All-in-all DM has
A LOT on its plate but going in the right direction. Financials are improving. Contracts are piling up, partnerships and M&A opportunities are being explored. Should expect to see improved PR in coming months.
Meeting Notes (Main points) Joined 1337 hrs…tech glitch
Marshall's introductory points:
1. AI (missed initial part)
Nato: more to follow but progressing nicely. A lot of news shortly
2. COVID
- Working in several verticals. Most active is tv and film industry.
- Large ongoing 20 M$ contract (I speculate Disney, Netflix).. Largest contract ever signed by company. This particular contract really validated DM so this opened the door to many other companies. The interest unfolds throughout Q4. Are in discussion with several other similarly large companies. Coming in rapidly.
- Other verticals. South AMerica, oversees etc are continuing more slowly. And expect to continue for at least another year.
- Beyond these, expanded sales oversees (Middle East, Africa, Europe,. Hoping to release PR shortly.
3. PR.
On NR delays issue. Trying to get info out asap within TSX regulations, before these are issued. Although these cause delays, it works in everyone’s favour at the end of the day. Because it confirms everything is legit.
4. OTC listing.
In final approval stage. Providing additional review feedback. Passed review and in final stages for OTC. So positive since will open up access to US markets/investors.
Ended 1344.
5. Main Q&A (not comprehensive or if addressed above)
- AI. On issue of shareprice and PR. 1) Growing as AI company. Continuing to build business in a) public sector - govt: Nexalogy SMART. Private sector: And and expand in Korea. Bringin model to Canada/.US, where will expand. 2) PR. Actively working on PR and should hear more in next couple of months.

- Q. Despite record Q3 cash flow was negative. A. Operations streamlined quite a bit over past months (i.e. building ops in Vancouver and Toronto) to ramp up COVID film industry. Reasons for negative cashflow. Lost money in Q1 and Q2. Then needed to procure equipments (capital expenditure) and 3. Company paid out accounts payable. Reasons for negative cash flow. Since capital expenditure money already spend, next Quarter should be much stronger. Dec 31 ‘19 and 800,000$ receivable. only had 120,000$ cash but +1M$ 31 Sept $2M receivables.. So cash position much better.
