Updated MD&A:
The Company has prioritized the expansion of this aspect of its call center business, achieving an impressive growth rate of 47% between 2022 and 2023. Although a single customer contributes a significant portion of its revenue and maintains a longstanding relationship spanning over 20 years, the Company serves numerous clients and operates various programs under this customer. Moreover, the ongoing initiative to enhance the customer service platform by introducing extra features and automated reporting capabilities is intended to streamline the reporting process for both the Company's customer care operations and its clients. This continual endeavor is aimed at enhancing the Company's revenue and profit potential.
During 2022 and 2023, the Company concentrated on various initiatives, including a significant focus on revamping its platform using cutting-edge POS Cryptocurrency software technology, particularly leveraging Android POS terminals. Simultaneously, the Company is actively seeking reputable exchanges and service providers to support its exchange transactions. Engagements with both local and global service providers are underway, with hopes of finalizing a solid agreement in the near future. Additionally, the Company wants to confirm that it still holds five bitcoins as an asset as of the current date. The objective is to roll out this platform specifically within Canada at this stage.
The Company maintains confidence in its proprietary platform, which is distinctive and caters to a wide range of users interested in conducting Crypto transactions with small amounts of money, as well as facilitating bill payments.
Management has contemplated merging the functionalities of the e-wallet and POS cryptocurrency platforms into a unified platform due to their shared similarities. This strategic direction has bolstered the confidence of the IT development team in the newly developed platform. Additionally, the Company plans to maintain a separate version of the POS Cryptocurrency platform for deployment within Canada. Recently, the Company has successfully renewed its registered license as a Canadian Money Service Business (MSB) with FINTRAC.
In recent years, our company has developed an extensive closed-loop prepaid card solution specifically tailored for our Libyan partner, Raseed. This solution serves Raseed's clients in Libya as well as regional banks. It allows banks and other clients to load funds onto their cards for use within the closed network of point-of-sale terminals. However, there has been a decline in demand for this solution due to waning interest and the continued availability of physical currency, which was the initial motivation for developing this platform. Consequently, we are committed to enhancing the solution and exploring its implementation in other countries where there may be a demand. Additionally, we are in discussions with our partner to identify further collaborative opportunities.

Information from todays MD&A:
Current Water’s revenues of $3,043,895 increased for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to $2,158,266 for the same period in 2022. This increase was due to the timing in the number of projects for both Current Water and Pumptronics and also the recognition of licensing fee received in the year. See Events note below and note 18 of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Project revenue for test units are normally recorded when risks and benefits of ownership are transferred, which is generally upon delivery. Receivables are normally due and payable within 30 days of delivery; however, management, in an effort to gain strategic relationships, may enter into a payment schedule with key customers who have an on-going relationship with Current Water and its technologies.
The net income for the year was $447,152, or approximately $0.002 per share, as compared to a net loss of $1,052,777, or approximately ($0.005) per share, in the prior year. Direct expenses include project materials, office salaries, labour, general overhead, professional consulting, travel, and a percentage of general and administrative costs. Direct expenses decreased from $2,027,085 in 2022 to $1,701,475 in 2023 due to timing of sales and technical staff, general overhead and professional consulting. General and administrative expenses include marketing, research and development, and accounting and auditor fees, as well as officer fees and public company expenses; these decreased from $636,100 for 2022 to $532,021 in 2023.

The largest oil company in Serbia, controlled by the Russian state giant Gazprom, is preparing the start of commercial production of crude oil and natural gas in Romania
NIS Petrol SRL, the Romanian division of the largest oil company in Serbia, Naftna Industrija Srbije (NIS), controlled by the Russian state giant Gazprom, with over 56% of the capital, is preparing the start of commercial production of crude oil and natural gas from the Teremia Nord field , located on the Ex-7 Periam and Ex-8 Biled perimeters in Timi? County, where NIS Petrol is the majority concessionaire and operator, with 85% stakes, according to data analyzed by Profit.ro.
The company is close to starting the construction of a technological station for the collection, separation and delivery of hydrocarbons extracted from the Teremia Nord deposit, in the commune of Dudestii Vechi in Timi?.
There are currently 2 wells drilled on the site and another 8 are to be dug, according to the project documentation. Within the station, the production of the wells will be collected, the liquid will be separated from the gas, the extracted quantities will be measured, and the crude oil will be stored and later loaded into car tanks. NIS Petrol has a contract with the Romanian state company Conpet, the operator of the national oil pipeline transport system, based on which crude oil is unloaded from tanks and reloaded into wagons at Conpet's Biled ramp, to be transported by rail to the Serbian refineries of NIS at Pancevo and Novi Sad.
The Romanian subsidiary of the Serbian company owned by Gazprom estimates a daily production at the Dude?tii Vechi site of 100 tons of crude oil and 165,000 cubic meters of natural gas , of which 60,000 cubic meters – gas associated with crude oil. Part of the extracted gas quantities will be used in the production of electricity on site, and the rest will be fed into the national transmission system operated by Transgaz. For this, NIS Petrol will build a pipeline that will connect with the Nadlac-Arad gas pipeline . The first positive results of the explorations carried out in the Teremia Nord deposit were obtained in 2017, as Profit.ro reported exclusively at that time. Experimental production started in 2019.
According to the latest data from the National Agency for Mineral Resources (ANRM), NIS Petrol is the majority concessionaire and operator of 4 Romanian hydrocarbon perimeters, all located in the west of the country: Ex-7 Periam, Ex-8 Biled and Ex-3 Baile Felix (in partnership with Canadians from East West Petroleum), as well as DEE V-20 Jimbolia (along with Armax Gaz). The concessions were granted in 2010 . 2 other oil agreements to which NIS Petrol is a party, those related to concessions Ex-2 Tria (in which East West Petroleum is also a partner) and Ex-12 Crai Nou (with operator Moesia Oil nad Gas), appear as inactive at ANRM. In the case of Ex-2 Tria, the agreement expired last year and was not extended, and NIS Petrol paid ANRM the value of the mandatory exploration works provided for in the agreement and left unexecuted , according to an official document analyzed by Profit.ro.
In the fall of 2022, several searches were carried out at the offices of NIS Petrol in Timi?oara, in a DIICOT file with suspicions of illegal transmission of information on local hydrocarbon deposits . NIS responded publicly saying that the company's basic principle is strict compliance with applicable legal regulations . Since then, the Romanian judicial authorities have not communicated any information on this topic. Over the years, NIS Petrol has faced problems in the prospecting stages of the Romanian concessioned hydrocarbon perimeters, the works suffering delays due to the refusal of the owners to allow access to the lands. The reasons were their fear that the operator would pursue the exploitation of shale gas through the hydraulic fracturing method , NIS Petrol repeatedly denying that it had this intention , or the desire to protect its business, in the case of farmers .
NIS Petrol SRL, which also owns in Romania a chain of gas stations operated under the Gazprom brand , as well as a 7.5 MW gas-fired power plant in Jimbolia , ended 2022, the last reported year, with losses of over 116 million lei, to total revenues of almost 712 million lei, according to the latest data from the Ministry of Finance. Since the start of activity in Romania, in 2012, and until 2022 inclusive, the company has reported losses every year, in the cumulative figure of over half a billion lei. The Serbian parent company NIS, listed on the Belgrade Stock Exchange, finished last year with a net profit of around 60 million euros, on total revenues of over 870 million euros. Its main shareholders are Gazpromneft, the oil division of Gazprom (50%), Gazprom as such (6.15%) and the Serbian state (almost 30%).

East West Petroleum Comments on Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2023
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 23, 2024) - East West Petroleum Corp. (TSXV: EW) ("East West" or the "Company") is pleased to comment on its financial results for the nine months ended December 31, 2023.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company generated revenue of $2,056,017 with direct costs of $1,842,854 resulting in a gross profit of $213,163 and after corporate expenses and other items the net loss for the period was $158,932. On October 31, 2023, the Company entered into an interim agreement (the "Interim Agreement") with Cheal Petroleum Limited ("Cheal"), the owner of a 70% interest in PMP 60291 and operator, whereby Cheal would purchase the Company's 30% interest in PMP 60291. The key terms of the Interim Agreement were as follows:
i. Purchase price of US $1,000,000.
ii. Effective date of sale is July 31, 2023.
iii. Purchaser assumes all reclamation obligations.
iv. Contingent consideration of US $350,000 should an additional well be drilled and completed.
v. Refundable deposit of US $250,000 (the "Deposit") on signing definitive agreement.
The terms described under the Interim Agreement were subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement. Closing of the sale (the "Closing") is subject to receipt of all necessary New Zealand Government approvals ("Ministerial Consent"), regulatory and TSXV approval as well as approval of the Company's shareholders. An annual and special meeting of the shareholders of the Company was held on December 15, 2023 and shareholder approval was obtained. As at December 31, 2023, the Company received conditional approval from the TSXV. On January 10, 2024, the Company and Cheal finalized and signed the definitive agreement (the "Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement") which formalized the terms under the Interim Agreement. The deposit due to the Company on signing was received.
Closing is expected to occur upon receipt of Ministerial Consent. In the event the Ministerial Consent is not received by May 31, 2024, the Company may terminate the Asset Sale and Purchase Agreement and if terminated, the Company will be required to return the Deposit. At December 31, 2023 the New Zealand property was, in accordance with IFRS, reclassified as assets held for sale.
In regard to the Company's Romanian assets, the Company and NIS remain in discussions in order to determine the path forward for the properties. All options remain under consideration including a monetization event. The Company is unable to comment on timelines to establish a path forward.
The Company has been reviewing a number of opportunities in both oil and gas and also other resource opportunities. The Company is focussed on closing the sale of its New Zealand assets and once the sale has closed, the Company will be in a better position to pursue other opportunities more aggressively.
At December 31, 2023, the Company had a strong cash position of $5,691,792 being just over $0.06 per share. With the effective date of the sale of the New Zealand assets being July 31, 2023, the Company anticipates it will receive total cash proceeds from this sale of approximately US$600,000. In addition, the Company will, if contingent conditions are met, receive additional consideration of US$350,000. On closing a significant gain on sale will be realized due to the purchaser assuming all reclamation obligations.

IoT solutions company raises cleaning standards
https://stockhouse.com/opinion/interviews/2024/02/14/iot-solutions-company-raises-cleaning-standards
The following is a transcription of the above video, and The Market Online Canada has edited it for clarity.
Our next company is Visionstate Corp. (TSXV:VIS), headquartered in Edmonton. The company is focused on delivering data-driven, innovative and sustainable IoT (internet of things) solutions.
We sat down with CEO John Putters, who recently spoke about the company and its recent projects.
TMO: For our listeners who may not be aware, can you provide a brief overview of Visionstate?
Putters: Absolutely, Visionstate is a publicly traded company on the TSX Venture Exchange, under the symbol VIS. Its core business is technology focused on IoT solutions in the facility management space. The company’s software tracks cleaning and maintenance activities in large facilities providing in-depth analytics and AI insights.
The company’s main product is branded as WANDA™️, and it’s actually the first line of defense in fighting infection by providing and ensuring a better cleaning environment.
TMO: Tell our audience about the company’s WANDA™️ technology and how it’s different than the competition.
Putters: The technology is fairly straightforward, and you know, some of the best advantages are like that.
The technology uses a mobile app with QR codes. QR codes are installed in facilities, its strategic locations and kitchens, hallways, that sort of thing. And the staff use those codes to scan with their phone, which timestamps their presence at that location, gives them a list of activities, what we call cleaning protocols.
In conjunction with this, we all also have sensors, for example people-counting sensors. And that data is also fed into our analytics. Once the cleaning staff completes a cleaning activity in a room, this information is submitted, and it goes into a database which provides actionable insights to the facility.
I think our main competitive advantage outside innovation, because I know a lot of companies say, well, we’re innovative, that makes us different, is really the fact that we have a global partner. And what this means is that, first of all, they’re focused in this area specifically in cleaning and hygiene, but it provides us access to a global market through their sales force.
And so as a consequence of this we are growing very quickly, and we believe that market share will be a significant factor in our ongoing competitive advantage.
TMO: What’s the approximate market size for the WANDA™️ technology?
Putters: Well, actually the market size is enormous, it’s in the hundreds of millions, literally. The reason being is that it really includes any type of facility in the world, you know, including office buildings, school divisions, airports, hospitals, universities, hospitality sector, shopping centres, and many others.
And, basically, Wanda™️ is designed to track protocols to ensure cleaning standards are met. This is an issue in basically every large facility, no matter what type of facility it is. So, the market for us is extremely, extremely large.
TMO: Moving on to growth, what contributed to the company’s growth over the past year?
Putters: Well, specifically, I mentioned that we do have a global partner that is passionate about IoT solutions. We re-signed our agreement with our global partner just recently, in October 2023.
Part of that is an annual retainer that they pay us on exclusive rights to distribute the product in Canada. And that doubled in that contract, but it also expanded the reach to Europe and the U.K., and we’re already doing projects in those markets. So, our business has accelerated significantly as a result of that contract. The partner we have doesn’t have a presence in the U.S. yet, so we’re also doing direct sales into the U.S.
We have a very large customer there called Blackstone Real Estate. It’s one of the largest private equity real estate companies in the world. And you would see WANDA™️ in their Class A buildings in Manhattan. They continue to expand as well. The company’s actually growing at a phenomenal pace. And our focus is actually on customer acquisition because we are a residual company or software as a service, as many know it as.
TMO: From a broader outlook, what does the company have planned for 2024?
Putters: We have several focuses for 2024 in Canada. The company is going to maximize its distribution agreement with its global partner by continuing to install in large facilities. And of late, we’ve been doing a lot of universities and, and part of the reason for that is, you know, the university wants to provide a clean, safe environment for students.
And this is one way of doing that and proving it. We’re going to maximize our opportunities in the U.S. in the meantime. We’re doing direct sales into the U.S., leveraging our existing customer base, but we’re also doing lead generation advertising and that sort of thing.
So, there’s a real focus on that, which aligns with our broader IoT solutions focus. Then, because of the new agreement, there’s this whole new market with Europe and the U.K. We’re putting in the infrastructure to grow that. But we’ve also got some ongoing installations that we’re working on right now, including (the) Uber head office in London, England.
So, they’re exciting projects and we’re starting to get a foothold there. We see 2024 is very exciting and a real growth year for the company.

Visionstate Q4 Management Discussion Highlights (Available On Sedar)
Accomplishments in 2023: In 2023, Visionstate Corp. achieved notable milestones:
• Signed a three-year agreement with a global partner, doubling monthly retainer revenue in Canada and expanding operations to key international locations, including the UK and Australia.
• Experienced significant business growth toward the end of the fiscal year, deploying WANDA in Canadian universities and doubling its footprint in the US, notably with its largest customer in that territory.
• Launched new Time of Flight (ToF) sensors for people counting, enhancing data insights for WANDA and proving valuable for facility operational performance analysis.
Strategy for 2024:
For 2024, Visionstate Corp. is strategically focusing on aggressive expansion in the US with WANDA. Plans include website upgrades for online subscriptions, lead generation strategies, and participation in major US conferences on cleaning and facility management. The company is also actively working on enhancing WANDA by developing new technology for equipment tracking and preventative maintenance which will be introduced to the market in the third fiscal quarter. The Company also anticipates launching ViCCi 2.0 in the second fiscal quarter which will further diversify Visionstate’s revenue streams.
Visionstate IoT Inc.:
Visionstate IoT Inc. specializes in developing technology, notably the "WANDA" product, for tracking and monitoring cleaning and maintenance activities in various environments. In fiscal 2023, Wanda evolved into a mobile version, WandaMOBILE, expanding its footprint beyond restrooms to become a complete facility management tool. The touchless and scalable nature of WandaMOBILE makes it particularly relevant in the context of COVID-19, aligning with new standards for interacting with publicly accessible technology. For fiscal 2024, Visionstate IoT Inc. is focusing on deploying WandaMOBILE, targeting large customers such as municipalities and school districts, with three-year contracts and monthly residuals based on activations per customer.
In 2023, Next Vision IoT Inc. developed IoT sensors for people counting using Time of Flight technology. People counting gives important context to facility management activities as it measures efficiency in cleaning and resource use against customer demand. The Company has since deployed 50 units to three locations in Canada including two university campuses and a large shopping centre in Calgary, Alberta.
On November 23, 2023, the Company announced that, subject to regulatory approval, it intends to complete an offering of up to 20,000,000 units of the Company (“Units”) at a price of $0.02 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $400,000. Each Unit is comprised of one (1) common share of the Company (“Common Share”) and one (1) Common Share purchase warrant (“Warrant”) whereby each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one (1) additional Common Share at a price of $0.05 per Common Share for a period of two (2) years following the date of closing. Between December 15 and December 21, 2023, $315,000 were received from subscribers for shares to be issued in late January 2024, which includes 5,000,000 Units issued to certain insiders of the Company.

CHF's Byte-sized Reviews - December 14, 2023
https://mailchi.mp/46ef98031cc4/chfs-byte-sized-reviews-december-14?e=79ef2b9dd7
Dear Reader,
I was recently reading the Canadian Smallcap Investment Blog post about Visionstate Inc. (TSXV: VIS) and its WANDATM Product, by Analyst and Strategic Investor, Edward Vranic, CFA.
WANDATM is a smartphone-based platform that can be used for any kind of work-related activity that is based on a checklist of tasks and can collect and store data generated through the processing and logging of those tasks. There are tasks that need to be undertaken, and tracked, but may be overlooked, intentionally omitted, or just otherwise forgotten, or even forgotten to be marked as done, without prompting from an app.
What I see as missing in the workforce today are solid aspects of time management and personal organization. A lot of time and energy goes into training workers how to complete the tasks and remain safe, but every job consists of several tasks. When working from a paper list of tasks it is easy to scan the list quickly and check off what the worker considers unimportant, things that “won’t get done today” picking the simple tasks most easily done and moving on. The best workers have learned from experience and organized their time, tools, and supplies to complete everything to the required standard, in minimum time. But not everyone is an all-star. What is needed is a tool that organizes the worker so that everything gets done, in the right order, on time, and nothing is missed or skipped.
Isn't it about time for WANDATM to get out of the washroom, and become a tool for getting the other jobs, in just about every industrial setting, done. Industries are looking for this tool, and struggling to develop and implement systems internally because they are not available in a form that they can use, in the marketplace.
Activity logging is the key as it provides QA/QC data that can be used to prove that the required inspections, maintenance, and safety precautions have been completed, correctly, even for legal purposes. Working on a smartphone allows uploading of timestamped photo and video records as well. Visionstate will also have access to the aggregate data of its clients. This can result in regional or national data on a wide variety of processes or desired outcomes. This data could hold substantial economic value or be used to improve practices and even foster better regulatory policy. Just think how much the data that could be generated, when WANDATM is implemented at a wide enough scale, could be worth. The data generated can then lead to better decisions made by the organization, and that can impact all facets of the business.
I encourage Visionstate to continue to grow WANDATM and expand its capabilities to get jobs done and to manage and coordinate the work. I look forward to WANDATM Ultimate: no limits.

CURRENT WATER TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATE UPDATE
Current Water Technologies Inc. has provided its shareholders and supporters with the following corporate update.
Marketing activities
Two thousand twenty-three has been a transitional year for Current Water Technologies, with the establishment of a sales and marketing team that is engaging numerous domestic and international parties in the oil and gas, municipal, agricultural, fertilizer, biogas, and mining sectors. Management believes the future is bright for the company's innovative AmmEL-H2 technology as global social and political sentiments are aligned, and governments urgently seek solutions to the ever-worsening climatic conditions.
Most notably, after successfully competing to earn the right to participate, Current Water Technologies has been an invited speaker at technology forums organized by Isle Utilities of the United Kingdom. Isle Utilities is an international independent technology and innovation consultancy that brings together engineers and scientists with extensive and diverse consulting expertise to facilitate relationships in the water, waste, energy, carbon and the build environment sectors. The Isle team supports innovation, technology development, strategy and growth, and investment, and is experienced in bringing new technologies to market.
Through Isle's global innovation forum, the Technology Approval Group (TAG), Isle has established a strong record in identifying emerging technologies and accelerating their market uptake.
During the first half of 2023, Current Water Technologies participated in two technology forums in Europe, which have resulted in continuing negotiations with several municipal and industrial entities. Markus Ingelsson, MSc, Current Water's manager, engineering and technical services, has been invited to speak at the Joint Western Wastewater and Pacific Northwest TAG meeting on Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023. This in-person meeting will be hosted by Orange County Sanitation District in Fountain Valley, Calif., and include participation of major regional municipalities.
In-house interactive pilot-scale investigative studies
Currently, Current Water Technologies is conducting stage 1 in-house pilot-scale investigative studies for several municipal and industrial clients. For its clients, these studies are an important proof-of-concept step prior to adopting the company's innovative technologies. Current Water's interactive program format enables client participation following completion of the optimization stage of the test program.
Successful investigative studies should lead to an on-site pilot/demonstration project and subsequently, a commercial installation.
Aquaculture activities
In the third quarter, Current Water Technologies received a purchase order for four additional AmmEL-Aqua ammonia treatment systems. The systems are scheduled to be delivered during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Following a busy first quarter, sales were relatively quiet during the second quarter. However, the sales and design team was very active, with the submission of 15 quotations, primarily for large to medium flood control/irrigation pumping systems. In August, 2023, a purchase order was received for a large flood control pumping system, as well as those for multiple smaller systems. Multiple sales for large to mid-size pumping stations are anticipated during the final quarter of 2023.

Visionstate Corp. has arranged a private placement to raise $400,000 for the issuance of 20 million units at two cents per unit, with each unit consisting of one common share and one full warrant exercisable at five cents for two years, subject to regulatory approval.
The proceeds raised will primarily be allocated to expand the company's product marketing efforts in the United States, where Visionstate IoT Inc., the company's main operating division, has already established a strong presence with several prominent customers. The targeted focus will be on resellers of the Wanda product, a cutting-edge facility management application designed to track cleaning and maintenance activities.

Set to launch in the first quarter of 2024, ViCCi 2.0 represents a significant evolution from its predecessor, leveraging artificial intelligence and conversational interfaces to provide advanced virtual customer assistance in brick and mortar settings.
Shannon Moore, president of Visionstate IoT, commented on the significance of these developments: "We are at an inflection point when it comes to facility management software. Like other businesses, facility managers are looking at new ways of controlling costs and ensuring efficiency -- our Wanda product enables them to do that, powered by analytical data on the operations."

It is anticipated existing shareholders and insiders will participate in the financing.

Shareholders residing in countries other than Canada need to meet local jurisdiction requirements to participate.
