Financial Highlights:
The Company reported revenue of $30,488,939 million, which includes an increased revenue in AI and Technology of $4,578,717, an increase of 13% compared to the previous year of $4,051,805 in 2021, and EBITDA of ($13,459,916) and adjusted EBITDA of ($1,653,266).

The following financial information from the financial results for the year ending on December 31, 2022, and Management Discussion & Analysis (“MD&A“) are available for review on SEDAR.
Please refer to the Q4 2022 filing in its entirety, which is available under Datametrex’s profile at www.sedar.com.
As part of the Company’s growth strategy, management made a strategic decision to reinvest the profits from the acquisition of Imagine Health Centres. This acquisition and the Company exercising its share buyback program have contributed to a decrease in cash. The Company believes that the acquisition of Imagine Health Centres will enhance its position in the market and drive future growth and profits.
The Company notes that the recent loss reported in the Profit and Loss report is not a result of operations, but rather attributed to the expenses related to the acquisition, a decrease in the share price of the invested companies, and from non-cash expenses such as amortization, depreciation, and impairment of intangible assets.
Despite the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, which fueled significant profits for the Company, management remains committed to its long-term strategy of prioritizing its core AI technology and integrating it to its healthcare businesses to drive sustained growth and profitability. The Company remains committed to strengthening its position in these companies as well as mitigating any potential financial impact.

The Company received contracts worth approximately $1.2 million from its existing conglomerate clients for its advanced technology solutions, which is attributed to the management’s successful implementation of its land-and-expand strategy.

The Company also successfully secured its intellectual property by obtaining two (2) technology patents for its secure data encryption solutions.

This past year, Medi-Call launched its mobile telehealth application for iOS and Android devices and expanded to three provinces, providing its telehealth services in British Columbia and Alberta, while soft launching in Ontario.
The expansion has led to a substantial increase in new Medi-Call subscribers due to an influx of international foreign students using the platform’s telehealth services. The latest figures show that the Company’s innovative healthcare platform has now garnered a total of 389 subscribers, representing a 38% increase from last month’s report of 281 subscribers.
The Company announced 3 distribution agreements last November with international student agencies and has completed the first distribution agreement, which has led to a surge in Medi-Call subscribers.

In response to the high demand, DM EVS has extended the event to accommodate all participants, enabling them to experience the service first-hand.
The event has generated significant awareness and exposure for DM EVS among EV drivers in the Vancouver area, showcasing the Company’s commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for the EV industry.

To further AnalyticsGPT’s global reach, the management team will be attending several international AI expos this spring to showcase the software’s capabilities. AnalyticsGPT has garnered global interest and will be attending AI EXPO Korea in early May with B2B meetings lined up with leading companies in the cybersecurity, data analytics, marketing, and PR space for potential business development.

Datametrex Healthcare Division Spinoff
The Company is thrilled to announce that it is planning on spinning off its healthcare division, consisting of Medi-Call and Imagine Health Centres, as its own independent entity. This strategic move will create a powerful healthcare entity, consisting of a hybrid model of brick-and-mortar clinics and virtual services, with the goal of being able to offer an integrated healthcare solution under one roof.
The spinoff will result in a boost in the Company’s balance sheet post-endemic as it acquires shares of the new entity. Management plans to launch this development within the next 12 months, delivering enhanced value to stakeholders and customers alike.
Medi-Call Inc. (“Medi-Call“)
Medi-Call’s primary focus remains on British Columbia and servicing international students. The Company is set to expand the scope of its marketing activities and establish more partnerships with international language agencies.

Imagine Health Centres (“Imagine Health“)
Imagine Health is currently in the final stages of opening a third clinic in Vancouver, while management reviews the possibility of opening a fourth clinic in Ontario.
To further solidify its position as a leading provider of innovative healthcare solutions, the Company will be incorporating a Wellness Centre into its two (2) existing clinics which further expands services that offer physiotherapy, IV Vitamin Therapy treatment, acupuncture, and much more.

Fintech Pulse: Your Daily Industry Brief (Chime, ZBD, MiCA)
As we close out 2024, the fintech industry continues to deliver headlines that underscore its dynamism and innovation. From IPO aspirations to groundbreaking regulatory milestones, today’s updates highlight the transformative power of fintech partnerships, regulatory evolution, and disruptive technologies. Here’s what you need to know.
Chime’s Quiet Step Toward Public Markets
Chime, the U.S.-based financial technology startup best known for its digital banking services, has taken a significant step by filing confidential paperwork for an initial public offering (IPO). As one of the most valuable private fintechs in the U.S., Chime’s move could potentially signal a renewed appetite for fintech IPOs in a market that has been cautious following fluctuating valuations across the tech sector.
With a valuation that reportedly exceeded $25 billion in its last funding round, Chime’s IPO could set a new benchmark for the industry. Observers note that its strong customer base and revenue growth may make it an appealing choice for investors seeking to capitalize on the digital banking boom. However, the timing and success of the IPO will depend on broader market conditions and the regulatory landscape.

ZBD’s Pioneering Achievement: EU MiCA License Approval
ZBD, a fintech company specializing in Bitcoin Lightning network solutions, has made history by becoming the first to secure an EU MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) license. This landmark approval by the Dutch regulator positions ZBD at the forefront of compliant crypto-fintech operations in Europe.
MiCA, which aims to harmonize the regulatory framework for crypto-assets across the EU, has been a focal point for industry players aiming to establish legitimacy and expand their offerings. ZBD’s achievement not only validates its operational rigor but also sets a precedent for other fintech firms navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.
Industry insiders view this as a strategic advantage for ZBD as it broadens its footprint in Europe. By leveraging its regulatory approval, the company can accelerate its product deployment and establish trust with institutional and retail users alike.
