NXT covered in Wall Street Journal online

NXT Energy Solutions Inc.
TSX-V : SFD / OTCBB : NSFDF / Frankfurt : EFW
Basic Shares - 30.6 Million
Fully Diluted - 42.7 Million
----------------------------------------

A Wall Street article on NXT titled, When Alternative Energy Isn’t Quite Ready for Prime Time, was posted on Andy Jordon’s American Journey page in the Wall Street Journal’s blog section.

The blog discusses NXT’s non-invasive approach to exploring for untapped oil and gas reserves onshore and offshore. It also quotes Google CEO Eric Schmidt saying the new economy will not occur in large traditional industries. Rather, small companies that have new regulations allowing them to enter markets will lead the way. And he acknowledges NXT is a good example of the latter company leaders.

Asia Now's Habo Property Exceeds Expectations

Asia Now (TSX-V: NOW)
Basic Shares: 65.5 million
Fully Diluted: 68.3 million
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Drilling results released today confirm that Asia Now's Habo South property in the Yunan province has high grade values of gold, copper, silver and molybdenum. The company knows that a large mineralization system stretches 2.3 kilometres long by 1.3 kilometres wide on its Habo property and the recent assay results show grades consistently greater than 1% copper equivalent.


The area is considered a porphyry system and this means that high tonnage of blended mineralization is present close to the surface. The blended mineralization (porphyry) consists of high values of molybdenum, silver and copper which are defined and valued in a copper equivalent formula. When the mineralization is close to surface and abundant, grades of copper at just 0.25% can be profitable to extract.

This porphyry system is on the Tethyan magmatic belt which contains some of the worlds largest porphyry plays such as Sar Cheshmeh in Iran and Reko Diq in Pakistan.

The goal for Asia Now is to continue drilling into the high-grade zones to further define the potential resource and the value of the ore at Habo South.

AeroMechanical Hits A Home Run

AeroMechanical Services Ltd. (TSX:V-AMA)
Basic Shares: 82.5 million
Fully Diluted: 88 million
*******************************


AeroMechanical created a marketing plan that is turning airline executive heads around - despite the horrible economic conditions - Research Capital's aviation analyst wrote in an update report issued February 2oth.

Analyst Jacques Kavafian said AMA's new fuel management program met with an "overwhelming positive response," at a seminar AMA recently put on for a number of airlines. "AeroMechanical's new fuel management program, we believe, could be a home run because the cost saving opportunities to airlines are too great to be ignored, even (with) low fuel prices," Mr. Kavafian concluded.

Airlines are casting a nervous eye on their fuel bills, knowing what has recently dropped in price will eventually bounce back up.

"We have seen a demonstration of (AMA's fuel-saving) software and the conclusion we draw is that the product is convincing," Mr. Kavafian added.

Combining AMA's fuel management program with the technical ability of AMA's bluebox technology to record when an aircraft and its crew have both gone in and out of service gives airlines a savings potential of roughly $500,000 per year, per aircraft, Mr. Kavafian calculated.

Investors should also note that given AMA's existing backlog of business - excluding China - Mr. Kavafian predicted the Company could be cash flow positive by the third quarter, or Sept., 2009.

Mr. Kavafian wrote that AMA has a backlog of 125 orders for its bluebox technology, or AFIRS as it is formally called.

AMA currently has 150 of the blueboxes installed.

If the contract with China is fully realized, that could add another 500+ planes to the order book.

Mr. Kavafian was so enthusiastic about the fuel savings program, he wrote that AMA now has the tool it needs to break into the big markets that include the monster airlines like Air Canada. "Unless (Air Canada) has AFIRS installed, there is a lot of fuel (it) may be wasting without knowing it," Mr. Kavafian wrote.

The influential analyst predicted AMA share prices could hit $0.65, giving a projected return of 261% over the then market price of $0.18.

Asia Now - There Is Gold In Beiya

Asia Now (TSX-V: NOW)
Basic Shares: 65.5 million
Fully Diluted: 68.3 million
----------------------------------

Where is the best place to find gold? Next to a gold mine is a great place to start. Asia Now has been actively exploring its Beiya property in southwestern China which circles around Yunnan's largest producing open-pit gold mine. Assay results released today show strong gold and silver content throughout its latest drilling program.


The drill program took place over wide spaced intervals next to the existing Beiya Gold Mine.

The drill results and further drilling this year will help define this resource. The existing open pit mine is looking to expand and Asia Now has all of the surrounding land covering 586 square kilometers.

The existing open-pit mine has a 2 million ounce reserve and given that it is just meters from Asia Now's property, it will help shareholders get some idea of what Asia Now is sitting on.

Asia Now's strategy is to acquire a cash flow gold mining operation in 2009 in addition to continuing with its exploration drilling on its own Chinese property.

AMA Moves Ahead In China And With Old Customer

AeroMechanical Services Ltd. (TSX:V-AMA)
Basic Shares: 82.5 million
Fully Diluted: 88 million
*****************************************
One of China's major airlines gave two thumbs up on the performance of two AeroMechanical (AFIRs) blue boxes it installed, while another old customer outside China liked its blue boxes so much, it ordered two more.

The developments in China were detailed in a February 19th news release that was simultaneously issued out of the Chinese city of Shanghai and Calgary.

Shanghai Airlines (SAL) reported it installed and tested two AMA blue boxes in two Boeing 767 aircraft that are part of SAL's extensive fleet.

This now gives SAL the ability to talk to their pilots no matter where those pilots are flying - at any spot around the globe.

Mr. Xie Jin Yi, Director of the Operations Control Centre (OCC) representing the Shanghai OCC dispatchers said:

"This is a valuable improvement in our operational control and flight watch capabilities."

The installations come under the umbrella of a 2006 contract that calls on AMA to install its breakthrough technology on up to 515 Chinese aircraft.

If all the installations occur under the full contract terms, AMA's gross revenue would be roughly $35 million by the end of 2010 and $15 million per year thereafter for the remainder of the contract term.

In another development, China's Civil Aviation Authority completed its review of the Verified Supplemental Type Certificates. That review now clears the way for AMA's blue boxes to be installed on Chinese-registered, Boeing 757 aircraft.

Outside China, a current and unidentified AMA customer, ordered two more AMA blueboxes to be installed on two new aircraft it just purchased.

This customer flies for the United Nations in Africa and the total value of this extended contract to cover the additional aircraft could be in excess of $200 thousand.

The LMS Train is Still Chugging Along

LMS Medical Systems (LMZ - TSX)
Shares outstanding: 25.8m
Fully Diluted: 30.7 million
-----------------------------------




LMS released its Q3/F09 (Dec. 31) financial results today with the bright spot being the recurring revenue stream. It showed a 40% increase to $571 thousand compared to approximately $411 thousand over the same quarter of Fiscal 2008.

Revenues in the quarter were $651 thousand, down from $952 thousand for the same period in the last fiscal year. As such, 87% of the last quarter’s total is made up of recurring revenue.

Kudos should be given to the management team for decreasing operating expenses by 34% to $1.37 million from just over $2 million in Q3/F08. Clearly there’s still a substantial gap between expenses and the revenue stream but we wouldn’t be surprised to see operating expenses come down even further in the next quarter. This is a necessity. It’s no secret that the company is at a critical juncture.

Other events in the quarter include:

· An increase in its backlog to $4.6 million
· The TSX has extended its listing review till March 13, 2009
· The appointment of a new interim CEO, COO & CTO
· The current agreement with its distribution partner will not be extended beyond October 9th, 2009.
· LMS’ workforce has been reduced by 50%

The quarterly results aside, the market is anxiously waiting for LMS to announce a deal that would give it the capital it needs to move forward. The clock is ticking and we’re all hoping to hear something soon.

Anglo Swiss - A Good Time To Find Gold

Anglo Swiss Resources Inc.
(TSX-V: ASW) (OTCBB: ASWRF) (BERLIN: AMO)
Basic Shares 100.5 million
Fully Diluted 129.5 million
-------------------------------------------------------------

Although Anglo Swiss has not hit the proverbial jackpot yet with the drill bit, the Kenville property is surrounded with blue sky potential. The company completed the largest drill program in more than half a century at Kenville totaling 5,528 meters (18,127 feet) in 17 holes.


The company announced that out of the latest 17 holes it drilled, 12 had at least one significant gold interception. The high grade gold vein structures that were drilled into represent another potential gold and silver resource on the east side of Kenville.

The “win” here is that the new findings on the east side show a vein structure that extends far longer to the south than the company was aware. Anglo now plans to drill this vein structure from underground in the mine shaft where it can point the drill bit physically along the gold vein and hopefully get the long, high-valued intersections shareholders are hoping for in 2009.

Strong Start To F09 For International Water-Guard

International Water-Guard (TSX-V: IWG)
Basic Shares: 39.3 million
Fully Diluted: 46.5 million

***********************************
It was just a few weeks ago that IWG announced that at the end of the first quarter (Dec. 31) of Fiscal 2009, its order book already stood at $3 million representing three-quarters of its sales in F2008.


Today, the company released its Q1/F09 financial results that saw revenues jump 42% to $1.2 million from the $854 thousand in revenues for the corresponding quarter of F08. IWG reported net income of just over $60 thousand compared to a loss of approximately $80 thousand in Q1/F08.
Even though revenues were up $360 thousand, the cost of goods declined to $463 thousand from $496 thousand. Expenses however increased to $667 thousand from $480 thousand with R & D climbing $70 thousand to $209 thousand. This was expected a IWG has been developing new water technologies, which are bearing fruit with its customers as evidenced by the Q1 results.

IWG is in a good cash position with $947 thousand in its bank account at the end of the reporting period. It does not have the albatross of debt around its neck and is throwing off a growing cash flow stream.

Financial Post Features International Water-Guard

International Water-Guard (TSX-V: IWG)
Basic Shares: 39.3 million
Fully Diluted: 46.5 million
***********************************

International Water-Guard grabbed the better part of a full page in the Financial Post today (Feb, 2/09) under a large picture of a beaming David Fox (President) accompanied with the headline "Water filtration supplier flies high".

It's the right time and place for IWG as aircraft water safety is an issue that is garnering more and more attention in light of studies by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) that suggest you should think twice about what you're drinking at 30 thousand feet.

While IWG is currently focused on the business jet market and counts companies such as Gulfstream, Dassault, Bombardier etc. as long-time clients, the big target and blue sky potential sits with the commercial airline market. That being said, IWG's order book is already through $3 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2009, which is three-quarters of total sales in F2008.
