How to Choose the Right Savings Account for Your Money Goals in Singapore

SINGAPORE, Mar 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Choosing where to place your savings in Singapore is an important financial decision that requires careful consideration. With many banks offering different types of accounts, it is easy to get confused. However, picking the right one is the first step to reaching your financial goals, whether you are saving for a dream wedding, a new home, or a retirement fund.The good news is that you no longer need to spend a whole afternoon waiting at a bank branch. You can now open a bank account online in just a few minutes using your phone or computer. Here is a simple guide to help you choose the best account for your needs in 2026.Identify Your Financial HabitsBefore focusing on interest rates, consider how you manage your money on a daily basis. Savings accounts in Singapore usually fall into two categories:The Active Saver: These accounts give you high interest rates, but you have to make a few mandatory transactions each month. Usually, you need to credit your salary and spend a set amount on your credit card.The Passive Saver: These accounts help you earn bonus interest just for keeping your money in the account and letting it grow. You do not need to worry about credit card spending or paying bills.Compare Interest RatesBefore opening a bank account online, make sure you compare the interest rates. Many basic accounts offer low interest rates. To make your money grow, you should look for bonus interest.For example, a high-interest account can offer between 2% and 5% depending on the rules you follow. If you have SGD 50,000, the difference between a basic account and a high-interest one could be hundreds of dollars in extra cash every year. Always check the effective interest rate, which tells you the real amount you will earn after all the levels are counted.Look for Welcome PromotionsBanks in Singapore are always competing for your business. When you open a bank account online, you can often grab a welcome gift, such as cash credits or rewards. These promotions are a great way to get a head start on your savings. Just make sure to check the dates, as many of these flash deals only last for a few months.Check the Fees and MinimumsEven a great account can lose you money if you are not careful about fees. Before you sign up, check for these three things:Minimum balance: Most accounts require maintaining a certain amount of money in the account at all times. If the balance drops below this limit, the bank may charge you a monthly fee.Initial deposit: Some accounts require at least SGD 1,000 to get started.ATM access: Make sure the bank has plenty of ATMs near your home or office so you do not get charged for using the machine of another bank.Open an Account OnlineOnce you have picked the right account, the final step is to fill out your application. In Singapore, you can use Singpass MyInfo to fill out your application automatically.When you open a bank account online, your details, such as your NRIC, address, and income, are pulled directly from the government database, thus reducing paperwork. Most accounts are approved almost instantly, and you can start using your new digital card right away.Final ThoughtsChoosing a savings account is not just about finding the highest interest rate. It is about finding the one that fits how you live. If you are a busy professional who already uses a credit card, an active account is perfect. If you just want to set your money aside and forget it, a passive account is better.By taking 10 minutes to compare your options today, you can ensure that every dollar you earn works as hard as you do.Disclaimer: This article is for general information only and does not have any regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of any specific person.

Everest Medicines Enters into Asset Purchase Agreement for Etripamil Nasal Spray, Expanding Cardiovascular Footprint

HONG KONG, March 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines today announced that it has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Corxel Pharmaceuticals Hong Kong Limited ("CORXEL"). Under the agreement, the Company has acquired the rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize CARDAMYST™ (etripamil) nasal spray in Greater China, including Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan region.Under the terms of the agreement, Everest will pay CORXEL an upfront payment of US$30 million (equivalent to approximately RMB344,895,000), as well as potential development milestone payments of up to US$20 million (equivalent to approximately RMB137,958,000). As part of this agreement, Everest will be assigned and transferred rights, interests, claims, duties, obligations and liabilities (other than certain excluded liabilities) under the Milestone License Agreement entered into by CORXEL in May 2021 and certain related ancillary agreements.CARDAMYST™ (etripamil) nasal spray is a novel, rapid-acting calcium channel blocker as administered as needed via a convenient, portable nasal spray. It offers rapid onset of action, favorable tolerability, and the potential for at-home self-administration, enhancing patient accessibility. In December 2025, CARDAMYST was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), becoming the first and only self-administered nasal spray in more than 30 years capable of converting paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) to sinus rhythm in adults. As a rapid-acting treatment option, CARDAMYST can be self-administered outside the emergency department or other healthcare settings, enabling patients to actively manage episodes and gain greater control over their condition. In addition to its approved indication for PSVT, etripamil nasal spray is also under clinical development for atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (AFib-RVR). Phase II trials have shown encouraging results, and Phase III trials are planned, with the potential to further extend its therapeutic impact to a broader patient population.In China, the New Drug Application (NDA) for etripamil nasal spray was accepted by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) on January 17, 2025 and is expected to receive approval in the third quarter of 2026.PSVT is characterized by abnormalities in the heart's electrical system that cause sudden unexpected and often severely symptomatic episodes of rapid heart rate. There are currently no approved self-administered, fast-acting, non-injectable therapies for acute PSVT, leaving patients with limited treatment options beyond emergency care. Approximately 2.3 to 4 per 1,000 individuals are affected by PSVT, representing an estimated 3 to 6 million patients in China.AFib-RVR is a type of irregular heart rhythm, characterized by an irregular and elevated heart rate. Its onset is typically gradual, episodes are less likely to terminate spontaneously, and the condition tends to recur, significantly increasing the risk of thromboembolism and serious complications such as stroke and heart failure. In China, atrial fibrillation affects an estimated 1.6% of the population, representing nearly 20 million patients, and is expected to increase with an aging population. Both PSVT and AFib-RVR are associated with a loss of control and a significant psychological burden for patients.Overall, the combined patient population for PSVT and AFib-RVR exceeds 25 million, representing a significantly unmet clinical need that urgently requires more convenient and more effective treatment options.In terms of clinical data, the NDA for etripamil nasal spray was accepted by the NMPA based on data from the pivotal global Phase 3 RAPID study and the China Phase 3 JX02002 study. Both trials met their primary endpoints. Overall, the treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were comparable between the etripamil and placebo groups. The FDA approval of CARDAMYST was supported by a robust clinical program that included safety data from more than 1,800 participants across more than 2,000 PSVT episodes. This included the Phase 3 RAPID trial, a global, randomized, double-blind comparison of etripamil versus placebo, published in The Lancet in 2023. The RAPID trial achieved its primary endpoint, with 64% of participants who self-administered etripamil (N=99) converting from supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) to sinus rhythm within 30 minutes compared with 31% on placebo (N=85) (HR = 2.62; p<0.001). The median time to conversion was 17 minutes (95% CI: 13.4, 26.5) for etripamil versus 54 minutes (95% CI: 38.7, 87.3) for placebo. Etripamil nasal spray is also under clinical development for AFib-RVR. In the randomized, controlled Phase-2 ReVeRA study, etripamil demonstrated rapid and significant reduction in ventricular rate in patients with AFib-RVR, achieving its primary endpoint. A greater number of patients receiving etripamil achieved a ventricular rate of less than 100 bpm (58.3%) than those receiving placebo (4%). The safety profile was consistent with previous studies.From a strategic perspective, this transaction is also seen as an important step for the Company in implementing 2030 Strategy. Driven by its 2030 Strategy, and led by Mr. Yifang Wu, Chairman of the Board, Everest is accelerating growth through a dual-engine approach that combines strategic business development partnerships with in-house R&D. This transaction further strengthens Everest's expanding cardiovascular franchise, building on recent strategic initiatives and reinforcing the Company's disciplined approach to constructing focused therapeutic verticals with meaningful lifecycle expansion potential. Through continued advancement of its pipeline and product portfolio globally, Everest aims to deliver innovative therapies to more patients, create sustainable long-term value, and advance its position to become a leading global biopharmaceutical company."We are pleased to collaborate with CORXEL, this agreement marks an important step in our continued expansion in the cardiovascular field and a meaningful milestone in advancing our growth 2030 strategy," said Mr. Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. "CARDAMYST is currently the only therapy designed for at-home self-administration to enable the acute termination of PSVT and AFib-RVR episodes, addressing a significant unmet medical need among patients in China. We will leverage our clinical development expertise and established commercialization platform to accelerate its advancement and future launch in Greater China, while further strengthening our cardiovascular franchise and unlocking its broader potential across atrial arrhythmias."As the registration and commercialization of Etripamil nasal spray progress, the company aims to further expand its cardiovascular portfolio. Leveraging its established clinical development and commercialization capabilities, Everest Medicines will accelerate the delivery of innovative assets, advance its 2030 strategy, and bring more treatment options to patients.

During the Reporting Period, the commercialization of HuaTangNing (dorzagliatin tablets), the Company’s core product – the global first-in-class innovative anti-diabetes medicine, glucokinase activator (GKA) – advanced comprehensively across all fronts, the Company’s independent commercialization team was efficiently and seamlessly established in its first year of operations, the Company’s R&D pipeline continued to be enriched, and the Company’s financial performance achieved a historic breakthrough, successfully entering a new stage of profitability, injecting strong momentum into the innovative development of the global diabetes treatment field.Dr. Li CHEN, Founder and CEO of Hua Medicine, stated: “2025 is a remarkable year in the commercialization operation of Hua Medicine. The Company has successfully advanced from R&D to commercialization driven organization and achieved the fully independent capacity in commercialization of global first in class novel glucose homeostasis regulator HuaTangNing. With strong market execution and product competitiveness, we have achieved nearly triple-digit growth in sales volume and revenue over 2024 when the commercialization was farmed out to sales and marketing partners. At the same time, the Company has made key progress in global market expansion through registration of drozagliatin in Hong Kong and position it toward 700 M population in south-east Asia. We continue to expand the clinical application of glucose homeostasis regulation technology and engage in new indications such as early-stage Alzheimer’s disease and Frailty. The first-in-disease efforts in GCK-MODY and Frailty set the new innovation course of Hua Medicine in the next 5 years.” Business Highlights and Operational Progress- Fully Powered Commercialization, Historic Breakthrough in ProfitabilityOn January 1, 2025, the Company assumed full responsibility for the commercialization of HuaTangNing, allowing the company to consolidate both operational and strategic control over market execution in China. The Company successfully built a professional sales team covering 10 sales regions around the country, focusing on marketing, medical affairs and commercial operation. Through an AI-empowered digital commercialization platform, operational efficiency and sales productivity were greatly enhanced, injecting new vitality into the Company’s commercial development.Reimbursement coverage under the NRDL has significantly increased accessibility, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 hospitals, and played a critical role in accelerating patient adoption. Since its launch in October 2022, HuaTangNing has been prescribed to over 500,000 patients through 3,000+ hospitals, community centers, pharmacies and online channels.Sales performance exceeded expectations, with 4.011 million packs of HuaTangNing sold during the reporting period, representing a 91% increase over the fiscal year 2024. This growth was achieved at the same price for both periods, underscoring strong demand and successful execution of Hua’s commercial strategy.In terms of profitability, the Company’s gross profit reached approximately RMB280.4 million, a year-on-year increase of 125%. Thanks to expanded production scale and optimized manufacturing processes, the Company’s gross margin improved to 56.9%,  increasing by 8.2 percentage points as compared to 48.7% for the year of 2024. Selling expenses increased only by RMB12.3 million to RMB165.5 million, reflecting a significant positive trend towards profitability when our selling expenses in the 2025 fiscal year represents only 33.6% of revenue, whereas in the 2024 fiscal year, our selling expenses represented approximately 59.9% of revenue. In fiscal year 2025, our commercialization efforts achieved profits of approximately RMB114.9 million (as defined by gross profits less selling expenses). Although we expect to continue to increase personnel to our commercialization team, we expect this profitability trend in our commercial operations in mainland China to continue.Following the termination of the collaboration with Bayer at the end of 2024, dorzagliatin achieved a record-high sales volume. Profit before tax increased to RMB1,106.4 million for the fiscal year 2025. We ended fiscal year 2025 with a cash position of approximately RMB1,092.3 million.- Accelerated Global Layout, Strengthened Core Rights and InterestsThe Company took a key step in global expansion. On February 27, 2026, dorzagliatin (trade name: MYHOMSIS®, was successfully approved for marketing by the Hong Kong regulatory authority. The Company plans to officially launch the product in the Hong Kong market by the middle of 2026 and further expand to Asian regions. In addition, the Company submitted a new drug registration application in Macau in 2025.The Company also made new progress in intellectual property protection. In February 2026, the patent term extension (PTE) application for dorzagliatin was formally approved by the China National Intellectual Property Administration, thereby the core patent protection period of dorzagliatin extended to April 2034 and an additional 5-year market exclusivity obtained, which provides a strong guarantee for the product’s long-term market competition.In 2025, dorzagliatin was recognized as national innovation and an effective therapy for chronic diseases by the regulatory authorities in China. Accordingly, the same NRDL price was offered for the calendar years 2026 and 2027. Reimbursement coverage under the NRDL has significantly increased accessibility, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 hospitals, and played a critical role in accelerating patient adoption. The Company will continue to safeguard the product’s market competitiveness and patient accessibility and accelerate the popularization of the drug among patients.- Advancement of Real-World Studies, Continuous Validation of Clinical ValueReal-world evidence (RWE) studies continue to corroborate the key role of dorzagliatin in improving glucose-dependent pancreatic islet secretion function, and demonstrate its efficacy in diabetes prevention, remission, and delaying or preventing diabetes complications.The RWE study sponsored by Hua Medicine HMM0701 with 380 T2D patients was fully enrolled in 2025. The interim analysis, as reported at the 2025 American Diabetes Association (ADA), showed that 86% of such patients were taking two or more antidiabetic drugs and 41% of such patients were using insulin. After a 6-month treatment, a significant improvement of glycemic control was observed with HbA1c reduction from 8.1% to 7.3% with the mean time-in-range (TIR) levels increasing to over 70%. Thus far, the studies have demonstrated that when dorzagliatin is administered in combination with other antidiabetic drugs, such patients have experienced significantly improved post-meal glucose levels and improved β-cell function.Separately, a mechanistic study with dorzagliatin (employing double-tracer measurement) was conducted in the United States to provide scientific evidence of hepatic glycogen formation in T2D patients with an average of 17 years of diagnosed diabetes. In this study, patients were treated with dorzagliatin twice daily for 6 weeks. The results showed that dorzagliatin increased direct glucose flux to hepatic glycogen implying the improvement of restoration of hepatic Glucokinase (GK) function. Together with the clinical research data that dorzagliatin improves early phase insulin release and GLP-1 secretion, recovery of hepatic glycogen synthesis in T2D patients offers an important path in controlling post-meal glucose excursion and provides a unique opportunity in controlling diabetes complications, such as diabetes kidney diseases and mild cognition impairment.The RWE sponsored by Hua Medicine (HMM0601) has completed clinical trials with over 2,000 subjects, with average diabetes duration of 7.9 years and above 30% having disease duration more than 10 years. The initial results suggest that dorzagliatin is safe and well tolerated in Chinese T2DM patients. There were no new adverse effects observed in the study and the incident rate remains as low as what was observed in Phase III clinical trials. Patient adherence was generally high, with a mean adherence rate of approximately 95%. In this study, 80% of the participants have used one or more oral anti-diabetes medicine, and 20% used insulin. Dorzagliatin demonstrated good efficacy and safety not only in the overall population but also in elderly, obese, and hyperglycemic patient populations, whether used as monotherapy or in combination with metformin, SGLT2 inhibitors, insulin, and other medications. The topline results will be reported at the 2026 American Diabetes Association.- Deepened Clinical R&D, Continuous Expansion of New IndicationsNew Indication for Dorzagliatin – MODY-2 Patients.Medical experts in mainland China and Hong Kong have conducted independent clinical and preclinical studies of dorzagliatin for MODY-2 treatment. MODY-2, also called GCK-MODY, is a monogenic disease in which patients have a genetic defect of glucokinase gene (GCK) which results in elevated blood glucose and significant reduction of the second phase insulin secretion. The population of GCK-MODY patients is approximately 1.7 million in China. These patients are diagnosed with diabetes at a young age and represent an unmet medical need given that currently available medications are not effective. In clinical studies with MODY-2 patients, China investigators have reported that dorzagliatin is effective in reducing blood glucose levels to normal levels in MODY-2 patients who previously failed to manage their elevated blood glucose levels when treated with metformin, TZD, DPP-IV inhibitors, and SGLT-2 inhibitors. Additional results demonstrated that a single dose of dorzagliatin improved overall glucose sensitivity and second phase insulin secretion significantly in GCK-MODY patients, suggesting a unique mechanism of action of dorzagliatin to regulate GLP-1 secretion. Based on such results, Hua Medicine has communicated and reached a consensus with the CDE at NMPA to file the IND submission of dorzagliatin for MODY-2 patients in 2026.Dorzagliatin for Diabetes Prevention.Prevention of diabetes is an important focus at Hua Medicine. There are approximately 1.12 billion people living with prediabetes worldwide. We have initiated SENSITIZE 3 clinical study in Hong Kong in pre-diabetic (IGT) subjects and in early diabetes patients. These studies represent first-in-disease studies. In this double-blinded placebo-controlled study, we will evaluate the blood glucose management and pancreatic function under IVGTT and OGTT conditions to better define the clinical treatment baseline and endpoints. We expect to complete this study in 2026 and explore the opportunity to file IND applications of dorzagliatin for diabetes prevention in China and Asian Pacific regions thereafter. Dorzagliatin for Neurodegenerative Diseases.MCI shows approximately 15.5% prevalence among elderly people in China and approximately 22% in the US, and is common in T2D patients with a 45% incidence rate. The development of dorzagliatin for neurodegenerative disease is a new focus in our drug discovery efforts. Through the Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) and Mendelian Randomization (MR) study, we have realized the important role of GCK gene activation in the prevention of memory loss and cognitive impairment in humans. It has also come to our attention that post-meal glucose excursion is closely related to Alzheimer disease and dementia. The bio-energy balance in the brain is largely dependent on the glucose homeostasis control in the peripheral organ and the neural network communication in the central and peripheral system via spatial temporal management. Impaired glucose homeostasis and diabetes conditions result in a reduction of glucose transporter expression and insulin receptor expression in the brain, which can be prevented by low dose dorzagliatin. We have realized the potential of dorzagliatin in the treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and will initiate these first-in-disease clinical studies in the future.Dorzagliatin for Frailty.Frailty is an age-related geriatric syndrome characterized by reduced tolerance to internal and external stressors. Approximately 17% of Americans and 11% of Asians over the age of 50 suffer from frailty, while pre-frailty affects roughly 50% and 47% of these populations, respectively. It is not a single-organ disease, but the consequence of dysregulated multisystem homeostasis. Genetic evidence supports the causal effects of glucokinase (GK) activation on lowering frailty risk. We plan to initiate clinical studies in the future to advance dorzagliatin’s application in frailty.Development of combination therapy for diabetes and complications.Dorzagliatin rescues pancreatic function in glucose insulin secretion and GLP-1 secretion, as evidenced by clinical and basic research results. It also improves hepatic insulin sensitivity and reduces hepatic insulin resistance through recovery of hepatic glycogen synthesis in T2D patients. The combination of dorzagliatin with DPP-IV inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, and GLP-1 agonists have demonstrated effective regulation of lipid metabolism. Studies in combination with anticancer PI3K inhibitors have also offered unique benefits for glucose homeostasis management.- Diversified Product Pipeline, Innovative Layout for Future GrowthHua Medicine continues to enrich its pipeline layout based on core products. The Company has accelerated the R&D of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of dorzagliatin and metformin as a twice-daily therapy for Type 2 diabetes patients with inadequate glycemic control on metformin alone, to further improve patient medication compliance. The product is supported by the strong results of the loose-dose combination in both Phase III clinical trials and real-world use. The Company has submitted an IND application to NMPA, and the GMP commercial manufacturing process has been successfully carried out, preparing for the pivotal bioequivalence study for NDA filing in 2027. Clinical studies have shown that the combination of dorzagliatin and metformin can better control blood glucose, reduce postprandial blood glucose and improve fasting blood glucose, providing new clinical value for optimizing blood glucose homeostasis endpoints.We have advanced our 2nd generation GKA as a once daily therapy for patients with obesity, leveraging dorzagliatin effects in improved glucose-stimulated GLP-1 secretion in the pancreas and in the intestine. The MAD study of the 2nd generation GKA was initiated in the United States with first-patient-in in December 2025, and we expect to report topline data by the middle of 2026.Meanwhile, the Company is also exploring combination therapy regimens of dorzagliatin with GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT-2 inhibitors and other drugs. In a recently published clinical trial in China, researchers reported the superior benefits of our dorzagliatin in combination with semaglutide as compared to semaglutide alone in a 12-week study. The combination group showed superior results across several key measures, including glycemic control, bodyweight related indicators and β-cell function.Financial Summary- Revenue generated by the Company was approximately RMB 492.9 million from the sale of approximately 4.011 million packs of HuaTangNing, increases of approximately 93% and 91% respectively, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024.- Gross profit generated by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, was approximately RMB280.4 million, representing an increase of approximately 125%, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024, and gross margins rose to 56.9%.- Profit before tax increased by approximately 542% to approximately RMB1,106.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2024.- Bank balances and cash position was approximately RMB1,092.3 million as of December 31, 2025.- Expenditures incurred by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, were approximately RMB433.4 million.Forward-Looking StatementsThis document contains statements regarding Hua Medicine's and its products' future expectations, plans and prospects.

In 2025, over 70% of the hospitals the Company collaborated with were tertiary hospitals, and more than one-third of customers had maintained continuous cooperation for over three years. The medical-record entry and generation products powered by the medical large model delivered a 10-fold YoY increase in full-annual medical record generation at a single campus of a leading Class III hospital. The commercial insurance AI agent platform recorded a 37-fold YoY increase in case processing volume. In deep cooperation with a leading insurance group, the expense control rate was effectively raised to approximately 20%, delivering more than $145 million in incremental cost management compared with traditional review methods, comprehensively empowering insurance institutions to refine their medical risk management operations.Continued R&D Investment Strengthens the Technology MoatTo consolidate its industry-leading position, the Company continued to invest heavily in R&D in 2025. Full-year R&D expenses exceeded $55.09 million, accounting for 75% of the Company's adjusted operating expenses, while R&D personnel accounted for 69% of the total workforce. This sustained investment drove breakthroughs across multiple technology areas. For example, in the MedBench 4.0 evaluation, the Company ranked first place in three technical paradigms: "Medical AI Agent," "Medical Large Language Model," and "Medical Multimodal Large Model," earning a "Triple Crown."Outlook: Deepening the Technological Foundation and Expanding Application BoundariesLooking ahead, Unisound will continue to deepen its "Strong Foundation Model + Deep Application" strategy. On the technological front, the Company will continue to increase strategic investment in foundational large models and strive to maintain a world-class level. On the application front, it will use the large-scale expansion of MaaS (Model-as-a-Service) and AI agents as its core growth engine, driving exponential growth in its AI in Daily Life and AI in Healthcare businesses. Meanwhile, the Company is actively exploring the establishment of a recurring revenue system through models such as API calls and Token-based billing, and regards opportunities in consumer-facing (C-end) products as a second growth curve to further expand its commercialization boundaries.Between Q2 and Q3 2026, Unisound will launch a native AI agent large model for programming and office applications, which is expected to double both intelligence density and token production efficiency.

Dynasty Fine Wines Announces 2025 Annual Results

Financial Highlights (Audited)(HKD Thousand)Year ended31 December20252024Revenue170,011271,372Gross Profit53,382104,720Profit Attributable to Owners of the Company13,68833,440Basic Earnings per Share (HK cents)0.972.37HONG KONG, Mar 26, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Dynasty Fine Wines Group Limited (“Dynasty” or “the Group”) (Stock Code: 00828), a premier grape winemaker in China, today announced its audited annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025 (“the Year”).In 2025, due to the impact of macroeconomy as well as weak demand in wine consumer market in the PRC, the Group’s sales of medium to high-end products significantly declined, resulting in a 37% year-on-year decrease in revenue to HK$170.0 million. In addition, due to the decline in sales revenue and gross margin, as well as an increase in loss allowances for trade receivables owing to extended repayment from certain distributors, the profit attributable to owners of the Company decreased by 59% year-on-year to approximately HK$13.7 million, although such decrease in profit was already partly offset by a net gain on compensatory surrender recognised during the year. Earnings per share of the Company was HK0.97 cents per Share.With strengthened marketing effort for dry white in coastal region and the launch of new white wine and sparkling wine products, sales of white wine products served as the Group’s primary revenue contributor. Sales of red and white wines products accounted for approximately 39% and 54% of the revenue respectively for the year (2024: approximately 41% and 56% respectively). The gross margin of red wine products and white wine products in 2025 were 25% and 35% respectively (2024: 36% and 41% respectively). The overall gross profit margin decreased to 31% in 2025 (2024: 39%), mainly due to change in product mix with more products with lower prices and margin in response to market dynamics and needs during the year.The Group has been actively pursuing innovation, embracing the “5+4+N” product strategy, with “N” standing for developing various customised products and continuously creating new products to meet the diverse needs of different Chinese consumer groups. During the year, the Group launched a new gift set product, i.e. Dynasty Chinese Zodiac Commemorative Dry Red Wine for the Yi Si Year of Snake, integrating with the Chinese zodiac culture and the leading rise of Chinese-style fashionable products, by presenting the zodiac culture in a youthful visual language to attract potential consumers. In addition, based on its existing high-quality products, the Group continues to introduce new products and promote product upgrades. The Group participated in the 112th China Food & Drinks Fair in March 2025, introducing new products such as Tianyang Tea-flavoured wine series, Dynasty Baifu VSOP brandy, etc., to further improve its product matrix and provide consumers with diverse consumption choices.

OpenClawd Ships Verified Skill Screening After Security Researchers Find 12% of OpenClaw Marketplace Skills Are Malware

NEW YORK, N.Y., Mar 26, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - OpenClawd AI today released a security-focused platform update that adds automated skill vetting, verified installer sourcing, and runtime sandboxing to its managed OpenClaw hosting service. The update responds to two converging threats targeting users of the open-source AI agent formerly known as Clawdbot and Moltbot: a large-scale malware campaign inside the official OpenClaw skill marketplace, and a parallel wave of counterfeit installation packages being promoted through search engine results.The numbers are bad enough on their own. Together, they describe a supply chain that is actively hostile to casual users.One in Eight OpenClaw Skills Is Confirmed MaliciousIndependent security researchers recently completed an audit of the ClawHub skill marketplace — the primary distribution channel for third-party OpenClaw plugins. Out of 2,857 published skills, 341 were confirmed as malicious. That is approximately 12% of the entire marketplace.The findings include:Keyloggers and credential stealers deployed through skills that appear to offer legitimate productivity featuresSilent data exfiltration — one widely-downloaded skill was found to instruct the OpenClaw agent to execute curl commands that sent user data to an external server without any notification or consent promptPrompt injection payloads embedded in skill descriptions, designed to override the agent’s safety guidelines and force execution of unauthorized commandsPlaintext credential exposure — a separate audit found that over 280 additional skills were leaking API keys, tokens, and passwords in their source codeA major cybersecurity firm tested a specific ClawHub skill and published the results: nine security findings, including two critical and five high-severity issues. The skill functioned as what the researchers called “functionally malware.” The most widely-downloaded malicious skill on ClawHub was a cryptocurrency stealer.Fake OpenClaw Installers Are Being Promoted by Search EnginesThe marketplace problem is only half the story. A cybersecurity research team discovered that threat actors have published counterfeit OpenClaw installation packages on open-source code repositories. These fake installers mimic the legitimate OpenClaw setup process but instead deliver a malware packer that disables firewall protections and routes network traffic through compromised systems.The attack chain is straightforward: a user searches for “install OpenClaw” or “Clawdbot download.” An AI-powered search engine returns a result linking to the malicious repository. The user follows the instructions. The malware deploys silently.The researcher who discovered the campaign noted that the person who first reported the threat was a technical professional. “If a fellow IT pro is susceptible to this threat,” he said, “then anyone could be.”“There are now two ways to get compromised before you even run your first OpenClaw command,” said Danny Wilson, spokesperson for OpenClawd. “You can install a fake version of the software, or you can install the real version and then add a skill that steals your data. We built this update so that neither path exists on our platform.”What OpenClawd Ships TodayThis update targets both the supply chain and the runtime:Verified installer sourcing — all OpenClawd instances are provisioned from cryptographically signed OpenClaw releases, pulled directly from the official repository. No third-party install paths. No search engine intermediaries.Skill vetting pipeline — third-party skills go through automated static analysis and behavioral testing before activation. Skills flagged for network exfiltration, prompt injection patterns, or credential exposure are blocked by default.Runtime sandboxing — each skill executes in an isolated environment with explicit permission boundaries. A skill that requests network access to an unexpected endpoint triggers a review before execution.Credential isolation — API keys and tokens are stored in encrypted vaults and never exposed in plaintext to skill code or agent logsAutomatic CVE patching — hosted instances track the latest stable OpenClaw release (currently v2026.3.x), with all known vulnerabilities patched before deploymentOpenClawd does not operate its own skill marketplace. Skills available on hosted instances are drawn from the official ClawHub repository after passing the vetting pipeline described above.OpenClawd is not affiliated with the OpenClaw open-source foundation, OpenAI, Peter Steinberger, or any third-party security research firm cited in this release. It is an independent platform built on the open-source Clawdbot codebase. The open-source project remains free at github.com/openclaw/openclaw.Pricing starts with a free tier. Paid plans include dedicated compute, priority security patching, and uptime monitoring.

Casa Minerals Receives Extensive Historic Drill Database from Congress Gold Mine Project; Desktop Technical Studies Define Three Priority Exploration Zones Ahead of 2026 Drilling Season

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 26, 2026) - Casa Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CASA) (OTCQB: CASXF) (FSE: 0CM) (the "Company" or "Casa") is pleased to announce that it has received a large dataset of historic drill hole information from the Congress Gold Mine Project in Yavapai County, Arizona, USA. Comprehensive desktop technical studies integrating this data with the Company's own 2022 drilling campaign have resulted in the identification and delineation of three distinct priority exploration zones that will form the basis of the 2026 field and drilling program.HIGHLIGHTSReceipt of a large historic drill hole database greatly expanding the geological model for the Congress Gold Mine Project3D modelling of over 100 historic and recent drill holes confirms strong structural integrity and continuity of the gold-bearing vein systemsThree distinct exploration zones classified: Echo Bay Exploration Zone (~750m x 1,000m), Malartic Exploration Zone (~450m x 1,150m), and New Congress Niagara Exploration Zone (~800m x 1,000m)Echo Bay Exploration Zone designated highest priority target based on historic drill density and potential for expanded mineralization envelopeHistoric drill intercepts include highlights such as 1.2m @ 43.88 g/t Au, 2.0m @ 21.88 g/t Au, 3.3m @ 27.13 g/t Au, and 11.4m @ 4.81 g/t Au within the Echo Bay ZoneCongress Gold Mine Project is fully permitted with excellent road access and proximity to an experienced regional labor forceCompany geologists and field personnel are being mobilized for initial site preparation and drill program setupHISTORIC DRILL DATABASE COMPILATIONCasa Minerals is pleased to announce the receipt of a comprehensive dataset of historic drill hole collars, surveys, and assay records from the Congress Gold Mine Project. This data was compiled from exploration programs conducted by previous operators -- most notably Echo Bay Mines Ltd. -- during the 1980s through the early 1990s. The database encompasses a significant number of drill holes distributed across the project area, substantially expanding the known geological framework of the property.Historic exploration at the Congress Gold Mine was conducted during a period when gold market conditions were materially lower than today's environment, which directly influenced the selection criteria and cut-off grades used by previous operators. Consequently, the historic programs focused predominantly on higher-grade gold intersections, and many lower-grade vein intercepts that may be economically significant at current gold prices were not assigned the same level of analytical priority. Casa believes this creates a meaningful opportunity to reinterpret the mineralization system with a lower economic threshold, logically expanding the dimensions of the mineralization envelope that will be targeted in the forthcoming drilling season.Important Disclosure: The historic drill hole results referenced in this news release were collected and reported by previous operators under practices that predate current NI 43-101 standards. These results are disclosed solely for contextual and geological interpretation purposes. They have not been verified by a current Qualified Person, do not conform to NI 43-101, and are not classified as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historic results as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Casa is not treating them as such.THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELLING AND VEIN SYSTEM VALIDATIONDesktop technical studies have included rigorous 3D modelling of all available drill hole data using industry-standard geological modelling software. The resulting three-dimensional representation of the drill hole database, illustrated in Figure A below, demonstrates the remarkable density of historic drill coverage across the project and confirms the structural coherence and continuity of the principal gold-bearing vein systems.The 3D model was constructed using NAD83 / UTM Zone 12N coordinates and captures drill holes ranging from surface to depths approaching 600 metres below ground elevation. The model reveals that:The dominant vein systems exhibit strong northeast-southwest structural orientation, consistent with the principal fault architecture identified on surfaceThe alignment and attitude of vein structures intercepted in the Company's 2022 confirmatory drilling campaign correlate with high fidelity to those projected from the historic drill hole database, validating the overall geological modelThe 2022 drilling campaign identified additional vein structures not captured in the historic database, indicating that the current geological model is likely incomplete and that the total mineralized footprint may be materially larger than previously understoodIncorporating lower-grade vein intercepts -- previously deprioritized by historic operators under lower gold price conditions -- into the mineralization envelope substantially increases the aggregate target volume for future drillingFigure A: Four-panel 3D presentation of historic and recent drill hole collars and traces, Congress Gold Mine Project.

The classification of each zone reflects the combination of historic drill density, vein system geometry, and the nature of the gold mineralization documented to date. Figures 1 through 4 present these zones in their regional and local contexts.Figure 1: Regional overview map of the Congress Gold Mine Project showing principal vein systems (red dashed), fault corridors (blue dashed), shaft locations (Shafts 1 through 6), historic stope outlines (yellow, 1959-1987), patented claim and BLM claim outlines, and the location of the three principal exploration zones. The project is situated in Yavapai County, Arizona.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/290037_3e63fd76341e7b14_002full.jpgEcho Bay Exploration Zone -- Highest Priority TargetThe Echo Bay Exploration Zone, measuring approximately 750 metres by 1,000 metres, is the largest and most intensively drilled zone on the property. It encompasses the historic non-NI 43-101 resource outline that was previously defined by Echo Bay Mines and represents the core of the historic gold-producing system at Congress. The zone is bounded by the principal northeast-trending veining corridors and is cut by northwest-trending fault structures that locally displace but do not terminate the mineralized vein arrays.As illustrated in Figure 2, the Echo Bay Exploration Zone hosts a dense cluster of historic drill hole intercepts distributed across the full extent of the zone. The drill hole collars and assay intercepts depicted in the figure provide compelling evidence for broad, zone-scale gold mineralization. Notably, the higher-grade intercepts are concentrated along the principal vein corridors while lower-grade disseminated and stockwork gold is documented in the intervening ground. This spatial distribution is characteristic of orogenic gold systems and is consistent with the geological setting at Congress.Selected historic drill intercepts within the Echo Bay Exploration Zone include:1.2m @ 43.88 g/t Au -- exceptional high-grade intercept within the principal vein corridor3.3m @ 27.13 g/t Au -- high-grade intercept demonstrating vein width and continuity2.0m @ 21.88 g/t Au -- high-grade vein intercept in the central portion of the zone2.4m @ 19.03 g/t Au -- confirming strong grade continuity along strike11.4m @ 4.81 g/t Au -- broad, elevated-grade intercept indicative of wide mineralization envelopes within the vein system1.5m @ 15.28 g/t Au -- demonstrating high-grade vein core and broader lower-grade haloes2.0m @ 12.19 g/t Au and 7.3m @ 11.00 g/t Au -- further confirming grade and continuity of the principal vein arrays3.1m @ 11.19 g/t Au and 2.0m @ 15.63 g/t Au -- documented in the southwestern portion of the zone, indicating lateral continuityGiven the historic drill density, the documented grade profile, and the alignment of the 2022 confirmatory drilling with the historic vein model, the Echo Bay Exploration Zone has been assigned the highest exploration priority for the 2026 program. The Company views the zone as offering the clearest near-term pathway to NI 43-101 resource delineation.Figure 2: Detailed plan map of the Echo Bay Exploration Zone (~750m x 1,000m), Congress Gold Mine Project. Shown are historic drill hole intercepts (brown dots annotated with interval length in metres and gold grade in g/t), principal vein system traces (red dashed), fault corridors (blue dashed), historic stope outlines (yellow), shaft locations, and the historic non-NI 43-101 resource outline (red hatch). Selected intercepts include 1.2m @ 43.88 g/t Au, 3.3m @ 27.13 g/t Au, 11.4m @ 4.81 g/t Au, and 2.4m @ 19.03 g/t Au, among numerous others. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/290037_3e63fd76341e7b14_003full.jpgMalartic Exploration ZoneThe Malartic Exploration Zone covers an area of approximately 450 metres by 1,150 metres and is situated to the south and southeast of the Echo Bay Exploration Zone. The zone is named after the "Malartic-style" stratabound and vein-hosted gold mineralization that has been documented in this area of the project. Historic shaft locations CGC-003 and CGC-004 are located within this zone, providing direct underground access for potential future development.The Malartic Exploration Zone is characterized by multiple subparallel northwest-striking vein sets that have been intercepted in a series of shallow to moderate-depth drill holes. The vein system includes documented vein widths of 27 feet, 38 feet, and 55 feet (as labelled on Figure 3), indicating substantial structural corridors capable of hosting economically significant gold mineralization.Representative historic drill intercepts within the Malartic Exploration Zone include:3.6m @ 0.74 g/t Au and 10.3m @ 1.73 g/t Au -- broad lower-grade intercepts within the principal vein corridor demonstrating wide mineralization envelopes10.36m @ 1.41 g/t Au and 8.1m @ 3.53 g/t Au -- moderate-grade intercepts confirming continuity of the vein arrays7.7 @ 3.56 g/t Au and 8.1m @ 2.53 g/t Au -- further demonstrating consistent grade within vein-hosted mineralization3.2m @ 7.72 g/t Au and 2.8m @ 9.41 g/t Au -- higher-grade intercepts at the northern margin of the zone (shared boundary with the Echo Bay Zone)The Malartic Exploration Zone is relatively underexplored compared to the Echo Bay Zone, and the relatively sparse drill coverage suggests significant upside potential for zone expansion with systematic drilling.Figure 3: Detailed plan map of the Malartic Exploration Zone (~450m x 1,150m), Congress Gold Mine Project. Shown are historic drill hole intercepts (annotated with gold values), principal vein system traces, shaft locations including CGC-003 and CGC-004, historic stope outlines, and documented vein widths of 8.2m, 11.6m, and 16.8m.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/290037_3e63fd76341e7b14_004full.jpgNew Congress Niagara Exploration ZoneThe New Congress Niagara Exploration Zone, measuring approximately 800 metres by 1,000 metres, is the northernmost of the three classified exploration zones and is situated along a structurally distinct corridor characterized by the northwest-striking New Congress-Niagara fault system. This zone encompasses historic Shaft 1 as well as drill holes CGC-008, CGC-009, and CGC-010 from the Company's 2022 exploration program.The 2022 drilling in this zone identified four discrete veins with widths ranging from 49.5 feet to 206 feet -- a notably wide structural corridor. These widths are illustrated in Figure 4 as Vein 49.5 ft, Vein 55 ft, Vein 70.5 ft, and Vein 206 ft. The scale of these structural features highlights the potential for significant bulk-tonnage style mineralization within this zone, distinct from the higher-grade but narrower veins documented in the Echo Bay Zone.Critically, the 2022 drilling at the New Congress Niagara Zone identified several vein structures that are not represented in the historic drill database, reinforcing the Company's view that the existing geological model incompletely captures the full scope of the vein system. This structural incompleteness, combined with the relatively limited historic drill coverage of this zone, underscores its exploration potential.Figure 4: Detailed plan map of the New Congress Niagara Exploration Zone (~800m x 1,000m), Congress Gold Mine Project. Shown are drill hole locations from the 2022 exploration program (CGC-008, CGC-009, CGC-010) alongside Shaft 1, with identified vein widths of 49.5 ft, 55 ft, 70.5 ft, and 206 ft.

"For the first time, we now have a comprehensive view of the full scope of historic exploration at Congress, and what we see is highly encouraging. The 3D model clearly validates our 2022 findings and demonstrates that the gold system is both continuous and larger than historic estimates suggested. With gold trading at current levels, the lower-grade vein intercepts that were historically deprioritized now become compelling exploration targets in their own right. The Echo Bay Zone, with intercepts like 1.2m @ 43.88 g/t and 11.4m @ 4.81 g/t, gives us a very strong foundation from which to build a modern NI 43-101 resource. We are mobilizing our team and look forward to reporting our first drill results from the 2026 season."QUALIFIED PERSONMr. Erik Ostensoe, P.Geo., a Director and Chief Geologist of the Company, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical disclosure in this news release.ABOUT CASA MINERALS INC.Casa Minerals Inc. is a mineral exploration company focused on gold, copper, and strategic minerals exploration in North America.

Building on this foundation, the gross profit margin of plastic lenses is projected to rise from 30% in 2025 to 35% in 2026, reaching a industry-leading level.Notably, AAC has made a significant breakthrough in its globally proprietary Wafer-Level Glass (WLG) lens technology, reaching a key milestone. This advancement not only expands the scope of application scenarios but is also expected to drive a shift in the market landscape traditionally dominated by plastic lenses. Dan added, “In the future, whether in smartphones, automotive solutions, or emerging smart terminal devices, we will see more stable incremental growth that will inject long-term momentum into our business growth.”2. On the Automotive Solution Business: The "Second Growth Engine" Solidifies, with 2026 Revenue Expected to Grow by 15%-20%Through the acquisition of Premium Sound Solutions (PSS), AAC has rapidly established a core platform in the smart automotive solution sector, successfully developing a second growth engine for the Company.Dan revealed that following the acquisition of PSS in 2024 and the acquisitions of Chuguang and PSG in 2025, the Company has become a comprehensive system-level automotive solution provider, expanding its business from smartphones into the entire automotive domain. In 2025, the Company’s automotive acoustics business recorded revenue of RMB 4.12 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.1%. This performance has positioned AAC among the world’s top-tier automotive audio system suppliers, second only to industry leaders such as Harman and Bose.Regarding the 2026 outlook for the automotive acoustics business, Dan stated that the segment is expected to maintain high double-digit growth of 15% to 20%, while keeping the gross margin stable. The Company’s automotive solution business has now achieved broad customer coverage both in China and overseas, including multiple Asian markets. This diversified regional presence is expected to provide steady and reliable support for both revenue and profit growth.3. On AI Sectors: Heat Dissipation Business Poised to Reach RMB 10 Billion, with Explorations in XR and Robotics Opening New FrontiersIf optics and automotive solutions represent the Company’s “core growth engines,” then business lines such as heat dissipation, robotics, and XR optical waveguides constitute the high-potential “reserves” for AAC’s future development. Dan noted that the Company’s revenue in the past was primarily driven by traditional mobile phone acoustics and haptics business. However, following years of strategic transformation and amid broader industry technological shifts, AI has become the fundamental driver underpinning the sustained growth of the Company’s multiple product lines.“For example, the rapid growth of the heat dissipation business is mainly attributable to AI-driven demand. Similarly, our initiatives in robotics and AR glasses are also propelled by AI,” Dan explained. In 2025, the Company’s heat dissipation business recorded revenue of RMB 1.67 billion, grew by 410.9% year-on-year. This performance has further solidified the Company’s position as one of the leading global suppliers in consumer electronics heat dissipation. “As AI technology continues to advance, related application scenarios are expected to extend from smartphones to a wider range of devices, including laptops and tablets, generating strong momentum for the Company’s overall growth.”The acquisition of Yuandi Technology, with more notable strategic significance, has allowed AAC to formally enter the data center liquid cooling, AI server heat dissipation, and high-end thermal solutions sectors, and extend its capabilities from “terminal-side heat dissipation” to “AI infrastructure heat dissipation” creating a synergistic “terminal + infrastructure” development model. Dan stated clearly, “Leveraging the substantial market opportunities across multiple sectors, our heat dissipation business has the potential to reach and even exceed a scale of RMB 10 billion in the coming years, positioning it as a highly promising and important growth engine for the Group.”In the XR optical waveguide field, through the acquisition of Dispelix — a global leader in AR diffractive waveguide technology — AAC has become one of the few industry players with vertically integrated capabilities spanning optical waveguide design and manufacturing. The Company can now offer one-stop full display module solutions, encompassing optical waveguides, optical engines, push-pull lenses, eye-tracking systems, and electrochromic technology. AAC is expected to become the world’s first supplier to achieve mass production of SRG full-color optical waveguides for leading customers in 2026. Dan disclosed, “The per-unit value in the optics business can reach USD 100–200. These initiatives are expected to deliver clear mass production and shipment opportunities within the next two to three years, continuously generating significant value in revenue, profit, and long-term market expansion.”Regarding the robotics field, Dan pointed out that the industry’s market definition, application scenarios, and product forms are still evolving and remain in a diverse exploratory stage. AAC has long maintained deep involvement and has established comprehensive layouts across multiple core areas, including acoustics, motors, optics, structural components, and electromechanics, laying a solid foundation to capture opportunities as the sector matures. “For example, our dexterous hand products for humanoid robots have already entered mass production and shipments, generating over RMB 100 million in revenue last year. In addition, we are co-developing the first motor, as a core component for AI hardware devices, with our customers. Overall, the Company has built deep cooperation with leading domestic and international customers, and we believe we will become an important player in this field in the future.”4. Strategic Review: Combining Technology Reuse with Ecosystem Construction to Anchor Long-Term GrowthIn AAC’s three-decade development journey, the core driver behind its sustained growth has consistently been rooted in the dual logic of technology reuse and ecosystem construction.Leveraging its long-established, robust technological foundations in micro-acoustics, precision optics, electromagnetic drives, sensors, and semiconductors, the Company has successfully upgraded and expanded its business, with its focus shifting from mobile phones and consumer electronics to emerging high-growth areas, including AI terminals, robotics, XR, smart vehicles, and data center infrastructure. This approach enables its core technological capabilities to be efficiently migrated and continuously amplified across diverse application scenarios.This development model — “upgrading application scenarios without changing underlying technology” — not only ensures the stability and success rate of business transformation but also allows the Company to rapidly address capability gaps through strategic ecosystem integration, such as the acquisitions of Dongyang, PSS, Chuguang, and Yuandi. Together, these efforts have created a virtuous cycle of “technology–product–scenario–customer.”The clear pathway to realizing this cycle was articulated by Dan in her outlook: Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, AAC will position itself as a “builder of AI perception infrastructure,” deepen cross-business synergy and full-scenario coverage, accelerate its expansion into the “AI blue ocean,” strengthen its global footprint, and continue riding the wave of industry development to achieve new heights.source as Forbes（https://www.forbeschina.com/investment/71292） Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
