Novus Reports Q1 Results And Key Success Factors Following DEA Rescheduling
–News Direct–
Miami, Florida – (ThriveNewsWire) – Novus Acquisition & Development Corp d/b/a Novus Cannabis MedPlan (OTC Markets: (NDEV) is a leading national supplemental health insurance carrier and pioneer in offering cannabis in health plans for recreational and medicinal users. It released its update on its Q1 2024 results, Rx Dispensing Platform, and Key Elements that fuel its success after the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) announced that cannabis will be rescheduled.
Novus Cannabis MedPlan (Novus) has been integrating cannabis into health plans since 2015. With a network of over 1,200 agents, brokers, and dispensaries, Novus aims to make cannabis-based treatments more affordable and accessible through insurance plans, benefitting a wider range of consumers.
Here are three key highlights that contribute to Novus' success.
1) Financial Snapshot:
The company utilizes a receivable-based business model with minimal overhead and no convertible debt, demonstrating consistent organic growth year over year.
No Dilution: No common stock has been issued after June 15, 2021.
No Sales of Insider Shares: For close to 3 years
Gross Revenue Increase: During this reporting period, Gross Revenue increased by 6.8% compared to March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively,
Net Revenue Increase: During this reporting period, EBITDA increased by 19.47% compared to March 31, 2024, and 2023.
Profit Margin: During the reporting period, the company experienced a gradual increase in gross profit margins, with margins of 43.14% in 2023 and 45.2% in 2024
Cash and Cash Equivalents: There was an increase of 1.8% compared to the financial reporting periods on March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. This is in contrast to the higher increase of 6.84% in the period from March 31, 2023, to 2024.

Leak Out Vendor Shares: All vendors who received treasury-issued stock must gradually sell their shares. The selling amount is determined based on 15% of the average daily trading volume over the past 30 days.
2) Introducing the Rx Dispensing Platform
Novus is strategically positioning its cannabis health plans to become a prominent player in mainstream healthcare insurance by acquiring an Rx Dispensing Platform tech stack. Frank Labrozzi, CEO of Novus, stated, "This advancement will significantly impact cannabis in health plans. By promoting collaboration between brands and dispensaries, we aim to empower policyholders with more choices, enabling them to purchase the brands they prefer at any dispensary.
Cannabis brands can use the platform to connect directly with dispensaries and showcase their products at no cost. This will improve product distribution efficiency, increase brand visibility, provide real-time inventory data, and facilitate product research for the policyholder.
An added bonus to For Rec Users: This platform serves recreational users who prefer not to disclose personal information like their policyholder status to access plan benefits. Instead, users can discreetly order services for a small subscription or transaction fee.
3) Key Success Factors
Midwest Expansion: Novus has partnered with Heya Wellness, a prominent cannabis company in Missouri, to offer MedPlans to 4.3 million potential policyholders in the Midwest. By leveraging Missouri's favorable reciprocity laws, Novus aims to maximize the benefits for our sales hub based in St. Louis.
Health Carrier Alliances Integration with Traditional Healthcare:
By treating cannabis as a traditional pharmaceutical product and including it in insurance plans, Novus could help normalize cannabis use for medical, recreational, and non-users. Now that there is federal approval, Novus bridges traditional healthcare and the cannabis industry, enhancing major healthcare carriers who have expressed interest in integrating Novus' cannabis-based prescription plans into their benefits packages, establishing a connection between the two industries.
Compassionate Care Act (CCA): The CCAs, which the Supreme Court sanctions, typically focus on making medical marijuana accessible to workplace patients with specific conditions. Human Resources departments are revising workplace policies to allow employees to access medical marijuana through employer-sponsored health plans. Novus plans to cover some costs through tax-deductible health savings and health reimbursement accounts.
Opioid Settlement Framework:
The opioid settlement framework is a legal agreement aimed at resolving litigation against pharmaceutical companies and health carriers accused of contributing to the opioid crisis. It includes $50 billion for prevention, treatment, and recovery programs with the goal of mitigating the crisis' impact and preventing future misuse. Novus is playing a crucial role in reducing opioid use by offering states and private organizations alternative treatment options through our developed health plans that help patients transition from opioids to medical cannabis.
Compliance with the Veterans Affairs (VA): Veterans are increasingly interested in utilizing cannabis for treatmentover 88% support medical cannabis programs. Novus has developed health plans following VA guidelines to integrate cannabis benefits for veterans.
In closing: As Novus adjusts to the positive changes in federal cannabis regulation, we are prepared to utilize our niche approach to cannabis in health plans, which utilizes a receivables-based business model. This approach strategically enables us to organically invest in critical areas such as marketing, improving engagement with policyholders and providers, and establishing a reliable cash flow management system. This positions Novus as a significant player in the fast-evolving cannabis integrated into health insurance plans.

Novus Acquisition & Development Corp. (NDEV) operates through its subsidiary, WCIG Insurance Services, Inc., offering health insurance and related insurance solutions in states with legal medical marijuana programs. With a robust infrastructure covering various insurance lines, including health, life, and fixed annuities, Novus is a leading health insurance carrier, using two key indicators to gauge value and performance.
The Benefit Monetization Ratio measures the annual total of monetized policies, offset by the operating cost ratio, a Balance Sheet line item derived from Net Asset Value and calculated to the Price Book Value.
Novus' medical cannabis benefits package operates as an outside developer. It does not engage in any activities related to the cultivation, handling, transportation, growth, extraction, dispensing, sale, marketing, vending, delivery, supply, circulation, or trade of cannabis or any substances violating United States law or the Controlled Substances Act. The company adheres strictly to state and federal laws and has no intentions to violate them in the future.
It is important to note that statements regarding specific products have not been evaluated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and should not be interpreted as intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. The information provided in press releases and product labels is for informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for advice from qualified healthcare professionals.
Novus respects the individual transactions involving cannabis, which are solely between state-licensed dispensaries and registered patients. However, it's worth noting that state laws may conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act. The current administration has indicated that federal law enforcement agencies will not prioritize prosecuting those complying with state-designated laws concerning medical marijuana usage and distribution. Nevertheless, changes in government policies and consolidation could impact the provider network, and there is no assurance that future administrations will not alter this stance.
While Novus does not engage in the harvest, distribution, or sale of cannabis or cannabis-related products, the company could be affected if there were any shifts in enforcement by federal or state governments concerning existing laws. Such changes could result in significant financial implications for Novus and other industry players.

Revolutionizing Earnings: How Play-to-Earn (P2E) Games Are Transforming the Gaming Industry
The gaming industry is undergoing a seismic shift as Play-to-Earn (P2E) models redefine how players interact with virtual worlds. Unlike traditional games, where time and skill investments yield no real-world value, blockchain-powered P2E games allow users to earn cryptocurrency, NFTs, and other digital assets simply by playing.
This innovation is not just changing gaming—it’s creating a new economic paradigm where entertainment and income generation merge. From developing nations to high-tech economies, P2E is empowering players to monetize their gaming expertise, turning hobbies into viable careers.
The Rise of Play-to-Earn: From Niche to Mainstream
The concept of earning through gaming isn’t entirely new, but blockchain technology has supercharged its potential. Early pioneers like Axie Infinity demonstrated that players could generate substantial income, especially in regions with limited job opportunities. The game’s “scholarship” system, where asset owners lend NFTs to players in exchange for a share of earnings, became a lifeline for many during economic downturns.
Key factors driving P2E adoption include:
- True Digital Ownership – Blockchain ensures players fully own in-game assets, which can be traded or sold.
- Decentralized Economies – Games like The Sandbox and Gods Unchained allow players to influence in-game economies through governance tokens.
- Global Accessibility – With just an internet connection, anyone can participate, breaking down traditional employment barriers.
A recent analysis by Pinco highlights how P2E gaming is accelerating financial inclusion, particularly in emerging markets where conventional job opportunities are scarce. The report underscores that blockchain gaming could soon rival traditional gig economies in scale and impact.
The Economic Impact of P2E Gaming
The Play-to-Earn revolution is creating profound economic shifts that extend far beyond gaming communities. By introducing verifiable digital ownership and decentralized marketplaces, P2E models are challenging traditional notions of work and value creation in the digital age. These new economic systems are particularly transformative in developing economies, where they provide alternative income streams that are more accessible than conventional employment options.
- A New Class of Digital Workers. Professional gamers, NFT traders, and guild managers are now legitimate careers. In countries like the Philippines and Venezuela, players earn more through P2E games than local minimum wages.
- The Growth of Gaming Guilds. Organizations like Yield Guild Games (YGG) provide players with NFTs and training, taking a share of their earnings in return. This model has spawned a new form of decentralized employment.
- Mainstream Corporate Interest. Major brands (Nike, Adidas, Atari) are entering the space, launching NFT collections and virtual experiences, further legitimizing P2E economies.
The sustainability of these new economic models will depend on their ability to maintain fair reward structures while preventing inflationary pressures common to many token-based systems. As the sector matures, we’re seeing increased institutional interest, with venture capital firms and traditional gaming companies investing heavily in P2E infrastructure.
The Future of P2E: Beyond Gaming
The success of P2E is inspiring other industries to adopt similar models. Concepts like “Learn-to-Earn” (educational platforms rewarding users with crypto) and “Create-to-Earn” (decentralized content monetization) are emerging, proving that blockchain-based incentive systems have far-reaching applications.
As technology evolves, we may see deeper integration between P2E games and DeFi (Decentralized Finance), allowing players to stake, lend, and borrow against their in-game assets. This could further blur the lines between gaming and traditional finance.
Play-to-Earn is more than a trend—it’s a fundamental reimagining of value exchange in digital spaces. By merging entertainment with real-world earnings, blockchain gaming is setting the stage for a future where virtual and physical economies coexist seamlessly.
