("Ortsbo"), a subsidiary of Intertainment Media Inc. (TSXV: INT / OTC: ITMTF / FRA: I4T) ("Intertainment") as previously announced on May 26, 2015.
The purchased assets include US Patent No. 8,983,850 B2, US Patent No. 8,917,631 B2, US Patent No. 9,053,097 B2, and other intellectual property including Ecommerce and Customer Care know-how for a total purchase price of US $17 Million, which will be paid by the assumption of US $1 Million in debt and the issuance of US $16 Million worth of Yappn restricted common shares (320 Million shares at US $0.05 per share). The transaction is subject to closing conditions including each party obtaining all necessary approvals, including stock exchange approval and shareholder approval, if required.
In anticipation of these transactions, on June 11, 2015, Yappn announced that its Windrose Global Ecommerce Platform ("Windrose" or "WGE") is now available at Shopify’s® app store. Yappn’s WGE application for Shopify® is a Microsoft Azure® cloud recurring fee based software-as-a-service (SaaS) deliverable that is a combination of a native Shopify® application (app) and a cloud-based real-time service and portal enabling E-tailers to expand their reach into up to 67 different languages simply and easily through an automated app install without any development or computer programming experience required on the user’s part. The Windrose app allows online stores to be viewed in multiple languages without the creation of additional Shopify® storefronts, making marketing, sales and support seamless and easy to both the customer and vendor.
Yappn also announces that it has completed a secured debt financing of US $4.5 Million of secured debentures and expects to close a further US $1 Million prior to the completion of the purchase of the Ortsbo assets. This financing is supported by Yappn’s secured line of credit holders and, as previously announced, Yappn executed a non-binding letter of intent with Winterberry Investments Inc. ("Winterberry"), a private company led by Mr. David Berry, pursuant to which Winterberry will facilitate and manage the financing transaction as well as to advise on Yappn’s future capital programs. This additional capital will be primarily used by Yappn to roll out its global Ecommerce expansion programs, and enable online Ecommerce technology companies, online vendors and development partners to enable real-time language programs to service a growing global audience.
"Execution of this agreement provides Yappn with ownership of key assets to move its business forward and continue to accelerate revenue programs and opportunities," said David Lucatch, Founder and CEO of Yappn Corp. "Throughout our development our key stakeholders, including our line of credit holders, have been very supportive and we believe that the agreement to engage with David Berry to lead our capital markets programs enhances opportunities and potential future value of Yappn."
The Company continues to expand its efforts with Ecommerce and communications as it has been testing a number of solutions to enable single language online storefronts to effectively market, sell and support E-tailing efforts, including the shopping cart, in multiple languages and is expecting a near term delivery of its framework for commercial revenue programs.

Starting at $14.95 per month for one language, with other language packs available, Windrose is an easy and cost efficient way to reach your target markets in their native language. As a simple cloud app, Windrose offers vendors the ability to build once and deploy their active online stores in up to 67 languages through a single store application that adds language(s), and not work, keeping and maintaining only one store, one inventory and one check-out. Now vendors will be able to market, sell and service from their native language to their client's native language without the need to add a team to support the additional languages with a simple, easily installed, Shopify® app."

Yappn's focus on a foundational framework, rather than individual systems and partners provides a more comprehensive, scalable approach to global integration with companies around the world.
The WGE Platform has advanced language and technology feature sets that create commercially applicable language instances, allowing vendors to offer a single storefront experience in multiple languages with capabilities from first-touch marketing and social communications to customer service, creating an end-to-end enhanced Ecommerce experience. This creates a global experience for both the vendor and customer in an efficient and effective environment, enabling complete scale of all online multilingual activities.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 25, 2015 / Yappn Corp. (OCTQB:YPPN)(“Yappn” or “Company”) is pleased to announce that under its partnership with TranzActive, it has received exclusive access to the United States Patent and Trademark Office patent for “Translation System and Method for Multiple Instant Message Networks,” for the social media and Ecommerce space.
United States Patent No. US 8,983,850 B2 was granted on March 17, 2015, and it is described as follows:
A method and system provides a graphical user interface for instant messaging on any of a plurality of instant messaging networks.

The translated message is sent over the respective instant messaging networks of the intended recipient contacts. Response messages are translated into the source language of the user of the graphical user interface.
The patent, with Provisional application in July, 2011, was formally applied for in July 2012, allowing for the protection of the technology where instant messages are translated for communication purposes between languages. The patent was granted to Ortsbo Inc., which is now branded under the name TranzActive, a division of Intertainment Media Inc (TSX VENTURE:INT / US:ITMTF / FRA:I4T), a majority shareholder of Yappn. Yappn has an agreement to exclusively use this technology across its network and a right of first refusal to purchase the properties of Ortsbo.
Yappn will be using the patent for its real-time language services offerings as it enables messaging as part of its real-time multilingual service suite of Marketing, Ecommerce and Customer Support programs globally.
“Instant messaging continues to gain momentum throughout the global landscape and is an integral part of the Ecommerce value chain as consumers interact with each other and brands,” said Mr. David Lucatch, Founder and CEO of Yappn. “The patent validates the initial programs that Yappn launched for its engagement model and allows people across the world to interact without a language barrier making it easier to communication with each other regardless of language or messaging system.”

Update: Yappn Corp. Exits Development, Generates Revenue, And The Market Still Doesn't Get It
Feb 17, 2015 9:32 AM | about stocks: YPPN, BABA, MSFT
Summary
Yappn has exited the development phase as its technology is now fully built
The global e-commerce space is a rapidly growing industry with impressive growth metrics forecast over the next decade
The company already has contracts in place, and is currently demonstrating performance in order to attract further commitments
Attractive business model with clear paths to monetization, lots of expansive opportunities, and well positioned for growth
A valuation of only ~$7.6 million presents a compelling opportunity for technology speculators
INTRODUCTION
Since I last covered Yappn Corp. (OTCQB:YPPN) management seems to have been very busy, issuing 13 press releases since my last article, advancing the business significantly. The contract with Digital Widget Factory, the partnership with VerbalizeIt, and the completion of its Windrose suite, were most notable. There is now revenue coming into the company, albeit a nominal amount, while it demonstrates performance. It has drastically enhanced its support and service offering from its new partnership with VerbalizeIt. And now that the technology development has been completed, and Windrose has been built, management can now concentrate on marketing and sales.
I believe that these recent press releases provide a much better explanation as to the business model of the company, which I will elaborate on and provide further detail in this article.

Over the past few months shares traded as low as $0.0379 on volume during tax-loss selling season in December, and as high as $0.0795 at the end of January. They seem to have since established around $0.055 - $0.06, which is in-line with the $0.056, 50-day MA. MACD is completely neutral, as is the RSI.
Shares are trading well below the 200-day MA of $0.102, which is also essentially the same price Yappn did its last raise. Given all the progress that's been made advancing its business model which has yet to be significantly realized through revenue or reflected in its market cap, I have been adding to my position in anticipation of an upwards break from the channel shares are currently stuck in.

A Silent Killer, A White Knight, And A Compelling Long Opportunity: Miraculins Inc. 2 comments
Feb 5, 2015 6:24 AM | about stocks: MCUIF
Summary
Diabetes is a 'silent killer', you can have diabetes for years without any symptoms and the only way to know for sure is to be tested
Huge market opportunity in the early detection of pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease
Scout DS® is cleared for sale as a screen for pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes in Canada, Mexico, and has been CE-Marked for the EU , with pre-submission documentation for de novo classification in the U.S. in process
Between $40-$50 million has already invested into the Scout DS® technology
Potential to scale quickly once marketing issues have been worked through, currently conducting pilot programs
The world is in the grip of a diabetes pandemic.
Diabetes is a serious health condition of elevated blood sugars where the body doesn't produce enough insulin to meet its needs, or the body does not respond properly to the insulin being made. Insulin is critical as it moves glucose into the body's cells from the blood. It is a disease that can have devastating complications and consequences
In human and financial terms, the burden is immense and it's now hitting the poor especially hard. Traditionally thought of as a disease of the rich, experts say the alarming rise may be fuelled as much by food scarcity and insecurity as it is by excess. New lifestyles, rapid urbanisation and cheap calories in the form of processed foods are putting more and more people at risk of developing Type-2 diabetes.

02/09/2015 [ACCESSWIRE]
WHITEFISH, MT / ACCESSWIRE / February 9, 2015 / Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States with over a million new cases each year, according to the American Diabetes Association, costing the healthcare system $176 billion in direct costs and the economy $76 billion in lost productivity in 2012.
The metabolic disease is characterized by the body's inability to produce enough insulin, or more commonly, to not be able to effectively use the insulin it does produce, both of which cause elevated and damaging glucose levels in the blood. While companies like Eli Lilly & Co. (NYSE: LLY) and Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE: NVO) provide artificial insulin to fill the void, there are no cures for diabetes that alleviate a patient's need for costly lifelong treatment. One of the best ways to prevent or slow down the onset of diabetes and its disastrous complications is to make dietary and lifestyle changes that inhibit its formation from the start.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to predict when diabetes is becoming a major risk as you can have it for years without any symptoms while it causes unseen internal damage. Pre-diabetes affects some 86 million Americans over the age of 20 (9 out of 10 are undiagnosed), but the only way to diagnose it is through invasive blood testing. Patients often delay undergoing these tests, which means that the preventable stage of the disease is often ignored and undiagnosed until it's too late and full-blown diabetes is developed requiring lifelong treatment.
The Advantages of a Non-Invasive Test
Miraculins Inc. (TSX-V: MOM) (OTC: MCUIF), a medical device company that acquires, develops and commercializes non-invasive screening tests to aid physicians in the earlier diagnosis of disease, is introducing a non-invasive diabetes screening test that takes just 90 seconds to complete. It has the potential to affect real change by making early diabetes screening easily accessible without requiring needles, blood draw, fasting, or waiting and by creating a tipping point for action, motivating patients at risk to seek medical care and attention before the disease becomes uncontrollable.

Mr. Andrew Ryu reports
LOYALIST TO SPIN-OFF HOUSING BUSINESS
Loyalist Group Ltd.'s board of directors has approved a strategic plan to spin off its student housing business into a separate entity. The Company is confident that transitioning the housing business into a stand-alone entity will better position it to capitalize on market opportunities and enhance shareholder value, while at the same time allowing Loyalist to focus on its fast-growing ESL, Career-College and Agency businesses.
"After a year-long pilot program we've grown our housing business into a small but profitable revenue-generating operation. Of far greater importance, we've learned how best to grow it substantially and rapidly, and to that end we feel it necessary to spin it off and raise capital separately. Our recent acquisitions of two overseas agencies will allow us not only to significantly grow our education business but also our housing subsidiary," said Chief Executive Officer Andrew Ryu.
"After a year of study we have come to realize that the growth opportunities in student housing are significant, from catering not only to Loyalist's large and fast-growing student body but also those of other schools, not limited to the ESL space. We believe that a large presence in the lucrative student housing market will deliver significant returns to our shareholders and I'm very eager to ramp up our efforts."
Completion of the transaction is subject to customary conditions for a transaction of this nature including, but not limited to, the receipt of all required corporate, regulatory and other third-party approvals. Loyalist intends to maintain an interest in the new housing entity post-spinoff.

Yappn Launches Windrose Global Ecommerce Technology Platform
YPPN | 10 minutes ago
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - February 2, 2015) - Yappn Corp. (OTCQB: YPPN) ("Yappn" or the "Company") a leader in real-time language technology, today announced that the Company has launched the branding of its global Ecommerce technology and services platform Windrose Tech (www.windrosetech.com) ("Windrose").
"Windrose was formed to provide a clear and distinctive brand for Yappn's proprietary suite of multilingual Marketing (pre-sale), Store (catalog, shopping cart and checkout), and Customer Support (post-sale) offerings for small, medium and enterprise customers aspiring to sell their online goods and services seamlessly in their customer's native language," stated Yappn COO David Bercovitch.
Windrose enables clients to increase market penetration and sell through with game changing real-time multilingual Ecommerce services in 67 languages through Yappn's proprietary technology and with its partner VerbalizeIt, increasing language opportunities to up to 150 languages, effectively reducing the localization costs generally associated with multilingual and regional Ecommerce programs.
Windorose offers its services through Ecommerce store systems and directly to clients through professional services and / or a percentage of the "upside" multilingual sales, minimizing start up and running costs. Windrose is already working with leading brands to enable their multilingual Ecommerce programs.
Windrose is a cloud based service platform, hosted on the Microsoft Azure® network. Windrose facilitates seamless integration of content into multiple languages in real-time, "on the fly" through proprietary lexicon technologies, algorithms, robust APIs and patent pending supported language services.
Windrose's proprietary technology and services enable clients to create natural language and specific customized terminology for language translation of the Ecommerce offerings, banners, in-stream ads, as well as social and marketing activities with Instagram®, Twitter®, Facebook®, Pinterest® and other networks along with full service customer support. Customer support services are also enabled allowing seamless conversations with customers, regardless of the language of the service representative or the users.
E-tailers and other Ecommerce vendors can now offer their clients, both domestically and internationally, the ability to have a "native" experience throughout the value chain, overcoming the language barrier and potentially increasing sell through rates while potentially reducing shopping cart abandonment and subsequently, the loss of sales due to language issues.
According to industry reports, Global Ecommerce sales are expected to continue to grow at a rate of more than 15% per year from 2015 - 2018, and 71% of consumers spend most or all of their time on websites in their own language. Of the estimated 2.8 Billion Internet users, only 800 Million speak English (with about 350 Million in North America) and the vast majority of consumers have expressed that they are more likely to purchase a product online if the site was in their own language.
"Online retailing is constantly evolving as companies continue to internationalize sales efforts," continued David Bercovitch. "To truly bolster sales growth in today's quickly evolving landscape, organizations are increasingly required to market and support their offerings in multiple languages."
Windrose's technology solution connects directly into an Ecommerce Software database from an electronic store provider or a client's custom built store in order to present the shopping experience in multiple languages from beginning to end, thereby potentially decreasing shopping cart abandonment due to issues of customers understanding the checkout process.
"The Windrose suite of tools is an amazing opportunity for brands and retailers to gain an edge in today's global economy by reaching customers in their native language," said Nathan Brandt, Vice President of Business Development. "We are working with companies to show them that they can grow their customers and communicate with their global community to open new and increase existing revenue streams cost effectively and efficiently."

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 12, 2015) - Loyalist Group Limited ("Loyalist", the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:LOY) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Kim Okran International Studies Centre ("Kim Okran"), a South Korean-based student recruiting agency that provides information and registration services to South Korean students looking to study abroad, particularly in Canada.
Kim Okran had consolidated revenue of $4.7 million and adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million for the 12-month period ended December 2013. Kim Okran's revenue is based upon commissions earned on gross student tuition fees of approximately $20.0 million.
"Building upon our recently completed acquisition of Uhak.com, the largest student recruiting agency in South Korea, the Kim Okran acquisition further enhances Loyalist's vertical integration strategy," said Chief Executive Officer Andrew Ryu. "By acquiring another one of our largest agency partners, we will be in a position to further reduce our direct costs of attracting students. The acquisition will also provide Loyalist with a strong source for growing its student population. We expect an annualized additional net benefit to Loyalist of approximately $2.1 million in the year following closing of the acquisition from increased student numbers and reduced marketing expenses. The Kim Okran team will make a fine addition to the Loyalist family."
Loyalist will pay $4.65 million for Kim Okran, of which $3.9 million will be paid in cash, subject to certain closing adjustments, and $0.75 million will be paid through the issuance of 1,442,307 Loyalist common shares at a price of $0.52 per share, with 75% of such shares being held in escrow for a period up to 12 months following closing as security for certain defined post-closing adjustments. The parties expect to complete the transaction on or around January 27, 2015.
