The dawn of the psychedelics industry could not have come at a more needed time for humanity, as global events have served to exacerbate mental health issues related to anxiety and depression. Investors will need help identifying best of breed psychedelics companies and a review of the Red Light Holland story is all you need to know about where the Company is going.
Red Light Holland (TRIP:CSE) is a psychedelics company focused on the development of premium “magic” truffles in the Netherlands. More than just lip service the Company already has these two very strong pillars in place:
TEAM – In order to help guide the company’s development and operations in the psychedelics space, TRIP has signed former Canopy Growth CEO Bruce Linton as chair of its advisory board and Former Canadian Health Minister, Tony Clement, as Senior Advisor. Company President Hans Derix is a native of the Netherlands and an expert in the space with over a decade of accomplished experience.
BUSINESS – The Company’s recreational brand of magic truffles are expected to be sold in the Netherlands through existing Smart Shops by mid-September, as well as, its e-commerce platform through microdose packs. To this end, TRIP has already commenced growing its first crop of magic truffles months ahead of schedule. The initial batch of approximately 100,000 grams of magic truffles available in late October, 2020.
As if that wasn’t enough, TRIP has also produced a virtual reality experience for prospective customers who want to experience the effects of their products before actually trying it. The AGORACOM thesis of small cap wealth this decade is the convergence of emerging technologies – but even we didn’t foresee the explosive intersection of virtual reality and psychedelics!
If you believe in the future of Psychedelics and Psilocybin in particular, then this interview with Todd Shapiro, CEO of Red Light Holland will be a TRIP.

Future Chelsea stars use augmented reality app to supplement training
Chelsea’s stars of tomorrow are already honing their skills by using the Blues’ groundbreaking new augmented reality mobile phone app.
The Stamford Bridge club’s junior academy players are using the Perfect Play app to supplement their training.
Academy graduate Reece James has provided the first digital masterclass for the tool that is now available for anyone to download.
24 hours have passed since the official launch of Perfect Play and we’re so overwhelmed by the support and amazing comments! There’s so much more to come from Perfect Play! Download today and #TrainWithTheBest
The new app uses video tracking technology to map the user’s space and return inch-perfect data on performance and ability in a host of individual or team challenges.
Chelsea’s academy staff and developers have worked since December 2018 on a product launched this week, one which they believe can take youth training to a whole new digital level.
Chelsea Under-11s head coach Sam Page has helped stars like Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham through the Stamford Bridge ranks and has taken a lead role on the new app.
“We’ve actually already used the app with our academy players and it’s been a really interesting part of our home learning programmes that we developed during the course of the pandemic lockdown,” Page told the PA news agency.
“It presented a really exciting opportunity for us with Perfect Play, and we offered the testing version of the app to our academy players from the Under-Nines to Under-13s as part of their home learning programme.
“They tested it for us and had it as part of their programme, so we had some really nice feedback and were able to make some refinements off the back of that.
“And moving forward we’re really keen for it to be a supplementary part of the programme for the youngest age groups that we only see on a part-time basis.
“Our goal is to remain at the forefront of what’s happening in global academy football, we always aspire to be world-leading.
It’s been fantastic working on this project for the past 18months. I am now really excited to see where we go next. https://t.co/o0h7pswPpy
“Our head of youth development Neil Bath really drives us as coaches to think in a fully-integrated fashion, and about all the technologies that come with that.
“Perfect Play is a really good example of how as coaches we can think about what technology can do to enhance our coaching practice.”
Manager Frank Lampard awarded a record number of senior debuts to home-grown stars in his first season at the Stamford Bridge helm.
Page admitted his own pride at seeing such a bumper crop of academy graduates, especially when witnessing England midfielder Mount hit the net in the 1-1 home draw with Leicester at the start of the campaign.
“There is immense pride in seeing a lot of our lads playing at Stamford Bridge,” said Page.
“For me the memory of Mason scoring against Leicester in the first game, I’ve been to many games at Stamford Bridge but that’s a very special memory for me.
“We talk to our players about it now, about the pathway and the expectations that Frank has, and the things he talks to us as academy staff about; the commitment, hard work, dedication, all of those core fundamental skills that we’ve also tried to embed in the Perfect Play app.” Stars like Mason Mount, pictured, were helped through Chelsea’s academy by Sam Page, one of the key contributors to the club’s new training app (Alastair Grant/NMC Pool)
Product owner Steve Didd will continue to work with Chelsea on refining an app he believes can help radically alter general sports training.
“Technology is going to be hugely influential in terms of how people train, and it’s something we’re hugely excited about delivering within Perfect Play,” Didd told the PA news agency.
“Our goal with the product is to make kids better footballers, and this technology enables us to show them they are getting better, because it captures their performances.
“Kids are very tech savvy now, but this should be extremely intuitive to set up and use and we believe it’s going to become an essential part of football training moving forwards.
“We’re taking elite academy methodologies that have been developed over decades, digitising that, and allowing kids to have that same kind of training, that wouldn’t be accessible elsewhere. So it’s there to help kids improve and gain the edge.
“We already have a masterclass in the app with Reece James.
“We’re heavily involved with the first-team men and women as well as the academy kids who feature. And we’ll be doing more masterclasses with players from both the men’s and women’s team.”

LOOP CONTACT TRACING SOLUTION PROVIDES BDG SPORTING EVENTS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENCE AND PROVIDE ECONOMIC RECOVERY FOR CLIENTS
bdG Sports is one of the largest providers of college basketball content in the United States, managing multiple NCAA Division I tournaments across North America, including destination tournaments in Southwest Florida, Las Vegas, Canada, and The Bahamas. The firm manages two professional golf tournaments on the Korn Ferry Tour in the Caribbean, and has an extensive background with both the LPGA and PGA TOUR. The firm boasts relationships with such brands as Nike, ESPN, Gatorade, and MGM Resorts International, among others. As a result of COVID-19, these staple events and many other bdG events have been disrupted, with no plans for commencement without a solution for the safety of fans, athletes, and staff.
President and CEO of bdG Sports, Brooks Downing, said: “Many within our extensive network of business are desperately searching for innovative solutions that will allow them the opportunity to support a safe environment for fans, staff and athletes, but also optimize their revenue streams that warrant the restart of operations. Loop effectively solves both of these problems with its leading contact-tracing solution which will provide the confidence needed as teams make decisions to restart their schedules. And while this tool will allow fans to return to events, Loop’s contactless, artificial intelligence marketing solutions will provide personalized promotions and targeted engagement, leading to higher conversions and transaction revenue at all events. This level of personalized omni-channel marketing is incredibly valuable for our clients’ resumption plans.”
BDG PROVIDES DIRECT ACCESS TO ITS LIVE GLOBAL SPORTING EVENTS AND TO ITS LARGE NETWORK OF CLIENTS WITHIN NBA, NHL, NCAA AND PGA
In addition to implementing Loop’s contact tracing product into its current and future events, bdG Sports also plays host to major global sports events and will be implementing Loop’s solutions to reinvent the live fan engagement experience, consisting of real-time personalized fan engagement.
Additionally, bdG will represent Loop as a reseller to its current and future clients and enables direct access to the bdG Sports client base, which the Company anticipates will accelerate its growth opportunities in the sports industry.
Loop CEO, Rob Anson, stated: “This is a major opportunity for Loop as live event operators are looking for two things that we can immediately solve. First, they are desperately looking to safely re-open facilities in efforts to save their respective seasons, and secondly, they are looking for new line revenue opportunities to offset the losses from reduced fan capacity in stadium. This partnership with globally renowned bdG Sports is major third-party validation of our abilities to deliver these solutions. We look forward to leading the way with them toward the safe and profitable resumption of major sporting events.”

European expansion through a joint venture with Franchise Cannabis Corp. whereby the Company will sell and market Franchise-manufactured CBD, hemp and cosmetic products in the European Union, Switzerland, Norway and the UK, utilizing its well-established eCommerce platform. (July 2020)
Acquisition of Verrian, a German natural psychedelic development company with the goal of formulating treatments for addictions, including opioids and alcohol. The move propels the Company into the emerging psychedelic market and supports the Company’s forays into the natural health sector beyond the CBD market. (June 2020)
No action is required by existing shareholders with respect to the name and ticker symbol change. Certificates representing common shares of Mota Ventures Corp. will not need to be exchanged as a result of the name change. The name change was approved by the board of directors on August 10, 2020.

Between 2 and 3 million non-melanoma skin cancers and 132,000 melanoma skin cancers occur globally each year.
1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70.
More than 2 people die of skin cancer in the U.S. every hour.
Clearly the world needs a much better early skin cancer screening technology.
MedX Health Corp. (TSXV: MDX) is a leading medical device and software company focused on the early detection of skin cancer. MedX has approvals in 35 countries and distribution agreements in place for its key skin cancer diagnostic products – SIAscope and DermSecure™ telemedicine platform.
Following on from MedX’s regulatory approval and distribution agreement in Brazil (read here), the Company recently announced an exciting exclusive distribution agreement to launch SIAscopy on DermSecure™ in Mexico with EMC LABS, S.A.P.I. DE C.V., operating as MedX Mexico. MedX Mexico plans to launch an aggressive ease-of-access skin scanning/assessment program throughout Mexico, using MedX’s SIAscopy on DermSecure™ Telemedicine platform. MedX Mexico will cover all the upfront costs for application for regulatory approval in Mexico, all marketing costs, and will utilize their large-scale distribution network in Mexico.
MedX Mexico’s, President and CEO, Carlos Vizcaino, states:
“There is a significant opportunity for MedX’s rapid skin assessment technology in Mexico, as skin cancer is a very common type of cancer in Mexico……MedX’s SIAscopy on DermSecure™ Telemedicine platform and advanced SIAscopy imaging technology is a perfect solution to assist dermatologists and physicians in the diagnosis process for early detection of melanoma.”
Masterplan
MedX Health’s masterplan is to continue to rollout distribution agreements with partners globally. So far Brazil and now Mexico are underway. MedX’s revolutionary skin cancer detection device is approved in the USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, the European Union, Turkey, and many other places. In total MedX’s device has achieved regulatory approval in 35 countries. This means we can expect further distribution agreements in the future to many of the above countries. The potential for future revenues is enormous.
MedX’s business model is similar to Software as a Service (SaaS) companies. The revenue model uses front-end hardware sales coupled with recurring “platform” revenue based on a minimum number of screens per device (360/year at $10/image).
2019 revenues were only small at C$860,248, and 1st quarter 2020 C$95,544, as the Company was impacted by COVID-19 and had yet to ramp up distribution as is now occurring in 2020. For a guide on where revenues are headed the next two years the Beacon Securities report is most useful.
The report’s analysts says MedX has strong visibility on initial orders from the MedX Brazilian distribution partner, that could result in $8 million of hardware sales over the next 2 years and a run-rate of $14 million of high margin, recurring platform revenue by the end of FY21. Given that MedX currently trades on a market cap of C$24 million, the C$14 million, if achieved, would mean MedX would trade on a 2022 market cap/sales ratio of only 1.7. Beacon Securities rates MedX Health a ‘buy’ with a Price Target of C$0.45. Given the stock currently trades at C$0.135, the C$0.45 price target represents a very significant upside of 233% or a 3.3 fold gain.
Closing remarks
It is very clear to me that the market is yet to wake up to the potential very large boost in revenues that MedX is working to achieve, now with distribution agreements in both Brazil and Mexico.
Detecting skin cancer is an enormous global need and MedX is working hard to fill this need. MedX has the right device and approvals in 35 countries. All that is needed now is further distribution agreements and revenue to flow. The opportunity for investors to get in early on such a great company with a very bright future still exists. I would not recommend waiting too long as the cheap valuation is unlikely to last long, especially as further new deals are announced.

The call, led by Chairman Terry Booth, CEO Adam Cegielski and Scientific Advisor Dr. Sandra Stoddard PhD, formally announced the Company’s expansion in to the K-12 education sector, drawing attention to the great impact that professional-lead neuro-vision therapy and training can have on learning and reducing the global education gap
By targeting K-12, the company is aiming to get Binovi into over 15,000 schools in Canada and over 130,000 schools in the United States
Toronto, New York – August 12, 2020 – Binovi Technologies Corp., (Binovi) (TSXV:VISN) | (OTC:BNVIF), a leader in neuro-vision performance technology, today shared the key highlights from its Investor Conference call held Tuesday August 11th, 2020. The call, led by Chairman Terry Booth, CEO Adam Cegielski and Scientific Advisor Dr. Sandra Stoddard PhD, formally announced the Company’s expansion in to the K-12 education sector, drawing attention to the great impact that professional-lead neuro-vision therapy and training can have on learning and reducing the global education gap.
“The plan in place for the next year truly exemplifies the shift necessary to grow the Binovi Platform to a Global and Noble product. Our team has worked tirelessly to develop and drive the commercial success of the platform, and the expansion into k-12 education is a natural evolution of the company’s capabilities to enhance cognitive performance through vision training. The efforts reflect our long-term business strategy and goals,” commented Terry Booth, Binovi Chairman.
Key Highlights from Binovi Investor Call:
Market Potential
Terry: “By targeting K-12, we’re aiming to get Binovi into over 15,000 schools in Canada and over 130,000 schools in the United States.”
Sandra: “I think [the rate of adoption] will skyrocket once we have the data in place about using Binovi. There’s so much research that proves already that vision therapy does improve developmental domains, the reading skills of kids, but we want to be able to show unequivocally that Binovi Touch works.”
Adam: “There are a lot of good tools out there, and there are a lot of companies that have built tools and they’re selling their tools and they’ve done a good job on how they’ve built those tools and how they market those tools; they’ve been very focused and they’ve had market penetration success; We are a platform, a platform that can continuously add technology and expand. We’ve taken a more global approach in our product development.”
Education Impact
Sandra: “Reading at grade level by grade 3 is the highest predictor for high school completion. We know that when kids complete high school it leads to so many more positive outcomes for them. In our field, we know that when kids don’t graduate, it’s close to 90% of kids that aren’t graduating weren’t able to read by grade 3.”
Sandra: “Close to 80% of children that do have learning disabilities in the area of reading meet the criteria for accommodation convergence problems, which literature has shown to lead to issues with accuracy, comprehension, or fluency. We also know that the earlier that we can intervene with individuals, the earlier we can remediate the problem.”
Sandra: “I am incredibly excited about utilizing this platform to really confirm that, if we can intervene early and help kids utilize vision therapy and remediate the vision difficulties, I’d like to be able to prove that it does have an impact on reading performance. If we can demonstrate that intervening early with these individuals can not only improve their ready ability but also improve their ability to attend; lots of kids that have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) also have vision deficits, so the potential for to globally impact these young kids, not only from a reading perspective but from those attentional learning skills needed to be successful in life, this could be a game-changer for the education field.”
Global Impact
Adam: “Over a billion people suffer from binocular issues.”
Terry: “This is way bigger than cannabis; this is a huge opportunity for investors but also schools, kids, and athletes. This is something that affects millions of people.”
Economic impact
Sandra: “Increasing the number of high school graduates in Canada by just 1% can save $7.7B; we see that not completing high school leads to higher rates of incarceration, lower levels of employment, more health issues.”
Ease of Use
Terry: “Vision training can take as little as 15 minutes per day, supported at home.”
Adam: “The infrastructure exists with support staff in schools and the goal is to use technology to link in with someone at the schools to be a centralized person within the school to work with teachers and simplifying the implementation.”
Sandra: “Having been through a walkthrough of the Binovi Platform for vision therapy, I can say that it is very very easy to use. We’d probably have to make some changes to make it motivational to some of the younger kids, but it is easy to use, all platforms can be integrated into the Binovi Platform, so my data collection can be tracked using Binovi. iPads are familiar, so I can easily see it being adopted into the education system.”
Telehealth
Adam: “Telehealth is a significant reality in the North American marketplace today; it’s really a by-product of the advancement of technology and where we are today. We’ve traditionally been dealing with technology solutions that are impacting us in different ways. I think it’s a unique opportunity now to converge all this technology into one spot. The education environment has never seen such dramatic changes in such a short period of time.”
Adam: “Our CTO, Dr. Mithani, has been working extensively on understanding the necessary pieces that Binovi has to have in place, and to be honest we’ve been on top of this substantially even before COVID hit. We’ve been working towards these things.”
Terry: “In our early discussions, Adam already had the plans in place to make sure that this was available through a telehealth platform. We needed to make this available to people from their homes, and it’s become a far bigger piece of the puzzle.”
“Binovi has the opportunity to be the global leader in how we shape the vision and brains of future generations. Looking ahead, we have implemented a number of initiatives to ensure the Company’s continued growth, and to generate the best possible performance results during these unique times. We are fortunate to support dedicated product users, while relying upon the experience and knowledge of our team to lead us to the next summit,” added Adam Cegielski, Binovi CEO
The expansion into education is in stride with the Company’s “Global and Noble” initiatives directed towards accelerating the development of reading fundamentals.
The company also announces today that it anticipates additional delays in filing its financial statements for the year ended February 29, 2020 and the related management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) and certifications (the “Annual Filings”). The Company has filed an application with the relevant securities authorities requesting that they issue a management cease trade order (an “MCTO”).
As previously announced, the Company had relied upon the blanket relief provided by the Canadian Securities Administrators (the “CSA”) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to extend the filing deadline for the Annual Filings. Due to ongoing complications in collection of certain required data and documentation to complete the audit of the Company caused by COVID-19, the resulting restrictions in travel and limited access to facilities, the Company does not expect to be able to file the Annual Filings by their respective extended deadlines. The Company will work with its auditors to complete the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and expects to file the Annual Filings by August 31, 2020.
Pursuant to National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders (“NP 12-203”), the Company is requesting that an MCTO be issued. If granted, the MCTO will restrict all trading by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and such other directors, officers and persons as determined by the applicable regulatory authorities, in the Company’s securities. There is no certainty that such order will be granted.
An MCTO will not affect the ability of persons other than the directors, officers and insiders to trade in the Company’s securities. An MCTO will remain in effect until the Annual Filings are filed or until it is revoked or varied. If an MCTO is not granted, the applicable regulatory authorities may issue a cease trade order against the Company for failure to file the Annual Filings within the prescribed time period.
Until the Company completes the Annual Filings, the Company will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203 – Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults for issuers who have failed to comply with a specified continuous disclosure requirement within the times prescribed by applicable securities laws. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports by way of a news release so long as the Annual Filings have not been filed.
