B2B Research Firm Ranks Abby Connect Top Answering Service and Virtual Receptionist Firm

LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) November 30, 2017

B2B research firm Clutch ranked Las Vegas-based Abby Connect number one in its list of top global inbound voice and call center service providers. Clutch conducted a series of in-depth surveys and ranked Abby Connect the top answering and virtual receptionist service provider. Clutch also ranked Abby Connect number ten in its list of top customer support services. Abby Connect has consistently ranked among the top customer service providers in the world, and Clutch’s survey reinforces Abby's premium spot globally.

"It is an honor for us to be listed number #1 under the categories of answering services and virtual receptionist services. We take great pride in providing top-notch infrastructure and call handling services to our clients," says Nathan Strum, CEO of Abby Connect. "As we hurtle towards a more digital economy, more businesses seek 24/7 customer support, and that is what we specialize in," explains Mr. Strum. The same survey ranked Abby Connect number 10 globally in the category of customer support.

Clutch identified several companies that specialized in five inbound call center categories, which included order processing, customer support, virtual receptionist, answering services, and inbound appointment setting. Clutch's methodology involved studying in-depth client reviews, ability to deliver, and industry recognition. Clutch focuses more on in-depth client reviews to identify top players in various categories. Abby Connect won the top spot in two categories: virtual receptionist and answering services.

“Our approach is to focus on growth and simultaneously innovate. Innovation is a key driver of industry success and growth, and customer support and answering services depend on innovative methods to bring the solutions that clients want,” says Mr. Strum. “We are increasingly focusing on adopting newer technologies to remain ahead of our competitors and bring the best virtual receptionist services to our clients. We take our mission and our employees’ happiness very seriously, and that’s what keeps our clients and their customers happy,” Mr. Strum added.

Customer support and call center industries have changed drastically in the last few years, with a focus on innovation and R&D. Answering service companies and virtual receptionist firms which haven't innovated have found it difficult to keep pace with firms such as Abby Connect, which continue to invest in premium technology and manpower to deliver non-stop customer care. Abby Connect's explosive growth resulted in the firm recently opening a second office in Las Vegas.

TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (CSE: MPX) (OTCQB:MPXEF)*MPX Bioceutical Corporation* (the “*Company*” or “*MPX*”) (CSE:MPX) (OTC:MPXEF) reports financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2018, ended September 30, 2017.

“We recorded another strong quarter with gross margins improving to 42.6%.”  We continue to execute on our expansion strategy having entered into multiple non-binding letters of intent to acquire additional management companies in Maryland and Arizona.  Development of our assets in Massachusetts is progressing well, and our pending joint venture with Panaxia will provide important product differentiation into the pharma-grade products segment.  Once all of our current expansion initiatives have been fully developed, we anticipate having a total of 10 dispensaries throughout four States, 9 million grams per annum in cultivation and 1.2 million grams per annum in concentrates production capacity. This gives us an excellent platform for further growth, especially considering our proven access to capital,” said Scott Boyes, CEO of MPX.

(CDN$) 3 months to September 30, 2017 3 months to June 30, 2017 Change
Health for Life (“H4L”) dispensary cannabis sales (grams) 271,405 267,927 1.3%
Average price per gram (H4L cannabis sales) $14.94 $14.76 1.2%
Total Revenues $4.4M $4.5M (2.2%)
Gross Profit $2.9M $2.7M 7.4%
Adjusted EBITDA ($0.3M) $0.1M ($0.4M)
Net loss ($1.5M) ($0.8M) ($0.7M)

As the Company’s activities are nearly exclusively related to cannabis assets owned in the U.S., which were acquired in calendar 2017 only, comparison to the financial performance in calendar 2016 is relatively without meaning.  Hence, the Company has chosen to present the prior quarter, Q1 F2018, as the most meaningful comparable.

Beth Stavola, COO and President of MPX’s U.S. operations, added, “It has been a uniquely busy quarter for us operationally.  Current projects include the building-out of a third Health for Life dispensary in the Apache Junction suburb of Phoenix which we expect to open in early January and the three new dispensaries in Maryland which we are moving to completion early in 2018. As well, MPX’s construction of a 40,000 sq.ft. cultivation/processing facility in Fall River, Massachusetts is well underway.  Finally, the relocation and expansion of our Arizona processing division is moving into its final stage and we anticipate it to be fully operational in January, 2018. This addition will more than double the production capability of MPX concentrates for sale in the Arizona market.”

*Q2 2018 and Subsequent Highlights*

*Operational*

· Total revenues of $4.4 million, consisting of:

· Health for Life dispensary sales of dried flower and concentrates of $3.5M
· Wholesale sales of MPX concentrates and dried flower of $0.4M
· Sales of accessories and ancillary products of $0.5M

*Strategic Partnerships*

· On August 10, 2017, the Company entered into a strategic partnership agreement with MJardin, a professional cannabis management company that provides turnkey cultivation, processing and related services.
· On August 22, 2017, the Company entered into a term sheet with Panaxia Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. (“Panaxia”) outlining the binding terms and conditions of a joint venture agreement to be entered into whereby Panaxia will build and operate final assembly facilities within the footprint of existing and future cultivation facilities operated under licenses owned or managed by the Company.

*Proposed Transactions*

· Entered into non-binding letters of intent to acquire four management companies that each provide operational and other services to three medical marijuana dispensaries located in the Baltimore-Bethesda, Maryland region and one production operation.
· Entered into a non-binding letter of intent to acquire a management company that provides services to an operational licensee with a cultivation, production and dispensary license located in the Phoenix, Arizona area

*Subsequent Events*

· MPX entered into a definitive membership interest purchase agreement dated and effective October 11, 2017 to acquire 99% of the membership units of GreenMart of Nevada NLV, LLC (“GreenMart”), an award-winning licensed recreational and medical cannabis cultivation and production and wholesale business located in North Las Vegas, NV.  Completion of the transaction is conditional on certain regulatory approvals.  The total consideration for the acquisition will be USD$17.81 million, payable as follows:

· USD$9.5 million, non-interest bearing promissory note, payable in full on or before the first anniversary of the closing of the acquisition;
· USD$8.31 million in units of the Company, each unit, priced at CAD$0.75 consisting of one full common share and one quarter of one warrant to acquire one common share at CAD$0.75;

· On October 24, 2017, the Company made an initial drawdown of USD$10 million under the USD$25 million revolving credit facility.  The funds drawn down against the facility will be earmarked specifically for making further acquisitions, capacity expansion and the development of new facilities in Massachusetts and Maryland.
· The Company changed its name to MPX Bioceutical Corporation at its annual and special meeting of shareholders held on October 30, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”).

*Financial overview*

Below outlines the key financial metrics for MPX for Q2, 2018.  A more detailed discussion of these and other metrics, as well as operational events, can be found in the Company’s Financial Statements, Management Discussion & Analysis filed on www.sedar.com

Revenues

Revenues declined by 2.2% to $4.4 million compared to the previous fiscal quarter (Q1, 2018), and this was attributable mainly to foreign exchange translation. During the three-month period ending September 30, 2017, the Company’s Arizona dispensaries sold 271,405 grams of cannabis products compared to 267,927 for the previous quarter.  Of the 271,405 grams of product sold in the quarter, 236,454 grams was cannabis flower (87.1%) and 34,951 grams was concentrates and cannabis derivatives (12.9%).  This compares to 220,366 grams of flower (82.2%) and 47,561 grams of concentrates and derivatives (17.8%) sold in the previous quarter. 

Revenue for the three months ending June 30, 2017 has been recast from $5,105,123, as previously reported, to $4,465,438 due to an immaterial error that resulted in revenue being overstated by $639,685. There was an equal and offsetting overstatement of cost of sales, thus gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, net loss and comprehensive loss were not impacted.

The average selling price per gram at the Health for Life dispensaries increased from $14.76 in Q1 2018, to $14.94 in Q2 2018, driven by the higher contribution to revenues from concentrates and derivative products. Accessories, edibles and ancillary products contributed approximately $0.5 million.

As the Company completed the acquisition of its Arizona assets in January of 2017, no contribution from these operations was recorded in the prior year, during which only minimal sales of nutraceutical products were recorded.

The Company’s wholesale business in Arizona, which currently supplies over 40 Arizona dispensaries with its MPX branded products, generated $0.4 million in revenues, while ancillary products contributed $0.5 million to total revenues.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the period before adjustment for the unrealized gain in the fair value of biological assets was $1.9 million, which represents a gross margin of 42.6%. Gross profit after adjustment for the unrealized gain in the fair value of biological assets was $2.9 million, reflecting 65.3% gross margin, as compared to $2.7 million (53.6% gross margin) for Q1 2018. 

Expenses

Expenses for the quarter were $3.9 million, as compared to $3.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The increase in operating expenses was attributable primarily to an increase in professional fees to $0.8 million from $0.4 million in the previous quarter and an increase in depreciation to $0.5 million from $0.4 million in the previous quarter.

Net Operational loss and Adjusted EBITDA

The Company recorded a net operational loss of $1.0 million, as compared to an operational loss of $0.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. MPX’s revenue base for the period under consideration was attributable 100% to its Arizona operations, while additional corporate expenses are related to the Company’s expansion initiatives, which includes a strengthened corporate function and other overheads related to being a public company. Management anticipates that as additional assets, both in Arizona and in other States in which the Company operates become operational, revenue growth will outpace the related increase in expense.

Increased revenues from an improved mix of products sold in favour of higher margin cannabis concentrates were offset by overhead costs largely related to continued capacity expansion and resulted in Adjusted EBITDA of negative $0.3 million, as compared to a $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. 

Financing activities

The Company arranged a US$25 million revolving credit facility with Hi‐Med, LLC. The funds drawn down against the line of credit will be earmarked specifically for making further acquisitions, as well as, where needed, the development of assets obtained in any transaction.  

The principal amount remaining from time to time unpaid and outstanding shall bear interest at 7.0% per annum. The principal remaining, and any interest accrued, shall be repayable, in full, 36 months from the date of closing. In connection with the facility, MPX will pay a 2.0% arrangement fee on each advance made to the Company by the Lender.

The outstanding principal amounts can be converted into common shares of MPX, as follows:

1. up to an initial US$10 million of the principal and interest outstanding, shall be convertible into common shares at a conversion price of CAD$0.50 per common share.
2. any principal drawdown in excess of the initial US$10 million, and less than US$20 million, shall be convertible into common shares at a conversion price of CAD$1.00 per common share.
3. any principal drawdown in excess of US$20 million, and less than US$25 million plus outstanding interest payable on the outstanding loan amount shall be convertible into common shares at a conversion price of CAD$1.50 per common share.

Cash balance and liquidity

As at September 30, 2017, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $4.8 million, while current liabilities stood at $1.3 million. 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded net cash used in operations of $3.7 million and $9.2 million net cash used in investing activities consisting mainly of acquisition related cash expenses.  Net cash used in financing activities was $2.8 million.

The best of both worlds Reported by canoe.ca 4 hours ago.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Payout, Inc. (OTCPink:GOHE) (“Global”) is pleased to announce that its majority owned subsidiary, MoneyTrac Technology, Inc. (“MTRAC,” the “Company”) will be working in collaboration with its PotSaver brand to launch a publication that will be developed exclusively for businesses operating in the emerging cannabis industry. It is MTRAC’s intent for the premier “PotSaver Biz” publication to be released before the conclusion of the first quarter of 2018 and will complement the Los Angeles edition of PotSaver that will be released on January 1, 2018.

The genesis of a PotSaver Biz edition was sparked from the considerable amount of interest the PotSaver brand at the MJ business conference held earlier this year in Las Vegas. The leadership at the Company and PotSaver garnered interest from the many different owners and operators of a wide variety of businesses in cannabis and the many ancillary services in the industry.

MTRAC COO, Vanessa Luna said, “One of our biggest takeaways from attending the MJBizCon was how much better the cannabis industry can be connected from a business perspective through a publication such as PotSaver Biz. This publication will provide many of these owners, who are operating virtually every type of business in the industry, from lighting equipment to security services, an effective platform to market their products and services to the specific owners of other businesses in the industry that are in need of exactly what they have to offer.”

MTRAC intends for PotSaver to immediately begin ramping-up the sales and marketing efforts required to support the successful launch of the premier PotSaver Biz edition by targeting the thousands of businesses and brands throughout the industry that can boost their market visibility through a paid listing in the publication. MTRAC also views the launch of this publication as another revenue stream that they believe will contribute to a strong first quarter in 2018.

Businesses interested in a publication listing with PotSaver Biz are encouraged to visit www.potsaverbiz.com for more information.

TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Canadian Gift Association (CanGift) is thrilled to announce eight winners across three categories for the 2017 Retailer, Supplier and Sales Representative of the Year Awards.Taking Retailer of the Year is The Room Collection in Vernon, British Columbia. Owners Karen and Alison met on the first day of Kindergarten and, years later, did what no BFFs should do – they went into business together. Their team now includes Mary-Ann (the talented former owner of the store), Heather and Kate. They are united by their passion for all things interior, and strive to create a retail environment that’s a pleasure to be in.

The first of two Retailer of Distinction Award winners is The Dragon, a comic and games store in Guelph, Ontario opened in 1998 by Jenn Haines. At the time Jenn was looking for a more welcoming and inclusive comic shop and decided to deliver the vision herself. In 2016, The Dragon opened a second location in the south end of the city. The stores carry new comics and graphic novels, board games and card games, t-shirts, toys, and other merchandise related to sci-fi and superhero properties.

The second winner, Red Thread Gift Shop is part of Alberta Health Services (AHS) Volunteer Resources Calgary Zone that owns and operates six volunteer-supported retail shops called The Red Thread Gift Shop Program. The stores have honed a reputation for carrying unique merchandise in a welcoming setting. The stores are beautifully merchandised, creating the perfect oasis for patients, families, visitors, and staff, in what is typically a stressful environment.

The Large Supplier of the Year goes to Attitudes Import, a giftware and home decoration distributor operating outside of Montreal, QC, carrying a wide selection of product from seasonal decorations to interior home decor items and accessories. Over the years Attitudes has broadened their product line and now creates their own exclusive products for customers by designing many of them in-house.

The recipient of Medium Supplier of the Year is Torre & Tagus. Founded in 1993 by Tim Kroetsch and Cesar Gomes, the company is built on the foundation of providing unique, quality products and premium customer service. Based in Richmond, BC, collections are updated twice a year with hundreds of new items from around the world that capture the latest trends and styles for the home. Products are showcased at tradeshows and in permanent showrooms in Richmond, Atlanta, and Las Vegas.

Recognized with the Small Supplier of the Year Award, Bee By The Sea Natural Products was founded by Andrew Wingrove in 2008. Andrew started the company after a chance encounter with a plant while working abroad as a consultant in Asia. The plant, Sea Buckthorn, is best known for its healing properties. By combining Sea Buckthorn and honey in a year-long research and development project, Andrew was able to create the now bestselling Sea Buckthorn and Honey Body Cream.

Corporate Sales Representative of the Year, Rita Singor is a Sales Rep for Giftcraft Ltd., servicing southwestern Ontario. Rita started her career in the floral industry, spending 20 years working in both the wholesale side of the business as well as managing retail operations. She became a Sales Representative in the giftware industry 12 years ago and truly enjoys bringing the product to her customers.

Independent Sales Rep of the Year, Glen Vandermolen, from Kanata, Ontario, was introduced to the retail industry 21 years ago after retiring as a firefighter. Glen continued his father’s work as a Sales Rep and to this day represents one of the same companies. He feels fortunate to work with two remarkable customer-orientated suppliers in Frans Koppers Imports and Gourmet du Village. The latter has been represented by Glen and his father for 31 years between them.

CanGift's Retailer, Supplier and Sales Representative of the Year Awards are based on criteria that are vital to retail success including visual merchandising and store design, business achievements, advertising and public relations and community involvement. The winners are officially awarded at the Salute to Excellence Awards Reception at the Spring 2018 Toronto Gift Fair hosted by Canadian designer Andrew Pike.

Las Vegas, NV, Dec. 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Player’s Network, Inc. (OTCQB: PNTV), a diversified holding company in media and legalized Marijuana Industry (Green Leaf Farms and “WeedTV”) announcement on Nov 20th, 2017 of the confidential, out-of-court settlement of its $150 million lawsuit against media giant Comcast Corporation (view press release), seeks to answer shareholder questions about the company’s future, including plans to roll out its revolutionary Proprietary Media Technology Platform (see Players Network Media and Technology Report).

Most investors are now aware of the tremendous upside PNTV’s Green Leaf Farms subsidiary has created for the company and its shareholders, cultivating medical and recreational Marijuana and producing cannabis extracts for the Las Vegas and Nevada Markets. However, few are aware of the potentially even greater opportunities and upside via the company’s Proprietary Media Technology Platform, along with its media properties “Vegas on Demand”, and the soon to be officially launched, “WeedTV” channel.

New investors may not be aware of PNTV’s long history and exceptionally strong relationships with the casino industry. Prior to its entry into the marijuana market, PNTV launched the successful Video On Demand (VOD) channel, “Vegas On Demand”.   The PNTV team was an early pioneer in digital, short form and on demand programming that gained a national footprint with major public distribution partners including Comcast (CMCSA), DirecTV (DTV), Dish Network (DISH), AT&T (T), U-verse, Verizon Fios (VZ), HULU, and Google Video (GOOGL) to deliver over 650 million videos in 104 million television homes.  At that time the company did not possess the technology to adequately monetize “Vegas On Demand”, which lead to the company re-inventing itself.

In addition to entering the lucrative marijuana market by launching Green Leaf Farms, the company continued developing its Proprietary Media Technology Platform that is nearing completion. In its recently published Players Network Media and Technology Report, PNTV goes in depth to outline its strategy going forward. 

The first market PNTV will exploit with this new technology is the huge, medical and recreational marijuana market through adding “WeedTV” to its bricks and mortar subsidiary, Green Leaf Farms. 

This powerful Technology Platform allows businesses to intimately interact with, and target potential customers based on the lifestyle category of the videos they watch, providing consumers with resources intuitively presented to them based on their video viewing preferences, and allowing advertisers to reach a targeted audience demonstrating pre-disposed preferences toward the advertiser’s goods or services. 

“WeedTV’s” strategy is to use its wholly-owned, customized hybrid micro-casting platform to integrate high-quality recreational and medical marijuana content, category and general brand sponsors, and cannabis lifestyle talent and influencers to reach tens of millions of followers.  The newly developed Proprietary Media Technology Platform allows PNTV to do this utilizing a high level of activation and interactivity of its audiences and social media followers.  

To provide a frame of reference as to the economic payoff PNTV envisions, “WeedTV” will initially target 70,000 brick and mortar businesses and brands in the cannabis industry.  Assuming a 10% advertiser response at a modest $1000/mo, less than almost any other type of media or advertising, “WeedTV” could generate revenues of over $7 million per MONTH! 

While PNTV is excited about the potential for its marijuana subsidiary, Green Leaf Farms, management believes its new Proprietary Technology Platform provides the company an almost unlimited upside.

While settlement of PNTV’s lawsuit against Comcast will certainly help the company financially, perhaps the bigger, unforeseen benefit is that the issues that prompted the lawsuit in the first place, forced PNTV to reinvent itself. This led Players Network to develop its own Proprietary Media Technology in order to monetize video content on the Internet.  

And now, with a strong management team in place including CEO Mark Bradley, Chief Creative Officer Michael Berk, creator of “Baywatch” and hundreds of hours of Network Television, and Andy Orgel, a member of the founding, start-up teams of MTV, A&E and Nickelodeon, PNTV is ideally positioned to dominate the exploding Cannabis Lifestyle Category with the company’s new interactive network, “WeedTV”, and move aggressively to utilize its Proprietary Technology to re-launch “Vegas On Demand” and launch other Niche Lifestyle Channels.
