With EPA Deadline Ahead, Midwest Energy Emissions Corp. (MEEC) Receives Multi-Year Commitments from Major U.S. Power Producer

Midwest Energy Emissions (ME2C), a developer of proprietary, cost-effective mercury capture technologies to power plants and other large industrial coal-burning units in the United States and Canada, reports that it has received firm commitments from a major U.S. power producer for multi-year, mercury pollution control for Mercury and Air Toxic Standards (MATS) compliance.

The commitments are for a fleet of nine generating units capable of achieving mercury removal levels compliant with MATS at a significantly lower cost and with less operational impact than currently used methods. ME2C estimates that revenues for this relationship will grow to roughly $30 million per year by 2016 with initial revenues beginning in 2014.

“This is a significant milestone achievement for our team and shareholders, with anticipated annual revenues of over $30 million per year when the full fleet of this single power provider is under MATS compliance. We further believe that this is just the beginning of the adoption of our technology by others and expect to be making additional commercial announcements soon,” CEO Alan Kelley stated in the news release.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) MATS rule requires that all coal-fired and oil-fired power plants in the U.S., larger than 25 mega-watts, must remove roughly 90 percent of mercury from their emissions beginning April 16, 2015, though some plants have been given extensions into 2016.

ME2C is quickly growing its reputation as a leading solution for power plants to achieve compliance, benefitting from decades of thorough research and testing.

“This very significant win for our company is the direct result of over 20 years of dedicated research and technology development in advanced mercury control solutions. We believe that our proprietary technology is truly the best in class, and this business commitment serves as validation of our belief,” Kelley said.

American Heritage International Inc. (AHII) to Sponsor Bauman Racing in General Tire Mint 400 Race

American Heritage International announced today that it will sponsor Bauman Racing in the biggest off-road race in the United States: the upcoming General Tire Mint 400. The sponsorship kicks off the company’s ‘Spirit of America’ marketing campaign.

The General Tire Mint 400 will return to Las Vegas, Nevada, from Wednesday, March 12th through Sunday, March 16th. The Mint 400 will feature three days of pre-race festivities in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, followed by the most challenging and thrilling off-road race of the year.

“Last year the event was broadcast on the SPEED Channel (Now Fox Sports 1) to 78 million homes and re-aired an average of eight times throughout the year, making it the most watched desert off-road racing program in North America,” said Anthony Sarvucci, American Heritage’s CEO. “We are expecting similar exposure for our American Heritage brand in this year’s race.”

Medizone International, Inc. (MZEI) Receives Patent Protection for Anthrax Elimination

Medizone International announced it has been granted its fourth patent for AsepticSure, its pioneering enclosed space room disinfection system. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. Patent number 8,636,951, “Bio-Terrorism Counteraction Using Ozone and Hydrogen Peroxide,” to the company.

This latest patent follows on the heels of patent protection for Medizone’s healthcare-related patent applications. The company has now been awarded a patent for its government variant of AsepticSure, which is intended to be used by defense agencies as a response to biological attacks on critical buildings, infrastructure, and resources.

Medizone International has successfully eliminated bacillus atropheus and bacillus subtilis at its Innovation Park, Queens University laboratories. Both of these bacteria are globally recognized study surrogates for anthrax, which is one of the most difficult weaponized pathogens to kill. The ability to eliminate these anthrax surrogates with the AsepticSure technology approaches assurance that Medizone International now has the ability to restore critical public infrastructure to service after a biological attack without damaging crucial and costly equipment, such as communication systems. This problem has plagued militaries for decades without, until now, a solution.

“To now have patent protection granted for this system,” said Medizone CEO Edwin Marshall, “should allow the company protected access to a potentially lucrative government market due to the unique capability of AsepticSure’s government variant.”

GlobalWise Investments, Inc. (GWIV) Turns Data Overload into Dollars

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is a complex name for a simple problem. The digital age has created an explosion of information and data. Trying to effectively manage that information and data has proven to be a real problem for business. Currently, up to 85% of a company’s data is unusable; scattered throughout different areas of an organization.

ECM is a burgeoning industry that allows businesses to manage and control their information and data. Subsequently, businesses achieve better workflow and efficiencies, avoid redundancy, and even enhance security. By better managing information and data, businesses can maximize internal resources to improve customer service, increase sales, increase margins, and operate more efficiently. Effective content management can turn useless data into dollars.

Because of the growing need, the ECM industry is projected to exceed $5.1 billion by 2014 with a compound annual growth rate of 9.5%. These projections bode well for companies that deliver ECM services.

GlobalWise Investments is making its mark in this sector and is poised to capture a significant market share of fast growing ECM industry. The company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Intellinetics, delivers industry-leading software that provides cloud based solutions for today’s business demands.

Hanover Portfolio Acquisitions (HVPA) Changes Name to Endonovo Therapeutics

Hanover Portfolio Acquisitions has announced that, effective immediately, it will now operate under the name Endonovo Therapeutics.

As part of this change, the company’s website, www.hanoverpai.com, has officially been changed to www.endonovo.com. The company’s email addresses will soon migrate to an @endonovo.com suffix.

The adoption of the name Endonovo Therapeutics coincides with the company’s development of noninvasive, time-varying electromagnetic field (TVEMF) therapies for inflammatory, autoimmune, and degenerative diseases, including diabetes, liver disease, and cardiovascular disease. Endonovo Therapeutics’ technology has the capability to mobilize and expand stem cells 80-fold to therapeutic levels, as well as up-regulate hundreds of components involved in the healing/regeneration process without using drugs.

The company began developing this technology in the 1980s at NASA in order to create therapies for diseases and injuries that could be experienced by astronauts during long-term manned missions in outer space. Endonovo Therapeutics is now seeking to apply this knowledge, gained over 25 years, regarding the effects of microgravity and the earth’s magnetic field on specific cells to treat diseases for earthbound patients.

“The change from Hanover Portfolio Acquisitions to Endonovo Therapeutics comes at a defining point in our company’s history,” said company CEO Alan Collier. “We have independent third-party studies that confirm the safety of our technology. The next step is to conduct clinical trials to prove the efficacy of our technology in treating several diseases.”

Neutra Corp. (NTRR) Working towards Replication of Anti-Staph Success in More NCAA Locker Rooms

Neutra Corp., a fast-growing provider of all-natural wellness solutions, is currently working with its joint venture partner Surface to Air Solutions, LLC for creating solutions that protect student athletes from deadly infections. The company is looking to replicate the safeguard approach adopted by Texas Christian University for protection of its athletes and make this same level of protection available to student athletes in NCAA-participating college campuses across the United States.

Earlier this year, Surface to Air Solutions, LLC acquired Zero-Blast, a Texas-based company that specializes in advanced, anti-microbial coatings for germ-infested environments such as college sports locker rooms. Zero-Blast’s top product, Armor-Blast, is a polymerized organosilane that bonds to surfaces; upon bonding, it then forms a barrier that kills germs, microbes, and pathogens on contact.

As a safe and non-toxic coating, Armor-Blast need only be applied four times a year and provides constant, strong protection against MRSA, e. coli, H1N1, black mold, athlete’s foot, and more. Zero-Blast had partnered with TCU for the past four years, and had been found to be so successful in its initial sterilizations of the university’s football facilities and equipment, its sterilization operations for the campus were expanded. The Texas company’s Armor-Blast was then used to sterilize basketball, baseball, volleyball and soccer facilities, as well as indoor field turf.

“TCU has been the perfect test case for this technology,” said Neutra Corp. CEO Sydney Jim. “Our company, along with our partners, has been in contact with numerous colleges around the country interested in replicating TCU’s success in battling dangerous infections.”

Neutra Corp. is dedicated to commercializing innovative, all-natural products to compete in the fast-growing wellness sector. For more information, visit: www.neutracorp.com

AudioEye, Inc. (AEYE) Provides Expected Q4 Earnings, Market Outlook for 2014

AudioEye, developer of patented Internet content publication and distribution software, said it expects to report fourth-quarter revenue of more than $690,000, a sequential increase of approximately 82 percent compared to third-quarter revenue of $381,540, and drastically higher than revenue of $3,226 reported in the fourth quarter of last year.

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2013, the company expects to report a revenue of more than $1.5 million, an increase of 430 percent compared with 2012 revenue of $282,063.

The company also increased its gross profit margin to at least 74 percent of sales in the fourth quarter from 66 percent of sales in the third quarter. For full-year 2013, gross profit margin approximated 73 percent of sales.

AudioEye expects to report audited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2013, no later than March 31, 2014.

In announcing its fourth-quarter financial expectations, AudioEye CEO Nathaniel Bradley emphasized the company’s sales growth and what it means for future initiatives.

“We are proving out use cases and efficacy in profitable and scalable implementations of our industry-first software tools, and we consider the quintupling in 2013 revenue a solid indication that we are succeeding in our business plan,” Bradley stated in the news release. “During 2014, we are focused on both the replication of this success by selling more within proven market verticals, such as behavioral health, universities and pharmaceuticals, and expansion through our intellectual property licensing initiatives into government, e-commerce, real estate, entertainment, travel, leading Internet destinations and populated mobile applications. …”

Bradley also noted the U.S. Department of Justice’s stated intent to expand enforcement activities regarding the CVAA, which would require that government, corporate and educational website content be fully accessible by vision-impaired individuals, without requiring these individuals to pay additional costs relative to non-impaired website users. These changes would create a viable opportunity for AudioEye to integrate its platform and achieve continued growth, said Bradley.

“We believe our patented Audio Internet platform represents the most effective way for government agencies, companies and institutions to comply with the CVAA. Increased enforcement activities, along with efforts by corporate, government and other content publishers to fully harness the potential of the Internet, should continue to drive AudioEye’s revenue growth at a rapid pace. Based upon information currently available to the company, we expect our operations to be cash flow positive in 2014,” he concluded.

Victory Energy Corp. (VYEY) Targets Permian Basin’s Oil Production

Victory Energy is an independent, growth-oriented oil and gas company focused on growing proved reserves and cash flow via the continued development of existing properties and the acquisition of new resource properties.

The company will source new capital to facilitate this growth by continuing to utilize an established pipeline in investors available through Aurora Energy Partners and tapping into additional third party sources of capital when available. Victory is committed to creating long-term shareholder value by increasing oil reserves, lowering costs, boosting production volumes, and prudently managing the capital on its balance sheet.

While geographically focused onshore, the company’s primary emphasis is on the Permian Basin of Texas and southeast New Mexico. Victory strategically utilizes both internal capabilities and key industry relationships to acquire non-operated working interest positions in low to moderate risk oil and gas prospects. Its focus is on oil or liquid-rich gas projects within longer life reservoirs that offer competitive finding and development (F&D) cost per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE.)

Victory targeted the Permian Basin in particular because it is the most active play oil field in the United States, with 2,294 operational wells out of 8,800 total in the country in the second quarter of 2013. The area covers an approximately 250 miles wide and 300 miles long space, and through an increased use of enhanced recovery practices, has produced a substantial impact on U.S. soil production, making up 71% of all oil production in Texas and 17% of the total U.S. production.

The breakeven cost of doing business in the Permian Basin is about $50 per barrel. And according to consultants, production in the Permian Basin is estimated to grow 60% between now and 2016, reaching a total of 1.8 million barrels per day.

Victory Energy is a proven leader in the natural gas industry, and is financially healthy, with a long-term commitment to the development of natural gas resources. Although management takes pride in their past accomplishments, they believe there are many more opportunities ahead. To that end, they are continuing to build outside relationships with established E&P operators, geologists, and engineers who provide access to quality opportunities and the specific expertise needed for continuing success in the resource plays on which the company is focused.

Allied Nevada Gold Corp. (ANV) Launches Oxidation Pilot Plant Study on Strong Phase 1 & 2 Metallurgical Results, Taps Industry Vet for Key Role

Allied Nevada Gold, coming off solid results in Phase 1 testing (using bio-oxidation as an alternative to the originally planned and more traditional pressure oxidation processing) aimed at generating saleable gold/silver dore bars from concentrates at their flagship (61.4k-acre) Hycroft Mine near Winnemuca, has come out today with a report that Phase 2 of the ongoing metallurgical program is now complete, having produced positive results which are similar to Phase 1. Extremely encouraging capital and operating cost projections developed from these latest tests have sparked the initiation of a pilot plant level study via a third party laboratory which will use the Phase 2 ambient pressure alkaline oxidation (AAO) process on rougher concentrates. The bench-scale Phase 2 work in AAO using trona (sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate) as the pH modifier showed superb recovery capabilities, and management is now confident that they have a stable approach vector for making dore bars on-site in a highly economical fashion.

The pilot plant (expected to be complete by the end of this quarter) will hammer out a complete processing circuit covering grinding, flotation to rough concentrate, as well as the final oxidation and leaching stages, giving ANV a really good idea of what to expect in terms of the final logistical requirements and potential further process optimizations that may be executed with the eventual construction of a full-scale oxidation plant. The extant test data will be used in conjunction with capital and operating cost analysis, alongside the pilot plant work, to produce an updated prefeasibility study by privately held full-service design firm out of Tucson, M3 Engineering & Technology, a trusted ANV ally.

Extensive technical analysis highlighting the AAO process and its use as intended at Hycroft is available in the Pennstrom Consulting memorandum (includes Hazen Research and M3 backgrounders) on the ANV website (PDF). Compelling overall recovery efficiency and the related project economics are worth taking a closer look at, with the available test data clearly indicating that processing the rougher concentrate works as well as with cleaner concentrate, allowing ANV to forego the 10% gold recovery loss typical of the necessary cleaning flotation.

The company has its sights set now on processing 100% of the rougher concentrates into dore right at the mine site, bypassing the inferior profitability metrics of the original mine plan, which only targeted roughly 33% of the rougher concentrate and which was handicapped by having to sell the remainder to third party facilities for processing. Previous production from Hycroft under the prior ownership (from 1987 to 1998) totaled over a million ounces of gold via open-pit heap leaching and since ANV picked up the digs and restarted operations in 2008, the company has successfully sold more than 500k ounces of gold and another 2.2M ounces of silver. The company also just sold off their non-core Hasbrouck and Three Hills properties (Jan 27) for $30M to West Kirkland Mining, allowing ANV to put a laser-focus on Hycroft.

Further emphasizing a strong drive to advance the Hycroft Mine, ANV has now also tapped consultant for Hycroft over the past 8 months and 40-year PM industry veteran, Garry Keizer, a construction, engineering, process operations and project management wizard, for the VP of Capital Projects slot. Keizer comes to Allied Nevada hot from the GM position (engineering, procurement and construction management contracts) over at Hanlon Engineering and Architecture in Tucson. Keizer has certainly earned his scars in the industry, working across a variety of technical and managerial roles for such heavy hitters as Barrick, involved with several major billion dollar construction projects around the world like Pascua Lama ($3B) and the $5B Pueblo Barrick/Goldcorp JV, Pueblo Viejo.

International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO): Changing the Field of Regenerative Medicine with Unique, Self-Sustaining Business Model

International Stem Cell is focused on exploring and advancing the therapeutic applications of human stem cells as well as the development and commercialization of cell-based biomedical products. The company was the first to develop and perfect a new class of human stem cells, parthenogenetic stem cells, created from unfertilized human eggs, and has established a strong patent portfolio offering clean intellectual property and freedom to operate.

Utilizing a strategy much different than the majority of other players in the biotech space, International Stem Cell generates revenues from its individual subsidiary business units that sell products developed from scientific discoveries made by International Stem Cell. Not only is this model self-sustaining with revenues used to support scientific research and development, it also provides practical, short-term applications of the core technologies.

The Lifeline Cell Technology (LCT) and Lifeline Skin Care (LSC) commercial businesses provide the foundation for International Stem Cell’s short-term application. For the six-months ended June 30, 2013, International Stem Cell reported revenues of $2.74 million, compared to revenues of $2.13 million for the prior year period. LCT contributed $1.38 million, up 30 percent year-over-year, while LSC contributed $1.36 million, an increase of 27 percent from the same period in 2012.

Therapeutic programs, including those addressing Parkinson’s disease, metabolic liver disease and corneal blindness, make up International Stem Cell’s medium-term applications. In regards to its Parkinson’s disease program, International Stem Cell has carried out several stem cell-based experiments and recently concluded its first pilot primate study with favorable results. In mid-2104, the company plans to submit to the U.S. FDA an investigational new drug (IND) application, and recently engaged Duke University as a partner to carry out the phase I clinical study of Parkinson’s disease in human subjects.

International Stem Cell’s long-term strategy is focused on therapeutic products, licensing revenue and the company’s stem cell bank, UniStemCell, the life science industry’s first collection of non-embryonic histocompatible human stem cells available for research and commercial use.

Each aspect of International Stem Cell’s business model is centered on the company’s proprietary stem cell technology. The company’s stem cells present superior immune matching capabilities and can be used in millions of people, regardless of their sex or racial background, with minimized expectation of immune rejection following transplantation.

VistaGen Therapeutics (VSTA) Stands to Benefit from Unprecedented, Long Overdue Shift in Pharmaceutical Industry

There’s a pivotal shift taking place the pharmaceutical industry, one that bridges the gap between the company with an $80 billion market cap and heavy cash flow and the one with an $8 million market cap scraping the bottom of the barrel. That bridge is called public market, and by connecting the landmass (market space, in this case) of both companies, there is considerable and growing symmetry in the balance of power between the pharmaceutical giants and the little guys.

In an interesting article entitled, “The Big Guys Have Lost Their Iron Grip, and It’s All Good,” author Luke Timmerman likens big pharma’s relationship with the small biotech players to his seventh grade physical education teacher, who used his size and a “patented ‘pinch’” to drag students to his office for disciplining.

Noting that big pharma companies for the last decade have taken the upper hand at the bargaining table against small companies with high-potential new therapies, Timmerman writes:

“That’s no longer true. The little guy with a promising new drug candidate can walk away from a low-ball bid and go public now. The rising tide of the stock market has roughly doubled the group of companies that have the cash to buy innovative new drugs. …What it means, essentially, is that the little guy in biotech that develops most of the innovative products suddenly has options. … More people will now be encouraged to start new biotech companies, to invest in them, and they will be fairly rewarded when successful. It’s the healthiest environment for innovation that I’ve seen in years.”

Here’s what used to happen. Biotech companies painstakingly and expensively worked for years to advance their innovations from idea through the development to validating results in clinical trials and setting out in search of licensing deals or acquisition. Then, a big pharma would flag the potential of this drug candidate and low-ball a measly bid to the biotech company who didn’t have the power to negotiate or ask for more.

“Then along came the great biotech bull market of 2013. It was the second-biggest year on record for biotech IPOs, with 52 companies going public by my count. The Nasdaq Biotech Index rose 66 percent last year, compared with the broader Nasdaq Composite Index, which saw a 39 percent gain,” writes Timmerman.

With the numbers comes leverage, and mid-cap pharmaceutical companies have grown into positions of opportunity to compete in acquisition bidding wars against bigger industry players. Now, small biotechs are in a better position to play the field of interested bidders and negotiate higher upfront payments, and more profitable milestones.

Take small-cap biotech company VistaGen, for example. VistaGen is focused on advancing its stem cell technology for drug rescue with the goal of generating a pipeline of drug rescue variants that it plans to license or sell them to larger biotech and pharmaceutical companies who have the resources to further develop and commercialize the product.

VistaGen is addressing major challenges in the drug development process based on the patented and clinically predictive drug development capabilities of its Human Clinical Trials in a Test Tube™ platform. In today’s market, VistaGen has an incredible change, buoyed by several variables, to sell its drug rescue variants to a larger company that will be willing to shell out a fair price.

“Part of what’s driving the higher prices, of course, is simple supply and demand. There’s always a scarcity of great new drugs in the pipeline … Pharma companies are as hungry as ever, and desperate in some cases, to fill up their meager R&D pipelines. … The big guys should be able to pick up a steady stream of innovations they can purchase, at still-reasonable prices. A few (not more than a handful) of venture capital firms will refill their coffers. They, along with a few good entrepreneurs, will be encouraged to invest in more groundbreaking, platform type technologies …,” states Timmerman.

Thanks to increasing equilibrium of power between pharmaceutical behemoths and innovative small-cap plays, companies like VistaGen find themselves in an unprecedented position of power and opportunity.

OBJ Enterprises, Inc. (OBJE) Building New Revenue Streams with In-app Rewards

Today, OBJ Enterprises announced it is working to leverage an up-and-coming market dynamic for generation of new revenue streams: offering redeemable, in-mobile-app rewards.

While a few market leaders have encountered success in this area, there are some surprises as to the companies which have been successful in discovering new ways to monetize their apps. For one, Pizza Hut has emerged as an innovator in creating and monetizing in-app rewards. Specifically, it created an Xbox 360 app in which users could earn up to 1,000 redeemable Gamerscore points via performance actions including ordering using the takeout menu, requesting extra dipping sauce, and many other actions. Thus, Pizza Hut was successful in “gamifying” its pizza-ordering experience.

Just this week, Pizza Hut announced that it had sold $1 million worth of pizza through its Xbox 360 app in less than four months after its launch in April 2013. Of all whom ordered in-app, 11% of users had never ordered from Pizza Hut before. OBJ Enterprises is working to create a similar monetization model for upcoming mobile gaming titles, in which mobile users can redeem points and achievements they obtain in these apps for real-world coupons, products, special offers, and more. These special deals would be supplied by corporate partners, which would then purchase these leads as well as critical marketing insights gained in-app from the leads’ playing experiences.

“By partnering with businesses that want to market their offerings to the rapidly growing number of mobile gamers, we can help connect gamers with hot deals on the products they use anyway and drive new customers to worthy providers,” said OBJE CEO Paul Watson.

OBJ Enterprises continues to develop new strategic partnerships and innovative gaming titles for the global mobile gaming industry via its wholly owned subsidiary, Obscene Interactive. The company is looking to build a portfolio of popular gaming titles crafted to appeal to a broad audience of consumers all over the world, supporting multiple mobile platforms for maximum marketing value.
