Our first Connect the Dots feature of 2019, Innovative Properties Inc. (dba Nabis Holdings) (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB), is already living up to the hype. As you know, our Connect the Dots features have become one of the most highly anticipated publications in the cannabis industry. And the excitement leading up to our first feature of 2019 was extraordinary as investors scour for an opportunity in this rapidly growing industry that is projected to be worth an astonishing $146.4 Billion by 2025.  This trend of investors searching for growth and life-changing, wealth-generating opportunities in the cannabis space isn’t changing. But another trend is…

The Trend is Changing

On April 11, 2019, our latest Connect the Dots Feature, (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB), seemed to have broken above a key downtrend resistance line that has held the stock down since early February 2019. Now, we are not licensed financial professionals, but it looks as though (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB) had been in a clear downtrend for 2 months, until today. As you can see in the chart below, (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB) gapped above the trendline on massive trading volume. Such heavy volume could also be a confirming breakout signal.

Investopedia.com defines a trendline as,

“A trendline is a line drawn over pivot highs or under pivot lows to show the prevailing direction of price. Trendlines are a visual representation of support and resistance in any time frame. They show direction and speed of price, and also describe patterns during periods of price contraction.”

And as you can see, (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB) has just broken above that trendline.

An educational trading website, tradingwithrayner.com, details a trading strategy centered specifically around buying trendline breakouts. The site explains,

“Introducing the Trend Line Breakout technique. Here’s how it works…

1. Wait for a pullback in an uptrend
2. Draw a Trend Line connecting the highs of the pullback
3. If the price breaks the Trend Line, then enter the trade”

The educational website uses the following chart as an example:

tradingwithrayner.com goes on to say,

“Here’s the logic behind it…

If the price breaks above the Trend Line, it tells you the buyers are in control and the trend is likely to resume…”

They key takeaway and similarity that we notice between the Trading with Rayner example and the chart of (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB), is the re-test of the downtrend line that was just broken. You will notice in the (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB) chart earlier, we pointed out how the low of the day on April 11, 2019, lines up perfectly with the downtrend line drawn on the chart. It appears the previous downtrend resistance line is now acting as support, just like we can see in the Trading with Rayner example.

Another key take away from this is bullet point #1, “wait for a pullback in an uptrend.” One quick look at the (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB) chart and you can clearly see a very strong uptrend during the month of January. The tock then experienced a 2-month slow pullback as the downtrend line was formed. And on April 11, 2019, the trendline was broken.

Another educational website, finvids.com, uses this chart example instructing readers to buy when the price closes above the resistance trendline:

Another Bullish Signal?

As we observe the (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB) chart further, we notice what appears to be a second bullish signal. This signal could be confirming what the above-mentioned educational websites tell us about a new uptrend ensuing after the break above a downtrend line.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, commonly referred to as the MACD, could be suggesting more upside is yet to come for (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB).

According to a well-known stock site, stockcharts.com,

“The signal line is a 9-day EMA of the MACD line. As a moving average of the indicator, it trails the MACD and makes it easier to spot MACD turns. A bullish crossover occurs when the MACD turns up and crosses above the signal line.”

If you look to the bottom of the (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB) chart above, you will see the MACD line has just recently crossed over the signal line. According to stockcharts.com, this is a bullish signal.

The website uses the below chart as an example:

As you can see towards the bottom of the chart after the MACD (black line) crossed over the signal line (red line) a strong uptrend followed. And we see something very similar occurring in the chart of (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB).

Strength in the Face of Weakness

As if these bullish indicators weren’t enough to get excited about, (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB) displayed signs of extraordinary strength on a day the entire cannabis sector sold off. On the same day (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB) broke above the downtrend resistance line, cannabis sector leaders like Canopy Growth (CGC), Tilray (TLRY), Aurora (ACB), and Cronos (CRON) all finished the day well in the red.

It could be a promising sign to see (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB) make such a potentially bullish move on a day the rest of the cannabis sector is weak.

More Than Just the Technical

According to the information quoted from several educational trading websites, the possibility of Nabis Holdings experiencing a strong uptrend in the very near-term seems high. But don’t forget, there’s a lot more to (OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB) than just a sexy stock chart.

(OTC: INNPF) (CSE: NAB) has already closed some of the biggest agreements in the cannabis industry. Their exceptional management team is known for building tiny dreams of a company into industry leading titans. Just like when they co-founded MPX Bioceutical (CSE:MPX) and then merged with iAnthus for $835M CAD.

So as you can see, our first Connect the Dots feature of 2019 has A LOT of reasons for you to start paying attention to it right now.

The legal Cannabis revolution is only beginning. The 80+ years prohibition against its use is now ending and the tides are clearly turning. Despite being illegal for so long, more than 37 million people in the U.S. and millions more in Canada use Cannabis.

As a result, the market for Cannabis in North America is already large and growing quickly. In 2018, more than $41 billion will be sold and by 2026 that figure will rise to $95 billion according to reports from firms like ResearchAndMarkets. What this tells us is that the next big stock market boom could be close behind; if not already at investors’ doorsteps.

A keen mix of product offerings, ancillary services, dispensaries, and even fields of green in the arena for cultivation have presented an immense opportunity. But the road ahead is being built on the “roll-up” strategy of what is a fragmented industry.

Simply put, 2019 could open the doors for companies to come in and put everything under one roof; which could mean major mergers and astronomical acquisitions. The road to success is also likely to be carved by those who’ve already done big deals in cannabis & the public space in general.

The Leadership Team Behind Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) Could Be Ready To Deliver In A BIG Way

The reason? Nabis & its leadership team have been part of and completed some of the biggest deals in the history of legal cannabis. The saying goes, “Don’t just invest in a company, invest in management,” and Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) could have the cream of the crop when it comes to influential players in the industry.

These industry-leading operators are the co-founders of one “small company” you may have heard of: MPX Bioceutical (CSE:MPX); one of the largest takeover offers in U.S. Cannabis to date when it merged with iAnthus for some $835M CAD!

Shay Shnet and Mark Krytiuk were the founding fathers of MPX and now serve as CEO & President, respectively, of Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF). They have decades of experience under their belts in not only overseeing operations but building successful brands & businesses from the ground floor. The skill set is broad and includes everything from product sales to cultivation processes, which for Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) specifically is the cornerstone of the company’s corporate focus.

Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) focuses on strategically investing in high-quality cash flowing assets across multiple aspects of the cannabis sector primarily in U.S. limited license states with a roadmap to expand globally. The strategy for the company involves identifying and acquiring majority interests in high-quality cash-flowing U.S. cannabis assets and brands in Limited License States at a reasonable price.

By deploying this roll-up strategy, the leadership of Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) could quickly capitalize on markets that are just in the early stages of growth and thus get an early market edge on its competition.

Cornerstones To Success

Nabis Management has taken a hands-on approach, which has proven to enhance the operational pedigree of their prior endeavors. This has been the cornerstone to success that the entire team at Nabis has adhered to.

Even the company’s advisory board is packed with industry veterans who can stake claim to billions of dollars in successful deals. Aaron Salz is the Principal and founder of Stoic Advisory. This firm has advised on more than $1.5 billion of cannabis M&A transactions since its inception.

Mr. Salz was a pioneering Analyst of the cannabis sector and has been frequently quoted in the press. Mr. Salz was an Investment Analyst at Interward Asset Management and spent over four years at Dundee Capital Markets (now Eight Capital) covering medical & recreational cannabis companies as an analyst.

Jade Green of Jade Green Consulting has also taken a position on the company’s advisory board. Her company is an elite cannabis consulting firm boasting a roster of clients whose combined valuations sit at over $6 billion USD. In addition, her background in biomedical applications has given her an opportunity to observe, advocate for, and target companies that can offer immense opportunities on the healthcare side of cannabis just as much as the recreational side.

Jade’s career achievements include directing strategy, establishing high-value distribution channels, advising on mergers and acquisitions, and accelerating business development.

With any leadership team, especially in such a space as cannabis, strong legal experience is critical. Nabis has that covered as well after appointing Ranjeev Dhillon of McCarthy Tetrault as special advisors to the Company. Mr. Dhillon helps clients successfully navigate the evolving demands of the high-growth cannabis market in Canada and abroad.

He advises clients on a broad range of corporate and commercial matters, including financings, private equity, and venture capital transactions, joint ventures, M&A, corporate governance, shareholder arrangements, corporate reorganizations and go public transactions.

Key Developments Cement Strong US Foothold

Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) hit the ground running in 2019. The company has entered into a binding Letter of Intent to invest in strategically located properties that have municipal approvals for provisioning centers in Michigan, USA, specifically the City of Detroit, Bangor City, Battle Creek, Constantine, and Muskegon.

“Nabis Holdings Announces Key Investments in Municipally Approved Properties in Michigan – One of the Largest Medical License Cannabis States”

These provisioning centers are strategically located near dense population centers and Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) believes these provisioning centers have the potential to generate upwards of USD $11 million revenue in 2019 and USD $43 million revenue in 2020 once State approval has been received and presuming steady market prices for cannabis within the State.

Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) is currently evaluating 10 to 15 additional municipally approved locations in Michigan which will substantially increase the Company’s overall presence in the US cannabis space.

Michigan represents one of the largest medical cannabis markets by registered medical patients in the U.S., having originally passed the Michigan Marijuana Act in 2008. With Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF)’s continued commitment to invest in research, innovation, and unique products to market, the Company is excited to contribute in one of the biggest medical markets in the U.S.

Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) is also continuing to evaluate investment opportunities across the U.S. in Limited License States across the cannabis ecosystem in high-quality cash flowing assets and have a large pipeline of opportunities which it expects to deliver on in 2019!

New Additions In Michigan?

The latest of these new opportunities have also materialized in 2 additional investments in municipally approved properties in Michigan. Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) has entered into a binding Letter of Intent to invest in an additional two strategically located properties that have municipal approvals for provisioning centers in Michigan, USA for a total consideration of USD $6 million.

The provisioning centers are located strategically in the City of Detroit and one property in Bay City. The existing municipal approvals with respect to the properties will expedite the State licensing process for dispensary locations under the new recreational cannabis regime in Michigan. These provisioning centers previously operated prior to the new Michigan State regulatory regime and generated unaudited historic gross revenues of approximately USD $9 million in 2018, with an approximate 30% adjusted EBITDA margin or approximately USD $3 million.

According to Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF), assuming the closing of the acquisition, Nabis expects the acquired provisioning centers to generate approximately USD $10 million annual revenue in 2019 and USD $18 million revenue in 2020, with estimated 30% adjusted EBITDA margins.

These two properties would take Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF)’s total to seven provisioning centers in Michigan assuming closing of the five properties previously announced on January 17, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating additional municipally approved locations in the State and in other limited license States.

The Smoking Gun

As with most cannabis companies, leadership is very important but so are results. Even in these early stages of growth, Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) already has a smoking gun that could signal rapid expansion potential.

The company has already raised $3.5 million that are teed up for the company’s growth strategy. According to the company, these proceeds are to be used for investments in cannabis-related companies and for general corporate purposes.

For those always looking for the next catalyst, Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) appears to be ready, locked and loaded to deploy serious capital for new projects.

And the landscape for this model could be setting up for ideal timing especially in the US. States are steadily legalizing cannabis on recreational and medical levels. In fact, 92% of states have some form of legal cannabis.

This normalization of the use of cannabis as an alternative to alcohol and even cigarettes has helped boost popularity. This is so much so that a number of companies outside the legal cannabis industry are scrambling to get in on the action. Constellation Brands has invested billions into the industry. Molson Coors is another alcohol company taking aim with strategic investments and most recently, Altria (makers of Marlborough) are said to be in talks with cannabis companies for a new endeavor into legal cannabis.

With the global legal marijuana market is expected to reach $146.4 Billion by end of 2025 management has identified and evaluated multiple ‘off-market’ vertically integrated opportunities. Its near term portfolio includes opportunities in Arizona, California, Massachusetts, Nevada, Michigan, and even the EU & Israel; all very prolific areas of opportunity for legal cannabis.

The beauty of it all is that the wealth of experience that its entire leadership & advisory team has, could give Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) a huge upper hand. The main reason, simply put, is that collectively they have seen endless deal structures, business operations, legal frameworks, and even sales strategies making the chances of a successful outcome that much greater.

Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) may be a newer company but the decades of experience and billions of dollars in completed deals make the management behind the company a driving force not to be ignored in our opinion. Nabis Holdings (CSE:NAB) (OTC:INNPF) has one team, one vision, and a $3.5 million smoking gun that could be pointed at the next big deal for this team to get behind.
