Today’s podcast overview/transcript:
Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com “potcasts”, looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

In today’s podcast I look at a few of the day’s earlier announcements.

But first, in Washington, Gov. Jay Inslee recently signed a new law into effect which allows parents in Washington the ability to medicate their children with marijuana on school grounds.

House Bill 1095 only recognizes the application of certain products containing cannabinoids, such as oils and creams, which have a THC concentration of 0.3 percent or less and specifies a small number of medical conditions which a student must have in order to receive such treatment.
The new law, which will go into effect on July 30, is now being reviewed by the Washington State School Directors Association (WASDA), who is working to draft a complete set of policies and procedures for every school district in the state to follow - a common practice regarding most new statutes involving Washington’s public education system.

Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX-V: OGI) (OTCQX: OGRMF), the parent company of Organigram Inc., a leading licensed producer of cannabis, announced that its common shares will commence trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "OGI" on Tuesday May 21, 2019. Organigram's common shares will continue to be listed and trade on the Toronto Venture Exchange (TSXV), also under the symbol "OGI". The Company's common shares will continue to trade on the OTCQX under the symbol "OGRMF" until market close on May 20, 2019. 

In conjunction with this Nasdaq listing, Organigram's common shares will become DWAC/FAST eligible for U.S. shareholders.

"We are pleased to celebrate this significant company milestone," says Greg Engel, CEO, Organigram. "We are proud to have assembled a world-class team and facility that continues to deliver value to our shareholders. This listing will help us continue to demonstrate our commitment to dynamic growth."

Micron Waste Technologies Inc. (CSE: MWM) (OTC: MICWF), a leading developer of waste treatment systems for food and cannabis waste, has been awarded United States Patent and Trade Office (USPTO) intellectual property protection for its commercial organic waste digester unit. Micron's Application No.: 29/644,928 sought and won recognition for leading innovative technological features which enable the digester to efficiently process food and cannabis waste on a commercial scale. Micron's digester hardware is also protected by an Industrial Design Certificate of Registration from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO).

The digester is integral to Micron's Organivore™ food waste processing system and Micron's Cannavore™ system, the first purpose-built green technology developed for the rapidly-growing cannabis industry.

"We are especially proud to have been awarded two US patents within the past six months – one for our innovative biotechnology formula for waste treatment - and now a second for our hardware," said Micron Chief Technology Officer Dr. Bob Bhushan. "Our innovations allow Micron to deliver solutions to process waste compliantly from several target sectors – food processing; cannabis cultivation; beer, wine and spirits; and other industries that generate organic waste."

Emerald Health Therapeutics, Inc. (TSXV: EMH) (OTCQX: EMHTFhas shipped 6,000 40 ml units of its SYNC 25 CBD oil to the British Columbia Liquor Distribution Branch (BCLDB). The Emerald-branded pure CBD oil offers consumers a non-THC, smoke-free product alternative.

“We are pleased to offer our new Emerald-branded wellness product SYNC 25 to the recreational marketplace in British Columbia,” said Dr. Avtar Dhillon, President and Executive Chairman of Emerald. “The introduction of SYNC 25 marks the next step in our product growth strategy to develop innovative and quality consumer products that respond to a growing demand while providing higher profit margins.”

The SYNC 25 CBD oil product was extracted by MediPharm Labs Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSXV: LABS) (OTCQX: MEDIF).

“Emerald’s success in bringing products to the market that address the significant consumer demand for CBD demonstrates how MediPharm Labs’ specialized expertise in extraction empowers our partner brands with an advanced oil strategy and a competitive advantage,” said Pat McCutcheon, Chief Executive Officer of MediPharm Labs. “We look forward to providing high-quality, pharmaceutical-like cannabis concentrates as Emerald expands on its product growth strategy in the future.”

May 17 Crypto Corner

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:AMZN)

The crypto market has seen a significant correction as we head into another weekend. Virtually all of the top 100 coins listed by market cap are in the red. Data from CoinMarketCap indicates that Bitcoin (BTC) bottomed out this morning at just under $7100, but CCN puts the figure as low as $6400. Major altcoins such as Ether (ETH), XRP and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) have sustained 24 hour losses around 10 percent.

The sudden drop in the market seems to have been triggered by a 5,000 BTC sell order on Bitstamp. Three Arrows Capital CEO Su Zhu, who spoke to CCN following the $35 million BTC dump, believes the market will recover promptly:

“This is a purely market structure related move, I expect it to be bought up extremely quickly.”

Amazon (NasdaqGS:AMZN) has been awarded a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a project that would allow the company to generate Merkle trees as a proof-of-work solution. Merkle trees are a data structure variation that is adjacent to blockchain technology, and any intentions the company may have with regard to blockchain remains ambiguous.

The Block reports that crypto exchange giant Coinbase is in talks to acquire crypto custody provider Xapo for $50 million. Xapo, which provides cold storage vault custody of bitcoin, is rumoured to have as much as $5.5 billion of assets under custody. An excerpt from the article reads:

The addition of several billion of AUC [assets under custody] would be a huge shot in the arm for Coinbase. Under Xapo’s current business model, customers are not charged for storing their bitcoin. Rather, they generate revenue by enabling over-the-counter (OTC) trades for customers using the bitcoin under custody.

The Economic Times reports that tech lobby groups are pressuring India’s central bank to recognize crypto startups in its regulatory sandbox for fintech. IT industry representative NASSCOM commented:

“Since cryptocoins and tokens are an important component of the blockchain technology, the draft regulations appear to exclude testing of smart contracts and other approved blockchain technology under the sandbox. The decision to keep cryptocurrencies, trading of cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings out of the purview of the regulatory sandbox is still not clear.”

Industry Leaders Diving into #Cleantech and Smart #Energy Solutions; Smaller Companies to Directly Benefit: (OTCQB: $CLSK) (NASDAQ: $ENPH) (TSXV: $QST.V) (TSXV: $UGE.V)


Industry Leaders Diving into #Cleantech and Smart #Energy Solutions; Smaller Companies to Directly Benefit: (OTCQB: $CLSK) (NASDAQ: $ENPH) (TSXV: $QST.V) (TSXV: $UGE.V)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - May 17, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, one of the first investor news resources covering renewable energy stocks releases a sector snapshot reporting on the surge in cleantech and smart energy technology driven by industry leaders now willing to bet heavily with investing and spending in the sector.

Google, Facebook, General Motors and Walmart, along with over 300 other companies, recently announced the launch of the Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA), which will be the largest group of corporate renewable energy buyers in the United States. By working to unlock the marketplace for organizations to buy renewable energy, REBA hopes to bring more than 60 gigawatts of new renewables online in the United States by 2025.


"Every enterprise - whether it's a bakery, a big-box retailer, or a data center - should have an easy and direct path to buy clean energy. Ultimately, sourcing clean energy should be as simple as clicking a button," said Michael Terrell, head of Energy Market Strategy, Google, and REBA's first Board Chair.

"Today's REBA launch demonstrates that large energy buyers from across every sector are committed to doing their part to solve this problem," said Rob Threlkeld, Global Manager, Sustainable Energy/Supply Reliability at General Motors.

This development has helped spark a spending surge in the sector and smaller companies offering solutions are directly benefiting from the revenue flow.

CleanSpark, Inc. (OTCQB: CLSK), a microgrid company with advanced engineering, software and controls for innovative distributed energy resource (DER) and microgrid deployments recently announced that it has secured $2.5 million in orders for its intelligent automatic transfer switch (ATS) switchgear. The Company's Intelligent ATS switchgear is used to automatically transfer power supply from its primary source to a backup source when it senses a failure or outage in the primary source, thus ensuring uninterrupted power. It also allows the end-user the opportunity to participate in regional energy markets when it makes financial sense to sell surplus power back to the grid.

CleanSpark's new order is to a current customer that provides back-up power solutions and microgrids to its clients.  The end user of the Company's intelligent ATS switchgear from this order is a regional grocer located in the state of Texas.  In addition to the $2.5 million order, this week the Company also shipped the first units of a limited trial contract for an order of its intelligent ATS switchgear for end use by one of the nation's largest retailers, with over 6,300 stores in the US.  If successful, this trial could result in a significant number of additional units during the next couple of years.

"Our continued order wins are the result of the high quality of our products and the close relationships that we have with our customers.  This new order will provide improved visibility in upcoming quarters and contribute to our strong growth outlook," said CEO of CleanSpark, Matthew Schultz.

Mr. Schultz continued, "We are particularly excited about the trial that is taking place with a large national retailer and are optimistic of a successful outcome.  If successful, this would result in very significant orders having a positive impact on our business for the next several years.  As grid related power outages become disruptive to business operations, we think the need for backup power sources will drive increased demand for our products."


Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQGM: ENPH), a global energy technology company and the world’s leading supplier of solar microinverters recently announced their financial results for the first quarter of 2019, which included a summary from its President and CEO, Badri Kothandaraman.

He commented on the company’s financial results saying, “Our first quarter revenue was $100.2 million, an increase of 9% sequentially and an increase of 43% year-over year. We shipped approximately 306 megawatts DC, or 976,410 microinverters and we continued to see strong demand across the board from our customers, overcoming the typical first quarter seasonality in the solar industry.”

On April 15, 2019, the company also announced that over 2,500 homeowners have joined the Enphase Upgrade Program, a service program that gives homeowners several options for upgrading to the latest, more efficient and reliable micro inverter technology from Enphase. This program is for warranty holders of legacy Enphase microinverters and represents the Company’s commitment to quality and service. Participation is entirely voluntary, and Enphase continues to stand by the warranties for its products in the field.

Questor Technology Inc. (TSX-V: QST) also announced its financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2019.
Audrey Mascarenhas, President and Chief Executive Officer of Questor commented, “The Questor team delivered strong results for Q1 2019 with the highest quarterly revenue, profit and earnings per share in the Company’s history. Our first quarter 2019 revenue grew by 29% to $7.7 MM compared to the same period from 2018. This is a direct result of our top performing emissions control technology that is being recognized for its 99.99% efficiency, superior technical and field support, sales initiatives to secure longer-term rental contracts and the recognition of revenue from the incineration and heat to power project recently awarded in Mexico.”

“The strong performance in the first quarter of 2019 is a result of great effort by the Company to secure contracts and to continually succeed in accessing new markets. The combination of an increased sales contribution and the Company securing longer-term rental contracts with rate-based incentives has resulted in an 11% increase in gross profit over the same 3-month period in 2018. The Company continues to pursue areas for our rental incineration which has been critical to the penetration and success in North Dakota and to our initial entry into Texas, Wyoming and New Mexico. We are targeting spending between $7-10 million this year on the rental fleet to support our continued growth. The Company has managed to secure 40% of the rental fleet on rate-incentive based longer-term contracts that has allowed for efficient planning within our Operations while solidifying a predictable outlook of growing activity,” Mascarenhas continued.
UGE International Ltd. (TSX-V: UGE) (OTCQB: UGEIF), a leader in solar solutions for the commercial and industrial sector recently announced several project updates in Canada and the USA.

In Canada, UGE reached substantial completion on the last four sites of its Peterborough portfolio earlier this month, meaning that the full 15-site, 9MW portfolio is now operational. The portfolio is the Company's largest to date.

"Building solar projects in Ontario in the winter is a significant challenge and we are very thankful to both the UGE project team and the Peterborough Utilities team for their dedication and perseverance," stated Robert van Duynhoven, President of UGE Canada. "The team leveraged our years of experience to work through every obstacle faced, performing exceptionally throughout."

In addition, UGE's engineering and consulting subsidiary, UGE Consulting Services Co, Ltd. has been awarded a phase one contract to study the feasibility of microgrids in Burkina Faso, as well as a maintenance contract for a previously installed commercial solar project in Ontario. In both cases contract values were below $100,000, but above the Company's 23% gross margin target, with work to be completed in the coming months.

In Minnesota, UGE achieved final completion on two of the last three projects in its four-site school’s portfolio that was acquired as part of the CSPC acquisition. The final site, which is the portfolios smallest, is expected to achieve its final completion within the next four weeks. In addition, UGE announced that its 3.1MW project in the northeast US with a previously unnamed client, is with Con Edison, the New York City-based utility, and they will be providing further updates as the project progresses.

"UGE is excited to start several new chapters in 2019, as past EPC portfolios are wrapped up and new projects in our US and Philippines markets kick off," said UGE's CEO, Nick Blitterswyk. "This year we expect to build a record number of projects in both markets where we focus on self-developed opportunities."

With the help of REBA, smaller renewable energy companies have a chance to begin to overtake the crude energy sectors, especially as rising grid costs, energy costs and oil prices continue to be a serious issue for any large scale company.
