$TCAN TCM Distribution, Inc. Receives Adelanto Adult Use Permits

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 03, 2019 — via Network Wire – Transcanna Holdings Inc. (CSE:TCAN: XETR: TH8) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, TCM Distribution, Inc., has received an Adult Use Cannabis Manufacturing permit and an Adult Use cannabis distribution permit from the City of Adelanto, California.

As previously reported on April 18, 2019, TCM Distribution sub-leased 10,000 square feet of warehouse space in Adelanto. Thereafter, TCM Distribution applied for the above two referenced permits with the City of Adelanto which were received on May 28, 2019. TCM Distribution has applied for its state of California Adult Use permanent manufacturing license and distribution licenses, which are pending.

“The purpose of the Adelanto facility is two-fold; first, it’ll be used as one of our southern California satellite facilities for goods being transported from our 196,000 square foot vertically integrated, cannabis focused facility in Modesto. Second, with the non-volatility manufacturing license we’ll be able to accommodate the production and packaging of pre-rolled cannabis products and other products of similar nature, then distribute them accordingly,” stated Jim Pakulis, CEO of TransCanna.

“GoodFellas, one of the entities the Company is preparing to acquire, will be transferring all revenue generating distribution and manufacturing processes to Adelanto once the facility receives its Certificate of Occupancy from the city, and state distribution and manufacturing permits. We anticipate this being completed by the end of June.”

In addition, the TCM Distribution recently purchased and upgraded its state mandated transportation vehicle.  The vehicle was purchased in March and received the state required alterations in order to assure state compliance.

In other news, the Company is pleased that the Adelanto city counsel in May approved reducing the tax on transportation, distribution, manufacturing and cannabis testing lab services from 5% down to 1%. The counsel also voted to reduce the cultivation tax from $5 per month per square foot to 42 cents per month per square foot. The dispensaries tax was also reduced from 5% down to 3%.

$OGI What Uplisting to the NASDAQ Means

At the end of April, OrganiGram Holdings (TSXV:OGI) (NASDAQ:OGI) filed all the necessary paperwork with the NASDAQ in hopes of uplisting to the major exchange. Three weeks later, on May 21, OrganiGram stock began trading here under the ticker OGI.

Historically, uplisting from the OTC to a major US exchange leads to a notable jump in the company’s share price. Of course, any short-term gains are nice, but they are incomparable to the long-term potential that uplisting offers OrganiGram stock.

OrganiGram Stock Declines

However, OrganiGram stock has somewhat broken the more traditional mold; shares have been declining since uplisting to the exchange.

OGI stock hit a peak of $8.35 the day before uplisting, but at $7.24 at present, shares have fallen almost 14% since.

Investors shouldn’t worry, though. This current downturn still doesn’t shake the longterm potential that OrganiGram is now afforded by listing on the NASDAQ.

The Benefits of Major Exchanges

Major exchanges offer cannabis shares a legitimacy that is needed in this newly legalized industry. Further, it brings major improvements to the stock’s visibility, liquidity, and validity.

The biggest benefit of all is arguably the Wall Street coverage that comes with listing on a major exchange. This can lead to investment from major institutional investors that more-often-than-not won’t buy OTC-listed companies.

All in all, the list of added benefits goes a long way to lifting a marijuana stock’s valuation. Will this be the same for OrganiGram stock?

OrganiGram Holdings is Efficient

As one of the most efficient cannabis growers in Canada, OrganiGram is a smart play for several reasons. It is on track to produce 113,000 kilos across its 490,000 square foot Moncton facility. Its yield per square foot is twice that of the industry average: 231 grams per square foot. It does this by growing upwards—utilizing all space possible by employing three tiers of growing space.

Growing in this efficient manner maximizes cultivation space but minimizes growing costs and boosts margins.

Along with lower costs of growing, the company also has supply agreements in place with all of Canada’s provinces.

Will uplisting boost OrganiGram stock in time? What do you think? Are you an investor of these shares?

$NETE Launches Blade, Fully-automated, Artificial Intelligence-Powered Underwriting Solution

Net Element’s Blade unlocks the power of artificial intelligence

MIAMI, FL, June 03, 2019 — via NEWMEDIAWIRE —Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE(“Net Element” or the “Company”), a global technology and value-added solutions group that supports electronic payments acceptance in a multichannel environment including point-of-sale (POS), e-commerce and mobile devices, today announces that it has launched Blade, its proprietary, fully-automated, artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered underwriting solution with predictive scoring.

Blade is a software built for underwriting and on-boarding of new merchants, reducing potential risks and decision-making time while improving the customer experience. The system works by compiling and analyzing data points that are automatically evaluated in accordance with the pre-set and dynamic parameters using proprietary algorithms.  Blade is a smart system, which continually adapts and improves the artificial intelligence as tens of thousands of datasets evolve to further enhance real time decisioning.

Financial services companies will spend $11 billion on AI in 2020 according to an analysis by International Data Corporation (IDC), more than any other industry cited.  According to PwC estimates, financial services companies stand to make a nice return on their investment as well. In North America alone, AI is projected to increase the GDP of the financial and professional services industry as much as 10 percent by 2030, driven by increases in both productivity and consumption.

Intelligent data analysis and advanced machine learning algorithms provide actionable insights based on tens of thousands of datasets in order to reduce potential losses attributable to chargebacks or fraud, at a speed and scale unlike any other product in the market.  Blade’s AI-based scoring engine provides a faster, more accurate assessment of risk during the on-boarding process, at less cost, and accounts for a wider variety of factors which leads to better, data-backed decision making. The continuous updates from the system enrich the AI-powered decision-making process. This information can then be used in predicting outcomes to improve customer support, risk management, client retention and collections.

An average account review takes 15 minutes in a semi-automated environment.  This standard review includes KYC, AML, OFAC and many other requirements designed for full regulatory compliance and to mitigate losses.  Blade completes this review in less than a minute. If the account fails, it provides a detailed description of the problem and suggested solutions.  It filters, categorizes and classifies approvals for post underwriting merchant reviews resulting in risk mitigation and a better customer experience for the merchant.

“AI and machine learning are quickly becoming valuable tools for decision making in the payments ecosystem, particularly in securing e-commerce transactions,” commented Shawn Brown, Vice President of Risk for Net Element. “As we continue to grow, we will rely more on AI-powered technologies to assist us with day to day departmental functions and decision making.”

Net Element anticipates that subsequent events and developments may cause its plans, intentions and expectations to change.
