  • From Gold to Innovation: How SMX Elevates Quality, Efficacy, and Global Standards

    Summary: Gold and silver have long been trusted as symbols of stability and lasting value. Today, modern markets demand more than ownership – they require transparency, traceability, and verified authenticity. As technology reshapes global standards, innovation is adding a new layer of trust to precious metals. This shift is redefining how value is protected in a rapidly evolving economy.

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / For generations, investors have trusted gold and silver as reliable stores of value. In times of uncertainty, capital naturally moves toward assets that are tangible, scarce, and globally recognized.

    But today, value is evolving.

    It is no longer defined only by physical ownership – it is also shaped by verification, transparency, and technological infrastructure.

    Gold’s Traditional Value Meets Modern Innovation

    Gold has always symbolized stability. Its limited supply and long history make it one of the world’s most trusted assets.

    Yet gold today is not confined to vaults. It powers advanced electronics, artificial intelligence systems, aerospace technologies, and satellite communications. Silver supports renewable energy, electric vehicles, and high-performance medical applications.

    Precious metals are now as much about innovation as they are about preservation.

    Silver and Gold in 21st Century Industries

    Modern economies rely heavily on gold and silver. These metals are critical to energy transitions, digital infrastructure, and next-generation manufacturing.

    As industries become more advanced, the expectations around these materials also rise. Investors and regulators now expect:

    • Verified origin

    • Responsible sourcing

    • Authenticity validation

    • ESG transparency

    • Full lifecycle traceability

    Ownership alone is no longer enough. Proof matters.

    The Role of Advanced Technology in Precious Metals

    The metals industry itself is changing. Mining operations increasingly use automation, artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, and drone mapping to improve safety and efficiency.

    Innovation is transforming not only how metals are extracted – but also how they are tracked and verified throughout their lifecycle.

    This shift marks a structural evolution in the market.

    Traceability as Innovation – From Mine to Market

    Today’s gold and silver markets face challenges:

    • Counterfeiting

    • Complex supply chains

    • Recycling transparency issues

    • Growing regulatory oversight

    To address this, SMX integrates advanced material science with secure digital systems. By embedding molecular markers into materials and linking them to digital records, physical assets can carry verifiable identities.

    This enables:

    • Proof of origin verification

    • Responsible sourcing validation

    • Chain-of-custody transparency

    • Authentication at every transaction point

    From mine to refinery to final market, trust becomes measurable.

    Why Investors Should Watch Innovation, Not Just Metals

    Gold and silver will likely remain foundational assets for generations. Their scarcity and historical performance continue to attract global capital.

    However, long-term structural value increasingly depends on the systems that protect and validate those assets.

    Technology platforms that strengthen transparency and compliance represent a complementary layer of value. Rather than replacing precious metals, innovation enhances them.

    In a world where markets demand proof, verification infrastructure becomes strategic.

    About SMX

    SMX is a technology company focused on material authentication, traceability, and supply chain transparency. The company integrates advanced material science with secure digital systems to enable physical products – including precious metals – to carry verifiable identities.

    By embedding molecular markers directly into materials and linking them to secure digital records, SMX supports authentication, proof of origin, responsible sourcing validation, and lifecycle traceability. Its solutions are designed to align with evolving global regulatory standards, ESG reporting requirements, and circular economy initiatives.

    Operating at the intersection of physical materials and digital infrastructure, SMX provides industries with tools to enhance transparency, strengthen compliance, and improve confidence across complex global supply chains.

    Conclusion

    Gold represents trust.

    Innovation strengthens it.

    As global standards tighten and transparency becomes essential, the systems that authenticate and elevate precious metals are becoming increasingly important.

    By combining material science with digital traceability, SMX operates at the intersection of timeless assets and modern infrastructure – helping advance quality, accountability, and global standards in a rapidly evolving marketplace.

  • Worksport Delivers Breakout Q4: Revenue Up 65% YoY, Gross Profit Up 380%

    FY2025 Revenue Climbs 91% to Record $16.2M as Margin Expansion Accelerates and Clean Energy Portfolio Enters Monetization Phase

    WEST SENECA, NY / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ:WKSP) (“Worksport” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based technology and manufacturing company focused on clean energy solutions and automotive accessories for consumer and reseller channels, today announced preliminary top-line results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025. The Company closed fiscal 2025 with its strongest operational performance to date, delivering 65% year-over-year revenue growth in the fourth quarter and 91% full-year revenue growth, while validating the scalability of its domestic manufacturing platform through substantial gross margin and gross profit expansion.

    Q4 2025 Financial Highlights (Unaudited)

    • Quarterly Revenue Growth: Q4 2025 Net Sales increased to $4.84 million; A 65% increase compared to $2.93million in Q4 2024.

    • Structural Margin Expansion: Gross margin for the quarter reached 32%, compared to 11% in the prior year period; An expansion of 2,100 basis points.

    • Gross Profit Surge: Gross profit for the quarter rose to ~$1.5 million, representing a 380% increase year-over-year ($0.3 million in Q4 2024)
    • Fiscal Year Performance: Full-year 2025 revenue reached a record $16.2 million, up 91% from $8.5 million in 2024.

    “Our Q4 results demonstrate that our U.S. manufacturing engine is not just operational, but highly resilient,” said Steven Rossi, CEO of Worksport. “We have proven we can expand margins above 31% even in a rising cost environment. This ‘manufacturing alpha’ provides the stable financial foundation required to support our next phase of growth.”

    Aluminum Price Increases; Margin Expansion

    A key highlight of the Company’s 2025 performance was its ability to expand gross margins despite significant increases in raw material costs. During the year, domestic aluminum prices rose by more than 35%, driven by supply constraints and tariff-related pressures. For most industrial manufacturers, particularly those where aluminum is a primary input for products such as the AL3, HD3, and AL4, cost inflation would typically result in margin compression. Worksport, however, successfully grew gross margins despite aluminum price volatility.

    By transitioning production to its West Seneca, NY facility, the Company successfully offset rising commodity costs through:

    • Advanced Manufacturing: Utilizing latest technology and production machinery to create a lean and scalable operation.

    • Scrap Reduction: Implementing precision engineering to minimize aluminum waste per unit.

    • Fixed Cost Absorption: Spreading overhead costs across a daily production volume that more than doubled by the end of the year.

    Strategic Pivot: From R&D Spend to Monetization Phase

    As Worksport enters 2026, the Company is executing a deliberate shift in how it allocates capital across its clean-energy portfolio. The majority of the capital expenditures and Research & Development investments required to design, validate, and de-risk the SOLIS Solar Tonneau Cover, COR Portable Energy System, and Aetherlux Heat Pump have now been incurred.

    With core development substantially complete, management expects R&D intensity to decline meaningfully. These technologies are no longer being treated as ongoing cost centers, but as invested assets transitioning into their commercial monetization phase, where incremental spending is increasingly directed toward certification, manufacturing scale-up, sales infrastructure, and revenue generation rather than foundational engineering.

    • COR & SOLIS: With commercial launch beginning in January 2026, these products are transitioning from development projects to revenue-generating inventory. The infrastructure to manufacture and distribute these units is fully deployed, marketing will now scale up.

    • Aetherlux (Terravis Energy): Following the validation of its ZeroFrost technology and the selection of a manufacturing partner, Aetherlux is positioned as a high-value asset targeting the $148 billion HVAC market, with minimal additional CapEx required for scaling. Aetherlux has received attention from Governments and several multi-national businesses.

    2026 Outlook Update

    Worksport is currently finalizing its order book and production schedules for the coming year. The Company expects to issue an update on forward guidance for Fiscal Year 2026, including specific revenue and cash flow positivity targets, later this quarter.

  • Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. Announces Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended December 28, 2025

    RICHARDSON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / Optex Systems Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:OPXS), a leading manufacturer of precision optical sighting systems for domestic and worldwide military and commercial applications, announced financial results for the three months ended December 28, 2025.

    Chad George, CEO of Optex Systems Holdings, Inc., commented, “Sales increased compared to the prior year quarter due to an increase in periscope demand, as well as an increase in our new product development activities for the XM30 program. Margins compressed due in large part to a loss reserve that we had to realize for the gold usage on the Abrams day window program. The price of gold has increased by over 250% over the last three years which is causing margin erosion on this 5 year old IDIQ contract. We do not expect the lower gross profit to continue through the balance of 2026, as our old legacy periscope contracts roll off and are replaced with more favorable pricing in our current backlog.

    We also incurred $0.3 million of non-recurring costs within general and administrative expenses associated with the CEO transition as well as with the retirement of two other senior level employees. We expect G&A spending to remain at a higher level during 2026, as we invest in research and development to drive new product lines and capabilities at Optex. Increased defense spending is driving additional demand for opto-mechanical assemblies, and we are increasing our investment to meet this anticipated demand. Long-term, we expect our margins to be in line with our prior year’s performance as this additional spending is expected to be offset by higher margins on our legacy programs and continued revenue growth.”

    For the three months ended December 28, 2025, our total revenues increased by $0.9 million, or 11.6%, compared to the prior year period. The increase in revenue was primarily driven by increased revenue at the Optex Richardson segment, partially offset by decreased revenue at the Applied Optics Center segment.

    Optex Richardson revenue increased by $1.9 million or 55.9% for the three months ended December 28, 2025 as compared to the prior year period with increased production levels on the periscope product line combined with higher sighting system deliveries against our new XM30 display periscope assemblies and higher customer demand for muzzle reference systems and big eye binoculars in our other product group.

    Applied Optics Center revenue decreased by $1.0 million or 20.1% for the three months ended December 28, 2025 as compared to the prior year period. The revenue decrease is primarily attributable to lower customer demand for laser filters and optical assemblies. We expect revenues to increase across laser filters and optical assemblies during the second half of fiscal year 2026 based on new order bookings and anticipated contract awards.

    Consolidated gross profit for the three months ended December 28, 2025 was slightly lower during the current year period as compared to the prior year period a higher mix of shipments against our legacy long-term loss contracts combined with changes in mix between segments and product lines combined. During the current year three-month period the Applied Optics Center realized increased cost of sales due to contract loss reserves which was driven by higher usage and the price of gold applied during the coating process on one of its product lines. The lower gross profit for the Applied Optics Center segment was somewhat offset by improved gross profit at the Optex Richardson segment on higher revenue, changes in product mix, improved labor performance on our periscope line and a reduction in loss contract deliveries as the long-term loss contracts have been completed or are nearing completion. The consolidated gross margin percentage decreased from 26.0% to 22.9% in the current year three-month period as compared to the prior year three-month period. We anticipate higher revenues and gross profits for both segments during the second through fourth quarters of fiscal year 2026, as the long-term loss contract for Optex Richardson is nearing completion and has been replaced with more favorably priced orders and revenues are shifting at the Applied Optics Center toward more profitable product lines.

    During the three months ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, we recorded operating expenses of $1.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Operating expenses increased by 58.3% over the prior year period primarily due to increased labor and fringes of $0.5 million, increased stock compensation of $0.1 million and increased legal and IT service costs of $0.1 million. During the three-month period ended December 28, 2025, the Company incurred $0.3 million in increased general and administrative costs associated with higher salaries and fringes for Chad George, serving as President of Optex Systems Holdings. Danny Schoening retired as Chief Executive Officer effective on December 20, 2025, at which time Chad George assumed the role of the Company CEO. In addition, during the three-month period ending December 28, 2025, there were two senior level positions that were double staffed as retiring employees were training their hired replacements. With the resignation of Danny Schoening in December, and the retirement of the two senior level employees in early January 2026, we do not expect these expenses to recur beyond the first three months of fiscal year 2026.

    During the three months ended December 28, 2025, we recorded operating income of $0.1 million, as compared to operating income of $0.9 million during the three months ended December 29, 2024. The $0.8 million decrease in operating income is primarily due to lower gross profit and higher general and administrative costs.

    During the three months ended December 28, 2025, we recorded net income applicable to common shareholders of $0.2 million as compared to net income applicable to common shareholders of $0.8 million during the three months ended December 29, 2024. The $0.6 million decrease in net income is primarily attributable to increase general and administrative costs of $0.7 million, partially offset by interest revenue and a federal income tax benefit during the three month period ended December 28, 2025.

    Our key performance measures for the three months ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 are summarized below.

    Our Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $0.4 million to $0.7 million for the three months ended December 28, 2025, as compared to $1.1 million for the prior year period. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily driven by lower net income of ($0.6) million, offset with the addition of $0.3 million in non-recurring general and administrative costs and other changes of ($0.1) million as compared to the prior year period.

    Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation or a substitute for performance measures calculated under GAAP. This non-GAAP measure excludes certain cash expenses that we are obligated to make. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do or may not calculate it at all, which limits the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a comparative measure.

    During the three months ended December 28, 2025, the Company booked $7.9 million in new orders, representing a 31.7% increase over the prior year period orders of $6.0 million. The orders for the most recently completed three months consist of $3.8 million for our Optex Richardson segment and $4.1 million attributable to the Applied Optics Center segment.

    A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from U.S. Government contracts, which are subject to annual congressional appropriations. Failure to pass the annual appropriations by October 1, the start of the new fiscal year, often results in a continuing resolution (“CR”) which can delay new contract awards, exercising of contract options, and starting of new program initiatives, which could materially and adversely affect our future revenues. From October 1, 2025 to November 12, 2025, the federal government of the United States was in a shutdown as Congress failed to pass appropriations legislation for the 2026 fiscal year. On November 10, 2025, Congress passed a CR, which funded the government at existing spending levels through January 30, 2026. On February 3, 2026 a funding appropriation bill was passed by Congress and signed by the President which covers the majority of U.S. Government spending for the 2026 fiscal year. The funding bill excluded the Department of Homeland Security which is subject to further negotiations. The Company has not experienced a slow-down of total consolidated contract awards during the first three months of fiscal year 2026, however we have experienced a reduction in contract awards for our laser filters at the Applied Optics Center which we attribute to the 2025 government shutdown and CR. While we cannot provide assurances, we are anticipating new contract awards against current outstanding proposal requests for these laser filters as a result of the approved funding.

    Subsequent to the period ended December 28, 2025, on February 6, 2026, the Applied Optics Center received a new order from a prime military contractor for laser interface filters valued at $2.2 million with deliveries to begin in the third fiscal quarter of 2026 and extend into the second fiscal quarter of 2027. We anticipate additional awards since the appropriations bill was approved on February 3, 2026.

    As of December 28, 2025, Optex Systems Holdings had working capital of $21.2 million, as compared to $21.1 million as of September 28, 2025. During the three months ended December 28, 2025, we used operating cash of $(0.1) million, primarily driven by increased inventory and payments against accounts payable. During the three months ended December 28, 2025, there were no borrowings or payments against our revolving credit facility with Texas Capital Bank.

    At December 28, 2025, the Company had approximately $5.8 million in cash and no outstanding balance on our revolving credit line. As of December 28, 2025, our outstanding accounts receivable balance was $4.4 million, of which $4.1 million has been collected during January 2026.

    During the three months ended December 28, 2025 the Company invested $0.5 million and as of December 28, 2025 has capital commitments of an additional $0.5 million for the purchase of property and equipment including a DLC coater and prototype metal machining center. The Company plans to spend a total $2.4 million in capital investment over fiscal year ending 2026 to expand its current capacity as well as develop new capabilities to expand into adjacent markets. Obsolete equipment will be replaced with new or upgraded systems to reduce downtime and drive capacity improvements for both Optex Richardson and the Applied Optics Center. Also, new capabilities will be required to support new product lines at Applied Optics Center, as well as support the increased focus on research and rapid prototype development at Optex Richardson.

    On February 9, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company terminated the Company’s existing stock repurchase program and approved a new stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company may purchase up to $10 million in shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). The Repurchase Program allows the Company to purchase common stock from time to time through, among other methods, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, and/or pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, subject to applicable securities laws and other legal requirements and relevant factors. The number of shares purchased and the timing of any purchases will depend upon a number of factors, including the price and availability of the Company’s common stock and general market conditions. The Repurchase Program may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time, without prior notice.

    Highlights of the Consolidated and Segment Results of Operations have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These financial highlights do not include all information and disclosures required in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes and should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-Q for the three months ended December 28, 2025 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended September 28, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 11, 2026 and December 17, 2025, respectively.

  • SocialPost.ai Launches AI That Turns Any Business Website Into On-Brand Social Media Content Automatically

    New technology reads a company’s website and content to generate unlimited on-brand social posts with no setup required

    MIAMI, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / SocialPost.ai, an AI-powered social media platform built for small businesses, today announced the launch of a new capability that automatically creates fully on-brand social media content by analyzing a business’s website.

    With SocialPost.ai, businesses no longer need to manually define brand colors, voice, or creative direction. Users simply enter their website URL, and the platform’s AI analyzes the company’s content, brand assets, blogs, tone, services, and products. From there, it generates ready-to-publish social media posts that reflect the company’s actual brand, both visually and contextually.

    “This removes the setup tax that keeps so many businesses from being consistent on social media,” said Gregory Scott Henson, Founder and CEO of SocialPost.ai. “If your website already explains who you are and what you do, our AI can turn that into high-quality social content instantly. You can customize everything or do nothing at all.”

    Looking ahead, SocialPost.ai plans to introduce AI Agents that continuously learn from a company’s existing content and brand presence. These agents will help ensure posts stay aligned over time while fresh creative is consistently generated, even while business owners sleep. Businesses will remain in full control and can edit, refine, or override any post. The default output is designed to be immediately usable.

    “This is genuinely incredible technology,” said Nikita Sanchez, Social Media Manager at ALIANDO. “By switching our creative workflow from Canva to SocialPost.ai, we’re saving hours every week that used to be spent designing our own creatives. The AI understands our brand and consistently produces content that’s ready to use.”

    SocialPost.ai also removes common usage limits that restrict experimentation. Its free forever plan includes unlimited content generation with no credit card required, allowing businesses to test, iterate, and publish without friction.

    This release reinforces SocialPost.ai’s mission to make professional-quality social media accessible to every business, regardless of size or budget, by replacing manual design and writing workflows with brand-aware automation.

    The new website-powered content engine is available immediately at https://socialpost.ai

  • Gemdale Gold Announces Commencement of Trading on the TSX Venture Exchange

    VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / Gemdale Gold Inc. (TSXV:GEMG) (“Gemdale“, “Gemdale Gold” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce its common shares commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“) today under the ticker symbol “GEMG”.

    The Company previously announced receipt of final approval for listing on the TSXV on February 9, 2026.

    “We are pleased to begin trading on the TSX Venture Exchange and appreciate the support of our shareholders and partners as we mark this milestone and continue to advance our exploration programs,” said Patrick Chidley, Executive Chairman.

    More About Gemdale Gold

    Gemdale Gold Inc. is a mineral exploration company focused on gold and critical minerals in Finland. Over the past eight years as a private company, the Company has assembled a portfolio of exploration licences located in established and emerging mineral districts.

    The Company’s flagship asset is the Pontio Gold Project in Western Finland, where more than 10,000 metres of drilling have been completed to date, primarily along the “M2 Trend”. Drilling has intersected near-surface gold mineralization along an interpreted strike length of approximately four kilometres. The Company intends to undertake an additional drill program to further delineate known zones of mineralization. Additional technical information about the Pontio Gold Project is contained in the Company’s technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Pontio Project, Central Ostrobothnia, Finland“, available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+.

    The Company’s wholly owned principal projects include:

    • Pontio Gold Project (Western Finland): Historical and recent drilling has outlined near-surface gold mineralization along a multi-kilometre trend that remains open along strike and at depth.

    • Isoneva (Western Finland): Exploration stage gold project located proximal to extensive boulder train anomalies. The property is subject to an option agreement (the “Isoneva Option“) with Nordique Resources Inc. (“Nordique“) pursuant to which Nordique may earn a 100% interest by, among other things, funding exploration expenditures over a three-year period and making additional financial commitments to the Company. For more information on the Isoneva Option, please see the Company’s final long form prospectus dated January 30, 2026 under the heading “Business of the Corporation – January 1, 2025 to the date hereof“.

    • Lapland Projects (Northern Finland): A group of exploration permits and applications located within a recognized gold and base-metal exploration region, in proximity to several recent regional discoveries.

    • Kumiseva (Western Finland): Copper-nickel-platinum-palladium exploration licenses where historical government drilling has been completed.

    • Savo / Rantasalmi (Southeastern Finland): Exploration license application area containing a historical inferred resource estimate prepared by a prior operator of 3.23 million tonnes grading 2.7 g/t gold for approximately 276,000 ounces of gold (see the Company’s news release dated May 15, 2023). The historical resource estimate is considered historical in nature, and a qualified person has not completed sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.

    Additional disclosure, including the Company’s financial statements, technical reports, news releases and other information, can be obtained at gemdalegold.com or on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

  • Aspire Biopharma Announces $21 Million Private Placement by Select Investors, Strengthening Balance Sheet, Capital Position, and Fortifying Shareholder Equity to Meet Nasdaq Requirements

    ESTERO, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / Aspire Biopharma Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:ASBP) (“Aspire” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company developing multi-faceted patent-pending drug delivery technology, today announced that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement on February 6, 2026 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with select institutional and accredited investors (collectively, the “Investors”) for the purchase and sale of up to 26,250 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (each, a “Preferred Share” and collectively, the “Preferred Shares”), at a purchase price of $800 per Preferred Share. The Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), representing aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $21.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses (the “Offering”).

    Concurrently with the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the initial closing (the “Initial Closing”) of the Offering on February 6, 2026, issuing an aggregate of 13,750 Preferred Shares for gross proceeds of $11.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses and amounts used for the repayment of certain legacy indebtedness. In accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, a portion of the proceeds from the initial closing will be used to support the Company’s legacy business operations, fund strategic initiatives and pay offering-related expenses. The second closing of the Offering is expected to occur at a later date and remains subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and the other conditions set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC’). Additional information regarding the Offering is available in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 11, 2026 with the SEC.

    The Offering is expected to enable the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s stockholders’ equity listing requirements, representing an important milestone in the Company’s ongoing balance sheet restructuring and positioning the Company to support the continued development of its patent-pending drug delivery technologies.

    Following the Initial Closing, the Company expects to significantly reduce its outstanding indebtedness and further strengthen its balance sheet, enhancing financial flexibility and providing additional resources to advance its clinical and development initiatives while supporting long-term shareholder value.

    RBW Capital Partners LLC, whose securities and brokerage services are offered through Dawson James Securities, Inc., acted as sole placement agent for the private placement.

The securities were offered only to accredited investors. The Company has agreed to file one or more registration statements with the SEC covering the resale of the unregistered shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares.

  • IRS Can Reverse “Currently Not Collectible” Status – Clear Start Tax Explains What Triggers a Return to Active Collections

    Tax experts warn that financial improvements, missed filings, or IRS reviews can quickly reactivate suspended collection actions

    IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / Taxpayers who believe their IRS debt is safely on hold may be facing a false sense of security. According to tax resolution specialists at Clear Start Tax, the Internal Revenue Service can reverse a taxpayer’s “Currently Not Collectible” (CNC) status-often without much warning-sending accounts back into active collections.

    CNC status is typically granted when a taxpayer demonstrates financial hardship and an inability to pay. While it temporarily halts enforcement actions such as levies or garnishments, it does not eliminate the debt. Clear Start Tax warns that many taxpayers mistakenly assume CNC status is permanent, when in reality it is subject to regular IRS review.

    “Currently Not Collectible status is more like a pause button than a resolution,” said a spokesperson for Clear Start Tax. “The IRS continues monitoring income, bank activity, and filing compliance. If anything changes-or if required returns aren’t filed-the IRS can reactivate collections.”

    According to Clear Start Tax, common triggers for reversing CNC status include an increase in income, receipt of large sums such as bonuses or inheritance, newly filed tax returns showing improved finances, or failure to stay compliant with ongoing filing requirements. In some cases, IRS reviews alone-conducted every one to two years-can result in a status change even if the taxpayer did not initiate contact.

    “When CNC status is lifted, taxpayers may suddenly face bank levies, wage garnishments, or renewed collection notices,” the spokesperson added. “That’s often a shock for people who believed their case was essentially closed.”

    By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.

    Tax professionals emphasize that CNC status should be viewed as a temporary safeguard, not a long-term solution. Proactive planning, continued compliance, and periodic review of one’s IRS account are critical to avoiding unexpected enforcement.

    “Taxpayers need to understand that silence from the IRS doesn’t mean the issue is gone,” Clear Start Tax noted. “It usually means the account is being watched.”

    About Clear Start Tax

    Clear Start Tax is a national tax resolution firm that helps individuals and businesses address IRS and state tax debt. The firm specializes in navigating complex IRS programs, compliance requirements, and collection alternatives to help taxpayers regain financial stability.

  • Organto Foods Inc. Expands Scalable and Flexible Logistics Platform to Support 2026 Growth

    Logistics and infrastructure platform positioned to scale with increased commercial growth

    VANCOUVER, BC AND BREDA, THE NETHERLANDS / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / Organto Foods Incorporated (TSXV:OGO)(OTCQX:OGOFF)(FSE:OGF0) (“Organto” or the “Company”) announces that it has been strategically expanding its scalable, flexible, and capital-efficient operations and logistics platform in order to support the expected commercial growth forecast for 2026 and to underpin its growth objectives for 2026 and beyond.

    Over recent months, Organto has been proactively expanding and diversifying its global logistics capabilities, enabling the Company to service increased volumes from both existing customers and newly awarded retail programs. This platform is designed to be capital-efficient, highly flexible, and cost-optimized, allowing Organto to adapt quickly to changes in volume, routing, and market conditions as sales growth accelerates.

    As part of this operational readiness, Organto has contracted with four new sea freight carriers to significantly expand its active carrier base, including several global shipping leaders. This expanded carrier base will enhance capacity, routing flexibility, and scheduling reliability, optimizing Organto’s product handling. The Company has also expanded its sourcing and export capabilities by adding two new ports of origin in Ecuador and Guatemala, improving product handling and efficiency across key growing regions.

    Organto has also added three new destination ports located in Germany, Spain, and France – strengthening access to core European markets and improving downstream logistics performance.

    “These operational and logistics capabilities are critical to support our expected 2026 growth,” said Alexander Widmann, VP Operations, the New Fruit Group, a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Organto Foods Inc. “By building a diversified, flexible, and capital-efficient logistics platform ahead of forecast sales growth, we believe we are well positioned to optimize costs, improve service levels, and scale efficiently as new retail programs ramp up.”

    The Company expects that this infrastructure and logistics framework will support improved cost control, enhanced execution reliability, and increased resilience across the supply chain as sales volumes continue to grow in 2026. With strong sales growth projected, an expanded grower network, and a scalable, flexible operations and logistics platform under development, Organto enters 2026 well-positioned to execute on its growth plans and deliver long-term value to shareholders and commercial partners alike.

  • Bebuzee Becomes the First Western Company to Launch a True Super App-Redefining the Future of Digital Platforms

    As Silicon Valley Talks, Bebuzee Delivers. Global Expansion Begins Following Major Platform Update Next Weekend.

    MIAMI, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / While much of the tech world has been talking about super apps, Bebuzee has already built one.

    Bebuzee today officially announces itself as the first company in the Western world to create and deploy a fully integrated Super App, marking a defining moment in the evolution of global technology platforms. This milestone comes as high-profile figures-including Elon Musk-have publicly discussed ambitions to transform existing platforms into super apps. Bebuzee, however, has quietly done what others are still planning.

    A major platform update launching next weekend will unlock the next phase of Bebuzee’s vision, immediately followed by a global push rolling out over the coming weeks.

    From Concept to Reality

    Super apps-platforms that combine social networking, payments, commerce, content, and services into a single ecosystem-have long dominated Asia. Until now, no Western company has successfully delivered a true super app at scale.

    Bebuzee has changed that.

    Built from the ground up, Bebuzee seamlessly integrates social media, video, messaging, payments, marketplaces, business tools, and content discovery into one unified experience-eliminating the need for multiple apps and fragmented platforms.

    “While others are discussing what a super app could be, we focused on building what it should be,” said a spokesperson for Bebuzee. “This isn’t a pivot or a rebrand-it’s the result of years of execution, product discipline, and long-term vision.”

    Perfect Timing in a Shifting Tech Landscape

    The announcement comes at a moment when user trust, platform fatigue, and ecosystem fragmentation are at all-time highs. Consumers and creators alike are demanding simplicity, ownership, and real utility-qualities Bebuzee has embedded into its platform from day one.

    Unlike platforms attempting to retrofit legacy systems into all-in-one solutions, Bebuzee’s architecture was designed natively as a super app, allowing it to scale faster, integrate deeper, and innovate without constraint.

    What’s Next

    • Major Platform Update: Launching next weekend

    • Global Expansion: Rolling out across key international markets in the weeks following

    • Strategic Partnerships & Creator Growth: To be announced during the global push

    This next phase positions Bebuzee not just as a social platform-but as a foundational digital ecosystem for the West, with global ambitions.

    The Super App Era Has Arrived

    For years, the super app conversation has belonged to the future. With Bebuzee, the future is now-and it’s already live.
