Volatus Aerospace Obtains Industry First Special Flight Operations Certificate for Beyond Visual Line of Sight Operations without a Visual Observer

Volatus Aerospace Corp.

Volatus Aerospace Corp. (TSXV: VOL) (OTCQB: VLTTF) ("Volatus" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it is the first company in Canada to receive a Beyond Visual Line Of Sight ("BVLOS") Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) from Transport Canada to operate a remotely piloted aircraft (RPAS, drone) without a visual observer, using a ground-based optical detect and avoid system. This is a key milestone in the commercialization of the AERIEPORT nesting station and a necessary and important step toward commercializing drone technologies at scale in Canada. Volatus is experienced in BVLOS operations and currently holds authorization to conduct BVLOS training at several locations across Canada. This new SFOC will enable Volatus Aerospace to remotely pilot a Volatus M300 drone integrated with FlightOps’ remote operations software and a CASIA G Optical Detect and Avoid system from IRIS Automation at the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport. “An SFOC is an authorization, usually on a one-time, single location, or risk level basis given by Transport Canada to operate above and beyond current regulations,” explained Richard Podolski, VP of Flight Operations for Volatus Aerospace. “It’s a very well regulated and safety-oriented method for developing new functionality in an industry or accomplishing what nobody thought to write rules for.” “For drone technology to be successful long-term, it needs to improve upon current methods and applications, be affordable, and scalable,” stated Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace. “Today’s achievement has broken through a major barrier and opened the door to commercial opportunities that have only been dreamed about but until today have been just out of reach. Remote operations beyond visual line of sight are now a reality for Volatus. Commercialization begins now.” About Volatus Aerospace: Volatus Aerospace Corp. is a leading provider of integrated drone solutions throughout Canada, the United States, Latin America and most recently in Europe. Operating a vast pilot network, Volatus serves commercial and defense markets with imaging and inspection, security and surveillance, equipment sales and support, training, and design, manufacturing, and R&D. Through its subsidiary Volatus Aviation, Volatus carries on the business of aircraft management, charter sales, and cargo services using piloted, remotely piloted, and autonomous aircraft.

News Release

ToT Partners’ William Tillman named to board of The Flossy Organization

ToT Partners

ToT Partners, a recently launched holding company that owns and operates businesses in the consumer and banking sectors, today announced that its founder and chairman, William Tillman, has been appointed to the advisory board of The Flossy Organization, an advocacy group for Canarsie, a neighborhood in Brooklyn. Canarsie is a majority-Black residential neighborhood in southeast Brooklyn, and The Flossy Organization’s mission is to fight for economic development, resources, and policy action that improve the neighborhood while maintaining its character, history, and dignity. As reported in the local news outlet Brownstoner, The Flossy Organization was recently central to efforts to successfully oppose a proposed pesticide storage facility near the neighborhood’s southern border. The city eventually opted to use the facility for another project. This work is indicative of what The Flossy Organization does and will continue to do on a regular basis: Being an advocate for and ally to the people and businesses that call Canarsie home. Tillman brings to the Organization’s advisory board extensive experience on Wall Street and relationships with influential figures in politics, finance, and business. His firm, ToT Partners, is a parent company with a plethora of business and philanthropic interests. It currently operates a merchant banking and private equity arm, DB Capital, and a luxurious private dining business, Taste of Tillman. It is also aligned with The ToT Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit that connects Black individuals to business opportunities, resources, and mentorship. The Foundation’s financial support comes from Wall Street firms, hedge funds, private equity funds, and well-known hospitality businesses, and it is hosting its inaugural gala Sept. 11 at Rainbow Room in New York City. Said Tillman: “Economic justice isn’t pulling Black kids out of a neighborhood like Canarsie and getting them into Harvard and then on staff at Goldman Sachs. Economic justice is convincing, sometimes compelling, those with power and generational wealth to use it to build up communities that have historically been excluded, exploited, and disinvested. In communities that are rich with history and dignity but tragically don’t get their piece of the economic pie. In communities like Canarsie, East Flatbush, and Bed Stuy. That’s what I’m excited to be a part of as a board member of Flossy.” About ToT Partners ToT Partners was founded by William Nicholas Tillman in 2022. The name of the conglomerate embodies what the founder takes pride in: Being a polymath and illuminating ambiguity through business and philanthropy ventures.

The Association of Professional Builders Identifies Key Warning Signs for Residential Home Builders

Association of Professional Builders

The Association of Professional Builders (APB), a leading business coaching service for custom home builders, with members in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, today identified five key warning signs that indicate a residential building company may be headed for trouble. In light of the issues being faced by Australian home builders – and a possible recession that US economists are warning – now is the optimal time for residential home builders to take stock of their businesses and cash flow to avoid facing a risky financial future. “The last 12 months have been tough on builders,” said Russ Stephens, co-founder of APB. “Around 80% of them are using their own funds in order to complete a client's home. Some of the building companies we’re seeing in the US are struggling to implement cost escalation clauses which is causing a myriad of issues. If their losses continue unchecked, they will eventually be unable to pay their bills and will be forced to call the liquidators in.” This trend may be migrating to the US market soon, if builders miss these key warning signs. Consumers are already being hit hard by inflation and interest rate rises and are not in the position to cover the increase in the cost of construction materials. APB has identified five stages of decline that residential home builders need to be aware as they are managing their day-to-day operations: Potential loss on a contract: APB warns that this is stage 0, the first sign of trouble. This happens when a building company has an unprofitable contract that has not yet started. An unprofitable contract is one where the gross profit on the contract does not cover the proportional company overheads. If a building company, for example, completes 12 projects a year and has annual overheads of $1 million, they will need to generate $83,333 in gross profit from each job to break even. If the company does not reach that gross profit target, which can be seriously eroded by the rising construction costs, then they lose money. APB is encouraging builders to reprice their projects before construction commences to make sure they are still profitable; if not, it’s important to renegotiate with the client. If the client won’t renegotiate, then APB encourages the home builder professional to seek expert legal advice from a construction lawyer that will act in their best interests. Actual loss on a contract: This stage is one where the building company for whatever reason has lost money on a project once their proportional fixed expenses were factored in. APB notes that this is possible even when the price of construction materials are not increasing. Often, it can be a result of estimating errors or prolonged delays which increase the proportional fixed expenses or errors and omissions in the plans and specifications. Also as a result of the rise in the cost of construction during 2021, many building companies ended up losing money on a project even before their proportional fixed expenses were factored in. Company lost money: If proportional fixed expenses were not factored in, the next stage of decline for a building company is an overall loss from all of their activity during a financial or calendar year. When a business loses money, they begin eroding their reserves which also reduces their working capital, thus making the business even more vulnerable to future black swan events. This is where additional funding in the form of a loan or an injection of shareholder capital in order for it to continue trading. Speed is the most important tool here. How badly affected the company is by a trading loss depends on the size of its loss versus the size of the reserves. APB warns that this stage can be deceiving for builders as the company may still be cash-flow positive. Most building companies can absorb a trading loss while still paying their suppliers and subcontractors, however, they are dipping into their reserves at this point. If a company loses enough money to wipe out its entire reserves in a single year, or it accumulates losses over multiple years that exceed its reserves, then it will begin the journey into negative equity. Negative equity: At this stage, building companies are extremely high risk and vulnerable because their liabilities exceed their assets. They are able to still trade legally as they have a positive cash flow which allows them to pay their suppliers and subcontractors on time classifying them as trading solvent. In reality, they are operating as Ponzi schemes, using cash inflows from project A to pay creditors on project B. When a building company reaches this stage, all too often the company executives bury their heads in the sand and work flat out in the hope they can turn things around. Lacking the financial knowledge that is needed here to understand the gravity of the situation they find themselves in is a fast deteriorating situation which can quickly spiral out of control. Insolvency: Once a company reaches this stage and is no longer able to pay their invoices on time, they are classified as insolvent. Often, companies will enter into payment plans with the tax office deferring their due dates while pouring in every cent available to them in a desperate attempt to keep their company open. Unfortunately, this is the most dire stage of decline for a building company, which could have also been avoided had they sought help and changed direction earlier. Some of the best run businesses can be caught in this as a result of fast changing market conditions and environments - ultimately resulting in a financial situation where they did not have the tools to see what’s coming. APB offers a range of builder resources to help guide companies in growing and building their companies safely and securely. Currently the company offers a range of free training including “Pricing for Profit” which includes a three-step process to help residential home builders price new home construction projects and renovations. Other free trainings include, “Systemizing A Residential Building Company,” “Growing Margins,” “Crisis Management For Custom Home Builders,” “Cash Flow Management For Custom Home Builders,” and “90 Day Planning for Builders,” among other key topics. APB encourages residential home builders to check out the free resources, and contact the company should they be in need of additional custom support and coaching.

QuantmRE partners with Texture Capital and Launches Its Blockchain-Based Real Estate Marketplace

Texture Capital

QuantmRE today announces its partnership with Texture Capital and the launch of its blockchain-based Home Equity Marketplace that allows investors -- including individuals, family offices and institutions -- to buy, sell and trade tokenized interests in the equity in residential homes, thereby enabling digital access to this asset class estimated to be over $25 trillion in size according to Freddie Mac. By partnering with Texture Capital, QuantmRE broadens its compliance capabilities via Texture’s broker-dealer and Alternative Trading System (ATS). This gives QuantmRE the regulatory readiness to launch its tokenized Home Equity Marketplace, reimagining real estate investing by making the equity in owner-occupied residential homes investible and tradable, powered by blockchain technology. Leveraging the Algorand blockchain protocol, QuantmRE’s Home Equity Marketplace allows homeowners to partner with investors via a ‘Home Equity Agreement’ – a financial structure, protected by a lien on title, that fractionalizes the current and future value of a residence. This innovative financial tool enables the homeowner to unlock equity liquidity and allows the investor to gain exposure to the future value of the property. For the homeowner, there is no loan and therefore no monthly payments, no interest rate charges and no added debt. QuantmRE’s Home Equity Marketplace enables investors to invest in fractionalized and tokenized Home Equity Agreements, where they can build, model, manage and trade personalized portfolios of the equity in hand-picked owner-occupied residential properties, taking advantage of the downside protection and leveraged upside returns offered by the Home Equity Agreement structure. Matthew Sullivan, QuantmRE’s Founder and CEO, said “We are delighted to be partnering with Texture and the important regulatory milestone that this brings, and we look forward to working closely with Texture to lead the way in making home equity more liquid, more accessible and easily tradable for everyone seeking a smarter way to invest in US residential real estate”. “QuantmRE is unique in the digital asset space”, said Richard Johnson, CEO of Texture Capital. “In a rising interest rate environment where home values have been appreciating, I believe QuantmRE is ideally positioned to take advantage of increasing demand from homeowners to find alternative, debt-free solutions to access their home equity, as well as enabling a wider range of investors to actively participate in the previously untapped real estate asset class of residential home equity”. About QuantmRE At a time when homeowners need to access cash more than ever, QuantmRE’s “Equity Freedom” program offers an alternative debt-free solution – the Home Equity Agreement. The agreement enables homeowners to receive a cash lump sum in exchange for a portion of the current and potential future value of their home without taking on any additional debt (no loans, no interest and no monthly payments). In addition to originating Home Equity Agreements, QuantmRE has developed an advanced blockchain-based Home Equity Marketplace where individuals, family offices and institutional investors can gain broad access to the multi-trillion-dollar residential real estate asset class by buying, selling and trading tokenized Home Equity Agreements. For more information, visit www.QuantmRE.com About Texture Capital Texture Capital, the blockchain powered marketplace for private capital, is a FINRA member and SEC registered broker dealer focused on digital securities. We help clients compliantly issue tokens representing equity, debt, revenue share, royalties or other investment contracts.

How This Leader in Real Estate Tokenization Can Help Close the Home Ownership Gap with Blockchain

Benzinga

Check out RealT’s geographical listings here, and click here to get started. Purchasing a home has often been regarded as a hallmark of individual success. According to research firm YouGov, 74% of Americans say they place the highest priority on owning a home, ranking it above having a successful career, owning an automobile and — surprisingly — retiring. Providing a perfect roadmap to discontent are the harsh realities obstructing the millennial’s path toward this goal. According to a 2019 study, nearly 70% of millennials say they cannot afford a house because of rising prices. This dream-shattering reality is explained — or perhaps, compounded — by the findings that housing prices have increased by 120% since 1965 and the generational wealth gap has significantly expanded over the last couple of years. While one could understand millennials fuming over their real estate troubles, blockchain enthusiasts would be quick to counter this response. Specifically, for those engaged in the tokenization of real estate assets, like RealT, a convenient solution to their woes may be just around the corner. Like many other industries, blockchain has sparked ideas for innovating the real estate market through the concept of tokenization. Tokenization allows many investors to own small parcels of large investment properties through the purchase of digital tokens that are tied to these properties. According to a study by Hamburg Commercial Bank ( HCOB ), 13 American companies — including Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C) and JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE: JPM) — have already begun doing so. RealT is among those real estate tokenization pioneers providing hope for millennial homeownership — albeit in a way they might not have expected. Tokenized Real Estate With RealT According to metrics provided to Benzinga, RealT is a leader in real estate tokenization. As of June 31, RealT tells Benzinga it has reached $49 million in sales, more than 210 tokenized properties and over 920 units in areas like Detroit, Chicago and Cleveland. Compared to other operators in tokenized assets, RealT boasts a large cohort of investors who act incredibly quickly. In fact, RealT tells Benzinga that over 9,820 investors from 135 countries have used RealT to purchase tokenized real estate. Given RealT’s extreme accessibility and the power of crowdsourcing, the average time of sale for a $1 million property listed on RealT is reportedly just six minutes! These incredible numbers reflect the excitement surrounding tokenized real estate as the future of property ownership. Throughout this sector, and within the decentralized finance (DeFi) sphere, the RealT brand has achieved worldwide notoriety, energizing and attracting an online community of 57,000 members. In less than three years, RealT has achieved the following milestones: Q3 2019: The first worldwide standardized tokenization platform Q4 2019: World’s first integration of security tokens on a decentralized exchange Q4 2020: Multichain with the launch on Gnosis Chain (then xDai) Q1 2021: Launch of the "re-investment" property Q4 2021: Launch of payments with Request Network Q1 2022: Launch of RMM, the world’s first real estate token-lending platform, through a partnership with Commutatio Holdings Ltd, a British Virgin Islands holding company established to operate RMM. RealT’s achievements with tokenized assets have reportedly made it the second-largest protocol on the Gnosis Chain, and the 133rd most important protocol in DeFi, according to the Defi Lama. Since the launch of the RealToken platform in February of last year, token owners have risen from 59 holders to 5,180, an increase of roughly 8,680%.

Companies were only considered if they are a Great Place to Work-Certified™ organization and headquartered in the New York metropolitan statistical area. Great Place to Work is the only company culture award in America that selects winners based on how fairly employees are treated. Companies are assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is. “As employee demands and expectations have dramatically changed over the past year, these companies have risen to the occasion—and it’s not been easy,” says Kim Peters, executive vice president of global recognition, research & strategic partnerships at Great Place to Work. “Their hard work and dedication to listen to and care for the well-being of every employee, and support them in a way that’s meaningful to all, is the standard all organizations will be held to.” In addition to being honored as a Best Workplace in New York in 2022 and 2021, VTS has also been recognized as one of Fortune’s Best Workplaces for Millennials and named to Built In’s Best Places to Work 2021, the Forbes Cloud 100, and Glassdoor’s Highest Rated Cloud Companies List.
