OurPet’s Company (OPCO) CEO Featured in Exclusive DreamTeamNetwork Interview

In a recent interview with DreamTeamNetwork, Dr. Steven Tsengas, chairman and chief executive officer of OurPet’s Company (OTCQX: OPCO), gave some insight into OPCO’s strong start to 2016, as well as its prospects for additional growth moving forward. The primary focus of the interview is OPCO’s record financial results for the first quarter of 2016, which included a double-digit increase in both net revenue and net income from the comparable period of the previous year. When asked about the driving force behind the company’s strong performance, Dr. Tsengas pointed toward OPCO’s continued commitment to innovation in the pet industry.

“We introduced in 2015 quite a lot of new products,” Dr. Tsengas stated in the interview. “Also, the tremendous investment we made in the waste and odor control products finally started showing results, and we had double-digit growth in the cat waste and odor control products… We have over 160 patents, issued or pending… [and] about 75 percent of our sales are derived from proprietary products. This has given us a tremendous advantage in the marketplace in terms of sales growth, as well as profitability.”

In addition to a massive 64 percent increase in revenues derived from its waste and odor products category, OPCO recorded strong performance in its remaining product segments. The company achieved growth of 10 percent for its toys and accessories segment in the first quarter, as well as nine percent growth for its bowls and feeders product category.

These results highlight OPCO’s rapidly expanding presence on the domestic stage, but the company is also turning its attention toward international growth. In the first quarter, international sales dipped by just over seven percent due to the strength of the U.S. dollar, but Dr. Tsengas presented a promising outlook for OPCO’s international growth in the coming months.

“It’s kind of interesting. I think one of the big positive surprises in 2016 is going to be international sales,” he stated. “In spite of the appreciation of the American dollar, we’ve been putting a lot of emphasis in… South Korea, China and Japan, and the fruits are about to bare in those particular markets. We’ve gained very strong following for our products… Both the OurPet’s and the PetZone brands are becoming quite well-known in the Far East.”

Following the launch of its newest innovation, the Intelligent Pet Care™ product line, at this year’s Global Pet Expo, OPCO reaffirmed its position at the forefront of the global pet industry. Leveraging Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, the company’s newest product line aims to enhance the connection between humans and pets in a variety of ways while giving pet parent’s the tools necessary to monitor various activities that can be interpreted as indicators of pet health. Reception following the Intelligent Pet Care™ unveiling confirmed the market potential of these cutting-edge products.

“At the Global Pet Expo… we launched the Intelligent Pet Care™ and [garnered] so much interest that we ended up having a special showing and invited magazines, newspapers and all kinds of media,” added Dr. Tsengas.

With a strong start already in the books, OPCO will look to build on its first quarter results while promoting sustainable financial growth for the balance of 2016 and beyond. Dr. Tsengas echoed this optimistic tone to close out the interview.

“The major goal is… to grow at double-digit rates at three- to four-times industry growth, this has been our goal since our founding,” he stated. “Of course, profitability should grow at a faster rate because of economies of scale and absorption… We’re optimistic about 2016. I think we should have a pretty good year.”

Star Mountain Resources Inc. (SMRS) Making an Active Difference through Honest and Ethical Conduct

Nearly every company today has some form of guidelines when it comes to ethics and behavior in the workplace. Of course, these guidelines vary according to the company. However, most include information about what is expected of an employee, what an employee can expect from the company, how conflicts should be dealt with, the protection of company information, confidentiality, and the opportunities the company has to offer. The reason these ethical guidelines are so important is because they outline the standards that each member of the team should meet. Not only this, they highlight the expectations that the public can have of an organization or company. Star Mountain Resources Inc. (OTC: SMRS) is no exception.

Star Mountain Resources is a small cap mining company focused on the acquisition of mineral properties. As such, the company must adhere to a large number of rules and regulations. But Star Mountain has set itself up to not just follow required guidelines. It has outlined a set of core values, and lives by them in everything it does. The values SMRS has implemented run throughout the company and everyone who works there is expected to support and demonstrate these values in their work.

Star Mountain believes that its core values are what define it as a company, values that include safety, dignity and respect, transparency, environmental responsibility, community, and continuous improvement. SMRS works to ensure that all its employees, directors, and officers abide by a code of ethical conduct that promotes high standards of integrity for the company and allows it to conduct its daily affairs ethically, transparently, and honestly.

This code lays out a set of rules and regulations to ensure that every person and action is evaluated fairly and correctly, informing all parties how to act in cases of conflict of interest. In addition, the code and the company’s core values and ethics are shared on the Star Mountain Resources website.

An example of this approach in action is Star Mountain’s recent acquisition of the Balmat zinc mining operations in St. Lawrence County, New York, from HudBay Mineral. Although this is a big step toward the company’s transformation from junior explorer to active producer, SMRS has aimed to keep all dealings and information about the Balmat mine as open to the public as possible in order to maintain consistency throughout its operations, now and in the future.

With Alternet Systems, Inc.’s (ALYI) Big Data Division, SMEs can make it to the Big Leagues

Michael Lewis’s Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game tells the heartwarming story of how the Oakland Athletics baseball team achieved success in spite of financial limitations. General Manager Billy Beane spurned the traditional approach to selection that relied mainly on the expertise of coaches and scouts and, instead, embraced the analytics of big data in an age when the term was still incubating. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. The Oakland Athletics’ budget of $40 million was the third-lowest in 2002, one-third of that of the top-placed New York Yankees with $120 million. Yet, the team made it to the playoffs in 2002 and again in 2003. Made into a 2011 movie starring Brad Pitt, this story dramatically illustrates the potency of ‘big data’. Now, Alternet Systems, Inc. (OTC: ALYI) is bringing these capabilities to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) after the launch of its Data Analytics Division. Now, SMEs have a chance to make it to the Big Leagues.

Back in 2002, the power of big data was recognized by only a prescient few. In a 2001 paper (http://dtn.fm/0zVZf), Douglas Laney, working for the META group, now Gartner, wrote of the “Three V’s” of Big Data, i.e., volume, variety and velocity. The first of these variables, volume, is multiplying exponentially. According to Statista, data volume of global consumer IP traffic from 2014 to 2019 (in petabytes per month) is growing at an annually compounded rate of 24 percent (http://dtn.fm/GBav1). It was and is expected to be 58,137 PB in 2015, 71,453 PB in 2016, 88,730 PB in 2017, 111,015 PB in 2018 and 138,415 PB in 2019. To put the size of a petabyte in context: assuming the typical pop song has a digital size of 5 Mb, one petabyte of music would be 215 million songs, enough for many lifetimes of listening.

This huge mass of data prompted economist Francis Diebold to remark in a 2012 paper (http://dtn.fm/UWqR8) that ‘the necessity of grappling with Big Data, and the desirability of unlocking the information hidden within it, is now a key theme in all the sciences – arguably the key scientific theme of our times.’ He goes on to say that ‘Big Data is now not only a phenomenon and term, but also a discipline… Big Data as a discipline is not merely taking us to bigger traditional places. Rather, it’s taking us to wildly new places, unimaginable only a short time ago, ranging from cloud computing and associated massively-parallel algorithms, to methods for controlling false-discovery rates when testing millions of hypotheses, with much in between.’

Alternet Systems, Inc. launched its Data Analytics Division in January 2016. The company’s Analytics-as-a-Service solutions enable companies to better understand consumer trends and improve their marketing initiatives. These cloud-based solutions are currently being developed in the United States, Colombia, and Peru.

Laguna Blends (LAGBF) Renews Canadian Football League All Star Pro Emmanuel Arceneaux as Brand Ambassador

Network marketing company Laguna Blends, Inc. (OTC: LAGBF), based in British Columbia, is the first such company to use advanced 3D communication technologies for building a fast growing network of affiliates, driving sales of its hemp food and beverage products. The company’s Pro369 hemp protein drink is a source of Omegas 3, 6, and 9, and has been officially recognized by the Canadian Health Ministry as being a natural source of protein and amino acids. Since these are the things that promote muscle building and tissue repair, it’s catching the eye of professional sports. Just like the sportswear and equipment industry has been able to tap the interest of sports professionals to catapult brands in the marketplace, Laguna Blends is finding sports pros of its own, and has renewed as a brand ambassador Canadian Football League All Star Pro Emmanuel Arceneaux of the BC Lions. The leading receiver has played four seasons with the Lions, with a two-year tour in the NFL.

Arceneaux is more than a spokesman, he is a fan of Laguna’s products, a critical component of any such relation. The company’s press release on the renewal quotes the 28 year old star player as saying:

“Since I have included the Laguna products as part of my daily diet it’s enhanced my training and performance. I am proud to work with Laguna as a brand ambassador. Laguna’s Pro369 is amongst the highest quality plant based protein products in the industry. Laguna has approved health claims from Health Canada. I need to know that I am consuming the highest quality products. Combining hemp and ginseng is a powerful combination. I am down to 220 pounds from 225 pounds. I will continue to use the Pro369, hemp protein as a part of my diet.”

Laguna’s CEO, Stuart Gray, said, “Emmanuel Arceneaux is a class act on and off the football field. Laguna is proud to renew Emmanuel’s contract and have him continue to be part of our Laguna team.”

Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (LQMT) Facilitates $55 Million Investment Stemming from EONTEC Partnership

In March, Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: LQMT) closed on a financing transaction outlining an investment of up to $63.4 million from Professor Lugee Li, chairman and majority stockholder of DongGuan EONTEC Co., Ltd. Initial closing related to this transaction occurred on March 10, 2016, in the amount of $8.4 million, with Li committing to an additional $55 million investment pending shareholder approval of an increase in authorized shares. Late last week, Liquidmetal announced that, at its annual shareholder meeting, the company’s shareholders approved an increase in its authorized shares from 700 million to 1.1 billion, allowing Liquidmetal to issue common stock to facilitate the remaining $55 million investment and dramatically strengthen its cash position.

“With the increase in authorized shares, we are now poised to close on the remaining $55 million investment committed by Professor Li,” Thomas Steipp, president and chief executive officer of LQMT, stated in last week’s news release. “We are very excited about the ongoing partnership we are building with EONTEC and look forward to finalizing the investment transaction.”

In addition to the financing transaction, Liquidmetal also entered into a parallel licensing agreement with EONTEC to cross-license the two companies’ respective technologies. Liquidmetal’s amorphous alloy technology, which enables the development of unique materials that can retain random structures following solidification, is expected to offer a number of operational synergies with EONTEC’s precision die-casting operations in the consumer electronics, medical, automotive and industrial fields.

“EONTEC’s capabilities complement LQMT’s focus on production of high-performance parts, allowing LQMT to address a broad range of market opportunities from automotive, medical, and industrial customers,” Li added in a news release. “This partnership positions LQMT well to support design and production globally at a vastly increased pace.”

A post on the Liquidmetal blog (http://dtn.fm/I0WdX) from earlier this year gave investors a glimpse of the possibilities of the company’s innovative technology in addressing a range of automotive applications. In particular, the author states that the use of Liquidmetal alloy may offer “greater design freedom than ever before… [providing] an opportunity to access unique properties with the design freedom of a molding process.” In terms of critical attributes for automotive applications, including precision and corrosion resistance, the blog states that Liquidmetal alloys can “often beat the most precise CNC machining operations” and “have significantly outperformed stainless steel in several corrosion tests.”

As the only company currently producing amorphous alloys in commercially-viable bulk form, Liquidmetal is strategically positioned to make a splash in a wide array of industries moving forward. Look for the company to benefit from both its cross-licensing agreement with EONTEC and its strengthened cash position following the impending finalization of Li’s $55 million investment as it sets its sights on the establishment of a truly global market in Liquidmetal alloy solutions through which to market its core offerings.

“This investment and partnership recognizes the significant advancements in technological and commercial capabilities that Liquidmetal has forged over the last five years,” added Steipp. “EONTEC and Liquidmetal each bring significant capabilities to this partnership, and we believe that result will be a much larger market that develops much more quickly.”

Content Checked (CNCK) Ahead of the Game as FDA Places Microscope on Added Sugars with Revamped Nutrition Facts Label

In recent years, added sugars have come under increased scrutiny from nutrition activists, and for good reason. According to the Mayo Clinic (http://dtn.fm/hU92i), added sugars, which are introduced to foods during processing, can play a major role in a variety of potential health problems, including poor nutrition, weight gain, increased triglycerides and tooth decay. As a result, dietary guidelines continually warn of the dangers of overconsumption of sugar. The American Heart Association (http://dtn.fm/5AfAf), for example, suggests consuming no more than 100 calories a day from added sugars for most women and no more than 150 calories a day for most men. To put those restrictions into perspective, a single teaspoon of sugar has about 16 calories.

Navigating the grocery aisle to find products that support moderate sugar consumption can be difficult. After all, a 12-ounce soft drink can feature about 160 calories of sugar. With this in mind, it’s no surprise that the majority of U.S. adults exceed their recommended daily allowances of sugar. To this point, uncovering added sugars in products has remained a frustrating and confusing ordeal. Late last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took a major step toward improving this issue through the release of a ‘new look’ Nutrition Facts label that places more attention on calories and added sugars (http://dtn.fm/5P2oo).

“You will no longer need a microscope, a calculator, or a degree in nutrition to figure out whether the food you’re buying is actually good for our kids,” First Lady Michelle Obama stated at a conference announcing the new rules.

Though these changes are a step in the right direction, they also highlight the relatively slow speed at which these updates take place. Not only has the current nutrition label stood unmodified for more than 20 years, it took more than two years for the FDA to agree upon the updated design, which was originally developed back in 2014. Furthermore, large-scale food and beverage manufacturers now have more than two years to implement the changes on their products, with manufacturers totaling less than $10 million in annual food sales receiving an additional year to comply. Luckily for consumers in search of a better way to uncover the sugar content of their favorite products, one company is ahead of the game.

Content Checked Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CNCK), the company behind a family of mobile apps for individuals with specific dietary requirements and preferences, is taking aim at added sugars with its app SugarChecked. With a sizable database including more than 70 percent of all food products in the United States, SugarChecked helps users quickly uncover potentially unwanted ingredients such as added sugars, artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols and natural low-calorie sweeteners. When a product contains an undesirable amount of these ingredients, the SugarChecked app suggests suitable and related alternatives.

“Sugar intake in America has increased dramatically over the past few decades at the expense of our health,” Tory Tedrow, RD, CNSC, stated on the Content Checked blog (http://dtn.fm/7lyeY). “Now that the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans has recommended limiting sugar intake to <10% of your total calorie intake, it is even more important for consumers to be aware of the sources of sugar in our diets, why it’s so bad, and ways to decrease sugar intake.”

As the FDA turns its focus toward excess sugar, Content Checked is positioned ahead of the game with its innovative suite of mobile apps. With recent coverage in a variety of high-profile media and food allergy and intolerance publications and outlets – including Forbes, USA Today, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, among others – the company appears to be primed to build on its recent growth in the $13 billion food allergy and intolerances market in the months to come.

It may be Time to go Long on Giggles N’ Hugs (GIGL)

A look at the short sales (http://dtn.fm/Fk5lI) for Giggles N’ Hugs (OTCQB: GIGL) is showing why it may be time to go long. At the end of last year, short interest in the stock was 3,671. By April 29, 2016, that had declined to 490. Changes in short interest may reflect market sentiment. When short interest climbs, it’s because there’s an expectation that the stock will fall. When short interest declines, it could be the opposite. So why are the shorts getting nervous? The company’s latest 10-Q may have an answer. It shows that revenues were $878,932 for the quarter ended March 27, 2016, which was an increase of almost 10 percent over the fourth quarter of 2015. That’s quite an achievement.

Cost of revenue, which includes operational expenses, depreciation and amortization, was $859,659, resulting in a gross profit of $19,273. This was an improvement from the fourth quarter of 2015, when the company experienced a negative gross profit of $17,986 due to increases in labor and occupancy costs. That first quarter performance is an indication that the company can weather a storm.

In December 2015, Giggles N’ Hugs engaged Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, a boutique investment bank headquartered in New York. Under that agreement, Chardan is introducing Giggles N’ Hugs to potential investors and business partners, advising management as they prepare for road shows and performing a wide variety of other financial services. A very likely part of Chardan Capital’s ambit may be a securities offering under Regulation D. Giggles N’ Hugs plans to raise $5 million through a 506(c) offering. The 506(c) provision is new and was introduced to implement Section 201(a) of the JOBS Act with the object of eliminating the prohibition on using general solicitation under, what is now, Rule 506(b). Under Rule 506(c), companies will be allowed to employ general solicitation and advertising to accredited investors.

In its last Annual Report, Giggles N’ Hugs hinted that some of those funds will be used for promotional purposes. So far, the company’s marketing and advertising initiatives have been limited as it has sought to conserve working capital for operations. However, with additional funds, the company plans to market its products and services through a multi-pronged campaign. It will directly engage local preschools, kindergartens, and elementary schools in a variety of promotional programs. The company also plans to advertise on television channels such as Disney and Nickelodeon, as well as in additional print publications, radio, and satellite radio. The company’s first store has been frequented by numerous celebrities, which provides free and invaluable publicity, and management’s belief is that a large scale marketing campaign that increases the exposure of Giggles N’ Hugs would result in a significant increase in traffic and revenue.

Giggles N’ Hugs operates kid-friendly restaurants. Currently, there are three Giggles N’ Hugs locations in upscale Los Angeles malls. There’s one at Westfield Mall in Century City on Santa Monica Boulevard; a second at Westfield Topanga Shopping Center in Woodland Hills, Canoga Park; and a third at the Glendale Galleria. Those three fine dining establishments have average revenue of close to $1.2 million.

Monaker Group (MKGI) Could Rise Quickly in Alternative Lodging Space with Unique Mix of Sales Approach, Package Deal Bundling

A recent look (http://dtn.fm/PJWt1) at Expedia’s (NASDAQ: EXPE) increasingly dominant share (http://dtn.fm/C6oGP) of the roughly $1.3 trillion and growing travel market by research firm Morningstar forecast global online penetration as climbing steadily through 2020, from around 40 percent last year, with online travel bookings seeing as much as 10 percent growth per year. One of the hottest segments in this massive market is alternative lodging, where the rise of decentralized, peer-to-peer architectures and sharing economy models have helped augment the overall space (http://dtn.fm/1RyI9), with the most notable example being privately owned and operated short-term accommodation marvel Airbnb.

In many ways, Airbnb has offset aggressive pricing by hotels in what is traditionally a cyclical industry, creating a market where consumers have more choice at a better value than ever before. This sharing economy is now able to compete directly with incumbent operators in a major way and demonstrates why, in an industry where increasingly dominant Expedia recently gobbled up HomeAway, with its one million plus vacation rental listings, for nearly $4 billion, players like Priceline Group (NASDAQ: PCLN) are finding themselves increasingly outgunned.

It’s also a reason why alternative lodging-focused Monaker Group, Inc. (OTCQB: MKGI), which recently moved to lock down a key partnership with enterprise platform and solutions provider Primero Systems in order to facilitate final integration of its NextTrip.com platform, is such an interesting target. With some 1.2 million homes under contract via the AlwaysOnVacations acquisition that make MKGI bigger than HomeAway, a travel agent-based strategic overlay to supplement its market traction (a distinct feature unlike anyone else in the industry), and a partnership with Recruitergroup.com that gives the company access to a distribution base of some three million people, Monaker Group is well-positioned to benefit as the industry grows.

In a recent and exclusive interview with investor relations firm MissionIR (http://MKGI.MissionIR.com/interview.html), CEO Bill Kerby explained the importance of being the first in the industry to really nail the package deal concept and provide consumers with the best bundled alternative lodging and associated activities deals possible.

Navigate the Social Media Galaxy with FRAME from Agora Holdings (AGHI)

Visitors to the online Oxford Dictionaries will have noticed a new term, digital detox, defined as ‘a period of time during which a person refrains from using electronic devices such as smartphones or computers, regarded as an opportunity to reduce stress or focus on social interaction in the physical world…’ This is a welcome entry in many ways, not least of which because it indicates the extent to which we have embraced the use of digital devices increasingly over the past two decades. The new technology has downsides, of course, as the lexicographers at Oxford have recognized. However, the benefits far outweigh those, particularly in what is now known as social media. Social media has, in effect, created a vast virtual world parallel to the one we live in. And as a vehicle to traverse the complexities of cyber travel, Agora Holdings (OTC: AGHI), parent company of Geegle Media, has developed a navigational and management tool, called FRAME, that businesses can hitch a ride on.

FRAME is a social media management platform – the hub of a wheel spinning in the social media sphere. From FRAME’s centralized dashboard, a company can communicate with all of its followers and customers, regardless of which social media sites they use. FRAME shrinks the cyber galaxy, makes it manageable, and is, obviously, useful for any consumer business but ideal for public relations and investor relations firms. With FRAME, businesses will find it easier to engage customers, track and measure social media campaign performance, and execute the strategic distribution of branded content.

According to Nielsen’s ‘The U.S. Digital Consumer Report’ (http://dtn.fm/I7eOn), “Social media usage is now standard practice in our daily lives. Almost two-thirds (64%) of overall social media users say they use social media sites at least once a day via their computer, and almost half (47%) of smartphone owners visit social networks every day. With the rapid adoption of mobile devices, social media has a symbiotic relationship with the mobile consumer. And social media has played a pivotal role, empowering consumers by providing a direct point of contact with the brands they use and the content they access.”

The Nielsen report goes on to say that internet users continue to spend more time with social media sites than any other type of site, sites which can now be accessed from a variety of devices. The typical American household has four. Some 83 percent of U.S. households now own a high-definition television (HDTV) and 16 percent have a smart TV, essentially a big screen version of a PC. Desktops can be found in 80 percent of homes; digital video recorders in 49 percent; and gaming consoles in 46 percent. Roughly 29 percent own a tablet, while the most visibly ubiquitous device, the smartphone, is in third place, with 65 percent of households reporting ownership of one.

As of April 2016, the leading social networks worldwide ranked by number of active users, according to Statista, were:

Facebook (NASDAQ: FB): 1.59 billion users

WhatsApp, owned by Facebook: 1 billion users

Facebook Messenger: 900 million users

QQ, owned by Tencent (OTC: TCTZF): 853 million users

WeChat, owned by Tencent: 697 million users

QZone, owned by Tencent: 640 million users

Tumblr, owned by Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO): 555 million users

Instagram, owned by Facebook: 400 million users

Twitter (NYSE:TWTR): 320 million users

Baidu Tieba, owned by Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU): 300 million users

Skype, owned by Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT): 300 million users

Viber, owned by Rakuten (OTC: RKUNF): 249 million users

Sina Weibo (NASDAQ: WB): 222 million users

Line, owned by Naver (OTC: NHNCF): 215 million users

Snapchat: 200 million users

With so many worlds to explore, FRAME by Agora Holdings could become indispensable to public relations and investor relations firms moving forward.

International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO) Moves toward Commencement of Phase I Clinical Trial through Partnership with Cryoport

Earlier this week, Cryoport, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYRX), the world’s premier cryogenic logistics firm, announced a strategic partnership with International Stem Cell Corp. (OTCQB: ISCO) through which it will provide global logistics support for ISCO’s impending Phase I clinical trial of its human parthenogenetic stem cell-derived neural stem cells (ISC-hpNSC) for the treatment of moderate to severe Parkinson’s disease. Cryoport’s strategically located cryogenic facilities in Southern California and Singapore are expected to play a key role in ISCO’s efforts to maintain its cell therapy as it is transported around the globe to the study’s site, Australia’s Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, which is one of the world’s foremost brain research centers.

“This trial will take place across the globe and it is imperative that our cell therapy maintains integrity,” Dr. Russell Kern, executive vice president and chief scientific officer of ISCO, stated in a news release. “We are pleased to have Cryoport handle our global logistics requirements.”

The partnership with Cryoport marks the latest in a collection of recent milestones related to ISCO’s highly-anticipated clinical program. After receiving authorization to initiate a Phase I/IIa clinical trial of ISC-hpNSC from the Therapeutics Goods Administration of Australia in December, the company quickly entered into a master clinical research agreement with the Florey weeks later. In March, ISCO announced its entry into definitive agreements for the private placement of $6.3 million of its convertible preferred stock, along with purchase warrants covering an additional $25.7 million of the company’s common stock, effectively strengthening its cash position in order to fund its Phase I trial. ISCO also commenced enrollment for the study in March, with preliminary clinical data expected as soon as the fourth quarter of this year.

Parkinson’s disease currently affects roughly 6.3 million people around the world, about 15 percent of whom develop the condition before reaching the age of 50, according to data from the European Parkinson’s Disease Association. Parkinson’s is caused by the degeneration of the substantia nigra portion of the brain, which is characterized by its dopaminergic neurons. When these neurons die, the brain becomes deprived of dopamine, resulting in symptoms such as tremors, rigidity and impaired balance. According to the National Parkinson Foundation, approximately 80 percent of all dopamine-producing cells are typically lost before the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease present themselves.

ISCO is taking aim at this devastating condition through the use of regenerative medicine. Through its proprietary ISC-hpNSC product candidate, the company is seeking to introduce a new approach to treating Parkinson’s that involves replacing the dead dopaminergic neurons with healthy neural cells while also protecting the brain by expressing neurotrophic factors. In preclinical testing, the candidate has been shown effective in both alleviating current symptoms and preventing further deterioration.

“There is a large unmet medical need for new treatments that may halt or reverse the progression of Parkinson’s disease and we believe our human neural stem cells may fill this need for the millions of people with this disease,” Dr. Andrey Semechkin, chief executive officer of ISCO, added in a news release.

Content Checked (CNCK) Advocates a Healthy Perspective with the Power of Information

Content Checked Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CNCK) endeavors to build shareholder value by developing smartphone applications for people faced with dietary restrictions. Central to its efforts is the ContentChecked app, which derives its offering from a supporting database that enables users to scan barcodes affixed to products to determine if they meets their unique dietary preferences. Furthermore, ContentChecked creates personalized recipes, aligned with users’ requirements, which can serve as a handy tool when maneuvering around grocery stores.

CNCK’s differentiator in the marketplace revolves around its proprietary database and the convenience of having it at your fingertips 24 hours a day. While many apps steer users toward ‘what to purchase,’ Content Checked’s apps derive value from also informing users what is or is not suitable for them to consume.

With a healthy lifestyle being the overall goal for a growing number of consumers, a recent article published in SELF magazine, entitled ‘16 Dietitians Share How They Get Back On Track After Overeating’ (http://dtn.fm/f0xTh) offers its own collection of information guideposts. Content Checked’s Registered Dietitian, Tory Tedrow, C.N.S.C., is featured in the piece, stating, “I make sure to stay hydrated. That keeps me from mindlessly snacking, and I think of the extra bathroom trips as added exercise to my day. Most importantly, I remember that in the grand scheme of life, a few days or even weeks of overindulging are not going to make or break my health, weight, or overall wellbeing.”

eXp World Holdings (EXPI) is floating on its Cloud Brokerage as New Home Sales rise to Eight-Year High

A press release (http://dtn.fm/eWZO4) issued yesterday by the Commerce Department reported that ‘sales of new single-family houses in April 2016 were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 619,000’. The estimates, prepared jointly by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, indicated that construction of new homes in the U.S. in April 2016 rose almost 17 percent above the March 2016 figure of 531,000, and about 23 percent above the April 2015 number of 500,000. This is good news for eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI) and the over 1,100 agents and brokers who use its avant-garde cloud brokerage.

According to a Trading Economics analysis (http://dtn.fm/9w6EB), this ‘is the highest reading since January of 2008 and the biggest gain since 1992. New home sales in the United States averaged 652,450 from 1963 until 2016, reaching an all time high of 1,389,000 in July of 2005 and a record low of 270,000 in February of 2011.’

‘The median sales price of new houses sold in April 2016 was $321,100’ up by almost 10 percent from a year ago, meaning that half of the newly constructed homes sold in April 2016 had a price tag of over $321,100. The arithmetic average sales price was higher, at $379,800. According to numbers released by the National Association of Home Builders (http://dtn.fm/fOB2E), the 619,000 annual rate of new homes sold in April 2016 comprised 10 percent of the 6,069,000 annual rate of all home sales. The annual rate of existing homes sold in April 2016 was 5,450,000.

These numbers bode well for eXp World Holdings and its wholly-owned eXp Realty subsidiary. A recent research report on eXp World Holdings (http://dtn.fm/O1sMz), issued by Fundamental Research, stated that ‘the U.S. real estate brokerage industry is approximately $62 billion per year… based on the assumption that approximately 90% of the 5.25 million homes are sold through agents at an average price of $0.22 million per house, based on an average commission rate of 6%’. The Commerce Department’s April numbers would raise Fundamental Research’s estimates by about 15 percent.

eXp World Holdings is set to benefit from this resurgence in the residential housing market in two ways. First, its Agent-Owned Cloud Brokerage is attracting realtors in increasing numbers. In March 2016, the number of member agents grew by over 10 percent to more than 1,100, the fastest rate ever, according to CEO Glen Sanford in a MissionIR interview (http://dtn.fm/1wfRf). In 2015, eXp realtors put through 3,667 transactions with a value of $889 million. The company expects that figure to reach $1.5 billion this year. Revenues in 2015 were $22.87 million with gross profit of $3.41 million. As Fundamental Research point out, ‘the company can generate approximately 3% of total transactions in revenues, implying $45 million in revenues from $1.5 billion in transactions a year. Gross margin is estimated to be approximately 15%, implying gross profit of $6.75 million’.

Second, eXp World Holdings owns 90.5 percent of First Cloud Mortgage, Inc., which was set up in July 2015 to originate and provide loan products and services to potential homeowners. First Cloud will act as a mortgage broker, so no proprietary funds of eXp or its subsidiaries will be required. As of March 2016, First Cloud Mortgage was licensed to do business in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas. It has pending applications in Georgia and Virginia. It is expected that First Cloud Mortgage will broker between $50 million and $75 million in loans over the next 12 months and over $100 million in 2017. Gross profit should fall between 1.5% and 3.0% of transactions.

Laguna Blends, Inc. (LAGBF) Offering Individual Benefits to Its Affiliates through Cloud-Based Technology

With the technological advancements of today, it is no wonder that companies are offering their employees the opportunity to work remotely. Flexible or remote jobs have come under scrutiny since their recent emergence. Many academics, news reporters, and a variety of organizations have had mixed feelings about this new way of working. Many companies no longer have thousands of employees in an office. They offer their employees a freedom that enables them to pursue their desired lifestyle. Laguna Blends, Inc. (OTC: LAGBF) is one example of this increasingly popular way of running a business.

Laguna Blends is a network marketing company with a focus on functional hemp-based products. LAGBF now has two products: Caffe and Pro369. The company does not manufacture its own products, but it does work with manufacturers, partner researchers, and suppliers to produce white label products under the Laguna Blends brand. Laguna sells products through direct independent sellers in the U.S. and Canada. In a recent initial coverage report by Fundamental Research Corp., the research firm highlighted the fact that the management team at Laguna does not believe that traditional network companies have stayed up-to-date with technology. The report continues to discuss the primary objectives of the platform used by Laguna Blends.

Laguna Blends uses a virtual 3D technology platform that allows its affiliates to train, recruit and generate sales through a fully cloud-based environment. Aside from the fact that this platform allows affiliates to record and track their sales – and allows the company to track the performance of every consultant – it also enables people working for the company to lead a more flexible lifestyle. In other words, they are given the opportunity to work remotely, which means they can do their job and have an income no matter where they are in the world. Laguna is one of the only companies that uses this technology and it believes that it is a huge benefit to their overall operations.

The platform that Laguna has chosen for its business has given its affiliates a number of benefits. Aside from being able to work from the comforts of their own homes, affiliates with children can work while looking after their kids, those with any medical problems are able to continue their careers without worrying about a routine or being in a certain place at a certain time, and consultants can work from wherever they choose. Remote.co, a company that promotes the growth of remote jobs and careers, recently pulled together some data from research about flexible working and produced an article entitled ‘10 Stats About Remote Work’. The article highlights the most interesting findings regarding remote employment, some of which include an increase in worker productivity, lower stress levels, reduction in real estate costs and employee turnover, and a positive impact on the environment.

Edison Issues Initiation on International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO), Focus on Parkinson’s Potential

In a May 16, 2016, press release, Edison Investment Research announced initiation of coverage on International Stem Cell Corp. (OTCQB: ISCO). Edison describes itself as an international equity research firm with over 110 analysts and professionals, working with both large and small companies, as well as investors, wealth managers, private equity and corporate finance houses.

Edison’s focus on International Stem Cell Corp. centers around ISCO’s unique parthenogenetic stem cell technology platform, and its anticipated superior therapeutic potential for addressing health problems, specifically Parkinson’s disease. Parthenogenetic stem cells (hpSC) are generated from unfertilized eggs, meaning no viable human embryo is created or destroyed. The resulting cells thus bypass ethical issues. At the same time, parthenogenetic stem cells express fewer parental histocompatibility antigens, thus offering important immuno-matching advantages and significantly reducing the risk of immune system rejection.

ISCO parthenogenetic stem cells are seen as offering important qualities for the treatment of liver and eye diseases, as well as diseases of the central nervous system such as Parkinson’s. Of primary interest are diseases where, according to ISCO: “cell therapy has been clinically proven, but treatment options are limited by the availability of safe human cells”.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) represents an especially important target market. The Edison report states that:

“As many as 2-3 million people suffer from PD in the US and EU, according to the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation (PDF), and there are currently no approved treatments to slow or halt progression of the disease. If ISCO’s treatment proves effective at slowing or halting disease progression, we forecast potential peak sales of $2.8bn based on 2% of existing and 5% of newly diagnosed patients in the US and 1-2% of patients in the EU and RoW receiving treatment.”

The report also points out that ISCO has other commercial operations that leverage its hpSC technology, operations that provide revenue to support continued research into therapeutic applications. According to the report:

“Using a risk-adjusted NPV model, we value the company at $27m or $9.60 per basic share, using a 12.5% discount rate and a 7.5% probability of success for the PD candidate and a 10% discount rate and 90% probability for the skincare and biomedical businesses.”

Giggles N’ Hugs (GIGL) Molding Children into Contributing Members of Society with After School Activities

Giggles N’ Hugs, Inc. (OTCQB: GIGL) is the company behind three award-winning, family restaurants in Greater Los Angeles. Founded in 2010, the company has grown tremendously over the past six years. Giggles N’ Hugs is a place where families can come and relax, kids can act their age and adults can have a relaxed and healthy meal knowing that their children are in safe hands. The company offers a range of incredible, fun activities and awesome children’s entertainers, and it can host a range of events including birthday parties. Parties and events can be customized and come in all shapes and sizes depending on what guests want.

Aside from the incredible events GIGL runs, it has become one of the go-to places for celebrities across the country and has won a number of awards. Some of these include being voted #1 birthday place in LA by Nickelodeon, Best Pizza in LA by Nickelodeon, Best Indoor Playspace by Red Tricycle, and many more. Aside from the awards for food and facilities, GIGL works toward keeping children safe and healthy. The company uses extracurricular and out-of-school activities to mold the children of today into future contributing members of society.

Children, of course, do not just learn from school. They grow and progress through a number of educational and social experiences. Fun and effective afterschool programs offer a range of benefits that bring another height to their education on both an academic and social level. Aside from boosting academic performance, children are less at risk of bad behavior and also have the opportunity to engage in physical activities that promote better health.

Giggles N’ Hugs is not just a chain of family friendly restaurants that offer organic, healthy food. It is a company that is dedicated to offering parents a place to be while their children are involved in a range of beneficial activities. These include: face painting, scavenger hunts, karaoke, dance parties, arts and crafts, and much more. A feature at Youth.gov, entitled ‘Benefits for Youth, Families & Communities’ (http://dtn.fm/Guo9K), highlights a number of benefits of afterschool activities, some of which include improving academic performance and classroom behavior.

Giggles N’ Hugs came about when Dorsa and Joey Parsi could not find anywhere to have a healthy meal with their children. They now cater for thousands of children and families across southern California. GIGL is a family-friendly restaurant that does not just offer a child-friendly menu, but everything that goes with it. From utensils, to the right sizes of chairs, and everything in between, GIGL has become a positive life experience for children. GIGL teaches children about team building and nutrition, and also shows them right from wrong. The company is one-of-a-kind and offers a range of afterschool activities that are engaging, entertaining and educational.

Laguna Blends, Inc. (LAGBF) Product Passes the Flavor Test with Family and Friends of QualityStocks

Laguna Blends, Inc. (OTC: LAGBF) has a rapidly growing network of independent affiliates that includes more than 700 members from all corners of the United States and Canada. While this growth can be partially attributed to the company’s business model, which allows individuals to leverage tools and technology to build an international business from their own homes, Laguna’s innovative product line is also noteworthy. Capitalizing on the strong performance of the hemp retail industry, which was estimated at $620 million in 2014 according to the Hemp Industries Association, Caffe and Pro369 are infused with hemp protein to appeal to an increasingly mainstream audience.

“The feedback from the first product Laguna recently introduced, ‘Caffe’, has been tremendous,” Stuart Gray, president and chief executive officer of Laguna, stated in a news release. “By infusing both hemp and whey with coffee we have generated interest in hemp within a mainstream market of coffee drinkers. We are equally as excited to now offer Pro369 to our active affiliates and their customers.”

Prepared to stand behind its products, Laguna recently sent samples of Caffe to the QualityStocks team. After sharing these samples with family and friends, the reviews live up to the lofty standards set forth by Laguna’s management team.

“I was amazed they actually put protein and calcium in it.”

One of the biggest benefits of Caffe is its infusion of both hemp and whey protein. Hemp protein is derived from the hemp seed and is considered a powerful addition to any diet. Unlike lesser protein sources, it offers above-average digestibility, according to Livestrong, and provides additional benefits including potential immune enhancing and anti-fatigue properties, as well as kidney-protective effects. Unlike chalky protein powders, however, Caffe offers the benefits of hemp protein in a tasty package, and that’s something QualityStocks’ taste testers enjoyed.

“Best instant coffee I ever had.”

Even without the benefits of hemp protein, coffee is big business. According to Statistic Brain, about 54 percent of all Americans over the age of 18 drink coffee every day, with the average coffee drinker consuming more than three 9-ounce cups daily. With Caffe, Laguna targets this market, adding the convenience of an instant, ‘just add water’ packaging that boasts two grams of protein in every serving.

“I thought the coffee was very tasty and probably the best instant coffee I’ve ever had.”

Creating ongoing demand for a high quality product is always easier than peddling subpar wares, and Laguna is setting its affiliates up for success with Caffe. Last month, the company added to its product line with the introduction of Pro369, a single serving hemp protein powder available in four delicious flavors. Pro369 targets the global sports nutrition market, which is expected to reach $33.6 billion by 2020, according to Allied Market Research. Leaning on this market performance, Laguna will look to make a major splash through its network marketing business model in the months to come.

“With the commercialization of our unique, hemp-based beverage products, Laguna Blends is strategically positioned to capture market share in two high-demand markets,” added Gray.
