MissionIRNewsBreaks – Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX.V: OGI) (NASDAQ: OGI) Gains Media Attention Following Four Profitable Quarters


Organigram Holdings (TSX.V: OGI) (NASDAQ: OGI), the parent company of Organigram Inc., a leading licensed producer of cannabis, recently received coverage in a Bloomberg article discussing OGI’s financial results for the last four quarters (http://ibn.fm/BUMhB). An article further discussing the company reads, “Organigram’s Q3 and fiscal year-to-date results represent some of the strongest operating and financial metrics amongst Canadian licensed producers. With one of the lowest cultivation costs per gram and continued discipline on selling, general and administrative expenses, Organigram’s results place it in the top tier of the Canadian industry. . . . As per the Bloomberg article, Organigram’s sustainable profitability is an outlier due to the fact that the industry has been experiencing some negative developments. Regulatory measures have been undertaken in Canada against some of the cultivators to ensure compliance. Other firms have been registering lower than expected sales, significant negative-adjusted EBITDA and shrinking margins in recent quarters.”

The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) Enters Recreational Cannabis Market, Fulfills Shipment to Ontario Cannabis Store


  • The Green Organic Dutchman is a cannabis-focused research and development company
  • The company recently completed its inaugural shipment to the Ontario Cannabis Store, marking its entry into the recreational cannabis market
  • TGOD continues to explore strategic worldwide opportunities
The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) is a leading producer of premium, certified-organic cannabis. Licensed to cultivate medical cannabis under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR), the company produces organic medical cannabis in small batches using all-natural, organic, craft-growing principles. TGOD recently entered into the recreational cannabis market, where consumers are seeking a premium organic product.

With head offices in Mississauga, Ontario, TGOD has a planned capacity of 219,000 kilograms and is building 1,643,600 square feet of cultivation and processing facilities across Ontario, Quebec, Jamaica and Denmark. TGOD cultivates its cannabis in a proprietary living soil, without irradiation and in accordance with all-natural principles. The company’s growing process has earned organic certification from Pro-Cert and ECOCERT, both of which are leading organic certification organizations (http://ibn.fm/ZS9Ui).

TGOD’s hybrid facilities offer key advantages over outdoor, indoor and greenhouse facilities. Those advantages include advanced humidity, temperature and overall environmental controls relative to traditional greenhouses. Advantages also include highly automated and positive-pressure rooms that lessen the chance of contaminants.

TGOD recently completed its inaugural shipment to the Ontario Cannabis Store, officially marking the company’s entrance into Canada’s recreational market. In today’s increasingly competitive cannabis market, consumers are developing distinct preferences, especially for organic products. A recent study indicated that over 50 percent of consumers are looking for their cannabis to be organic (http://ibn.fm/MahYL), and Ontario consumers are now able to experience TGOD’s acclaimed Unite Organic dried flower. The company’s high-THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) signature strain is available on www.OCS.ca and at select retail locations across the province of Ontario (http://ibn.fm/IoeTF).

“We are thrilled to introduce Unite Organic dried flower to Ontario adult consumers,” TGOD CEO Brian Athaide stated in a news release. “Launched earlier this year with our Grower’s Circle, Unite Organic was highly praised by medical patients. Our small pilot confirmed that market demand for premium certified organic cannabis exceeds available supply.”

In addition, TGOD continues to provide its products to its medicinal patients throughout Canada. TGOD products were initially available only to a small group of medical patients known as the Grower’s Circle. Subsequently, the company also signed supply agreements with the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia.

Growing to scale, TGOD has unique partnerships in place. The company’s partners include international power-management company Eaton Corp., which provides research and optimization that will enable TGOD to have some of the lowest electricity input costs in the business. This is an essential step in the company’s plan to become one of the lowest-cost producers in Canada. Eaton designed TGOD’s power-management system, and TGOD purchases its power from HCE Energy, owned by the city of Hamilton, Ontario. TGOD utilizes Hydro-Quebec in Valleyfield. The company has another key partnership with construction-management firm Ledcor. The focus of this partnership is on ensuring logistical and infrastructure controls. Ledcor specializes in project and construction management, preconstruction services, design-build and general contracting. TGOD’s alliance partners, which also include Neptune, Mediakos and Symrise AG, are industry leaders, enabling the company to achieve its energy and production goals.

TGOD continues to focus on becoming the largest organic cannabis company in the world. By taking advantage of innovative technology and low-cost power solutions, the company offers investors the potential for substantial ROI. With its proven management team, TGOD is positioned for continued expansion and sales across North America, Latin America and Europe, especially considering its recent entry into the recreational cannabis market

Organigram Holdings Inc.’s (TSX: OGI) (NASDAQ: OGI) Commitment to Corporate Governance, Fiscal Discipline a ‘Rarity in the Industry’


  • Organigram’s corporate governance distinguishes the company in the cannabis industry
  • OGI’s consistent financial performance positions it as an “anomaly in the Canadian cannabis market”
  • The company recently upgraded from the TSX Venture Exchange to the Toronto Stock Exchange
Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX: OGI) (NASDAQ: OGI), the parent company of Organigram Inc., a leading Canadian licensed producer (LP) of premium-quality cannabis and extract-based products, is focused on producing high-quality, indoor-grown cannabis for patients and adult-recreational consumers. Championing that cause is Organigram’s leadership team, a group of seasoned professionals on the forefront of the global cannabis market who bring decades of experience in consumer-packaged goods, and pharma, including a CEO who held the same position at Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY) before joining Organigram. In addition, the company’s fiscal discipline and execution, as well as its solid corporate governance foundation, distinguish it while some other LPs have met mild to severe consequences for regulatory breaches.

Bloomberg noted that OGI has a fully independent board of directors (excluding CEO Greg Engel), which is a rarity in the cannabis sector. The CEO sees good corporate governance as essential to a well-run pot company. “This is an industry that’s still very much moving from founders and executives being chairmen or multiple insiders on boards,” Engel told Bloomberg (http://ibn.fm/paDcr). “I think some of the challenges we’ve seen in the industry have been because of a lack of governance. You have to have independent governance that has oversight and holds management accountable.”

Along with the company’s impressive corporate governance comes its equally notable — and consistent — financial performance. This is likely due to its team’s adherence to fiscal discipline, something that can be difficult to find in this industry. Bloomberg noted that, with four quarters of profitability under its belt, Organigram Holdings is “an anomaly in the Canadian cannabis market.”

“Organigram has higher margins than most of its peers and one of the lowest costs per gram in the industry even though it grows indoors, generally considered the most expensive method of production,” the report stated. “Chief Executive Officer Greg Engel attributes this to its ability to get higher yields from its pot plants than companies that grow in greenhouses, as well as its automated packaging lines. No other large Canadian pot producer has managed to post such a long string of positive EBITDA.”

In addition, the company recently uplisted to the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) from the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX.V) under the symbol ‘OGI’.

“Graduating to the TSX is a significant milestone for us as a corporation,” Engel stated in a news release (http://ibn.fm/g63Gj). “Our stakeholders have an eye on this marketplace, and this graduation will broaden our reach within the investment community and encourage new investors to learn more about our business, our growth plans and corporate objectives.”

As a result of many of these developments, OGI has attracted significant attention. OGI was deemed a “compelling cannabis stock to buy in August” in a recent article distributed by The Motley Fool (http://ibn.fm/3jeGk). “I continue to view the long-term prospects for Organigram in a favorable light,” contributor Keith Speights wrote. “Other Canadian cannabis producers get a lot more hype right now, but Organigram could be a rising star that will attract plenty of attention in the near future. What I really like about Organigram is that its management team exercises fiscal discipline, which is kind of a rarity in the industry.”

Organigram’s primary facility is located in Moncton, New Brunswick, and the company is regulated by the Cannabis Act and the Cannabis Regulations (Canada). Organigram has sales in all 10 Canadian provinces. The company has developed a portfolio of legal, adult-use recreational cannabis brands, including The Edison Cannabis Company, Ankr Organics, Trailer Park Buds and Trailblazer. Additionally, it delivers industry-leading yields and maximizes quality-cannabis production at one of the lowest cultivation costs per gram* among publicly reporting Canadian LPs. Organigram is committed to translating operational excellence into strong financial results and return on investment for shareholders.

* Cultivation cost per gram is a non-IFRS measure. Please see the Company’s latest MD&A.

MissionIRNewsBreaks – Pressure BioSciences Inc. (PBIO) Secures Agreement with Prominent Biotherapeutics Firm


Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB: PBIO), a leader in the development and sale of broadly enabling, pressure-based technology and products to the worldwide life-sciences and other industries, recently executed a contract services agreement with a well-known biotherapeutics firm. An article discussing the company reads, “Under the terms of the agreement, the firm will utilize PBIO’s proprietary BaroFold(TM) technology platform to enhance the process manufacturing of one of its candidate protein drugs (http://ibn.fm/aidN2). . . . PBIO’s BaroFold technology platform offers a unique and cost-effective way to address the complex and often-challenging process of manufacturing the recombinant proteins that are required in the development of protein-based drugs. Two of the major challenges associated with manufacturing recombinant proteins are (1) the formation of aggregates and (2) protein misfolding. These are significant issues that can prevent a protein drug candidate from ever making it to market.”

About Pressure BioSciences Inc.

Pressure BioSciences (OTCQB: PBIO) is a leader in the development and sale of innovative, broadly enabling, pressure-based solutions for the worldwide life-sciences industry. The company’s products are based on the unique properties of both constant (i.e., static) and alternating (i.e., pressure cycling technology, or “PCT”) hydrostatic pressure. PCT is a patented-enabling technology platform that uses alternating cycles of hydrostatic pressure between ambient and ultra-high levels to safely and reproducibly control biomolecular interactions (e.g., cell lysis, biomolecule extraction). PBIO’s primary focus is in the development of PCT-based products for biomarker and target discovery, drug design and development, biotherapeutics characterization and quality control, soil and plant biology, forensics and counter-bioterror applications. Additionally, major new market opportunities have emerged in the use of the company’s pressure-based technologies in the following areas: (1) the use of its recently acquired PreEMT technology from BaroFold Inc. to allow entry into the biologics-contract, research-services sector, and (2) the use of its recently patented, scalable, high-efficiency, pressure-based Ultra Shear Technology (“UST”) platform to (i) create stable nanoemulsions of otherwise immiscible fluids (e.g., oils and water) and (ii) prepare higher-quality, homogenized, extended shelf-life or room-temperature stable, low-acid liquid foods that cannot be effectively preserved using existing nonthermal technologies.

Earth Science Tech Inc. (ETST) Launches Home Detection Kit Aimed at Improving Women’s Health

  • Women’s health and access to medical amenities are huge concerns in both developed and developing nations
  • ETST’s wholly owned subsidiary, Earth Science Pharm Inc., is dedicated to research, with a goal of eradicating STIs
  • The company has launched Hygee, its home detection kits for screening STIs
Earth Science Tech Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) is a Florida-based biotech company engaged in the production of premium-quality industrial hemp and cannabis/cannabidiol (CBD) products. ETST offers 100 percent organic and pure CBD oil, which is made using the supercritical CO2 liquid-extraction process.
An innovative product aimed at improving women’s ability to self-screen for STIs was recently released by one of ETST’s subsidiaries. This kit, known as the Hygee, has the potential to revolutionize the arena of sexual health, empowering women through its innovative design.
Earth Science Pharma Inc., one of three wholly owned subsidiaries of ETST, is an emerging medical-research company engaged in the development of low-cost medical devices, testing processes, noninvasive diagnostic tools and vaccines for sexually transmitted infections and/or diseases (http://ibn.fm/WJSKk). The company’s research and development efforts are being conducted under the guidance and leadership of CEO and Chief Science Officer Michel Aube.
Earth Science Pharma is specifically focusing on developing and bringing to market medical devices and vaccines that focus on improving the health of women. Women’s health and access to medical amenities are huge concerns in both developed and developing nations. The company recently launched MSN-2, its first medical device, as a part of its initiative to meet the medical needs of women.
MSN-2 is a home kit designed for the detection of STIs, such as chlamydia, from a self-obtained gynecological specimen. ETST named this innovative kit Hygee, after the French goddess of health (http://ibn.fm/ZQ2Zf). Hygee is a home-detection kit used for screening of STIs from a self-obtained gynecological specimen (http://ibn.fm/YLKCE). The kit includes a modified pantyliner, which is used to collect a sample of human cells that is sent to be analyzed in a laboratory using proven technology.
With MSN-2, modified pantyliners are worn by women for a duration of four hours – long enough to collect the specimen needed for laboratory tests. This kit can be ordered online and provides women with the ease of conducting tests in comfortable environments. Testing for STIs is essential for pregnant women, who must be screened for chlamydia infections to reduce the risk of transmitting the disease to their babies during childbirth.
The first production run of Hygee is underway, and initial marketing will target North America, South America, Asia and Africa. The company will package Hygee in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Vietnamese and Arabic in order to reach a wide audience of consumers.
“No other existing method of collecting genital specimens from women is more convenient or more efficient than Hygee,” Aube added in a news release (http://ibn.fm/kdJJ1). “With roughly 130 million new chlamydia cases diagnosed yearly, according to the [World Health Organization], Hygee is dedicated to this area of women’s health.”
