FDA grants NRx Pharmaceuticals approval of a Suitability Petition for single-patient preservative-free ketamine.

The decision enables re-filing of an Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") for the company's KETAFREE(TM) product, which the company has now done.

Current ketamine formulations use multidose vials with a toxic preservative, Benzethonium Chloride.

U.S. ketamine market is estimated at $750 million annually, presenting a significant commercial opportunity.

NRx is also advancing NRX-100 and NRX-101 for suicidal depression and PTSD, both with FDA designations.

The move aligns with U.S. policy goals on reshoring drug production and reducing toxic additives.

NRx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: NRXP) , a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, announced it has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for its Suitability Petition to advance KETAFREE(TM), a preservative-free version of ketamine ( https://ibn.fm/qFzsh ). The ruling allows the company to re-file its Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") for the product, which it has now done, a key step in bringing it to market ( https://ibn.fm/nogJi ).

NRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: NRXP) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for central nervous system disorders, with a particular emphasis on conditions characterized by acute suicidality.

ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF).

ESGold (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) announced its inclusion in a NetworkNewsWire editorial titled "When the Dollar Blinks, Real Assets Take Center Stage," which explores how a weakening U.S. dollar and record-high gold prices are driving renewed investor interest in real assets. With gold recently trading near $3,700 per ounce and silver reaching 14-year highs, the article highlights ESGold's strong positioning in this environment, citing its fully funded, permit-backed business plan and pathway to production in 2026 as offering near-term profit potential and significant leverage to the ongoing gold cycle.

To view the full press release, visit https://nnw.fm/Tgk4U

ESGold Corp. (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) is a fully permitted, pre-production resource company on a clear path to near-term gold and silver production. With established infrastructure in place and a significant gold-silver resource, the company is uniquely positioned to generate near-term cash flow while unlocking the full potential of its Montauban Gold-Silver Project in Quebec—one of the top mining jurisdictions in the world.

ESGold is building a foundation for long-term growth through a dual-track strategy: cash-flow generation from tailings reprocessing to fund district-scale exploration.

The Montauban site, which operated as a mine for over 80 years, is now undergoing its first-ever systematic exploration program to determine just how large the remaining deposit may be. Near-term cash flow from tailings reprocessing will be used to fund exploration, with the goal of increasing the resource base and uncovering new discoveries across the expansive land package.

ESGold is advancing a scalable and replicable clean extraction model that turns legacy mine sites into revenue generating assets while setting a new industry benchmark for sustainable resource recovery.

The recent completion of a C$3.4M financing has enabled ESGold to initiate the final construction phase of its mill circuit—moving the company decisively toward production of gold and silver in Q3 2025.

Montauban Gold-Silver Project: Production Imminent

Located approximately 80 kilometers west of Quebec City, the Montauban Project is a past-producing gold-silver mine with surface and underground mineralization and over 900,000 tonnes of historical tailings. ESGold has invested over C$15 million to date, building out roads, power access, and a 16,000 sq. ft. processing facility. The company recently completed a C$3.4M financing to begin final construction of the mill circuit.

The company is fully permitted to enter into production that is expected to commence in Q3 2025 with a capacity of 500 tonnes per day, scaling to 1,000 tpd. An updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is currently underway to reflect all-time high gold prices and the anticipated upside from the near-surface resource.

Parallels Between Broken Hill & Montauban

Broken Hill, discovered in 1883 in Australia, became the world’s largest source of silver, lead, and zinc—producing over $100 billion worth of metals. What made it unique was that the richest mineral zones were hidden deep underground in a twisted, boomerang-like shape, and it took decades to fully understand just how large the deposit really was.

Geologists now believe ESGold’s Montauban Project in Quebec may share similar traits. Like Broken Hill, it contains high-grade silver, lead, and zinc, along with gold—and sits within the same type of geological system known to host large, high-value mineral deposits. The rock formations, mineral assemblages, and structural complexity all suggest that Montauban could be hiding much more than what’s been historically uncovered. Academic studies now support this possible geological parallel, pointing to further evidence suggesting Montauban was formed under similar conditions as Broken Hill.

Exploration Upside

With production on the horizon, ESGold is advancing a major exploration campaign. Montauban has never undergone systematic modern exploration.

The company is currently completing a large-scale Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey—a powerful 3D imaging technology that will define the size, shape, and continuity of the mineralized system. ANT is already showing strong results, with imaging going beyond the original 400m depth target and now expected to exceed 800m. This cutting-edge technology has the potential to reveal the full extent of the anomaly for the first time in Montauban’s 110-year history.

Scalable, Replicable, Clean Mining

Montauban is also part of a broader vision. Across Canada and globally, there are hundreds of orphaned or legacy mine sites that remain unrehabilitated despite containing valuable residual metals in tailings. Quebec alone is home to more than 259 of these sites, highlighting the scale of the opportunity. ESGold is advancing a scalable and replicable clean extraction model that transforms legacy sites into productive assets while setting a new benchmark for sustainable resource recovery.

The company has also performed testing that utilizes Dundee Sustainable Technologies’ CLEVR Process™, a proprietary non-cyanide extraction method that achieved 90.9% gold recovery in lab testing. This clean processing approach remains a valuable and scalable asset supporting ESGold’s near-term production and exploration growth strategy.

As a complement to its core mining operations, ESGold is developing clean technology solutions through a joint venture with DMCMS Inc. This initiative includes a polymer division that manufactures environmentally friendly products such as road stabilizers, dust suppressants, and other industrial blends—expanding the company’s sustainable commercial footprint.

Market Opportunity

ESGold is operating in a unique and specialized segment of the mining industry—reprocessing and revitalizing legacy mine sites. The Montauban Project offers both near-term cash flow and long-term growth potential by converting tailings into revenue while systematically exploring for additional high-value mineral endowments. The company’s established infrastructure, full permitting, and reclamation approvals reduce development risk and enhance execution timelines.

The broader green mining market is projected to reach $15.92 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. This growth is being driven by increased demand for responsible extraction methods, ESG-aligned practices, and critical mineral security. With construction underway at its fully permitted Montauban site—and exploration advancing along a Broken Hill-type geological model—ESGold is well positioned to emerge as Canada’s next premier gold and silver producer.

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF).

LaFleur Minerals is ramping up expectations for its gold exploration and processing operation in Quebec, working to restart its wholly-owned mill while completing an assessment of hole-drilling work across its 18,304-hectare (45,230-acre) project

The company's Swanson Gold Deposit site is part of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, which is a globally renowned gold district

LaFleur anticipates its Beacon Gold Mill will deliver near-term revenues from processing custom raw ore projects for neighboring gold claims, while also being available for production of its own gold product once exploration gets fully under way

The company has drilled 24 holes to date on its gold deposit project and has reported enthusiasm for initial near-surface assays that demonstrate strong potential for expanding shallow, open-pit mineral resources at the site

In addition, LaFleur Minerals has announced listing on Tradegate, bolstering its international visibility and exposure to European markets

Gold exploration and development company LaFleur Minerals (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) expects to wrap up a comprehensive Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for its drilling project in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Quebec, Canada by the end of October, moving its gold exploration forward even as the company prepares to restart production at its gold mill operation for near-term revenues.

LaFleur Minerals Inc. (CSE: LFLR) (OTCQB: LFLRF) is a Canadian exploration and development company advancing the district-scale Swanson Gold Project in Québec’s prolific Abitibi Gold Belt and progressing toward the near-term restart of gold production at its wholly owned Beacon Gold Mill. The company’s strategy centers on consolidating strategic land packages—highlighted by its flagship Swanson Gold Project, a 160 km² district-scale property that includes several prospects rich in gold and critical metals previously held by Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining. The company is leveraging its 100%-owned, fully permitted and recently refurbished Beacon Gold Mill to transition from explorer to near-term gold producer—a key inflection point that typically triggers a market re-rating, further bolstered by current rising gold market prices. By processing material from Swanson and offering custom milling to regional projects, LaFleur aims to generate cash flow with minimal capital outlay, targeting annual gold production of up to 15,000 to 20,000 ounces by early 2026.

LaFleur’s vision is to evolve into an intermediate gold producer by capitalizing on strong market conditions and Québec’s rich mining infrastructure. The location, in the world-class Abitibi Gold Belt, and its infrastructure advantage, positions LaFleur for regional consolidation, strategic partnerships, or acquisition interest. Its mission emphasizes efficient value creation through methodical exploration, low-cost asset advancement, and opportunistic acquisitions—including land and deposits from Monarch Mining, Abcourt Mines, and Globex Mining.

Québec ranks among the world’s top mining jurisdictions, offering access to flow-through capital and regulatory stability. LaFleur’s integrated strategy—combining exploration at Swanson, a permitted mill at Beacon, and potential custom milling agreements—supports a streamlined path to near-term production.

LaFleur Minerals is headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Projects

LaFleur Minerals’ operations focus on two strategically located assets in the Abitibi Gold Belt: the Swanson Gold Project and the Beacon Gold Mill and Mine. These projects leverage the region’s world-class mining infrastructure and high-grade gold potential to drive the company’s transition to production.

Swanson Gold Project

The Swanson Gold Project spans 16,600 hectares and hosts the Swanson, Bartec, and Jolin gold deposits along a major structural break in the Abitibi Gold Belt. The 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate for the Swanson deposit outlines 123,400 oz of gold in Indicated category (2.1 million tonnes at 1.8 g/t) and 64,500 oz in Inferred category (872,000 tonnes at 2.3 g/t). Located 66 km north of Val-d’Or, the Project is accessible by road and rail and benefits from more than 36,000 meters of historical drilling, along with existing infrastructure including an 80-meter decline portal.

Recent work—including airborne magnetics, soil sampling, and Induced Polarization surveys—has identified multiple high-priority targets and resulted in several high-grade gold assay results, including a grab sample grading 11.71 g/t Au at Jolin, which points to significant upside as the Company prepares to test multiple new zones.

LaFleur has defined over 50 drill targets at Swanson and nearby prospects (Bartec, Jolin, Marimac) and is completing a minimum 5,000-metre diamond drilling beginning in June 2025. LaFleur Minerals has also initiated permitting for a 100,000-tonne surface bulk sample averaging 1.89 g/t Au, which it plans to process at the Beacon Gold Mill as part of a near-term production strategy.

Beacon Gold Mill

LaFleur’s 100%-owned Beacon Gold Mill is a fully refurbished and permitted mill and tailings storage facility capable of processing 750 tonnes per day (tpd), with potential expansion to 1,800 tpd, with access to numerous nearby gold deposits that could be prime sources of ore. Located only 60 km from Swanson, it underwent a $20 million upgrade by Monarch Mining in 2022 and has been under care and maintenance since early 2023. LaFleur is finalizing a C$5-6 million restart plan, ramping up production by late 2025 into early 2026, processing Swanson mineralized material and assessing custom milling opportunities for regional deposits, creating multiple potential revenue streams.

The Beacon Gold Mill is a de-risked, proven asset that benefits from existing infrastructure, including access to roads, power, and skilled labor, and further enhances the overall value proposition of LaFleur by providing a clear path to production and potential revenue-generation.

Market Opportunity

LaFleur Minerals is targeting the gold mining and processing market in Québec’s Abitibi Gold Belt, one of the world’s most productive gold regions. Its fully permitted Beacon Gold Mill, with a 750 tpd capacity and authorization to process 1.8 million tonnes of tailings, is strategically positioned to handle material from LaFleur’s Swanson Gold Project and to offer custom milling for nearby deposits such as Granada Gold. The company projects annual production of over 30,000 ounces of gold once in full production, with potential for significant revenue generation based on prevailing market prices.

Global demand for gold remains robust, driven by geopolitical risk, inflation hedging, and central bank accumulation. The World Gold Council forecasts 3-5% annual demand growth through 2030, with average prices expected between $3,200 and $3,500/oz. Within this environment, Québec’s top-tier mining jurisdiction—ranked fifth globally by the Fraser Institute in 2023—offers streamlined permitting and access to flow-through capital. LaFleur’s low-cost Beacon restart (C$5-6 million) and proximity to more than 100 active and historical mines position the company to fill a growing need for small-to-medium scale custom milling.

At Swanson, LaFleur plans to grow its current 187,900-ounce resource toward 1 million ounces through its 2025 drilling program. This hub-and-spoke strategy, leveraging centralized milling and strong local infrastructure, reduces development risk and strengthens LaFleur’s foothold in one of the most attractive gold belts in the world.

Forward Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: FORD)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Forward Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: FORD).

Forward Industries (NASDAQ: FORD) , a leading Solana treasury company, announced the launch of its institutional-grade validator node on the Solana blockchain, powered by DoubleZero's high-performance global network for distributed systems. Developed in collaboration with Galaxy and leveraging Jump Crypto's Firedancer client, the validator operates at 0% commission, allowing users to stake at no cost while supporting Forward's transition from capital provider to active ecosystem contributor. Chairman Kyle Samani said the initiative aligns Forward with blockchain infrastructure leaders and strengthens Solana's scalability and institutional readiness, marking a key milestone in the company's evolution within decentralized finance.

To view the full press release, visit https://ibn.fm/SNzXM

Forward Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: FORD) is building and managing a large-scale Solana (SOL) treasury, backed by some of the most influential investors in the digital asset space. The company’s strategy centers on long-term shareholder value through active participation in the Solana ecosystem, which it views as uniquely positioned to underpin future global capital markets due to its high throughput, deep economic activity, and growing developer adoption.

Through this shift, Forward Industries aims to create value by accumulating SOL and strategically deploying assets through on-chain opportunities including staking, lending, and participation in decentralized finance (DeFi). Forward also became the first U.S.-listed company to bring its common stock onto the Solana blockchain, reinforcing its focus on digital-native capital markets.

Forward Industries is headquartered in New York.

Solana Treasury Operations

In September 2025, Forward Industries closed a $1.65 billion private investment in public equity (PIPE) led by Multicoin Capital, Galaxy Digital, and Jump Crypto. The PIPE proceeds were deployed to acquire over 6.8 million SOL at an average price of $232 per token, with a portion executed on-chain via DFlow, a decentralized exchange aggregator built exclusively for Solana trading applications. The company has since staked the entirety of its treasury, actively generating yield through native Solana infrastructure and DeFi applications.

Forward’s strategy is centered on growing SOL per share, leveraging a range of tools including at-the-market (ATM) equity offerings and potential preferred equity issuance. The company is also targeting acquisitions and strategic partnerships within the Solana ecosystem to accelerate treasury yield and ecosystem alignment. As part of its infrastructure expansion, Forward tokenized its FORD shares on the Solana blockchain in collaboration with Superstate and plans to acquire an equity interest in the platform. The tokenized shares are expected to enable 24/7 trading, real-time settlement, and eligibility for use as DeFi collateral.

This shift was supported by the company’s board and executive team, whose composition reflects deep alignment with the Solana ecosystem — including leadership from Multicoin Capital and board observers from Galaxy and Jump Crypto. The company’s stated objective is to establish itself as the leading institutional participant in the Solana ecosystem, uniquely positioned to capture both economic yield and strategic exposure to one of the fastest-growing blockchain networks in the world.

Market Opportunity

Solana has emerged as the most performant blockchain in the digital asset space, processing over 8.9 billion transactions in Q2 2025 and sustaining approximately $3 billion in daily decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume. Year to date, Solana applications have generated over $4 billion in fees and more than $1 billion in real economic value (REV), a proxy for free cash flow generated by the network.

DeFi participation, stablecoin usage, and developer activity have all grown substantially, with over $1.5 trillion in swap volume recorded through 2025. SOL staking yields have averaged over 8%, comprised of both inflationary rewards and organic yield from network activity. With 17 pending ETF applications and major institutions like BlackRock, Visa, PayPal, and HSBC integrating Solana, Forward Industries is positioned to benefit from a rising tide of institutional adoption, tokenization of real-world assets, and increased demand for high-performance blockchain infrastructure.

Leadership Team

Kyle Samani, Chairman of Forward Industries, is the co-founder and Managing Partner of Multicoin Capital, an early Solana backer and one of the largest holders of SOL. Samani contributed $25 million to the PIPE and is a key strategic leader behind Forward’s treasury roadmap.

Mike Pruitt, Interim CEO of Forward Industries, joined the board in February 2025 and was appointed Interim CEO in May. He is the founder of Avenel Financial Group and previously served as CEO of Chanticleer Holdings, bringing decades of public company leadership and capital markets experience.

Kathleen Weisberg, Chief Financial Officer of Forward Industries, was appointed CFO in July 2023 after serving as Corporate Controller since 2020. Weisberg is a CPA with prior roles at WW International, Symbol Technologies, and Ernst & Young.

Forward Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: FORD), closed Tuesday's trading session at $23.65, off by 6.9996%, on 489,344 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 615,458 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $3.3009/$46.

HeartBeam Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight HeartBeam Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT).

HeartBeam is developing a portable, credit-card-sized device and proprietary software capable of capturing heart signals in three non-coplanar dimensions and reconstructing those signals into a full synthesized 12-lead ECG.

The importance of such innovation is underscored by the widespread impact of heart disease, such as heart rhythm problems.

The VALID-ECG study results carry significant weight for both clinical adoption and HeartBeam's commercialization pathway.

Early and accurate detection of heart rhythm problems can mean the difference between life-saving intervention and a missed opportunity, which is why new advances in cardiac diagnostics carry such weight. HeartBeam (NASDAQ: BEAT) has reported promising results from its pivotal VALID-ECG study ( https://ibn.fm/BDiIa ), demonstrating that its synthesized 12-lead ECG technology delivers a strong correlation with the clinical gold standard of traditional 12-lead ECGs for non-life-threatening arrhythmias.

HeartBeam Inc. (NASDAQ: BEAT) is a medical technology company pioneering a new approach to cardiac care by delivering hospital-grade electrocardiogram (ECG) insights outside traditional clinical settings. Its proprietary platform supports a scalable app-based solution for real-time heart monitoring.

The company’s mission is to empower both patients and physicians with actionable cardiac data wherever symptoms begin, addressing a critical gap in the first hours of cardiac events. Through its connected cardiac care ecosystem, HeartBeam is establishing a new model for remote monitoring that deepens patient engagement and delivers more actionable insights for physicians. This approach is designed to obtain early diagnosis which could reduce time to treatment, improve outcomes, and lower costs across the healthcare continuum.

HeartBeam’s system aims to bring clinical-grade cardiac assessment into the home. HeartBeam is preparing for commercial launch as its 12-lead ECG synthesis software undergoes regulatory review, building on prior clearance of its 3D ECG system for arrhythmia assessment. The company plans to leverage its unique longitudinal ECG dataset and deep learning algorithms to advance predictive capabilities in the future.

HeartBeam is headquartered in Santa Clara, California.

Products

HeartBeam’s flagship innovation is its credit card-sized, cable-free ECG device that collects heart signals in three non-coplanar dimensions and synthesizes a 12-lead ECG. Cleared by the FDA in December 2024 for arrhythmia assessment, the HeartBeam System enables patients to capture high-fidelity heart data during symptomatic episodes, even outside a clinical environment.

The company’s pending 12-lead ECG synthesis software, developed from the same 3D signal acquisition, successfully met clinical endpoints in the VALID-ECG study and is currently under FDA review for arrhythmia assessment. This software combined with an on-demand cardiologist reader service is expected to form the backbone of HeartBeam’s commercial launch strategy, providing patients with access to a synthesized 12-lead ECG outside of the traditional hospital setting and enabling physician interpretation of patient ECGs from anywhere.

From the core, the team is building an ecosystem that includes integration with wearables, automated arrhythmia assessments, AI-driven wellness features, community features and trending insights. The ecosystem is intended to drive adoption and increase the overall value of the HeartBeam System.

Artificial Intelligence and Predictive Analytics

To enhance its diagnostic capabilities, HeartBeam is developing AI-powered arrhythmia detection algorithms to be validated in collaboration with Mount Sinai Heart. In early testing, these deep learning algorithms achieved diagnostic accuracy comparable to standard 12-lead ECGs when classifying atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and sinus rhythm.

Additionally, HeartBeam’s AI engine has the potential to transform routine monitoring into predictive power in the future. The company’s platform enables frequent readings, building a unique longitudinal ECG dataset unique that no one else offers. By leveraging deep learning on the repeated measurements, there is an opportunity to develop predictive capabilities, such as screening for hidden cardiac conditions and forecasting risk of future events. The unique longitudinal dataset will create a defensible data moat as the company continues to advance its AI program.

Market Opportunity

HeartBeam is targeting a large unmet need in cardiac care by delivering hospital-grade ECG diagnostics to patients outside of traditional healthcare settings. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, yet most cardiac events occur at home, where standard 12-lead ECGs are not available, leading to costly delays in diagnosis and treatment. HeartBeam’s FDA-cleared 3D ECG technology is designed to close this critical gap with on-demand, remote diagnostic capabilities.

The company’s initial commercialization strategy focuses on two distinct U.S. entry markets. The first includes approximately 500,000 elevated-risk patients in concierge care settings, representing a $250 million to $500 million annual revenue opportunity. The second addresses a larger direct-pay segment of 2.6 million elevated-risk individuals, with potential revenues of $1.3 billion to $2.6 billion annually. Future expansion may include reimbursement-driven pathways through Medicare Advantage, providers, and payer partnerships.

HeartBeam anticipates annual subscription pricing between $500 and $1,000 per patient, with roughly 50% gross margins on device costs and 70%+ on recurring revenue. Based on a model using five U.S. regions, each with an estimated 75,000 eligible patients, HeartBeam projects that just 10% adoption would generate approximately $20 million in gross profit—enough to reach cash flow break-even under current pricing and margin assumptions. Over time, the company’s longitudinal ECG dataset and predictive AI capabilities are expected to deliver additional value to healthcare systems, research institutions, and life science partners.

Leadership Team

Robert Eno, Chief Executive Officer and Director, brings over 30 years of experience in the medical technology industry, including leadership roles at HeartFlow, OptiMedica, and NeoGuide Systems. He joined HeartBeam as President in January 2023 and was appointed CEO in October 2024, later joining the board in May 2025 to support commercial growth.

Branislav Vajdic, Ph.D., Founder and Chief Technology Officer, is a semiconductor and medtech innovator who previously led product design teams at Intel and founded NewCardio. He holds over 20 patents and is the original architect of HeartBeam’s core technology.

Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: BINI)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: BINI).

British battery electric vehicle sales surged nearly one-third in September compared to the previous year, reaching 72,800 units. The record figures followed the UK government's July reintroduction of electric car grants worth up to £3,750 ($5,035), responding to intense carmaker lobbying about struggles meeting mandatory zero-emission vehicle targets. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders reported the surge as reinstated government subsidies attracted buyers during the market's most critical sales month. The subsidy program applies to roughly one-quarter of battery electric vehicles sold in Britain, including models from Citroën, Renault, Nissan, and Vauxhall. The limited subsidy pool combined with September's strong sales could exhaust available funding faster than government projections anticipated, potentially leaving later buyers without financial assistance as the market adjusts to operating under challenging zero-emission vehicle requirements. UK manufacturers of electric vehicles are enjoying the sales boost provided by the reintroduced government incentives while their counterparts in the U.S., such as Bollinger Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: BINI), are having to go back to the drawing board to see what more they can do to attract buyers in the wake of the federal government suddenly ending the EV incentives in the country.
