Kontrol Energy (KNR:CSE) (KNRLF:OTCQB) is the Google NEST of smart building technology, with the Blue Chip client base to prove it.  As such, when COVID-19 started shutting down buildings, arenas and complexes, their announcement the Receipt Of Positive Lab Results for Live COVID-19 Testing was taken very seriously by the investment community, with the stock smashing through to all-time highs and consolidating nicely in the $3.50 range.

Much of that consolidation came as a result of “impatient investors” who unrealistically demanded immediate and big sales agreements for the BioCloud unit, priced at $US 12,000 EACH.  But KNR CEO Paul Ghezzi and his team know that real success comes from building a real foundation – and they did that in a mind boggling 3 months.  We’ve been in the smallcap business long enough to know that pulling off the following in 3 months is damn near impossible, until now:

DISTRIBUTION – On December 1, 2020 KNR announced Entering into Exclusive Distribution Agreement with United Safety and Survivability Corporation for BioCloud Technology Distribution in North America, Australia and New Zealand. The exclusivity applies to the industries defined as buses, rail and locomotive, subways, ambulances, fire trucks, first responder and military vehicles, with applicable associated facilities in the geography of North America , Australia , and New Zealand . The exclusivity period is 12 months with a six month mutual renewal option and is based on 5,000 units of BioCloud per annum, on a best efforts basis, to retain exclusivity. Pricing will not be disclosed for industry competitive purposes. 

In addition, KNR has also entered into two non-exclusive BioCloud distribution agreements covering Ontario and Saskatchewan.

MORE GOVERNMENT FUNDING –  On December 3rd, 2020 the Company announced that it had received an additional $500,000 in research and development funding from the Canadian Federal Government.  This comes after a $50,000 grant earlier this year.  

PATENTS FILED  – On November 30, 2020 KNR announced the filing of 4 patents for the BioCloud technology with 3 patents filed in the USA and 1 patent in Canada .

MANUFACTURING –  KNR has engaged OES Inc. a local design and contract manufacturer in London, Ontario to produce the BioCloud units.  OES Inc. has a long and established history of assisting with the design and manufacturing of complex technology. Initial maximum capacity has been set at 10,000 units per month.

With all its ducks lined up and ready, CEO Paul Ghezzi says Kontrol is now well positioned for commercialization and believes 2021 is going to provide investors what they have long been waiting for.  Well, at least those investors that didn’t think 3 months was an unreasonable amount of time do all of this in.  Everybody else will just have to wait to see BioCloud in a building near them and wonder what could have been.

Watch or listen to this powerful interview with Kontrol Energy CEO, Paul Ghezzi.

CLIENT FEATURE: Datametrex $DM.ca $DTMXF #AI / #Covid19 Test Kit Distributor With $7.6M In Revenue For The First 9 Months of 2020 $PFM.ca $VQS.ca $SPOT.ca $ADK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:53 AM on Thursday, December 10th, 2020

Datametrex AI Limited (DM:TSXV) (D4G:FSE) (DTMXF: OTC) an AI and Machine learning company was well positioned with deep roots in South Korea to make the ultimate pivot to Covid-19 test kit distribution.  When the Canadian Government came calling for assistance in importing and distributing COVID-19 test kits, Datametrex stepped up to the task thanks to its security clearances already in place in both countries.

Since then, the company has signed multiple multi-million dollar Covid-19 test kit supply agreements with mining companies, a $20M CAD agreement with the television and film industry and various educational institutions.  This is in addition to lucrative AI contracts with various levels of government and enterprise level customers such as LOTTE Group, the fifth-largest conglomerate in Korea with annual revenues of approximately $60B USD.

REVENUE $CAD

  • Q1 + 62% To $809,000
  • Q2 + 419% To $1,954,000
  • Q3 + 188% To $4,862,325

TOTAL Q1/Q2/Q3

REVENUE   $7.6M vs $2.6M = +192%

GROSS PROFIT $2.3M vs $961K = +139%

Here’s the recent headlines:

  • Completion of the IDEaS program Component 1b Milestone 4 (December 9, 2020)
  • Recognized revenue of $7.6 million for first 9 months of 2020 (November 25, 2020)
  • Datametrex Expands Distribution of Film and Television Coronavirus Testing Across Canada (October 27, 2020)
  • Expands to Toronto Film Production Company for COVID-19 Testing Solutions (September 30, 2020)
  • $20M Supply Agreement With Major Worldwide Media & Entertainment Company for COVID-19 (September 24, 2020).
  • Received Third COVID-19 Order from TV Production Company (September 21, 2020)
  • Received  COVID-19 Test Kits Order for $1.6M From a Canadian Mining Company (September 3, 2020)

The demand for Covid testing is robust and well documented by the following:

  • U.S. television productions stalled in Vancouver by bottleneck in COVID-19 testing Read More

As tweeted by Air Canada on November 22, 2020:

Prior to the global pandemic, leaders embraced advanced analytics and AI, for good reason. According to a 2018 study by the McKinsey Global Institute, entitled: Notes from the AI frontier: Applications and value of deep learning, these capabilities are estimated to have the potential to create between approximately $9.5 trillion and $15.4 trillion in annual global economic value.

The company’s wholly owned subsidiary Nexalogy also played a key technology support role in the #SeeSay2020 campaign to fight voter intimidation in this past USA election. The company’s AI technology allowed for cyber filtration to identify voter intimidation for elections related research.

The company has also experienced robust demand for related services. Datametrex entered into a sales agreement with 7-Eleven Korea for Robotic Process Automation infrastructure (RPA) in order to automate certain business processes.

The global RPA market size is expected to reach $7.2 billion by 2025, rising at a market growth of 32.6% CAGR during the forecast period. RPA is the technology that enables anyone to configure computer software today, or a “robot” to replicate and incorporate the actions of a person working within digital systems to conduct a business process.

  • The medical program includes Avicanna’s 3 pillars aimed at setting the gold standard for medical cannabis in Colombia and other Latin America n markets , including Medical community education , Advanced pharmaceutical grade cannabinoid preparations and a Comprehensive patient support program
  • Coinciding with the launch of the medical program, Avicanna is hosting its second Colombian symposium Magisterial Formulas: Advances in Cannabinoid Research, Product Offering and Patient Access

TORONTO, Dec. 10, 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 the launch of its medical cannabis program in Colombia, under compound pharmacy legislation “Formulaciones Magistrales”, in which Avicanna will provide its standardized, industry-leading cannabinoid formulary to patients and the medical community. Additionally, this program includes the education and training of the medical community and a comprehensive patient support program.

Aras Azadian, CEO of Avicanna Inc., commented: “After 2 years of preparation, we are proud to be launching this complete program in a market that is very significant to us and to be doing so with a medical community that we have been working closely with for close to 3 years. We believe that this medical program will set the gold standard for advanced cannabinoid-based medicine in Colombia and will act as a proof of concept for planned expansions into other Latin American markets.”

The pharmaceutical cannabinoid preparations, which require physician prescription, will be commercialized through a range of business models including direct sales to patients, delivery to national pharmacies and delivery to third party medical institutions across Colombia. This comprehensive medical cannabis program is the first of its kind in Colombia to be educating and training third party health care practitioners on the efficacy of advanced cannabinoid-based medicine across various clinical indications and comorbidities and providing appropriate cannabinoid solutions. The target therapeutic areas include neurological disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, psychiatric indications such as PTSD, anxiety, depression as well as chronic pain.

This first complete portfolio of advanced cannabinoid preparations comprises the same scientifically developed formulations as Avicanna’s Canadian RHO Phyto branded dosage forms including topicals, oil drops, sublingual sprays, and capsules in range of CBD only and CBD-THC ratios. The products are subjected to typical pharmaceutical drug development, including stability studies and preclinical analysis where they have demonstrated superior stability and bioavailability in comparison to basic MCT oil formulations. Avicanna continues to advance these formulations through real world evidence trials and further preclinical studies with leading Canadian institutions and clinicians. In addition to its R&D efforts, the Company continues to optimize its current formulas and expand its pipeline of products to include alternative delivery mechanisms. The active pharmaceutical ingredients for this program are sourced from Avicanna’s majority owned subsidiary Santa Marta Golden Hemp S.A.S., where the cannabinoids are extracted from organic and sustainably cultivated plants. The final preparation of these products is completed through Avicanna’s own Good Production Practices (GPP) certified pharmacy lab in Bogota through its wholly owned subsidiary Avicanna LATAM S.A.S. (“Avicanna LATAM”), which is believed to be the first of its kind to be certified for cannabinoid preparations. The education and patient support programs are also managed and operated by Avicanna’s medical team to ensure the services meet Avicanna’s quality standards and complete the full vertical integration.

“At Avicanna, our focus has always been on patients, and today, with the launch of our medical program, patients in Colombia will have access to therapeutic alternatives that may contribute to the control of their comorbidities, improving their quality of life and solving possible unmet medical needs altogether. With that, we have established ourselves as a significant contributor to the health system in Colombia, where we intend to also introduce novel pharmaceutical forms and provide optimal care,” stated Dr. Carlos Maldonado, Senior Vice President, Clinical Development at Avicanna LATAM.

Avicanna’s educational program includes health care practitioner (“HCP”) training packages, educational modules, certifications, medical symposia and real-world evidence trials. The goal of this educational program is to contribute to scientific progress through evidence generation and to equip HCPs to provide patients with optimal care. A timely component of the Company’s educational program, its upcoming event titled Magisterial Formulas: Advances in Cannabinoid Research, Product Offering and Patient Access on December 10, 2020 at 10am EST, will officially kick off the nation program.

VIDEO – FansUnite $FANS.ca $FUNFF Malta Gaming Licences Open Up Europe + 150 Jurisdictions. U.K. Is Next and Sights Set On Canada $SCR.ca $BRAG.ca $TNA.ca $FDM.ca $JJ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:02 PM on Wednesday, December 9th, 2020

The global online gambling market could potentially hit $1 TRILLION by the end of this decade. That isn’t a typo and the reasons are pretty clear – more jurisdictions are legalizing online gambling to get their hands on the tax revenue and the remaining 40% of people on the planet without internet access are going to get it.  

Until recently, however, small-cap investors did not have a company that could provide them ground floor exposure to this massive market and its growth over the next 10 years.  The industry was dominated by the big traditional gambling companies, who focus heavily on old fashioned gambling. 

That all changes with FansUnite, the small cap iGaming super company that goes beyond simple gambling and attacks both sides of the iGaming market by offering both B2C and B2B gambling platforms.  

More than just lip service, FANS recently announced a record October, with the highest increase in monthly revenue and gross margin in the Company’s history.

MALTA LICENCES DONE …. U.K. AND CANADA ARE NEXT

If that was all FANS accomplished in Q4, investors would be really happy  … but watch this interview to hear just how big of an impact the Company’s 2 new Malta gaming licenses are to the future expansion of the Company.  The business development doors are now wide open for Europe and 150 jurisdictions.  Moreover, with the U.K. having its own gaming licenses, FANS is already in pursuit and is feeling confident given its success with Malta. 

If that wasn’t enough, FANS is also strongly positioned for a proposed change to Canadian gambling laws that could become a massive opportunity for the Canadian gambling and gaming company.  

If you are looking for a disruptive technology company that is well positioned to carve out its share of the massive online gambling world, then you need to watch or listen to this interview with FANS CEO, Scott Burton.

Datametrex $DM.ca $DTMXF Completes IDEaS Milestone 4 and Launches Nexalogy “SMART” $PFM.ca $VQS.ca $SPOT.ca $ADK.ca

  • Announced the completion of the IDEaS program Component 1b Milestone 4, as well as the launch of Nexalogy’s Social Media Automated Reporting Technologies (“SMART”)
  • The Company will receive approximately $218,000.00 CAD for the Component 1b Milestone 4. Combined, the total for all Milestones in Component 1b is approximately $945,000.00 CAD

Toronto, Ontario–(December 9, 2020) – Datametrex AI Limited (TSXV: DM) (FSE: D4G) (OTC: DTMXF) (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) is pleased to announce the completion of the IDEaS program Component 1b Milestone 4, as well as the launch of Nexalogy’s Social Media Automated Reporting Technologies (“SMART”). The Company will receive approximately $218,000.00 CAD for the Component 1b Milestone 4. Combined, the total for all Milestones in Component 1b is approximately $945,000.00 CAD.

As previously announced, Nexalogy’s SMART is an advanced proprietary AI technology. SMART minimizes human involvement in data analysis and reporting. It significantly decreases the time required for integration and interpretation of large data sets and report production. Nexalogy has completed the IDEaS Component 1b Milestone 4, and as a result, SMART has been tested internally with several existing clients. It is expected to be fully available in Q4 of 2020.

AI reporting on social media and other forms of unstructured text is increasingly important. Global developments in the information landscape, as well as the increased importance of telework with the COVID-19 pandemic, have both contributed to the need for strategic reporting of data from these platforms. In terms of automation, SMART helps to reduce the time involved in the analysis and management of the data deluge. In terms of objectivity, SMART helps to reduce human bias and error when dealing with big data. SMART increases efficiency for an extra layer of defence against terrorism, pandemics, and overall crises, as well as providing clients with an edge to be ahead of social trends, competitors, and new audiences.

“We are very happy to have successfully completed the IDEaS Component 1B Milestone 4 and the launch of SMART,” said Marshall Gunter, President and CEO of the Datametrex AI Limited. “Datametrex has put significant effort into the R&D behind SMART, which is a major goal of the IDEaS program. We are confident that our cutting edge technology will significantly benefit our clients. We look forward to deploying this technology in new verticals.”

About SMART (Social Media Auto-Reporting Technologies)

SMART reduces the time needed to interpret and integrate large sets of data by offering powerful automated analyses. Rather than replacing the human analyst, he/she sets the parameters of the data collection via keywords and other social media information (e.g., usernames and links). This allows for the identification of data needing extraction and analysis. SMART extracts the relevant data and produces automated reports, thus allowing clients to work with a more manageable information set. SMART allows an analyst to deal with hundreds of thousands of social media documents in minutes rather than hours or days.

Analysts can specify filters on the data to get automatic reports on subsets of the data focusing on specific times, entities, social media users, or topics. The resulting reports are delivered either as PDFs, DOCs, or via API for further processing. The report generation can be scheduled to occur either at regular intervals or to be triggered by specific changes in the conversation (e.g., a sudden increase in volume or an increase in mentions of a particular named entity).

Lastly, SMART analysis helps the user to easily access the required information and helps to detect patterns that currently go unrecognized. This is needed in both the context of the ‘short game’ of crisis reporting and the ‘long game’ of identifying narratives, as discussed within the BEND (Build Engage Neutralize Distract) framework.
