The report is available here: October 2018 Update Note.

We are updating coverage of on Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB: GOPH). GOPH is a development stage technology company focused on creating native IoT and Artificial Intelligence-enabled mobile technology based on its proprietary platform, Gopher Insight™. The company's software and chip technology participates in three growing markets: Fintech / prepaid services, asset tracking, IoT, and global mesh networking. In the prepaid market, GOPH has established a network of approximately 9,400 convenience stores, which supported GOPH revenues of $13.5mn in 2Q18, and the company is actively seeking to expand business opportunities through this network. GOPH has launched its first IoT enabling technologies into tracking devices for pets (Guardian Orb). The company expects to launch its global mesh network platform in 2019, which leverages proprietary chip, AI and security technology to provide low-cost, secure private networks. We see GOPH as a speculative growth company targeting rapidly evolving opportunities in IoT/AI/Fintech markets. The company has begun to achieve scale with its prepaid distribution network, with potential upcoming catalysts including the commercialization of Gopher Insight™ technology in multiple markets and its announced intention to pursue a national listing.

We are updating our coverage on GOPH following recent results, corporate developments, and additional details on the company's plans to monetize its proprietary technology. Highlights are as follows:

• $5mn licensing deal highlights potential for monetization of GOPH technology. GOPH announced an agreement with Genesis Blockchain Technologies in which Genesis will utilize Gopher's mesh technology into its new blockchain-based radio generated digital currency. The deal includes a $5mn licensing fee, payable upon the initial coin offering, where Genesis has made a $0.5mn downpayment, as well as a 2% royalty on gross revenue of licensed products sold by Genesis.
• 2Q18 revenues were $13.4mn. GOPH generated $13.4mn in revenue in 2Q18, with the majority of revenues stemming from its fintech division, which consists of its prepaid services portfolio offered in 9,400 US convenience stores. 1H2018 revenues were $21.4mn. GOPH views the retail network as a strategic channel into which it can launch additional products and mesh network points of presence, and recently partnered with digital marketing company Mobiquity Technologies (MOBQ) to utilize Mobiquity's platform for enhanced marketing and location services.
• GOPH appointed a new interim CEO Doug Davis, a seasoned technology executive with experience establishing strategic partnerships and building businesses through organic and acquisition growth strategies.
• GOPH exploring national listing. Davis highlighted that a key corporate goal would be to pursue a national listing, with the possibility of a dual listing on an international exchange. The company added five independent directors and established audit, governance, and compensation committees for its board as an initial step in this process.

We see GOPH as a speculative growth company targeting large opportunities in the technology sector. The company has established scale with its initial distribution network in approximately 9,400 US convenience stores touching a possible 9.4mn consumers per day and is in the beginning stages of monetizing its proprietary chip and wireless mesh technologies.
