms. The company’s patented technology, DehydraTECH™, improves the way active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) enter the bloodstream by promoting healthier oral ingestion methods and increasing the effectiveness of fat-soluble active molecules. DehydraTECH promotes fast-acting, less expensive and more effective oral drug delivery and has been thoroughly evaluated through in vivo, in vitro and human clinical testing.

DehydraTECH is covered by 19 issued and more than 50 pending patents in over 40 countries around the world. Lexaria’s first patent was issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in October 2016 (US 9,474,725 B1), providing 20 years of patent protection expiring June 2034. Multiple patents have been awarded since then and are expected in the future.

Lexaria has a collaborative research agreement with the National Research Council (NRC), the Canadian government’s premier research and technology organization. The company has filed for patent protection for specific delivery of nicotine, vitamins, NSAIDs, testosterone, estrogen, cannabinoids, terpenes, PDE5 inhibitors (with brand names like Viagra), tobacco and more.

Lexaria began developing DehydraTECH in 2014 and has since continued to strengthen and broaden the technology. The company has no plans to create or sell Lexaria-branded products containing controlled substances. Instead, Lexaria licenses its technology to other companies around the world to offer consumers the best possible performance across an array of ingestible product formats.

The company’s technology is best thought of as an additional layer that providers of consumer supplements, prescription and non-prescription drugs, nicotine and CBD products can utilize to improve the effectiveness of their own existing or planned new offerings. Lexaria has licensed DehydraTECH to multiple companies, including a world-leading tobacco producer for the research and development of smokeless, oral-based nicotine products, and for use in industries that produce cannabinoid beverages, edibles and oral products.

DehydraTECH is suitable for use with a wide range of product formats including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, consumer packaged goods and over-the-counter capsules, pills, tablets and oral suspensions.

DehydraTECH Technology

Lexaria’s DehydraTECH is designed specifically for formulating and delivering lipophilic (fat-soluble) drugs and active ingredients. DehydraTECH increases their effectiveness and improves the way active pharmaceutical ingredients enter the bloodstream. The major benefits to a subject ingesting a DehydraTECH-enabled drug or consumer product can be summarized by the following:

• Speeds up delivery – the effects of the product are felt by the subject in just minutes.
• Increases bioavailability – the technology is much more effective at delivering a drug or product into the bloodstream.
• Increases brain absorption – animal testing suggests significant improvement in the quantity of drug delivered across the blood-brain barrier.
• Improves drug potency – more of the ingested product is made available to the body, so lower doses are required to achieve the desired effect.
• Reduces drug administration cost – lower doses mean lower overall drug costs.
• Masks unwanted taste – the technology eliminates or reduces the need for sweeteners.

Lexaria has demonstrated in animal studies a propensity for DehydraTECH technology to elevate the quantity of drug delivered across the blood-brain barrier by as much as 1,900 percent, initiating additional new patent applications and opening possibilities for improved drug delivery.

Since 2016, DehydraTECH has repeatedly demonstrated, with cannabinoids and nicotine, the ability to increase bio-absorption by up to five to 10 times, reduce time of onset from one to two hours to just minutes, and mask unwanted tastes. The technology is to be further evaluated for additional orally administered bioactive molecules, including antivirals, cannabinoids, vitamins, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and nicotine.

Market Outlook

Lexaria’s ongoing research and development efforts are mainly focused on development of product candidates across several key segments:

• Oral Cannabinoids – a market estimated to be worth $18.4 billion in 2021 and expected to reach $46.2 billion by 2025.
• Antivirals – an estimated $52.1 billion market in 2021 that’s expected to grow to $66.7 billion by 2025.
• Oral Mucosal Nicotine – smokeless tobacco products, a $13.6 billion market in 2018, is forecast to grow at 7.2 percent annually through 2025.
• Human Hormones – estrogen and testosterone replacement therapies represented a $21.9 billion market in 2019, with a forecast CAGR of 7.7 percent through 2027.
• Ibuprofen and Naproxen – NSAID sales totaled $15.6 billion globally in 2019 and are projected to reach $24.4 billion by 2027.
• Vitamin D3 – the global market size was $1.1 billion in 2021, growing at 7 percent per year and expected to reach $1.7 billion in 2026.

The company develops, distributes and deploys accessible early disease detection devices with an aim of changing the way people approach cancer screening. AnPac Bio-Medical is a highly innovative company and an early thought leader and developer of multi-cancer screening technology, which is gaining significant acceptance.

AnPac Bio-Medical has clinical laboratories in the United States and China, with 142 issued patents as of March 31, 2021.

The company operates two certified clinical laboratories in China and one CLIA registered clinical laboratory in the United States.

Cancer Differentiation Analysis (CDA)

Cancer Differentiation Analysis (CDA) is AnPac Bio-Medical’s approach to detecting cancer and pre-cancerous diseases. CDA uses the natural biophysical properties of blood and cellular proteins to discover cancerous environments before the tumors even form.

Most liquid-based cancer screening and detection technologies focus on biochemical signals, like conventional biomarkers and genomic signals, such as ct-DNAs and CTCs (circulating tumor cells in the blood). These typically only determine whether or not cancer has occurred at a fixed point in time.

CDA technology combines an assessment of existing biomarkers with the biophysical properties and cellular proteins that signal the lead-up to serious health conditions and cancer. It is also used to pinpoint where cancer is most likely located and predict where the risk is highest in the future – all through a standard blood test, at a competitive price point.

AnPac Bio-Medical’s CDA is powered by a database of over 200,000 samples and cases and serves as a new way to approach disease and cancer screening. The device uses an integrated system of sensors to detect several biophysical signals at the cellular, protein and molecular levels. CDA leverages a proprietary algorithm to synthesize the data, effectively generating a personalized risk assessment for evaluated patients.

Through CDA technology, AnPac Bio-Medical aims to address a number of goals, including:

• Innovate – AnPac Bio-Medical is an innovator in the cancer screening industry, with CDA research ongoing since 2008, and commercial operations beginning in 2015. AnPac considers itself a thought leader in developing multi-cancer screening.
• Detect – AnPac Bio-Medical detects early signals of threatening cancer and its location within the body.
• Identify – CDA identifies the risks of up to 26 different types of cancers with high sensitivity and specificity rates.
• Provide – The company’s platform provides multi-level, multi-parameter analysis using proprietary diagnostic algorithms, which results in accurate and easy-to-understand results.
• Proven – A fully operational analysis of over 200,000 test samples has been run to date. CDA technology has been shown to identify pre- and early-stage cancers in patients previously diagnosed as “cancer-free” through traditional methods.
• Biophysical Properties – CDA analyzes biophysical properties in human blood and the correlation between biophysical properties and cancer occurrence.

Market Outlook

AnPac Bio-Medical is exploring detection of other types of cancers leveraging its innovative CDA technology and multi-cancer screening and detection tests, which could open significant opportunities on the global cancer diagnostics market.

According to a report by Grand View Research, the cancer diagnostics market is expected to reach $249.6 billion worldwide by 2026 (https://nnw.fm/L7css). The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% during the forecast period.

Cryptocurrency Mining

The start of 2021 saw a massive resurgence in interest surrounding bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining. In mid-February, bitcoin prices hit an all-time high of greater than $57,000, and heightened demand for cryptocurrency mining power has played a key role in exacerbating a global shortage of semiconductors and computer components.

With a foothold in the cryptocurrency mining space, ISW Holdings has placed significant focus on expanding its position and capitalizing on this momentum. Recent highlights include:

“As we continue to bring our miners online, we want our shareholders to be able to track the expansion and profitability of the company’s mining activity given the sharp rising trend in bitcoin prices,” Alonzo Pierce, President and Chairman of ISW Holdings, stated in a news release. “It currently costs about $11K in computing power to mine a single bitcoin. Bitcoin is pricing at over five times that level, making this is an exceptional ROI opportunity, and our responsibility to our shareholders is clear: continue to invest, expand and execute.”

Business Innovations

ISW Holdings’ diverse portfolio reflects the growing demand for essential services in a dynamic modern operational landscape. Some of the company’s current holdings and partnerships include:

• Volum: The company’s logistics and supply chain management division is designed with the core goal of increasing supply chain efficiency, which is recognized as one of the key aspects of successfully growing any business.

Market Opportunity

ISW Holdings’ recent activity in the cryptocurrency mining sector has positioned it to capitalize on the forecast expansion of the cryptocurrency market in the coming years. According to data from MarketsandMarkets, the cryptocurrency space was valued at $1.03 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach $1.40 billion in 2024, achieving a CAGR of 6.18% during the forecast period.

The report suggests that major drivers for this growth will be the transparency of the underlying blockchain technology, the high volume of remittances in developing countries, the high cost of international remittance, expected fluctuations in monetary regulations and sustained investment in the cryptocurrency space by venture capital firms.

Although targeting individual states in the United States, the company is headquartered in Toronto, Canada. Red White & Bloom was established after privately held MichiCann Medical Inc. merged with publicly traded Tidal Royalty in 2019.

Brands

Red White & Bloom has entered strategic brand acquisitions and partnerships aimed at helping the company expand its presence and position as one of the largest players in the United States cannabis market. Red White & Bloom is always diligently searching for brands to acquire that will provide additional value to the company and expand its national footprint.

The company’s current brand portfolio includes:

• Platinum Premium Cannabis Products (PV): Platinum uses innovative thinking, honesty and responsibility to remain at the forefront of the cannabis industry. PV holds itself and its partners to the highest standards, providing clean and safe CBD and THC products. In the company’s press release dated January 13, 2021, it reported system-wide sales of Platinum-branded products exceeding $2.8 million for the first week of January alone.
• High Times®: In June 2020, the company acquired the licensing rights and branding of High Times dispensaries and High Times cannabis-based CBD and THC products in Michigan, Illinois and Florida. The company also acquired branding of High Times hemp derived CBD products nationally in the United States carrying the Culture® brand.
• Mid-American Growers: Mid-American began as a family operation in 1971 in Granville, Illinois. The original 8-acre greenhouse has expanded to a 3.6-million-square-foot, state-of-the-art technology and science facility under glass. Mid-American’s product offerings include its CBD Icy Relief Salve, CBD Icy Relief Roll-on and CBD Gummies.

Retail Focus

Red White & Bloom is working to establish a significant retail presence across multiple jurisdictions. In Michigan, the company is invested in and has the rights to acquire (subject to regulatory approvals) a licensed operator that controls the assets of 18 dispensary locations throughout the state. Red White & Bloom is also pursuing opportunities in Florida aimed at making its proposed retail footprint compelling and attractive to the majority of cannabis consumers within each state.

Cultivation

Red White & Bloom is focused on standardization and quality, with everything guided by a relentless commitment to the highest standards. The company acquired a 3.6-million-square-foot standardized facility dedicated to helping it achieve premium value for the products it intends to cultivate.

As it continues to expand, the company remains committed to the practices that have guided its success in the past, including:

• A top-down approach to cultivation developed under the guidance of PhDs with expertise in growing principles, SOPs and, most importantly, the science behind it all.
• Commitment to exceeding the requirement of the states in which it operates. The company cut its teeth under the world’s first national cannabis purity regime – a regime that most new markets use as a benchmark – so quality is in its DNA.
• Science-driven production methods supported by automated, perpetual, standardized operations that enable craft cannabis-like quality at an industrial scale.

Footprint

Assuming completion of the currently proposed investments and acquisitions, Red White & Bloom will be among the cannabis market’s largest companies, joining the ranks of a select few multi-state operators dominating the industry. Red White & Bloom currently has assets (closed and in closing stages) in Michigan, Illinois, Florida, California, Oklahoma and Massachusetts.

The company’s strategic acquisition and super state operator model, combined with its commitment to top-quality product and service, position it to become a leading player in the North American cannabis market.

When evaluated beside competitors in the cannabis space, Red White & Bloom boasts an extremely attractive valuation. While large cap cannabis firms serving North American markets averaged enterprise-value-to-EBITDA multiples of 14.9x as of December 2020, Red White & Bloom’s enterprise multiple was just 3.4x, as noted in the company’s latest investor deck.

In 2020, the cannabis market worldwide was valued at $24.6 billion. This amount is expected to expand at a CAGR of 14.3% from 2021 to 2028, resulting in a market size of $84 billion in 2028 (https://nnw.fm/f09ZL). Of the 2020 valuation, the largest revenue share (91.1%) was attributed to North American consumers (https://nnw.fm/vObW6).

PlantX Life Inc. (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (OTCQB: PLTXF) aims to redefine the plant-based community through e-commerce, with a core objective of becoming the most trusted and convenient destination for people living plant-based lives. PlantX is a multifaceted marketplace providing consumers all things plant-based ranging from an efficient e-commerce experience, connecting consumers with interactive PlantX brick-and-mortar stores, and a PlantX home delivery system for products, meals, recipes and more.

PlantX is a high-growth technology company focusing on consumer-packaged goods (“CPG”) for the plant-based opportunity. The PlantX platform aims to serve as the digital face of this community with its one-stop-shop for everything plant-based, including:

In addition, PlantX has collaborated with renowned chefs and nutritionists to create 20 unique and pre-made meals delivered to the comfort of your own home.

Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, PlantX’s mission is to spearhead the plant-based movement, celebrate and promote health and wellbeing, raise plant-based awareness in a hyper-palatable world, connect with global consumers and forge a welcoming plant-based community.

PlantX has continued to catalyze its capital markets dynamics by applying to list its common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”). The company’s common shares are eligible for electronic clearing and settlement through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) in the United States.

Market Outlook

With its comprehensive e-commerce platform, PlantX is strongly positioned for a prominent role in the fast-growing plant-based food market, e-commerce and the online food delivery sectors. The global plant-based food market is expected to reach $74.2 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 11.9%. Similarly, the online food delivery market has steadily grown, especially during the current pandemic. This trend seems here to stay. In the United States alone, the sector is expected to report $28.5 billion by 2024, with companies such as UberEats experiencing 152% increases in food deliveries in the summer of 2020.

Complementary to these trends, and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, online sales and digitization have also both grown exponentially in 2020. Grocery shopping has seen a remarkable transition to e-commerce, with online grocery sales growing by 53% in 2020. Amid the pandemic-imposed physical interactions and related consumer behavior change, large retailers have been compelled to meet this surge in e-commerce demand. For example, Whole Foods Markets has increased its online sales capacity by over 60% in 2020. The global meal kit delivery system is also becoming increasingly popular and is expected to achieve a market value of $19.92 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 12.8%.

PlantX aims to capitalize on this anticipated exponential market growth of the plant-based, e-commerce and home-delivery industries.

Digital Platform for the Plant-Based Community

The digital interface provided by PlantX spans a health and wellness initiative that offers thousands of plant-based products, meal delivery, indoor plants, recipes and a community space for those who are like-minded about plant-based products and healthy lifestyles. PlantX has been compared to Amazon, except with a focused tailored selection of plant-based offerings.

PlantX provides everything a consumer needs for plant-based living at the click of a button. With PlantX, customers can:

• Shop
• Find recipes
• Read blogs
• Join a community forum
• Listen to podcasts
• View cosmetics
• Research vitamins
• Purchase plant-based pet foods
• Read corporate updates
• Subscribe to an insightful newsletter

The company’s website was designed with a user-friendly interface that allows customers to visit the site and easily find what they need. Forums for communicating with a plant-based community make it easier to swap recipes or locate the best restaurants serving vegan and vegetarian-friendly cuisine.

PlantX Flagship Locations – British Columbia (Canada), San Diego (California), & the State of Israel

PlantX will link the e-commerce platform to flagship brick-and-mortar stores for a highly sensory customer experience. This is anticipated to drive corporate growth and global brand recognition.

These PlantX branded flagship locations will first launch in:

• Squamish, British Columbia, Canada
• San Diego, California, United States
• Tel Aviv, State of Israel

Customer engagement, education and creating a global plant-based community will be furthered through this initiative.

PlantX Restaurant Partnerships

PlantX proactively aims to support this change and help restaurants meet the needs of the plant-based community. Restaurants that want to increase revenue, drive traffic and make an impact can therefore partner with PlantX to better serve their customers by expanding and refining their menus.

Future Goals for PlantX Life

InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc. (OTC: INND)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc. (INND).

InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc. (OTC: INND) interview with Matthew Moore, CEO by FMW Media’s New to The Street TV was announced among the broadcasting of its national syndicated shows, Monday night, September 06, 2021 at 10:30 PM PT and Tuesday night, September 07, 2021 at 10:30 PM PT on Fox Business Network .

InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc. (OTC: INND) is a Nevada corporation incorporated on June 15, 2012, with its principal place of business in Roseville, California. The company was initially started in 2006 – operating as InnerScope Advertising Agency Inc. – to provide advertising and marketing services to retail establishments in the hearing device industry. On August 25, 2017, the company changed its name to InnerScope Hearing Technologies Inc. to better reflect its current direction as a hearing health technology company that manufactures, develops, distributes and sells numerous innovative hearing health-related products, hearing treatments and hearing solutions, direct-to-consumer (DTC) through a scalable business model.

The company is a manufacturer and a distributor/retailer of DTC, FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) registered, Bluetooth app-controlled hearing aids and personal sound amplifier products (PSAPs), hearing-related treatment therapies, doctor-formulated dietary hearing supplements, proprietary CDB oil for treating tinnitus and assorted hearing and health-related products targeting approximately 70 million Americans suffering from hearing-related problems. The company’s mission is to improve the quality of life of the 70 million people in North America and the 1.5 billion people worldwide who suffer from hearing impairment and/or hearing-related issues.

The management team of InnerScope is applying decades of industry experience and believes it is well-positioned, with its innovative in-store point-of-sale Free Self-Check Hearing Screening Kiosks (“Hearing Kiosks”), to directly benefit when the Over the Counter (OTC) Hearing Aid Act (the “OTC Hearing Aid Law”) is enacted (expected in late 2021 based on the President’s Executive Order issued on July 9, 2021) The OTC Hearing Aid Law allows OTC hearing aids for perceived mild-to-moderate hearing losses to be sold in retail stores without having to see a professional. InnerScope’s Hearing Kiosk is designed to help the tens of millions of Americans with undetected/untreated mild-to-moderate hearing loss treat themselves with the company’s easy, convenient and affordable OTC hearing aids, in-store and/or online.

Industry Game-Changer – New Emerging Market with 48 Million Potential Customers

The following is sourced from The White House Fact Sheet detailing an Executive Order from President Biden aimed at saving Americans with hearing loss thousands of dollars by allowing hearing aids to be sold over the counter at drug stores:

“Hearing Aids: Hearing aids are so expensive that only 14% of the approximately 48 million Americans with hearing loss use them. On average, they cost more than $5,000 per pair, and those costs are often not covered by health insurance. A major driver of the expense is that consumers must get them from a doctor or a specialist, even though experts agree that medical evaluation is not necessary. Rather, this requirement serves only as red tape and a barrier to more companies selling hearing aids. The four largest hearing aid manufacturers now control 84% of the market.”

On July 9, 2021, President Biden noted the following in reference to his Executive Order relating to hearing aids:

“Right now, if you need a hearing aid, you can’t just walk into a pharmacy and pick one up over the counter. You have to get it from a doctor or a specialist. Not only does that make getting hearing aids inconvenient, it makes them considerably more expensive, and it makes it harder for new companies to compete, innovate and sell hearing aids at lower prices.”

“As a result, a pair of hearing aids can cost thousands of dollars. That’s a big reason why just one in seven Americans with hearing loss actually use a hearing aid.”

InnerScope Game-Changers

For InnerScope, this Executive Order could present a significant opportunity. The company is uniquely positioned with a number of strategic advantages and offerings in the space, including:

• First to Market: Free self-check hearing screening kiosks deployed in national pharmacy chains, big-box retailers & national and local groceries chains
• Online Hearing Screening Tests: For national retailers to use their websites to attract more customers in conjunction with the company’s in-store hearing kiosks
• The HearIQ App for iOS and Android users: Offers a free self-check hearing test and provides a user control function for InnerScope’s Bluetooth app-controlled self-adjusting rechargeable hearing devices
• Customer Monthly Subscription Model: Offering the lowest, most affordable monthly payment options (as low as $42 per month for pair of rechargeable, app-controlled hearing aids) for consumers to purchase hearing aids and receive free upgrades every two years.

The In-Store Hearing Screening Kiosks and Online Free Hearing Screening Tests

Innerscope’s hearing screening kiosk and online hearing screening tests offer free self-check hearing evaluation using the world’s first “Hearing Triage” artificial intelligent pattern recognition software, which has a unique ability to classify both level (degree of loss) and pattern (type of loss). In addition, the software can detect the probable location of the hearing problem and its degree of severity.

The tests are developed as a hearing wellness tool to help track hearing ability and (if tests results indicate a hearing loss) make recommendations for in-store point of sale or online purchase of one of InnerScope’s hearing devices, as well as providing recommendations to see one of the professionals in InnerScope’s local contracted network of hearing health care experts for further follow-up testing if necessary. The software also generates an audiometric report which is instantly emailed to the customer.

The HearIQ App

InnerScope is the creator of the HearIQ App, which offers free self-check hearing tests and provides a user control function for InnerScope’s line of Bluetooth app-controlled self-adjusting rechargeable hearing devices. InnerScope developed the free hearing test part of the HearIQ App to help with the early detection of hearing loss for the 1.5 billion people worldwide who have untreated hearing loss or some form of hearing issues that may be undetected and do not have access to a computer for InnerScope’s online hearing screening test.

Hearing Aid Products

Through its dedicated online store, MyHearIQ.com, InnerScope offers affordable, direct-to-consumer, Bluetooth app-controlled, self-adjusting hearing technology to empower consumers to take control of their hearing care. InnerScope’s hearing technology allows the customer in less than 10 minutes using any smartphone to personalize each hearing device to their hearing needs using an onboard in-ear custom-fit self-testing feature through the HearIQ App.

InnerScope is shifting hearing health care from traditional brick-and-mortar hearing care clinics to customers’ homes by providing a unique solution to give customers top quality, affordable access to hearing aids without the need to see a hearing professional or go to a hearing care clinic. As a result, InnerScope can deliver the same level and quality of hearing technology and expert support for the customer from their homes at a fraction of the cost of traditional channels. All InnerScope hearing aid devices are medical-grade and available with professional remote programming and support services from one of the company’s licensed hearing professionals through the HearIQ App.

Hearing & Tinnitus Dietary Supplements

InnerScope has developed a proprietary line of doctor-designed hearing & tinnitus dietary supplements to help people with hearing problems protect themselves from future hearing issues. There are currently three types of formulas to choose from, including Ear-Ring Relief for the 60 million Americans who suffer from tinnitus, HearingVite + Memory Boost for people with hearing loss and cognitive issues, and HearingVite + Multivitamin for maintaining proper hearing health and levels of nutrients.

Complete Line of Hearing Health Care Products

InnerScope offers a brand label of assorted ear care and hearing aid maintenance products. In support of overall ear health and ensuring maximum performance from its hearing aids and comfort for its customers, InnerScope provides a whole line of care items, including cleaning kits, wipes, spray and drying tablets, ear cleaner for wax removal, a natural lubricant agent for new hearing aids and hydrating lubricating ear gel.

Verified Wholesale and Direct-to-Consumer Sales

InnerScope is a verified wholesaler with Walmart for premium affordable direct-to-consumer hearing aids, personal sound amplification and hearing health accessories. InnerScope also created an easy shopping experience for its hearing and tinnitus vitamins through Walmart and Amazon Prime. With new partnerships in the works, the company aims to add other online and brick-and-mortar establishments to its vitamin distribution network in the future.

Hearing Aid Market Outlook

The global hearing aid market is expected to reach $11.02 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 7.4% during the forecast period. This marks a significant increase from the $6.47 billion value reported in 2020, an increase largely driven by innovations being made in hearing aid technology (https://ibn.fm/bRWUb).

As a leading wholesale provider and direct-to-consumer business, InnerScope is positioned to disrupt the global hearing aid market. Its partnerships with some of the United States’ largest retail distributors and wholesalers are only strengthening the company’s position within the industry.

Perpetual Industries Inc. (OTC: PRPI)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Perpetual Industries Inc. (PRPI).

As China is cracking down on cryptocurrency mining over concerns about environmental impact, savvy U.S. companies, including Perpetual Industries (OTC: PRPI), are looking to benefit. A recent Forbes publication highlights this opportunity, reporting that mining is about to get both easier and more profitable for North American crypto miners (https://ccw.fm/26AW1). Amid this backdrop, Perpetual Industries has been working to build an efficient, powerful network of cryptocurrency mining operations that offer environmentally friendly solutions for the sustainability of the blockchain industry (https://ccw.fm/mPiIV). “Our goal is to advance and integrate green energy power sources such as solar, wind and hydro in order to lessen the environmental impact of decentralized blockchain systems,” a recent article states, noting the company’s positioning and its research and development efforts for the creation of a proprietary system. “We are researching a new, revolutionary design for a crypto-mining farm system that optimizes the collection of green energy to produce a powerful, self-sustaining mining farm called the Green Energy Mining (‘GEM’) System.” To view the full article, visit https://ccw.fm/GyNjG

Perpetual Industries Inc. (OTC: PRPI) is an incubator for the development of innovative, energy-efficient technologies aimed at commercializing products that have the potential to impact and advance a wide range of industries on a global scale.

The company’s team of experts and trusted industry partners have the resources to provide essential components needed to take projects from their initial stages through to the end products. Perpetual Industries values strict controls and high levels of quality through all stages of research, development, manufacturing and commercialization.

Perpetual Industries was founded by President, Chairman and CEO Brent W. Bedford in 2005. It is located in Auburn, Indiana.

R&D Portfolio Overview

Perpetual Industries is expanding expertise and knowledge of energy-efficient technology by developing low-cost, green energy solutions for various industries, including artificial intelligence, blockchain mining, graphic rendering, renewable energy, cloud computing and internet of things (IoT), all while continuing research, development and commercialization of its proprietary XYO Balancing Technology in key applications.

XYO Balancing Technology

• XYO Balancing Technology is optimized specifically to eliminate vibration in rotating equipment and enable environmentally responsible products to operate more efficiently.
• Leveraging a proprietary design, XYO Balancing Technology is the result of over 25 years of research and development effort.

WindSilo – Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

Implementing its proprietary XYO Balancing Technology, Perpetual Industries’ WindSilo turbine improves balancing issues that are common in most wind turbines today. The company’s design is engineered to allow for much faster spin speeds and greater energy output.

The company believes that this innovative turbine design could eliminate the expensive traditional methods of balancing wind turbines while increasing their performance, reliability and efficiency.

In November 2020, Perpetual Industries announced that Trine University, a private post-secondary institution located in Angola, Indiana, had been awarded a grant to assist the company in the development of the WindSilo.

The XYO Washing Machine

Perpetual Industries is currently developing a proprietary domestic washing machine design implementing XYO Mechanical Balancers to dynamically compensate for variable mass imbalance during the spin cycle. The company expects these efforts to produce a number of benefits, including higher spin speeds, reduced energy consumption, decreased noise emissions and less mechanical wear & tear.

First Energy Metals Ltd. (CSE: FE) (OTCQB: FEMFF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight First Energy Metals Ltd. (CSE: FE) (OTCQB: FEMFF).

Last week, the price of aluminum hit a new three-year high as concerns about supplies from China, which is the world’s top producer of the metal, increased after the Xinjiang region in the country began imposing output curbs on smelters. For example, last Friday, benchmark aluminum on the London Metal Exchange had increased by 1.5%, hitting almost $2,670 by noon. Earlier in the session, prices had gone up to $2664.50, which is the metal’s highest price since April 2018. On the Shanghai Futures Exchange, the price of aluminum set a new record, with the last time prices had gone that high being August 2008. An aluminum trader is quoted, noting that the significant increase in price was caused by output limits in China, which were mainly imposed in an attempt to cut down on emissions. The direction of the price of aluminum is likely to favor industrial and base metals extractors such as First Energy Metals Ltd. (CSE: FE) (OTCQB: FEMFF) because high prices often translate to a better return for company investors.

First Energy Metals Ltd. (CSE: FE) (OTCQB: FEMFF) is a publicly traded Canadian mineral exploration company. Its primary focus is on developing a multi-commodity mineral property portfolio by identifying, acquiring and exploring North American mineral prospects in the precious metal, base metal and industrial metals sectors.

FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTC: NHHHF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight FuelPositive Corp. (NHHHF).

• FuelPositive’s patent-pending first-of-its-kind system features an entirely non-polluting process of ammonia (“NH3”) production, using 30% less energy than traditional methods
• Carbon-free NH3 contains 65% more hydrogen than highly compressed hydrogen and addresses challenges associated with storing and distributing hydrogen
• Through its proprietary system, which stores hydrogen in carbon-free ammonia, the company is making possible the green hydrogen economy, with hydrogen able to be efficiently used for energy storage, long-distance transportation of energy, as fuel for internal combustion engine vehicles, and for other applications

We’ve all heard about the hydrogen economy. So why isn’t it happening?
In 2019, the transportation sector generated 29% of the total greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, the highest of the main economic sectors (https://ibn.fm/Jy6VS). According to 2020 statistics from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), gasoline accounted for 56% of the country’s transportation energy use, while diesel was responsible for 24%. In total, petroleum products accounted for a whopping 90% of the energy use (https://ibn.fm/7h2gQ), demonstrating the heavy reliance on these fossil fuels despite the growing availability of electric vehicles and all the talk about the hydrogen economy. The hydrogen economy envisions a future where carbon-free hydrogen is used for energy storage, long-distance transportation of energy, and as fuel for vehicles and heat generation. With the heightened consciousness around emissions spearheaded by governments setting net-zero greenhouse emission targets, carbon-free “green” hydrogen is emerging as a key piece of the zero-emissions puzzle. As a fuel, hydrogen has no rival — it burns cleanly and produces more power per unit of weight than gasoline or diesel or even lithium-ion batteries. But moving to the hydrogen economy is not as simple as it sounds. There are practical problems that have so far prevented its implementation. FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF), a company committed to clean energy solutions, is making the green hydrogen economy possible through its proprietary carbon-free ammonia (“NH3”) system.

FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTC: NHHHF) is a growth stage company focused on licensing, partnership and acquisition opportunities building upon various technological achievements. The company is committed to providing commercially viable and sustainable clean energy solutions, including carbon-free ammonia (NH3), for use across a broad spectrum of industries and applications.

FuelPositive is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.

Hydrogen Economy Problems and FuelPositive’s Carbon-Free Technology

The hydrogen economy is currently facing many challenges. Traditional NH3 manufacturing exists on a massive scale, but centralized facilities result in some of the world’s most concentrated CO2 emissions. In total, an estimated 200 million metric tonnes of NH3 are consumed each year, with greater than 80% utilized by the agricultural sector. NH3 is also being positioned as a viable alternative to fossil fuels.

FuelPositive’s flagship carbon-free ammonia technology provides an innovative solution to these environmental concerns. Developed by Dr. Ibrahim Dincer and his team, the company’s platform allows for the in-situ production of NH3 in an entirely sustainable manner, using only water, air and sustainable electricity.

The production of hydrogen is energy intensive, but it is just one variable hindering the growth of the hydrogen economy. Other hurdles include:

• Storage – The storage of hydrogen by compression or liquification are both cost prohibitive and unsustainable.
• Distribution – The distribution network for effective hydrogen deployment has yet to be developed, as the extreme high-pressure distribution requirements to transport hydrogen would result in enormous infrastructure costs.
• End Use – R&D on the transportation-related end use applications for hydrogen is in its infancy, but almost any vehicle on the road today can be easily converted to run on NH3 at a considerably lower cost per mile traveled when compared to traditional fossil fuels.

A key benefit of FuelPositive’s patent-pending, first-of-its-kind carbon-free NH3 technology is its flexibility. The process allows for small, medium or large-scale production of NH3 on location, minimizing or even eliminating the challenges and volatility associated with storage and transportation to end use. As such, with an appropriately sized FuelPositive system and access to renewable energy, the end use applications for the company’s platform are nearly infinite.

Manufacturing Partnership

On May 19, 2021, FuelPositive announced its selection of National Compressed Air Canada Ltd. (“NCA”) to undertake manufacturing of the company’s Phase 2 hydrogen-ammonia synthesizer commercial prototype systems for carbon-free ammonia production.

In a news release detailing the partnership, FuelPositive CEO Ian Clifford noted, “This critical milestone for FuelPositive will confirm the broad application potential for our technology and is the backbone of our Carbon-Free Hydrogen-NH3 offering. Partnering with the knowledgeable and experienced team at NCA on this commercialization project will bring our development-stage program to life.”

Global Ammonia Market Outlook

The global ammonia market was valued at $52.71 billion in 2017 and is forecast to reach $81.42 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 5.59%, according to data from Fior Markets (https://ibn.fm/1OfOB).

The agricultural industry consumes more than 80% of global NH3. Smaller percentages can be attributed to the waste, water treatment, refrigerants, antiseptic, textile, mining and pharmaceutical industries.

One of the most polluting industries on the planet consists of conventional agribusinesses. These polluters are responsible for more greenhouse emissions per year than transportation. This is where FuelPositive’s technology is expected to be extremely beneficial.

reAlpha

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight reAlpha

reAlpha, a cutting-edge technology company launching an innovative platform empowering everyone to invest in the $1.2 trillion short-term rental market, has announced its new partnership with Carthagos, a global design and product studio specializing in the strategic development of brands and digital products. According to the update, reAlpha has taken 25% equity in Carthagos, and reAlpha’s Chief Marketing Officer, Christie Currie, will join Carthagos’ board of directors. This partnership is in addition to the investment in Naamche that reAlpha announced recently.

reAlpha is the Robinhood of Airbnb investments, representing the intersection of modern technology and lasting assets. A new wave of investment opportunities in real estate has emerged, and Airbnb short-term rentals are changing hospitality and travel on a global scale. Previously, only accredited investors have had access to the best real estate deals, but reAlpha is democratizing this lucrative new model, empowering anyone to generate wealth as a reAlpha member. reAlpha uses its proprietary, disruptive technologies to level the playing field, unraveling the industry’s high barriers to entry and bringing the power of real estate investing to the “99 percent.”

The company’s unique model allows investors to benefit from both the superior returns of short-term rental income and increases in property value through renovation and appreciating markets. reAlpha likens this double investment return to seeing two desserts on a dinner menu and ordering both.

The company seeks to open up access to real estate investing by letting regular people buy fractional ownership of short-term rentals using reAlpha’s smartphone app. The reAlpha app simplifies the real estate investing process. In the app, investors can check out the company’s most current properties offered for investment. If they choose to invest, they become members of a syndicate invested in a specific short-term rental property. Syndicate members receive quarterly dividend payments from rental revenue generated by the property in which they invested. The reAlpha model merges the most historically stable asset – real estate – with technology and the sharing-economy business model of the future – Airbnb.

The company handles all property management functions and believes short-term rentals are no longer purely transactional and occupancy-driven. reAlpha reimagines the entire guest experience end-to-end to make sure the reAlphaHouse is the ultimate on-demand rental property. The company plans to implement various technologies, including smart locks, voice-activated electronics, home automation systems, and innovative furnishings, to create an unparalleled guest experience. When guests have exceptional stays, investors enjoy maximized profits.

How it Works

reAlpha has identified specific markets in which to purchase short-term rentals across the globe. The company prefers to buy 100 to 500 properties in each market. reAlpha uses artificial intelligence technology, dubbed reAlphaBRAIN, to select “unicorn properties,” the best available opportunities in the market for investment. The AI software can quickly evaluate thousands of property listings based on 25+ factors and assign each a reAlphaScore, projecting how Airbnb Viable the property is, as well as its projected value in the housing market.

For a minimum investment of $2,500, an investor can purchase equity in a specific reAlpha property, similar to how they would buy stock or shares in a company. reAlpha matches the investor with other like-minded backers to form a syndicate, so together they can cover a down payment on the selected property. Investment properties usually require a down payment of 25 percent of the purchase price, but, with reAlpha properties, the down payment is only 10 percent because of the company’s relationships with lenders, making the initial investment more affordable.

reAlpha maintains a majority stake in each investment syndicate, retaining 51 percent ownership in each purchased property and ensuring their interests are always aligned with investing members. Properties are typically refinanced after 12 to 16 months, freeing equity for reinvestment in additional properties. The company uses its AI software to predict optimum timing to sell properties in order to extract maximum value for investors. Gains are reinvested in additional properties. However, reAlpha also believes that real estate investing is more than financial returns. It includes the pride of ownership and the freedom of financial security. reAlpha members have access to their property when it is not rented out on Airbnb. The company is driven every day to create not only lucrative returns for its members but also to deliver exceptional experiences and positive impact in the communities in which reAlpha lives and operates.

Market Outlook

There are an estimated 7.4 million short-term rental properties worldwide. The total asset value of this global market is projected at $1.2 trillion. In the U.S. there are about 1.8 million short-term rental properties. These have an estimated asset value of $933 billion. Brain Chesky, the CEO of Airbnb, recently stated that there is a shortage of properties to meet demand and that the company will need “millions of more hosts.” reAlpha is projecting that the company and its investors will own 5,000 short-term rental investment properties by 2025. reAlpha forecasts annual revenue of $434 million by 2025.

Management Team

Giri Devanur is the CEO and co-founder of reAlpha. Prior to founding reAlpha, he served as president and CEO of enterprise software company Ameri100 Inc. from its founding in 2013.
