LOS ANGELES, Dec. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Reliant Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:RELT) soon to be ONAR Holding Corporation (“ONAR”), a growing network of highly-specialized marketing agencies, has released its Q3 Shareholder Letter along with its SEC filing of its 10-Q for the last quarter. This letter covers the results of the company’s financial progress as it continues to grow.

The letter to shareholders covers key highlights for the nine months that ended September 30, 2024 and gives a first look at the Company’s consolidated business since the reverse merger announced in Q2 2024.

“It has been quite a journey getting to this point. ONAR is now on the trajectory we envisioned when we started the reverse merger process,” said Claude Zdanow, CEO of ONAR. “We are incredibly proud of where we are today and know we have a platform set for rapid growth through the acquisitions we are targeting and our plans for organic growth.”

In alignment with its commitment to becoming a $100 million revenue company and uplisting to NASDAQ, ONAR has developed a comprehensive business plan that includes a targeted acquisition strategy for the next 18-24 months.

Additionally, ONAR will announce a new board charter to usher in an Independent (LON:) Board of Directors in Q1 of 2025. The new board and its growing investor base demonstrates the support that exists for the company’s vision and growth strategy, underscoring the shared commitment to building a premier, technology-enabled marketing powerhouse.

The shareholder letter highlights these notable achievements from Q3:

Increased Revenues: By completing the reverse merger, the Company’s consolidated revenue for the nine months ending September 30, 2024, was 57% higher than the same period last year.
Decreased Cost of Revenues: The Cost of Revenues declined by almost $250,000 as compared to the same period last year.
Increase in Cash on Hand: Cash Balance Increased by almost $.5 Million as compared to December 31, 2023.
Global Reach: Overall headcount increased globally, with 60% of the Company’s workforce being international across five continents.
Partnership for Growth and Tech Expansion: A strategic alliance was signed with iQSTEL, Inc. (OTCQX:IQST) to help iQSTEL increase its market presence and share technologies to further both companies’ businesses.

ONAR concludes the letter with enthusiasm and optimism for the future, stating its ambitious goals to expand its network of agencies in 2025.

The full shareholder letter is shared below.

Dear Shareholders,

We are excited to announce our Q3 FY-2024 results, a testament to ONAR’s extraordinary growth and strategic innovation. This quarter has solidified our position as a leader in the marketing industry, and we are eager to share the tangible progress we have made.

Recurring Revenues remained steady as Cost of Revenues declined by almost $250,000 as compared to the same period last year.
Revenues are expected to increase organically in the near future due to new contracts being negotiated.
Digital Marketing Agency Performance
- Recurring revenues remained steady, with Net Operating Income equaling ~5% of Sales. NOI is expected to increase in the near term due to new sales hires, which contributed to the reduction in NOI.
Healthcare Marketing Agency Performance
- Net Operating Income for Healthcare Marketing services was nearly 44% of Sales.

2. Interest Expense

Interest paid increased nominally as compared to the previous year as a result of financing activities to complete the reverse merger. This will be offset by an increase in Revenues in the near future, as well as liabilities that will be converted into Equity.

3. Assets and Liabilities

Cash Balance increased by almost $.5 Million as compared to December 31, 2023

4. Cash Flow and Liquidities

Financing activities provided $1.8M (Net) for the 9 months ended September 30, 2024. This provided working capital and funds for expansion and the reverse merger.

A strategic alliance was signed with iQSTEL, Inc. (OTCQX:IQST) to help iQSTEL increase its market presence and share technologies to further both companies’ businesses.
ONAR CEO Claude Zdanow attended NobleCon 2024 and showcased a glimpse into the Company’s proprietary artificial intelligence usage and how machine learning capabilities are helping shape how the company leverages data.

Trump holds victory rally in Washington ahead of inauguration

Published

By Steve Holland and Tim Reid

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President-elect Donald Trump will take a victory lap on Sunday with a campaign-style rally in Washington, D.C., a day before he is sworn in for a second term four years after losing the White House to Joe Biden.

Trump’s “Make America Great Again Victory Rally” – scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (1900 GMT) at the Capital One (NYSE:) Arena – marks his first major speech in Washington since he urged his supporters to march on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in protest against his defeat.

Thousands of people breached the building in an unsuccessful effort to prevent Congress from certifying the results. Trump has vowed to pardon many of the more than 1,500 people charged in connection with the attack.

His rally remarks, along with his inaugural address on Monday, could offer a preview of the tone he plans to adopt in the early days of his second term in office. In recent weeks, Trump has disconcerted foreign allies by musing aloud about taking over Greenland and the Panama Canal and turning Canada into a U.S. state.

The rally is likely to resemble the free-wheeling arena speeches that have been a Trump staple since his first White House campaign in 2016.

The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, who has become a close Trump confidant since spending more than $250 million to boost his campaign, is scheduled to speak at the event, along with Vice President-elect JD Vance, Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White, conservative activist Charlie Kirk and conservative commentator Megyn Kelly.

TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew also plans to attend the rally, amid uncertainty over whether Trump will take steps to rescue the app from a U.S. ban set to take effect on Sunday. Chew is expected to join other tech executives at Trump’s inauguration on Monday.

Singer and rapper Kid Rock, disco group The Village People, singer Billy Ray Cyrus and singer Lee Greenwood are all scheduled to perform at the rally.

President Joe Biden will meanwhile make his last official trip as president on Sunday to Charleston, South Carolina, to mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which is on Monday, the White House said. He will attend services and speak about King’s legacy at Royal Missionary Baptist Church.

Earlier on Sunday, Trump will participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. In the evening, he will address well-heeled supporters at a dinner in Washington.

The inauguration is scheduled for noon ET (1600 GMT) on Monday, when Trump will take the presidential oath of office inside the rotunda of the Capitol building, after the cold weather prompted organizers to move the ceremony indoors. Approximately 25,000 law enforcement personnel will be on hand to provide security.

CELH DEADLINE NOTICE: ROSEN, A GLOBAL AND LEADING LAW FIRM, Encourages Celsius Holdings, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important January 21 Deadline in Securities Class Action – CELH

Published

January 20, 2025

New York, New York–(Newsfile Corp. – January 19, 2025) – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock and sellers of puts of Celsius Holdings , Inc. (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:) between February 29, 2024 and September 4, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important January 21, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Celsius common stock or sold Celsius puts during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Celsius class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31677 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 21, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action (WA:) Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Celsius materially oversold inventory to PepsiCo (NASDAQ:), Inc. (“Pepsi”) far in excess of demand, and faced a looming sales cliff during which Pepsi would significantly reduce its purchases of Celsius products; (2) as Pepsi drew down significant amounts of inventory overstock, Celsius’ sales would materially decline in future periods, hurting Celsius’ financial performance and outlook; (3) Celsius’ sales rate to Pepsi was unsustainable and created a misleading impression of Celsius’ financial performance and outlook; (4) as a result, Celsius’ business metrics and financial prospects were not as strong as indicated in defendants’ Class Period statements; and (5) consequently, defendants’ statements regarding Celsius’ outlook and expected financial performance were false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Celsius class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31677 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

XRAY DEADLINE NOTICE: ROSEN, A TOP RANKED LAW FIRM, Encourages Dentsply Sirona Inc. Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important January 27 Deadline in Securities Class

Published

January 20, 2025

New York, New York–(Newsfile Corp. – January 19, 2025) – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Dentsply Sirona Inc. (NASDAQ: XRAY) between May 6, 2021 and November 6, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important January 27, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Dentsply Sirona common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Dentsply Sirona class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31762 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 27, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material facts necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not false and misleading. In truth, Byte aligners had been causing serious injuries to patients since at least May 2021, as revealed in backlogged injury reports that Dentsply Sirona filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) over the course of 2024. At least part of the problem was that customer service employees and overseeing dentists were incentivized to enroll contraindicated patients who had other dental issues which should have made them ineligible for Byte treatment. As a result, defendants’ positive statements concerning Byte’s customer experience, and the expansive network of dentists overseeing and controlling each customer’s treatment, were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. In addition, Dentsply Sirona concealed the fact that its high conversion rates were due to sales incentives to enroll contraindicated patients. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
