Mighty Move Brewing on Healthier Choices Management Corp. (OTCMKTS: HCMC) As PMI Patent Infringement Lawsuit Gains Traction

Published

on

Healthier Choices Management Corp. (OTCMKTS: HCMC) Currently trading several billion shares per day HCMC is looking to break out of its trading range. The stock is among the most exciting stocks in small caps that continues to be the most talked about stocks in small caps with well over 400,000 shareholders of record. Currently under heavy accumulation HCMC is looking to break out of its current trading range and blaze a path along the likes of Enzolytics or Tesoro and break out into a whole new dimension; a break over $0.0065 and its blue skies ahead.  

Microcapdaily first reported on HCMC in January 2021, when the stock was in the low triple zeroes, a fraction of current levels. HCMC is getting noticed as the Company pursues its patent infringement lawsuit against billion-dollar conglomerate Philip Morris USA, Inc. and Philip Morris Products S.A. A settlement or licensing deal could drive HCMC into a whole new stratosphere. The patent infringement lawsuit against Philip Morris USA, Inc. is moving forward and gaining steam. Representing HCMC is Cozen O’Connor ranked among the top 100 law firms in the country and employing more than 775 attorneys in 29 cities across two continents. The firm’s diverse client list includes global Fortune 500 companies, middle-market firms poised for growth, high-profile individuals and HCMC who must have a seriously solid case against PMI with outstanding chances. 

Healthier Choices Management Corp. (OTCMKTS: HCMC) is a U.S based Company providing consumers with healthier alternatives to everyday lifestyle choices. Operating under its wholly owned subsidiaries, Healthy Choice Markets and Healthy Choice Markets 2, the Company owns both Ada’s Natural Market, a 18,000 sq. ft. full-service grocery store serving the Fort Myers, FL, and three (3) Paradise Health & Nutrition locations in the greater Melbourne, FL area. HCMC also operates 8 vape stores across the southeast United States offering smokers an alternative to traditional cigarettes. Operating regionally, through its Vape Store brands, including The Vape Store, Vapor Max, Vulcan Vape, and The Grab Bag locations, the Company’s Vape Stores provide an endless selection of industry best vaping hardware and e-liquids, giving its consumers a way to get their nicotine without the smoke, tar, ash or carbon monoxide found in traditional cigarettes.  HCMC’s patented Q-Cup™ technology is based on a small, quartz cup called the Q-Cup™, which a customer can purchase already filled by a third party in some regions, or can partially fill themselves with either cannabis or CBD concentrate (approximately 50mg), also purchased from a third party.  The Q-Cup™ can then be inserted into the patented Q-Unit™, which heats the cup from the outside without coming in direct contact with the solid concentrate.  This Q-Cup™ and Q-Unit™ technology provides significantly more efficiency and an “on the go” solution for consumers who prefer to vape concentrates either medicinally or recreationally.  The Q-Cup™ can also be used in other devices as a convenient micro-dosing system.  

HCMC is doing over $1 million per month in sales in 2020; Last week HCMC announced its financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. Net sales from operations amounted to approximately $3.5 million, down 14% from the same period last year; a significant portion of the decline related to last March’s COVID-19 sales surge in the grocery segment. Total operating expenses were $2 million and the Company reported a small net loss. Adjusted EBITDA loss amounted to $394,000, an improvement of approximately 9% when compared to the same period last year.  

The Company is led by a powerhouse management team; the CEO Jeffrey Holman is a seasoned executive and corporate lawyer who also serves as President of Jeffrey E. Holman & Associates, P.A., a South Florida Based law firm. Mr. Hofman was also a partner at Holman, Cohen & Valencia. Christopher Santi, HCMC COO and President is sales executive who served as President of Santi Management Corporation before joining the Company. John Ollet the CFO previously served as Executive Vice President-Finance for Systemax, Inc. (NYSE:SYX) North America Technology Division for 10 years. SYX currently trades at $43 per share on the NYSE and does over a billion dollars in annual revenues.   

HCMC owns a valuable patent portfolio related to both vape technology and also manufacturing processes and procedures for an imitation nicotine product. Most recently, the company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, HCMC Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC, to hold and market its intellectual property assets. This subsidiary will own all of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property of HCMC and will be utilized in the company’s attempt to monetize its intellectual property.     

The bulk of HCMC $1 million plus in sales per month come from the Company’s chain of Vape Stores across the southeast United States. The 10 Vape Stores have a clear foot hold in the still ever-growing e-cigarette / vaping market and are listed as among the top Vap distributors in the Country.  The Vape Store is made up of regionally branded stores, consisting of our flagship The Vape Store brand, along with Vapor Max, Vulcan Vape, and The Grab Bag store brands.  Selling top rated hardware brands from KangerTech to Aspire, and an endless assortment of premium and house e-liquids, the Vape Store is an endless selection of products to provide users a better alternative to traditional smoking. 

On December 14 HCMC formed a new wholly owned subsidiary to hold, market and expand on its intellectual property assets. This subsidiary, HCMC Intellectual Property Holdings, LLC, will own all of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property of HCMC. HCMC currently owns a portfolio of patents related to both vape technology and also manufacturing processes and procedures for an imitation nicotine product. HCMC’s focus with this new subsidiary is to invest in innovation and encourage further development of core intellectual property. 

The big story on HCMC is its patent infringement lawsuit against Philip Morris USA, Inc. and Philip Morris Products S.A. in connection with their product known and marketed as “IQOS®.” The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The international law firm Cozen O’Connor has been engaged to represent HCMC in this matter. HCMC’s lawsuit includes claims that Phillip Morris is infringing HCMC’s patent rights in connection with IQOS®, an alternative tobacco product marketed and sold by Phillip Morris. Philip Morris claims that it is currently approaching 14 million users of its IQOS® product and has reportedly invested over $3 billion in their smokeless tobacco products. Philip Morris has been very open about their ongoing transition from traditional fully combustible cigarettes to their modified risk tobacco products, including IQOS®. The Philip Morris IQOS® product is currently the subject of two other patent infringement proceedings filed by RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company. One proceeding is before the International Trade Commission and seeks to stop the importation of the IQOS® product into the United States; the other is a patent infringement action currently pending in the Eastern District of Virginia. RJ Reynolds’ patents are unrelated and not affiliated with the patents asserted in the HCMC case.   

In its patent infringement lawsuit against Philip Morris, Cozen O’Connor is representing HCMC; Cozen O’Connor is ranked among the top 100 law firms in the country and employs more than 775 attorneys in 29 cities across two continents. Cozen O’Connor is a full-service firm with nationally recognized practices in litigation, business law, and government relations, and its attorneys have experience operating in all sectors of the economy. The firm’s diverse client list includes global Fortune 500 companies, middle-market firms poised for growth, high-profile individuals and ambitious upstarts like HCMC. Cozen O’Connor has been awarded as the #1 law firm of the year several times, amongst dozens of other awards and would not take on a giant such as Philip Morris unless they knew for sure they have a very strong case and excellent chances. 

Cozen O’Connor has been busy at court on behalf of HCMC; Upcoming events through beginning of May 2021:  

(1) HCMC’s Opposition to PM’s MTD (March 11, 2021): Absent an extension of time to respond, HCMC’s opposition to PM’s MTD is due on or before March 11, 2021. I would expect some form of opposition that includes arguments that (a) dismissal is not warranted because discovery has not happened yet and discovery is needed in order to determine whether combustion is a process that occurs in the accused devices, (b) dismissal is not warranted without a claim construction that construes, amongst other terms, the term “combustion”, and (c) testimony, by way of a declaration, explaining that it is not dispositive, based on the documentary evidence presented by PM’s MTD, that there is no combustion. A well written opposition brief hitting those points will likely result in denial of the MTD. I would also expect that there be a request by HCMC to correct any defects in their complaint, should the court deem there to be any defects. That request is granted liberally and would overcome the MTD for the time being.  

(2) Rule 26(f) Meet and Confer (March 15, 2021): This is held in private between lead counsel for all parties. The parties are required to confer in person in an effort to settle the case, discuss discovery, limit issues, and discuss other matters.  

(3) PM’s Reply to HCMC’s Opposition (March 25, 2021): Absent an extension of time, PM will have the opportunity to reply to HCMC’s opposition brief regarding the MTD.  

(4) Joint Preliminary Report and Discovery Plan (April 12, 2021). Absent an extension of time, the parties will file this report and plan that results from the parties’ Rule 26(f) meeting and conference and sets forth numerous details including, amongst other things, the progress of settlement discussions, a proposed schedule of the case for fact discovery, motion practice, expert discovery, and trial.  

(5) Infringement Contentions (May 12, 2021): HCMC is due to serve contentions showing infringement where HCMC will identify (these are usually exchanged between the parties and not made public or filed publicly with sensitive information redacted): (a) Each claim of each patent in suit that is allegedly infringed by each opposing party; (b) Separately for each asserted claim, each accused apparatus, method, composition or other instrumentality (“Accused Instrumentality”) of each accused party of which the claiming party is aware.

HCMC

On May 28 HCMC extended the expiration date of its Rights Offering from June 3, 2021 to June 10, 2021. HCMC has received reports that some brokers and custodians established internal “cut-off” dates that were earlier than the Expiration Date that their clients did not know about. Many of our international stockholders, as well as some U.S. stockholders, were informed by their brokers and online trading platforms that they were imposing a cutoff date as early as May 28, 2021 to have successfully submitted subscription forms and payments to participate in HCMC’s Rights Offering. 

Consequently, the HCMC Board of Directors has determined to extend the Expiration Date to allow all stockholders, both international and domestic alike, additional time through June 10, 2021 to exercise their subscription rights. The extension of the Rights Offering does not require that the holders of subscription rights who have already subscribed to purchase shares under the Rights Offering take any action. All other terms and conditions of the Rights Offering remain the same as previously announced. 

The subscription rights are non-transferrable and may only be exercised during the subscription period. The subscription period for the Rights Offering commenced on May 19, 2021. We have extended the Expiration Date for the Rights Offering to 5:00 PM Eastern Time, on Thursday, June 10, 2021. If exercising subscription rights through a broker, dealer, bank or other nominee, or online platform, rights holders should promptly contact their nominee, or online platform, and submit subscription documents and payment for the rights subscribed for in accordance with the instructions and within the time period provided by such nominee, or online platform. The broker, dealer, bank or other nominee will establish a deadline before June 10, 2021, by which instructions to exercise subscription rights, along with the required subscription payment, must be received. Based upon recent occurrences, stockholders who wish to participate in the Rights Offering are urged to contact their broker or online trading platform as soon as possible to confirm their deadline and also to determine whether the broker will be charging a transaction fee. 

Under the Rights Offering, Healthier Choices Management Corp. will distribute one non-transferable subscription right for every four shares of common stock owned and each share of Series D preferred stock (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) held on the Record Date (May 18, 2021). Each subscription right will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock. When filling out the subscription rights form, the holder will use the Estimated Subscription Price, which is $0.001425. This number was calculated by taking the volume weighted average price (also known as the “VWAP”) from the last 5 trading days leading up to the Record date of the Rights Offering, and multiplying that number by 75%, thereby reflecting a 25% discount to that 5 day VWAP. In an effort to ensure that the Actual Subscription Price reflects the most current average weighted price available at the close of the Rights Offering, the Actual Subscription Price will be calculated by taking the VWAP from the last 5 trading days leading up to the termination date of the Rights Offering on June 3, 2021, and multiplying that number by 75%, providing a 25% discount to that 5 day VWAP for all shares purchased. 

The Rights Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 333-255356) and the prospectus relating to the Rights Offering on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Before you invest, you should read the prospectus and other documents the Company has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Company and the Rights Offering. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction. Any offer will be made only by means of the prospectus forming a part of the effective registration statement. 

Jeffrey Holman, CEO of HCMC, commented, “We have received significant positive feedback regarding the Rights Offering. In addition, we have received a flood of communications in the last 2 days expressing concerns about stockholders having insufficient time to submit their subscription materials due to the short time frames resulting from submission deadlines set by their brokers, trading platforms and custodians. Accordingly, we have concluded to push back the Expiration Date of the Rights Offering to June 10, 2021 to provide all stockholders additional time to participate.”

Clean Vision Corp (OTC: CLNV): Overcoming the Plastic Waste Crisis

Published

on

Clean Vision Corporation (OTC: CLNV) has experienced several interesting developments recently, but it hasn’t noticeably influenced the market with any substantial gains. Nonetheless, we believe it’s worth providing an update on the company given it’s been a few months since our last mention. In today’s discussion, we’ll explore a variety of updates and their significance, with aim of providing insight on what to expect for 2024.

Background:

Clean Vision is led by Dan Bates, and their goal is to tackle the global plastic waste crisis head-on. Their wholly owned subsidiary, Clean Seas, has developed the Plastic Conversion Network (PCN), a groundbreaking technology aimed at diverting millions of tons of waste plastic from landfills, incineration, and oceans. The PCN converts this plastic feedstock into clean fuels and green hydrogen, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering the carbon footprint.

For a brief 2 minute overview on the company, feel free to reference the video CLNV’s subsidiary put together on YouTube. Here’s the link.

Clean Seas utilizes proven pyrolysis technology to produce environmentally friendly products, which are sold to multinational petrochemical companies, driving the circular plastic economy. Operational PCN facilities are already in place in Morocco and India, with additional conversion facilities in development across West Virginia, Arizona, and Southeast Asia. Long-term feedstock supply agreements exceeding one million tons of waste plastic annually have been secured at no cost.

Their recently trademarked brand, AquaH®, is produced in their PCN. According to the release, it offers a differentiated green hydrogen product from carbon-neutral sources. Currently, hydrogen is predominantly produced through methods that involve fossil fuels, which of course contributes to global carbon emissions. Furthermore according to Deloitte’s 2023 global green hydrogen outlook, this could be a $1.4T annual market by 2050.

$65 Million Plastic Conversion Facility:

CLNV is making big moves in West Virginia and according to the release on October 24th, 2023, they’ve brought in some serious players—CDI Engineering Solutions and ERM—to help out with their Clean-Seas West Virginia project.

CDI has over 70 years of experience integrating engineering, design, project support, procurement and construction management services to the energy, chemicals and electrical infrastructure markets.

ERM is the world’s largest advisory firm focused solely on sustainability, offering environmental, health, safety, risk and social expertise for more than 50 years with more than 8,500 dedicated professionals operating across 40 countries.

The plan is to kick things off in 2024, turning 100 tons of plastic every day into recycled plastics and clean fuels. It’s a hefty project with a $65 million investment, creating over 200 jobs initially. And they’re not stopping there—they want to scale up to 500 tons of plastic per day over time.

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice is also on board, throwing over $12 million in state incentives to support the project.

Governor Jim Justice made a reference to Clean Seas in his state of the union address. If you want to catch the mention, go to 34:15 in the video. The three minutes leading up to it are also worth reviewing.

Launches Global Operations:

CLNV made another significant advancement, planning to launch waste plastic conversion facilities in the European Union, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia. This will be accomplished through their new subsidiary, Clean-Seas Partners UK Limited (CS-UK), who of course shares the same vision of creating sustainable solutions to the global plastic pollution crisis.

Under the leadership of Managing Director Shaun Wootton, CS-UK will play a crucial role in strategic project development and investment facilitation, leveraging established relationships in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

To fortify effective governance and strategic direction, CS-UK is assembling a distinguished board with internationally recognized figures in banking, sustainability, and energy. This approach aims to have a diverse and experienced board guiding CS-UK in realizing its vision of promoting sustainability and environmental stewardship across diverse regions.

$340 Million Bond Offering:

CLNV even announced they partnered with a global advisory firm, Grant Thornton, to issue up to $340 million in Green Bonds. This is the world’s sixth-largest network of independent accounting and consulting firms, employing 62,000 people in more than 130 countries and had revenues of $6.6 billion in 2021. These bonds will fund the expansion of Clean Vision’s Plastic Conversion Network (PCN) under the “Clean-Seas” initiative worldwide, aimed at combatting plastic pollution on a global scale.

With the Green Bond’s net proceeds, CLNV plans to deploy at least six plastic waste conversion lines globally, with strategic locations in West Virginia, Arizona, Southeast Asia, and expansion in Morocco. The Green Bond is also expected to attract environmentally conscious investors, setting a new standard for corporate responsibility.

$15M Government Loan:

Lastly, under the capable management of Huntington Bank, CLNV has recently secured a $15 million government loan. What sets this apart is that the loan is FORGIVABLE.

A forgivable loan is a type of loan where the borrower is not required to repay the borrowed amount under certain conditions. Typically, these conditions are related to the borrower meeting specific criteria, such as using the funds for approved purposes, maintaining certain employment levels, or achieving predetermined goals. If the borrower fulfills these conditions, the loan is forgiven, and they are not obligated to repay the borrowed amount. Forgivable loans are often used as an incentive or support for specific activities, such as job creation, small business development, or other initiatives that contribute to economic growth or community welfare.

Not to mention it won’t result in any dilution for shareholders. This is an unexpected and uncommon accomplishment for an OTC company. Securing a government loan of this size without any dilution is truly impressive.

Conclusion:

CLNV has made impressive strides tackling the global plastic waste crisis, especially given their valuation of merely $22.65 million. The team has swiftly achieved key objectives, including a $65 million plastic conversion facility in West Virginia, global expansion through Clean-Seas Partners UK Limited, a $340 million Green Bond Offering, and a remarkable $15 million forgivable government loan. The vast $1.4 trillion market they’re tapping into offers an interesting opportunity with current indicators looking positive. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to acknowledge that there is still significant work ahead, and the team needs to maintain consistent execution to turn this potential into a reality.

Meta Materials (NASDAQ: MMAT): More Due Diligence and Exploring Latest Developments

Published

on

Meta Materials (NASDAQ: MMAT) witnessed a significant uptick in trading activity on January 16th, 2024, resulting in a notable 20% increase in its stock value by market close. Intrigued by this surge, we explored various sources, including press releases, SEC filings, and social media, to identify the catalyst behind this sudden gain.

Unexpectedly our research revealed no recent material releases. Instead, the surge seems tied to an announcement from a few days ago that didn’t grab much attention at first. As time passed, it started generating more buzz but there’s still a lot more to dig into and a number of ideas to consider for today’s rally.

If you haven’t caught up on our previous analyses of MMAT, you can find the overview here. In this report, we aim to explore the cause-and-effect dynamics of recent events, offering insights that might illuminate expectations for Meta Materials in the near future.

Background:

If you’re new to MMAT or haven’t been a long-time follower, let’s kick things off with a quick intro to the company.

Meta Materials stands at the forefront of advanced materials and nanotechnology. Their focus is on pioneering novel products and technologies utilizing sustainable and innovative scientific approaches. The interesting part is their advanced materials have the transformative power to enhance a variety of common products, infusing them with heightened intelligence and sustainability.

Leveraging its technology platforms, they’re capable of empowering global brands in creating cutting-edge products that elevate overall performance.

Their technology has application across multiple industries including aerospace and defense, consumer electronics, 5G communications, batteries, authentication, automotive, and clean energy. Their agreement with Panasonic is certainly a great start to empowering their growth in one of many verticals. Overall the TAM is ~$32B and with current growth rates, it’ll increase to a whopping ~$61B by 2026.

MMAT’s goal is to shape a smarter and more sustainable world. If you look through their presentation, you can continue to evaluate the many ways their technology transforms everyday lives. We highly suggest you take a look.

What Happened:

So, MMAT issued a press release on January  11th, 2024, announcing a proposed settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) concerning an investigation related to the Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc. and Metamaterial Inc. merger.

According to the release, The company has extended a settlement offer (Proposed SEC Settlement) to the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. This proposed settlement aims to address concerns regarding antifraud, reporting, books and records, and internal accounting control provisions of securities laws. It is important to note that the Proposed SEC Settlement is contingent on approval by the SEC Commissioners, and the company cannot predict the approval timeline.

If accepted, the Proposed SEC Settlement would involve the SEC entering a cease-and-desist order and the company paying a civil money penalty of $1 million over a one-year period in four installments. Notably, the company would neither admit nor deny the findings outlined in the Order.

The company’s board of directors and management team view the Proposed SEC Settlement as beneficial for shareholders. If approved, it is expected to remove uncertainty surrounding the investigation, enabling the company to focus on advancing its business objectives.

So What:

If you’ve just read through the announcement and are confused, you’re not alone. It appears that many investors may have mis-read the press release, thinking that the SEC was being punished and MMAT was reaching a settlement agreement, but it appears to be the other way around.

In the event of approval, the company is obligated to pay a civil money penalty of $1 million. This penalty would be paid in four installments over the course of one year, following an agreed-upon payment plan. However, the PR also notes that the company cannot predict with certainty whether or when the Proposed SEC Settlement will even be approved by the SEC Commissioners.

According to another user on X, @AShortSqueeze, MMAT’s initial analysis has potentially revealed the motherload of counterfeit shares.

But if you scroll through the comments, you’ll see other users pointing out that this information is actually old news. This is just one of many widely circulated posts that might have been misunderstood.

Significant Coverage:

Another theory suggests that a notable influencer in the financial space, @MoonMarket_, has set their sights on the company and is conducting additional due diligence. With a substantial following of almost 75K users, the influencer’s involvement could have contributed to a significant fluctuation in today’s trading session. It’s important to recognize that X is packed with plenty of financial influencers, and blindly following their moves can be risky. Many are involved in day trades, momentum trading, or at least contemplating such strategies.

Conclusion:

The buzz around MMAT today seems fuelled by a mix of misrepresented themes and recycled news, creating the illusion of fresh, imminent developments.

As per usual, the magnitude of MMAT’s technology and potential integrations across various verticals continues to create a roar of excitement. On another front, we’re also continuing to see speculation about a short squeeze due to substantial amounts of counterfeit shares.

For now, patience is key and we suggest closely monitoring developments. MMAT especially tends to be quite volatile.

Integrated Cannabis Solutions’ (OTC: IGPK) 633% Surge: Exploring Catalysts, Company Overview, and Growth Potential in 2024

Published

on

Integrated Cannabis Solutions (OTC: IGPK) has undergone a remarkable uptrend, surging an impressive 633% since December 11th, 2023, with 166% of that surge taking place across yesterday’s trading session and today, January 11th, 2023. Both days have been marked by unprecedented volume – Yahoo Finance reported an almost 30x increase, with 115,867,027 shares traded by close yesterday. We’re already seeing 90,092,317 shares traded this morning and it’s just barely noon. Today we’ll explore the catalysts behind the surge, offer a comprehensive overview of the company, and evaluate IGPK’s potential for sustained growth throughout 2024.

Background:

Let’s get straight to it. IGPK is the result of a recent reverse merger with Integrated Cannabis Solutions and JFH Digital E-Commerce Corp. The first thing you’ll notice is finding the website isn’t a walk in the park, we’re fairly certain there isn’t one yet, at least one that will help in any way related to more investment information. Your best bet for more any information is to check out IGPK’s OTC Market page for details, but even the company description on there is not accurate. We’ve mainly found the following information through filings, IGPK’s Twitter, and other online users.

Keep in mind this breakdown might not be flawless given we’re piecing it together mostly from what folks on X are saying. But we’ll try our absolute best to lay it all out for you.

IGPK appears to have been a shell for little while until JFH stepped in. A user on X, @stockplayer30, broke it down fairly simply, stating that the shell’s slate was wiped clean, cancelling all notes payable and any debt. Whether it’s a promissory note, convertible note, or convertible debenture, the main point is they ditched all debt. JFH has an opportunity to start fresh, and it certainly makes this deal a lot more interesting.

Just a heads up, it’s a Chinese merger. If the idea of a Chinese leadership team makes you a bit wary, you might want to pause here. However if you were in the trading game during the summer of ’23, you probably remember those crazy spikes in some Chinese Nasdaq deals. And get this – no big press releases or SEC filings to explain those sudden jumps either.

Company Description:

Onto what the company actually does. According to @SuperRobotOTC on X, this is a digital e-commerce company based in China, here’s a link to their e-commerce website. This user also put together a great overview of the company on YouTube, if you’d like to watch something informative in video format, click here.

Another user, @igal_n, found a blurb on the company that states, “Junfenghuang (JFH) is a digital asset. It is a token issued by Uplus Future Company with the help of blockchain technology. It has no direct relationship with the original equity”.

The Potential:

What makes this story extremely interesting is the sheer magnitude of how large JFH is, the intrinsic value does not appear to be valued accurately in the market, given it’s only freshly merged into IGPK’s tiny shell company on the OTC.

Their Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) is heading north of 50 billion yuan, and post-merger profits from service outlets are looking at a hefty 10 billion yuan – yes, billion with a B.

Steering the ship is a leadership team featuring President Wang Dejun, Treasurer Xie Weiji, and Director Yang Lanfang. With a whopping 750 subsidiaries, 250,000 merchants, and 30 million registered users. We’ve also heard from other sources that the registered users could be nearly double that, coming in at 50 million registered users.

These numbers are substantial for a company with a $7 million market cap. Looking ahead, it won’t be shocking if IGPK sets its sights on moving up to a bigger exchange like NASDAQ. It’s no secret they’re already in the big leagues – or it at least appears so. If that were the case, they’d of course have enhanced credibility, more visibility, and increased access to capital with institutional funding.

The App:

Now, you might be wondering, “Sounds cool, but it’s a Chinese merger with a whole setup on the other side of the planet. Can we trust this info?” @SuperRobotOTC has also gone the extra mile by downloading the app, and gave us the lowdown in video format. On top of the SEC filings, this is an added layer of trust & credibility we can attribute to this new venture. Here’s the link to the video.

Conclusion:

Fortunately it appears IGPK is still for the most part flying under the radar. There’s not even a proper website or accurate update on IGPK’s OTC Market overview to tell us what the company even entails. But here’s the silver lining – that might mean you’re still early. The intrinsic value of IGPK appears strongly disproportionate to its current value in the market.

Our advice? Keep a close eye on IGPK’s journey as it takes on this exciting phase of growth and exploration. It’s likely this story will catch wind quickly and it could be a great time to take advantage. As @SuperRobotOTC eluded to in his video, this could be the OTC’s largest merger, with a potential $70B valuation.
