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 thought leaders and experts.
Today we are looking at announcements from Zenabis Global Inc. (TSXV: ZENA), PharmaCielo Ltd. (TSXV:PCLO), Westleaf Inc. (TSX-V: WL), Delta 9 Cannabis Inc. (TSXV: NINE), Lifestyle Delivery Systems Inc. (CSE: LDS), (OTCQX: LDSYF) and Namaste Technologies Inc. (TSXV: N) (OTCMKTS: NXTTF).
Zenabis Global Inc. announced that on January 22, 2019, Zenabis completed the acquisition of 51% of Hillsboro Corp Inc. ("True Buch").
True Buch is a kombucha company with expertise in the creation of cultured tea beverages. True Buch cultured tea beverages are raw, unpasteurized, gluten free and non-GMO, with over 11 distinct flavours. Zenabis and True Buch intend to draw on each other's expertise to infuse cannabis into True Buch beverages when permitted under applicable laws and regulations, creating a cultured tea beverage CBD or THC product.
Zenabis has acquired 51% of True Buch in consideration of the issuance to the True Buch shareholders of 455,097 common shares of Zenabis. In addition to this closing payment, the True Buch shareholders are entitled to cash earn-out payments based on the future financial results of True Buch exceeding the forecast on which the closing payment was based.
Zenabis has the option, on or after the second anniversary of the date of the agreement, to purchase the remaining 49% of the equity in True Buch at eight times the EBITDA for the preceding 12 months payable in cash.
PharmaCielo Ltd., the Canadian parent of Colombia's premier cultivator and producer of medicinal-grade cannabis oil, PharmaCielo Colombia Holdings S.A.S., announced today its entry into the Mexican market through an equity joint venture with MINO Labs S.A. de C.V. ("MINO Labs"), a specialty pharmaceutical company and medical supply distributor based in Mexico, based on an agreement signed on January 25, 2019. The JV is called PharmaCielo S.A. de C.V. ("PharmaCielo Mexico").
The announcement marks a key milestone in PharmaCielo's plan to become a leading global exporter of high-quality medicinal-grade cannabis oils and derivative products. Cannabis oil delivery under the JV to the Mexican market is expected to commence in Q4 2019, subject to the JV and PharmaCielo obtaining the requisite registrations and licences. PharmaCielo's ability to carry out the contemplated business under the JV will be subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
"We are thrilled about the opportunity to join forces with MINO. Ultimately, our plan is to bring our high-quality cannabis oils to Mexico," says David Attard, Chief Executive Officer of PharmaCielo. "Our premium quality oils are extracted from proprietary strains of dried flower at flower cost levels below $0.05 per gram. This enables us to focus our efforts and financial investment on the creation of the highest-quality oil-based health and wellness products, which when combined with the expertise of Mino Labs, will enable the JV to participate in the advancement of the medicinal cannabis industry in Mexico."
Westleaf Inc. announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Delta 9 Cannabis Inc.'s 50% interest in the Delta West extraction facility, bringing Westleaf's total ownership to 100%. Under the Definitive Agreement, Westleaf has agreed to issue an aggregate of 5,600,000 common shares in the capital of Westleaf in consideration for the acquisition of Delta 9's 50% interest in the project. Closing is expected to occur on or about January 31, 2019.
The Delta West facility is approximately 60,000 square feet with Phase I (~15,000 sq. ft.) to include R&D, processing, extraction, manufacturing and order fulfillment, all built to EU GMP specifications with the intent to access international export markets. Phase II of the facility is designed to produce new derivative product lines in preparation of Health Canada's legalization of derivative products, expected to occur on October 17, 2019. The Delta West facility is scheduled to open in the summer of 2019.
"This transaction is another step in the direction of becoming a significant vertically integrated player in the Canadian cannabis industry," said Scott Hurd, President and CEO of Westleaf. "It is our view that over time, a diversified offering of derivative cannabis products will account for the majority of consumer demand. We are positioning to formulate unique, high quality derivative products and leverage our expertise in building and running these types of facilities." Hurd refers to the senior management team at Westleaf who have combined, designed, built and operated multiple cultivation and extraction facilities in Canada and in U.S. where medicinal or recreational cannabis has been legalized.
Lifestyle Delivery Systems Inc. announced that its subsidiary, CSPA Group, Inc., received a purchase order from lbs. Distribution for distribution of CannaStripsTM into the California cannabis market.
CSPA Group will fill the order for its flagship product, CannaStripsTM, this week. The CannaStripsTM batch has already passed state certification testing and is ready for delivery. Each package will contain ten (10) individually-sealed strips.
CSPA Group's marketing director, Casey Fenwick, stated, "With the extensive network of 120+ licensed retailers throughout California, we are certain that our engagement with lbs. Distribution will increase CannaStripsTM availability to a broader audience, doing so in a legal and professional manner. We are confident that the convenience, efficacy, and affordability of CannaStripsTM will be a market disruptor."
Namaste Technologies Inc. reported on a critical step in the export of medicinal cannabis from Israel and its significance to the Company and its Israeli partner, Cannbit Ltd.
The Israeli government has approved the export of medical cannabis, a significant milestone for the Company and its Israeli partner, Cannbit, as a late-stage applicant, GMP-certified producer of medical cannabis which is publicly listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The Company owns 10% of Cannbit, has a collaboration and supply agreement to purchase medical cannabis, and a Collaboration Agreement whereby Cannbit consults with the Company in relation to Namaste's Israeli operations. For Namaste, the Company intends on facilitating the import of medical cannabis from the Israeli market to Canada and other jurisdictions, subject to regulatory approvals as required, and adding Cannbit's cannabis to Cannmart's product line later this year.
"This is an important milestone for our Israeli partners, Cannbit, and our Cannmart customers," said Sean Dollinger, Co-Founder, President and CEO of Namaste Technologies. "Our goal is to import medical cannabis from the Israeli market and offer it to Canadian patients. Furthermore, this approval opens the door for Namaste to potentially import product into other key markets."

Market Tumbles, South Korean Exchanges Join to Combat Money Laundering, Kik to Fight SEC, Iran Close to CBDC and Belarusbank Considering Crypto Exchange

As the week begins data from CoinMarketCap indicates that the crypto market has lost around $7 billion USD since Sunday. This puts the total market cap at $112 billion at press time. Consequently, most of the top 100 coins listed by market cap are in the red. Bitcoin (BTC) has remained fairly stable, only down 3.7 percent and trading for $3457. The next biggest coins by market cap, XRP and Ether (ETH), lost 6.7 percent and 9.3 percent, respectively.
CoinDesk reports that four cryptocurrency exchanges in South Korea - Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit and Upbit - have partnered to combat money laundering. The four companies are joining to create a hotline to share real-time wallet information on suspicious crypto trades. According to the report: "The exchanges will also operate a shared database of suspicious wallet addresses that would, for example, be able to help them identify and halt scammers looking to use different exchanges to move a large quantity of cryptocurrency to the same wallet."
Messaging app company Kik is "fighting" the SEC, according to founder and CEO Ted Livingston in a Medium post yesterday. Believing the SEC will bring a case against Kik for the ICO of their Kin currency, Livingston cites page 11 of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act - the act that created the SEC - that the definition of a security "shall not include currency." Livingston said:
This situation is not unique to Kik. There are dozens of projects at a similar point with the SEC. We all believe that this industry needs regulation, but we also believe that this is not the way to get it.
Al Jazeera reports that Iran is close to unveiling a central bank-issued digital currency (CBDC) in response to persistent US sanctions. The cryptocurrency is expected to be officially announced at the annual two-day Electronic Banking and Payment Systems conference on January 29 in Tehran. The theme for the conference this year is "blockchain revolution".
Belarusbank, the largest bank in Belarus, may be setting up its own cryptocurrency exchange, according to a report from local outlet BelTA. The chairman of the bank's board, Viktor Ananich, discussed the possibility on Belarusian TV saying:
"Digitalization-related projects will be virtually exclusive in nature. However, at present things are changing very fast and we need to keep up with them."

AI in Telecommunications CAGR Projected at 47% From 2029-2023

Market research firm Technavio recently published a report analyzing the Global Artificial Intelligence Market in the Telecommunication Industry. The research finds that in the forecast period of 2019-2023, the AI in telecommunications market will see a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 47 percent. An excerpt from a summary of the market drivers reads:
Predictive maintenance is key to enhancing telecommunications equipment performance and reducing costs. AI systems allow for more accurate predictions, collecting and analyzing data from multiple sources in order to predict equipment failure before it occurs. This allows telecom companies to minimize downtime and improve effectiveness. It is particularly helpful for mobile towers, providing surveillance to structures that are difficult to access.
Another application of AI in telecommunication services is customer service. Telecom companies serve millions of people every day, making customer service both a challenge and an essential part of doing business. AI applications can help automate inquiries and route consumers to the right service agent. Email bots and chatbots both help reduce the load on human agents, allowing them to spend more time helping customers. These factors will help drive artificial intelligence market growth in the telecom industry.
