KODK

Why has it gone down?

Marketwatch recently wrote the following, “Some business executives have profited handsomely from the practice of earning “spring-loaded” stock options that take advantage of information not available to the public, but U.S. regulators on Monday announced plans to put a stop to it.

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued new guidance for companies on how to reflect the potential value of spring-loaded options when they disclose how much top executives actually earn.

Spring-loaded awards are a type of compensation in which a company grants stock options shortly before it announces market-moving information, such as an stronger-than-expected earnings release or disclosure of important transactions. The options have the potential to soar in value once the news is made public.”

Eastman Kodak Company NYSE: KODK Technical Analysis:

Can Kodak NYSE: KODK stay above $4.00, and perhaps consolidate there after it’s little run and reversal? If so, that would be a decent signal. The other option is that it continues the slide it did at the end of today and trades in between $3.70 and $3.85 and consolidates there.

The other two options are: Bullish move or a continued bearish trend. A double confirmation of a reversal would be the stock sliding past $4.15 PPS. That would be a buy signal in my opinion.

Falling below $3.75 is a clear sign that KODK is continuing a bearish trend.

In the second chart you can see the pull back/sell off is still supported around $6.50 which is promising for the future. Make sure it stays above $6.10.

Exchange: NASDAQ

Company Summary:

A team of experienced data scientists, data engineers, developers and designers, ready to help you build your web and mobile application

Why did it go up over 100%?

Bit Brother Limited share price is up 86% in the last month. But has been plagued with 5 years of declines. So why has it started to bounce back? Big News? No. The only reason we see for the increase is a modest increase in revenue which means this stock should not be increasing share price as much as it has in this month based on the modest increases in revenue. Be aware!

Technical Analysis:

Bit Brother Limited share price is in worse shape than it was before the massive run of over 150% with nominal news. We see this everyday in the market, stocks get over bought and then without fail, the stocks come plumitting. This is no different and we are not optimistic in the short term with Bit Brother.

UPDATE:4 Reasons LGIQ Continues To Run Higher, Logiq, Inc. (NEO-LGIQ) (OTCQX-LGIQ)

Here are 4 exciting reasons to stop what you are doing and read this short research article on Logiq, Inc. (NEO-LGIQ) (OTCQX-LGIQ)

  1. Logiq’s News is explosive!
  2. They have an experienced leadership team
  3. The stock is Highly Undervalued
  4. The stock is ready for another possible big move!

Before we get into the those 4 exciting reasons to put LGIQ on your watchlist, let’s do a quick update on the news!

Jan. 27, 2022 

Announced it has completed the transfer of its AppLogiq assets into Lovarra (OTC: LOVA), a fully reporting U.S. public company.

The transfer completes the previously announced separation of Logiq’s DataLogiq and AppLogiq businesses into two publicly traded companies. The AppLogiq assets include CreateApp™, an award-winning software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that enables small and medium-sized businesses worldwide to easily create and deploy a native mobile app for their business. AppLogiq also includes platforms for mobile payments and delivery services designed for emerging markets, as well as licenses of its technologies to industry partners.

Jan 13, 2022

Preannounced Q4 revenues of $12.3 million, coming in well above our November estimate of $8.8 million. Although company did not give the breakdown between AppLogiq and DataLogiq, we believe both businesses had a strong quarter. For one, we know that DataLogiq had great results in providing Medicare sales leads and is even working to expand the sales leads business, investigating adding call center capabilities. In addition, the company announced it had achieved gross margins in excess of 34% for the quarter. These results show year over year revenue growth of 87% and a doubling of gross margin dollars.

For the year Logiq will report revenues of approximately $36.5 million a decline of 3.7% and a double of its gross margin to approximately 30.6% versus 16.8% in 2020. As a result we are raising 2021 numbers as well as 2022. For 2022 we are increasing to $44 million in sales while keeping the loss the same. We will revisit estimates when the financials for the spin out are released.

Nov. 08, 2021 

Has been invited to present at the ROTH 10th Annual Technology Event being held virtually on November 17-18.

Logiq president, Brent Suen, scheduled to present and participate in one-on-one meetings with institutional analysts and investors at the conference.

Management will discuss the company’s recently announced plan to separate AppLogiq™ and DataLogiq™ into two publicly traded companies to capitalize on their respective growth opportunities in the rapidly evolving global e-commerce and fintech landscape.

Preannounced Q4 revenues of $12.3 million, Now, That Is Incredible News!

Company Name: Logiq

Ticker: {NEO: LGIQ} (OTCQX: LGIQ)

Company Summary:  Let’s start with the fancy jargon, “Logiq is a global provider of marketing solutions for Ecommerce, m-commerce (mobile commerce), and fintech solutions.”

Now let us break down in layman terms what all of that mumbo jumbo really means.

Logiq is BIG, really big, in fact they are reaching into the WORLD market. They are in ASIA, In North America and everywhere in between.

They offer solutions to small and medium sized companies who are trying to sell you something online. For example, all those advertisements following you around Facebook, Instagram and even news articles, that is Logiq and their competitors.

M-commerce (mobile commerce) is a fancy term for an app (application) on your phone (mobile) that gives the user the ability to make a small business website on their phone! Yes you can make a full website on your phone in the waiting room of your doctor’s office. Pretty cool!

Fintech Solutions, the “Fin” in Fintech stands for financial. The “tech” in Fintech stands for technology. So, they offer solutions in the financial sector via technology.

Logiq has all the right building blocks for an explosive play! TAKE A LOOK NOW!

There are 4 Key Units Driving Logiq’s Impressive Financial Numbers!

Logiq Inc. (NEO-LGIQ) (OTCQX-LGIQ), operates four key units:

1. DataLogiq – Here comes the Jargon, “is designed for ad generation and Ecommerce marketing solution” Ok, ad generation is found below, it is found on sports illustrated and is an ad

This ad is following me around because my dog is a jack A$# that doesnt listen and I’ve been searching for services and products so I don’t murder him. So the advertisement found above, understands that I have a jerk for a dog and will continue to show me things to buy.

E-commerce, means any attempt to buy and sell goods or services (commerce) online (e). Any platform that is found online, including websites (native) & Facebook (social media) that has an advertisement on it, is considered an e-commerce platform.

DataLogiq is a technology that allows small to medium size businesses to gain access to data (statistics) to help decide what platform (facebook) to run advertisements on to capture conversions (a purchase).

2. AppLogiq – which is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution for SMBs to deploy native mobile apps for their businesses that come complete with mobile payments.

Wowzers, that is a lot of fancy words! PaaS platform as a service is fancy talk for an app (platform) as a service, self explanatory, the app offers a service.

Example, if you know a millennial, they have photo editing applications on their phone, so they can look completely different on instagram, LOL. The app (platform), offers a service (photo editing).

The service that AppLogiq offers is the ability to build a website on your phone with the AppLogiq app. It comes complete with the ability to accept payment right from your very own small business website built with your smartphone.

3. Fixel – delivers AI-driven engagement segmentation by analyzing user interactions on a company’s website, fixel learns consumer behavior and then delivers the data the company needs to create valuable audiences.

Let me break that down for you, when a person goes to a website they use a tracking pixel, similar to a jealous husband that puts a GPS tracker in his wife’s car.

The company, like the jealous husband,  can follow your patterns of buying things. This information is then run through artificial intelligence to create audiences (larger groups) based on the data.

Best example, the more you use Netflix, the more the (AI) can predict what you will WANT to watch next. Yes it can sound creepy but it is also very convenient.

So they can market to more people just like that user. Hence, more data, more efficiency and more buyers.

4. Pay&GoLogiq – this unit handles credit and payment points, payments using QR codes, and powers the company’s AtoZ Go food delivery service.

This one is written in almost common language. Here is a little more clarification, all ecommerce stores need to process payments via credit card on their website, Logiq offers that solution.

FOUR Exciting reasons to stop what you are doing and read this short research article on Logiq Inc. (NEO-LGIQ) (OTCQX-LGIQ)

The News is explosive!

This is Why Koios is a Leader and Continues with Massive Growth

This is Why Koios is a Leader and Continues with Massive Growth

Ok… We have to start to get serious about a proven industry that’s in the beginning stages of making an extreme change…

Remember about a little over a decade ago when energy drinks exploded overnight and we were seeing new energy drinks coupled with strong marketing seemingly popping up out of nowhere?

You had your Red Bull girls, your Monsters, your Rockstars, your Amps, and a number of other little ones all touting “explosive energy in a can brah!” Whether it was the addictive nature of 200mgs of caffeine and 50gs of sugar per can, the quality marketing, or simply the fact that the big soda staples have been feeding us the same flavord beverage since the early 1900’s, no one could deny that these new drinks were something that the buying population wanted.

These drinks are more expensive than the average carbonated beverage but that didn’t stop consumers from purchasing because these consumers were already looking for a beverage in the healthier direction and boy did these new energy drinks try to market themselves as the new healthier alternative.

Well, ten years later, it’s 2019, the money for the marketing gimmicks has dried up, the taste never improved, and most importantly, the customers have gotten smarter.

The problem for the energy drink industry is that they didn’t deliver on what was potentially a huge chunk of the market. Further, their drinks were essentially sugar and caffeine in a can. They were marketed as being healthier than a can of coke but they weren’t. In many cases, they were worse. And once the consumers figured it out, they left in droves.

But there’s no question that people still want energy in hand. Just go to any Starbucks and see consumer after consumer suck down cup after cup of coffee just to get a hit of it.

Consumers just demanded that the product be healthy, light on the caffeine and sugar, offer brain support, and all around be a drink that boosts performance. – You know, kind of what the energy drinks of the previous decade marketed? – Is that too much to ask?…

Perhaps in 2009, but not anymore…

Enter the world of biohacking and nootropics, which is a class of natural occurring ingredients that switch on your brain and boost mental performance.

Nootropics are supplements that purport to make us smarter. 

Natural nootropics include ingredients like artichoke extract, grape seed extract, ginseng, kava kava, lemon balm, Rhodiola rosea, St John’s wort, yerba mate, caffeine, green tea — substances the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved as dietary supplements and classifies as GRAS (generally regarded as safe).

Natural nootropics also include synthetic additives such as choline, griffonia seed extract, theanine, acetyl l-carnitine, B group vitamins, iodine and magnesium just to name a few.

Followers of the nootropic movement, myself included, are adamant of the positive effects. They claim regular consumption could lead to consumers being more alert, getting a boost in memory, increased focus, more creativity, motivation, improved cognitive skills and a better overall outlook on life.

What’s more is that this industry is in the process of pivoting directly into the beverage market at almost exactly the perfect time as a slew of new beverages that contain various combinations of nootropics designed to enhance brain function, with added ingredients that have no jittery side-effects, and, (hint hint) our favorite play has even started the process of adding CBD to further enhance the health experience.

The point is, these beverages are the real deal. They’re everything that the average consumer of more high-end beverages has been hoping for and I believe that these nootropic functional beverages are the future of the entire beverage industry.

Because the fact of the matter is this; beverage companies won’t survive if they ignore the evolution of the consumer for much longer. Consumers are more educated in their dietary choices today and they’ve been on the lookout for healthier beverage alternatives to the high-fructose corn syrup, artificial ingredients, and artificial colors of the beverages of the past.

I mean, what the hell are you putting an ingredient called: Yellow Number 5 into a beverage and actually expect people to drink that trash?

The point here is that this ongoing trend shows us that the beverage industry is ripe for a category killer. 

In fact, according to BevNet, the beverage industry has experienced half a decade-long decline in sales of traditional sugary soft drinks, forcing major beverage companies to look at other beverage companies in search of acquisition to replace their lagging sales.

And we’ve got one such nootropic beverage company at the top of our watch list that has our near complete attention because we believe it to be the one that has the best opportunity to be a category killer in the market.

The company’s name is Koios Beverage Corp. trading on the OTC under the ticker: KBEVF. 

Koios Beverage Corp. develops, manufactures, markets, and distributes nutritional supplements and organic beverages in the United States. It also provides cannabis-infused beverages. As of May 31, 2018, the company had a distribution network of approximately 4,300 retail locations in the United States. It also distributes its products through its website, as well as through other websites.

Due to the functional properties of their nootropic drinks, their lack of the caffeine-crash, and honest to goodness incredible taste, I believe that Koios could become the next big thing in the functional beverage market and eventually displace the old and outdated energy drinks of yesteryear and take the lead in future sales.

They’re already in large retail chain stores such as Walmart and GNC and already have a strong presence on Amazon. They’ve achieved distribution in a total of more than 4,300 stores in less than one year, including 2,910 GNC locations and 1,094 Walmart locations across the United States.

But what truly sets Koios apart from any other functional beverage drink is their creativity and open willingness to invent something truly unique. As of July 19, 2019, through its subsidiary, Cannavated Beverage Corp, Koios has completed development of its CBD-Enhanced functional and began test batch production.

Koios is the real deal and I personally love their drinks. Let’s dive deeper into Koios by going over its key catalysts.

Key Catalysts:

  • The company is making big moves in multiple explosive industries: 
    • The global nootropic market is booming. In 2015, the market was valued at $1.35 billion and is expected to reach over $6 billion by 2024.
      • The market is expanding at a CAGR of 17.9% from 2016 to 2024 according to globalnewswire.com.
    • Koios is also utilizing its subsidiary, Cannavated Beverage Corp by becoming the first “nootropic” beverages enhanced with CBD cannabidiol molecules.
      • The CBD market is expected to hit $22Billion by 2022 according to inc.com.
    • In 2016, while carbonated soft drinks were in the middle of a five-year decline, natural and functional beverages should expect to see a 40 percent dollar growth in the industry according to BevNet.
  • Aggressive Expansion
    • As of early 2019, Koios announced that it signed a vendor agreement with Walmart Inc., and has since been supplying Koios Beverages to 1,094 Walmart locations across the US.
    • Koios also secured an agreement in early 2019 with GNC. According to the agreement, their beverages are now available for purchase in approximately 2,700 GNC retail stores across the US.

The Nootropic Market & Functional Beverages

According to the latest report published by Credence Research, Inc. “Nootropics Market – Growth, Future Prospects and Competitive Analysis, 2016-2024,” the global nootropics market was valued at USD 1,346.5 Mn in 2015, and is expected to reach USD 6,059.4 Mn by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of 17.9% from 2016 to 2024.

With expansion projected like that, this is a market that’s worth our attention and we ought to be in the know on all the recent developments in this market as well. This is where Nootropic beverages come in because they are the cutting edge in the Nootropics market.

Nootropic beverages are under the umbrella of the booming multi-billion dollar category of “Functional Beverages.”

A functional beverage is a non-alcoholic drink which provides specific health benefits and contains non-traditional ingredients like minerals, vitamins, herbs, amino acids or added raw fruits.

Basically, it’s a drink augmented with nutrients and/or supplements in order to convey a health benefit to the consumer. Examples of functional beverages include sports and performance drinks, ready to drink (RTD) teas, and nootropic beverages sometimes known as ‘smart drinks’.

Functional drinks are typically more expensive than carbonated beverages due to their shift away from unhealthy and artificial ingredients. However, increasing health awareness in many countries is encouraging consumers to shift from beverages loaded with high-fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors and artificial colors to healthier alternatives in the functional drinks segment, which is expected to boost the demand for the product.

In a press release dated September 4, 2018 , the Company announced its plans to release a functional beverage, which would be infused with CBD to enhance the beverage’s effects and last week test batch production began.

Koios will leverage its existing relationship with Colorado based Keef Brands in the development of this product, with Keef Brands to supply crystalized, water-soluble CBD which will be added to Koios’ existing Fit SodaTM line of functional beverages. 

From the corporate update: The Fit SodaTM beverage product will be produced for nationwide distribution beginning Friday, July 19, 2019 . Koios has received interest in distributing Fit SodaTM from distributors and direct-to-store delivery companies from across the United States. Fit SodaTM will be available in 400 retail stores across the United States no later than the end of September, 2019.

For those of you who don’t know why adding CBD to a functional beverage is such a big deal, check this out: CBD is the non-psychoactive counterpart in cannabis that’s regularly used to treat inflammation, pain, anxiety and epileptic seizures. 

The addition of CBD to Koios’ proprietary stack of nutrients, amino acids, and electrolytes in its Fit SodaTM line of beverages is expected to improve the product’s already impressive effects. 

Pending completion of further testing, the Company also plans to integrate CBD into its KOIOS beverage lineup at a later date. When the proposed beverage is released, Fit SodaTM will be available both with and without CBD.

On Friday, July 19, 2019 , Koios started production of several test batches of its Fit SodaTM product with crystallized CBD supplied by Keef Brands. Upon completion of this production, the Company will be distributing the products from the test batch to select existing clients for trial purposes. 

Feedback derived from these trials will be utilized to further develop the proposed CBD beverage and prepare it for commercial production and distribution under the Fit SodaTM banner.

Large-scale distribution of CBD-enhanced Fit SodaTM will be contemplated by Koios based on feedback that the Company receives from the test batches being produced that began last week.

We are extremely excited to find out how the large-scale distribution works out and will make sure to update you all when it’s released by the company.

More About Koios

For our purposes, the key to the company’s success has been their anti-reliance on caffeine and their focus on ingredients that increase clarity and focus of the mind. 

Koios enhances focus, concentration, mental capacity, memory retention, cognitive function, alertness, brain capacity, and creates all day mental clarity and energy, without using large amounts of stimulants.

And the science is starting to ramp up fast. Just a few months ago, Koios started clinical trials in Denver to prove the testimonials right. “Enhances cognition.” Imagine seeing that on a can in Walmart!

Its core vision is to help a billion people worldwide live more productively through the development of nootropics, which are supplements that improve cognitive abilities.

The company’s flagship product, Koios, is a GMP-certified dietary supplement. Made from natural ingredients and backed by science, Koios is designed to improve focus, memory, mental drive, clarity and energy.

The company produces Koios in the following formulations:

  • Powder supplements containing nootropics as well as caffeine and lion’s mane and chaga mushrooms;
  • Vegan-friendly capsules;
  • Canned beverages containing nootropics along with MCT oil to burn fat and increase metabolism.

Not to be mistaken with prescription-only drugs which are at times used for similar effects, nootropics are over-the-counter dietary supplements; some of which, like Koios, contain ingredients that are currently used in the treatment of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. 

According to media reports, there is believed to be significant and growing use of nootropics among high-achieving students and professionals. The UK’s leading Guardian newspaper found that nootropics are commonly used in Silicon Valley by computer industry professionals who want to “hack” their minds and maximize their productivity without any possible negative effects on the brain.

Koios developed a proprietary nootropic formula that has been shown to enhance brain function including mental focus, memory, and concentration.

Its formula includes superfoods such as lion’s mane mushroom, which contains bioactive substances with beneficial effects on the body, brain, heart, and gut. The Company produces the formula as a line of healthy, organic beverages and drink powders.

Koios has a distribution network of retail locations across the United States including Walmart, GNC and Max Muscle. Together these distributors represent more than 4,300 locations, from sports nutrition stores to natural grocery chains.

Koios also contains the following ingredients, among others:

  • Vitamin B12: Crucial for the function of the nervous system and the synthesis of DNA, B12 also helps in the creation of red blood cells.
  • Vitamin B6: This vitamin is crucial for brain development among children and brain function in adults. B6 is also important in the production of key hormones: serotonin, which regulates mood, norepinephrine, which helps us handle stress, and dopamine.
  • Huperzine A: Developed from the Chinese club moss plant, huperzine A is used on Alzheimer’s patients to boost their memories. It is also used to raise energy levels and alertness and is the subject of medical trials to test its efficacy when combined with other drugs.
  • Bacopa: Also known as brahmi, bacopa is an Indian herb used in Ayurvedic medicine to improve concentration and memory. Modern science has recognized its effectiveness, and it is used to treat symptoms caused by Alzheimer’s disease, ADHD and anxiety.
  • Ciwujia or Siberian ginseng Sports scientists have been interested in this herb since they heard of how mountain climbers in Tibet use it to boost their performance at high altitudes. Peer-reviewed research has shown that this herb has clear positive effects on endurance.

The company’s products can be found online at https://www.mentaltitan.com and in stores, both across the United States and internationally, via a continuously growing distribution network.

​Small Cap Exclusive is owned and operated by JBN PARTNERS LLC, which is a US based corporation. We are paid advertisers, also known as stock touts or stock promoters, who disseminate favorable information (this “Article”) about publicly traded companies (the “Profiled Issuers”).

​We publish the Information on our website, ​​smallcapexclusive.com/ and in newsletters, text message alerts, audio services, live interviews, featured “research” reports, on message boards and in email communications for specific time periods that are agreed upon between us and the Profiled Issuer and / or third party paying us. Our publication of the Information is known as a “Campaign”. This information may be sent to potential investors at different times that are minutes, hours, days or even weeks apart. Typically, the trading volume and price of a Profiled Issuer’s securities increases after the information is provided to the first group of investors. Therefore, the later an investor receives the Information, the more likely it is that he will suffer trading losses if they purchase the securities of a Profiled Issuer late in a Campaign. We are paid to advertise the Profiled Issuers, ​Koios Beverage Corp. ​Small Cap Exclusive has been hired by ​​Koios Beverage Corp.​ for a period beginning on ​May 1, 2018 to publicly disseminate information about (​KBEV) via website and email. We have been compensated $​558,000. We will update any changes to our compensation. We own zero shares of (​KBEV).

Third Parties paying us to market the Profiled Issuer we believe intend to sell their shares they hold while we tell investors to purchase during the Campaign. ​Koios Beverage Corp. is a penny stock that was illiquid (little to no trading volume) prior to our Campaign, and therefore these securities are subject to wide fluctuations in trading price and volume. During the Campaign the trading volume and price of the securities of each Profile Issuer will likely increase significantly because of the media exposure. When the Campaign ends, the volume and price of the Profiled Issuer will likely decrease dramatically. As a result, investors who purchase during the Campaign and hold shares of the Profiled Issuer when the Campaign ends will probably lose most, if not all, of their investment.

The Information we publish in the Campaign is only a snapshot that provides only positive information about the Profiled Issuers. The Information consists of only positive content.

Investors should not rely on the Information to make an investment decision.

The source of our compensation varies depending upon the particular circumstances of the Campaign. In certain cases, we are compensated by the Profiled Issuers, third party shareholders, and / or other parties related to the Profiled Issuers such as officers and/or directors who will derive a financial or other benefit from an increase in the trading price and/or volume of a Profiled Issuer’s securities.

We may urge investors to purchase the securities of a Profiled Issuer while we sell my own shares. The anti-fraud provisions of federal and state securities laws require us to inform you that we may engage in buying and selling of Profiled Issuer’s securities before, during and after the Campaigns.

Any investment in the Profiled Issuers involves a high degree of risk and uncertainty. The securities may be subject to extreme volume and price volatility, especially during the Campaigns. Favorable past performance of a Profiled Issuer does not guarantee future results. If you purchase the securities of the Profiled Issuers, you should be prepared to lose your entire investment.

We do not endorse, independently verify or assert the truthfulness, completeness, accuracy or reliability of the Information. We conduct no due diligence or investigation whatsoever of the Information or the Profiled Issuers and we do not receive any verification from the Profiled Issuer regarding the Information we disseminate.

If we publish any percentage gain of a Profiled Issuer from the previous day close in the Information, it is not and should not be construed as an indication that the future stock price or future operational results will reflect gains or otherwise prove to be advantageous to your investment.

The Information may contain statements asserting that a Profiled Issuer’s stock price has increased over a certain period of time which may reflect an arbitrary period of time, and is not predictive or of any analytical quality; as such, you should not rely upon the (favorable) Information in your analysis of the present or future potential of a Profiled Issuer or its securities.

The Information should not be interpreted in any way, shape, form or manner whatsoever as an indication of the Profiled Issuer’s future stock price or future financial performance.

You may encounter difficulties determining what, if any, portions of the Information are material or non-material, making it all the more imperative that you conduct your own independent investigation of the Profiled Issuer and its securities with the assistance of your legal, tax and financial advisor.

When 3rd parties that hire us acquire, purchase and / or sell the securities of the Profiled Issuers, it may (a) cause significant volatility in the Profiled Issuer’s securities; (b) cause temporary but unrealistic increases in volume and price of the Profiled Issuer’s securities; (c) if selling, cause the Profiled Issuer’s stock price to decline dramatically; and (d) permit themselves to make substantial profits while investors who purchase during the Campaign experience significant losses.

The securities of the Profiled Issuers are high risk, unstable, unpredictable and illiquid which may make it difficult for investors to sell their securities of the Profiled Issuers.

We may hire third party service providers and stock promoters to electronically disseminate live news regarding the Profiled Issuers, yet we have no control over the content of and do not verify the information that the Profiled Issuers and/or third party service providers publish. These third party service providers are likely compensated for providing positive information about the Issuer and may fail to disclose their compensation to you.

If a Profiled Issuer is a SEC reporting company, it could be delinquent (not current) in its periodic reporting obligations (i.e., in its quarterly and annual reports), or if it is an OTC Markets Pink Sheet quoted company, it may be delinquent in its Pink Sheet reporting obligations, which may result in OTC Markets posting a negative legend pertaining to the Profiled Issuer at www.otcmarkets.com, as follows: (i) “Limited Information” for companies with financial reporting problems, economic distress, or that are unwilling to file required reports with the Pink Sheets; (ii) “No Information,” which characterizes companies that are unable or unwilling to provide any disclosure to the public markets, to the SEC or the Pink Sheets; and (iii) “Caveat Emptor,” signifying buyers should be aware that there is a public interest concern associated with a company’s illegal spam campaign, questionable stock promotion, known investigation of a company’s fraudulent activity or its insiders, regulatory suspensions or disruptive corporate actions.

If the Information states that a Profiled Issuer’s securities are consistent with the future economic trends or even if your independent research indicates that, you should be aware that economic trends have their own limitations, including: (a) that economic trends or predictions may be speculative; (b) consumers, producers, investors, borrowers, lenders and/or government may react in unforeseen ways and be affected by behavioral biases that we are unable to predict; (c) human and social factors may outweigh future economic trends that we state may or will occur; (d) clear cut economic predictions have their limitations in that they do not account for the fundamental uncertainty in economic life, as well as ordinary life; (e) economic trends may be disrupted by sudden jumps, disruptions or other factors that are not accounted for in economic trends analysis; in other words, past or present data predicting future economic trends may become irrelevant in light of new circumstances and situations in which uncertainty becomes reality rather than predicted economic outcome; or (f) if the trend predicted involves a single result, it ignores other scenarios that may be crucial to make a decision in the event of unknown contingencies.

The Information is presented only as a brief snapshot of the Profiled Issuer and should only be used, at most, and if at all, as a starting point for you to conduct a thorough investigation of the Profiled Issuer and its securities. You should consult your financial, legal or other adviser(s) and avail yourself of the filings and information that may be accessed at www.sec.gov, www.otcmarkets.com or other electronic media, including: (a) reviewing SEC periodic reports (Forms 10-Q and 10-K), reports of material events (Form 8-K), insider reports (Forms 3, 4, 5 and Schedule 13D); (b) reviewing Information and Disclosure Statements and unaudited financial reports filed with the OTCMarkets.com; (c) obtaining and reviewing publicly available information contained in commonly known search engines such as Google; and (d) consulting investment guides at www.sec.gov and www.finra.org.
