Large-Scale Distributor Plans + Positive #CBD Financials Bolster Market Despite Regulatory Issues (OTCQB: $NLBS) (OTCQX: $CWBHF) (NASDAQ: $VFF) (NYSE: $APHA)

Large-Scale Distributor Plans + Positive #CBD Financials Bolster Market Despite Regulatory Issues (OTCQB: $NLBS) (OTCQX:  $CWBHF) (NASDAQ: $VFF) (NYSE: $APHA)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – April 8, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a market snapshot discussing how the recent influx of positive 2018 financials have helped embolden the CBD market and showcase its progress in spite of unclear government regulations.

As discussed in a recent Forbes article “the two biggest pharmacy chains in the United States decided that CBD was worth exploring. Both CVS and Walgreens announced – within days of each other – that they would begin selling hemp-derived CBD products in 2,300 stores between the two nationwide chains. While you won’t find the trendy CBD products listed at these drugstores, their shelves will soon contain a variety of topical applications like creams, lotions, salves, patches, and sprays.”

                             

Continued: “The fact that nationally recognized brands are putting their weight behind cannabis-tangential products is almost certainly a harbinger of things to come – even if the complex reality of FDA regulations forces the drugstore chains to limit their CBD product lines to topical applications for practical and legal reasons.”

This endorsement of the CBD sector is only emboldened further with the recent string of positive 2018 financials coming out

Edgar Ward, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NutraLife Biosciences recently commented on the CVS CBD news, saying “It is encouraging to see that mainstream retail giants like CVS are offering hemp derived CBD products to consumers.”

Charlotte's Web Holdings Inc. (CSE: CWEB) (OTCQX: CWBHF), the market share leader in hemp-derived CBD extract products, recently reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2018. Some of the highlights of Fourth Quarter 2018 Results versus Fourth Quarter 2017 Results were: an organic consolidated revenue growth of 71% to $21.5 million (up 21% QoQ), gross profit increased 63% to $16.3 million, or 76% of consolidated revenue, adjusted EBITDA decreased from 37% to 20% of consolidated revenue, due to extraordinary items and 57% of revenue from eCommerce.

Village Farms International, Inc. (TSX: VFF) (NASDAQ: VFF) just recently announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2018.

Some of the financial and corporate highlights for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2018 included: a net income improved of US$0.3 million, or US$0.01 per share, sales, including the Company's proportionate share of Pure Sunfarms' sales, increased to US$40.6 million compared with US$36.9 million, EBITDA, was US$1.5 million compared with US$2.6 million. EBITDA included $0.9 million from Pure Sunfarms and the Company's common shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "VFF".

While most eyes are currently on the US CBD market, Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA) (NYSE: APHA) through its subsidiary Aphria Deutschland GmbH is focusing on other markets having recently launched the Company's first CBD-based nutraceutical, the first product in its CBD-based cosmetics line for the German market. Featuring CBD derived from hemp, the CannRelief brand of products are being produced in the European Union and distributed by the Company's subsidiary, CC Pharma, which has access to more than 13,000 pharmacies throughout Germany.

Before we see more major chains really double down on the cannabis landscape, a new regulatory framework will have to be developed and implemented, providing guidance for what these companies can and can’t do. Though we may be a long way off from that framework coming into place, a continued string of positive financials and interest from large parties like this is encouraging to see and helps give credence to the industry.

#California #Cannabis Distribution Deals Bring Good News to California Market; (CSE: $EAT.C) (CSE: $OH.C) (CSE: $GRIN.C) (CSE: $GABY.C)

#California #Cannabis Distribution Deals Bring Good News to California Market; (CSE: $EAT.C) (CSE: $OH.C) (CSE: $GRIN.C) (CSE: $GABY.C)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – April 8, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a market snapshot discussing the success of recent distribution agreements in the California cannabis space.

Nutritional High International Inc. (CSE: EAT) (OTCQB: SPLIF), a company focused on developing, manufacturing and distributing products under recognized brands in the cannabis products industry, with a specific focus on edibles and oil extracts for medical and adult recreational use, recently congratulated Cresco Labs Inc. on their agreement to acquire Origin House.

Read this in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2019/cannabis/04081Stocks-California.asp

"We are pleased that another California distribution and manufacturing company with many similarities was acquired at such a healthy multiple," commented Adam Szweras, Co-Chair of the Nutritional High board. "This acquisition and the valuation of Origin House are a vote of confidence for companies like Nutritional High, signaling that the market values companies who are able to control shelf space and realize greater margins and market penetration through ownership of the distribution pipeline."

Nutritional High recently released their Q2 2019 Financials with some of the highlights of $6.1 million from the sale of Cannabis related products in California, primarily via its wholly owned distributor, Calyx Brands Inc. which represents an annualized revenue run rate of $24.2 million.

At the end of January 31, 2019, the Company has now recognized a trailing twelve-month revenue from Cannabis sales of approximately $17.6 million, making Nutritional High's Calyx now one of the largest distributors in California.

Cresco Labs Inc. and CannaRoyalty Corp., d/b/a Origin House (CSE: OH) (OTCQX: ORHOF) recently announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement in which Cresco Labs will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Origin House, representing a total consideration of approximately C$1.1 billion on a fully-diluted basis, or C$12.68 per Origin House Share.

The Transaction represents the largest public company acquisition in the history of the US cannabis industry. The combined entity will be: one of the largest vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis operators in the United States; a leading North American cannabis company, by footprint; and one of the largest cannabis brand distributors.

Grown Rogue International Inc. (CSE:GRIN) (OTC: NVSIF), a vertically-integrated, multi-state cannabis company with licenses and operations in Oregon, California, and now Michigan recently released its financial and operating results for the three months ended January 31, 2019.

Some of the first Quarter 2019 highlights included: a first quarter revenue growth of 388% year-over-year to $834,309 which is expected to continue as the Company proceeds with its expansion plans in Oregon, California and Michigan, gross margin improved to 31% compared to negative gross margin Q1-2018, and Grown Rogue products in over 220 dispensaries in Oregon.

"Our Fiscal 2019 Q1 represents the first full quarter for Grown Rogue as a public company and marks the Company's 5^th consecutive quarter of revenue growth since launching first in the state of Oregon in late 2017," said Obie Strickler, President and CEO of Grown Rogue. "To have gained this brand recognition and sales traction, in what is arguably the world's most competitive legalized cannabis market, bodes very well for our expansion into California and particularly the newly legalized market in Michigan. We've grown very quickly from controlling just 3 licenses in one state a year ago to assets allowing us to have 22 licenses in three states today."

Gabriella's Kitchen Inc. (CSE: GABY), an innovative and leading-edge cannabis wellness company is ensuring its own distribution throughout the state having recently announced the completion of its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Sonoma Pacific Distribution, Inc., California's premier, independently-owned cannabis distribution company, which was previously announced on October 23, 2018.  With the closing of the Acquisition, GABY gains an expansive distribution reach across the state of California, which currently represents the world's most thriving cannabis market as well as a permanent cannabis distribution license that was issued to Sonoma Pacific by the California Bureau of Cannabis Control and the County of Santa Rosa on March 14, 2019.

"With the support of GABY and its executive team as well as the ability to leverage GABY's infrastructure, Sonoma Pac realized a record-breaking first quarter of 2019.  For the three month period ending March 31, 2019, it is estimated that Sonoma Pac generated revenue that exceeds CDN$8 Million from the sale of our proprietary products," stated Aaron Browe, President of Sonoma Pac.  "That number represents a massive 1,200% increase over the same quarter last year."

As California is currently the world’s largest regulated cannabis market, the market trends and developments that occur there will have a large impact on how the rest of the cannabis industry operates. These recent developments show that strong financials and a solid distribution channel have become necessities in this maturing market.

The California Senate voted last Thursday, April 4^th (voting 32-4), passing a bill that would allow the state to extend temporary licenses to cultivators until replacements are approved, removing a potentially large obstacle and showing it wants to maintain its market share.

The #AIEYE: #AI Bolstering #Security through Weapon Detection; (CSE: $VSBY.C) (TSXV: $PAT.V) (NASDAQ: $SSTI)

The #AIEYE: #AI Bolstering #Security through Weapon Detection; (CSE: $VSBY.C) (TSXV: $PAT.V) (NASDAQ: $SSTI)

Point Roberts WA, April 8, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence issues a special edition of The AI Eye, looking at the intersection of AI and Security.

In the increasingly digitized world, security is more and more of a pervasive threat to both private and public safety. In response, many companies are leveraging artificial intelligence technology to keep threats in check via surveillance monitoring and weapons detection. A report from Markets and Markets for instance, finds that global AI in the security market is projected to grow from $2.99 billion in 2016 to $34.81 billion in 2025 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.38 percent in the forecast period.

A recent article from Zacks.com, looking at AI in defense and police surveillance, outlined how global tech leader Google employed AI technology in its Maven drone project, established in 2017. Maven analyzes the copious amount of footage gathered by US drones by utilizing Google's TensorFlow AI technology and machine learning APIs.

VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp. (CSE:VSBY) (Frankfurt 5VS)  is a company that uses machine learning and computer vision to provide facial recognition and weapon detection capabilities. Recently joining the tech company portfolio of security firm Muller Group International (MGI), VSBLTY has extended its range to untapped markets.

Read this in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2019/defense/04081Stocks-WeaponDetection.asp

VSBLTY Co-Founder and CEO Jay Hutton said:

"With more and more so-called soft targets being attacked around the world, heightened security is needed virtually everywhere. In most instances, our face-on cameras provide better facial recognition than overhead CCTV cameras to enable faster, professional security responses to threats. With this partnership with MGI we are advancing the increasingly important ability to provide security where it has never been available before.”

Patriot One Technologies Inc. (TSXV:PAT) (OTCQX: PTOTF), developer of the award-winning PATSCAN covert weapon detection system, last year acquired AI-powered safety and surveillance company EhEye Inc. Regarding the acquisition, Patriot One CEO and President, Martin Cronin explained how EhEye’s video threat recognition software was a perfect fit for the company.

“Their award-winning threat recognition software will integrate into our client’s existing video camera networks offering a first line of defense to detect active shooters or terrorists approaching a venue with weapons drawn. It will also offer an additional layer of detection inside buildings to track threats and even identify irregular disturbances or physical altercations between individuals.”

An ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) article from earlier this year indicates how Patriot One addresses the problem of weapon detection through “a microwave radar scanner driven by artificial intelligence (AI) that can detect hidden weapons, along with a video surveillance component.” An excerpt from the article explains the technology:

“The Patriot One system works by beaming radio waves at individuals, which bounce off any guns concealed beneath their clothing or stashed in backpacks or other luggage. The system processes the radio waves that bounce back from an individual with AI software trained to recognize what a radio wave bouncing off a hidden gun. The system also incorporates AI video surveillance software component, which has been trained to identify guns in plain sight of video cameras.”

Elsewhere, precision-policing solutions provider ShotSpotter, Inc. (NasdaqCM:SSTI) detected over 107,000 gunfire incidents across the US in 2018. The company’s machine learning based classification system leverages the world’s largest audio database of gunshots and sounds that are similar to gunshots. Ralph Clark, president and CEO of ShotSpotter explains:

“ShotSpotter is in a unique position to track, analyze and share this comprehensive gunfire incident data to help cities across the country in their efforts to prevent and deter gun violence.”

In late 2018, ShotSpotter acquired HunchLab Technology, equipping its ShotSpotter Missions platform with AI-driven analysis capabilities that enhance predictive policing. William J. Bratton, former NYPD and LAPD Commissioner and current ShotSpotter Board Member commented:

“Precision-policing products represent a new era in law enforcement that will provide more specific and objective data to help prevent crime. I’ve seen the evolution of intelligence-based tools over the years and I think the combination of HunchLab with ShotSpotter will accelerate the maturation of the category and result in even greater value to police departments.”

So, with the ongoing threat of global terrorism or instances of simple armed robbery, weapons-based threats remain a constant risk for security systems and public safety around the world. And as with its penetration of many other industry verticals, AI is being leveraged in a variety of ways to keep those threats in check.

Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com “potcast” looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from experts and industry leaders.

Today we are looking at announcements from Dixie Brands Inc, Sunniva Inc, Aurora Cannabis Inc. Aphria Inc. and SOL Global Investments Corp.

Dixie Brands Inc.  (CSE: DIXI.U), (OTC: DXBRF), one of the cannabis industry's leading consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies, has announced plans to introduce a new confectionary product called Dixie Bursts™. The pulled taffy chews will be sold in assorted packages containing Blue Raspberry, Mango and Strawberry flavors. Each individually-wrapped Burst will contain 10 milligrams of THC.

"Dixie has been crafting quality infused-cannabis products for nearly a decade and is constantly seeking new ways to satisfy the evolving needs of our consumers who love to explore new flavors and formats," said Andrew Floor, Dixie's Vice President of Marketing. "We've had a phenomenal reaction to our latest innovation, Dixie Bursts, a hand-pulled taffy which is absolutely bursting with flavor and has a softer texture than the few comparable products in the market today."

         

Edibles are gaining popularity in jurisdictions where cannabis use is permitted, with sales growth rates outpacing those of dried flower. For example, according to BDS Analytics data for January 2019 in Colorado, one of the most mature cannabis markets in the U.S., sales of both flower and pre-rolled joints declined from one year earlier and now represent less than half of total sales.  Sales of ingestibles in the state increased by 17% over the same period, with the candy sub-category growing by 25%.

Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQB: SNNVF), a North American provider of cannabis products and services, announced preliminary revenue of $14.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.  This represents a 169% increase over the $5.2 million in revenue generated in the comparative three-month period from 2018.

In California, Sunniva began selling cannabis products in the first three months of 2019 through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CP Logistics, LLC with preliminary revenue of $10.0 million (USD $7.5 million). Revenue was comprised of product sales from premium flower, vape cartridges and concentrates. In March, Sunniva unveiled its first three in-house brands, Sun Fire, KYNDNESS and Herbella, and announced that additional super premium brands will be launched in conjunction with production from the 325,000 sq. ft. purpose-built greenhouse under construction in Cathedral City, California.

The Company's other wholly owned subsidiaries, Full-Scale Distributors, LLC and Natural Health Services Ltd., contributed first quarter 2019 revenue of $2.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

"In California, we now have the strategic pillars in place to ensure scalability and growth for our newly announced brands and we are very proud of our entire team for the execution and delivery of a very strong first quarter," said Dr. Anthony Holler, CEO of Sunniva. "Our $14.0 million in revenue during the first quarter is close to the total revenue generated by Sunniva in all of 2018. With strong leadership and operating assets producing premium cannabis products, supported by our recent distribution company acquisition, we continue to demonstrate our ability to achieve significant revenue growth and secure shelf space for our Sunniva brands throughout the state."

Aurora Cannabis Inc. (TSX: ACB) (NYSE: ACB), announced today that the Company has been selected by the German Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte BfArM (Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices) as one of three winners in the public tender to cultivate and distribute medical cannabis in Germany. The contract will be formalized at the earliest on April 17, 2019, pending the outcome of an appeal procedure on which a ruling is anticipated by April 10, 2019.

The tender saw 79 companies participating,  with the winners able to establish production in Germany upon the completion of the contract associated with the tender. The selection process was based on the submission of a concept for domestic cannabis production, delivery and pricing. Aurora's concept, judged on criteria such as facility design, quality, security and logistics, received the highest ranking out of all concepts submitted, validating the Company's leadership in integrated cultivation, production and delivery.

The Company was awarded the maximum number of 5 of the 13 lots in the tender over a period of four years with a minimum supply of 4000kg total. The cannabis produced will be sold to the German government and supplied to wholesalers for distribution to pharmacies.

Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA) (NYSE: APHA  is also entering the German market having announced that its German subsidiary Aphria Deutschland GmbH has been selected by the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices ("BfArM") to receive a license for the domestic cultivation of medical cannabis. The provisional decision announced by BfArM is subject to a mandatory 10-day standstill period for public contracts, which permits unsuccessful bidders to challenge the decision before the final contract is signed. BfArM's decision would grant Aphria 5 of the 13 available lots, each with a minimum annual capacity of 200 kg.

"Aphria is proud to have been selected as a successful applicant in the German tender process, a testament to our high production quality standards," said Hendrik Knopp, Managing Director of Aphria Germany. "The decision from BfArM is a validation of our strategic approach to supporting the German medical cannabis market, including with high-quality, domestic production to secure vital supply for patients. We are very pleased with our continued business momentum in Germany."

SOL Global Investments Corp. (CSE:SOL) (OTCQB:SOLCF),  announced that it intends to spin off its wholly-owned subsidiary, Scythian Biosciences Inc. ("SBI"), into an independent, publicly-traded company. Upon closing of the Spin-off, which is expected to occur on or before September 30, 2019, SOL shareholders will own shares of both companies.

In connection with the Spin-off, SBI will be renamed "Impact Biosciences Corp" ("Impact") and will continue to pursue a drug development in the United States for the treatment of concussions and traumatic brain injury with its proprietary Cannabinoid combination drug candidate, which is being developed under contract with the University of Miami. Impact's mission is to become the first accepted drug regimen for concussive treatment. Impact has a collaboration with the University of Miami and its world-renowned neuroscientific team to conduct pre-clinical and clinical trials of its drug regimen.

Impact's Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Combination Therapy is currently in the pre-clinical research phase and is undergoing animal testing. Upon completion of this pre-clinical phase and applicable IND enabling studies, Impact will prepare and file an investigational new drug ("IND") application with the FDA, which, if granted, would permit Impact to begin human testing. Impact has applied for two patents related to its TBI treatment strategy, involving the combination of multiple chemical pathways into a therapeutic regimen targeted at reducing post-injury inflammation and inhibiting the resultant gliosis and the immune cascade. Impact has found a unique way to apply several pre-existing drugs in a way not previously done to target these processes.
