Daily Journal Corporation Provides Additional Public Access to its New Form 8-K

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Daily Journal Corporation is issuing this press release to provide additional public access to the Form 8-K it filed earlier today with the Securities and Exchange Commission in response to the continued interest in our software accounting from Buxton Helmsley USA, Inc. and its Chairman and CEO, Alexander E. Parker. Below is the text of our Form 8-K. Item 8.01 Other Events. In July, the Company started receiving letters from an investment adviser called Buxton Helmsley USA, Inc. ('BuHeUI') alleging that the Company has been improperly expensing its software development costs and should be capitalizing them under the accounting requirements set forth in ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed ('ASC 985-20'). According to BuHeUI and its Chairman and CEO, Alexander E. Parker, switching from expensing development costs to capitalizing them would unlock value for Company shareholders, and he demanded a 15% share in the appreciation of the Company's stock price as compensation for his idea. He pointed to Tyler Technologies and Galaxy Gaming as proof that other software companies 'properly comply' with ASC 985-20 by capitalizing their development costs. Simply stated, Mr. Parker got it wrong. Following receipt of his initial letters, the Audit Committee of the Board re-reviewed the applicable accounting guidance and the Company's practices with its accountants and with third party experts. All agree that the Company has been correctly accounting for its software development costs in accordance with ASC 950-20. To understand Mr. Parker's mistake requires a brief explanation of the relevant accounting standards. Historically, most software companies accounted for development costs under ASC 985-20, which establishes the requirements a company must meet to capitalize those costs when associated with software to be sold or licensed to a third party. A company is only allowed to capitalize costs incurred during the period after the technological feasibility of the software has been established and prior to its general release. Ironically, one of the main accounting concerns in the past had been that companies would capitalize too much and too soon, because it helped improve their short-term earnings by reducing expenses and moving them to the balance sheet (or, as Mr. Parker might say, 'unlocking value'). Moreover, the process of software development has substantially evolved at many companies since the initial ASC 985-20 guidance was issued, with most companies now applying an agile software development methodology that emphasizes iterative development in a continually changing environment. This results in the capitalization window between technological feasibility and general release to be so short that few companies incur any material amount of costs that would qualify for capitalization. The Company's software products and our agile development efforts are in that camp. In addition, with the growing popularity of software-as-a-service (or 'SaaS'), companies that make predominately SaaS software take the position that their software is being developed for 'internal use' because their customers are purchasing access to a hosted product, rather than actually receiving the software. This is important because 'internal use' software is accounted for under an entirely different accounting standard : ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software ('ASC 350-40'). You should expect to see more capitalized costs for a SaaS company taking this position because ASC 350-40 provides that eligible costs can be capitalized over a typically much longer development window compared to the short window for 'external use' software (like ours) under ASC 985-20. Neither Galaxy Gaming nor Tyler Technologies expressly states in its public filings which accounting guidance it used to capitalize costs, and we suspect Mr. Parker simply assumed it was ASC 985-20. He appears to have been mistaken. Galaxy refers in its 10-K to ' internally developed software ' in its consolidated statements of cash flows, and Tyler refers in its 10-K to the 'amortization of software development for internal use ' in its G&A expenses. This means, in both cases, that they are likely capitalizing costs for 'internal use software' under ASC 350-40 – not ASC 985-20. And, yes, the Company does offer some SaaS enhancements to our eSeries products, but the Company would not qualify for ASC 350-40 treatment because the vast majority of our software continues to be licensed to customers (almost entirely courts and government agencies) to whom we deliver the software, with those customers arranging for hosting based on their own security and operational needs. Lest there be any doubt, the Company has and will continue to expense development costs when that is the proper thing to do, and it will capitalize any such costs in the future when that is the proper thing to do. It will also disclose any specific R&D costs separate and apart from other expenses, if material. Mr. Parker may never admit that he was wrong or that he simply misunderstood why other software companies are capitalizing development costs, given that they appear to be using a completely different accounting standard than the one cited in each of his nine letters so far. At a minimum, he should be embarrassed for demanding compensation from the Company, alleging securities law violations, calling for the resignations of the CEO and CFO, insisting on being given two Board seats, reporting the Company to the enforcement division of the SEC, referring the Company's auditor to the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, alleging wild conflicts of interest by our directors, and falsely claiming defamation – all based on a mistake. Mr. Munger once offered some sage advice that may be useful for Mr. Parker, who is currently advertising on his website for new investors to entrust their money with him and his approach: 'There's no way that you can live an adequate life without many mistakes. In fact, one trick in life is to get so you can handle mistakes. Failure to handle psychological denial is a common way for people to go broke.' On behalf of its shareholders, the Company calls on Mr. Parker to do the right thing and end his misplaced, self-serving attacks on the Company and its people, so that they can focus their attention on unlocking actual business value. # Contact: Jessica Marshall (778) 716-6706 Disclaimer: The above press release comes to you under an arrangement with GlobeNewswire.

Global Myeloproliferative Disorder Treatment Market is Expected to Showcase an Incremental Growth at a CAGR of ~5% by 2032

New York, USA, Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global Myeloproliferative Disorder Treatment Market is Expected to Showcase an Incremental Growth at a CAGR of ~5% by 2032 | DelveInsight The demand for treatments targeting myeloproliferative disorders is rising sharply, propelled by several key factors that underscore the market's robust growth potential. Chief among these is the growing incidence of MPDs, largely attributed to an aging global population, greater awareness of the disease, and enhanced diagnostic tools. Additionally, breakthroughs in molecular diagnostics and the emergence of targeted therapies have transformed the treatment landscape, allowing for earlier diagnosis, more accurate treatment strategies, and better patient outcomes. DelveInsight's Myeloproliferative Disorder Treatment Market Insights report provides the current and forecast market analysis, individual leading myeloproliferative disorder treatment companies' market shares, challenges, myeloproliferative disorder treatment market drivers, barriers, trends, and key market myeloproliferative disorder treatment companies in the market. Key Takeaways from the Myeloproliferative Disorder Treatment Market Report As per DelveInsight estimates, North America is anticipated to dominate the global myeloproliferative disorder treatment market during the forecast period. In the drug class segment of the myeloproliferative disorder treatment market, the JAK inhibitors (JAKis) category accounted for the largest market share in 2024. Notable myeloproliferative disorder treatment companies such as Novartis AG, Incyte Corporation, Bristol Myers Squibb, CTI BioPharma, GSK, PharmaEssentia, Shire, Pfizer, Takeda, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Merck, and several others are currently operating in the myeloproliferative disorder treatment market. and several others are currently operating in the myeloproliferative disorder treatment market. In September 2023, GSK announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved OJJAARA (momelotinib) for the treatment of adults with intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis, including both primary myelofibrosis and secondary forms arising from polycythaemia vera or essential thrombocythaemia, who also have anaemia. To read more about the latest highlights related to the myeloproliferative disorder treatment market, get a snapshot of the key highlights entailed in the Global Myeloproliferative Disorder Treatment Market Report Myeloproliferative Disorder Treatment Overview Myeloproliferative disorders are a group of rare blood cancers characterized by the abnormal production of blood cells in the bone marrow. Treatment approaches for MPDs primarily focus on controlling symptoms, reducing the risk of complications such as thrombosis, and slowing disease progression. Therapies may include medications like hydroxyurea or interferon-alpha to suppress overactive bone marrow function, and low-dose aspirin to reduce clotting risks. In patients with polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia, therapeutic phlebotomy or platelet-lowering agents may also be employed to maintain optimal blood counts. More advanced or high-risk cases, such as those progressing to myelofibrosis or acute leukemia, may require targeted therapies like JAK inhibitors, which help manage symptoms like splenomegaly and constitutional complaints. In selected younger or high-risk patients, allogeneic stem cell transplantation remains the only potentially curative option, though it carries significant risks. Supportive care, including blood transfusions and management of anemia or bleeding, is also essential to improve patient quality of life. Treatment is usually individualized based on disease subtype, risk stratification, and patient-specific factors such as age and comorbidities. Myeloproliferative Disorder Treatment Market Insights North America dominated the myeloproliferative disorder treatment market in 2024. This leadership is largely due to the high incidence of disorders like polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and myelofibrosis, along with widespread awareness of these conditions among both healthcare professionals and patients. The region also benefits from active research and development efforts and frequent product launches by leading companies in the myeloproliferative disorder space. The chronic nature of chronic myeloid leukemia and related neoplasms necessitates continuous treatment and monitoring, boosting the adoption of targeted therapies. Given the rarity of these disorders among younger populations, the emphasis is on adult and elderly patient care, which is supported by improvements in diagnostic tools and therapeutic approaches. Further driving market expansion are new product introductions by major industry players. A significant example is the FDA's approval of OJJAARA (momelotinib) in September 2023. Developed by GSK plc, Ojjaara is indicated for adults with intermediate- or high-risk myelofibrosis, including both primary and secondary forms (post-PV or post-ET), particularly in patients with anemia. This once-daily oral therapy is a JAK1/JAK2 and ACVR1 inhibitor, offering a unique mechanism of action that targets both the disease and anemia symptoms. Taken together, these factors are expected to significantly propel the growth of the myeloproliferative disorder treatment market in North America from 2025 through 2032. To know more about why North America is leading the market growth in the myeloproliferative disorder treatment market, get a snapshot of the Myeloproliferative Disorder Treatment Market Outlook Myeloproliferative Disorder Treatment Market Dynamics The myeloproliferative disorder treatment market is shaped by a complex interplay of clinical, regulatory, and commercial factors. MPDs, including polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and myelofibrosis, are chronic hematological malignancies characterized by abnormal proliferation of blood cells. The market is witnessing steady growth due to the increasing prevalence of these disorders globally, especially among the aging population. Rising awareness among healthcare professionals and patients has led to improved diagnosis rates, which in turn is driving demand for effective treatment options. A major dynamic influencing the market is the advancement in targeted therapies and biologics. JAK inhibitors, particularly ruxolitinib and fedratinib, have become central to MPD management, especially for myelofibrosis. These therapies have shown significant efficacy in symptom control and spleen size reduction. However, unmet needs remain, especially in patients who are refractory to JAK inhibitors or who experience adverse events, prompting ongoing research into novel agents, including BET inhibitors, telomerase inhibitors, and combination regimens. Pharmaceutical companies are investing heavily in R&D to diversify and strengthen their MPD pipelines. Regulatory support and accelerated drug approvals have also played a pivotal role in shaping the treatment landscape. Several orphan drug designations and fast-track approvals have encouraged innovation in this niche segment. Additionally, strategic collaborations between biotech firms and large pharmaceutical companies are fueling the development and commercialization of advanced therapeutics. However, the high cost of novel treatments and limited access in low- and middle-income countries remain critical challenges, potentially hampering equitable market growth. Another key factor is the expansion of diagnostic capabilities and companion diagnostics. As precision medicine gains ground, genetic and molecular profiling of MPD patients is increasingly guiding treatment decisions. This trend supports the uptake of targeted therapies but also necessitates sophisticated diagnostic infrastructure, which is unevenly distributed across regions. North America dominates the market due to its robust healthcare infrastructure, higher awareness levels, and favorable reimbursement policies, while Asia-Pacific is expected to exhibit the fastest growth due to rising healthcare investments and expanding patient populations. Lastly, the MPD treatment market is characterized by a relatively slow patient turnover and chronic disease progression, which influences long-term drug adherence and revenue models. While current therapies focus on symptom control and disease stabilization, curative treatments are still elusive. This underscores the importance of continuous innovation and the development of disease-modifying agents. As the understanding of MPD pathophysiology deepens and new targets are identified, the market is poised for transformation with the potential emergence of next-generation therapies that could significantly alter disease outcomes.
