VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / August 8, 2025 / (TSX:NANO)(OTCQB:NNOMF)(Frankfurt:LBMB) Nano One® Materials Corp. (“Nano One” or the “Company”), a process technology company specializing in lithium-ion battery cathode active materials, is pleased to provide an update on its participation in the Arkansas Lithium Technology Accelerator (ALTA), the first US-based accelerator aimed at catalyzing a domestic, durable, and resilient lithium-ion battery supply chain. Through ALTA, Nano One has added to its strategic insights, broadened its US presence and industrial relationships, and further validated the critical advantages of its One-Pot™ process for localizing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode production in North America.

“Nano One’s participation was critical to the success of ALTA’s first cohort, and the feedback from Arkansas’ community, industry, and state government leaders has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Arthur Orduña, Executive Director of The Venture Center. “We believe Nano One’s strategy, leadership, and technology will be key to developing a localized US battery supply chain. Their cathode manufacturing process targets the most critical gap in our nation’s supply chain, the midstream, with a disruptive innovation that leapfrogs and significantly improves on current processes so we can accelerate breaking our dependence on overseas manufacturing. This aligns with Governor Sanders’ and Commerce Secretary Hugh McDonald’s vision of leveraging Arkansas’ world-class lithium reserves to attract the best upstream and midstream technology providers, maximize statewide economic benefits, and reduce reliance on adversarial supply chains. The strength of ALTA’s first cohort, featuring Nano One and supported by industry leaders like founding partner Standard Lithium, is a good first step toward turning that vision into a true lithium economy.”

Participation in ALTA enabled Nano One to engage with key stakeholders in government, industry, academia, and the investment community. The Company toured Standard Lithium’s demonstration facilities, gaining valuable perspective on Arkansas’ lithium resources and the state’s commitment to innovation. Arkansas’ pro-business environment, strong ties to defence, and legacy in natural resource development make it an ideal partner in the localization of lithium supply chains. This includes extraction, refining and value-added processing into LFP cathode materials for battery energy storage systems (BESS)-a cornerstone of future-ready grid infrastructure-AI data centers, military and automotive applications.

The program culminated in Demo Day, showcasing the collective strength of ALTA’s inaugural cohort. Nano One was one of only three companies selected to participate, alongside leaders in lithium processing and geothermal technology. Backed by Standard Lithium, the Walton Family Foundation, and a network of Arkansas-based producers, government agencies, and institutions, ALTA is fostering next-generation collaboration between emerging innovators and established players.

Nano One is the only OBBB-ready solution for LFP that can directly link upstream mineral extraction to downstream cell manufacturing. The Company’s One-Pot™ process vertically integrates precursor preparation with processing to drive down cost and it also eliminates foreign-controlled inputs, wastewater byproducts, and permitting barriers that challenge traditional cathode supply chains. It enables cost-effective, modular deployment of localized CAM production across North America.

“ALTA broadened our exposure to US energy growth, its security mandate and localization efforts in Arkansas’ ecosystem,” said Dan Blondal, CEO of Nano One. “Our technology is purpose-built for North American scale-up, and the interest we received confirms that our strategy is accurately focused on a large opportunity in Arkansas that is real and growing. We look forward to working with ALTA to nurture and deepen our presence, collaborations and partnerships across the region.”

SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA — August 7, 2025 — Beyondstyle, the AI-powered discovery platform from BorderX Lab, today announced a significant advancement in the online shopping experience with the official launch of its groundbreaking new tool, the AI Gift Finder, an innovation designed to transform the art of gifting. This sophisticated assistant, affectionately named Giftly, is meticulously designed to eradicate the stress and uncertainty from gift-giving, transforming it into an intuitive, inspiring, and deeply personal journey of discovery.

The universal challenge of finding the perfect gift is a well-known source of anxiety. For countless occasions, from birthdays and anniversaries to holidays and professional milestones, individuals invest hours, and sometimes days, navigating a sea of online retailers, only to be overwhelmed by choice paralysis. This often results in last-minute, impersonal choices like gift cards or generic items that fail to capture the intended sentiment. The emotional weight of wanting to express care and appreciation is frequently overshadowed by the sheer difficulty of the task, turning a joyful intention into a frustrating chore.

Beyondstyle’s AI Gift Finder was conceived to solve this exact problem. By visiting the dedicated platform, users are guided through an elegantly simple, conversational interface. The process requires just three key pieces of information: the person they are shopping for, the specific occasion being celebrated, and a few details about the recipient’s unique interests and passions. In a matter of moments, the platform’s powerful AI engine processes these inputs, delves into a vast catalog of curated products, and presents a thoughtful selection of gift recommendations that are both creative and highly relevant.

What sets the AI Gift Finder apart from conventional search tools is its sophisticated level of intelligence. It operates far beyond simple keyword filtering.

This capability ensures that the suggestions are not just products, but genuine solutions tailored to the recipient’s identity. It serves as a creative partner, breaking users out of their gifting ruts and introducing them to novel ideas that spark delight and surprise.

“We have all experienced that moment of panic when a special occasion is approaching and we have no idea what to buy. The desire to give something meaningful is immense, but the path to finding it can be incredibly stressful,” said Albert Shen, CEO of BorderX Lab. “Our vision with the AI Gift Finder is to harness the power of artificial intelligence to restore the joy and intention to the act of giving. We are not just building a tool; we are creating a bridge for deeper human connection. Giftly is designed to be a trusted advisor that helps our users express their affection and appreciation more thoughtfully and with greater confidence.”

The applications for the AI Gift Finder are virtually limitless. It is an invaluable resource for navigating major holidays like Christmas and Valentine’s Day, but its true strength lies in its ability to assist with the deeply personal, year-round occasions that define our relationships. Whether finding a unique anniversary gift that reflects a shared memory, a birthday present that aligns with a new hobby, or a simple “thank you” gift to show gratitude, the platform provides tailored inspiration for every scenario. This efficiency gives users back their most valuable asset—time—while elevating the quality and thoughtfulness of their gift choices.

This launch further solidifies BorderX Lab’s position as a leader in applying practical AI to enhance the consumer experience through its Beyondstyle platform. By consistently developing intelligent tools that simplify complex shopping challenges, the company is setting a new standard for what customers can expect from online retail.

Cataract Surgery Linked to Cognitive Gains in Seniors, According to New Study Shared by Lucent Vision

A new study titled Cataract Surgery Boosts Memory Test Scores in Seniors by 2.8 Times reveals a compelling link between vision correction and cognitive health in older adults. Lucent Vision is spotlighting these findings, which suggest cataract surgery may do more than restore sight – it may also help preserve memory and brain function. In an aging population where both vision loss and cognitive decline are increasingly common, the findings from this recent study offer hope and an actionable path forward for patients and caregivers alike.

In the United States, cataracts remain the leading cause of visual impairment in adults over 65. While cataract surgery has long been recognized for its effectiveness in restoring vision, new data suggests it may also influence cognitive outcomes. The study examined seniors diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and found that seniors who underwent cataract surgery were 2.8 times more likely to show improved memory test scores compared to peers with more advanced dementia. The improvement was measured using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), a widely used tool for evaluating memory, attention, and other executive functions. In the group with MCI, average MMSE scores rose from 25.7 to 27.1 within three months of surgery—an increase that, while numerically modest, represents a meaningful change in cognitive performance.

This finding is especially significant because MCI is an early stage of cognitive decline. At this stage, patients may still function independently and participate in daily activities, but they are at higher risk of progressing to dementia. By identifying and addressing reversible risk factors such as visual impairment, clinicians may be able to delay or reduce the progression of cognitive decline. Cataract surgery, therefore, becomes more than a vision-restoring procedure—it is positioned as part of a broader strategy to support mental acuity and independence in aging adults.

The connection between vision loss and cognitive impairment is backed by an increasing volume of research. Cataracts cloud the eye’s natural lens, reducing the amount and quality of visual input sent to the brain. This limited input can diminish mental engagement and restrict participation in cognitively stimulating activities such as reading, driving, social interaction, and learning. Over time, reduced visual perception can lead to social withdrawal, isolation, and decreased brain stimulation, all of which are known risk factors for cognitive decline and dementia. By restoring vision, cataract surgery may reactivate these critical areas of mental engagement, contributing to better memory, attention, and overall brain health.

Notably, the study did not find a direct link between the degree of vision restored and the extent of cognitive improvement. This suggests that factors beyond visual acuity—such as increased sensory input, better contrast sensitivity, and higher environmental engagement—may play a more significant role in supporting cognition. The brain’s ability to process new sensory data appears to be reignited after cataract surgery, particularly in those whose mental faculties have not yet declined beyond a certain threshold. For patients already diagnosed with dementia, the cognitive benefits were minimal. However, even in these cases, improved vision was associated with better mobility, greater comfort, and reduced caregiver burden—demonstrating that the procedure still delivers meaningful health outcomes.

For families of patients navigating both visual impairment and early memory loss, the implications of these findings are substantial. Cataract surgery is a well-established, safe, and widely accessible procedure, especially for those covered by Medicare and most insurance plans. When performed early—before cognitive decline becomes advanced—it may support not only clearer vision but also sharper thinking. This reinforces the importance of routine eye exams for seniors and timely surgical intervention once a cataract diagnosis is made. At Lucent Vision, patient education is a core priority, and this emerging research underscores why early diagnosis and treatment should not be delayed.

The study’s findings also raise important considerations for clinicians treating older adults with comorbid conditions. Geriatric care providers, ophthalmologists, neurologists, and primary care physicians should consider working collaboratively when assessing patients with both visual and cognitive changes. Treating one condition may positively influence the other, particularly when care is coordinated and proactive. Cataract surgery should not be viewed in isolation but as a potential contributor to overall quality of life, independence, and mental resilience in aging individuals.

At Lucent Vision, these insights have prompted a renewed commitment to educating patients and families about the broader benefits of cataract surgery. The team’s patient-centered approach emphasizes the impact of visual health on everyday function, emotional wellbeing, and now, cognitive performance. By integrating these findings into the consultation and care process, Lucent Vision continues to lead the way in comprehensive, research-informed eye care for older adults.

“As a cataract surgeon, I’ve seen firsthand how restoring vision can change lives,” said Dr. Pathak, founder of Lucent Vision. “This research adds another dimension – suggesting that timely cataract surgery may also help patients stay mentally sharp and independent for longer.”

Reporters interested in exploring this topic further are encouraged to reach out for commentary from the Lucent Vision team. With expertise in cataract surgery, geriatric eye care, and patient outcomes, Lucent Vision can provide valuable insights into how these findings apply in real-world clinical settings. The growing interest in the connection between sensory health and brain function has opened the door to new conversations in the medical community, and Lucent Vision is proud to be part of that dialogue.

For potential patients and caregivers, the key message is clear: if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cataracts—especially in the presence of early memory changes—do not wait. Early surgical intervention may not only restore vision but also support clearer thinking, better focus, and a more engaged life. With the right information and expert guidance, patients can make decisions that support both their eyesight and their overall health.

To learn more about the research, explore cataract treatment options, or schedule a consultation, visit Lucent Vision’s website or contact the office directly. Cataract surgery continues to be one of the safest and most effective procedures in modern medicine—and now, it may offer new hope for supporting brain health in older adults.

Consensus Mining & Seigniorage Corporation (OTCQX:CMSG) Announces 2Q2025 Financial Results and Upcoming Shareholder Call

WHITE PLAINS, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 7, 2025 / Financial Results Summary (unaudited)

Consensus Mining & Seigniorage Corporation (“CMSG” or “the Company”) announced net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (the “Period”) of $6.7 million, or $2.99 per share, as compared to a net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.76 per share, for the prior comparable quarter of 2024.

The Company also reported net income of $4.0 million, or $1.80 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to net income of $5.4 million, or $2.40 per share, for the prior comparable year-to-date period.

Book value per share increased to $43.59 at June 30, 2025 as compared to $41.79 at the end 2024.

The Company generated $1.1 million in mining revenue for the Period, compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of lower Bitcoin rewards subsequent to the April 2024 halving, which was partially offset by higher scrypt mining revenue resulting from higher average prices of Dogecoin.

The Company has Bitcoin mining operations of 156 petahash and scrypt mining operations for Litecoin/Dogecoin of 5,998 gigahash as of June 30, 2025. The Company acquired 46 Antminer L9 machines used for scrypt mining during the second quarter of 2025 and 82 for the year to date period. These second quarter acquisitions added 736 gigahash to the Company’s scrypt mining hashrate. Our cost per megahash for this acquired equipment dropped from $0.70 per megahash to $0.58 per megahash.

During Q2 2025, the Company mined 5.8 Bitcoin (BTC) and 665 Litecoin (LTC), all of which were retained. In addition, as a result of the scrypt mining process, the Company mined approximately 2.5 million Dogecoin (DOGE), which were sold for approximately $0.5 million. A portion of the DOGE mining rewards was used to acquire 0.9 BTC, bringing the total amount of Bitcoin added for the quarter to 6.7 Bitcoin.

The Company’s quarter-end cryptocurrency holdings were primarily 334 BTC and 11,474 LTC, which were valued at $35.8 million and $1.0 million respectively. The Period-end value of all cryptocurrency holdings was $36.9 million.

The cost of revenue, a figure that largely consists of hosting costs, was $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2025, consistent with $0.7 million for the prior comparable quarter.

Operating expenses-which include depreciation of mining equipment as well as general administrative expenses-declined from $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2024 to $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. This was primarily due to lower depreciation expenses for certain equipment becoming fully depreciated or disposed of during the second half of 2024.

For the Period, the Company reported an operating loss of $0.4 million, compared to an operating loss of $0.2 million for the comparable period of 2024.

Non-operating income for the Period, including changes in the fair value of our cryptocurrency holdings-coupled with interest income-was income of $8.8 million, as compared to a loss of $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily a result of higher fair value of our cryptocurrency holdings.

Upcoming Shareholder Call

The Company has also announced an upcoming shareholder call with Chief Strategy Officer, Murray Stahl, on August 14, 2025. This call marks the successful conclusion of its application process with OTC and FINRA; its common stock is now quoted on the OTCQX under the ticker CMSG. The Company has 2,250,009 shares outstanding, out of 5,000,000 shares authorized.

RETRANSMISSION: Skineez(R) Debuts First-Ever Reversible Medical Grade Compression – A Game-Changer Made in the USA, Defying Tariffs and Redefining Retail Wellness
Skineez® Launches First-Ever Reversible Medical Grade Compression Sock-Made in the USA

Clinically Proven, Skincare-Infused, and Changing Lives Nationwide

SUDBURY, MA / ACCESS Newswire / August 7, 2025 / Skineez®, a proudly woman-owned wellness apparel brand, has just launched a revolutionary new product: the EZ Comfort™ Reversible Medical Grade Compression Sock. This industry-first innovation combines therapeutic compression with patented skincare technology-and it’s made entirely in the USA. Even better? Each pair gives customers two colors for the price of one, delivering unmatched value without compromising on comfort or performance.

No other brand has ever been able to design or engineer a reversible medical-grade compression sock – until now. Skineez has achieved what the industry said couldn’t be done, delivering a solution that blends clinical function, skin health, and fashion-forward versatility.

In a market strained by global tariffs and supply chain instability, Skineez is proudly leading the charge for domestic manufacturing, quality craftsmanship, and life-changing wellness solutions. Already leading the category in national pharmacies, wellness, and medical retail channels, Skineez is setting a new standard in comfort, skincare, and clinically proven performance.

“We created this product so we could continue to do well by doing good,” said Michelle Moran, Founder of Skineez. “With EZ Comfort Reversibles, we’ve united innovation, skincare, and comfort in a way no other compression brand has-and we’re doing it while supporting American jobs and delivering real health benefits.”

Clinically Proven to Deliver Results
The EZ Comfort Reversible Compression socks are FDA-cleared and clinically proven to do more than just provide compression. In clinical testing:
- 80% of users reported softer, smoother skin after just one hour of wear
- 19% of users saw a measurable improvement in skin elasticity
Skineez has been tested and recommended by leading orthopedic surgeons and dermatologists for its ability to support circulation, reduce swelling, and improve overall skin health.

Infused with six skin-nourishing ingredients – including retinol, shea butter, and apricot kernel oil – Skineez socks hydrate and protect the skin while supporting circulation and healing. They are especially beneficial for individuals managing:
- Lymphedema
- Diabetes
- Neuropathy
- Poor circulation and swelling
- Pain relief
What Makes EZ Comfort™ Revolutionary
- First-of-its-Kind: The only reversible medical-grade compression sock on the market
- Two Looks in One: Classic black reverses to Midnight Navy, Deep Gray, or Mocha Brown
- Two-in-One Value: Two colors for the price of one – unmatched savings for consumers
- Infused with Skincare: Patented microencapsulation technology hydrates and softens skin
- Clinically Validated: Increases circulation, reduces swelling and pain
- Made in the USA: Designed, developed, and manufactured domestically
- Mission-Driven: Created by a woman-owned business to deliver value, comfort, and impact
- Retail-Proven: Leading the compression category at point of sale
From patients to healthcare workers, athletes to everyday wearers, Skineez EZ Comfort Reversible Compression Socks offers the value of two socks in one, the health benefits of a medical device, and the luxury of skincare in every step.

A Booming Market with Expanding Needs
The global compression therapy market is projected to surpass $6.5 billion by 2030, driven by rising rates of diabetes, chronic venous disorders, and an aging population. In the U.S. alone, tens of millions of people rely on compression garments daily-from post-surgical recovery and lymphedema to long shifts on their feet and circulation support while traveling.

Yet traditional compression wear is often tight, itchy, and drying to the skin, making long-term use uncomfortable. Skineez solves this problem through our patented microencapsulation technology, which infuses each garment with six skin-nourishing ingredients. The result? A garment so soft and hydrating, it feels like a second skin-combining therapeutic support with skincare comfort in every wear. As demand grows, consumers are seeking smarter solutions-and Skineez delivers.

Gladstone Land Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results

Please note that the limited information that follows in this press release is a summary and is not adequate for making an informed investment decision.

MCLEAN, VA / ACCESS Newswire / August 7, 2025 / Gladstone Land Corporation (Nasdaq:LAND) (“Gladstone Land” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the second quarter and year ended June 30, 2025. A description of funds from operations (“FFO”), core FFO (“CFFO”), and adjusted FFO (“AFFO”), all non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles in the United States) financial measures, appear at the end of this press release. All per-share references are to fully-diluted, weighted-average shares of common stock, unless noted otherwise. For further detail, please refer to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”), which is available on the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.GladstoneLand.com.

Second Quarter 2025 Activity:

Timing Shift in Earnings Recognition: For the 2025 crop year, we modified lease agreements on six of our farms by reducing or eliminating fixed base rent amounts and, in some cases, providing cash lease incentives to certain tenants in exchange for significantly increasing the participation rent components. Additionally, we are currently operating two properties (encompassing four farms) under management agreements with third-party operators. As a result of these changes, we expect revenues from fixed base rents to be significantly lower throughout the year, while participation rents are anticipated to be considerably higher. This shift will delay the timing of revenue recognition and increase our reliance on participation rents, which are typically recognized once crop results are known, generally in the fourth quarter. As such, the majority of our revenue and annual earnings for 2025 are expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter.
Portfolio Activity-Lease Activity: Executed four lease agreements expected to increase annual net operating income by approximately $166,000, or 9.3%, compared to the prior leases.
Debt Activity-Loan Refinancing: Secured a new $10.6 million loan bearing interest at 6.31% (fixed for three years), which was used to repay a $10.3 million maturing loan that bore interest at 3.85%.
Paid Distributions: Paid monthly cash distributions totaling $0.1401 per share of common stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Results:

Net loss for the quarter was approximately $7.9 million, compared to approximately $823,000 in the prior-year quarter. Net loss attributable to common stockholders during the quarter was approximately $13.9 million, or $0.38 per share, compared to approximately $6.7 million, or $0.19 per share, in the prior-year quarter. AFFO for the quarter was approximately $(3.5) million, or $(0.10) per share, compared to approximately $3.7 million, or $0.10 per share, in the prior-year quarter. Common stock dividends declared were approximately $0.14 per share for both periods.

Total cash lease revenues decreased, primarily due to a $6.8 million reduction in fixed base cash rents. This decrease was largely driven by modifications of certain lease agreements, as noted above, and ongoing vacancy and tenancy issues. Participation rents also decreased by approximately $975,000, primarily due to the accelerated recognition of certain revenue amounts in the prior year, as some information became available earlier than usual, enabling us to record those amounts in the first half of the year.

Excluding the second-quarter reversal of a capital gains fee earned during the first quarter of 2025, aggregate related-party fees decreased by approximately $67,000 during the current quarter, primarily due to a lower base management fee resulting from the sale of 19 farms since December 31, 2023. The capital gains fee is not payable until after the end of the fiscal year and is subject to further adjustment throughout the year if and when we dispose of additional assets. Excluding related-party fees, our remaining cash operating expenses decreased by approximately $135,000, primarily driven by a reduction in general and administrative expenses, particularly lower stockholder-related costs and reduced professional fees. This was partially offset by higher property operating expenses due to additional costs incurred to protect water rights on certain farms in California and elevated expenses related to farms that were vacant, direct-operated, or on non-accrual status, particularly increased property taxes. Interest expense decreased due to debt repayments made over the past year.

Cash flows from operations for the current quarter decreased by approximately $12.0 million compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily due to a reduction in cash received from fixed lease payments as a result of the lease modifications noted above, as well as lower cash collections from farms that were vacant, direct-operated, or on non-accrual status.

Subsequent to June 30, 2025:

Portfolio Activity-California Water Activity: Purchased 1,530 gross acre-feet of water at a total cost of approximately $583,000, or approximately $381 per gross acre-foot.
Debt Activity-Loan Repayments: Repaid a $10.4 million maturing bond that bore interest at a stated rate of 4.45%.
Third Quarter Distributions: Declared monthly cash distributions of $0.0467 per share of common stock for each of July, August, and September (totaling $0.1401 per share of common stock for the quarter).

Comments from David Gladstone, President and CEO of Gladstone Land: “With the approach we’ve taken on certain of our western permanent crop farms, our earnings for 2025 will be more dependent on participation rents than in prior years, with the large majority expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter. We believe this structure will be the most profitable arrangement for this specific group of farms for the 2025 crop year, supported by their history of high yields and strong crop insurance coverage. Market trends for pistachios and almonds, the crops to which we are most exposed within this group, appear to be mostly positive. Pistachio prices are holding steady amid strong demand, with the recently announced minimum price for the 2025 crop matching last year’s level, in line with our expectations. Almonds prices, after an initial dip following the release of the Almond Objective Forecast, have since rebounded somewhat and are currently 5% to 10% higher than they were at this time last year, and significantly above 2023 levels. We view these lease modifications as a temporary measure and continue to aim for a return to standard lease structures that include fixed base rents. If we are unable to reach satisfactory lease terms with tenants on these farms in the near future, we may also consider selling certain of these farms. In the meantime, we remain focused on enhancing long-term farm viability by pursuing opportunities to acquire additional water resources at below-market prices, further strengthening water security for our farms and growers. Our balance sheet remains in excellent condition, with nearly 100% of our outstanding debt held at fixed interest rates. We also continue to maintain strong liquidity, with over $150 million in immediately-available capital and more than $165 million in unencumbered properties that could be pledged as additional collateral, if needed.”

(1) Includes cash dividends paid on our cumulative redeemable preferred stock and the net gain recognized as a result of shares of cumulative redeemable preferred stock that were redeemed.
(2) Represents our pro-rata share of depreciation expense recorded in unconsolidated entities.
(3) Consists primarily of (i) net property and casualty losses (recoveries) recorded and the cost of related repairs expensed as a result of damage to improvements on certain of our farms caused by certain non-recurring events, (ii) one-time legal costs incurred related to certain corporate organizational matters, and (iii) the capital gains fee and subsequent adjustment recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2025, which is not due until after the end of the fiscal year and is subject to further adjustment throughout the remainder of the year.
(4) This adjustment removes the effects of straight-lining rental income, as well as the amortization related to above-market lease values and certain noncash lease incentives and accretion related to below-market lease values, deferred revenue, and tenant improvements, resulting in rental income reflected on a modified accrual cash basis. The effect to AFFO is that cash rents received pertaining to a lease year are normalized over that respective lease year on a straight-line basis, resulting in cash rent being recognized ratably over the period in which the cash rent is earned.
(5) Consists of (i) the net (gain) loss recognized as a result of shares of cumulative redeemable preferred stock that were redeemed, which were non-cash (gains) charges, (ii) our remaining pro-rata share of (income) loss recorded from investments in unconsolidated entities, and (iii) plus (less) net non-cash expense (income) recorded as a result of additional water assets used (received) in certain transactions.
(6) Consists of the initial acquisition price (including the costs allocated to both tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed), plus subsequent improvements and other capitalized costs associated with the properties, and adjusted for accumulated depreciation and amortization.
(7) Consists of the principal balances outstanding of all indebtedness, including our lines of credit, notes and bonds payable, and our Series D Term Preferred Stock.
(8) Based on farmable acreage; includes direct-operated farms.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

FFO: The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairment losses on property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company believes that FFO per share provides investors with an additional context for evaluating its financial performance and as a supplemental measure to compare it to other REITs; however, comparisons of its FFO to the FFO of other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to potential differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such other REITs.

CFFO: CFFO is FFO, adjusted for items that are not indicative of the results provided by the Company’s operating portfolio and affect the comparability of the Company’s period-over-period performance. These items include certain non-recurring items, such as acquisition- and disposition-related expenses, the net incremental impact of operations conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiary, income tax provisions, and property and casualty losses or recoveries. Although the Company’s calculation of CFFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs, the Company believes it is a meaningful supplemental measure of its sustainable operating performance. Accordingly, CFFO should be considered a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. For a full explanation of the adjustments made to arrive at CFFO, please read the Form 10-Q, filed today with the SEC.

AFFO: AFFO is CFFO, adjusted for certain non-cash items, such as the straight-lining of rents and amortizations into or against rental income (resulting in cash rent being recognized ratably over the period in which the cash rent is earned). Although the Company’s calculation of AFFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs, the Company believes it is a meaningful supplemental measure of its sustainable operating performance on a cash basis. Accordingly, AFFO should be considered a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. For a full explanation of the adjustments made to arrive at AFFO, please read the Form 10-Q, filed today with the SEC.

A reconciliation of FFO (as defined by NAREIT), CFFO, and AFFO (each as defined above) to net income (loss), which the Company believes is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure for each, and a computation of fully-diluted net income (loss), FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per weighted-average share is set forth in the Quarterly Summary Information table above. The Company’s presentation of FFO, CFFO, or AFFO, does not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of its performance or to cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions.

CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

Certain statements in this press release, including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to maintain or grow its portfolio and FFO, expected increases in capitalization rates, benefits from increases in farmland values, increases in operating revenues, and the increase in NAV per share, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements inherently involve certain risks and uncertainties, although they are based on the Company’s current plans that are believed to be reasonable as of the date of this press release. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to procure financing for investments, downturns in the current economic environment, the performance of its tenants, the impact of competition on its efforts to renew existing leases or re-lease real property, and significant changes in interest rates. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated or implied by its forward-looking statements are disclosed under the caption “Risk Factors” within the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 19, 2025, and certain other documents filed with the SEC from time to time. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

This milestone is part of a broader success story: 973 Axopar boats have been sold, with an additional 39 under contract, for a total of 1,012 units delivered or committed through Nautical Ventures since the brand’s entry into the U.S. market. Nautical Ventures is the #1 Axopar dealer in the world by total units sold over the years. To honor this achievement, Nautical Ventures will formally recognize Jordan’s accomplishment with a company award, celebrating both individual excellence and the dealership’s broader retail execution strategy.

“Jordan represents the best of what Nautical Ventures brings to the American marine market: professionalism, consistency, and a genuine understanding of evolving consumer demand,” said Roger Moore, Founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Nautical Ventures. “His success with Axopar reflects a rare combination of product expertise and client trust-and it’s exactly the kind of execution we are scaling across our platform.”

“Reaching this milestone has been incredibly meaningful to me,” said Jordan Thomas Nurse, Yacht Broker at Nautical Ventures. “Selling my 100th Axopar represents years of dedication, deep product knowledge, and-most importantly-the trust placed in me by my clients. While Axopar’s innovation and performance speak for themselves, it’s the relationships I’ve built that make this journey so rewarding. I’m deeply thankful to my clients, colleagues, and the entire Nautical Ventures family for their continued support-as well as to my wife for her patience during the long hours and late calls. I also want to express my appreciation to our outstanding service team and to Diego Conti, whose mentorship has been instrumental in my career.”

Designed and manufactured in Finland, Axopar boats are known for their striking Scandinavian aesthetic, modular configurations, and sporty performance. They have emerged as a dominant force in the adventure boat segment-taking market share from traditional center consoles and cruisers, particularly among consumers looking for lifestyle versatility and innovative design.

Through high-impact retail execution, immersive demo events, and long-term client servicing, Nautical Ventures helped transform Axopar from an emerging European brand into a category leader in the U.S.

Silverback AI Chatbot Enhances Business Automation With Intelligent Multi-Step AI Agents

Silverback AI Chatbot has announced the expansion of its platform with a refined version of its AI Agents framework, marking another step toward scalable, intelligent automation for businesses. This system, which emphasizes context-aware autonomy and task continuity, is aimed at redefining how small and mid-sized companies approach digital interaction, workflow management, and customer engagement.

As automation technologies evolve to meet modern enterprise demands, the emergence of agentic AI. AI systems capable of executing goal-oriented tasks independently has become increasingly relevant. Silverback’s AI Agents stand out in this context by enabling structured decision-making and persistent multi-channel interactions without requiring live human intervention during each interaction cycle.

The AI Agents system has been developed to perform business functions that typically rely on human coordination. These include scheduling, lead qualification, CRM updates, user segmentation, customer follow-ups, and more. What differentiates Silverback’s model is its architectural design: a hybrid integration of large language models, memory systems, third-party application APIs, and task execution modules. This architecture allows agents to understand context, reference past interactions, and adapt their behavior to meet specific business-defined outcomes.

Unlike traditional chatbot systems that rely on reactive scripts and limited branching logic, the agents in Silverback’s system operate with an expanded sense of continuity. Once deployed, an AI Agent can interact with a user over an extended period across hours or days resuming tasks where they were left off, tracking progress, and resolving queries or actions based on evolving context. These agents can simultaneously support communication through websites, chat platforms, or other integrated channels, offering consistent task execution without duplicating interactions or losing user history.

The system is being positioned as an adaptable solution for businesses that may lack the internal resources to develop their own AI infrastructure. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all assistant, Silverback has designed the agents to be configurable across various industries and operational needs. Users can define the agent’s objectives, adjust behavioral parameters, and integrate with third-party systems, all through a no-code or low-code interface.

In terms of practical use cases, businesses in real estate, e-commerce, healthcare, and professional services have all been identified as early adopters of this model. For example, a property management company might deploy an AI Agent to qualify tenant leads, collect application data, and initiate document workflows. An e-commerce brand might implement agents that answer product-related inquiries, generate order updates, or facilitate return requests. In all cases, the goal is to replicate high-frequency, structured interactions in a way that scales without compromising on personalization or accuracy.

A foundational principle of the AI Agents system is task persistence. Unlike isolated chatbot sessions that reset once a user exits a conversation window, Silverback’s agents maintain state across multiple touchpoints and over time. They are capable of re-engaging a user with updated information, continuing ongoing workflows, or checking in on task progress. This enables a new class of applications where agents can manage tasks that are not completed in a single sitting but require iterative user input or follow-up interactions.

Data security and compliance have also been integrated into the platform’s design. Silverback’s infrastructure includes safeguards to ensure that AI interactions align with applicable privacy laws and data governance standards. Inputs from customers are encrypted and processed within access-controlled environments, while businesses can audit agent actions through activity logs and performance dashboards.

In addition to the operational capabilities, the system includes performance review and optimization tools. Agents collect and generate data on key metrics such as engagement quality, task resolution rates, and customer satisfaction. These metrics can be reviewed to improve task flows and refine agent logic over time. Through this feedback loop, agents become more efficient as they encounter more varied real-world use cases.

According to Silverback’s internal development team, a long-term goal of the AI Agents framework is to support both external and internal business operations. While the current focus remains on client-facing functions such as lead engagement and customer service, future expansions may include support for internal teams. Examples could include onboarding workflows in HR, internal IT support, or sales enablement through automated data retrieval.

The introduction of AI Agents comes at a time when businesses are facing increasing pressure to deliver consistent user experiences across digital platforms while managing leaner operational models. Agent-based systems offer a way to extend business capacity without proportionally increasing headcount or infrastructure costs. As remote and hybrid work models continue to shape operational strategies, AI systems capable of operating with minimal oversight are expected to play a growing role in enterprise technology stacks.

Silverback has also released an accompanying set of resources to assist users in understanding, deploying, and configuring the AI Agents system. These include documentation, onboarding guides, workflow templates, and access to technical support. The materials are designed to bridge the gap between AI capabilities and business accessibility, ensuring that non-technical stakeholders can leverage the system effectively.

The expansion of the AI Agents feature reflects broader shifts in the AI industry—from reactive assistance models to proactive, goal-completion systems. Analysts in the space have noted the growing demand for AI tools that can handle end-to-end workflows with minimal input and maximum context retention. Silverback’s agents are being positioned within this new category of operational intelligence, where the value lies not in simply answering queries but in driving measurable outcomes through autonomous process execution.

Silverback continues to monitor feedback from users as the system is adopted across different verticals. With planned iterations and broader API compatibility on the development roadmap, the company aims to expand both the technical depth and business versatility of its AI Agent framework in the coming quarters.
