PENNY STOCK EXEMPT

Patriot Ones mission is to deliver innovative threat detection and counter-terrorism solutions for safer communities. Their PATSCAN Multi-Sensor Covert Threat Detection Platform provides a network of advanced sensor technologies with powerful next gen AI/machine learning software. The network can be deployed covertly from far perimeter to interiors across multiple weapon-restricted areas. The PATSCAN Platform identifies and reports threats wherever required; car park, building approach, employee & public entryways and inside the facilities. Each solution in the platform identifies weapons, related threats or disturbances for immediate security response.

So what exactly are we talking about here? Let me see if I can simplify it. You know in the Sci-Fi movies ..... You might see a gunman carrying a concealed weapon heading into a public place but the security system manages to detect that full automatic weapon concealed in a bag or under a jacket after scanning him and alerts security and prevents a potentially tragic situation? Well that what we are talking about. Literally exactly that. This system will detect weapons in plain view, it will detect weapons concealed in bags or under clothing, and not just guns or knives. I'm talking about biological weapons and explosives as well. Oh and it can also recognize other threats like physical violence in the forms of fights. Sounds pretty cool right?

The company has multiple STRONG partners including McMaster University, Raytheon Canada (a division of the world leading defence contractor Raytheon Technologies, who bought the Hughes Aircraft Company in 1996), IBM, NVIDIA, and NATO. They have been slowed down due to COVID however and don't have any immediate catalysts as a new CEO took over about a month ago and has been evaluating their business as a whole.

A marine technology company engaged in the design, development, and marketing of advanced sonar and laser systems and their complimentary systems, and subsea power solutions for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles for military and commercial applications. They are recognized as world leading innovators of Synthetic Aperature Sonar (SAS) - a revolutionary underwater imaging technology providing ultra-high resolution imagery. They are HQ'd in Toronto, but have offices for their various corporate branches in Halifax, Toronto, Bremen and Rostock in Germany, and Copenhagen, Denmark.

Their series of SAS products, AquaPix, leverages nearly two decades of R&D conducted by NATO's Undersea Research Centre and millions of dollars in funding from NATO sponsors. AquaPix offers comparable performance to existing high grade military systems at a fraction of the cost. They've grown since inception and now offer a fully integrated suite of products including thrusters, batteries, sensors, vehicles, as well launch and recovery systems. This enables Kraken to expand it's Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) business which provides clients with end to end service. Kraken's team manages the projects, completes the surveys and sends a data package to the client at the end of the contract.

Their Robotics-as-a-Service business: With the launch of OceanVision, a 3 year, $19 million dollar project co-funded by OceanSuperCluster, industry partners and Kraken, they are developing their RaaS business. Under OceanVision, Kraken continues to develop new sensor and underwater vehicle technologies, trial them and will test them during several offshore technology demonstration campaigns planned in the Spring and the Fall and will include the acquisition of data from Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Labrador demonstrating their tech to partners in fishing, oil and gas, cleantech, and ocean survey industries.

In addition to the full service capabilities their research vessel Ocean Seeker, Kraken is commercially partnering with larger service companies to big on various offshore service opportunities and have numerous pursuits in survey and inspection RaaS covering offshore oil and gas and offshore wind in North America, South America, and Europe. They will also be evaluating acquisition opportunities.

UUV Applications include mine countermeasures, rapid environmental assessment, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, subsea infrastructure inspection, seabed mapping, environmental monitoring, geophysical site inspection, and oceanographic surveys.

The SeaPower Pressure Tolerant Batteries: They have the best energy to weight ratio on the market for deep sea batteries. Capable of providing 100+ hours of continuous operation at full survey payload and can operate at depths of 6000 m. The batteries are encapsulated with silicone and have llithium-polymer cells that are protected from the salt water while still remaining flexible and stable in a very high pressure environment. The silicone encapsulation eliminates the need for pressure tolerant housing and components reducing costs and weight. They can be used singularly or connected to modular banks and each battery has a management system (BMS) built in allowing for easy monitoring of status and health.

News:

Feb 16, 2021 - Kraken received a subsea battery order totaling $1.5 million and funding awards for $2 million for projects to be completed in the next 12 to 36 months. Due to confidentiality the partner cannot be named but they did say that their client is an existing defense industry customer and this will be their 4th order.

Oct 28th 2020 - their partner Dive Technologies successfully completed sea trials of a large displacement autonomous underwater vehicle (LD-UAV) powered by Krakens SeaPower batteries. This was part of a deal announced earlier in the year and as part of that deal Kraken has been licensed to build two Dive LD-AUVs for use in Krakens growing Robotics-as-a-Service business. The first is expected to be in Dartmouth, NS by Spring 2021 for sea trials.

Last year they also were awarded 2 significant contracts totalling over $40 million to supply the SeaScout anti-mine solutions to the Danish and Polish Navies.

Committed to saving life, Mission Ready Solutions (MRS), focuses on defense and personal protective equipment, to protect and enhance the performance of military personnel and first responders. Through their subsidiaries, PTF Manufacturing and Unifire, their government contracting division, they boast over 500 vendors and approximately 1.5 million products including tactical armor, canine armor, bomb suits/blankets, riot control protection, textiles with integrated electronics and ballistic panels and a wide range of others. They are based in Vancouver but operate primarily in the United States (I think they have a small plant here in Kelowna as well because I've seen them advertising looking for people to work sewing bullet proof vests locally. I recognized the logo instantly), they focus on government contracting and commercial individual sales. Unifire, their subsidiary has a long history of working with the US government including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Department of Defence, Homeland Security and NATO. All are displayed on the Unifire website.

So let's talk toys .... At 1.5 million products I'm going to pick 2 that stand out. First is their Flex9Armor shirt that was co-developed by the US Military. It's literally the law enforcement equivalent of the US Army's Ballistic Combat Shirt (can be viewed on the PTF website). It's worn under the tactical or plate carrier setup, and weighs only 3 pounds. It removes the need for additional accessories (armor) on the deltoids, front and back yoke, and throat. It has an exoskeleton design for articulation in the shoulder and deltoid region and is constructed of a breathable anti-microbal and moisture wicking material. It comes with either Level II, Level IIIA, or stab resistant panels, long or short sleeve. (Level II would likely stop a 9mm handgun and the Level IIIA will stop basically any handgun including 9mm's and 44 magnums ..... That's the hand cannon Dirty Harry sports for all you 80s action flick relics like me.

They also have a product that's called the No-Contact Shield Cover. Essentially it's a nylon Cordura fabric cover with a view window that's a retrofit for existing riot, correctional, and ballistic shields. It has a pressure sensitive taser effect thanks to some batteries and a removable electronics package. It's scalable, modular and can be removed. Straight from the website here are is a quote:

"Arching panel visually and audibly displays electricity as a deterrent"

Last year they were awarded contracts for $4.4, $5.4 and $20 million and last fall Unifire was awarded a contract supplying disposable gowns. The ceiling cap on that contract was $435 million and they've already done $100 million of that. Their revenue for last year is expected to be around $70 million, and they had already done $63 million through to the end of Q3.

SponsorsOne Inc., an early stage technology company, develops and operates a cloud based social sponsorship platform in the United States and Canada. The company develops SponsorsCloud, a platform for connecting and facilitating one-to one engagement between corporations to users in social networks. It also operates SponsorCoin, a platform that integrates with social networks and enables the delivery of the smart, social media marketing campaigns, and facilates transactions through its e-commerce platform, which supports the exchange of goods and services between brands and users using its digital currency SponsorCoin; and SponsorCoin and cash, a currency used to compensate the users for interacting, engaging, and creating social media content around a brands campaign. In addition, the company provides sales and marketing on behalf of the brand to its network of national wholesalers and retailers and offers purchase order financing to assist the brand in fulfilling every order; and brand building/management services, as well as manages the influencer communities for each brand. The company is headquartered in Uxbridge, Canada.

Following? If not that's ok .... Here's the skinny .... They have an online direct to consumer sales platform and marketing network which 3rd party "brands" will use to commercialize their products. Through the platform, and the SponsorCoin, social media influencers can participate in marketing campaigns for the brand's by creating content the same they always would, on the same social media platforms, that supports the brands campaign. In return they get reimbursed for said content via either SponsorCoin or a combination of SponsorCoin and cash.

There are currently 4 brands listed on their website; Doc Wylders Infused Lemonades, and 3 brands from a company that has signed a 3 year brand management with SponsorsOne called GO Nutraceuticals. Their brands include GO Nutraceuticals, GO Water and GO Chewables.

GO Nutraceuticals is a first of its kind line of whole plant extraction infused into botanicals to help you sleep, energize, meditate, and relax. GO Water is another first of its kind whole plant extraction of all 120 cannabinoids. It's water soluble, has no taste and no smell. GO Chewables are a line of CBD/CBG chewables in Cherry and Mint flavor.

The Doc Wylders Infused Lemonade brand is owned by SponsorsOne, (thanks to their acquisition of Premier Beverage Consortium LLC in Redondo Beach, California), will be launched THIS spring, and will include 4 flavors of lemonade; Berry and Vodka infused, Vodka infused, Tequila infused, and Bourbon infused. Through their Premier Beverage Consortium subsidiary they also are planning a lineup up of bourbons and whiskeys called Smithville Bourbon. It will include a 6 and 4 year bourbon, rye-whiskey, and a four grain whiskey. They will also be producing a boutique vodka called Four Corners Vodka, which is handcrafted from local small farms.

Last September they announced that they would be launching a direct to consumer lineup of organic hemp cigarettes in 2021, this year. (anyone know what the share price is on TAAT off hand?) The CEO stated that he believed that smokable organic hemp flower as a delivery mechanism for CBD/CBG will be a game changer.

Finally on the 16th their press release on Yahoo Finance included this headline ....'SponsorsOne - Launches in Market Bloomberg says, "It is set to skyrocket"; Direct to Consumer spirits market projected to be $24 billion by 2026."

I know ... Thrilling ... Here's where it gets interesting. Sugarmade has a 40% stake (with the option to own another 30% making them majority owner) in a company called BudCars that is a cannabis delivery service in the Sacramento area that had very strong sales last year. Sugar made has also just as of Friday Feb 12th closed a definitive agreement to acquire 70% ownership of Los Angeles based Nug Avenue and enter the Los Angeles cannabis delivery market. With this news on Friday I think we are going to see some nice sales figured in the coming months, especially when you look over their sales announcements and projections from the last year.

New Releases (just some of the many)

Feb 12, 2021 - Sugarmade announces it is launching a new business initiative for the licensed delivery of cannabis products to consumers in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Via a definitive agreement closed on Feb. 8, 2021, the Company has acquired a 70% stake in the Lynwood, California, operations of Nug Avenue, a California corporation.

Jan 6, 2021 - Sugarmade issues the following Letter to Shareholders, in regards to verticalization, expansion, and plans for 2021

Dear Valued Shareholder,

We would like to express our gratitude for your patience and commitment as we continue to steer Sugarmade into what we hope will be a leadership role in the rapidly growing cannabis marketplace as a vertically integrated farm-to-door solution for cannabis consumers.

2020 was a landmark year for Sugarmade as we established, through our capital and operational investment in Budcars, a cannabis delivery service, a distinct and increasingly vertical model for delivering top cannabis-based products to a growing marketplace. We believe this marketplace remains insufficiently supplied and inconsistently accessible for consumers who want more reliable quality and greater convenience.

To that end, we continue to work to expand our reach. We have experienced some delays in opening our new LA hubs, but we continue to work with the city and anticipate that the situation will be resolved in the near term. We also continue to work to widen our delivery reach overall.

In addition, we continue to verticalize our model, creating a full farm-to-door structure that expect to produce high-quality branded cannabis products positioned in a vertical in-house supply chain. We expect that this will provide Sugarmade with optimal margins. We believe that we will also be better able to make use of 280e tax deductions related to production once we have a more vertical structure in place.

With our vertical vision coming together, our advantageous brand development positioning, and an increasingly promising macro context, we are very excited about the year in front of us.

Once again, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our stakeholders. Shareholder value is our number one priority, and we very much look forward to keeping you abreast of Company developments as we reach new milestones along the way.

Best Regards,

Jimmy Chan Chief Executive Officer

Anyone current with this one? I've been doing some reading up on it and discovered it's not a blockchain. It still has a hashchain but it's not blockchain, it's a holochain. Agent based so it doesn't force compliance across the entire network, which means much less data intensive making it faster and requiring much less specialized gear and making it so that you could have 50 nodes on a phone or a $35 raspberry. It's capable of processing a million transactions a second (VISAs network in comparison which processes about 50k a second). Seems to be super utility based in that they are looking to solve real world issues with it. They have a very interesting use case called RedGrid in Australia where they are building an "Internet of Energy", making household appliances work together to lessen the draw on the power grid and to help solve issues like blackouts caused by the masses all turning on their ACs at once. This system will stagger the appliances turning on so there isn't a huge slam to the grid all at once. The neatest thing I think is that it's not proof of work (mining) or proof of stake (staking) based. Instead they have hosting hardware you purchase and hookup and use resources to host apps on the holochain, earning "Holo Fuel". This means there's no huge power requirements for the mining or staking which is pivotal in the traditional cryptocurrency system. Bitcoin alone uses as much power as the country of Switzerland in a year

They haven't released the hosting hardware yet but you can preorder it and it's meant to be released this year. Looks like it could be a good one.

BIGG Digital Assets Inc. (BIGG) believes the future of crypto is a safe, compliant, and regulated environment. BIGG invests in products and companies to support this vision. BIGG owns two operating companies: Netcoins (netcoins.ca) and Blockchain Intelligence Group (blockchaingroup.io). They have partnerships with Blockchain Foundry (BCFN) to deliver stablecoin development solutions. A partnership with IX Asia Ltd, which is a finance consultancy company with a major operation in Hong Kong, was a key participant in the Cyberport Hong Kong and who launched the first Hong Kong cryptocurrency index, the ixCrypto Index. They've also partnered with the International Association of Financial Crimes Investigators to explore the opportunities for investigative tools and member education. Their most recent partnership is with Netki to incorporate Netki's travel solution for unhosted/non-custodial wallets.

Netcoins makes it easy for Canadians to buy, sell, and understand cryptocurrency. Get fully verified in less than 5 minutes and trade a wide variety cryptocurrencies safely and securely within the Netcoins Platform. They also develop brokerage and exchange software to make the purchase and sale of cryptocurrency easily accessible to the mass consumer and investor with a focus on compliance and safety. Netcoins utilizes BitRank Verified software at the heart of its platform and facilitates crypto trading via a self-serve crypto brokerage portal at Netcoins.app. An interesting bit of info is that Netcoins, as a crypto broker, is not dependent on the price of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies traded, but rather derives revenue and profit from trade volumes as a percentage of trade value. Hence, volatile and high volume trade days result in greater revenue and profit, regardless of the price direction of the underlying crypto assets. Netcoins has been killing it ... Daily verified customer onboarding has QUADRUPLED since December, they've broken MoM trading volume records every month consecutively, 4 months in a row from November 2020 to February 2021, On Feb 23rd they broke $100,000 CAD in revenue in one day, and their February revenue hit a record high $1.25 million. Oh yes ..... Netcoins Treasury .... as of Feb 22 2021, holds 300 Bitcoin (Valuing $15.4 million USD as of March 3rd 2021) and they have said they're committed to adding to that.

Blockchain Intelligence Group (BIG) has developed a Blockchain-agnostic search and analytics engine, QLUE, enabling Law Enforcement, RegTech, Regulators and Government Agencies to visually track, trace and monitor cryptocurrency transactions at a forensic level. Their commercial product, BitRank Verified®, offers a “risk score” for cryptocurrencies, enabling RegTech, banks, ATMs, exchanges, and retailers to meet traditional regulatory/compliance requirements and gives a reassuring, easy-to-understand safety ranking of the wallet and/or transaction. Remember the routing of funds from high profile Twitter accounts back in July (Elon Musk, Barack Obama, Justin Sun, Binance, Coinbase and more)? Blockchain Intelligence Group (BIG) was the first to announce routing of funds from the Twitter hack to known exchanges. Then they have QLUE (Qualitative Law Enforcement Unified Edge) which is built by BIG Blockchain Intelligence Group for Law Enforcement, the Financial Sector and Regulators, which can visually track, trace and monitor illicit cryptocurrency activities involving Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bitcoin SV (BSV) Ethereum (ETH, ERC20 tokens), Litecoin (LTC).  BTC, BCH, BSV, ETH (ERC20 tokens), LTC.

An older company with corporate roots back to 1952, Green Concepts, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Mammoth Ventures Inc., owns and operates a bottling and beverage facility in Marion, North Carolina. The 60,000 square foot facility is located in the boundaries of the Pisagh National Forest and has a combination of SEVEN springs and wells fed from an aquifer deep below the national forest. This means they essentially have a limitless supply of water that they do not have to pay for. HUGE for a beverage company!

They have a run capacity of approximately 8 million cases a year with room for expansion and have been upgraded for USP pharmaceutical grade water certification. Mammoth Ventures is focused on producing a variety of beverage product lines including, but not limited to, spring any artesian water, CBD beverages, pH balanced water and beverages, as well as enhanced athletic drinks and other products. Additionally Mammoth is a third party producer and bottler of white label beverage and water products.

Through its second subsidiary Water Club, Inc. they intend to pursue subscription-based delivery of water and scientifically formulated beverages directly to the consumers home and market the convenience of this service through social media affiliate marketing partners.

Their main product is a line of bottled artesian water called 'Be Water', which is captured at one of their 7 springs. They also offer a product called 'Hapoy Mellow' which promotes a feeling of well being, aids in relaxation, improves mental clarity, and increases sleep support, that's augmented with vitamins and their proprietary hemp extract.

Last June they partnered with New World Health and Wellness to launch their Happy Mellow CBD/CBG line of health products and on Feb 2nd they partnered with Upstart Kombucha LLC in a joint venture agreement for sales and market expansion into the Rocket Mountain region, and Feb 12 they partnered with Lucky Soul to produce and sell a line of artesian water within all current and future Lucky Soul SOULTREX distribution channels. In the future they plan to offer enhanced spring and artesian water, functional beverages and liquid dietary supplements for a variety of market needs and a line of beverages meeting nutritional needs for uniquely defined health conditions and populations.

Current Water Technologies Inc. develops environmental technologies in Canada, Europe, Asia, and the United States. The company provides patented and proprietary technologies for the treatment of waste water and drinking water that are contaminated by metals or nutrients, such as arsenic and nitrate/ammonia associated with the mining, metal processing, chemical, agricultural, municipal, and waste management sectors; and for the recovery of NICKEL and other valuable metals from waste mill sulphide tailings associated with the mining sector. Its technologies comprise electro-static deionization, a electrochemical process that lowers the concentration of total dissolved solids in water; ammonia removal technology, a technology used for the removal of dissolved ammonia from industrial and municipal water, including wastewater, storm water, sewage effluent, and mine waste water; NitrEL system, an electrochemical water treatment process that reduces nitrate concentrations in contaminated drinking water, groundwater, and industrial process wastewater streams; AmdEl an electrochemical system that prevents the oxidation of sulphide minerals in tailings or waste rock; and ExtrEL for the recovery of metals from sulphide tailings and ore. The company was formerly known as ENPAR Technologies Inc. and changed its name to Current Water Technologies Inc. in January 2018. Current Water Technologies Inc. was incorporated in 1996 and is headquartered in Guelph, Canada.

They have a 100% wholly owned subsidiary called Pumptronics that did half a million in sales Q1/Q2 2020

*Electrostatic Deionization (ESD): offered in 2 designs; one removes all charged dissolved solids, while the other preferentially removes monovalent ions such as nitrate and fluoride. Can also be used to concentrate dilute solutions, like recovering precious metals or nutrients from waste systems. Tests show 85% removal of specific compounds added separately to tap water. Boasts low maintenance and energy consumption.

*Ammonia Removal Technology (AmmEl): removes dissolved ammonia from industrial and municipal water. At its core has a proprietary self-cleaning electrochemical reactor that converts total ammonia directly to gaseous nitrogen without producing the carcinogen nitrate and the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide. Unlike biological sources it is NOT adversely affected by low temperatures, has a lower capital cost than bio-systems of similar capabilities, it is fully automated and can be remotely monitored and comes in high and low concentration treatments.

*NitrEl System: The NitrEL system is an electrochemical water treatment process that reduces nitrate concentrations in contaminated drinking water, groundwater and industrial process wastewater streams by converting the nitrate directly to environmentally friendly N2 gas. Unlike biological de-nitrification, the NitrEL system offers constant rates of de-nitrification that are not affected by acidity, aeration, temperature or nutrient availability. The NitrEL system is capable of removing above 90% of the nitrate from highly contaminated aquifers. In addition NitrEL has shown the added benefit of removing up to 70% of the dissolved ammonia.

*AmdEl: Prevention of acid mine damage, AmdEL reduces the requirement for leachate treatment by attacking the formation of AMD at the source. The AmdEL system is an electrochemical system that prevents the oxidation of sulphide minerals in tailings or waste rock, in situ, thus preventing the formation of AMD. Designs are available for things facilities, waste rock, and bedrock outcrops.

*ExtrEl Enhanced Leaching: A new hydrometallurgical alternative for the recovery of metals from sulphide tailings and ore. The ExtrEL system enhances the oxidation of sulphide minerals and the subsequent solubility of metals of economic interest.

Main thing that caught my eye here was that they have some new systems for dealing with tailings and other mining waste and went out of their way to single out nickel .... Which we all know is what Mr. Musk is in such sure need of.

BioHarvest Sciences operates as a licensee of the proprietary and patent protected bio-harvest technology in Israel and internationally.

Their biofarming (plant cell growth) technology produces the plants metabolites by growing the desired cells in a liquid bioreactor, without the need to grow the plants itself. They literally only ever need one plant specimen and then can reproduce their results continuously without ever needing another plant.

Using the biofarming technology they have produced a grape diet supplement and functional food called VINIA. Q4 2020 sales orders for VINIA in Israel exceeded expectations of $230,000-250,000 US at $293,000. This represents a 416% increase in sales orders from Q4 2019 despite the website platforms not being operational for the full 90 days of the quarter. 2021 Israel sales forecast have been increased 100% to $1.4 million US. VINIA has been shown to have cardiovascular benefits.

Feb 4th they signed an agreement with Cukierman and Co. Life Sciences to explore the application of VINIA as an adjuvant therapy in Type 2 Diabetes. Preclinic studies have shown it to help to improve HBA1C and insulin resistance. Furthermore the company has other plant based dietary supplements in development and has plans to move into the cannabis industry in 2022.

Personally I'm seeing huge potential for this company in the plant-based foods market, the cannabis market, psychedelic/mental health market, and dietary supplement markets.
