Published

on

GREAT BASIN SCIENT COM USD0.0001(POST SPLIT)(OTCMKTS:GBSN) has been trading well since the reverse split affected on December 14 of last year. The stock popped big in anticipation of the split but dropped right back down to pre split levels (split adjusted)

GBSN is an exciting story in small caps that would be trading for a lot more if it was not for the massive dilution that has been hampering this one for months. GBSN is sitting on some valuable technology; the Company’s breakthrough approach to molecular diagnostics provides fast, cost-effective diagnosis of infectious diseases. The simple test deliver more diagnostic data per sample, meaning healthcare providers are able to treat patients with the right medication sooner, greatly improving outcomes and significantly reducing costs.

On May 12 GBSN reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016. Total revenues for the first quarter of 2016 were $731,422, compared to $458,730 for the same period in 2015, representing an increase of 59.4%. Continued growth in Great Basin’s customer base as well as adoption of its Group B Strep assay drove the year-over-year increase.

Great Basin ended the first quarter of 2016 with 222 U.S. customers, compared to 101 customers for the first quarter ending March 31, 2015, representing an increase of 119.8%.

Operating expenses were $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2016, as compared to $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2015. Research and development expenses increased by $0.8 million over the first quarter of 2015 to $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to increased clinical and regulatory activities related to our Staph ID/R Blood Culture Panel and Shiga Toxin Direct Test and ongoing pipeline development.

GBSN recently received  510(k) clearance from the FDA for its Shiga Toxin Direct Test as well as its Staph ID/R Blood Culture Panel received 510(k) clearance by the FDA;

In September GBSN announced the U.S. and European commercial launch of its Staph ID/R Blood Culture Panel, the Company’s first multiplex panel. This sample-to-result, automated panel benefits hospitals and laboratories by detecting, in about two hours, bloodstream infections caused by MRSA and other Staphylococcus species, enabling accurate, timely, and cost-effective diagnosis and treatment of patients. The panel detects the mecA gene, a major drug resistance marker that confers resistance to methicillin and other beta-lactams and creates the superbug MRSA.

On April 12 GBSN announced it has received CE Marking for its Stool Bacterial Pathogens Panel. This is the Company’s fifth assay and second multiplex panel to receive CE Marking designation under the European Directive on In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices, which extends the availability of the Company’s panels to facilities across 32 countries in the European Union and Great Britain. The Company previously announced 510(k) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the Stool Bacterial Pathogens Panel on December 19, 2016 and is awaiting clearance to sell the panel domestically.

“We are pleased with our progress in commercializing this panel, and are excited to be able to offer it in Great Britain and the EU,” said Sandra Nielsen, senior vice president of sales and marketing of Great Basin Scientific. “We are especially encouraged by the interest from our U.S. customers, many of whom have chosen to evaluate the product under IUO labeling which will facilitate the completion of their required evaluation and validation process in advance of our expected FDA clearance. This early validation will allow sites to begin using the panel for live patient testing as soon as we receive expected FDA clearance and will accelerate their timeline for providing better patient diagnosis. We believe this unusual step many of our customers have taken is a testament to our ‘just-right’ sized approach to building syndromic panels.”

The Company’s Stool Bacterial Pathogens Panel is designed to simultaneously detect Salmonella species, Shigella species, Shiga Toxin-producing E. coli (stx1, stx 2, O157 serotype-specific genes), and Campylobacter species (C. jejuni and C. coli), key bacterial pathogens the Company believes better supports customer needs with an easy-to-use workflow of less than two minutes hands-on steps, and a turnaround time of under two hours, compared to conventional tests that are labor intensive, requiring multiple individual tests with poor sensitivity and long turnaround times (96 hours).

Currently trading in the double zeros GBSN would be skyrocketing up the charts if it was not for the toxic financing that has been going on here resulting in massive dilution and 2 reverse stock splits in the last 10 month.

Clean Vision Corp (OTC: CLNV): Overcoming the Plastic Waste Crisis

Published

on

Clean Vision Corporation (OTC: CLNV) has experienced several interesting developments recently, but it hasn’t noticeably influenced the market with any substantial gains. Nonetheless, we believe it’s worth providing an update on the company given it’s been a few months since our last mention. In today’s discussion, we’ll explore a variety of updates and their significance, with aim of providing insight on what to expect for 2024.

Background:

Clean Vision is led by Dan Bates, and their goal is to tackle the global plastic waste crisis head-on. Their wholly owned subsidiary, Clean Seas, has developed the Plastic Conversion Network (PCN), a groundbreaking technology aimed at diverting millions of tons of waste plastic from landfills, incineration, and oceans. The PCN converts this plastic feedstock into clean fuels and green hydrogen, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering the carbon footprint.

For a brief 2 minute overview on the company, feel free to reference the video CLNV’s subsidiary put together on YouTube. Here’s the link.

Clean Seas utilizes proven pyrolysis technology to produce environmentally friendly products, which are sold to multinational petrochemical companies, driving the circular plastic economy. Operational PCN facilities are already in place in Morocco and India, with additional conversion facilities in development across West Virginia, Arizona, and Southeast Asia. Long-term feedstock supply agreements exceeding one million tons of waste plastic annually have been secured at no cost.

Their recently trademarked brand, AquaH®, is produced in their PCN. According to the release, it offers a differentiated green hydrogen product from carbon-neutral sources. Currently, hydrogen is predominantly produced through methods that involve fossil fuels, which of course contributes to global carbon emissions. Furthermore according to Deloitte’s 2023 global green hydrogen outlook, this could be a $1.4T annual market by 2050.

$65 Million Plastic Conversion Facility:

CLNV is making big moves in West Virginia and according to the release on October 24th, 2023, they’ve brought in some serious players—CDI Engineering Solutions and ERM—to help out with their Clean-Seas West Virginia project.

CDI has over 70 years of experience integrating engineering, design, project support, procurement and construction management services to the energy, chemicals and electrical infrastructure markets.

ERM is the world’s largest advisory firm focused solely on sustainability, offering environmental, health, safety, risk and social expertise for more than 50 years with more than 8,500 dedicated professionals operating across 40 countries.

The plan is to kick things off in 2024, turning 100 tons of plastic every day into recycled plastics and clean fuels. It’s a hefty project with a $65 million investment, creating over 200 jobs initially. And they’re not stopping there—they want to scale up to 500 tons of plastic per day over time.

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice is also on board, throwing over $12 million in state incentives to support the project.

Governor Jim Justice made a reference to Clean Seas in his state of the union address. If you want to catch the mention, go to 34:15 in the video. The three minutes leading up to it are also worth reviewing.

Launches Global Operations:

CLNV made another significant advancement, planning to launch waste plastic conversion facilities in the European Union, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia. This will be accomplished through their new subsidiary, Clean-Seas Partners UK Limited (CS-UK), who of course shares the same vision of creating sustainable solutions to the global plastic pollution crisis.

Under the leadership of Managing Director Shaun Wootton, CS-UK will play a crucial role in strategic project development and investment facilitation, leveraging established relationships in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

To fortify effective governance and strategic direction, CS-UK is assembling a distinguished board with internationally recognized figures in banking, sustainability, and energy. This approach aims to have a diverse and experienced board guiding CS-UK in realizing its vision of promoting sustainability and environmental stewardship across diverse regions.

$340 Million Bond Offering:

CLNV even announced they partnered with a global advisory firm, Grant Thornton, to issue up to $340 million in Green Bonds. This is the world’s sixth-largest network of independent accounting and consulting firms, employing 62,000 people in more than 130 countries and had revenues of $6.6 billion in 2021. These bonds will fund the expansion of Clean Vision’s Plastic Conversion Network (PCN) under the “Clean-Seas” initiative worldwide, aimed at combatting plastic pollution on a global scale.

With the Green Bond’s net proceeds, CLNV plans to deploy at least six plastic waste conversion lines globally, with strategic locations in West Virginia, Arizona, Southeast Asia, and expansion in Morocco. The Green Bond is also expected to attract environmentally conscious investors, setting a new standard for corporate responsibility.

$15M Government Loan:

Lastly, under the capable management of Huntington Bank, CLNV has recently secured a $15 million government loan. What sets this apart is that the loan is FORGIVABLE.

A forgivable loan is a type of loan where the borrower is not required to repay the borrowed amount under certain conditions. Typically, these conditions are related to the borrower meeting specific criteria, such as using the funds for approved purposes, maintaining certain employment levels, or achieving predetermined goals. If the borrower fulfills these conditions, the loan is forgiven, and they are not obligated to repay the borrowed amount. Forgivable loans are often used as an incentive or support for specific activities, such as job creation, small business development, or other initiatives that contribute to economic growth or community welfare.

Not to mention it won’t result in any dilution for shareholders. This is an unexpected and uncommon accomplishment for an OTC company. Securing a government loan of this size without any dilution is truly impressive.

Conclusion:

CLNV has made impressive strides tackling the global plastic waste crisis, especially given their valuation of merely $22.65 million. The team has swiftly achieved key objectives, including a $65 million plastic conversion facility in West Virginia, global expansion through Clean-Seas Partners UK Limited, a $340 million Green Bond Offering, and a remarkable $15 million forgivable government loan. The vast $1.4 trillion market they’re tapping into offers an interesting opportunity with current indicators looking positive. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to acknowledge that there is still significant work ahead, and the team needs to maintain consistent execution to turn this potential into a reality.

Meta Materials (NASDAQ: MMAT): More Due Diligence and Exploring Latest Developments

Published

on

Meta Materials (NASDAQ: MMAT) witnessed a significant uptick in trading activity on January 16th, 2024, resulting in a notable 20% increase in its stock value by market close. Intrigued by this surge, we explored various sources, including press releases, SEC filings, and social media, to identify the catalyst behind this sudden gain.

Unexpectedly our research revealed no recent material releases. Instead, the surge seems tied to an announcement from a few days ago that didn’t grab much attention at first. As time passed, it started generating more buzz but there’s still a lot more to dig into and a number of ideas to consider for today’s rally.

If you haven’t caught up on our previous analyses of MMAT, you can find the overview here. In this report, we aim to explore the cause-and-effect dynamics of recent events, offering insights that might illuminate expectations for Meta Materials in the near future.

Background:

If you’re new to MMAT or haven’t been a long-time follower, let’s kick things off with a quick intro to the company.

Meta Materials stands at the forefront of advanced materials and nanotechnology. Their focus is on pioneering novel products and technologies utilizing sustainable and innovative scientific approaches. The interesting part is their advanced materials have the transformative power to enhance a variety of common products, infusing them with heightened intelligence and sustainability.

Leveraging its technology platforms, they’re capable of empowering global brands in creating cutting-edge products that elevate overall performance.

Their technology has application across multiple industries including aerospace and defense, consumer electronics, 5G communications, batteries, authentication, automotive, and clean energy. Their agreement with Panasonic is certainly a great start to empowering their growth in one of many verticals. Overall the TAM is ~$32B and with current growth rates, it’ll increase to a whopping ~$61B by 2026.

MMAT’s goal is to shape a smarter and more sustainable world. If you look through their presentation, you can continue to evaluate the many ways their technology transforms everyday lives. We highly suggest you take a look.

What Happened:

So, MMAT issued a press release on January  11th, 2024, announcing a proposed settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) concerning an investigation related to the Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc. and Metamaterial Inc. merger.

According to the release, The company has extended a settlement offer (Proposed SEC Settlement) to the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. This proposed settlement aims to address concerns regarding antifraud, reporting, books and records, and internal accounting control provisions of securities laws. It is important to note that the Proposed SEC Settlement is contingent on approval by the SEC Commissioners, and the company cannot predict the approval timeline.

If accepted, the Proposed SEC Settlement would involve the SEC entering a cease-and-desist order and the company paying a civil money penalty of $1 million over a one-year period in four installments. Notably, the company would neither admit nor deny the findings outlined in the Order.

The company’s board of directors and management team view the Proposed SEC Settlement as beneficial for shareholders. If approved, it is expected to remove uncertainty surrounding the investigation, enabling the company to focus on advancing its business objectives.

So What:

If you’ve just read through the announcement and are confused, you’re not alone. It appears that many investors may have mis-read the press release, thinking that the SEC was being punished and MMAT was reaching a settlement agreement, but it appears to be the other way around.

In the event of approval, the company is obligated to pay a civil money penalty of $1 million. This penalty would be paid in four installments over the course of one year, following an agreed-upon payment plan. However, the PR also notes that the company cannot predict with certainty whether or when the Proposed SEC Settlement will even be approved by the SEC Commissioners.

According to another user on X, @AShortSqueeze, MMAT’s initial analysis has potentially revealed the motherload of counterfeit shares.

But if you scroll through the comments, you’ll see other users pointing out that this information is actually old news. This is just one of many widely circulated posts that might have been misunderstood.

Significant Coverage:

Another theory suggests that a notable influencer in the financial space, @MoonMarket_, has set their sights on the company and is conducting additional due diligence. With a substantial following of almost 75K users, the influencer’s involvement could have contributed to a significant fluctuation in today’s trading session. It’s important to recognize that X is packed with plenty of financial influencers, and blindly following their moves can be risky. Many are involved in day trades, momentum trading, or at least contemplating such strategies.

Conclusion:

The buzz around MMAT today seems fuelled by a mix of misrepresented themes and recycled news, creating the illusion of fresh, imminent developments.

As per usual, the magnitude of MMAT’s technology and potential integrations across various verticals continues to create a roar of excitement. On another front, we’re also continuing to see speculation about a short squeeze due to substantial amounts of counterfeit shares.

For now, patience is key and we suggest closely monitoring developments. MMAT especially tends to be quite volatile.

Integrated Cannabis Solutions’ (OTC: IGPK) 633% Surge: Exploring Catalysts, Company Overview, and Growth Potential in 2024

Published

on

Integrated Cannabis Solutions (OTC: IGPK) has undergone a remarkable uptrend, surging an impressive 633% since December 11th, 2023, with 166% of that surge taking place across yesterday’s trading session and today, January 11th, 2023. Both days have been marked by unprecedented volume – Yahoo Finance reported an almost 30x increase, with 115,867,027 shares traded by close yesterday. We’re already seeing 90,092,317 shares traded this morning and it’s just barely noon. Today we’ll explore the catalysts behind the surge, offer a comprehensive overview of the company, and evaluate IGPK’s potential for sustained growth throughout 2024.

Background:

Let’s get straight to it. IGPK is the result of a recent reverse merger with Integrated Cannabis Solutions and JFH Digital E-Commerce Corp. The first thing you’ll notice is finding the website isn’t a walk in the park, we’re fairly certain there isn’t one yet, at least one that will help in any way related to more investment information. Your best bet for more any information is to check out IGPK’s OTC Market page for details, but even the company description on there is not accurate. We’ve mainly found the following information through filings, IGPK’s Twitter, and other online users.

Keep in mind this breakdown might not be flawless given we’re piecing it together mostly from what folks on X are saying. But we’ll try our absolute best to lay it all out for you.

IGPK appears to have been a shell for little while until JFH stepped in. A user on X, @stockplayer30, broke it down fairly simply, stating that the shell’s slate was wiped clean, cancelling all notes payable and any debt. Whether it’s a promissory note, convertible note, or convertible debenture, the main point is they ditched all debt. JFH has an opportunity to start fresh, and it certainly makes this deal a lot more interesting.

Just a heads up, it’s a Chinese merger. If the idea of a Chinese leadership team makes you a bit wary, you might want to pause here. However if you were in the trading game during the summer of ’23, you probably remember those crazy spikes in some Chinese Nasdaq deals. And get this – no big press releases or SEC filings to explain those sudden jumps either.

Company Description:

Onto what the company actually does. According to @SuperRobotOTC on X, this is a digital e-commerce company based in China, here’s a link to their e-commerce website. This user also put together a great overview of the company on YouTube, if you’d like to watch something informative in video format, click here.

Another user, @igal_n, found a blurb on the company that states, “Junfenghuang (JFH) is a digital asset. It is a token issued by Uplus Future Company with the help of blockchain technology. It has no direct relationship with the original equity”.

The Potential:

What makes this story extremely interesting is the sheer magnitude of how large JFH is, the intrinsic value does not appear to be valued accurately in the market, given it’s only freshly merged into IGPK’s tiny shell company on the OTC.

Their Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) is heading north of 50 billion yuan, and post-merger profits from service outlets are looking at a hefty 10 billion yuan – yes, billion with a B.

Steering the ship is a leadership team featuring President Wang Dejun, Treasurer Xie Weiji, and Director Yang Lanfang. With a whopping 750 subsidiaries, 250,000 merchants, and 30 million registered users. We’ve also heard from other sources that the registered users could be nearly double that, coming in at 50 million registered users.

These numbers are substantial for a company with a $7 million market cap. Looking ahead, it won’t be shocking if IGPK sets its sights on moving up to a bigger exchange like NASDAQ. It’s no secret they’re already in the big leagues – or it at least appears so. If that were the case, they’d of course have enhanced credibility, more visibility, and increased access to capital with institutional funding.

The App:

Now, you might be wondering, “Sounds cool, but it’s a Chinese merger with a whole setup on the other side of the planet. Can we trust this info?” @SuperRobotOTC has also gone the extra mile by downloading the app, and gave us the lowdown in video format. On top of the SEC filings, this is an added layer of trust & credibility we can attribute to this new venture. Here’s the link to the video.

Conclusion:

Fortunately it appears IGPK is still for the most part flying under the radar. There’s not even a proper website or accurate update on IGPK’s OTC Market overview to tell us what the company even entails. But here’s the silver lining – that might mean you’re still early. The intrinsic value of IGPK appears strongly disproportionate to its current value in the market.

Our advice? Keep a close eye on IGPK’s journey as it takes on this exciting phase of growth and exploration. It’s likely this story will catch wind quickly and it could be a great time to take advantage. As @SuperRobotOTC eluded to in his video, this could be the OTC’s largest merger, with a potential $70B valuation.
