 Hi, I'm Chris Thompson from Investor Intel and today we're with Hubert Lao, the president and CEO of Trustbex. How are you doing today? Fantastic, Chris. Thank you for having me on your show. Can you just give a quick overview of the company for investors who may not know much about it? Absolutely. So Trustbex is traded on the TSX Venture as TBIX as well as on the OTCQB as TBIX FF4. And what we are is a technology company with a blockchain infrastructure that we use to validate information and brand claims for companies such as McDonald's, Loblaws, and so forth. And our vision is to create a world that we would trust more, waste less, and reward sustainable behavior. And when you're working with McDonald's, what exactly are you tracking for them? For them, we're tracking something called certified sustainable beef. So in their supply chain, they want to know right from the farm of origin until it becomes a burger patty that the production practices is based on the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef Indicators. So we not only track all of that for companies like McDonald's, but we also take incentive funds from the retailers such as McDonald's and distributed to the farms and feedlots across Canada for the extra work they do. So you're both a tracking mechanism as well as a payment system. Yes. That's great. Now, I noticed that your ends coming up and looking at your growth, your last 12 months growth, I noticed you were up about 40 percent. What can you tell us about how your year's done and you have a year end coming up? Is that correct? Yes, we anticipate we'll be releasing our year end financials next week. So please stay in tune with that. But if you look at our Q3 year to date, you can see that we are up. Like you're saying, I can't comment on how much we're up or not at the end. But I would say that barring any monumental mistakes that we made, I think we're all happy. That's good. When you're talking about your products, I did a little review of your latest news releases and you had a number of announcements on your VIX platform, which is your business information or sorry, info exchange system. So can you give us a little bit overview of the product enhancements you've done recently? Absolutely. What we have we have done recently is to ensure that we no longer just track beef. We're able to track pretty much all food products. And with the enhancement announcement is that not only are we just about food, if we wanted to, we can expand into other industries, other sectors as well, based on our platform. And it really positions us to not only do traceability and tracking of information on an operational level, but also on a supply chain and value chain level. So when you think about what our retailers and wholesalers need to claim or put onto their balance sheets nowadays, we're moving towards allowing them to be able to have validated or verified information for them to make the claims that they want. And I saw one that sort of piqued my interest. It was biomass. Yes. So what exactly is the biomass that you're tracking? That fascinated me. Well, the biomass, it was a fascinating thing and a great learning experience for us, too, because if we're talking about reduced waste as part of our mission, is that if we can take biomass waste and convert it into bio industrial products, so you're reusing waste in different manners, it is fantastic. But one of the things that the biomass industry has ran into is how do they know that the products really came through what is claimed? And so the BQNC, which is the biomass quality network of Canada with over 500 members in it, actually approached us and say, we love what you're doing and that it allows us to make the claims that we want to. Could you be more involved with us and help all of our members with their business models and leverage your platform, the BICS platform for the type of claims they want to make to show that not only the reduction of waste, but also the reusing into industrial products. Well, that's great. And your latest news was a round of financing, maybe up to a million dollars. How is that going? And what are you going to use the funds for? Well, the reason for the financing is that we're looking into 2022 and onwards. And one of the things that we're seeing is that there is a lot of orphaned technology companies who are looking to grow, but they just don't have the right solution to grow within. And so we could potentially pick these up as acquisition opportunities for us. So the million dollars that we want to raise is to start positioning ourselves into that. And we're doing it at 16 cents, no warrants. And we've just announced it and we're already got $700,000 committed. So we're down to our last 300. Great. And so what are you going to target it for? Is it acquisitions or also the product development? You know what, it's going to be a whole mixture of them, you know, as well as working capital, of course, because, you know, we're always looking at how to grow and how to be more efficient. And so our development is non-stop. That's part of our R&D. And, you know, year to date, our R&D has gone up 100% than previous years. So really focus on R&D acquisition and then also making sure that our companies run efficiently. Now, looking at this space, you're operating in things like trust, you know, reducing waste, sustainability. What sort of market size are you looking at either in Canada or the US right now? Well, I would say it is well into the billions because if you look at the investment market right now, ESG, the environmental social governance side of the equation, everyone's talking about it. So the question is, how do you quantify claims on ESG from an operational level all the way through a supply chain level? And we are positioned extremely well to do that moving forward. And that's part of our 2022 strategy. Well, great. I appreciate your time today. And I look forward to following the company over the next year as you raise funds and allocate those funds to production. Thanks for your time. Thank you, Chris. Thank you, Chris. Happy holidays, everyone.
