Sometimes, you just have to let the numbers speak for themselves. With 165,000 patients, Empower Clinics (CBDT:CSE) (EPWCF:OTCQB) has a database that almost every medical cannabis and CBD company would kill for … but then these numbers came in for the first two quarters:
Revenues $USD 1.7M vs $745,000 = 130% Gain
Patient Visits 12,400 vs 5,500 = 125% Gain
CBDT has now delivered growth in 4 successive financial reports (Q4, FY 2019, Q1 and Q2), so it is safe to say that superstar CEO Steve McAuley can officially claim victory on the turnaround he inherited in 2019.
But he is far from done.
In the last 36 hours, Empower announced:
1. The acquisition of an 8,000 sq ft lab in Dallas (they do everything big over there) that can process 4,000 COVID-19 tests per day. At the lowest price of $USD 80 per test and operating on just 1,000 tests per day, the clinic would deliver $USD 80,000 in revenue PER DAY. We will let you do the math with the combination of higher prices + more tests per day.
2. An agreement to run 1,000 COVID-19 RT-PCR Tests for a major film & TV studio, which could lead to much more business if all goes well with this first batch. To this end, the lab has already processed tests for six different film and television productions since September 1st (prior to the acquisition) and continues to build both confidence and credibility within the industry.
It doesn’t take much to see that the lab has the potential to take Empower to a whole new level. Specifically, if you’re an investor in Well Health (WELL:TSX) and/or CloudMD (DOC:TSXV) you have to start taking a serious look at Empower as the next great potential health and wellness company. It’s already proven solid revenues and growth from its clinics, is expanding its telemedicine practice very nicely and now has the power to quickly generate significant enterprise level revenues from its newly acquired medical diagnostics laboratory … which is already bearing fruit just 24 hours after the acquisition.
Can McAuley pull it off? First consider what he has already accomplished after inheriting a catastrophe of a company in early 2019. Secondly, McAuley is Six Sigma certified under the quality initiative of legendary GE (General Electric) Chairman Jack Welch. We’ve never seen a Six Sigma certified CEO in the Canadian small cap markets. Never …. which explains how McAuley has been able to guide Empower Clinics through the most disruptive retail environment in recent history and turn it into significant growth through Q2 2020 … with some jet fuel now added here in Q4.
And if you MISSED Well Health and CloudMD, you really need to take a close look at Empower as the next great small cap health & wellness company.

The global online gambling market could potentially hit $1 TRILLION by the end of this decade. That isn’t a typo and the reasons are pretty clear – more jurisdictions are legalizing online gambling to get their hands on the tax revenue and the remaining 40% of people on the planet without internet access are going to get it.
Until recently, however, small-cap investors did not have a company that could provide them ground floor exposure to this massive market and its growth over the next 10 years. The industry was dominated by the big traditional gambling companies, who focus heavily on old fashioned gambling.
That all changes with FansUnite, the small cap iGaming super company that goes beyond simple gambling and attacks both sides of the iGaming market by offering both B2C and B2B gambling platforms.
$5,000,000 Financing In Support Of The Acquisition
World Renowned Team
…. And now FANS just made a major leap forward in the esports betting world by becoming Pinnacle’s first odds & data B2B partners, giving them a major competitive advantage over other turnkey B2B esports betting products
“With Pinnacle’s addition and their relationship with GRID Esports, we continue to add the best esports betting data available with the most markets and the best odds. It’s exciting to be the first to offer Pinnacle Solution’ service, and we are honoured they chose to work with us,”
If that was all FANS had to say, this would already be a big announcement … but watch this interview to hear how fast they are moving on the biggest licenses in the gaming world, as well as, how big this industry is set to be in the coming years.
If you are looking for a disruptive technology company that is well positioned to carve out its share of the massive online gambling world, then you need to watch or listen to this interview with FANS CEO, Scott Burton.

If you haven’t heard of KWESST Micro Systems (KWE:TSXV) you’re not alone because the Company just listed for trading a couple of weeks ago – and it is probably the coolest new listing of 2020 if you love high-tech, covert defense systems that we only get to see in Tom Cruise movies.
KWESST is a leader in “soldier systems” which are technologies that increase the capabilities of soldiers, Let’s be clear right off the start, KWESST doesn’t sell weaponry. Rather, it sells technologies that make a big difference to the safety and effectiveness of soldiers.
For example, out in a field of combat, soldiers emit Electro Magnetic (EM) signatures that make them detectable by enemy combatants. KWESST has a battlefield decoy system that creates multiple false phantom signatures to spoof adversaries. This picture is worth 1,000 words.
We could go on about many other such technologies created by KWESST but this is AGORACOM after all and we want to get down to the business of KWESST, the highlights of which are as follows:
A developer of next-generation systems for forces around the world, including those of NATO and its allies
A leadership team whose experience spans decades and hundreds of millions of dollars in military and homeland security contracts
A sales and distribution network of agents that spans the globe
Partnerships with globally recognized OEM’s, including Samsung
A sales pipeline that stands at $93,000,000 (not a typo) as of August 2020
Already generating revenues in 2020
And last but not least, a secret weapon in its Executive Chairman David Luxton, whose companies under his leadership have generated over $1,000,000,000 (Yes, BILLION).
The soldier systems market is projected to hit $14.5 Billion by 2023 and, up until now, small cap investors have never had a company to participate in this lucrative (and SUPER COOL) market.
Now you do. Meet KWESST Micro Systems. Watch this first ever interview with David Luxton himself to learn about where KWESST is going.

HPQ Silicon Resources (HPQ:TSXV) is a Canadian producer of Silicon that is building a line of specialty silicon products needed for electric batteries.
More than just lip service, HPQ has already announced NDA’s with 2 undisclosed companies in the space and has hinted at other NDA’s that are so tight they could not even be announced.
5 YEARS ON THE SILICON ROAD LESS TRAVELED
Over the past 5 years, HPQ has teamed up with 2 world renowned technology partners to manufacture high purity silicon cleaner, cheaper and better than anyone in the world – because you can’t dig it out of the ground like other battery metals such as graphite, cobalt and nickel. Now HPQ is on the verge of sending samples of its industry leading silicon to NDA and other potential partners as early as December.
However, despite providing shareholders with a great return during this period, HPQ’s silicon strategy was still met by scepticism amongst investors who found it easier to understand traditional battery metal stories.
TESLA CHANGED EVERYTHING OVERNIGHT
This all changed 7 days ago on September 23rd 2020, when this headline emerged from Tesla’s “Battery Day”
“Tesla To Revolutionize Use Of Silicon In Batteries: Slash Costs, Increases Range”
With the specific references to Silicon + Cheaper Cost + Longer Range, you would have thought HPQ wrote this headline themselves given the fact this is EXACTLY what they have been telling the world for the last 5 years. Now, thanks to this headline, HPQ Silicon no longer has to convince everybody that Silicon is the holy grail of batteries …. Elon Musk and Tesla have done it for them in one fell swoop.
7 DAYS LATER, A GLOBAL AUTO MANUFACTURER COMES KNOCKING TO SECURE FIRST POSITION
This quote from CEO Bernard Tourillon says it all:
“To have piqued the interest of a major industrial player so early on, and to the point where they will pay for product before production just to secure a position, speaks volumes about where we are and what we are doing”
And this one from technology partner PyroGenesis Canada drives the point home:
“To receive this type of validation mere weeks after signing a Development Agreement with HPQ Silicon , and mere days after a major Battery Conference, which highlighted the importance of such products, is astounding. We are excited to see HPQ NANO effectively taking pre-orders from giants in the industry who, based on our experience, are not in the habit of wasting their time”
If you are serious about battery metals and electric vehicles entering a paradigm shifting parabolic stage in the next 5 years, then you owe it to yourself to watch this interview with CEO Bernard Tourillon.

As the name implies, ImagineAR (IP:CSE / IPNFF:OTCQB) is an Augmented Reality Company … but they’re not just any AR company. Imagine enables businesses to create their own mobile phone AR campaigns with no programming or technology experience. Why is that important? Ask Apple CEO Tim Cook who stated
“AR Will play an important role in how we use technology in the future – and promises to be as influential in our society as the smart phone”
For those of you that are just discovering Augmented Reality, “AR” is essentially a technology that lays digital images and graphics over the real world, typically by looking through your cell phone or special glasses. If you think it sounds like a gimmick, it isn’t. AR will create an entire new revenue stream for businesses, organizations and sports teams that will boggle the mind in the next 3 years.
ImagineAR provides small cap investors with an opportunity to participate in the growth of this mega market in the making …. and some of the smartest people in sports agree the Company is a best of breed company:
“In my 30 years working in sports and entertainment technology, I have never seen a solution that provides such a high level of interaction & engagement” (Chris Dill)
“The ImagineAR platform is years ahead of every other company today” (WaV Sports)”
“ImagineAR has one of the most amazing mobile technologies I have seen to date” (Gus Frerotte)
“The ImagineAR augmented reality platform is truly a gamechanger for sports organizations and athletes to deliver in-home mobile phone engagement” (WaV Sports)
If that wasn’t enough, the NFL Alumni Association believes it as well, signing a 5-year partnership agreement with ImagineAR to provide its Augmented Reality Platform for the launch of their new NFLA mobile interactive products. This agreement provides for equal program revenue sharing over the 5-year term.
On its own, this is a great partnership for ImagineAR. But in the bigger picture, this kind of 3rd party validation from the top of the professional sports food chain has just put ImagineAR firmly on the map.
Watch our interview with Alen Paul Silverrstieen, President & CEO of ImagineAR to find out what this partnership means to the future of the Company.

When a CEO puts this quote in a press release, you have to take it seriously, especially when his two technology partners helping deliver on it are world renowned:
“Since 2017, our collaboration with Apollon has enabled us to benefit from their world-renowned expertise with high value-added Silicon applications. The addition of manufacturing hydrogen by hydrolysis to our collaboration opens up a new and unique business opportunity that could represent a second multibillion-dollar addressable market for the PUREVAPTM Nano Silicon (Si) Reactor (“NSiR”) nanopowders.”
HYDROGEN BY HYDROLYSIS
Two technologies that could deliver vehicles with zero emissions are battery-electric powertrains and hydrogen fuel cells. HPQ is already on the road to becoming an electric battery player, with 2 NDA’s signed in the space – and now will be ready to start sending samples of its nano silicon powders to manufacture Hydrogen by hydrolysis, which is:
“Getting porous silicon nano powders to react with water “H2O” and thereby releasing significant quantities of Hydrogen ” H2 “.
For decades, hydrogen was presumed to be “the fuel of the future,” with electric cars limited to the niche of small, short-range urban cars – but hasn’t been able to deliver due to too many issues to mention here with fuel cells. Hydrogen by Hydrolysis is a great alternative but cost prohibitive due to the costs of porous silicon nano powders + power generation inefficiencies …. until now.
Enter HPQ Silicon.
HPQ Silicon is so confident it can solve this problem that it will have samples of its powders ready for delivery to Apollon Solar and the French Military for testing by December.

Sometimes you just have to let the facts speak for themselves. Telus is one of Canada’s largest telecom companies with over 9,000,000 subscribers and a market capitalization of $30,000,000,000 (BILLION) … and they had this to say about Loop Insights (MTRX:TSXV)
Andrew Turner, VP Strategic Operations at TELUS “TELUS sees great value in Loop’s real-time data connectivity applications across bricks and mortar retail environments. Known for consistently putting our customers first and driving innovation in the telecommunications industry, we are always looking to elevate our customer experience and provide our customers with more value. We look forward to seeing Loop in action, and learning how we can enhance the customer experience together.”
We don’t know if there is anything more to be said, with MTRX trading over 6,000,000 shares in just 4 hours today – but we will say this for everyone who is new to MTRX, who we’ve been pounding the table on for the last 3 months.
MTRX is one amazing CONTACTLESS technology company who was on its way to great success prior to COIVD-19 and has now risen to super relevancy across North America with 2 powerful applications (and revenue streams):
1. Contact Tracing – The process of identification of persons who may have come into contact with an infected person, leading to subsequent collection of further information about these contacts
If you are looking at all the size and dates of these announcements and noticing a trend, you should be. Loop Insights is starting to make some very serious inroads with some of the biggest organizations on the continent …. and it’s only September 17th.
Watch this incredible interview with MTRX CEO, Rob Anson and hear what else he has to say about where Loop Insights is going.

But he is far from done.
CBDT also just announced the potential acquisition of an 8,000 sq ft lab in Dallas (they do everything big over there) that can process 2,000 COVID-19 tests per 8 hour shift. At an average price of ~ $USD 90 per test, the clinic could represent $USD 180,000 in revenue PER SHIFT. However, until this acquisition closes, we’re not going to focus on it too much – but that could happen as early as next week.
Moreover, CBDT has to actually fill that capacity, which McAuley says he is working on right now with some enterprise sized discussions taking place as we write. Can he pull it off? First consider what he has already accomplished after inheriting a catastrophe of a company. Secondly, McAuley, is Six Sigma certified under the quality initiative of legendary GE (General Electric) Chairman Jack Welch. We’ve never seen a Six Sigma certified CEO in the Canadian small cap markets. Never …. which explains how McAuley has been able to guide Empower Clinics through the most disruptive retail environment in recent history and turn it into significant growth … and gives us optimism about this acquisition.
