Arizona Tribune - Xcelerate Issues Year-End Update on Strategic Focus and 2026 Plans

As 2025 comes to a close, Xcelerate has taken decisive steps to align its resources with the Company's long-term objectives. By the start of the year, the Company determined that while ESN Group had an excellent product line, it required significantly more cash than Xcelerate was able to provide in the short term, which resulted in declining revenues. Management reviewed the Company's priorities and how the Company's limited resources could be best utilized. As a result, in the third quarter, Xcelerate sold its interest in the ESN Group in an all-cash transaction .As a result of this transaction the Company was also able to remove merchant finance debt attributable to ESN from its balance sheet, strengthening its financial position and allowing Xcelerate to refocus on its core mission.

2025 has also been a period of renewed emphasis on AfiyaSasa Africa, LLC, re-centering on the Company's original goal of launching an AI-assisted patient portal in Tanzania. Xcelerate has developed a modified business plan that includes the acquisition of a clinical care setting in which the relevant technology can be trialed, tested, and applied. Once verified, the combination of proceeds from the ESN sale and funds raised in a private placement positions the Company to implement this program in early 2026.

"AI is at the heart of what we do," said Mike O'Shea, Xcelerate's CEO. "AfiyaSasa is designed to connect patients in remote areas to clinicians using AI-assisted diagnostics and virtual care. This approach not only expands access to quality healthcare but also creates scalable opportunities for sustainable revenue."

In parallel, Xcelerate continued progress on its medical device patents, including the patent process for its Surgical Tool with Targeting Guidance, and filed additional applications in the EU and China. These efforts reflect the Company's continued commitment to innovation and intellectual property development.

To better communicate progress and build transparency, Xcelerate is actively working on a digital strategy to enhance shareholder and stakeholder engagement. This includes updating the corporate website to highlight AI initiatives, AfiyaSasa project milestones, and patent developments. The Company is also increasing its presence on social media by sharing insights, progress updates, and thought leadership from its leadership team to keep shareholders, partners, and the broader community informed and engaged. Xcelerate will also be establishing a dedicated Investor Relations email at [email protected] to streamline communication with shareholders.

Looking ahead to 2026, Xcelerate will focus on carefully advancing its key initiatives, with particular attention to the AfiyaSasa platform. The Company plans to take measured steps toward implementation, testing the technology in clinical settings and refining operations as needed. With a strengthened balance sheet and recent financing in place, Xcelerate will continue progress on AI-driven healthcare solutions while keeping shareholders informed through regular updates, enhanced digital engagement, and transparent communication.
