SoundView Technology Group Issues NXT-ID (NASDAQ: NXTD) Update; New Growth via Partnerships

SoundView Technology Group Issues NXT-ID (NASDAQ: NXTD) Update; New Growth via Partnerships

BOSTON - January 5, 2016 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SoundView Technology Group (http://soundview.co) releases the following market and company update for NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD).

Market & Company Update

New Growth via Partnerships

In the course of selling Wockets directly to consumers via the their website (wocketwallet.com) and using specialized channels it's become clear that achieving large volumes and scale will come much faster using a B2B approach. Our first example is a new development and distribution agreement with a travel-focused company called WorldVentures.1

This has major advantages for NXTD investors. The company can focus on what they do best which is technology and product development and leverage large value-added industry channels like WorldVentures for customization and distribution.

The impact on numbers is dramatic - although the company will fall well short of our 40K unit estimate for 2015 they will greatly exceed our current 120K estimate for 2016. If all goes as planned NXT-ID will "pull forward" our volume forecast by about two years. Additional partnerships like the one with WorldVenturs are targeted for other consumer-oriented markets.

The "shift" to EMV or "chip cards" has muddied the waters in the payment space and made it more difficult for early Wocket customers to enjoy a high level of acceptance. Nearly every major retailer has adopted a slightly different method of dealing with the situation - some have turned off EMV, others support both EMV and traditional swipe, others see the mess as a good excuse to go "all the way" with NFC and mobile payments.

For NXT-ID that means rolling out an NFC-based version of the Wocket which will allow consumers to enjoy broad acceptance of their Wocket card and simpler use at the point of sale. The testing and acceptance process with the major issuers takes time so we're not expecting a new version on the market until 1H2016 but we fully expect the card payment space to remain in a state of flux through that time period. Meanwhile NXT-ID will have plenty to focus on in terms of delivering against their new deal with WorldVentures.
Our IV changes are detailed below but our new IV of $6.13 suggests large reward versus the risk reflected in the current share price. If NXT-ID were a private company doing a venture round the valuation would be at least 10x the current share price.

#WorldVentures and #Nxt_ID (Nasdaq: $NXTD) Form Strategic Alliance to Create Next Generation #SmartCard

—New innovation will allow WorldVentures DreamTrips™ Members to earn restaurant points towards free vacations.
—WorldVentures users to experience more convenient, more secure way to travel with one smart card.
—First iteration of concept to be introduced at the WorldVentures UNITED annual conference in Orlando, Jan. 15-17.

January 4, 2016 -- (PLANO, Texas) WorldVentures®, a privately held leading direct seller of vacation and entertainment club memberships and Inc. 5000 fastest-growing company, today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement with Connecticut-based Nxt-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD),  a company focused on the growing m-commerce market. The agreement calls for WorldVentures to make a strategic investment of $2 million in Nxt-ID to develop a proprietary new wireless smart card for its members—numbering in the several hundreds of thousands worldwide—based on Nxt-ID’s Wocket®, a unique smart wallet that serves to securely store all credit cards. The smart card will be customized with additional technologies and wireless features, such as the ability to seamlessly integrate with WorldVentures's DreamTrips App to wirelessly check in and earn loyalty points towards free DreamTrips vacations at select restaurants. DreamTrips is a travel club and entertainment community where Members enjoy exciting excursions year-round to extraordinary destinations.

The agreement also provides that upon completion of development, the card will be sold exclusively to WorldVentures to be distributed and made available to its Members.

In addition, the agreement provides for ongoing enhancement of the smart card with new product innovations already in development. Enhanced Next-ID technology is intended to:
§  Replace all cards in the user’s wallet
§  Store hundreds of credit cards, loyalty cards, records and other data, and be used virtually anywhere payment can be made with a credit card
§  Offers added identity protection for increased peace of mind while traveling
§  Allow Members to earn points at select restaurants worldwide that can be used towards DreamTrips vacations
§  Foster social interactive engagement with DreamTrips Members worldwide through its wireless App and card communication features

The strategic alliance supports WorldVentures’s mission to help its Independent Representatives and DreamTrips Members get more fun, freedom and fulfillment in their lives. “In this high-tech, hyper-connected world, we are enabling people to use technology in a more powerful and compelling way,” said Wayne Nugent, World Ventures Co-founder and Chief Visionary Officer. “And our Independent Representatives will be able to bring this exciting new innovation to travelers all over the world, making their experiences richer, safer, and more engaging and rewarding.”

WorldVentures fosters an environment where independent-minded entrepreneurs can build their own businesses, set their own direction and make a living…living!® The customized smart card is the first of many innovations that will help them do that. “This is only the beginning,” said Dan Stammen, WorldVentures Chief Executive Officer. “Our collaboration with the Nxt-ID executive and technology teams not only sets WorldVentures apart in the direct selling industry, but will allow us to develop the most technologically advanced human networking interactions through new products while continuously enhancing our current product set.”

Nxt-ID President and Chief Executive Officer Gino Pereira says, “We are tremendously excited about our strategic partnership with WorldVentures. This is a great example of the type of partnership that we are seeking in order to leverage our unique technologies. WorldVentures has an extraordinarily successful distribution model and a very talented and inspirational management team.”

WorldVentures will introduce the concept at its UNITED annual conference Jan. 15-17, 2016 in Orlando, Fla. “This year marks our company’s 10th anniversary,” muses Nugent, “and as we enter into the next decade it is no longer as a direct marketing organization, but as a technology company that uses direct marketing to bring exciting innovations, business opportunities and one-of-a-kind experiences to our members worldwide.”
