International Endeavors Corporation (OTCMKTS:IDVV): Here Are the Latest Developments

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

The energy industry is one of those sectors that is currently experiencing a lot of change, much of which is related to the work being done in the alternative energy sector. It is a market segment in the energy industry that is anticipated to expand rapidly, and there are several businesses there that are already making outstanding progress in that direction. One of the companies standing out is International Endeavors Corporation (OTCMKTS:IDVV), which is regarded as an alternative energy company and has its hands on a number of pies. IDVV is involved in the distribution, sales, marketing, and installation of battery storage, bi-directional charging, solar technology, and crypto-mining rigs that run on clean energy. Most of its work is focused on the United States and Latin America. The company is also involved in providing solutions that can help boost the returns on investment for both off- and on-rig clients. Additionally, the company is also focused on partnering with and acquiring eco-friendly companies, technologies, and brands. IDVV made news earlier in the week, on March 6, when they announced that their artificial intelligence business division WITech had signed an agreement with their first-ever client. The client, HayCap, is a commercial and residential lender that is focused on fixing and flipping properties in many states across the US. Some of the provisions of the agreement make for interesting reading. A significant artificial intelligence-powered marketing campaign would begin in Nevada and Southern California, as well as the development of a lending package for International Endeavors Corporation's solar crypto project clients. It is also important to keep in mind that the agreement is for a year but is not exclusive in nature since International Endeavors Corporation would like to offer the services to more clients. The payments originating from the agreement are going to be made on a quarterly basis and would be based on set monthly fees as well as lending volume. The Vice President of International Endeavors Corporation, Bill Martin, spoke about the matter as well. He noted that the company expected to generate revenues in the range of 500,000 and 1,000,000. The fact that WITech signed up its first client was a major development for the company given that it was only on February 22, 2023, that the company announced that it had completed the acquisition. At the time, International Endeavors Corporation announced that WITech was a private company focused on automation and artificial intelligence technologies. The company also announced that the acquisition would help it bring about further improvements in its crypto and solar technologies. Additionally, the acquisition was also intended to help International Endeavors Corporation move meaningfully into the artificial intelligence sector. It was a significant new announcement, and the signing of the first contract was an indication that International Endeavors Corporation may well be on the right track.

Endonovo Therapeutics (OTCMKTS:ENDV) Reaches Distribution Agreement with Academy Medical

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

There are a number of interesting companies which may well be worth the attention of investors at this point in time and one of those could well be Endonovo Therapeutics (OTCMKTS:ENDV). Before getting into some of the key new developments with regard to Endonovo it could be a better idea to have a closer look at the nature and structure of its operations. The company is currently divided into two main divisions. The first one is its legacy business, which is involved in the development of noninvasive wearable 'Electroceuticals' therapeutic devices meant for pain relief, wounds, and wellness. Most of the products manufactured by Endonovo under the legacy business are sold under the SofPulse brand. The other business division is the Build Up Strategy which is involved in the acquisition of complementary specialty service providers involved in the construction industry. The company was in the news cycle earlier on in the week on March 6 after it announced that it had signed a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Government Reseller Agreement with the West Palm Beach-based firm Academy Material Inc. As per the provisions of the agreement between the two parties, the agreement would involve the distribution of SofPulse branded medical devices so as to make sure that those devices are available to the Department of Defence and Veterans Health Administration contracts. The new contract is a vital one since it would allow Endonovo to team up with Academy Material for bringing the highest class of surgical and medical supplies, in addition to telehealth services to veterans and the military. In this context, it is perhaps also necessary to keep in mind that the Pulse Electro Magnetic Frequency (PEMF) electromagnetic devices sold under the SofPulse brand had been cleared by the United States Food and Drug Administration. The devices are also clinically proven with regard to the successful reduction of edema and postoperative pain. At this point in time, the company’s Medical Device Division is working on the commercialization of the SofPulse telehealth and medical device initiatives. The latest agreement is also going to help in further expanding the scale of distribution of SofPulse branded products. The company has been working diligently for the sole purpose of expanding the distribution and presence of its SofPulse brand of products. In this regard, it should be noted that back on January 26 earlier this year, the company announced that it had signed a stocking distributor agreement of a non-exclusive nature with the firm Pulse Therapeutic Technology Inc. Pulse would be responsible for purchasing its SofPulse products and then distributing those in Costa Rica and Mexico. As a distributor, Pulse seemed to have gauged the potential of the products and had purchased as much as $100,000 of those products for the purpose of marketing and testing in Costa Rica and Mexico. The testing proved to be successful, and eventually, Pulse placed a purchase order to the tune of as much as $350,000. Endonovo noted at the time that it was going to work closely with the distributor through SofPulse Inc, its subsidiary.

Legal & General’s new report on Women in the U.S. Gig Economy finds income disparity, multiple roles, worry about financial future

Legal & General

- Lowest pay bracket: 58% are women; Highest pay bracket: 68% are men - Earning over $100K a year in gig work: 18% are female, 28% are male - 71% of female gig workers say their biggest worry is their financial futue - Just 8% of women surveyed have a pension plan A special International Women’s Day report in a broad new study sponsored by Legal & General Group ( LGEN, LGNNY ), U.S. Gig Economy Special Report: Tasked With Both Childcare and Earning, Women Fall Behind Their Male Counterparts, was released today. The report continues narrating original research on the changing U.S. workforce and the reluctance of so many to enter into traditional employment. The study looks into the diversity and differences as well as the shared traits of this group of workers, along with the tradeoffs they make in favor of flexibility. This special report in the data-rich U.S. Gig Economy study, Tasked With Both Childcare and Earning, Women Fall Behind Their Male Counterparts, explores several areas of gender disparity between the male and female freelance workers who were surveyed. The sample comprised 47 percent women, who largely make their living in lower-paid sectors such as Beauty & Heath, Media/Writing and Online/App Services—this, in contrast to the highest paid, mostly male sector, IT. Across all categories of respondents, whether paid per project, per hour, per week or per month, the pay gap between men and women was 32 percent on average, and as much as 45 percent in median average pay per month. The study found that female gig workers are far more likely than males to prioritize their children and other family caregiving responsibilities ahead of the stability and future financial security offered by the full-time, office-based work model. They also worry far more than men do about the long-term financial outlook their choice entails. Verbatim responses received ahead of the survey from female gig workers show a more realistic and stoic outlook on their financial prospects than their male counterparts, including their projected income at retirement and their ability to weather unforeseen financial crises such as a loss of income or a major home or car repair. “The value of women in the workforce becomes increasingly obvious, even as more and more American women find themselves turning to working independently as the only way to juggle multiple roles and responsibilities in their lives. This study shines the light on some key areas that are ripe for reparation in the U.S. labor space, notably more equitable pay and better social and financial safety nets for women. Employers looking to get this hard-working contingent back to the office should additionally address women’s evident need for flexibility, as they pick up many other family and householder duties. The private sector can and should lead the way in improving their lot.” Sir Nigel Wilson, Chief Executive, Legal & General Group Female gig workers’ biggest concern is their long-term financial future Legal & General’s study looks at the complex and multifaceted societal and financial factors behind independent work, including what is missing for many to feel secure in life and society. Seven out of 10 women in this study worried about a lack of job security and predictability of income, as well as not having access to group retirement plans and other benefits. “Globally, women are at far greater risk of poverty in their old age than are men, and U.S. policymakers are taking notice of this fact. We’re seeing proposed legislation, for example, that would tie federal funding for business growth to the provision of affordable childcare and other benefits meant to empower the workforce. Still, there is a substantial bridge for employers to cross when considering the critical reasons that female workers, in particular, are choosing flexibility over financial security. We hope our research goes some way toward creating a basis for positive change.” John Godfrey, Director of Levelling-Up, Legal & General Group Future segments of this research will look in depth at gig workers’ outlook and financial situation around retirement planning; what it would take to get gig workers to go back to the traditional workplace; and a closer look at the pandemic fallout for gig workers. To receive a pdf of any of these reports, please email Meir Kahtan/MKPR at mkahtan@rcn.com. About the Study Legal & General undertook proprietary research into the attitudes and changes U.S. gig workers are experiencing in relation to their work situations and financial outlook. The U.S. Gig Economy research was compiled using original survey data from 1044 U.S.-based workers aged 18 to 60 who are neither students nor retired, and who earn at least 60% of their income from gig work. The data was collected via online survey fielded to individuals sample sourced from YouGov’s US panel. The Legal & General-designed survey was scripted and hosted on Gryphon, YouGov’s proprietary survey scripting platform, and the field work took place between August 19 and 31, 2022. Key demographics such as age, gender and region were allowed to fall out naturally. 20 questions were designed to understand facts about earnings, drivers of and barriers to gig working, financial product ownership & financial capacity when coming across adverse situations, and future expectations of being involved in the gig economy. Verbatim comments were captured by Legal & General in research carried out in June 2022. About Legal & General Group Established in 1836, Legal & General is one of the UK's leading financial services groups and a major global investor, with over £1.4 trillion ($1.7 trillion) in total assets under management* of which a third is international.

Ayala Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTC:ADXS) Announces Continuation of RINGSIDE Phase 2/3 Study in Desmoid Tumors

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

Clinical-stage oncology firm Ayala Pharmaceuticals Inc (OTC:ADXS) is a company that has been making significant strides in its industry and has caught the attention of many investors in recent times. The company is involved in the development and commercialization of small molecule therapeutics for patients who may be suffering from aggressive variants of cancer or rare tumors. Additionally, the company is also working on the development of Lm-based antigen delivery products for people who may be suffering from the common variants of cancer. One of the lead candidates being developed by Ayala at this point is AL 102 which is meant for desmoid tumors and another one is ADXS 504, an LM-based early-stage prostate cancer therapy. In this context, it is perhaps necessary to keep in mind that AL 102 had also been awarded the coveted fast-track designation by the United States Food and Drug Administration, and at this point, it is in Phase 3 of a vital study. Last week on March 3 the company was in the news after it made a key new announcement with regards to its product AL 102. The company announced that the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) for its Phase 2/3 RINGSIDE study into the investigational new drug had completed a prespecified review of the data produced by the study. After studying the data, the IDMC concluded that the study could continue without any modifications. It was a significant development for the company and one that must have come as a major boost for investors who may have been following the news. Ken Berlin, the Chief Executive Officer and President of the company spoke about the development as well. He thanked the IDMC for its work and recommendation about the matter. However, more importantly, he went on to add that the product AL 102 had the potential to be the best product in its class and everyone at the company was excited about the prospect of it in helping with desmoid tumors. Berlin noted that if the product was approved by the regulators then it could prove to be a major new addition to an indication that was largely underserved. The company had been in focus last month when it announced its financial results for the fiscal year ending on October 31, 2022, back on February 10, 2023. The company announced that at the end of the fiscal year, it had cash and cash equivalents to the tune of $25.2 million. The revenues generated by the company for the 2022 fiscal year stood at $250,000 and that reflected a large drop from the revenues of $3.2 million in the previous year. The expenses related to research and development came in at $7.6 million but in the previous year that had been $10.6 million. The general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year actually dropped year on year to $8.9 million from $11.5 million in 2021. The net losses for the fiscal year actually dropped to $14.4 million from $17.9 million in 2021.

Armanino Foods of Distinction Inc. (OTC:AMNF) Issues Q4 Earnings

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

Despite recent economic downturns, the market for frozen food products is still strong, and many of the companies operating in that industry are currently working extremely hard to expand their operations. One of the companies that could well be worth tracking at this point is Armanino Foods of Distinction Inc. (OTCMKTS:AMNF), which is involved in the production and marketing of frozen food products in the United States. The company is well known for offering a wide range of goods, such as gourmet beef, Italian-style beef, Italian-style pork, smoked turkey meatballs, different kinds of pesto, cheeses, and many other essentials. The company offers all these products under the Armanino brand, and the products are marketed through a number of food brokers. The products are sold to retail distributors, food service distributors, industrial accounts, and also to club-like stores. The company, which is based out of Hayward, California, was established in 1978 and is currently one of the major players in its industry. The company has performed strongly for a long time, and last week, on March 3, Armanino Foods of Distinction announced that it had managed to generate the highest-ever fourth-quarter net sales, highest-ever annual net sales, and highest-ever annual pre-tax profits in the periods that ended on December 31, 2022. That being said, it should also be noted that it was also the 78 th straight quarter in which the company had managed to stay profitable. The company managed to generate net sales to the tune of $13,717,899 in the fourth quarter, which reflected a year-on-year rise of 15% from the $11,924,678 it had generated in net sales in the prior-year quarter. The pre-tax income in the fourth quarter stood at $2,045,138, and that remained largely unchanged given the pre-tax income in the prior year period was $2,040,241. The net income for the fiscal year was $1,446,209, reflecting a drop of 20% year over year from the $1,796,842 that had been generated in the previous year. The net sales for the year came in at a strong $57,873,545; that reflected a year-on-year rise of 21% from the $43,824,030 generated in the previous year. Analysts and investors alike have taken notice of the company's strong performance. It is also important to note that Armanino Foods of Distinction is a company that pays out dividends, which may be another factor for many investors. Last year, on December 19, 2022, the company announced that it was going to pay out a regular quarterly cash dividend to the tune of as much as $0.03 per share. All shareholders of record as of January 3, 2023, were entitled to the dividends, which were going to be paid out on January 23, 2023. It was also noted at the time that Armanino Foods of Distinction had also paid out special dividends on ten occasions to its loyal shareholders.

Fine Hygienic Holding continues to roll out a progressive female-friendly approach with its latest Menopause and Fertility Treatment Policy

Fine Hygienic Holding

Fine Hygienic Holding (FHH), a world-leading wellness group and manufacturer of hygienic paper products and long-term germ protection solutions, has recently recommitted to its ongoing mission to make the workplace environment more inclusive and inviting for all its employees. The company has rolled out additional reforms in terms of its female-friendly policies to ensure everyone operates in a supportive environment. A step towards establishing positive change has been made, as the company is introducing the Fine Flourish Policy, which includes provisions for Menstrual, Menopause, and Fertility Treatment leaves, across all its locations. All female personnel - both full-time and probationary - are eligible to take advantage of the generous Fine Flourish policy. Employees are granted up to 12 days of leave annually in the event of any illness, symptoms, or complications related to menopause, menstruation, or fertility treatment. Moreover, flexible work arrangements can be made to ensure their comfort and convenience. All these provisions can be availed without a medical certificate and are granted separately from vacations or other leave policies. FHH is regarded as a pioneer in the region with its employee-friendly leave policies that offer time to recover both physically and emotionally.

Every policy we announce is tailored to embody our values and to provide support, and we will continue to be dedicated to looking after the wellbeing of our people and pave the way for woman employment across the Middle East.” Fine Hygienic Holding has already set the bar high in this field when it previously introduced a series of progressive leaves on top of which is its menstrual leave, which the company launched more than 10 years ago. For mothers to be, FHH provides up to 16 weeks of fully paid maternity leave, which is far more than the recommendations of the International Labour Organization. Furthermore, the company has amended its parental leave policy, allowing three weeks of paid paternity leave, and has also set a benchmark in global and regional companies by introducing a compassionate leave wherein a female employee or the spouse of an employee is granted a paid leave in cases of miscarriages or stillbirths. Fine Hygienic Holding (FHH), one of the world’s leading wellness groups and MENA’s leading manufacturer of hygienic products, serves consumers in more than 80 countries around the world.

Golden Grail Technology (OTC:GOGY) Reaches Full Circle Distribution Agreement

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

There are very few industries that have managed to grow at such an impressive pace in recent years as the beverage industry and there are some companies that are doing stellar work in that sector. One of the companies to fit the bill in that regard is Golden Grail Technology (OTCMKTS:GOGY). The company is largely involved in building, growing, and streamlining its portfolio of beverages through responsible investments. Golden Grail is best known for going for brands with a proven track record of sales and loyal consumer following. In addition to that, the company also looks into the retail presence of the brand and the overall value proposition. In essence, Golden Grail is essentially interested in such beverage brands which want to graduate to the next level of growth. For a company like Golden Grail, which depends heavily on retail presence in a big way, distribution is one of the key elements of its business and in recent times the company has been making rapid strides on that front. This past Friday, the company was in the news after it announced that it had inked a distribution agreement for distributing Sway Energy with Full Circle Distributors. The agreement is with regard to the distribution of the product in Pennsylvania. Full Circle has been in business since as far back as 2010 and during that time it partnered with some of the biggest retailers in order to bring some of the highest quality products to the Pittsburgh market. The company has built up a strong distribution network which includes gas stations, grocery stores, convenience stores, gyms, universities, colleges, and hotels. The Chief Executive Officer of Golden Grail Steve Hoffman spoke about the latest development as well. He noted that everyone at the company was pleased with the prospect of having teamed up with Full Circle. He went on to add that it was one of the biggest distributors in Pittsburg and more importantly, the market lay within 500 miles of more than 50% of the population of the United States. Hence, it could be argued that the distribution partner for this area alone could open up a massive new market for Golden Grail’s product. Hoffman stated that the partnership could help the company in expanding the presence of the Sway Brand in the Northeastern region of the United States. On the same day, the company announced the signing of another distribution agreement. The distribution agreement signed by Golden Grail was with Olympic Eagle Distributing and it was for the distribution of Sway Energy products in Washington State. Olympic Eagle is one of the biggest distributors in the Pacific Northwest and deals in a range of products including, non-alcoholic beverages, cider, craft beer, wine, spirits, and imported beer among others. The company had signed distribution partnerships for the Pacific Northwest region not too long ago and the one with Olympic Eagle would only help it in strengthening its presence even further. Hoffman stated at the time that he was pleased with the development.
