As well, we’re currently in the process of redomiciling On4 Communications in the State of Colorado and delivering on our earlier promise of reducing ONCI’s Authorized Shares.”

He added that their reported Q1 revenues only represent the initial FMS purchase orders which began to flow into On4 Communications at the end of November 2016.

Amfil Technologies Inc (OTCMKTS:AMFE) Shares To Keep Gaining Ground

Amfil Technologies Inc (OTCMKTS:AMFE) Shares To Keep Gaining Ground

Mar 15, 2017

Amfil Technologies Inc (OTCMKTS:AMFE) shares advanced 11.83% on Tuesday to $0.0189 and were unchanged in after-hours trading. Share prices have been trading in a 52-week range of $0.00 to $0.03. The company has a market cap of $14.52 million at 791.92 million shares outstanding.

Amfil Technologies Inc is a company that operates through its subsidiary, Interloc-Kings Inc, which offers landscape construction and snow removal services in Canada. It also supplies and installs residential and commercial hardscape construction projects, including interlocking stone driveways, walkways, back patio’s, retaining walls and steps, fences, decks and pools, among others during the summer season. Interloc also provides residential winter services in Markham, including winter maintenance services.

The company also owns the rights to Medium Scale Prospecting Mining Permits to over nine sites totaling approximately 10,300 acres in Guyana for exploration of gold. It holds approximately 50% interest in mPact-GROZONE Antimicrobial Systems with distribution rights across the world. The company’s other subsidiaries include Snakes & Lagers Inc. and Snakes & Lattes Inc., which operate board game themed bars and cafes in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

In a press release, Amfil Technologies Inc shared that the GROzone product line recently received a positive review from Pennsylvania Certified Organic allowing their clients to use it in organic production. Pennsylvania Certified Organics certification program is accredited by the USDA for compliance with the National Organic Program, even as the USDA currently does not recognize it as a crop that can be organically grown or called certified organic just yet.

Still, being allowed to use this product line for any and all forms of what is currently deemed agricultural production is reassuring as marijuana cultivators that want to follow organic practices essentially follow the National Organic Program guidelines. Alternate certifications are currently being developed for the industry.

Also, achieving this certified status allows producers such as Amfil Technologies Inc to charge a premium for “Clean” or “Organic” products. Aside from that, it helps ensure that the producer or manufacturer will never have product recall or product failure due to any elevated levels of harmful ingredients used throughout the grow process that can make them susceptible to liability from the consumer. After all, some reports have revealed that residual pesticide in marijuana led to product recalls and lawsuits recently.

Originally developed in 2014, GROzone is a triple-function sanitization unit capable of naturally eliminating 99.9% of water and airborne pathogens. A unit can also regulate a given facility’s water supply, oxygenating the water and maintaining a consistent PPM infusion of ozone that prevents the formation of algae, bacteria or mold, eliminating the need for pesticides or carcinogenic products.

1PM Industries Inc (OTCMKTS:OPMZ) Investors Cheer New Business Model

1PM Industries Inc (OTCMKTS:OPMZ) Investors Cheer New Business Model

Mar 9, 2017

1PM Industries Inc (OTCMKTS:OPMZ) shares were up 12% on Wednesday to $0.00280 and unchanged in after-hours trading. Share prices have been trading in a 52-week range of $0.00 to $0.38. The company has a market cap of $551K at 165.50 million shares outstanding.

Formerly known as Torrent Energy Corp, 1PM Industries Inc is a company that is focused on the sale and distribution of medical marijuana under the brand Von Baron Farms. It sells various products, including Cookie Spread, Peanut Butter, CBD Cookie Spread, CBD Mango Shot, THC Shot, Combo Shot, and Pancake and Waffle Batter. The Company distributes its Von Baron Farms product at www.vonbaronfarms.com. The company sells its products in approximately 40 dispensaries.

1PM Industries Inc is also in the process of selling its Von Baron Farms product line in non-medical marijuana product line through Amazon and eBay. It is also engaged in the development of a CBD product line. The company developed a line health and wellness products under the NewGenica brand, under which it developed four products including AquaTrim, DreamTrim, Eat & Trim and D-Tox 15. The company purchases the products from a third-party manufacturer who private labels health and wellness products.

In a press release, 1PM Industries Inc announced that it has transitioned into a new business model in the best interest of the company and the shareholders.

For years the management team of 1pm Industries has done one thing in particular very successfully and that’s helping private companies achieve publicly traded status.  There is significant revenue generated from the process of taking a company public with multiple revenue streams being generated from each account,” said CEO Joseph Wades. “Had we remained on our former business trajectory, it would have taken all year or more to generate the revenue that we recently generated from just one client.  Instead of continuing our efforts as a private endeavor, we have decided to roll all of our activities related to helping private companies achieve publicly traded status into 1PM Industries Inc and that will become our primary focus for the long term.”

Wades went on to say that he wants shareholders to know that this is an extremely positive move for the company as they have 18 years of experience helping companies to go public and generated $1.3 million on just one client contract, based on their latest 8K filing. With that, he expressed confidence about reaching revenue of $4 million this year up to $6 million.

I would like to reassure everyone that under no circumstances will we initiate a reverse split for any reason in the foreseeable future.  What would be more likely to occur at this point would be a reduction in the authorized shares and that is currently under consideration.  Also, as of today, for clarification, we currently have 244,948,828 shares outstanding with 137,246,677 shares in the float.  We look forward to providing more information on our current business activities in the next few weeks and as always, we thank you for your support,” he concluded.

Halitron is an equity investment holding company that is focused on implementing an acquisition roll-up model of acquiring high growth sales and marketing businesses. The company is structured with two Strategic Business Units: Sales & Marketing Division and a Manufacturing Division. It is focused on acquisition targets that provide sales, marketing, and manufacturing services and products.

Its portfolio holding include CinchSigns, NDG Holdings, Inc., Teknik Digital Arts, Inc. and Archival Museum Supplies.

The company is also focused on acquiring bankrupt, distressed or insolvent companies where it can acquire the business inexpensively and then roll the assets into its infrastructure.

In a press release this week, Halitron announced that the company closed on the $300,000.00 in financing needed to  boost revenue of its four existing legacy brands to between $3-5 million annually. This is in the form of a non-toxic one year credit facility whereby the company may draw down minimum increments of $5,000, up to a total of $300,000, which carries an annual interest rate of 8%. This means that the debt thereunder is not convertible into equity at a discount to prevailing market prices.

Today we are drawing down our first tranche of capital and are excited to implement our strategic plan,” cited Bernard Findley, Halitron CEO.

The company recently engaged Freidman LLP to perform an audit of Halitron in preparation for listing on the OTCQB market. This is expected to be completed by the end of the month, followed by the filing of an annual report with the SEC to be listed on the OTCQB as a fully reporting company by mid-year 2017.

Lastly, Halitron shared that it is in the final stages of a spin out and merger transaction that has been in the works for the past three months. To be specific, two of its brands are in the process of being spun out into an online social marketing or digital storage company, which is currently a public company. With this, shareholders are expected to receive a stock dividend of 40 shares of the new company’s common stock for every 1,000 shares of Halitron common stock owned, subject to review and approval by FINRA.

Advaxis Inc (NASDAQ:ADXS) Enters Licensing Agreement with SELLAS

Advaxis Inc (NASDAQ:ADXS) Enters Licensing Agreement with SELLAS

Feb 28, 2017

Advaxis Inc (NASDAQ:ADXS) shares rose 6.74% on Monday to $9.03 and an additional 1.88% to $9.20 in after-hours trading. Share prices have been trading in a 52-week range of $5.45 to $16.30. The company has a market cap of $357.65 million at 40.12 million shares outstanding.

Advaxis Inc is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm)-Listeriolysin O (LLO) cancer immunotherapies. These immunotherapies are based on a platform technology that utilizes live attenuated Lm bioengineered to secrete antigen/adjuvant fusion proteins.

These Lm-LLO strains integrate multiple functions into a single immunotherapy as they access and direct antigen presenting cells to stimulate anti-tumor T-cell immunity, stimulate and activate the immune system with the equivalent of multiple adjuvants, and simultaneously reduce tumor protection in the tumor microenvironment to enable the T-cells to eliminate tumors. Axalimogene filolisbac is its lead Lm-LLO immunotherapy product candidate for the treatment of Human Papilloma Virus-associated cancers. ADXS-PSA is its Lm-LLO immunotherapy product candidate that targets the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) associated with prostate cancer.

In a press release, Advaxis Inc shared that it granted SELLAS a license to develop a novel cancer immunotherapy agent using Advaxis’ proprietary Lm-based antigen delivery technology with SELLAS’ patented WT1 targeted heteroclitic peptide antigen mixture. This combination has the potential to precisely direct an immune response, yielding improved clinical activity against many cancer types that express WT1. SELLAS’ future clinical studies will investigate this capability in the presence of measurable residual or recurrent disease.

WT1 is one of the most widely expressed cancer antigens and was named a top target for cancer immunotherapy by the National Cancer Institute,” said Daniel J. O’Connor, President and Chief Executive Officer of Advaxis Inc. “SELLAS’ proprietary galinpepimut-S therapy has already demonstrated clinical benefit and a strong immune response against WT1 expressing cancer cells. We believe that the use of our proprietary Lm-based antigen delivery technology with SELLAS’ proprietary technology could result in a very compelling WT1-targeted cancer immunotherapy.”

Under this agreement, Advaxis Inc will conduct all pre-clinical activities required for an IND filing then SELLAS will be responsible for all clinical development and commercial activities. Advaxis Inc will receive future payments of up to $358 million from SELLAS if certain development, regulatory, and commercial milestones are met.

The combined Advaxis-SELLAS Lm-WT1 active immunotherapy candidate has the potential to deliver SELLAS’ WT1 proprietary peptide antigens in a novel way, taking advantage of our antigen’s ability to target a wide variety of tumors of diverse immune system HLA genotypes. The delivery afforded by the Advaxis technology expands upon our current programs and should substantially enhance the clinical utility seen with galinpepimut-S, and eventually, the cancer immunotherapy armamentarium for a variety of tumors,” added Angelos Stergiou, MD, ScD h.c., Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SELLAS.
