花房集團復牌命懸一線

香港, 2024年10月2日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 擁有直播平台花椒和六間房的花房集團（03611）即將觸發香港證券交易退市政策紅線，若公司連續停牌18個月，將被視為自願退市。花房集團自2023年4月因被投資公司調查而停牌以來，已達17個月。停牌期間花房集團的業務並未受影響，2024年半年報顯示，集團期內總收益為9.65億元（人民幣，下同），股東應佔溢利3448.9萬元，同比大增105%。其中海外社交網絡收益更是同比增長9.8%至1.39億元。目前花房集團已向港交所提交復牌文件，若通過港交所審核，花房集團將成為今年第一個實現自救，成功復牌的停牌上市公司。2022年12月12日花房集團正式登陸香港聯合交易所。（資料圖片）根據港交所最新數據顯示，截至7月31日，2024年除牌公司25家，已獲上市委員會批准的除牌公司6家，還有高達79家上市公司處於長期停牌狀態。仔細分析被除牌的25家上市公司，有幾個特徵：一是市值較小，二是大部分屬於消費行業，且無實質性經營業務，沒有足夠的業績支撐其上市地位，有「養殼」之嫌。與很多停牌上市公司業務「擺爛」不同，花房集團在眾多停牌公司中顯然是個異類。8月26日花房集團公布2024年中期業績報告顯示，報告期內，花房集團國內直播及音頻社交網絡業務收益達8.13億元。雖然受停牌影響業務有所下滑，但花椒和六間房在直播平台市場的佔有率一直靠前。記者打開花椒直播和六間房網，均能正常觀看直播。在六間房網的「關於我們」介紹裏表示，六間房是首批文化部授權的「網絡演出試點單位」之一，總註冊用戶已達6000萬，網站擁有簽約藝人25萬，日演藝總時長超過5萬小時。與此同時，花房集團海外社交業務展現出強勁的增長勢頭。中報顯示，花房集團海外社交網絡收益同比增長9.8%至1.39億元，其中海外社交業務的HOLLA Group上半年收益達1.5億元，規模暫不及內地直播業務，但其除稅前可呈報部分利潤達4231.3萬元，相較於集團業務總和的7109.7萬元，佔比高達59.5%。花房集團認為，這一增長主要得益於集團海外業務對其核心市場如北市場的精準定位，以及旗下HOLLA、MONKEY等產品在全球範圍內的用戶規模擴張。記者進入Google市場看到，旗下專注於北美市場的視頻社交軟件MONKEY下載量已達1000萬以上，頗受美國年輕人喜歡。值得留意的是，截至2024年6月30日，花房集團的現金及現金等價物約為人民幣19.3億元，現金流可謂充裕。今年5月花房集團收到港交所復牌指引，7月2日，花房集團再次發布公告表示，將向聯交所遞交經更新復牌建議書，以證明本公司已達成復牌指引所載有關恢復本公司股份買賣的條件。花房集團可謂含着「金湯匙」出生，互聯網「紅衣教主」周鴻禕作為花房集團的實際控制人通過奇虎360、花椒壹號及花椒貳號控制花房集團約36.46%的股權。花房集團的第二大股東是宋城演藝，通過其全資附屬公司Global Bacchus Limited持股花房集團約35.35%的股權。受經濟大環境影響，花房集團兩大股東的日子並不好過，周鴻禕擔任董事長三六零安全科技股份有限公司剛發布的2024年中報顯示，上半年凈現金流為-67.45億元，同比下滑518.03%。受花房集團停牌影響，宋城演藝甚至已經在2023年財報中計提了巨額的長期股權投資減值準備，導致公司凈利潤出現虧損。2024年中報顯示，宋城演藝凈現金流為2.66億元。兩大股東的現金流都不如花房集團19.3億元充裕。表面上看，如果花房集團退市，那麼周鴻禕和宋城演藝兩大股東將蒙受極大損失。可是在花房集團擁有19.3億元現金的情況下，如果退市，兩大股東或成最大贏家。一旦啟動退市流程，不論是私有化還是徹底退市，周鴻禕和宋城演藝兩大股東都將掌握着19.3億元現金的分配權，花房集團現金被分配後，料將極大緩解兩大股東的現金流問題，特別是對周鴻禕而言，一旦獲得花房集團的現金流，將極大地改善其財務狀況。對於中小投資者而言，最不願看到的結果是花房集團退市，被鎖定了18個月流動性的資金或將一無所獲，由於退市涉及清盤等複雜程序，想要拿回投資款同樣要經過複雜的法律程序，對於何時能夠拿回投資款以及能否拿回投資款都存在極大的不確定性。如今，花房集團已經站在了能否復盤的十字路口，如果在港交所最後期限花房集團遞交文件無法通過審核，花房集團將不得不面臨私有化或者退市風險，那麼對中小股東而言都是最壞的結果。目前，花房集團還在等待港交所最後的審核結果，對於有真實業務有現金流積極爭取復盤的停牌上市公司，交易所在復牌審核上也應該有新的標準，不該像對待「殭屍」上市公司那樣「一刀切」，讓其一退了之。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

NEFECON Included in 2024 KDIGO Clinical Practice Guidelines

HONG KONG, Oct 2, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Recently, Everest Medicines has announced another positive development. The company’s lead product, NEFECON, as the only in-disease IgA nephropathy (IgAN) treatment, has been included in the “KDIGO 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management Of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN) and Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis (IgAV) (Public Review Draft)” (hereinafter referred to as the “New Guidelines (Draft)”), recommending treatment with a 9-month course of NEFECON for patients who are at risk of progressive kidney function loss with IgAN (2B). This significant milestone further solidifies Everest Medicines' leadership in the treatment of IgAN and brings new hope to IgAN patients worldwide.NEFECON Ushering in a New Era of Standardized Treatment of IgA NephropathyAccording to the New Guidelines, NEFECON is the only treatment to date proven to reduce levels of pathogenic forms of IgA and IgA immune complexes. The inclusion of NEFECON in the New Guidelines Draft solidifies NEFECON as the first-line cornerstone in the treatment of IgAN, ushering in a new era of standardized treatment. With the imminent release of China’s first-ever IgAN guidelines, NEFECON is expected to be recommended as the first-line treatment for IgAN patients at risk of disease progression, further reinforcing its pivotal role in clinical practice.According to Everest Medicines’ recent financial reports, NEFECON has generated RMB 167.3 million in sales revenue just over a month after its commercial launch and first prescription in mainland China in May 2024, demonstrating strong market demand. NEFECON has been commercially launched in mainland China, Macau, and Singapore, and has also been approved in Hong Kong. The New Drug Application (NDA) of NEFECON has been accepted in South Korea, signaling steady progress in global commercialization.In the second half of 2024, Everest Medicines will continue to promote the sales of NEFECON in mainland China and other regions in the Asia-Pacific, while actively participating in China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) negotiations to further enhance the affordability and accessibility. It is expected that 2025 will be a breakout year for NEFECON sales, with promising potential for the future.Core Products Performing Strongly, Differentiated Pipeline Further RefinedAccording to Everest Medicines’ interim results for the first half of 2024, the company’s total revenue reached RMB 301.5 million, marking a significant growth of 158% compared to the second half of 2023, and achieved commercial level profitability. The commercial launch of NEFECON has been a key driver behind this revenue growth. In addition, XERAVA (eravacycline), the world’s first-in-class fluorocycline antibiotic, also performed exceptionally well, generating RMB 134.2 million in sales in the first half of 2024. As the availability of XERAVA expands to reach more patients, its revenue is expected to grow further.Within the autoimmune disease portfolio, the lead product VELSIPITY (etrasimod) has been approved in Macau and Singapore, with plans to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) in mainland China and Hong Kong in the second half of 2024, alongside a commercial launch in Macau. Everest Medicines is expected to have three commercialized products by the end of 2024, further refining its differentiated pipeline development and driving the company into a new phase of growth.In terms of innovative R&D, Everest Medicines owns a proprietary mRNA development platform with full intellectual property and global rights, focusing on developing both preventive and therapeutic self-developed mRNA products. In August 2024, Everest announced the launch of the first-in-human Investigator-Initiated Clinical Trial (IIT) for EVM16, a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine program. Everest Medicines is anticipated to submit investigational new drug applications in the United States and China in 2025 for EVM14, a Tumor-Associated Antigens (TAA) cancer vaccine program.In addition, EVER001, a next-generation covalent reversible BTK inhibitor, with global rights, is under development for the treatment of renal diseases worldwide. The company is expected to announce the topline results of its Phase 1b study in membranous nephropathy in the second half of 2024.With the company’s dual-engine strategy of in-house discovery and global in-licensing, Everest Medicines continues to expand its product pipeline and drive business growth. The company maintains its revenue guidance of RMB 700 million for 2024 and remains confident in achieving cash flow break-even by the end of 2025.With NEFECON being included in multiple authoritative domestic and international treatment guidelines, along with the ongoing R&D and promotion of numerous core products. Everest Medicines has once again demonstrated its leading position in the global biopharmaceutical field. Armed with its robust pipeline and continuous innovative R&D capabilities, the company is steadily advancing towards becoming a top-tier player in the global pharmaceutical industry.

Doubleview Provides Exploration Update at the Hat Polymetallic Mineral Deposit, 2024 Drilling Now Exceeds 7,500 m

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 1, 2024) - Doubleview (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the 2024 drilling program at the Hat polymetallic mineral deposit, located in Northern British Columbia, has now surpassed 7,500 meters and is continuing. The company anticipates receiving the first assay results of the 2024 drilling season in the very near future. The drilling program will expand the mineral resource, infill areas with limited drill data, and extend the lateral and depth boundaries of the existing resource envelope, which remains open in all directions and at depth.The 2024 drill targets recognize the mineral resource block model from the recently completed Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) and will increase the mineral resource and upgrade the confidence level of the resource categories. The drilling has met expectations, with visual results aligning with and confirming the block model's projections. The Hat deposit hosts several critical minerals as defined in the Canadian Critical Minerals Strategy, including copper, cobalt and, potentially, scandium, and possibly others.Farshad Shirvani, president & CEO of Doubleview, commented, "Year by year, the size of the Hat deposit has been increased by very targeted drilling, bringing it to a footprint of about 1.5km x 1.38km. Our technical and management team has excelled in this endeavor. Furthermore, we've discovered numerous additional elements within the Hat deposit that may become significant and enhance the resource: the Hat deposit may be unique among British Columbia's many. Recent moves by the governments of Canada and British Columbia in recognize the importance of critical minerals and announce targeted infrastructure investments in support of our industry and the many communities and businesses that directly benefit."Selected Drill Results Prior to 2024 Exploration:Every year Doubleview releases details of the year's drilling and activities. The Company website maintains all relevant information. Visual estimates indicate that 2024 drilling has exceeded expectations and will further validate the resource model and increase the dimensions of the mineral resource envelope. Table 1 provides previously announced key intersections, including copper equivalents and selected significant intercepts.

Q2 Metals Drills 215.6m at 1.69% Li2O including 64.6m at 2.29% Li2O at the Cisco Lithium Property, James Bay, Quebec, Canada

Highlights:Strong analytical results from the inaugural drilling campaign for Q2 Metals include:CS-24-018: Widest interval of215.6 m at 1.69% Li2O, including 64.6 m at 2.29% Li2O.CS-24-011: Widest interval of 81.8 m at 1.17% Li2O.CS-24-013: Widest interval of 59.5 m at 1.18% Li2O.Core assay results remain to be reported on six (6) additional drill holes completed during the Summer 2024 Drill Campaign.Q2 Metals Corp. (TSXV:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) ("Q2" or the "Company") is pleased to report the core assay results on drill holes CS-24-011 to CS-24-016 and CS-24-018 from the Spring 2024 Drill Campaign at the Cisco Lithium Property (the "Property" or the "Cisco Property") located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada. All drill holes intersected pegmatite with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified."These assays continue to validate the potential and scale of the Cisco Property as that of a larger mineralized system," stated Neil McCallum, Vice President Exploration of the Company. "One important observation of these results is the higher-grade nature of the larger mineralized system as we test and track the system progressing to the south.""We are extremely pleased with these assay results, which continue to demonstrate the world-class nature of the Cisco Project," said Alicia Milne, President and Chief Executive Officer of Q2 Metals. "It is difficult to ignore the significance of what we've discovered at Cisco and our team is committed to continuing to unlock Cisco's full potential."A total of 6,359.7 metres ("m") was drilled over 17 holes during the Spring and Summer 2024 Drill Campaigns.The analytical results reported herein represent 2,318.4 m of drilling over seven (7) holes during the drill campaigns with core assay results remaining to be reported on six (6) additional drill holes that were completed.Complete highlighted intervals from holes CS-24-011 to 016 and CA-24-018 are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1, with two cross sections in Figures 2 and 3.Figure 1. Map of Recent Drill Hole Analytical Results at Cisco PropertyDrills holes CS-24-011 to CS-24-015 targeted the extension of the CO1 outcrop area towards the CO3 outcrop area.Drill hole CS-24-011 was the most significant interval near CO1, which returned results of 81.8 m of 1.17% Li2O. The hole was a 70 m westward step out from previously reported drill holes CS-24-009 and 010 which had similar results of 82.1 m of 1.43% Li2O and 120.3 m of 1.72% Li2O, respectively (Figure 1 and Cross Section A- Figure 2).As seen in the Cross Section B (Figure 3), many of the western drill holes (CS-24-012 to 015) had several narrower intervals between three (3) and 30 m wide (see Table 1). Drill hole CS-24-016 tested directly below the CO1 outcrop to understand the continuity of mineralization in that region, with 15.8 m of 1.33% Li2O.Drill hole CS-24-018 is the first hole with analytical results to confirm the large, mineralized zone to the south with results of 215.6 m at 1.69% Li2O, including 64.6 m at 2.29% Li2O. The wide mineralized zone in drill hole CS-24-018 is at a depth of between 130 and 270 m vertically below the surface, with the first significant mineralized interval at a depth of only 35 m vertically below the surface.Figure 2. Cross Section A (looking northeast)Figure 3. Cross Section B (looking northeast)Table 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Spring Drill Holes at Cisco PropertyAll intervals of greater than 2 m of core-length are included in the table. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than 5 m. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole. Drill hole collar information has been previously reported for each drill hole reported herein and is also available at: https://www.q2metals.com/property/cisco-lithium-property/.Due to the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocols in place by both the Company and the analytical laboratory (SGS Canada), drill hole CS-24-017 was re-submitted for testing. Results will be reported when received and reviewed by the Company.About the Cisco PropertyThe Cisco Property is comprised of 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 hectares in size. It is located less than 10 kilometres ("km") east of the Billy Diamond Highway, and is approximately 150 km north of Matagami, a small town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay. The Property lies within the greater Nemaska Community lands of the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.The Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively.Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAll drill core samples were shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade was reported by SGS Canada as lithium oxide (Li2O). Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.Qualified PersonNeil McCallum, B.Sc., P.Geol, is a registered permit holder with the Ordre des Géologues du Québec and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release.
