    Can the IRS Take Your House? Clear Start Tax Explains How to Stop a Tax Lien or Levy

    Clear Start Tax Helps Taxpayers Protect Their Homes and Assets From IRS Collections

    IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 16, 2025 / For Americans struggling with back taxes, one of the most terrifying questions they face is: Can the IRS take my house? According to Clear Start Tax, a nationally recognized tax resolution firm, the answer is yes – but it’s far from inevitable. With the right steps, taxpayers can often stop tax liens, prevent levies, and protect their most valuable assets.

    Understanding the Difference Between a Tax Lien and a Levy

    Clear Start Tax explains that while many people use the terms interchangeably, a tax lien and atax levy are two very different stages of IRS enforcement. Knowing the difference is essential for understanding the risk – and the options to respond.

    • Tax lien: A legal claim against a taxpayer’s property (including real estate, vehicles, or financial assets) when taxes go unpaid. It doesn’t seize the property but makes it difficult to sell, refinance, or borrow against it.

    • Tax levy: A direct seizure of property or funds, such as garnishing wages, draining bank accounts, or, in rare cases, seizing and selling real estate.

    “Taxpayers are often shocked to learn how much power the IRS has once a lien or levy is in place,” said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. “But with the right action plan, it’s possible to stop these actions before they start – or even reverse them once underway.”

    Common Triggers That Put Homeowners at Risk With the IRS

    Before the IRS places a lien or levy, there’s usually a pattern of missed payments, communication gaps, or ignored warnings. Clear Start Tax outlines some of the most common triggers that increase a homeowner’s risk:

    • Years of unfiled returns or unpaid tax balances

    • Ignoring multiple IRS notices and deadlines

    • Defaulting on existing IRS payment plans

    • Failing to communicate financial hardship to the IRS

    The risk escalates when taxpayers overlook these early warning signs, allowing routine collection efforts to advance into serious enforcement actions.

    How to Stop a Tax Lien or Levy

    The good news: IRS collection action can often be stopped or reversed – but only when taxpayers act quickly. Clear Start Tax highlights several legal tools that can help protect assets and halt enforcement when used properly:

    • Entering an Installment Agreement to pay off the balance over time

    • Requesting Currently Not Collectible (CNC) status for those in financial hardship

    • Filing an Offer in Compromise (OIC) to settle tax debt for less

    • Requesting a lien withdrawal or levy release based on hardship or compliance

    By acting early, taxpayers can preserve more options and significantly reduce the financial and emotional toll of IRS enforcement.

    The Clear Start Tax Approach: Protecting What Matters Most

    Clear Start Tax doesn’t just focus on numbers – it focuses on people. The firm takes a comprehensive, client-centered approach to every case, offering practical solutions that safeguard homes, income, and long-term stability.

    • Complete financial review to identify risks and options

    • Custom resolution strategy to address the lien or levy threat

    • Direct IRS negotiation to secure payment plans, releases, or settlements

    • Ongoing compliance support to prevent future enforcement

    By combining deep expertise with personal advocacy, Clear Start Tax helps clients resolve today’s challenges and avoid tomorrow’s risks.

    “Our mission is to help taxpayers protect what they’ve worked so hard for,” added the Head of Client Solutions. “We don’t just focus on the numbers – we help people safeguard their homes, their income, and their peace of mind.”

  • NanoViricides, Inc. Has Filed its Quarterly Report:  Broad-Spectrum Antiviral NV-387 To Combat MPox Pandemic in Africa –  Phase II Clinical Trial Update, Also Readying to Combat Measles Outbreaks, and to Tackle Bird Flu

    NanoViricides, Inc. Has Filed its Quarterly Report: Broad-Spectrum Antiviral NV-387 To Combat MPox Pandemic in Africa – Phase II Clinical Trial Update, Also Readying to Combat Measles Outbreaks, and to Tackle Bird Flu

    SHELTON, CT / ACCESS Newswire / May 16, 2025 / NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE Amer.:NNVC) (the “Company”), reports that it has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Thursday, May 15, 2025. The report can be accessed at the SEC website (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1379006/000141057825001336/nnvc-20250331x10q.htm) .

    NV-387 – Phase II Clinical Trial to Treat MPox Infection – Unmet Medical Need

    We reported that we submitted requisite due diligence information to the National Ethics Committee of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) including a draft report from the Phase I clinical trial for the safety and tolerability of oral formulations of NV-387, the summary information from our studies for treatment of lethal MPox infections in animal models, as well as summary information on the manufacturing.

    The National Ethics Committee found that the provided information was sufficient to justify a Phase II clinical trial, and has cleared us to file a Phase II Clinical Trial Application for the Use of Oral NV-387 for the Treatment of MPox Disease Caused by the hMPXV virus, subsequent to the reporting period.

    We also reported that we have commissioned manufacture of clinical trial quantities of NV-387 drug substance and the corresponding NV-387 oral gummies formulations drug products at our own cGMP compliant facility in Shelton, CT.

    We are now preparing the Phase II Clinical Trial Application for NV-387 to combat MPOX for submission to the DRC regulatory agency.

    There is no drug available for the treatment of MPox disease. The MPox Clade 1a/1b viruses have a substantially greater fatality rate than COVID, at 3-4%, and Clade 1b has been disproportionately affecting pediatric populations.

    The MPox Disease which is caused by hMPXV Clade 1a/1b virus infection was initially declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by the WHO in August 2024, a designation that has been continued to stay in effect in April 2025, due to the severity of the pandemic in WHO African Region.

    Spillover cases of MPox Clade 1a/1b have occurred in several Eastern and Western countries already, raising the probability that the epidemic may spread more widely, although the current MPox virus is not as communicable as Coronaviruses or Measles virus.

    MPox Clade 2 spilled over from Africa into the Western World in a small pandemic during 2022, and has become endemic with several cases occurring every year in many countries, driven primarily by sexual contact. MPox Clade 2 causes much less severe disease than the Clade 1a and 1b viruses.

    MPox/Smallpox drug represents a billion dollar market globally, should an effective drug be developed, because of potential biosecurity implications.

    NV-387 as Treatment for Measles Virus Infection – Unmet Medical Need

    Upon finding significant rationale that NV-387 would be potentially highly effective against the Measles virus, we have initiated a program to evaluate NV-387 in a humanized animal model of Measles lethal infection.

    The Measles outbreaks in the USA have continued to grow since January, 2025, and have crossed 1,000 confirmed cases as well as 3 deaths. Measles cases have been increasing year over year in the USA, especially after the COVID pandemic substantially resolved with the SARS-CoV-2 becoming an endemic virus. In Europe, over 35,000 cases of Measles have been reported in 2024 according to the European CDC.

    A 95% vaccination coverage is required to eliminate Measles virus. This has become a practically impossible goal because of several factors, among them: (i) Vaccine Hesitancy as a rebound public response because of compulsion of COVID vaccine shots multiple times; (ii) Religious Vaccine Prohibitions in certain communities, including certain Jewish religious communities, Mennonites, and other conservative religious communities; (iii) Increasing immune function disability in the general population due to chronic diseases such as Diabetes, Obesity, Cardiac Issues, Autoimmune Diseases, Allergies, etc. wherein the person upon vaccination would not develop strong enough immunity and would become a carrier if infected; (iv) Vaccine Failure caused primarily by a variety of immune function disabilities.

    The Measles vaccination rates across the world, and particularly in European countries and the USA have dipped well below 95% on average, and much lower in specific areas, and vaccine breakout cases i.e. Measles disease in vaccinated persons, have also increased substantially, as seen from the ECDC statistics [1] , [2] .

    It is therefore essential to develop a drug to treat Measles in order to combat these outbreaks and achieve full control over the public health situation. There is no drug available for treatment of Measles.

    We strongly expect that NV-387 would be effective against Measles. This is because NV-387 cured lethal RSV infection in an animal model. RSV and Measles both are paramyxoviruses, and both use HSPG as the Attachment Receptor, and then transfer to their respective Cognate Receptor that is needed for cell fusion. NV-387 was designed to present to the virus like a cell that displays HSPG-mimetic small chemical ligands on its surface, thereby providing the attachment-receptor-mimetic landing sites for the virus, capturing, engulfing, and destroying it. (HSPG = Heparan Sulfated Proteoglycans).

    NV-387 as Treatment for Bird Flu, H5N1, H7N9 – Unmet Medical Need

    We have previously found that NV-387 was substantially more effective than the existing stockpiled influenza virus treatments including Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and Xofluza (baloxavir) in lethal animal models of Influenza virus lung infection.

    Given the extremely broad antiviral activity spectrum of NV-387, and knowing that the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) viruses such as H5N1 and H7N9 have polybasic sequences in their H-protein that bind to HSPG, we believe NV-387 would be effective against Bird Flu viruses.

    Influenza viruses mutate rapidly, and also exchange their full genomic RNA segments with other co-infecting viruses (“Re-assortment”), or copy portions of a different genomic sequence into their own RNA (“Re-combination”). Thereby an Influenza virus can acquire new traits such as (i) rapid communicability from person-to-person, and (ii) readily escaping vaccines, antibodies, and the small chemical drugs such as oseltamivir and baloxavir.

    NV-387, we believe, fulfills the unmet medical need for a pan-Influenza drug that the Influenza virus would not be able to escape, because the virus does not lose its ability bind to HSPG as Attachment Receptor and then to Sialic Acid Receptors leading to cell fusion and infection.

    A severe version of H5N1 is widely circulating in the wild birds, and has caused sporadic losses of entire poultry farm houses. This, and a mild version of H5N1 have infected thousands of dairy herds in the USA. The H5N1 virus is only a few mutations away from becoming highly communicable from person to person, and if that comes to bear, we would be facing a pandemic possibly worse than COVID-19.

    It is well established now that vaccines, antibodies, and small chemical drugs do not provide the ability to stall an outbreak let alone a pandemic caused by a highly variable virus such as a Coronavirus or an Influenza virus.

    We believe NV-387 will be ready to fight any human outbreaks of H5N1 under emergency use protocols for investigational drugs.

    Company Financials

    We reported that, as of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalent current assets balance of approximately $2.73 Million. In addition, we reported approximately $6.98 Million in Net Property and Equipment (P&E) assets (after depreciation). The strong P&E assets comprise our cGMP-capable manufacturing and R&D facility in Shelton, CT. The total current liabilities were approximately $1.20 Million.

    The net cash utilized during the nine months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately $6.78 million. This included certain non-recurring expenditures including R&D expenditures in preparation for a Phase II clinical trial application. We raised approximately $4.57 million net of commission and certain expenses in an At-the-Market offering (“ATM”) during the nine months ended March 31, 2025.

    We have approximately $5.7 million (approximately $4.5 million net of current liabilities) available for cash operational expenses going forward including an available line of credit of $3 million provided by our founder and President Dr. Anil Diwan. As such, we reported that we do not have sufficient funding in hand to continue operations through February 14, 2026, for our planned objectives that include (i) a Phase II clinical trial of NV-387 for MPOX in Central Africa, (ii) a Phase II clinical trial of NV-387 for Viral Acute and Severe Acute Respiratory Infections (V-ARI and V-SARI), and (iii) Preparation and pre-IND filing for a Phase II clinical trial of NV-387 for RSV indication in the USA. We have access to the aforementioned ATM Equity Offering, and we believe we will have access to the equity markets to raise the funds necessary for our current objectives. We continue to re-prioritize our programs in line with available resources.

    NV-387 – Phase I Clinical Trial Completed Successfully with No Reported Adverse Events

    NV-387 has successfully completed a Phase Ia/Ib clinical trial in healthy subjects with all subjects discharged as of end of December, 2023. There were no adverse events reported. We are now awaiting a final report of this Phase I clinical trial.

    NV-387 A Potentially Revolutionary Antiviral Drug that the Viruses are Unlikely to Escape

    Our host-mimetic, direct-acting, broad-spectrum, antiviral agent. NV-387 was found to have activity that surpassed the activity of known agents in lethal virus infection animal model trials for COVID, RSV, Influenza, and Mpox/Smallpox.

    In fact, we found that NV-387 treatment possibly completely cured the lethal RSV infection in mice, based on indefinite survival of the animals with no lung pathology. There is currently no treatment for RSV infection. In particular, pediatric RSV infection treatment is an unmet medical need that we believe is of critical importance. Pediatric RSV treatment itself is expected to be a multi-billion-dollar market in the USA alone.

    NV-387 treatment was found to be substantially superior to three approved anti-influenza drugs, namely, oseltamivir (Tamiflu®, Roche), peramivir (Rapivab®, Biocryst), and baloxavir (Xofluza®, Shionogi/Roche).

    Additionally, NV-387 also demonstrated activity against lethal poxvirus infection animal models that was on par with or superior to the approved drug tecovirimat (TPOXX®, SIGA).

    NV-387 acts by a mechanism that is significantly different compared to the tested existing antiviral agents for COVID, Influenza and Poxviruses.

    This demonstrated broad-spectrum activity of NV-387 against widely varying viruses is because NV-387 is designed to attack the virus particle by mimicking sulfated proteoglycan (S-PG) feature, and all of these viruses are known to utilize heparan sulfate proteoglycans for gaining cell entry.

    Further, for all of these tested viruses, even as the virus genome changes in the field, NV-387 is expected to continue to be effective, and the virus would be highly unlikely to escape NV-387. This is because despite all of the genomic changes, the virus continues to use HSPG, as is well known. Thus NV-387 solves the greatest problem in antiviral countermeasures; the problem of virus escape. Viruses are known to escape all of the current antiviral tools that include vaccines, antibodies, and small chemical drugs.

    Thus we anticipate that NV-387 would revolutionize the treatment of viral infections reminiscent of how penicillin revolutionized the treatment of bacterial infections.

    NV-387 Regulatory Strategy

    In the ensuing year, we plan on advancing NV-387 into Phase II clinical trials. In addition to the Phase II clinical trial to assess effectiveness of NV-387 in treating MPox infections, we are also planning to advance NV-387 into a Phase II clinical trial for treatment of Viral Acute Respiratory Infections (V-ARI), and Viral Severe Acute Respiratory Infections (V-SARI). This clinical trial is expected to provide information on NV-387 effectiveness in treating Influenza viruses, Coronaviruses (including SARS-CoV-2/COVID) as well as RSV.

    Thereafter we are planning a regulatory program for advancing NV-387 as the treatment of pediatric RSV infection.

    We plan on advancing the regulatory processes for NV-387 registration for other indications including Influenza and COVID via partnerships and non-dilutive funding.

    As we meet the milestones, we believe we will be able to raise financing for further regulatory activities for NV-387 registration via non-dilutive grant funding, partnership revenues, as well as equity-based funding.

      • Affiliate Revenues increased 12.5% year-over-year to $7.4 million driven by new contractual relationships as well as rate increases that went into effect in 2025.

      • Subscription Revenues increased 10.2% year-over-year to $7.0 million driven by an increase in Newsmax + subscribers.

      • Product Sales Revenues increased 9.1% year-over-year to $1.6 million driven by the new book releases of its Humanix subsidiary, including titles “Pay Zero Taxes”, “Turnaround” and “Plan Red”, offset slightly by lower nutraceutical sales.

    • Newsmax reported a quarterly Net Loss of $(17.2) million as compared to a Net Loss of $(50.7) million reported in the prior year quarter. While operating expenses increased this quarter, including regulatory, compliance and reporting costs associated with public company requirements, there were significant legal and settlement expenses in the prior year quarter related to the Smartmatic legal settlement.

    • Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA was $(1.2) million, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 136.5%, from the amount reported in the prior year quarter, primarily due to an increase in cost of revenues and general and administrative costs associated with the continued expansion of the business, costs associated with becoming a public company and costs associated with coverage of the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump on January 20, 2025.

    • The Company ended the quarter with $126.7 million in Cash and Cash Equivalents, an increase of 426.8% from $24.1 million in December 31, 2024.

    “We are pleased to report strong quarterly results, highlighted by increased viewer engagement across both linear and digital platforms, growth in advertising partnerships and the successful launch of new programming,” commented Darryle Burnham, Chief Financial Officer.With enhanced access to capital from our pre-IPO and IPO raises, we are well-positioned to sustain our momentum. As we execute on our financial and strategic priorities, we remain focused on delivering long-term value to our shareholders.”

    1 The Company compensates for limitations of the adjusted EBITDA measure by prominently disclosing GAAP net income (loss), which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and providing investors with a reconciliation from GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA on page 12.

    USE AND DEFINITION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

    This press release contains a financial measure that has not been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). This financial measure is Adjusted EBITDA.

    Non-GAAP financial measures are used to supplement the financial information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the relevant U.S. GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with information presented on a U.S. GAAP basis. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

    Adjusted EBITDA1 is defined as revenues less cost of revenues and general and administrative expenses and does not include depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, impairment charges, unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities, other corporate matters (consisting primarily of certain litigation expenses, and related fees, for specific legal proceedings that the Company has determined are infrequent and unusual in terms of their magnitude), other, net, and income tax expense.

    GameSquare Holdings Reports 2025 First Quarter Results

    First quarter 2025 gross margin, excluding FaZe Media of 22.8%

    Significant year-over-year improvement in first quarter 2025 adjusted EBITDA

    Completed remaining divestiture of FaZe Media on April 1, 2025, which is expected to expand gross margin and eliminate approximately $2.5 million in quarterly cash burn going forward

    Improved first quarter profitability in line with expectations and supports GameSquare’s strategic focus on achieving positive cash flow and adjusted EBITDA in 2025

    FRISCO, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:GAME), (“GameSquare”, or the “Company”), today announced financial results for the three-months ended March 31, 2025.

    Justin Kenna, CEO of GameSquare, stated, “Our first quarter financial results were in line with expectations and reflect both the final quarter of FaZe Media’s impact on profitability and typical seasonal trends within our agency and programmatic advertising businesses. With the April 1, 2025 divestiture of our remaining 25.5% stake in FaZe Media, we eliminated $10 million in convertible debt from our balance sheet and anticipate an improvement in gross margin and reduction of over $2 million in quarterly operating expenses beginning in the second quarter of 2025. We continue to own 100% of FaZe Clan Esports, which contributed to revenue and was accretive to gross margin in the first quarter of 2025. As one of the top global esports teams, we are excited to capitalize on FaZe Clan Esports success and leverage the brand to drive profitable revenue opportunities.”

    “Our SaaS business segment is well positioned for strong growth in 2025, driven by an expanded managed services offering and the integrated capabilities of the broader GameSquare platform. We are also seeing strong momentum in our creative agency business, particularly from successful world-building campaigns and in-person activations,” Mr. Kenna continued.

    “As we continue to optimize our operating structure, achieving profitability remains a core objective of our 2025 strategy. In the first quarter, we significantly improved proforma, adjusted EBITDA from the same period a year ago reflecting a significant reduction in operating expenses. We expect to benefit from higher gross margin and additional cost-saving measures throughout the year. Based on the progress made in the first quarter, we believe we are on track to organically grow sales, and improve profitability in 2025 and beyond,” concluded Mr. Kenna.

    Management’s use of Non-GAAP Measures

    This release contains certain financial performance measures, including “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA,” that are not recognized under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. As a result, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. For a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial information presented in the Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP, see the section entitled “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” below.

    We believe EBITDA is a useful measure to assess the performance of the Company as it provides more meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of our underlying business performance and other one-time or non-recurring expenses. We define “EBITDA” as net income (loss) before (i) depreciation and amortization; (ii) income taxes; and (iii) interest expense.

    Adjusted EBITDA

    We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to assess the performance of the Company as it provides more meaningful operating results by excluding the effects of expenses that are not reflective of our underlying business performance and other one-time or non-recurring expenses. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA adjusted to exclude extraordinary items, non-recurring items and other non-cash items, including, but not limited to (i) share based compensation expense, (ii) transaction costs related to merger and acquisition activities, (iii) arbitration settlement reserves and other non-recurring legal settlement expenses, (iv) restructuring costs, primarily comprised of employee severance resulting from integration of acquired businesses, (v) impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, (vi) gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, (vii) change in fair value of assets and liabilities adjusted to fair value on a quarterly basis, (viii) gains and losses from discontinued operations, and (ix) net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest.

    Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

    A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable measure determined under US GAAP is set out below. (Unaudited)

    Applied DNA Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Results

    – Therapeutic DNA Production Services Segment (LineaRx) Revenues Up 44% Y/Y, Contributing to a 6% Increase in Total Revenues –

    – Intra-Quarter Investor Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled for 
    June 3, 2025, at 4:30 PM ET –

    STONY BROOK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:APDN) (“Applied DNA” or the “Company”), a leader in PCR-based DNA technologies, today reported financial results for its second quarter of fiscal 2025 ended March 31, 2025.

    The Company’s Form 10-Q for its fiscal second quarter can be viewed on the SEC Filings page of its Investor Relations website. To align with the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 22 and ensure a comprehensive post-meeting update, the quarterly investor call will be held on June 3, on which management will update investors on the Company’s strategic priorities.

    Management Commentary

    “Amidst a challenging macro environment with regulatory headwinds and volatile equity markets, we concluded a strategic reset and have emerged more focused, leaner, and positioned to meet biopharma’s emergent demand for enzymatic DNA with our LineaRx subsidiary positioned as what we believe to be North America’s largest, PCR-based producer of cell-free DNA,” stated Dr. James A. Hayward, chairman and CEO of Applied DNA. “Our strategic priority going forward is to elevate the execution of LineaRx and Applied DNA Clinical Labs in a way that drives consistent and recurring revenues to support higher gross margins and build shareholder value.

    “Looking ahead, we believe industry tailwinds are accelerating,” Dr. Hayward concluded. “The biopharma industry is announcing substantial, planned investments in U.S. manufacturing; AI drug design is shortening genetic medicine development timelines, but persistent manufacturing bottlenecks tied to plasmid DNA’s technical constraints remain; and limitations regarding the scalability, efficiency, and cost constraints of competing enzymatic DNA technologies we believe offer market opportunities. With initial capital investments for our now operational Site 1 GMP facility complete, we believe our rapid DNA production and domestic sourcing capabilities are key differentiators to drive new customer acquisition.”

    Recent Corporate and Operational Updates

    Corporate:

    • With the completion of its strategic restructuring, the Company expects quarterly cash burn to begin to decline beginning in the quarter ending June 30, 2025.

    LineaRx (Therapeutic DNA Production and Services subsidiary):

    • Validated GMP Site 1 manufacturing operations in January with production capabilities sufficient to support anticipated near-term manufacturing needs. Site 1 can support an annual revenue capacity between $10 million and $30 million, contingent on product mix and pricing.

    • New customers added:

      • A quantity of Research Use Only (RUO)-grade LineaDNA™ IVT templates and associated LineaRNAP™ for a U.S.-based mRNA contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO).

      • RUO-grade quantities of LineaDNA for in vitro studies to support four animal health vaccine candidates, with one LineaDNA construct proceeding to an in vivo study.

    • Received follow-on orders from existing customers, notably:

      • A quantity of RUO-grade LineaDNA IVT templates to an APAC-based CDMO of mRNA vaccines and therapeutics.

      • A quantity of LineaDNA to a U.S.-based CRISPR and mRNA therapeutics developer.

      • Continued large-scale manufacturing and delivery of LineaDNA under supply agreements with global manufacturers of in vitro diagnostics (IVDs).

    • Engagement with a U.S.-based therapeutics developer on a challenging self-amplifying mRNA therapy did not result in a first GMP order, though our dialogue remains active for subsequent projects.

    • Nearing completion of a proprietary enzyme and buffer system designed to enhance LinearDNA’s performance by boosting yields, lowering costs, and enabling production of longer, more complex DNA sequences, such as sa-mRNA. Large-scale manufacturing of the enzyme and buffer by a U.S.-based CDMO is expected to begin in June 2025.

    • Expected to launch in Q4’25, LineaPCR™ is an offering to enable customers to self-manufacture LineaDNA with an easy, end-to-end process to simplify existing multi-week, multi-vendor, PCR-based drug discovery workflows.

    • Launching LineaDNA IVT Evaluation Kits – three 25μg templates and associated LineaRNAP aimed at driving adoption of the LineaIVT platform by showcasing its advantages over plasmid-based systems and accelerating customer engagement in mRNA manufacturing. Kits will be offered at industry conferences and on LineaRxDNA.com.

    Applied DNA Clinical Labs (MDx Testing Services subsidiary):

    • Submitted a validation package to the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) for a PCR-based H5N1 diagnostic as a laboratory-developed test for the detection and subtyping of H5 bird flu, which is currently under review by NYSDOH.

    • Introduced TR8™ PGx pharmacogenomic sub-panels for indication-specific use, complementing full-panel testing. The sub-panels are designed to lower adoption barriers for institutions, clinicians, and patients. The first sub-panel launched is TR8 PGx for Pre-emptive Oncology Care relating to fluoropyrimidine-based cancer therapeutics.

    Second Quarter Fiscal 2025 Financial Highlights

    • Total revenues: $983 thousand, compared to $930 thousand for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Segment information is detailed in the ‘Note H – Segment Information’ section of the Form 10-Q for the period reported:

      • Therapeutic DNA Production (LineaRx) segment revenues increased 44% compared to the same period of fiscal 2024. The increase in segment revenues was driven by a large shipment to a large-scale DNA manufacturing customer, as well as the timing of shipments for a second large-scale DNA manufacturing customer.

      • MDx Testing Services (Applied DNA Clinical Labs) segment revenues decreased 33% compared to the same period of fiscal 2024 due to a decrease from COVID-19 surveillance testing.

    • Operating loss: $3.5 million, compared to an operating loss of $3.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

    • Net loss: $3.3 million, compared to a net loss of $4.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The improvement in net loss primarily reflects a loss on the issuance of warrants in the prior period that was not repeated in the reported quarter.

    • Adjusted EBITDA: Negative $3.3 million, compared to negative $3.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

    • Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025: $6.8 million, which includes $1.0 million of proceeds from the exercise of Series A warrants.

    Information about Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    As used herein, “GAAP” refers to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this earnings release includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in Rule 101 of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. We use this non-GAAP financial measure for internal financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of the performance and results of operations of our core businesses. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the performance of our businesses by excluding non-cash expenses that may not be indicative of our recurring operating results. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors as they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

    About the LineaDNA™ and Linea IVT™ Platforms

    The Linea DNA platform is an entirely cell-free DNA production platform founded on Applied DNA’s long-standing expertise in the large-scale enzymatic production of DNA. Capable of producing DNA in quantities ranging from milligrams to grams, the Linea DNA platform can produce high-fidelity DNA constructs ranging from 100bp to 20kb in size. The DNA produced via the Linea DNA platform is free of the adventitious DNA sequences found in other sources of DNA, is rapidly scalable, and provides for simple chemical modification of DNA constructs. The Linea IVT platform combines DNA IVT templates manufacturing via the Linea DNA platform with a proprietary Linea™ RNAP to enable mRNA and sa-mRNA manufacturers to produce what Applied DNA believes to be better mRNA faster, with advantages over conventional mRNA production, including: 1) the elimination of plasmid DNA as a starting material; 2) the prevention or reduction of double-stranded DNA (dsRNA) contamination; and 3) simplified mRNA production workflows.

    About Applied DNA Sciences

    Applied DNA Sciences is a biotechnology company developing technologies to produce and detect deoxyribonucleic acid (“DNA”). Using the polymerase chain reaction (“PCR”) to enable both the production and detection of DNA, we operate in two business markets: (i) the enzymatic manufacture of synthetic DNA for use in the production of nucleic acid-based therapeutics and the development and sale of a proprietary RNA polymerase (“RNAP”) for use in the production of mRNA therapeutics; and (ii) the detection of DNA and RNA in molecular diagnostics and genetic testing services.

  • TruMerit Hails Release of WHO’s State of the World’s Nursing Report

    TruMerit Hails Release of WHO’s State of the World’s Nursing Report

    PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / TruMerit™ (formerly CGFNS International) welcomed the release this week of the World Health Organization’s State of the World’s Nursing Report, which provides the first comprehensive assessment of global nursing since the COVID-19 pandemic.

    TruMerit
    TruMerit

    The report highlights a critical imperative to strengthen global nursing capacity in the wake of the pandemic and amid economic uncertainty, climate change impacts, and persistent health inequities. It warns that the global health workforce shortage will continue to widen, reaching 11 million by 2030, thereby requiring a fundamental shift in how countries approach healthcare workforce planning and investment.

    While emphasizing the urgent need to address this challenge, TruMerit President and CEO Dr. Peter Preziosi, who served on the WHO steering committee that helped guide the report’s preparation, pointed to opportunities to leverage the power of nursing to resolve inequities and shore up healthcare delivery and quality around the world.

    “In response to this report, non-governmental organizations in the healthcare sector must adopt collaboration as their watchword and work with each other and with professional societies and patient-centered organizations in pursuing genuine social impact,” said Preziosi. “We need to support next-generation approaches that recognize the critical role of nurses – who make up the largest segment of the global healthcare workforce – in advancing primary care, resilient health systems, and universal health coverage solutions to optimize population health in every country.”

    “As the report points out, nearly 80% of the world’s nurses are working in countries that cover only half the world’s population. This is a critical imbalance in the global nursing workforce that must be addressed. We can help do that with a greater focus on scaling up high-quality nursing education and career development that expands across borders to enable nurses everywhere to deliver on their potential,” he added.

    Preziosi also noted these opportunities highlighted in the report:

    • Progress in the expansion of nurse-led care models, with more than 60% of countries now having introduced Advanced Practice Nursing. By enhancing localized, specialized care, these models are proven to deliver cost-effective care and offer a way forward in expanding health coverage and healthcare equity.

    • The nursing profession globally is becoming more skilled and prepared, with 80% of the world’s nurses now at the “professional” level. The challenge ahead, said Preziosi, is to ensure they have opportunities to work at the full extent of their education, which requires regulatory frameworks to be strengthened and modernized to reflect updated scopes of practice and relevant continuing professional development.

    • The wider use of digital health tools is bringing expert consultations to remote areas, including those powered by telehealth and artificial intelligence. These are showing great promise in enhancing accessibility and bridging gaps in care delivery, invigorating nursing education, and improving efficiency, accessibility, and outcomes.

    Seizing on these and other opportunities highlighted in the report, Preziosi expressed optimism that the grave challenges posed by the nursing shortage and other factors can be addressed.

    “When the people who deliver the care are empowered with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration to achieve excellence in their profession, they can lead the way to resolving the healthcare challenges of today and tomorrow,” he said.

    SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / Jaguar Health, Inc.(NASDAQ:JAGX) (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) today reported its consolidated first-quarter 2025 financial results.

    2025 FIRST QUARTER COMPANY FINANCIAL RESULTS:

    • Net Prescription Products Revenue: The combined net revenue for the Company’s prescription products (Mytesi®, Gelclair®, and Canalevia®-CA1) was approximately $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 37% over the combined net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024, which totaled approximately $3.5 million, and a decrease of approximately 6% over the combined net revenue for the first quarter of 2024, which totaled approximately $2.4 million.

    • Mytesi Prescription Volume: Mytesi prescription volume increased by approximately 1.8% in the first quarter of 2025 over the first quarter of 2024 and decreased by approximately 13.5% in the first quarter of 2025 over the fourth quarter of 2024. Prescription volume differs from invoiced sales volume, which reflects, among other factors, varying buying patterns among specialty pharmacies in the closed network as they manage their inventory levels.

    • License Revenue: For the first quarter of 2025, the Company recognized license fees of $42,500 from a securities purchase agreement with a European partner, which was supported by a binding term sheet. This amount was consistently recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024 and none in the first quarter of 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the total deferred revenue associated with this contract amounts to approximately $0.7 million.

    • Neonorm: Revenues for the non-prescription Neonorm products were minimal for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024.

    • Cost of Product Revenue: Total cost of product revenue increased by approximately $0.1 million, from $0.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

    • Research and Development: The R&D expense decreased by $0.6 million, from $4.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to $3.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the conclusion of the Phase 3 OnTarget clinical trial, which reduced trial-related contract manufacturing services and regulatory activities.

    • Sales and Marketing: The Sales and Marketing expense increased by approximately $1.1 million, from $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 to $2.5 million during the same quarter in 2025. The increase in this expense was mostly due to expanded market access activities and the commercial launch of Gelclair.

    • General and Administrative: The G&A expense increased by approximately $0.5 million, from $4.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 to $4.9 million during the same quarter in 2025, largely due to increased legal expenses.

    • Loss from Operations: Loss from operations increased by $1.2 million, from $8.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 to $9.4 million during the same period in 2025.

    • Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common shareholders increased by approximately $1.2 million, from $9.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 to $10.4 million in the same period in 2025. In addition to the loss from operations:

    • Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.7 million, from $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, to approximately $56,000 income for the same period in 2025, primarily due to changing the accounting of certain debt instruments designated at Fair Value Option (FVO).

    • Non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA: Non-GAAP recurring EBITDA for the first quarters of 2025 and 2024 were a net loss of $9.6 million and $7.5 million, respectively.

    Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Measures

    The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP recurring EBITDA, which are considered non-GAAP under applicable SEC rules. Jaguar believes that the disclosure items of these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that reflects the basis upon which Company management assesses and operates the business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP net sales and GAAP net loss and are not substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in conformity with GAAP.

    The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss before interest expense and other expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and provision for or benefit from income taxes. The Company defines non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA as non-GAAP EBITDA adjusted for certain non-recurring revenues and expenses. Company management believes that non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA are meaningful indicators of Jaguar’s performance and provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

    NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / On May 1, 2025, ADS-TEC Energy (NASDAQ:ADSE), a global leader in battery-based energy storage and ultra-fast EV charging solutions, announced it has secured up to $50 million in growth capital from well-recognized institutional investors. The proceeds from the offering will be disbursed in two tranches – $15 million in immediate proceeds available to the company and $35 million to become available upon the setup of a controlled account – and will fuel the company’s strategic expansion across Europe and North America. The transaction was fully subscribed, and the subscription period has concluded. The offering closed on May 2, 2025.

    “We believe this funding is a strong validation of our long-term vision,” said Thomas Speidel, CEO of ADS-TEC Energy. “We expect to deploy these proceeds in a manner that will allows us to take a significant step forward in transforming our business into a vertically integrated, full-service provider. Not only expanding our physical footprint-but building a sustainable, recurring revenue model with long-term value for our customers and shareholders.”

    ADS-TEC Energy has established itself as a provider of high-performance, decentralized, battery-based platform solutions tailored for B2B customers. Its offerings span hardware, proprietary software, service-level agreements (SLAs), and smart features-all developed and manufactured in-house. These SLAs are intended to ensure uninterrupted infrastructure performance over decades, providing reliability for customers and consistent revenue streams for the company.

    With the new capital, ADS-TEC Energy plans to evolve its business model to include full project delivery-covering financing, installation, commissioning, and long-term operation of charging assets, energy optimization and trading software, and digital advertising platforms. This 360-degree solution is being deployed across exclusive locations such as supermarkets, convenience stores, DIY retailers, and gas stations.

    “Until now, ADS-TEC focused on supplying our proprietary ultra-fast charging technology to B2B customers like oil and gas companies, retail chains, and fleet operators,” said Stefan Berndt-von Bülow, CFO of ADS-TEC Energy. “Our expanded model introduces an opportunity to achieve a robust, multi-year recurring revenue structure that enhances visibility, predictability, and overall financial strength. We already have multiple international projects in motion.”

    Among those projects is a pipeline of more than 300 sites in Germany where ADS-TEC is expected to have exclusive deployment rights for its ChargePost platform. Revenue from these sites is expected to ramp up beginning in late 2025 and into early 2026. Monetization is expected to stem from energy trading, super-fast charging, and advertising, all managed directly by ADS-TEC.

    The expected net proceeds of up to $47.2 from this offering will be used for general corporate purposes. Such purposes may include working capital, capital expenditures, repayment and refinancing of debt, the acquisition of companies, businesses, technology or other assets.
