AI on Deck and a Power Partner in Sight, MDCE Charts a New Trajectory

Yahoo06-05-2025
MESA, Ariz., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Care Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK: MDCE), a dynamic company in the memorabilia space, announced today its intent to potentially align its innovative AI-powered subsidiary, Real Game Used sales division, with an industry-leading auction house. Most of the top collectibles auction houses boast between $100M to $1B annually in public auction sales. This partnership is designed to leverage our established client base, with a larger international brand, potentially accelerating MDCE's growth trajectory, by enhancing revenue opportunities, and reducing operational overhead.
Real Game Used is an Industry Leader in Memorabilia Authentication
As part of this focused growth strategy, MDCE will pause direct scaling efforts for its auction subsidiary, Infinite Auctions, in favor of more synergistic, high-return opportunities through strategic industry alliances.
"We believe the fastest path to national and international scale lies in elite partnerships," said Marshall Perkins III, CEO of MDCE. "Rather than build a parallel auction operation, we are seeking to join forces with a high-performing auction house that shares our vision and standards of excellence."
The move comes as MDCE's other subsidiary, Real Game Used (www.realgameused.com), successfully launched a new sales and referral division aimed at turning industry competitors into collaborators. Additionally, the company is preparing a patent application for its proprietary AI authentication technology, expected to be a game-changing innovation in memorabilia validation.
As MDCE awaits confirmation from FINRA on its pending name and ticker change, these initiatives mark a significant step forward in repositioning the company as a technology-enabled, partnership-driven leader in the collectibles industry.

Summit Bank Group, Inc. Reports 2025 2 nd Quarter Earnings

EUGENE, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Summit Bank Group, Inc. (OTC Pink: SBKO) (the 'Company'), the holding company for Summit Bank (the 'Bank'), reported the following: The Bank has achieved symmetrical balance sheet growth over the last twelve months with $86 million added to loans and $80 million added to deposits. Additionally, the quality and mix of deposits has improved over the same period. Share Q2 2025 Net Income - $3.33 million or $0.42 per fully diluted share, an increase of 22.1 percent over Q2 2024. 2025 Year to Date Net Income - $6.25 million or $0.80 per fully diluted share, an increase of 21.3 percent over similar period in 2024. Cash and Securities totaled $131.6 million - 10.5 percent of assets and increased 7.9 percent over June 30, 2024. Year over year Net Loan Growth - $86.1 million or 8.4 percent. Year over year Deposit Growth - $80.1 million or 7.8 percent. Q2 2025 Net Interest Income increased $1.77 million or 14.5 percent over Q2 2024. Summit Bank Group reported net income for the second quarter of $3.33 million or 42 cents per fully diluted share. Comparable earnings for second quarter of 2024 were $2.70 million, or 35 cents per fully diluted share, representing an increase of 22.1 percent to earnings per fully diluted share. An increase in net interest income of $1.77 million, or 14.5 percent, concurrent with an increase in noninterest expense of only $698 thousand were the primary drivers of the growth in earnings. The increase in net interest income was the result of continued strong loan growth across all markets year over year. The Bank continues to maintain a strong liquidity position with cash and available for sale short-term securities totaling $131.6 million, which represents 10.5 percent of total assets as of June 30, 2025, compared to $122 million, or 10.6 percent of total assets, as of June 30, 2024. The Bank maintains secured borrowing commitments from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank with total available borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2025, of $323 million, or 25.9 percent of total assets. Combined, the Bank's cash and available secured borrowing as of June 30, 2025 totaled $413 million, which equaled 33.1 percent of total assets and 108.0 percent of total estimated uninsured deposits. This total has increased from $391 million one year ago, which equaled 34.0 percent of total assets. The Bank has achieved symmetrical balance sheet growth over the last twelve months with $86 million added to loans and $80 million added to deposits. Additionally, the quality and mix of deposits has improved over the same period; reducing time certificates of deposit from 13.7 percent of total deposits to 2.6 percent currently. 'Our second quarter results reflect the strength of our relationship-based approach to banking. The continued growth of core deposits is not only a sign of the financial strength and growth of our clients but is also a testament to the number of new locally-owned businesses, professional firms and non-profit entities choosing to move their full banking relationship to us in all three of our markets,' said Craig Wanichek, President and CEO. Return on average equity over the trailing four quarters has improved for the fifth consecutive quarter, at 11.5 percent for both the current quarter and the trailing four quarters. Total shareholders' equity ended the second quarter at $115.8 million, an increase of $14.3 million or 14.1 percent since June 30, 2024. As the Company continues its 22 nd year of operations, capital levels remain very strong, supporting consistent asset growth with similarly strong retained earnings, which have totaled $56.6 million over the last five years. Total non-performing assets as of June 30, 2025, which continued to decline as a percentage of total assets, decreased to just 0.04 percent following 0.20 percent as of December 31, 2024 and 0.10 percent as of March 31, 2025. In November 2024, the Company announced the Board's authorization to repurchase shares of its common stock up to a maximum total volume of $1.0 million. 'Our share repurchase program remains open, and we continue to be active in the market, reflecting our confidence in the Company's long-term value and commitment to enhancing shareholder returns,' said Craig Wanichek, President and CEO. Summit Bank Group Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary Summit Bank, maintains offices in Eugene, Central Oregon, and Portland, specializing in providing high-level service to professionals and medium-sized businesses and their owners.

Asset-Backed ESG Commodity Platform Aligned with Institutional Strategies

Santana Equestrian Private Financial, Inc. (OTC PINK:SEQP) Achieves OTCID™ Compliance and Showcases Santana Equestrian Private Financial, Inc. ('SEQP') has confirmed its compliance with OTCID™ Basic Market reporting standards and outlined a strategic expansion designed to bridge physical commodity operations with financial market opportunities. The Company's latest initiatives emphasize asset-backed scalability, ESG-linked cash flows, and institutional-grade risk management – positioning SEQP as a physical-to-financial infrastructure bridge in the sustainable commodities sector. OTCID™ Basic Market Compliance – SEQP met all requirements under OTC Markets Group's new OTCID Basic tier as of July 1, 2025, including a verified corporate profile, management certification, news service subscription, transfer agent verification, and timely disclosure commitments. This ensures full transparency and active engagement with U.S. regulators and investors, preventing any downgrade to limited trading tiers. Regulatory Tailwind (Florida HB 211) – A new Florida law (HB 211) effective July 1, 2025 expands the definition of 'farm product' to include biomass – such as plant, animal, and equine waste – and prohibits local restrictions on those farm operations. This legal clarity enables SEQP to process equine and yard biomass on-site as an agricultural activity, providing a significant operational advantage. Integrated ESG Revenue Streams – SEQP is leveraging HB 211 by expanding into two synergistic divisions that convert waste and land into value: on-site equestrian biomass processing and distressed farmland reclamation. Together, these create a multi-asset commodity risk platform linking physical infrastructure (collection systems, land assets) with financial outputs (carbon credits, land appreciation), yielding scalable ESG-linked revenue streams. New Revenue Potential – By bridging real assets with environmental commodities, SEQP projects substantial new cash flows. Voluntary carbon credits priced at ~$10-$30/ton could generate $1-$3 million in annual revenue within 18 months . Improved soil output and land remediation are expected to drive 15-25% ROI through land-value uplift, while on-site processing provides 20-40% logistics cost reduction and additional income from organic soil amendments. Institutional Alignment – SEQP's physical-to-financial commodity platform is built for prudent risk management and asset-backed growth, mirroring the frameworks of leading commodity finance institutions. The Company's diversified, scalable ESG revenue stream – from carbon credits to rehabilitated land assets – positions it as a unique strategic fit for multi-asset trading platforms seeking sustainable commodity exposure. OTCID™ Basic Market Compliance Achieved SEQP today announced that it has successfully filed its OTCID Basic Market compliance package via OTCIQ, with effectiveness on July 1, 2025. This significant corporate action confirms that SEQP meets all baseline requirements of the OTC Markets' new disclosure tier. The company's profile is verified, management certifications are in place, news dissemination is active, and its transfer agent participates in the verified share program. SEQP is committed to timely quarterly and annual reports, corporate action notices, and insider disclosures, ensuring ongoing transparency. Maintaining these standards prevents any risk of downgrade to Pink Limited or Expert Market status and underscores SEQP's dedication to robust governance and investor engagement. 'Achieving OTCID compliance provides a strong foundation of credibility as we scale our business,' said Paulo Santana, CEO & Founder of SEQP. 'It signals to the market that we operate with full transparency and regulatory engagement, which is essential as we attract broader institutional interest.' Strategic Expansion: Physical-to-Financial Commodity Platform & ESG Revenue Streams With the tailwind of Florida House Bill 211 – which, as of July 1, 2025, classifies biomass (including equestrian waste) as a farm product and bars local restrictions on its processing – SEQP is launching an expanded business model converting agricultural byproducts and land assets into monetizable commodities. The Company's strategy centers on two primary divisions: On-Site Biomass Processing Division: Deploying modular biomass collection and composting systems directly at large equestrian venues. This on-location infrastructure is anticipated to cut waste transport costs by 20-40%, significantly lower carbon emissions, and produce high-quality compost. Importantly, processing manure and green waste at the source positions SEQP to generate voluntary carbon credits for emissions avoided, creating a direct revenue link from physical operations to environmental markets. This on-site model not only improves logistics efficiency but also reduces operational risk by localizing the supply chain (no reliance on distant landfills), while yielding tradable carbon assets. Distressed Ag-Property Division: Acquiring underutilized or degraded rural parcels and rehabilitating them using SEQP's proprietary BioActivium™ soil amendments. By improving soil carbon content and ecosystem health, these projects qualify for carbon sequestration credits under established registries like Verra and ACR. Each rehabilitated property becomes a productive agricultural asset with enhanced value and sustainable output. This approach effectively monetizes carbon and land in tandem: SEQP earns carbon credits for the verified greenhouse gas reductions, and the land itself appreciates (through higher fertility and utility), which can be leveraged for resale, refinancing, or crop revenue. Through these dual initiatives, SEQP is transforming from a niche equine waste processor into a broad-based agritech and ESG enterprise. By integrating physical commodity infrastructure with financial instruments, the Company has established a bridge between on-the-ground operations and capital markets. Manure, stable bedding, and marginal farmland – traditionally seen as waste or low-value – are being converted into multi-dimensional assets. Specifically, physical outputs (such as compost and improved land yields) are coupled with intangible credits (carbon offsets and renewable energy attributes), all within one vertically integrated platform. This integrated model functions as a multi-asset commodity risk platform internally: SEQP manages diverse but complementary asset classes (fertilizer inputs, real estate, carbon credits) under a unified strategy. The result is a balanced revenue portfolio that can hedge and offset risks – for example, carbon credit sales provide income independent of commodity crop prices, and land value gains provide underlying asset strength to counter market volatility. The physical-to-financial infrastructure that SEQP has built ensures that every operational improvement (physical) has a parallel financial realization, whether in the form of cost savings, credits, or asset appreciation. Financial Highlights of the ESG Platform: Key metrics illustrate the scalability and economic potential of SEQP's strategy: Logistics Savings: On-site processing yields a 20-40% reduction in freight and disposal costs , directly improving margins and minimizing the carbon footprint of waste transport. Carbon Credit Pipeline: Each ton of biomass processed can translate into marketable carbon credits (voluntary market rates ~$10-$30/ton) – SEQP is targeting $1-$3 million in annual carbon credit sales within 18 months as projects scale. These credits provide a scalable ESG revenue stream with low correlation to traditional agricultural income. Land-Value Leverage: Reclaimed farms are expected to see 15-25% increases in land value (ROI) after soil restoration . This land-value leverage not only boosts SEQP's asset base but can also support additional financing (using higher-value land as collateral) to fuel further growth. Product Diversification: The proprietary organic soil amendments produced (branded as Activium™) create a new product line and revenue source. These adjacent financial opportunities – from selling soil enhancement products to potentially securitizing future carbon credit streams – add layers of value to SEQP's portfolio beyond core operations. Asset-Backed Scalability and Institutional Alignment SEQP's growth model is deliberately built on asset-backed scalability. Each new equestrian site outfitted with an on-site unit and each acre of land restored add tangible assets and cash flow to the Company's balance sheet. This means expansion is underpinned by real collateral – physical equipment, land holdings, and verified carbon credits – rather than speculative ventures. Such an approach offers inherent stability and risk-efficient growth: assets on the ground support the enterprise value, and the diversified revenue streams (savings, sales, credits, and land appreciation) provide multiple buffers against single-market volatility. Crucially, SEQP's integrated commodity platform is aligned with the operational ethos of large-scale commodity and financial firms. By bridging physical operations with financial products, SEQP mirrors how institutional commodity desks operate – aggregating and converting raw inputs into tradeable outputs and managing risk across the value chain. The Company's emphasis on prudent risk management and compliance further strengthens this alignment. Every expansion initiative undergoes rigorous evaluation for regulatory compliance (from environmental permits to HB 211 adherence) and market viability, ensuring that growth is both aggressive and disciplined. This alignment positions SEQP as a potential strategic partner within the broader commodity finance ecosystem. The multi-asset profile of SEQP – encompassing elements of agriculture (land & soil), energy (biomass fuel potential), and environmental markets (carbon credits) – offers a microcosm of the diversified platforms run by global trading firms. Management believes that SEQP's scalable ESG revenue streams, supported by hard assets and verified data, could seamlessly integrate into a larger multi-asset commodity risk platform. In effect, SEQP functions as a physical-to-financial infrastructure bridge, translating grassroots sustainable practices into institutional-grade financial performance indicators. This makes the Company's model attractive for cross-industry collaboration, whether through offtake agreements, joint ventures, or integration with a Fortune-100 commodity network. Paulo Santana, CEO & Founder of SEQP, emphasized the strategic significance of this approach in the context of industry trends: 'Thanks to Florida's HB 211, SEQP can now legally process equine and yard biomass at source – an advance that not only reduces costs by up to 40%, but also positions us to generate carbon credits,' said Santana. 'This regulatory clarity accelerates our on-site deployment and directly contributes to new ESG-linked cash flows from previously untapped waste resources.' 'Expanding into distressed ag-property acquisition and soil restoration transforms SEQP from a niche biomass processor into a scalable agritech and ESG powerhouse,' Santana continued. 'In doing so, we have effectively built a platform that bridges physical commodity infrastructure with financial market value – a model where manure and marginal land are converted into tradeable credits and appreciating assets. This is exactly the kind of physical-to-financial integration that major commodity firms use to unlock value across markets.' 'We're entering an imminent growth phase, supported by legislative clarity, diversified revenue streams, and tangible ESG impact,' added Santana. 'Our strategy remains aggressive in scaling operations yet disciplined in risk management and compliance, aligning with the prudent frameworks of institutional players. We are committed to delivering asset-backed, scalable results that can stand alongside those of established commodity finance platforms.' Risk & Forward-Looking Statements SEQP reminds investors that certain statements in this announcement are forward-looking and involve known and unknown risks. Actual results could differ materially due to factors such as: Regulatory Risk: Future changes to laws like HB 211 or carbon credit policies could impact SEQP's operations and expansion plans. Market Risk: Fluctuations in carbon credit pricing and agricultural commodity markets may affect revenue projections and project economics.

Nano One Selected to Join U.S. ALTA and Strengthen North American Battery Supply Chain

Highlights Nano One selected for launch of ALTA, America's first lithium and battery supply chain OBBB-ready solution for LFP-linking upstream critical minerals to downstream cell chokepoints and reliance on foreign-controlled processes, inputs and wasteful One begins trading on US listing (OTCQB: NNOMF) to enhance investor base. VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / July 15, 2025 / (TSX:NANO)(OTC PINK:NNOMF)(Frankfurt:LBMB) Nano One® Materials Corp. ("Nano One" or the "Company"), a process technology company specializing in lithium-ion battery cathode active materials (CAM), has been selected to join the Arkansas Lithium Technology Accelerator (ALTA), America's first lithium and battery supply chain accelerator, to help catalyze a durable, domestic battery materials ecosystem and reduce foreign dependency on critical technology and inputs."Participating in ALTA positions Nano One as a strategic contributor to lithium-ion battery supply chain independence," said Dan Blondal, CEO of Nano One. "We are the only OBBB-ready solution for LFP-linking upstream mineral extraction to downstream cell manufacturing. Without localized cathode production in the supply chain, critical minerals risk being sent offshore for processing or worse yet, idled while U.S. battery plants source elsewhere. Our One-Pot™ process eliminates chokepoints and reliance on foreign-controlled inputs, processing technologies, wastewater and byproducts that will not scale here. Purpose-built for North America, it vertically integrates PCAM with CAM-cutting costs, reducing permitting barriers, and unlocking a scalable, modular platform at the core of the lithium-ion battery ecosystem." Image: Simplified Lithium-ion battery supply chain. This milestone reinforces Nano One's position as a national strategic asset in lithium-ion battery production- fortifying a secure, localized supply chain for defense and commercial markets. It also highlights Nano One's continued relevance to energy growth and national security, bolstered by recent funding of US$12.9 million from the U.S. Department of Defense. Nano One's Candiac facility, in Québec, is scaling operations towards initial sales for defense and energy storage, while supporting licensing and joint venture efforts to address high-volume markets for AI data centers and electric vehicles. Arkansas' bold yet achievable supply chain goals align with Nano One's multi-jurisdictional strategy, leveraging Candiac as a hub, accelerator and launchpad for validation, commercialization, and large-scale growth in the US, Canada and beyond. These efforts are anchored by Nano One's Innovation Centre in Burnaby, which supports process development, scale-up, regional deployment, and long-term competitiveness. "We're thrilled to have Nano One join the ALTA program. Their One-Pot LFP technology represents the kind of breakthrough innovation that supports the national goal of reshoring supply chains. It's a strong fit for Arkansas' rapidly growing lithium ecosystem," said Arthur Orduña, executive director of The Venture Center. Nano One is one of only three companies selected for ALTA's inaugural cohort, alongside innovators in lithium processing and geothermal deployment. The accelerator is backed by Standard Lithium, the Walton Family Foundation, and a network of Arkansas-based producers, academic institutions, and government partners. Participation in ALTA creates opportunities for partnerships and strategic visibility in the U.S., while enabling shared learnings with other innovative North American supply chain leaders of tomorrow and established players looking to support localization of the lithium-ion battery supply chain. To capitalize on this momentum, Nano One began trading on the U.S. OTCQB under the ticker NNOMF on July 14, enhancing visibility and accessibility to U.S. investors as it expands commercial efforts and builds partnerships across North America. Momentum is further supported by policy shifts like the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), which proposes tighter domestic content requirements and phases out incentives tied to foreign inputs. With CAM representing the highest cost component in a cell, Nano One's One-Pot™ process provides a path to resilient, cost competitive, and fully domestic manufacturing. ### About Nano One®Nano One® Materials Corp.
