Moreover, given the partnerships, products, and financing discussed below, Loop Insights is extremely confident that 2021 will see an equal magnitude of growth experienced in 2020.

To this end, Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated the following:

Dear shareholders,

2020 was an extraordinary year and we hope you and your families are staying healthy and safe. COVID-19 has had a major impact on economies, families, and businesses. It has been one of Loop’s major focuses to combat the effects of this pandemic in order to help industries recover and thrive in this new normal. Throughout the year, my team and I have worked tirelessly to create products and solutions that would gain the trust of our partners such as Telus, Amazon Web Services, Vend, bdG Sports, and most recently, NTT DATA, so that they could have the confidence necessary to bring this into their global customer opportunities.

I am happy to report that we have accomplished this goal and as a result of these world-class partnerships, are now on the cusp of participating in global opportunities we never thought possible at the beginning of 2020. Moreover, we are very confident that additional significant developments will continue to be announced in 2021 when our partners and customers return from their holiday breaks to resume several high-level discussions across many verticals.

None of these accomplishments in 2020 and those awaiting us in 2021 would be possible without my great team and our great shareholders. I always express gratitude to my team and am especially grateful to the shareholders that have supported Loop this year. Our successes in 2020 have reflected the company’s long-term vision that we continue to execute. As we enjoy this holiday season to spend valuable time with our families, we are also enjoying a much needed but short break before returning to work to further execute on work that awaits us and our partners upon our return. The Loop Insights team has worked hard to achieve a year of incredible successes and looks forward to hitting the ground hungry and humble on behalf of our great shareholders. Thank you so much for your continued support which has been integral to our 2020 success and will be integral to our 2021 success.

2020 CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

Loop Insights achieved a number of monumental milestones this calendar year as it developed its leading services including:

AMAZON

On June 8th, Loop Insights was selected to join Amazon Web Services Partner Network, joining the majority of Fortune 100 companies that rely on Amazon’s services every day. As a preferred partner, Loop will seize this networking opportunity to gain access to hundreds of ongoing AWS portfolios, as well as co-development projects. More than 90% of Fortune 100 companies source their solutions and services from Amazon.

On October 22nd, Loop Insights and Amazon Web Services announced the two companies would be hosting an interactive webinar to showcase Loop’s venue tracing capabilities. The webinar was a great success and achieved its maximum attendance of 1,000 viewers, with more than 88% of viewers remaining engaged through to the end of the final Q&A segment. Loop received inquiries from large corporations in sectors such as Airlines, Sports & Entertainment Enterprises, Telecom, and Government, with many significant discussions now at advanced stages.

TELUS

On October 15th, Loop announced the significant milestone of having been accepted into the Telus IoT Marketplace. The Company’s first product accepted into the IoT Marketplace was our contact tracing product, which has received significant exposure to many of TELUS’s largest customers and ongoing significant discussions with them. The third-party validation that came with this acceptance has been instrumental in Loop’s contact tracing discussions with large corporate customers around the world.

On December 3rd, Loop announced the Launch Of A Second Product Into The TELUS IoT Marketplace For National Sales and Marketing To TELUS Business Customers. The Company’s second product accepted into the IoT Marketplace was our Insights service which consists of our IoT Fobi device, Loop Cloud API, and AI Insights Portal that provide automated marketing capabilities. Connected between the printer and point of sale, Loop’s Fobi device’s real-time capabilities are driven by Artificial Intelligence to enhance the shopping experience. Providing data-driven product suggestions and unique discount codes for future use, Loop enables customers to increase revenues through increased spend per customer.

NTT DATA

On December 17th, Loop announced the most significant partnership in its history with NTT DATA, a top-ranked global IoT services company, and subsidiary of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, the world’s 4th largest telecom company, ranked 55th In Fortune Global 500. As a result of this partnership, Loop will be exposed to global opportunities never thought possible earlier this year. For example, Loop’s successful live deployment of its Venue Bubble solution and its published capabilities with respect to its Travel Bubble solution will be the subject of work on major projects with NTT DATA.

RETAIL – VEND AND SHOPIFY

On August 10th, Loop Insights announced a reseller partnership and API integration with Vend, a leading global PoS company that operates over 25,000 stores across 140 countries. The announcement came with the partnership’s first sale to a franchise with 30 locations. Through the reseller partnership, Loop is working with Vend’s global team to continue to onboard new customers monthly.

On August 20th, Vend and Loop Insights announced a 20-store pilot that successfully concluded on November 4th with an agreement to deploy its insights platform at 550 “Your CBD” locations across 41 states, the largest CBD retailer in the United States.

This makes Loop’s real-time online and offline data connectivity vital.

On November 12th, Loop announced the 2021 integration of Uklipz into its product stack. This is a very important milestone for Loop due to the significant strength it adds to our offering and the disruption it creates in the massive but problematic consumer review industry.

On December 21st Loop announced the January 2021 launch of its Digital Connect Health Platform, a fully-integrated digital healthcare solution designed for both government and private sector. The launch comes after continuous discussions and requests from government leaders, both Provincial and Federal, over the past 7 months after the April 20 launch of the Beta version of its Smart Health contactless check-in platform, which streamlines patient engagement and operations. Loop’s Smart Health device requires a simple tap of the patient’s mobile phone to check in and verify their ID. Patients have frictionless access to everything they need in one simple wallet pass, including real-time notifications, testing and tracing updates, critical health information, and more.

FINANCING AND INTENTION TO UPLIST TO MAJOR NORTH AMERICAN STOCK EXCHANGES

As a result of our success in 2020 and anticipated success in 2021, Loop announced its “Uplist Plan” on December 7th to begin the process of uplisting to major North American Stock Exchanges. The Uplist Plan outlines Loop’s proposed plan to apply to have its common shares uplisted to the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), as a technology company, from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”), followed by an intention to apply for listing on NASDAQ. Completion of the Uplist Plan is subject to meeting certain conditions and approvals that are not assured and outlined in the press release for full review by shareholders.

Moreover, on December 11th, Loop announced the receipt of approximately $4,600,000 from the exercise of warrants up to December 10, 2020. The proceeds from this latest round of warrants being exercised are expected to provide Loop with the financial resources necessary to fund growth and operations to the end of 2021 at a minimum, assuming the Company wasn’t able to generate any further revenue from business operations. As such, the Company does not foresee the need for any financing with the exception of strategic client partners that may want to invest in Loop in order to participate in its growth.

Moreover, as the Company expects to generate meaningful revenue from its current and anticipated sales pipeline over the next 12 months, as well as, receive additional proceeds from further anticipated warrant exercises, the Company is confident it now has the war chest necessary to pursue all anticipated business opportunities as the demand for its solutions continues to grow on a weekly, if not daily basis.

CEO Rob Anson added “As shareholders can see from this year in review, Loop had an incredible year in 2020, and more importantly, is positioned with the right partners, products, pipeline, and financial resources to make the same quantum leap in 2021. Our success is reflective of our hard work and the exceptional quality of our people. Our team has grown and we’ve welcomed many passionate members who continue to drive innovation here at Loop. Despite the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Loop team has overcome all obstacles and continues to work to drive the growth of the company, whether working remotely or together in our Vancouver office. We can’t wait to get back to work and deliver more big wins for our shareholders.”

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:04 AM on Thursday, December 24th, 2020
  • PEAK Provides Update On 2017 Secured Debentures and Exercise of Warrants

Secured debentures issued back in December, 2017, originally totaling $12-million and of which a balance of $3.27-million was still outstanding as on Oct. 1, 2020, have totally been paid back by Peak Fintech Group Inc. or converted into common shares of the company.

The debentures were issued in the course of a private placement financing where the company sold a total of 1,200 units for gross proceeds of $12-million. Each unit sold comprised a $10,000 face value, two-year maturity, 8-per-cent annual interest secured debenture plus 20,000 common share purchase warrants. The maturity was extended by another year in 2019 and the debentures were set to mature on Dec. 16, 2020. Investors who purchased the units could, at any time prior to the maturity date of the debentures, surrender part or all of the amount invested in the debentures to exercise their warrants and purchase common shares of the company at a price of 50 cents per share. In summary, $11.94-million of the debentures was surrendered to exercise warrants and the company paid back $60,000 in cash to investors.

In addition to the warrants exercised as a result of the surrender of the debentures, the company received over $2.5-million in cash from the exercise of warrants unrelated to the debentures between Oct. 1, 2020, and Dec. 23, 2020.

  • The continuous emissions and BioCloud revenues are anticipated to be recorded in Q1 2021

TORONTO, ON / December 23, 2020 / Kontrol Energy Corp. (CSE:KNR)(OTCQB:KNRLF)(FSE:1K8) (“Kontrol” or “Company“), a leader in smart buildings and cities through IoT, Cloud and SaaS technology, is pleased to announce a $750,000 order for its continuous emissions business which includes BioCloudTM units and a separate initial order from one of Ontario’s largest Electricity Generators. The continuous emissions and BioCloud revenues are anticipated to be recorded in Q1 2021.

“We are very pleased to receive a significant order in our core business with a US manufacturing customer which also includes 2 BioCloud units as part of a package sale,” says Paul Ghezzi, CEO of Kontrol. “Our corporate strategy is to quote BioCloud units as part of all new sales opportunities from our core business. In addition, we are pleased that one of Ontario’s largest Electricity Generators has ordered an initial 2 units of BioCloud. Both customers have additional scale potential with numerous facilities. Our recent product launch and technology walk-through in December was a success and has initiated accelerating interest in how BioCloud can help create safer spaces.”

Distribution Orders

To date the Company has received 40 initial distribution orders for delivery in January from its existing distribution network. The Company has entered into 6 distribution agreements (1 exclusive and 5 non-exclusive) and is in negotiations for various potential additional non-exclusive distributions agreements. Distribution is a key part of our go to market strategy that can allow the Company to scale quickly.

“In a short period of time since the official launch of BioCloud in December we have received strong interest and numerous distribution requests,” says Gary Saunders, VP Kontrol. “We envision many more agreements across the globe as we focus on growing the BioCloud business.”

As the Company continues to build its distribution business, we anticipate that distributors will be required to maintain a minimum of 250-unit sales per annum to retain non-exclusivity and distributor pricing. The Company’s internal goal is to have 30 regional distributors established by the end of Q1 2021.

Customer Pilots

The Company plans to begin numerous pilots with both existing customers of Kontrol and new potential customers. The purpose of the pilots is to provide potential customers with various specific application use cases across their facilities. The types of pilot customers will include the sectors of commercial real-estate, grocery stores, franchised restaurants, educational facilities and other.

Recurring Revenue

The detection chamber includes a specific re-agent system. To date the Company has been sourcing its re-agents from the United States. The Company has initiated discussions and testing to source its re-agents from Canadian based sources. By doing so it is seeking to add more of its supply chain in Canada but also reduce the costs of the detection chamber. Further updates will be provided following additional testing.

Avicanna $AVCN.ca $AVCNF to Expand Access to Its Advanced and Evidence-Based RHO Phyto Medical Products Through Provincial Retailers Across Canada $WEED.ca $CL.ca $HEXO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:52 AM on Wednesday, December 23rd, 2020
http://www.smallcapepicenter.com/Avicana%20square%20logo.jpg
  • Expanding from the successful launch in medical-only channels in partnership with Medical Cannabis by Shoppers, Avicanna will now offer RHO Phyto™ nationwide through provincial retailers
  • RHO Phyto products will include its advanced formulary of sublingual sprays, oil drops and topicals through retail sales channels estimated at $3 billion dollars* in Canada

TORONTO, Dec. 23, 2020 — Avicanna Inc. (“Avicanna” or the “Company“) (TSX: AVCN) (OTCQX: AVCNF) (FSE: 0NN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacturing and commercialization of plant-derived cannabinoid-based products, announces that the full formulary of RHO Phyto products will be available through retail channels in early 2021 in Canada.

A successful proof of concept and partnership with Medical Cannabis by Shoppers

During the past four months, the RHO Phyto medical formulary has experienced an incredibly successful launch with overwhelming positive support by the medical community including 300 prescribers and 20 clinics. RHO Phyto sales have increased 100%+ month over month in all product categories. The early results show the product formulary key demographics are 55% women, 47% are 51-75 years of age and 90% of consumers are 30+ years old. Avicanna will remain exclusive to Medical Cannabis by Shoppers for medical/prescription use and intends to increase its current commercial SKU’s from 4 to 10 in 2021.

A photo accompanying this announcement is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/53b6cb70-2cb5-42b1-a891-f43366910e83

Expansion to retail sales to provide consumers with low barrier access to the same industry leading formulary of medical cannabis products

It has become evident that many consumers who seek cannabis for medical purposes are not going through medical channels, with nearly 44% purchasing from legal storefronts (adult-use). According to the 2020 Canadian Cannabis Survey, 76% of medical cannabis users do not have a medical document – such as a prescription – from a healthcare professional. The ease of access to store-fronts and systemic barriers to connecting with a health care professional who may provide a medical document have continued to impact medical user numbers year over year, which have remained largely the same around 350,000 active registered medical users in Canada since 2018*.

Aras Azadian, Avicanna’s Chief Executive Officer, stated: “The existing stigma around medical cannabis and the barriers to obtain a medical document make it particularly challenging for some patients to access medical cannabis through the appropriate channels with the support of a health care practitioner. We believe that by expanding the RHO Phyto portfolio into retail sales channels we will provide consumers with easier and low barrier access to standardized medical products they seek. For a biopharmaceutical company like Avicanna, this expansion of our medical products into retail channels is in many ways similar to accessing over-the-counter medical products.” Aras Azadian, the companies Chief Executive Officer.

RHO Phyto product attributes and retail sales strategy

The advanced and standardized products are offered in various doses of CBD, THC and THC-Free formulations to provide consumers with a range of inhalation-free cannabinoids-based solutions. The advanced formulations are developed and optimized by Avicanna to provide enhanced absorption versus basic MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil formulations while providing a consistent experience with a pleasant taste and smell. The RHO Phyto products are delivered with accurate dosing which also allows for easy titration and dosing by consumers.

Avicanna’s RHO Phyto strategy to leverage retail sales channels is consistent with the company’s vision to provide education and safe delivery of its products through evidenced-based training and education to the consumers, retailers and the medical community. Avicanna aims to establish RHO Phyto as the doctor recommended brand within the cannabis industry and has initiated several pre-clinical and real-world evidence clinical trials on the products with leading Canadian medical institutions.

  • Though the Company has executed contracts totaling approximately $775,000 in the calendar year, the value of these contracts will not be fully reflected in the fiscal year financials due to the fact some of the agreements were signed after August 31.
  • Moreover, given the SaaS business model of the Company, revenues are recognized pro-rata over the life of the term of each contract, which can range from 1 – 5 years.
  • Nonetheless, the approximate $775,000 record revenue from these contracts will be received and recognized by the Company.

VANCOUVER, BC , Dec. 23, 2020 – Imagine AR Inc. (CSE: IP) (OTCQB: IPNFF) (“ImagineAR” or “Company”) an Augmented Reality Company that enables businesses, sports teams and organizations to create instant AR campaigns without a technical background, is pleased to provide investors with a corporate update for calendar 2020, the Company’s best year. Specifically, the Company set records in two key performance indicators (KPI’s):

Total Executed AR Contracts$775,000 *
Total Proceeds from Financing$6,000,000 (approximate)
* Approximate Augmented Reality Enterprise, White Label, and SDK contracts

ImagineAR CEO, Alen Paul Silverrstieen said “By every KPI, ImagineAR turned in its best calendar year performance ever.  Despite the early negative impact to our sales pipeline as a result of COVID-19 shutting down live events, the pendulum swung quickly as sports teams, corporations and entertainers turned to augmented reality to generate new revenue opportunities through our platform’s ability to create direct mobile engagement and activations.  We are very proud of our performance from both a sales and technology development point of view.”

The Company is filing its audited 2020 financials and MD&A for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 on SEDAR by the end of this month.  Though the Company has executed contracts totaling approximately $775,000 in the calendar year, the value of these contracts will not be fully reflected in the fiscal year financials due to the fact some of the agreements were signed after August 31.

Silverrstieen added “Looking forward into 2021, though COVID-19 was a significant short-term catalyst in 2020, our pipeline clearly indicates it also accelerated the inevitable adoption of AR by 2-3 years, leading to our confident expectation that 2021 will see even greater increases than 2020. We fully expect to deliver news related to new contract wins in early 2021.”

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:

COMMERCIALIZATION – The Company’s recreational brand of magic truffles are already being sold in the Netherlands through existing Smart Shops, as well as, its e-commerce platform through microdose packs.   To this end, TRIP has already sold its first 100,000 grams of magic truffles months ahead of schedule, and has now increased production by 10X to 1,000,000 grams (not a typo).   

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.

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 creation 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.
