Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) Enabling Global Commerce with Flexible, Multi-Channel Electronic Payment Solutions


  • Strong financial results reported for Q2 2018, with $32.45 million in revenue, up nine percent over same quarter of previous year
  • Net Element subsidiary Unified Payments and Payment Club, Inc. raise $7 million to expand subscription-based payment processing service
  • Company delivers flexible offerings to emerging global markets with diverse banking, regulatory and demographic conditions
  • Ranked as one of North America’s fastest growing companies on Deloitte’s 2017 Technology Fast 500
Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE), a global technology-driven group that specializes in mobile payments and value-added transactional services, continues to add flexible, convenient options to its array of electronic payment solutions. The company’s growth in revenue supports its strategic approach in providing yet another avenue for small and mid-sized businesses to accept cashless payments. News that Net Element subsidiary Unified Payments is launching a subscription-based payment processing service through a partnership with Payment Club, Inc. is a value-added case in point, with $7 million raised to finance related expansion plans (http://ibn.fm/APf3n).

“Utilizing a transparent subscription-based pricing model combined with the latest technology solutions, Payment Club can provide positive options to frustrated merchants and streamline their payment processes,” Anthony Kutscher, president and co-founder of Payment Club, stated in a news release.

For business owners who are often stymied by rising or hidden costs, this subscription-based cashless payment operating model makes sense in more ways than one by providing access, efficiency and a cost effective service through a subscription-based economy, as detailed in a recent Forbes article (http://ibn.fm/SAU6b). Businesses of all stripes are entering a phase where, through subscriptions, cost-effective access to virtually unlimited resources is the new reality, the article asserts. In other words, “businesses don’t have to own the resources they need to enable their business, but rather can pay for efficient access to only the resources they need when they need them.”

Unified Payments’ newly created subscription-based billing engine allows Payment Club and many Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), Value Added Resellers (VARS) and Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) to bill and manage any payment services and software licenses in a convenient and transparent way, according to an earlier news release (http://ibn.fm/kdPMZ). The turn-key solution includes everything needed for businesses to accept payments in a multi-channel environment, including smart point-of-sale devices for card present transactions and fully integrated point-of-sale systems, as well as online and mobile solutions developed exclusively for Payment Club by Net Element.

“Small businesses often complain about the fees they pay for accepting cashless transactions and the burden it places on their business,” Vlad Sadovskiy, president of integrated payments for Net Element, explained in a news release. “At Unified Payments, we make it fast, easy and affordable to accept cashless payments using the newly introduced subscription-based processing.”

A new independent research report, now available from Fundamental Markets (accessible through registration), highlights Net Element’s progress in building revenue and expanding its roster of electronic payment services (http://ibn.fm/pDgue). In the report, Net Element’s reported revenue for the first quarter of 2018 increased by 17.85 percent, coming in at $15.98 million versus $13.56 million over the same period last year.

MissionIRNewsBreaks – Pacific Software, Inc. (PFSF) Developing Blockchain-based E-Commerce Platform


Pacific Software (OTC: PFSF), an emerging development technology corporation, offers product tracking from farm to fare through its blockchain ecommerce trade platform which is currently under development. A recent article discussing the company reads: “The Hyperledger technology offers a number of advantages. Its consensus algorithm is Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT), not the Proof-of-Work (PoW) widely employed by cryptocurrencies. This eliminates the need for the large amounts of power needed to solve cryptographic hash functions and also reduces the time it takes for transactions to be validated, to seconds. In contrast, a transaction with bitcoin, which uses PoW, will only be confirmed after 10 minutes. Hyperledger also allows permissioned systems to be built, which increases the privacy and security of the network. In a permissioned blockchain, an issuing authority grants identities to transactors on the network and assigns the appropriate level of access. The permissioned network can provide privacy by granting different levels of access and provide accountability with a record of all the transactions for an identity. This differs from the bitcoin network, which is publicly accessible.”

Could NUGL Inc. (NUGL) Become the Google of Cannabis?


  • Search engine features focused on cannabis commerce
  • “Business media” platform that makes networking easier
  • One-stop shop for both consumers and commercial operators
There’s a good chance that, very soon, someone who wants information on cannabis commerce will “NUG-L” with an application developed by NUGL Inc. (OTC: NUGL), in much the same way that they “Google” a topic. The tech company, located in Chino Hills, California, is aiming to become a leader in fostering communication and business relations in the cannabis space. To do so, it has developed a distinct platform that is part Google, part LinkedIn, which will allows users to not only find information on products, services and much more related to cannabis, but also facilitate networking and alliances between brands and service providers. NUGL’s leading edge, first-of-its-kind search app and online directory for the marijuana industry may soon be a one-stop shop for dispensaries, hydro stores, vape shops, brands and strains, as well as doctors, lawyers and other service professionals.

As Technical Engineer CJ Melone of NUGL explained in a recent interview (http://ibn.fm/zkWYZ), “We basically built an application that addresses every type of business in the 420 sector… and the businesses range from services, such as a CPA, a real estate agent… we cover all the storefronts, such as dispensaries and hydro stores, and we really are focusing on brands. And a brand could range from a vape pen coming out or a certain strain of marijuana, and what we’re seeing is that as the industry is becoming more sophisticated and it’s evolving, people and users are looking for that level of sophistication. They don’t want to just find marijuana or a store that sells it, they want to find a certain strain or brand of marijuana, and it’s just a natural step in evolution.”

“So we built profiles that address all these types of companies and it’s good, because it gives brands and services the ability to network ‘on the back end’, and a brand could start setting up distribution, and start making connections with dispensaries; a type of nutrient could start making connections with hydro stores or grow houses; and services can start making connections to people that need it. And what’s even more important is that this is a ‘value-add’ to the user, since they can find more things online and in a more detailed way, so it’s a win-win on both sides,” he continued.

The “profiles” are a feature that is proving to be especially favored. The wealth of information a profile provides “almost alleviates the need for a company to have a web site.” They will undoubtedly play an important role as dispensaries and other cannabis retail establishments search for suppliers and service providers. Indeed, this B2B capability of the application gives NUGL a unique position in the cannabis sector, making the company not simply a search platform but a “business media” portal. NUGL expects that as businesses and professionals become more familiar with the platform, this B2B characteristic will take on increasing importance. It is presently engaging in a variety of educational outreaches to teach the community how to use the back end of the software.

The company continues to enhance the application – it is rolling out new features every week – based on feedback received from the ecosystem of cannabis businesses, service providers and consumers, and it expects to start charging for some services in the very near future.

“We are going to start monetizing soon,” explained Melone. “You know software is a funny thing. Sometimes it’s better to start charging 5 million eyeballs later, than 500 hundred eyeballs today… We are getting into the market very methodically. We are gaining users and brands. We are putting together some strategic alliances. It’s going good. We are growing every day. We are not trying to do things on a whim. We are in this for the long haul.”

Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF) to Raise C$20 Million through Unit Sale


  • A syndicate of underwriters is to purchase 3.8 million units at C$5.27 per unit
  • Sale terms are an amendment of previously announced agreement to sell 1.9 million units
  • Sunniva is closer to achieving full vertical integration in California with launch of Sunniva-branded product lines commencing in Q4 2018
Sunniva Inc. (CSE: SNN) (OTCQX: SNNVF), a vertically-integrated medical cannabis provider, aims to raise C$20 million through the sale of units of the company to a syndicate of underwriters spearheaded by Beacon Securities Limited and Canaccord Genuity Corp., according to a company press release (http://ibn.fm/HVqPi).

Sunniva announced that the syndicate will purchase 3.8 million units priced at C$5.27 per unit, an amendment of the previously publicized agreement which said that the syndicate was to buy 1.9 million units. Subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange, the closing date of the deal will be October 10. The funds realized from the sale will go toward working capital, among other corporate expenses.

Sunniva recently released its second quarter results, at which time the company’s management said that they looked forward to future revenue opportunities (http://ibn.fm/EQesV). In a news release, CEO Dr. Anthony Holler said, “We made great progress in Q2 2018 towards our goal of becoming a truly vertically integrated cannabis company in the U.S. In California, construction progressed at our phase one 325,000 square foot state-of-the-art Sunniva California Campus with completion targeted by the end of this year and first harvest expected in Q1 2019. Our extraction facility began generating revenue this quarter. We continue to secure new contracts and are excited about the future revenue opportunities in this and other vertical channels that maximize the synergies with our Vapor Connoisseur device business.”

In the six months up to June 2018, Sunniva’s total revenue amounted to C$9.6 million, against a net loss of C$11.2 million, compared to a C$11.7 million loss in the same period last year.

Speaking of the company’s immediate future plans, Dr. Holler said that its focus in California and the U.S. is to leverage its cultivation and extraction facilities and aggressively expand upstream distribution and retail opportunities to achieve full vertical integration from seed to sale, “which will include a focus on soon launching Sunniva branded product lines in various product categories including flower, extracted products, vaporizers and beverages.”

The first half of the year saw Sunniva entering separate agreements to provide distilled oil products to two leading California brands. Sunniva’s subsidiary, CP Logistics, has a deal with Farmacy Phactory, a producer of high-terpene strains of cannabis. CP Logistics will also produce distilled oil products for Cali Gold.

Sunniva has experienced significant expansion over the last year, including beginning construction of a new 759,000 square foot facility in Okanagan Falls, Canada, and opening a new clinic in its Natural Health Services referral network of cannabis-related clinics.

Dr. Holler continued, “In Canada, we received our Confirmation of Readiness letter for a license from Health Canada and broke ground and commenced construction on the 759,000 square foot Sunniva Canada Campus in Okanagan Falls, British Columbia. Our Natural Health Services’ clinics reported another strong quarter of revenue generation and together with the future production from the Sunniva Canada Campus, provide a solid foundation for future Canadian growth opportunities.”

The leading independent equity research firm SeeThruEquity recently announced an update note on ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX). Headquartered in Midtown Manhattan in New York City, SeeThruEquity maintains one of the industry’s most extensive databases of opt-in institutional and high net worth investors. The research firm’s core mission is to provide impactful, high quality research on underfollowed smallcap and microcap equities.

CIIX is a relatively undiscovered specialized financial information company dedicated to Chinese-speaking investors worldwide. The company focuses on delivering market analysis and education in the Chinese language. In addition, CIIX capitalizes on the market potential of cannabis-infused health and wellness products and cryptocurrency investments. With the upcoming CBD spinoff set to take place by year-end, the company plans to focus back on its original mission of providing financial information and services to the larger Chinese community in the U.S. and elsewhere.

CIIX reported revenue growth of 40.5 percent over FY2017 for FY2018. The growth is credited to the company’s focus on consumer products and services in the hemp oil, CBD and cryptocurrency markets, as well as an increase in revenue for investor relations and subscription-based investor news products. The company anticipates significant growth in its hemp, CBD and cryptocurrency initiatives in FY2019, with moderate growth overall.

SeeThruEquity noted that CIIX was seeking to raise $3 million in private placement in August 2018. The research firm anticipates that CIIX will continue to seek external capital to cover costs until growth initiatives are able to support free cash flow generation.

CIIX has expanded its offerings to target the fast-growing cryptocurrency market through education and trading subscription services for Chinese-speaking investors. NewCoins168.com and the Daily Cryptocurrency Chinese Video Newscast from the NYSE cover the emerging digital currency market. In 2018, the company also launched Bitcoin Millionaire VIP Livestream and Bitcoin Trading Academy. Currently, there are plans to install a cryptocurrency ATM network and domestic online coin-to-coin exchange.

Inaugural Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (NUGS) and True Promise Beauty CBD-Based Product Line Set to Be Launched by Year-End 2018

  • The first products resulting from the joint venture between Cannabis Strategic Ventures and True Promise Beauty are scheduled to be launched by the end of 2018
  • The CBD-based luxury cosmetics line will feature face, skin and hair care products
  • These products feature innovative formulations that aren’t currently available; the two companies hope to achieve strategic success in a constantly expanding luxury skin care market
Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC: NUGS) and True Promise Beauty have announced the development of LYXR – a new line of cannabidiol (CBD)-based luxury skin and hair care products. The entire LYXR line will be developed from ingredients like hemp-derived phytocannabinoids and other natural components, according to a company announcement on September 20, 2018 (http://ibn.fm/KSKKD).
Cannabis Strategic Ventures and True Promise Beauty will first launch a face mask that is made from a CBD isolate. The applications of CBD in the cosmetic industry are numerous. Cannabidiol is believed to have anti-aging hydrating properties, as well as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Upon the full development of the LYXR range, the line will feature face, hair and skin care products. According to an official announcement, LYXR products will become available for purchase in early winter 2018.
The news came as a week earlier, on September 13, 2018, Cannabis Strategic Ventures and True Promise Beauty announced a strategic partnership aimed at the development of innovative skincare products. Under the terms and conditions of the agreement, Cannabis Strategic Venture acquired access to a proprietary hemp-derived CBD-infused formula developed by True Promise Beauty. In addition, the company gained access to well-established distribution channels (http://ibn.fm/i0Ywi).
Cannabis Strategic Ventures CEO Simon Yu said in a news release that LYXR provides an amazing opportunity for the introduction of cannabis science in the world of luxury cosmetic products. According to True Promise Beauty President Gail Johnson, the partnership will create a product line that’s brand new to the marketplace. CBD, combined with viable cosmetic formulas developed by experienced chemists, could potentially revolutionize the topical approach to skincare, haircare and body care, Johnson said.
A 2017 report suggests that the global personal care product market is bound to grow to $650.1 billion by 2024 (http://ibn.fm/QYIwv). The face mask market alone is forecast to register an increase of $8 billion by 2020.
LYXR’s initial distribution will target existing distribution networks in the U.S. Product developers believe that the scientifically-proven benefits of CBD will enable cosmetics developers to enter a new era marked by innovative proprietary formulas.
Based in Los Angeles, California, Cannabis Strategic Ventures focuses on supporting entrepreneurial growth within the legal cannabis industry. The company has a selective portfolio of subsidiaries aimed at offering outsourced personnel solutions that are tailor-made to address the needs of various companies specializing in the sector, including cultivators, dispensaries, manufacturers and other cannabis market areas.
True Promise Beauty was founded by Gail Johnson, an Emmy-nominated makeup artist. Johnson’s primary aim was to develop high quality products that even actors and actresses could use to get instantaneous skin rejuvenation. The company has well-established distribution channels with companies such as L’Oréal (OTC: LRLCY), Beauty Systems Group and Salon Centric.
