10-k filed today at the deadline. Annual Report data is available.
Mostly sellers today, but some buying at $0.0649 shows some confidence that these recent higher share prices may become the new floor.
It’s really a sale of BZWR’s whole activity, the more that I think about it—but not quite
…the Licensee will assume Business Warrior’s current customers and pay Business Warrior a license fee equal to Business Warriors employee and technology costs plus 30% of the Licensee’s Net Margin…
Here’s a fact:
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Licensee will assume Business Warrior’s current customers and pay Business Warrior a license fee equal to Business Warriors employee and technology costs plus 30% of the Licensee’s Net Margin derived from the Licensed Products each month. Business Warrior also received an initial fee of $200,000.
Annual Report delay to by April 15
On March 31, OTLC filed with the SEC, saying:
The Company is working on and unable to compile the necessary financial information required to prepare a complete filing. Thus, the Company would be unable to file the annual report in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company expects to file within the extension period.

Oncotelic Therapeutics Announces Successful Completion of Phase 1 Trial of OT-101 and IL-2, Highlights Findings at SWCR 2025 Conference
09:00 AM EDT, March 25, 2025
AGOURA HILLS, Calif., March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc (OTCQB:OTLC) ("Oncotelic", the "Company" or "We" or “Our”), ”), a leader in RNA-based therapeutics, announced today the successful completion of a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating OT-101, in combination with IL-2 for advanced or metastatic solid tumors. These results set the stage for new studies that combine OT-101,an antisense therapeutic targeting Transforming Growth Factor Beta 2 (TGFß2), with checkpoint inhibitors (“CKIs”) and recombinant IL-2 (aldesleukin) (“IL-2”).
Expert invested 20 cents to get 500 shares I guess and raised the share price from $0.0003 to $0.0004 today so far. I think we could safely say that BZWR's great start for 2025 and new partner has generated very little enthusiasm.
Another leg up coming? Share price may test a new bottom a little while longer before that happens. But, if “This partnership is poised to be a game-changer for our development programs..." according to Dr. Trieu, is true, we may see a string of new highs for OTLC.
Oncotelic Accesses Rapid IND Development Platform through Partnership with Medicilon
Press Release | 02/25/2025
AGOURA HILLS, Calif., Feb. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc. (OTCQB:OTLC). Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc., a leader in RNA-based therapeutics, including its subsidiaries (“Oncotelic”) and including Sapu Bioscience, LLC (“SAPU”), a wholly owned subsidiary of GMP Biotechnology Limited in which Oncotelic is a 45% owner, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Shanghai Medicilon Inc. (“Medicilon”) (stock code: 688202.SH). Through this collaboration, Oncotelic and SAPU will utilize Medicilon’s industry-leading rapid IND development platform to support up to 20 Investigational New Drug (IND) projects. Six of these INDs are ongoing and are focused on next-generation anticancer agents.
Oncotelic and SAPU's partnership with Medicilon is poised to significantly accelerate the development of our innovative oncology pipeline. This collaboration reflects our strategic move to strengthen our position as a leader in novel cancer therapies.
Enabling Rapid Growth: Medicilon’s integrated platform for drug discovery, pharmaceutical research, and preclinical development will expedite the regulatory pathways for Oncotelic’s and SAPU’s upcoming IND submissions.
Portfolio Expansion: This initiative will initially focus on the current six INDs but has the potential to extend up to 20 projects, reflecting the depth of Oncotelic’s and its affiliates’ R&D programs.
Dr. Vuong Trieu, Chairman and CEO of Oncotelic and SAPU, stated, “This partnership is poised to be a game-changer for our development programs. The ability to access a rapid IND-enabling platform is crucial for accelerating SAPU’s and Oncotelic’s development programs. We look forward to continued success working with Medicilon as we advance innovative anticancer agents to the clinic.”
Dr. Chen Chunlin, Founder and CEO of Medicilon, remarked, “We are excited to partner with Oncotelic and SAPU and contribute our international experience in drug R&D. We are a comprehensive, one-stop services organization, from early discovery to IND registration, built to accelerate the translation of Oncotelic and SAPU’s pipeline into new therapeutic options for patients.”
Plaid is a private company, and quite large.
The Motley Fool published an article on February 5 saying:
Visa tried to buy Plaid for $5.3 billion in 2020. It was very excited about the prospect of acquiring Plaid because it would enhance its growth by improving its fintech capabilities. However, the U.S. Justice Department blocked that deal on anticompetitive concerns.

New 8-k filed today. PayPlan licensee agreement
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 14, 2025, Business Warrior Corporation (“Business Warrior” or the “Company”) entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with an Exclusive Licensee.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Licensee will assume Business Warrior’s current customers and pay Business Warrior a license fee equal to Business Warriors employee and technology costs plus 30% of the Licensee’s Net Margin derived from the Licensed Products each month. Business Warrior also received an initial fee of $200,000.

IPSI / BZWR merger plan terminated.
Today, Edward on the BZWR board has posted:
"On January 22, 2025 Business Warrior Corporation (“BZWR”) and Innovative Payment Solutions, Inc. (“IPSI”), mutually agreed to terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 28, 2024, between them (the “Merger Agreement”). This decision reflects BZWR’s and IPSI’s shared understanding and agreement that discontinuing the merger is in the best interest of both parties."
If not fallout from the officer's resignation, maybe the share price is faltering because of the additional debt:
Business Insider, Jan. 10, 2025, 03:36 PM
...Additionally, a financing round was completed with a $125,000 convertible promissory note from an institutional investor.

The story is on a webpage that is not found from my location, so I am unable to see what is being reported. Thanks for sharing what you have seen.
This could certainly be causing the recent share price decline and heavier volume.
Down 20% so far today, but much lower volume than yesterday. Volume yesterday was greatly higher than any day in the past three years.
I scanned through and noticed a few things.
Of course, this was as of 10 months ago, except for some "subsequent events".
Assets down, liabilities up.
Sales down. Total sales at rate of under $4MM per year. Helix House sales surpassed the rest of BZWR's sales (the loan processing business).
Net loss up.
Odd that there was a very large allowance for doubtful receivables when those receivables were just a few thousand dollars. Maybe I am misunderstanding something.
Looks like there may be a company car or some other vehicle.
Claim against Timothy Li for $200,000 was settled using whatever proceeds he paid to pay BZWR creditors. No cash left over for BZWR.
No mention of possible merger with IPSI. No mention of merger being terminated, either.
I missed the 130,000 share sale yesterday.
Looks like some Expert had to pay $65 for all of those shares instead of the recent $39 they would be worth @ $0.0003/share. A 67% rise.
It is sell-your-losses season for income tax, but I think I will keep my BZWR since they still exist and might last at least until 2025 begins in two weeks. But if they do suspend operations in December, don't forget to write the shares off. The IRS doesn't like taking loss for worthless stock too late! Check with a tax professional because these rules may be complicated.
Oh..look! IPSI..may have just hit..their all-time low...
Crossing over a million or two million shares gets easier when people start giving up. I found that out with BZWR, IPSI's prospective merger partner. If IPSI/BZWR is a success, we are both evidently well-positioned. I got a few million shares of BZWR very cheap (but not nearly as cheap as where their "Expert Market" price sits today). I also have a few IPSI shares.
That said, the market for IPSI's shares is becoming even more doubtful. IPSI has said they are seeking BZWR's revenue. If IPSI is on the verge of releasing their new product, why do they need BZWR's rather puny revenue stream? But, on the positive side, BZWR says that their PayPlan's loan processing crossed 200k per month, so it seems like that's a good number of loans processed in their opinion.
Maybe together these companies will come to something. Just don't bet your whole portfolio.
Totally agree with you.
If something is expected in less than a week, you could say, "final days". "Final hours" to me and you and most people should mean no more than a day or two. But not when BZWR says it. They are so bad they even make "island time" look strictly punctual compared to them!
My mistake.
I read his post to mean $200,000 in loans processed per month. That's tiny.
But I looked again and I think he was saying 200,000 loans processed, not 200,000 dollars.
So I still had time to delete most of what I said in my post. But time ran out to edit before I could write a corrected post.
Seems very small.
There are other Fintech companies besides BZWR and IPSI.
In fact, 107 Fintech Companies and Startups to Know,
these innovative companies are at the intersection of finance and technology, written by Alyssa Schroer, is a handy list if you are beginning to tire waiting for BZWR or IPSI to come around.
Somehow BZWR and IPSI didn't get a mention.
There are many other Fintech opportunities out there. One is MoneyLion (ML), which is a large company that also did not make the list. Good price appreciation lately. Some stocks that i hold actually give a good return.
I'm not recommending any particular stock in the list or ML. But other fintechs are something to consider while we wait for BZWR to make a move.
Which will happen first?
1. New investors or lenders will fund the merger of BZWR and IPSI, or
2. BZWR and IPSI will deplete all available cash
The two companies may turn out to be a successful combination, but we have no news yet that any investor wants to fund this opportunity.
Funny thing.
IPSI has all that debt you mentioned and their shares are worth about $0.10 each.
Meanwhile, BZWR had liabilities totaling "only" about $9 million, yet their shares are in the tank at $0.0003.
Perhaps their managers are cleverer than our managers.
BZWR merger news.from the IPSI 10-Q dated 11/12/2024
I'm looking forward to this combination, even though dilution may be severe. If IPSI's concept is a good one, more capital may bring it to life and sales will follow soon after.

Some portions regarding the merger:
Merger Agreement with Business Warrior: On July 28, 2024, IPSI entered into a merger agreement with Business Warrior, which will result in Business Warrior becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of IPSI. The merger is expected to close within seven to nine months, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.
Future Outlook: Looking ahead, the company plans to continue its strategic focus on developing its IPSIPay Express joint venture and completing the merger with Business Warrior. The company aims to enhance its digital payment solutions and expand its market presence in the fintech sector. The company also intends to manage its capital efficiently by raising additional funds through equity sales and borrowing, while reducing its debt burden. The successful execution of these strategic initiatives and capital management activities is expected to position the company for sustainable growth and improved financial stability.
Merger Agreement with Business Warrior: The merger is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need for shareholder approvals and the exchange of convertible promissory notes for preferred stock. The terms of this exchange and the preferred stock remain subject to negotiation and approval, posing a risk to the consummation of the merger.
Liquidity and Capital Resources: The company has an accumulated deficit of $61.5 million and incurred negative cash flow from operations of $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The primary focus is on the IPSIPay Express joint venture, which has not yet generated revenue. The company also expects to generate revenue from Business Warrior’s product offerings following the merger, if consummated. At September 30, 2024, the company had cash of $1,033 and a working capital deficit of $10.3 million, including a derivative liability of $1.6 million. The company will need to raise significant additional funds to progress its business and complete the merger, which may result in significant dilution to stockholders.

Can anyone explain why IPSI's website ipsi.us is online with no real working content and fake testimonials? (Unless "Janice Butler" has brown hair and is also a redhead with a different face.) It is not a good look.
Good news for plaintiffs! I think I would settle quickly, too, while there was still something left on the balance sheet.
But maybe this helps to clear the way for the merger and/or survival so the thus combined executives can continue to be worthy of their salaries.
Wow! The chart on this page shows BZWR going from $0.000001 to $0.000400 yesterday. That's a rise of 400x. $1,000 would become $400,000. Too bad the Experts didn't let me buy any. It's a shame they allowed a trade of $0.000001 or $0.000102 to transact the other day. It is like stealing money from someone, although I admit the dollar amount was very small.
Ok. I used the iHub quote on this board. They show 5 zeros after the decimal point 0.000001 as the close here on your board. Your 0.000102 is a hundred times better. I will assume iHub got it wrong.
That makes the market cap around $500. Price was down 99.83% today, is the percentage I saw, too.
Too bad for that seller of 10,000 shares when no buyers are allowed. I would have paid him at least 10 cents for his 10,000 shares, but he only got 1 cent. I might have even paid a whole dollar. In fact, if an "expert" wants to contact me, the offer still stands.
On second thought, you may have been referring to IPSI shareholders, while I was focusing on BZWR shareholders. I don't know what IPSI shareholders may think about the merger, but they may indeed want the latest audited BZWR figures to make a decision. Perhaps, with the new auditors, BZWR can get the year closed by around Thanksgiving. You had a good point that I didn't see at first.
9 cents, but little volume so far. Perhaps the future dilution for the BZWR merger is priced in now. I can't see how a lengthy merger process will help things. Pessimism may grow for a while longer. After that, we may get news about how the newly combined companies are progressing.
Shareholder approval? I'm a shareholder and I would approve without seeing more figures. I suspect Rhett and his friends would approve without more audited results. This is because IPSI is probably the only lifeline that they have.
Maybe BZWR must get current on filings for some reason, but I doubt it is for shareholder approval. The shareholders aren't mutual funds or institutions.
You propose a timeline that will never end. By the time BZWR reports, another quarter will have ended and then the cycle repeats.
All BZWR needs is votes, and they can have mine.
Another annual audit? August 31 was.BZWR's year-end. Do you think IPSI will insist that BZWR will go through three more quarterly filings including an audit of fiscal '24? Many mergers go faster than this.
I don't see the point of BZWR continuing to file unless the merger fails and BZWR can continue to operate.
You say they have to file, but why? Does IPSI require it?
IPSI has traded lower lately, possibly anticipating the future dilution from the BZWR merger. If it is not doing that yet, expect the share price to get below ten cents, in my opinion.
IPSI plans to give BZWR shareholders 45% of IPSI’s outstanding shares. I assume IPSI will not do a buyback to get shares, so they would have to issue new shares. If that is true, for each 55 IPSI shares now outstanding, they would need 45 new shares to convert BZWR shares. So, that’s about an 82% growth in outstanding shares. If an IPSI share is worth $0.20, that would cut it back to around $0.12 or so.
