FRX Innovations Inc

Boston, MA – TheNewswire - December 5, 2023 – FRX Innovations, Inc. (TSXV:FRXI) (FSE:W2A) (OTC:FRXI) (“FRX” or the “Company”), a pioneer in eco-friendly flame-retardant solutions, is pleased to announce commercial product launches of new Nofia® based products by two globally recognized chemical companies, and one important regional producer, this quarter. Commercial shipments will commence this month against purchase orders, for one of these applications.  Each application is poised to significantly contribute to FRX’s projected year-over-year revenue growth for 2024. The first is expected to generate US$1M 1 in Nofia® product sales in 2024, and the others in excess of US$ 0.5M 1.  FRX expects to realize a contribution margin of about 45% over variable costs on both pieces of business. Two applications leverage the unique benefits which FRX’s Nofia ® flame retardants bring in polyurethane, targeting highly attractive markets such as Clean Energy, and Automotive.  This is yet further evidence that top chemical companies around the world, with access to all available technologies, are choosing Nofia products from FRX to meet the high-performance standards required for these markets, at a competitive cost for the benefits provided.   The third new product is being introduced by a major Asian specialty chemicals manufacturer with global leadership in polyester.  FRX delivers a range of Nofia ® products suitable for use in polyester applications, such as textiles used in transportation and hospitality markets, films used in automotive applications, films used in electronic devices and structural foam used in transportation and building and construction applications. Strong Sales Pipeline 2:  FRX’s sales pipeline consists of 237 customer projects.  Nearly 70% (187 customer projects) are less than 12 months old.  These customers are turning to FRX due to an urgency to replace their lines of legacy brominated and PFAS flame retardants, with 36% of all customer projects focused on PFAS replacement.   Marc Lebel, CEO of FRX, comments on this milestone: “FRX has developed a strong pipeline of new projects across multiple applications. These newly launched applications demonstrate the value Nofia® flame retardants bring in the market, as well as the value being delivered by our technical and commercial team.”     1) Customer provided forecast for 2024. 2) FRX estimated value of sales pipeline is calculated based on probability weighting metrics.  The size of the current sales pipeline is estimated to yield sales of US$ 146.4 M unweighted and US$ 36M when probability weighted, by 2028.  The sales pipeline is updated quarterly where new projects are added, commercial projects are taken out as well as those that have dropped out.  Due to current legislation and litigation forcing the industry away from halogenated, and PFAS flame retardants, FRX sales pipeline has see considerable growth in last 12 months.     Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.   About FRX Innovations (www.frx-innovations.com) FRX Innovations is a global manufacturing company, producing a family of sustainable flame-retardant products that serve several large markets spanning textiles, electronics, automotive, electric vehicles (EV), and medical devices.

Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation will Introduce Ventripoint's AI-Heart-Imaging Diagnostic Technology to America's Hospitals

Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd.

Toronto, Ontario – TheNewswire - December 05, 2023 – One of the United States’ leading foundations, the Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation (OHHF), has selected Ventripoint’s AI-powered heart-imaging technology as one of three artificial intelligence systems it will be presenting to U.S. hospitals. Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. (" Ventripoint " or the " Company "), (TSXV:VPT ); ( OTC:VPTDF) has pioneered an AI technology that transforms ultrasound scans into MRI-quality images of the heart in minutes, at a fraction of the cost, making it a new alternative to MRI heart scans.   Ventripoint’s FDA-cleared AI-heart-imaging technology can be easily used with all brands of cardiac ultrasound equipment. Technicians and medical staff can be trained on the unit in approximately two hours. “We think Ventripoint is a game-changer for children with heart disease,” said Beth Rumack, the Chief Operating Officer of the OHHF. “You no longer need to take a child down to an MRI suite, which entails a whole team of technicians and often means having to put the child under anesthesia, so they don’t move during the MRI scan.   “With Ventripoint, you just put a sensor on the child’s chest,” added Rumack, who is also a cardiac nurse practitioner and former hospital administrator. “You can do the scan in the child’s hospital room, even in a cardiologist’s office, and the results are available in minutes, not days. And you can take a scan safely, as often as you need.” OHHF is bringing together 13 U.S. hospital partners into its Take Heart program, with 30 more expected to join, to promote new technologies and patient care approaches to heart health care, particularly for children and their families. It has selected three companies featuring AI technologies: Ventripoint, the clinical data software platform Etiometry, and the remote pediatric monitoring platform Locus Health. “We want to introduce Ventripoint to all our hospital partners, to make it a standard of care,” said Rumack. “ Ventripoint is the only AI technology like this in this category. There’s nobody else doing this. Their Artificial Intelligence approach to heart scans is pushing health care in a new direction, offering an inexpensive and rapid alternative to most MRI heart scans.” Dr. Alvira Macanovic, Ventripoint’s President and CEO, welcomed the strategic partnership: “We are proud of the endorsement of the Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation. OHHF aligns with Ventripoint’s core mission of helping patients with heart disease, as well as their families.  We are committed to furthering Ollie’s legacy by providing a less invasive and smarter treatment option. This partnership will advance the introduction of Ventripoint into U.S. hospitals.” Jenn and Mark Hinkle, who lost their son to heart disease, are known for their advancement and funding of new technologies and innovative approaches to improving the care and outcomes for children facing heart disease. "We're excited by the work being done at Ventripoint to advance the diagnostic capability and technology for the pediatric heart community,” said Jenn Hinkle. “Because Ollie had a pacemaker, he wasn't a candidate for an MRI. Had something like the VMS+ been around when Ollie was alive, his cardiac team would have had access to a clearer picture of what was going on with his heart during those critical moments leading up to his death, and his outcome may have been different.”   About Ventripoint Diagnostics Ltd. Ventripoint has become an industry leader in the application of AI (Artificial Intelligence) to echocardiography. Ventripoint's VMS products are powered by its proprietary KBR technology, which is the result of a decade of development and provides accurate volumetric cardiac measurements equivalent to MRI. This affordable, gold-standard alternative allows cardiologists greater confidence in the management of their patients. Providing better care to patients serves as a springboard and basic standard for all Ventripoint's products that guide our future developments. In addition, VMS+ is versatile and can be used with all ultrasound systems from any vendor supported by regulatory market approvals in the U.S., Europe and Canada.   About the Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation Ollie Hinkle died due to congenital heart disease (CHD) at 13 months old. Mark and Jenn Hinkle channelled their grief into the Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation (OHHF) by taking their love for Ollie and the love given to them by family and friends to pay it on to heart families whose struggles they knew first-hand. During Ollie’s life, the Hinkles observed the ineffective nature of cardiac care, which leaves families to endure and navigate mounting unmet needs alone. This experience led to a mission to transform the future of pediatric heart care by uniting families and clinicians to address basic social needs through Community Outreach, mental healthcare access through Ollie’s Branch, support for Technology and Research to improve outcomes, and collective community building through Take Heart.

Should an individual's stake rank within the Top 21, they ascend to the role of an active validator for the forthcoming period. The operational dynamics of active validators are governed by a set of pre-established rules, under which they sequentially partake in the block packaging process. When a validator does not fulfill their block packaging duty within their designated time slot, other validators who have been less active in the recent cycle (specifically those not participating in the last half of the blocks) are randomly selected to execute this task. It is imperative that a minimum of half the number of validators, plus one, are functioning to ensure the smooth and uninterrupted operation of the blockchain.
