Constant innovation is a leading watchword at Galenfeha, an established player in chemical injection automation and measurement for the oil and gas industry, as well as in advanced lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery systems for both large-scale oilfield applications and the commercial NEV (neighborhood electric vehicles like golf carts) market. The recent acquisition of highly accurate chemical injection pump maker Daylight Pump, which is known for their SCADA-based iWAV system, has paved the way for incorporating the company’s advanced battery technologies directly into their portfolio of injection platforms, which includes their DLP-P (pneumatic) and DLP-S (solar powered) systems. This move will not only help cement the company’s battery technology further, but also increase overall brand presence within the oil and gas industry, and ultimately help the company expand further into the production end of the sector.

Galenfeha is right where the action is too when it comes to the oil and gas industry, with corporate offices in Fort Worth, Texas, where, despite slumping oil prices that dropped to around $47/bbl in March before beginning their ongoing recovery (WTI is currently trading in the $58 range), the state actually surpassed 2014 production figures for January of this year, bringing in more than 74.7 million barrels, an increase of over 2.4% YOY. Oil output actually surged towards the end of last year as well, seemingly defying lower oil prices which were then around $53/bbl, with production up to the highest levels for December 2014 that have been seen in the state since the 1970’s – that’s Texas for you, everything is always bigger in the Lone Star State. The Company’s manufacturing facility is also in the heart of the industry, located in Shreveport, Louisiana, where the oil and gas industry is on track to surpass 2 million jobs this year according to economists at the Baton Rouge Business Report (BRBR), with another 32.6k jobs projected to be added next year. The oil and gas sector has been responsible for over $103 billion in CAPEX across a variety of industrial projects and BRBR projections indicate that over 2.7k jobs will be added in the Shreveport market alone through 2016.

There is rapid uptake of the company’s battery technology outside the oil and gas sector, where the environmental benefits of their cobalt-free, powerful, safe and yet long-lasting batteries, realized in a 40AH unit and a “powerhouse” 120AH 12V battery, have met with enthusiastic reception in the NEV market. But the response hasn’t really been surprising given the performance characteristics of the company’s battery technology, which has long since proven itself in the oilfield industry where extremely daunting requirements, like the ability to withstand vibration, high temperatures, and extended/continuous operation, have already validated the technology’s efficacy, as well as the company’s innovative designs.

It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words and a recent tweet from the company, showing a graph of the performance of an NEV before and after having switched to one of the company’s LiFePO4 (LFP) units says a great deal about just why people are flocking to these powerful, safe, and robust batteries. Another major reason for Galenfeha’s rapid uptake within what is an approximately $524 million domestic NEV market, according to recent research published by IBISWorld, is the company’s cutting-edge battery management system (BMS) technology and their constant work to continue innovating in this area. Beyond the rock-solid benefits of LFP electrochemistry, which is inherently safer than typical lithium ion batteries using cobalt oxide cathodes, due to the thermal stability of the iron cathodes employed in LFP, Galenfeha’s proprietary BMS intelligently manages the health and safety of the unit.

The BMS monitors temperature, current, voltages and charge levels, while actively protecting the cells from overcharge or discharge during charging, resulting in a longer lifespan for the battery and better overall performance characteristics. Moreover, these batteries are 70% lighter than standard lead-acid batteries, meaning less strain on the NEV motor and increased performance, and yet exhibit greater power density (potential energy draw rate) over the life of the unit due to significantly slower capacity loss. LFP batteries also charge quickly, with a 90% charge efficiency rating that helps to reduce energy bills and these batteries can also be left dormant for extended periods of time without the fear of sulfation, as is often the case with lead-acid batteries, discharging at an incredible sub-10% per year when left idle.

These characteristics make the company’s LFP batteries an ideal choice for various NEV markets like seasonal golf courses, as well as corporate and college campuses, construction sites, or anywhere light NEVs are increasingly being used to get around, including places you might not think about at first, like mining sites. We are talking about a battery system that can use existing OEM charging systems here as well, despite the numerous advantages and intelligent, onboard proprietary BMS. And yet these beauties also provide extremely stable voltage and current delivery to the motor, sporting as much as a 40% increase in total usable voltage.

With Galenfeha planning to move into military vehicle and troop applications in the very near future, spurred on by the ambitious targets set forth by the Department of Defense to not only have 25% of their energy come from renewables by 2025, but also move increasingly towards more of their hardware being hybrid and electric, the company could see a huge revenue vector open up in the near future for their robust, intelligent battery tech. The USS Makin Island for instance, a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship, is the first Navy ship ever deployed using hybrid-electric propulsion and is expected to save some $250 million on fuel over the vessel’s lifecycle thanks to this key design adaptation. Galenfeha’s move to secure MIL-SPEC certification for their battery technology could be the start of something even bigger for the company than their fast-growing NEV expansion, definitely something for investors to keep an eye on moving forward.

Interest in the toy market is back on the rise. Highlighting this fact, the Toy Industry Association recently reported that 2014 saw a four percent increase in overall industry revenue. One World Holdings, Inc. (OTC: OWOO), through wholly-owned subsidiary The One World Doll Project, is prepared to capitalize on the thriving market. The company has realized tremendous growth in market share over recent months, and it’s shown no signs of slowing down.

“We are pleased to report strong revenue growth in 2014,” stated Joanne Melton, Chief Executive Officer of One World. “[W]e look forward to a significant increase in sales revenue for 2015.”

In 2014, the company’s annual revenue increased by over 500 percent from the previous year on the heels of a collection of distribution agreements with some of the world’s largest toy retailers. In particular, deals with Toys”R”Us, Walmart and Amazon have put the Prettie Girls! brand on a promising global stage that should promote sustained growth in the future.

Maximizing the effects of One World’s expanded distribution network, the company’s founders recently completed a promotional tour in New York City which included features in numerous nationwide media channels, including USA Today, The Huffington Post, CNN and Fox. This tour, along with the company’s presentation at the International Toy Fair earlier this year, provides One World with a formidable springboard moving into the critical holiday shopping season.

“Our appearance at Toy Fair coupled with national distribution of our dolls represent major milestones for One World,” continued Melton. “[W]e expect to see even more sales as the 2015 Christmas season draws closer.”

The Prettie Girls! dolls are designed by industry veteran Stacey McBride-Irby. Throughout her 15 years with industry giant Mattel, McBride-Irby designed a host of iconic dolls, including Mattel’s first African-American doll line. The industry experience that she brings to the company sets One World apart from the competition, and forecasts for the coming months are increasingly bright.

According to the Toy Industry Association, the domestic toy market grew to approximately $22 billion last year, and the doll category accounted for just under 13 percent of total market share. With One World’s recent push through both retail and media channels, the company could be on the brink of significant growth within the industry. Look for potential expansions to current distribution agreements to provide the company with significant opportunities for increases in market share over the months to come.

Gas flaring is one of the most challenging energy and environmental problems facing the world today. Each year, approximately 150 billion cubic meters of natural gas are flared around the world, effectively wasting about five percent of global gas production. The problem goes beyond wasted energy, however, as the flaring processes also contribute about 400 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent global greenhouse gas emissions. Well Power, Inc. (OTCQB: WPWR), through its licensing arrangement with ME Resource Corp., is closing in on a way to turn this waste into one of the world’s greatest energy and environmental success stories in the coming years.

Through the continued development of its prototype Micro Refinery Unit (MRU), Well Power is creating a better solution for processing unwanted natural gas. Using proprietary technologies, the MRU is designed to provide the oil and gas industry with a financially viable solution to undervalued natural gas deposits. The unit is flexible, scalable, modular and fully mobile, meaning that it has the potential to reach oil fields in areas where the transport of natural gas to market simply isn’t feasible. Instead, the MRU can transform these natural gas deposits into a variety of valued end products – including Engineered Fuels, electric power and heat – on-site, through cost-effective and environmentally friendly processes.

Currently, Well Power has exclusive licensing rights for the MRU in the state of Texas, with first right of refusal for the remaining states. That gives the company significant opportunity to grow when its prototype unit is completed and ready for market. With a current pipeline shortage in rural South Texas, the Eagle Ford Shale is one of the country’s biggest hotspots for gas flaring, according to a report by the San Antonio Express-News. Pipelines, the principle method of transporting natural gas to market, are a costly and time-intensive endeavor, which increases the potential demand for Well Power’s unique system.

“When they have to move into a booming area, [installing pipelines] takes a while,” stated James Mann, a Texas attorney that specializes in pipeline cases. “You have to find welders. You have to see if a construction company is available. The schedule is filled with things that the pipeline company may have no control over.”

In one example, flaring was used while waiting for a nearby processing plant and pipeline to be constructed. Before the infrastructure was completed in January 2014, a total of 245 million cubic feet of natural gas had been flared on the property, and this case is far from an isolated incident. Through the development of a mobile solution to the gas flaring crisis, Well Power is creating a better method of enduring delays in pipeline construction. As the company continues towards marketization of its proprietary system, look for Well Power to make a significant impact on the booming oil market of the Lone Star State in the years to come.

Established provider of unified communications (UC) hardware, software and services, Cleartronic has been helping its government agency and business enterprise clients realize cost-effective, state-of-the-art solutions for years. These solutions are based on purpose-built, open-standard software architectures and feature a high degree of design and operating flexibility, as well as universal interoperability and scalability. Via the company’s two core subsidiaries, the 200 plus client, interoperable communications-focused VoiceInterop, and ReadyOp Communications, which is focused on exploiting the company’s recently enhanced strategic relationship with ReadyOp platform developer Collabria, Cleartronic has carved out a chunk of the global UC space.

According to analysis by leading market research firms like Transparency Market Research and Infonetics, the global UC market is projected to hit upwards (respectively) of around $62 billion to $88 billion within the next four years, growing at an over 15.7% CAGR from 2012 through 2018 on the strength of increasingly BYOD (bring your own device) workplaces and the ubiquity of video-capable mobile devices. The ability of advanced UC platforms – enabled by hardware like VoiceInterop’s easily affordable AudioMate 360 Series (AM360) of IP (internet protocol) radio gateways, which allow limitless audio endpoints from sources like analog walkie-talkies and two way radios, known as LMR (land mobile radio) repeaters – to be seamlessly meshed into a single digital unified talkgroup session, alongside control stations or remote control consoles, makes such UC platforms ideal for operating in geographically diverse or vast areas.

By converting analog audio to digital packets and sending them over the internet, using any connection format available from a standard cable ISP, to 2G through 4G wireless, or even satellite, all existing communication devices, be they radio handsets, telephones or desktop users with a headset mic, can be brought together in a real-time environment. VoiceInterop’s AM360 Series even supports Nextel and private iDEN systems for backhaul of data from sources like GPS sensors and external SCADA monitors. AM360 devices also provide active communication features like inbound or outbound group calls, as well as monitoring of inputs like broadcast and weather receivers, and the easily updateable AudioMate Communicator™ software console connects multiple AM360 gateways together with zero hassle. This solution means that any user within the network with clearance can pick up a phone or radio and immediately broadcast over PA systems at a given site or across a large campus, as well as speak to other users within a given protected talkgroup, or a trunked radio system.

Such architectures are an ideal way for airports, police departments, fire and rescue, or university campuses to coordinate in real-time and they also represent an extremely cost-effective way to modernize even legacy systems into a virtual UC environment, with very little setup time. Because VoiceInterop has so much experience developing customized applications, as well as handling the systems integration end of things and acting as an OEM manufacturer of systems like their IP gateways, this CLRI subsidiary can help clients tailor customized UC solutions to fit both their exact needs and their budgets, something which is especially important for state and local government agencies. This ability to bridge the gap between radio talkgroups effortlessly, irrespective of device manufacturer, frequency, or location, is a godsend for critical infrastructure entities and government agencies who must often contend with emergency scenarios, the resolution of which is more ably facilitated by having such a real-time unified communications solution at the ready, allowing for top-down command and control coordination of all field personnel and resources.

ReadyOp Communications has really emerged as a major part of CLRI’s business in more recent months, with the subsidiary’s formation marking the expansion of the license agreement between Cleartronic and Collabria in February of this year, as well as the decided shift from Collabria handling the lion’s share of the platform’s sales and marketing in-house, to Cleartronic’s subsidiary taking the lead role in marketing ReadyOp. A major reason for the success of this highly secure communications platform, as well as the need for the expanded strategic relationship, is how attractive the solution is and how much interest it has been generating. The ReadyOp platform is now doing over 100k transmissions daily, recently smashed through the 40 million total radio communications barrier, and continues to see growing usage of features like alerts, email, text messaging and other types of voice communications sent using the platform. This platform even includes an easy to use file management system that lets users send and receive any type or size of file, using encrypted cloud storage through Amazon-hosted servers.

Incident and emergency response planning is a huge market for ReadyOp and winning features like the platform’s visual management dashboard, which lets managers easily coordinate vast sums of personnel and logistics, allowing them to locate people, assign relevant tasks and keep everyone in constant communication, has kept the clientele rolling in. The lack of software install required and the ability to use basically any web browser, including a smartphone version, combined with the ability to send voice or data, quickly delivering notification pushes in every format from SMS to phone calls, means that the same platform used to tie together such disparate devices as two-way field radios, telephones and laptop users, can also be accessed securely from anywhere in the world where an internet connection can be established.

ReadyOp is a comprehensive SaaS solution for planning and preparation tasks which allows users to create and store highly structured operational or event plans, as well as personnel rosters, including details like multiple points of contact information for each user, displayed in a manner in which those points of contact are connected to individual’s roles and planned tasks. The platform allows provides an easily updateable logistics database that is used to track assets, including the asset’s specific location and any associated contact personnel. And the whole setup can be organized via a customized visual display configured by the user, enabling multiple groups to be organized and then tied together at the last minute without complications into a nodal framework.

All of these capabilities also make ReadyOp the ideal platform for reaction, mitigation and recovery during incident and emergency response scenarios. The ability to start multiple conferencing sessions on the fly, bringing in personnel from all over the place, irrespective of their communications device or which agency they are from, and then organize them quickly into sub groups for better management, is the kind of capability that may mean the difference between saving or losing lives during a disaster. Being able to quickly and easily share key intel like photographs and videos, or simply spoken situation report updates, via a secure interface, is often the kind of crucial capability needed to create order from the chaos of a disaster incident. ReadyOp even allows for out-briefing and after action report tasks to be performed in a consistent manner, providing complete time stamping of task completion and communication sessions.
