Highlights We were pleased with the results of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) announced...
Industry
Three Point Capital Corp. Minimally Impacted by COVID-19
Three Point remains focused on first mortgages on single family residential properties. At the end of Q3, first mortgages accounted for 93% of the total portfolio. The loan-to-value (“LTV”) remains low at just 55%. The MIC has been diversifying its portfolio into Ontario (“ON”). At the end of Q3, B.C. accounted for 62%, and ON accounted for 29%.
Kidoz Inc.(TSXV: KIDZ / OTC: KDOZF) Q3 Revenue up 161% QoQ and Beats Expectations
Q3 revenue was $1.9M, up 161% QoQ, and 51% YoY. We were pleasantly surprised by the spike in revenue as the outlook for ad spending this year had been weak due to the pandemic.
Inner Spirit Holdings Ltd. (CSE: ISH) Q3 Revenue up 49% QoQ, Second Consecutive Quarter of Positive EBITDA
Inner Spirit Holdings Ltd.’s Q3-2020 revenue was $8.09M, a YoY increase of 152%, and a QoQ increase of 49%. Net loss improved QoQ from $1.23M (EPS: -$0.01) to $1.01M (EPS: -$0.00). While revenue beat our expectations, gross margins were relatively inline; actual 2020 (9M): 47% vs our estimate of 48%.
Steppe Gold Limited (TSX: STGO / OTC: STPGF) Minimally Impacted by COVID-19
Unlike most gold producers, Steppe Gold’s operations have not been materially impacted by the pandemic as most employees reside on-site. Also, as 100% of the produced gold is sold within Mongolia, the company is not reliant on export channels.
Kaya Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: KAYS) – Vertically Integrated U.S. Cannabis Company to Tap into Growth Opportunities in Europe – Introductory Note
In this note, we are introducing Kaya Holdings Inc. (“company”, “KAYS”; market capitalization:US$6M), a U.S. based company operational since 2014. According to management, KAYS is the first publicly traded company in the U.S. to own and operate a medical marijuana dispensary. Their business model is focused on cultivating, processing, and retailing medical and recreational cannabis.
European Residential REIT (TSX: ERE.UN) A Unique Opportunity to Own European Rental Properties – Initiating Coverage
European Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (“ERES”, “company”) provides exposure to rental markets in Europe, with a focus on the Netherlands, one of the most attractive regions in Europe. The country is one of the top performing economies in the European Union, with above average per capita income, below average unemployment rate, and one of the strongest export economies.
Caldas Gold Corp. (TSXV: CGC / OTCQX: ALLXF) Closes Streaming Deal with Wheaton Precious/Q3 Production up 108% QoQ
Caldas Gold Corp.’s (“company”, “CGC”) Q3 revenue was up 108% QoQ. EBITDA improved QoQ from -$0.8M to $1.7M. Although revenue beat expectations due to higher production, EBITDA was lower due to higher than expected costs. We are raising our 2020 production forecast from 22 Koz to 23.5 Koz, but lowering EBITDA forecast due to higher cash costs.
FinCanna Capital Corp. (CSE: CALI / OTCQB: FNNZF) Starts Receiving Royalty Revenue
In Q1-FY2021 (quarter ended July 31, 2020), FinCanna Capital Corp.(“CALI”, “FinCanna”) generated $55k in revenue, of which, $44k was from royalties, and the remaining was from accrued interest (non-cash) from a loan offered to its portfolio company named CTI. Although we were pleased with the commencement of royalty revenue, they were well below our expectations. CALI reported a net loss of $0.44 million (EPS: -$0.00) in Q1. As Q1 was the first quarter of royalty revenue, we believe it is not appropriate to compare Q1’s performance with prior quarters.
Mammoth Resources Corp. (TSXV: MTH) Regrouping After Centerra Terminates Option
In September 2020, Centerra Gold Inc. (TSX: CG) notified Mammoth Resources Corp. (“company”, “Mammoth”, “MTH”) that it will not be continuing with its option agreement on MTH’s Tenoriba gold-silver project in southwestern Chihuahua State, Mexico. This move was totally unexpected as CG had recently filed a permit application to drill 139 holes, and had two drill companies bidding for a drill contract. CG stated that their decision to cease exploration was not a reflection of Tenoriba’s potential.
Gran Colombia Gold Corp. (TSX: GCM / OTCQX: TPRFF) Triples Dividend / Q3 Production Beat Expectations
Gran Colombia Gold Corp. Research Report : Gran Colombia Gold’s (“company”, “GCM”) Q3 revenue was up 36% YoY, while EBITDA and net income were up 50% and 168%, respectively. Although revenue beat expectations due to higher production, EBITDA was lower due to higher than expected costs. Q3 cash cost of $796/oz still remains on the lower-end of gold producers.
GMV Minerals Inc. (TSXV: GMV / OTCQB: GMVMF) Updated PEA Demonstrates Scalability and Flexibility
GMV Minerals Inc. research report: On November 3, 2020, GMV Minerals (“company”, GMV”) announced results of an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) on its Mexican Hat gold project in southeast Arizona. Management decided to update a previously completed 2018 PEA to account for higher gold prices and evaluate the economics of a lower throughput/lower initial CAPEX scenario.
Namaste Technologies Inc. (TSXV: N / FRA: M5BQ / OTC: NXTTF) Q3 Revenue Inline with Projections
Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste”, the “company”) reported fiscal Q3-2020 financials (quarter ended August 31, 2020), with $5.7M in net revenue, up 49% YoY due to stronger product sales, and in line with our expectations.

After a quiet Q2, the company ramped up lending in Q3; net mortgages outstanding increased 2.8% QoQ; management expects Q4 to be much stronger and lend approximately $100M in the quarter vs $48M in Q3 and $16M in Q2.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) – FY2020 EPS Missed Our Estimate by 0.04%
We had predicted the decline in iPhone sales as Apple had announced earlier that their new iPhone 12 series will only be launched after the fiscal year-end. We expect a strong Q1-FY2021 based on sales from iPhone 12.
Wearables, home, and accessories, and services reported strong revenue growth. Although we are concerned about increasing competition for iPhone, we are slightly raising our revenue and EPS forecasts for FY2021 based on stronger growth in wearables, home and accessories, and services. Our forecasts are on the conservative-end of consensus forecasts.
Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) – Q1 Revenue Inline, but EPS Beat Our Expectations
Highlights: Q1-FY2021 (quarter ended September 30, 2020) revenue was up 12% YoY, inline with our expectation, but beat market consensus by 4%. As expected, revenue was driven by a surge in demand for cloud services amid a work from home environment due to the pandemic. We expect a high percentage of businesses to move to a permanent work-from-home environment, even after the pandemic. This is positive for MSFT, and other cloud providers, as the recent surge in demand for cloud products will likely stay.
Grown Rogue International Inc. (CSE: GRIN / OTC: GRUSF) Q3 Revenue up 17% YoY, Inline with Expectations
In Q3-2020, the company reported $904k in revenue (in line with our expectations), an increase of 17% YoY, and a decrease of 23% QoQ. EBITDA also showed a similar trend, improving YoY, but declining QoQ. The Bay City indoor production facility in Michigan (acquisition expected to be completed by Q2-2021) received its first Class-C adult-use (recreational) cannabis production license in August 2020. Recreational cannabis prices were 30% higher than medical in September.

Farmako (wholly-owned German medical cannabis distributor) continues to be the source of revenue, while the other divisions await licenses. We are lowering our 2020 revenue forecast as we were expecting sales from the Delta and Winnipeg facilities to commence in 2020. Management currently estimates sales to commence in Q1-2021.
