Proceeds from the sale will be used for general corporate purposes, with a focus towards reinvestment in the Company's oil and gas operations. Revenues from the divested business, which was represented as the Company's Contract Drilling segment, totaled approximately $3,162,000 for the trailing-twelve-months ended December 31, 2024.
Strategic Rationale
This transaction represents a further step in Barnwell's plan for streamlining its holding company operations, simplifying its corporate and accounting structure. This transaction will allow Barnwell's Board to proceed with its plans to meaningfully decrease general and administrative expenses and public company costs, including implementing such steps as transitioning personnel to Calgary or elsewhere, reducing the Company's legacy footprint in Hawaii.
The sale of Water Resources simplifies the equity story for Barnwell as investors will be able to focus on the significant opportunities the Company has identified in its oil and natural gas business. The combination of the proceeds from the sale of Water Resources and anticipated holding company savings also further improves Barnwell's financial position and balance sheet, which has no bank debt.

Key Findings
<ul>
<li>The publication describes CD388 and its potential for universal activity across influenza A and B viruses in cellular and animal models.
<ul>
<li>Administration of CD388 resulted in the following:
<ul>
<li>Potent, universal activity against all influenza A and B virus strains, including high pathogenicity strains like H5N1, also known as avian influenza or bird flu, and strains that are resistant to approved neuraminidase inhibitors</li>
<li>Low potential for resistance development</li>
<li>Efficacy at similar exposures in immune-competent and immune-compromised lethal challenge models in mice demonstrating that efficacy is driven predominantly by the intrinsic antiviral activity of CD388</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
CD388 is currently under clinical evaluation in the ~5000 patient Phase 2b NAVIGATE trial, evaluating CD388 for the single-dose prevention of seasonal influenza in healthy unvaccinated adult subjects.

Revelation anticipates demonstrating the same protective effect in patients treated with Gemini in its Phase 1b clinical study, which will provide evidence of the potential efficacy of Gemini in the Company's target indications.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
n this study, human PBMCs were primed with either Gemini or placebo followed by challenge with clinically relevant promoter molecules of inflammation including high mobility box protein-1 (HMGB-1) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro. HMGB-1 is an endogenous damage associated molecular pattern (DAMP) that is generated during tissue injury (e.g. during surgery) which drives the inflammatory response. LPS is an exogenous pathogen associated molecular pattern (PAMP) that is generated from a bacterial infection and drives the inflammatory response associated with infection (e.g. fever).
After exposure of Gemini-primed PMBCs to either HMGB-1 or LPS, levels of multiple proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines including IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-1 Receptor Antagonist, and IL-10 were measured. Priming with Gemini significantly decreased proinflammatory cytokines and significantly increased anti-inflammatory cytokines, relative to placebo.&nbsp;

Jameson Lopp, chief security officer at Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) custody firm Casa and a noted technologist, opposed the use of quantum computers to recover lost BTCs on Sunday and instead proposed burning them to uphold the protocol&#8217;s integrity.
What Happened: In a blog <a href="https://blog.lopp.net/against-quantum-recovery-of-bitcoin/">post</a>, Lopp envisioned a scenario where the Bitcoin network would undergo a quantum resistance upgrade and discussed what should ideally be done with quantum-vulnerable coins and coins that have been hacked.
&#8220;Allowing quantum recovery of Bitcoin is tantamount to wealth redistribution,&#8221; Lopp argued. &#8220;What we&#8217;d be allowing is for Bitcoin to be redistributed from those who are ignorant of quantum computers to those who have won the technological race to acquire quantum computers.&#8221;
He further added that allowing a quantum adversary to gain control of others&#8217; funds would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/12/36149260/not-your-keys-not-your-wallet-elon-musk-adds-to-blocks-bitkey-buzz-as-jack-dorsey-says-mov">violate</a> the &#8220;Not your keys, not your coins&#8221; thesis and weaken the fundamental principles of cryptocurrencies. Moreover, if the entity exploits vulnerable addresses, it would erode trust in Bitcoin as a trusted store of value.
To avoid this, Lopp suggested alerting users that vulnerable funds would be burned or frozen after a specified date. This, according to him, would fasten migration to quantum-resistant addresses.
&#8220;Allowing vulnerable users to delay upgrading indefinitely will result in more laggards, leaving the network more exposed when quantum tech becomes available,&#8221; Lopp stated.

Why It Matters: The debate around quantum computing and its potential threat to Bitcoin has been ongoing. 
Last year, Google&#8217;s new &#8220;Willow&#8221; quantum computing chip <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42420845/googles-quantum-willow-chip-lightyears-from-cracking-bitcoin-expert">sparked concerns</a> about a powerful computer potentially breaking through the apex cryptocurrency&#8217;s encryption, although some experts stated that this was still &#8220;lightyears&#8221; away.
Moreover, a study suggested that Bitcoin might need to undergo a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42546731/bitcoin-could-require-over-300-days-of-downtime-to-prepare-it-for-the-quantum-era-shows-study-amid-google-willow-chip-concern"> costly and time-consuming update</a> process to ward off the threat of quantum computing in the future. 
The study estimated that a protocol update to protect Bitcoin from quantum computing threats would require taking the cryptocurrency offline for about 76 days if 100% of the bandwidth is committed to the process. If only 25% of the bandwidth is allowed, the update could take nearly 305 days or 10 months.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $83,275.88, down 1.10% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Insights From Analysts
The CEO of Creative Planning, Peter Mallouk in an X post highlighted that over the last 75 years, the intra-year market drop has been 14% on average.
&#8220;Downside volatility is the price investors pay for long-term outperformance,&#8221; he added.

Ryan Detrick of Carson Research also highlighted the historical data and underlined this was the fastest period of correction for the S&amp;P 500 after scaling a fresh high on Feb. 19. It just took the index 16 days to slip into the correction territory.

According to the Panic/Euphoria analysis model shared by Jay Kaeppel, the senior market analyst at SentimenTrader, the S&amp;P 500's decline was still not flashing a buy signal. However, from this point, investors could &#8220;Start looking for a buy signal,&#8221; at the current levels.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) executive reveals how Facebook&#8217;s massive campaign to promote Free Basics in India was ultimately undone by a single click.
What Happened: In "Careless People," a memoir by former Facebook executive Sarah Wynn-Williams, the author said that the social media giant&#8217;s 2016 efforts to salvage its controversial Free Basics program in India were thwarted by a "low-ranking" official at the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), according to <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/new-updates/how-a-low-ranking-indian-official-outsmarted-tech-giant-mark-zuckerberg-and-his-facebook-team-with-just-a-click/articleshow/119098294.cms?from=mdr">a</a> report by the Economic Times.
"Mark [Zuckerberg] and some of the brightest tech minds in the world devoted months to this [outreach strategy], and some low-ranking official in India outfoxed them simply by clicking an opt-out box," Wynn-Williams writes in the book.

At the time, Facebook (now Meta) had launched a massive lobbying and public relations push to save Free Basics, a program designed to offer limited internet access for free in emerging markets.
Critics argued it violated net neutrality by giving preferential treatment to certain websites and services.
According to the memoir, Facebook used its vast platform to prompt users in India to send nearly 16 million emails to TRAI in support of Free Basics, creating what Wynn-Williams describes as "the appearance of public support."
The campaign backfired when a TRAI official—reportedly someone responsible for managing the consultation inbox—simply "opted out of all emails from Facebook," effectively shutting down the company's most aggressive lobbying tool.
With the feedback mechanism disabled, the pressure campaign lost its leverage.

Why It's Important: The book also alleges that Facebook took extraordinary measures to exert influence, including hiring an "ex-police captain" willing to "go to jail in a clash between Facebook and the Indian government," should legal tensions escalate.
Wynn-Williams quotes former COO Sheryl Sandberg in an internal email, saying, "We're lucky this is happening in a place where we have very deep senior relationships in the government, but it's still going to be hard."
Free Basics was ultimately banned in India for violating net neutrality principles.
Meta has previously denied the claims in the book, calling them "out-of-date and previously reported."
Last week, Meta won an emergency legal ruling to <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/03/44294128/meta-silences-whistleblower-who-worked-with-mark-zuckerberg-and-sheryl-sandberg-book-alleges-harassment-and-shady-china-strategy">block the promotion</a> of the memoir by Wynn-Williams. The book also alleges that the company ignored sexual harassment complaints and quietly developed censorship tools for China.
Price Action: Meta&#8217;s stock ended Friday's regular session at $607.60, gaining 2.96%. However, in after-hours trading, it dipped 0.41%. So far this year, the stock has risen 1.40%, and over the past 12 months, it has surged 22.26%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
