DOCASA, Inc. Coffee is taking the United Kingdom by storm and the British people are becoming hooked. (OTCQB:DCSA)

Enter The $10 Billion / Year United Kingdom Specialty Coffee Market W/ DOCASA, Inc. (OTCQB:DCSA)

Coffee is taking the United Kingdom by storm and British people are becoming hooked! It’s fresh, it’s hip, and it’s exciting – The CafĂ© scene that so many Americans embrace is reshaping the culture of the UK. And with 70 million cups of coffee consumed each day in the UK, the common satirical stereotype - a proper Briton drinking tea from fine china - couldn’t be a more inaccurate depiction of today’s British culture.
Spearheading the Coffee craze in the United Kingdom is a brand named The Department of Coffee and Social AffairsDOCASA, Inc. (OTCQB:DCSA). With a mobile app handling payments and orders, and apparel, and 13 locations in London, with a 14thlocation just released in Canary WarfDOCASA is on the precipice of becoming one of the biggest coffee brands in the UK.  DOCASA has been awarded London's Top CoffeeHouse accolade - as voted for by the public - in Harden's London Restaurant Awards 2016.
With aggressive expansion and a focus on quality and culture, DOCASA, Inc. (OTCQB:DCSA) is following the same pattern that Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) did in its infancy. Starbucks opened its first location in 1971 and by 1988 had grown to 33 locations. DOCASA, Inc. has reported revenues for three months ending 2016 of $810,214, with 13 operating locations. Similarly, Starbucks reported revenue of $1.3 million in 1987, with 17 operating locations. DOCASA is taking initiatives early, from a technological standpoint, with their fully functional mobile app. Much like the Starbucks app, the DOCASA app allows consumers to pay for their coffee without needing a wallet. In addition, consumers can accumulate rewards on purchases, find locations, and refer friends – all within the app.
In a play similar to Keurig GreenMountain, Inc.(NASDAQ:GMCR)DOCASA, Inc. (OTCQB:DCSA) has positioned itself to take market share in the instant brew, k-cup & coffee pod market. DOCASA’s subsidiary, The Department of Coffee and Social Affairs, is offering their award winning coffee in single serve Nespresso pods. The Nespresso machine by NestlĂ©  (OTCMKTS:NSRGY) is a direct contender to the Keurig machine. DOCASA understands that convenience is a top priority for consumers and the Company is prepared to bring the same coffee shop quality to the single-serve market.
Less known about The Department of Coffee and Social Affairs is the meaning behind the second part of the name ‘Social Affairs’. DOCASA, Inc. (OTCQB:DCSA) engages in humanitarian work in the UK and abroad through volunteering and international charities. One notable charity is the award-winning UK CharityPump Aid organization which provides clean water to over 1.35 million of the poorest people in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Company works on a number of joint awareness and marketing campaigns to raise awareness and fund the Pump Aid organization.
DOCASA has come a long way since their first cup of coffee was served in December of 2010. As of March 22nd, 2017, the total number of coffee shop locations will be 14, with the addition of the Canary Wharf location; positioned at the offices of a leading Fortune 500 company. DOCASA, Inc. (OTCQB:DCSA) plans to open in excess of 150 coffee shops in the UK over the next 3-5 years as part of its roll out strategy to become a prominent player in the $10 Billion Dollar United Kingdom specialty coffee market. DOCASA, Inc. is also pursuing franchising and licensing options for its branded shops and premium products outside of the UK. With the United Kingdom specialty coffee market expected to grow in excess of $20 Billion by 2025, DOCASA, Inc. (OTCQB:DCSA) is looking like an opportunity at these levels.

Turner Enters into Acquisition Agreement for Operating Bitumen Tanker Assets



The Company prepares to take advantage of proposed bipartisan $1 Trillion U.S. Federal infrastructure modernization plan


 

HOUSTON /March 14, 2017/ -- Turner Valley Oil and Gas, Inc. (the "Company") (“Turner”) (OTC:TVOG), pending name change to Turner Venture Group, Inc., is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement (“Acquisition Agreement”) to acquire the operating, profitable assets of an international bitumen tanker shipping company (“Shipping Company”) focused on the commercial transportation of bitumen/asphalt products worldwide used in paving roads and highways.



Acquisition Highlights:

·The assets being acquired from the Shipping Company are specializing in petroleum products and dry bulk commodities distribution which has experienced a recent downcycle creating industry distress and special situation opportunities.
·Commodity prices are expected rise again in the coming years and the Company expects strong upside potential from growing global infrastructure demand for bitumen/asphalt products.
·Turner is working with a full service investment bank which will be disclosed in a subsequent filing to acquire the assets and control of a highly specialized fleet of 5 (five) bitumen oil tankers with an average fleet age of 8 years and an approximate fleet value of $28,000,000 (Twenty Eight Million).
·The assets being acquired are being audited by Turner where initial numbers from annual operating revenues for 2016 are estimated at $14,000,000 (Fourteen Million), with an estimated 2016 EBITDA of $1,100,000 (One Million, One Hundred Thousand).


Transaction

Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, Turner will acquire the assets included herein of the existing Shipping Company in an all equity transaction involving the issuance of Preferred Shares of the Company, thus limiting dilution.

Turner and the investment bank believe that these assets can be operated more efficiently than the previous company was able to accomplish, and acquiring their assets at at attractive valuations will provide a competitive advantage. Turner is in discussions with prospective executives and board members with experience in international shipping to join Turner’s management team to run this new Turner subsidiary.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, the new shipping company will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Turner. A bitumen tanker company website with complete details and information about the new venture will be revealed soon.

New Pick: AlumiFuel Power Corp. (OTCMKTS: AFPW)

New Pick: AlumiFuel Power Corp. (OTCMKTS: AFPW)

Today’s new alert offers an interesting angle on things, combining three key concepts: Lithion-Ion batteries, Cannabis, staffing services, and a major squeeze potential on mechanical and technical grounds.


Symbol: AFPW
Company: AlumiFuel Power Corp.
Quote: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=AFPW
Latest News: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=AFPW+Headlines
Company Website: http://www.alumifuelpowercorp.com

Subsidiary:  NovoFuel (operating subsidiary of AlumiFuel Power Corp.) is a renewable energy company in the late development/early production stage which fields advanced energy technologies for a wide variety of backup and portable power applications. https://www.equitynet.com/c/novofuel-inc

Key Points:
 
AFPW just closed its second Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire staffing biz units that are worth a potential $2 mln in revenues (see breaking news here)
AFPW is a key player in the two most important small-cap phenomena in the marketplace this year: Lithion-Ion Batteries and Cannabis, as well as a new line of biz in the energy staffing space
• AFPW has a small trading float, which suggests the stock could launch higher on any additional influx of interest.
AFPW is coming off an RSI trough under 36, pointing to a massively oversold stock now heading back the other way.
AFPW just recorded a MACD Bullish reversal, suggesting a technical change in trend.
AFPW is seeing a monstrous increase in avg trading volume of late, with volume over the past day 340% above its average over the past 5 months. We are seeing major new interest here.


AlumiFuel Power Corporation (OTCMKTS: AFPW) promulgates itself as a company that operates as an early production stage renewable energy company that generates hydrogen gas and heat through the chemical reaction of aluminum, water, and proprietary additives. Its hydrogen drives fuel cells for back-up, remote, and portable power; fills inflatable devices, such as weather balloons; and replaces hard-to-handle and high pressure K-cylinders. 

The company's steam/hydrogen output also drives turbine-based underwater propulsion systems and auxiliary power systems, as well as is used as fuel for flameless ration heaters. It also offers portable balloon inflation system (PBIS)-1000, PBIS-2000, and PBIS-lite hydrogen generators. The company's hydrogen/steam generators also include turbine-based underwater propulsion systems, drop-in recyclable cartridges, and flameless heater packs. 

Further, according to the company, it focuses on developing hybrid renewable energy solutions for growing of medical cannabis and oilfield operations. 

According to recent press releases, this company is focused on market penetration in both the Cannabis and Lithium-Ion battery spaces. If you haven’t been living on the moon, you can imagine the implications of this combination.

We basically need to absorb the world’s entire Lithium-ion production”. That’s right from Elon Musk’s mouth, himself. Musk is of course the founder and CEO of Tesla Motors (TSLA), the world’s most important electric car manufacturer. This boom in Lithium is quite possibly the biggest story of the year.

In the U.S., the Wall Street Journal just did a piece showing that the mainstream popularity of electric cars will likely reduce gasoline demand by 5% to 20% over the next two decades, assuming that EVs gain more than 35% market share by 2035. Moreover, analysts are starting to project that market consumption of Lithium could triple from 160,000 metric tons to a staggering 470,000 metric tons by 2025.

As for Cannabis, we know this story well: According to recent reports, legal cannabis could be a $35B industry by 2020. The growth from here to there is roughly 2,187% growth in just a half decade, making legal cannabis easily by far and away the fastest growing major industry in the US over the next 5 years.

This election cycle is also now featuring a race between two candidates who are progressive-minded where it comes to legal issues in the sector, creating growing potential for Federal legislation on Marijuana legalization over the near term.

Bu that’s not all the possibilities here.

In fact, AFPW just made a very important acquisition, forming a wholly owned subsidiary, Energy Staffing Solutions, which just closed two separate an Asset Purchase Agreements to acquire staffing business units.

The asset purchase consists of the business operations including customer lists, contracts, fixed assets, leases and certain other intangibles for operation of the ongoing business. No liabilities were assumed.

Here’s the big point: The assets acquired produced more than $1 million in revenue in the last full year of operation with positive cash flow, on an unaudited basis. As previously announced, ESS signed earlier this week a license agreement through which Labor SMART will provide consulting services to ESS for assistance with establishing and expanding its business (See Full Press Release Here).

That represents a key cushion. 

As far as we can see, it’s difficult to pin this one down, but some kind of bounce seems utterly inevitable. You need to have it on your radar!

Seanergy announces agreement for early termination of credit facility resulting in a material gain

ATHENS, GREECE--(Marketwired - Mar 7, 2017) - Seanergy Maritime Holdings Corp. (the "Company") (NASDAQSHIP), announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement with one of its senior lenders for the early termination of a credit facility, which is expected to result into a material gain and equity accretion for the Company. Upon completion of the transaction, the gain to the Company is estimated to be approximately $11.4 million, which represents a reduction of approximately 29% of the outstanding facility. In addition, this transaction is expected to result in an accretion of more than 30% to the total equity of the Company on an adjusted basis1.
Stamatis Tsantanis, CEO of Seanergy commented: "We are very pleased to announce another important transaction for the Company, which should result in significant accretion for our shareholders. Not only are we growing our fleet but we are streamlining our capital structure to be in a position to further capitalize on a strengthening dry bulk market. In the past six months Seanergy has successfully raised funds from the equity capital markets and used this capital for highly accretive and productive purposes to grow its platform and enhance shareholder value:
  • We acquired two high-quality Capesize vessels at what we believe to be the lowest value paid by any of our public peers for similar ships in the last 5 years and grew our fleet's cargo-carrying capacity by 30%.
  • We agreed to the foregoing material reduction of one of our credit facilities that should have a direct positive effect on our capital structure resulting in $11.4 million in equity gains for our shareholders. 
Seanergy has become a notable player in dry bulk shipping by focusing predominantly on Capesize vessels. We strongly believe that the Capesize segment represents the best fundamentals of the dry bulk industry. We have been fully consistent in our business strategy and we shall continue to actively pursue transactions that are projected to further enhance shareholder value."
The applicable credit facility is secured by one of the Company's modern Sungdong Capesize vessels. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may, until September 29, 2017, satisfy the full amount of the facility by making a prepayment of the outstanding facility amount reduced by approximately 29%. The Company plans to fund the prepayment with cash on hand and amounts drawn down under a new loan facility which the Company will seek to enter into2. Subject to entering into the new loan facility, the overall bank indebtedness of the Company should be reduced by approximately 10%. The relevant gain from the expected early termination is expected to be recorded upon closing of the transaction in the second or third quarter of 2017.
