QualityStocks today announces the availability of a new audio interview with Mr. Eric Fresh, Senior Vice President of Finance and Investments for Dominovas Energy Corporation (OTCQB: DNRG). The interview can be heard at www.QualityStocks.net/interview-dnrg.php.

At the forefront of Dominovas Energy’s mission to deliver clean, efficient and reliable electricity to areas of the world that lack this valuable commodity is the Company’s proprietary technology, the RUBICON™, and its visionary leadership. Fresh begins the interview by discussing his own expertise, how it applies to the Company’s vision, and why he believes Dominovas Energy is positioned for success.

“What brought me to Dominovas Energy initially was the opportunity to work with an extraordinary executive suite. The Company’s vision to deploy its RUBICON™ system globally was indeed exceptional… I’ve worked on more than $4 billion of structured debt and equity transactions for projects all over the world. Most of those were directly related to power generation in the energy sector. Dominovas Energy, as a company, is poised and positioned for unprecedented success in the global power sector,” asserted Fresh.

Dominovas Energy is the first and only fuel cell company selected as a private sector partner to President Barack Obama’s Power Africa Initiative (PAI). Fresh describes how the Company’s partnership with Delphi Automotive Systems validates a robust supply chain in the manufacture of its solid oxide fuel cell stacks, which is the heart of the RUBICON™ system, and how its deployment fits into the broader value created to impact both domestic and foreign economies.

“Collectively, with our OEM partners, we have a significant, vested interest in the successful deployment of our RUBICON™ systems throughout sub-Saharan Africa… consider the relationship with our U.S.-based OEM partner Delphi Automotive Systems. Our relationship presents a broad-based value proposition. The engagement of Delphi secures the Company’s supply chain relative to its most critical component: the production of fuel cell stacks. This partnership affords Dominovas Energy a capability well beyond any other fuel cell company in the market,” he explains.

As further mentioned in the interview, Dominovas Energy has signed more than 200MW of guaranteed PPAs, establishing the base of production that promotes “efficient and cost-effective” manufacturing of the Company’s proprietary RUBICON™ system. Fresh notes that ongoing production and manufacturing of the system will create a hearty global supply chain and stimulate global job expansion while supporting the PAI to create greater access to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa.

Fresh also eased concerns regarding how U.S. Export Import Bank’s charter not being re-authorized impacts the financing of RUBICON™’s deployment.

“We see no immediate impact as the Company has not to date initiated any financing sequences with them. However, it is indeed unfortunate that the U.S. Ex-Im Bank’s charter has not been reauthorized, as Ex-Im has been, and is, a critical component of many U.S. companies that are engaged in international commerce.”

Dominovas Energy is however actively engaging several Power Africa Partners, both private and public, that are steadfast in their commitment relative to financing project development and deployment of RUBICON™ systems in sub-Saharan Africa. These Initiative Partners include Goldman Sachs, Barclays Africa, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and Africa Development Bank (AfDB).

“Ultimately, each of the institutions that we engage are engaged specifically because they have mandates which are inclusive of being focused on deploying capital to support further development of power infrastructure projects in sub-Saharan Africa,” says Fresh.

Turning to expenses associated with deployment, Fresh provides an account of the variables that affect the costs to install power generation based upon the RUBICON™.

“The RUBICON™ is a precision engineered and highly customized next-generation technology that produces clean, reliable and sustainable electricity in global emerging markets… many of these markets lack the infrastructure for basic access to electricity, so our customizable, modular, megawatt-scaled RUBICON™ units are ideal, as there’s no reliance on antiquated legacy transmission infrastructure,” reminds Fresh.

Fresh concludes the interview by addressing what some would perceive as challenges to obtaining financing of projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and how the company is providing an unprecedented number of megawatts.

“Financing such a large deployment is not as much a challenge, as it is a spectacular opportunity for Dominovas Energy. The DRC is a country rich with potential. It is indeed that potential that presents an unprecedented opportunity for Dominovas Energy. Through years of cultivating relationships at the highest levels in government, we are now realizing the fruits of that labor with the prospect of adding to those resources, in a very significant way; mind you, by delivering power with attendant financial support,” says Fresh. “The Company is continually enhancing and cultivating its financial relationships along with its ability to execute in the DRC.”

FluoroPharma Medical is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of proprietary positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agents for the efficient detection and assessment of acute and chronic forms of coronary artery disease (CAD). Currently, the company is advancing two such product candidates in clinical trials – including CardioPET and BFPet – which have been specially designed to rapidly target myocardial cells. Upon commercialization, these innovative products are expected to enable more accurate, early diagnosis of CAD, effectively facilitating improved treatment options and better patient outcomes.

The market potential for a more effective diagnostic tool for CAD is expansive. According to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease accounts for approximately 610,000 deaths in the United States each year, making it the country’s leading cause of death. Among these fatalities, approximately 47 percent occur as a result of heart attacks outside of hospitals, suggesting that many people with CAD don’t receive proper diagnosis. FluoroPharma is addressing this issue by developing molecular imaging as a faster, more accurate approach to today’s standard test for diagnosing CAD.

CardioPET is designed to address the current limitations of CAD diagnostics. Upon commercialization, CardioPET is expected to be the first commercially-available fatty acid analog marker in the U.S. and Europe, giving FluoroPharma a noteworthy strategic advantage in the substantial diagnostic markets of the two regions. Unlike currently available tools, a traceable fatty acid analog marker will enable improved evaluation of cardiac blood flow and the dietary preference of the cardiac muscle under stress and at rest, clearly indicating the metabolic state of the heart and providing a more comprehensive assessment of CAD.

“We are encouraged by our progress to date, and believe that CardioPET potentially signals a compelling new direction for PET cardiac imaging at a time when healthcare professionals around the world could benefit from novel diagnostic imaging that expand and improve their diagnostic capabilities,” Thijs Spoor, chairman and chief executive officer of FluoroPharma, stated in a news release.

According to its most recent update, the company has completed enrollment for its phase II clinical trial of CardioPET for the assessment of CAD. This study, which is designed to assess the safety and diagnostic performance of FluoroPharma’s innovative agent, marks a significant step in the continued development of CardioPET. For prospective shareholders, the company’s sustained progress toward the commercialization of its promising development pipeline, in addition to the considerable marketability of its proprietary diagnostic tools, could foreshadow an opportunity for FluoroPharma to achieve sustainable returns in the months to come.

With the success of its nine-month GLP safety (tumorigenicity) and biodistribution animal model study in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) showing a completely clean record, as zero tumor growth was observed across a batch of 300 rodents injected with the company’s ethically and proprietarily-derived human neural stem cells (hpNSCs), International Stem Cell Corp. has subsequently taken a major step to increase the company’s market presence and up-list to a major exchange, announcing a reverse stock split in order to tighten the overall share structure. Since the July 29 split announcement, the company’s ticker has been ISCOD, and it will remain so until the typical period of approximately 20 days has elapsed.

The recently completed nine month GLP safety study, which capitalizes on a long track record of successfully demonstrated results stretching back to such examples as the 2013 work with Duke University’s Clinical Research Institute, was the last step needed for International Stem Cell to secure the previously announced landmark phase 1/2a clinical trial in PD with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration via the company’s recently-formed Australian subsidiary, Cyto Therapeutics Pty Ltd. The company has quite a preclinical dataset to back up its novel approach to treating PD with injected hpNSCs, which are self-renewing multipotent precursor cells to the main types of cells that make up the CNS (central nervous system), created using the company’s proprietary parthenogenetic technology, which chemically differentiates unfertilized human eggs (oocytes) into pluripotent stem cells (capable of giving rise to many different cell types).

This extensive preclinical dataset the company has thus far amassed, showing zero evidence of tumor formation at even high dosages (including proof-of-principle PD cohort studies and additional studies focused on safety), combined with direct evidence that injected hpNSCs exhibit a neuroprotectant capacity, as well as an ability to actively recover neurons and address the core motor function symptomatology of PD characterized by dopamine deficiency, is an extremely positive forward indicator to investors. International Stem Cell Corporation has been steamrollering forward with incredible momentum in 2015, ever since the announcement in December of last year that the EU’s Court of Justice ruled in favor of the company’s core technology patent applications, declaring them to be effectively outside the scope of prohibitions on patenting embryonic stem cells, due to a laser-like focus on only ethical derivation of non-embryonic stem cells from unfertilized eggs. Ethically-derived sourcing is a key advantage for International Stem Cell Corporation, especially in the current environment, where a political and ethical debate about stem cell technology is heating up.

Highlights for the company so far this year include solid Q1 results reported in March, showing a 74 percent uptick in gross margins on the strength of a 76 percent increase in operating income from the company’s cosmeceutical and biomedical commercialization. Income growth to $1.62 million in revenue was led by a 5 percent sales jump at the company’s Lifeline Skin Care subsidiary, which specializes in providing rejuvenating skin care products based on nanosphere-enscapsulated proteins extracted from parthenogenetic stem cells. Additionally, the company made waves in the regenerative therapy industry with a talk given in May at the International Society for Cellular Therapy’s (ISCT) annual meeting by the company’s CSO, Ruslan Semechkin, Ph.D., highlighting the potential of hpNSCs for treating PD. The ISCT is the leading global association focused on innovative preclinical and translational cell therapy product development, and Dr. Semechkin’s talk on hpNSC therapy left a lasting impression on key industry participants who attended the Regeneration and Nervous System Repair session at the organization’s 21st annual meeting in Las Vegas.

This move to reverse split the common stock and up-list to a major exchange comes at an auspicious time for International Stem Cell Corporation as the company rockets towards commercialization of a potentially genuine treatment option for PD sufferers and their families. With GlobalData estimates on the PD treatment market running into the $5.3 billion range within the next seven years alone, growing at a compound annual rate of over four percent, International Stem Cell Corporation is poised to become one of the big names in PD treatment, especially considering the company’s ample IP position. The company has made a herculean effort thus far to globally secure its core technology, as well as specific pluripotent human parthenogenetic stem cell (hpSC) lines, with 16 issued patents and 91 pending applications spanning 15 patent families, as well as eight more pending applications across four other patent families related specifically to skin care products. International Stem Cell Corporation has even licensed an additional portfolio of 11 issued and 14 pending patents/applications covering eight patent families in order to further secure its broad-spectrum and rapidly developing hpSC treatment pipeline.

This pipeline includes developing the same hpNSCs used to treat PD, in order to provide stroke patients with the first real solution to this leading cause of adult disability, and the company already has robust preclinical evidence that injection of these highly-pure hpNSCs can be used to actually reverse functional deficits when applied even several weeks after the initial event. This one development would be a major commercial victory for the company and it would also largely establish the concrete viability of its parthenogenetic technology for creating commercial-scale, implant-ready cell banks for the ischemic (roughly 87 percent of cases) stroke treatment and other markets. Not to mention being a game-changer for the roughly 691,650 people every year in the U.S. who suffer from ischemic strokes. People whose only current option is costly, laborious, logistically difficult to implement, and often ineffective cognitive/functional rehabilitation. Commercial success in either PD or ischemic stroke would roundly validate the company’s underlying therapeutic approach for treating other diseases and disorders as well, potentially opening a floodgate for the company and allowing them the kind of financial muscle and industry clout needed to knock down additional targets with hpSC-based therapies.

The company’s hpSC technology is currently being developed for areas such as age-related macular degeneration via parthenogenetically-derived human retinal epithelium (RPE) cell therapy, as well as for corneal blindness and many other eye diseases/disorders via the production of corneal cells and whole corneal tissue. This same technology also shows great promise for treating metabolic (and other types of) liver diseases, such as Crigler-Najjar syndrome (inherited), and the company has already successfully created and characterized stem cell-derived liver cells under its CytoHep program, whose transplantation has been shown to effectively delimit the brain and nerve damage associated with Crigler-Najjar syndrome in preclinical animal models.

If one observes all of these emerging hpSC treatment vectors from a wide angle, it becomes strikingly apparent that we could potentially be treating a whole host of degenerative and other diseases/disorders with 100 percent ethically derived stem cell technology. International Stem Cell Corporation is at the forefront of this industry and the shoring-up of its share structure in anticipation of up-listing to a major exchange, in conjunction with the upcoming landmark clinical trials in PD, for which the company has already comfortably sustained the cost on and manufactured a cell bank of over 2.6 billion high-purity hpNSCs (enough to satisfy all foreseeable clinical trial needs), is an extremely bullish indicator to the investment community about where the company is heading.

Continued success of the company’s already commercialized cosmeceutical and biomedical product operations forms a key backdrop for International Stem Cell Corporation when it comes to funding ongoing clinical and preclinical efforts, further differentiating the company (alongside its strong IP position) from competitors.

Manufactured homes have had a bad rap over the last few decades, but thanks to significant improvements in quality and forward-thinking companies like Wisdom Homes of America, the tide has turned.

Wisdom Homes of America is a Tyler, Texas-based owner and operator of manufactured home retail centers. Forget your prior stigma of mobile/manufactured homes – WOFA’s manufactured homes are systematically engineered and designed with cutting-edge, computerized technology to deliver exceptional high-quality and structured homes that meet strict HUD standards.

Aside from durability, today’s manufactured homes are aesthetically appealing. While homebuyers can choose from many of WOFA’s pre-existing floor plans, the homes are highly customizable to fit the homebuyer’s individual lifestyle and budget. Ranging from 1,800-2,500 square feet, they offer more than 1,00 models and variations with numerous additional features like wrap-around porches, vaulted ceilings, wood floors, rock fireplaces and state-of-the-art appliances.

Adding another measure of hardy construction, the homes are permanently affixed to land, a characteristic that leads to WOFA’s entrance into land/home packages. The company sees an adjacent market opportunity of approximately $10 billion annually in real estate acquisition, site preparations, ancillary services, and lending and lease communities for the manufactured housing industry that requires financing capital.

Much of this market opportunity stems from broader increases in manufactured home sales. In 2014, the sales of new manufactured homes in the U.S. exceeded $4.1 billion, up from $3.8 billion in 2013, and is expected to reach $4.5 billion in 2015. The industry growth is driven by demand for quality, affordable housing.

Despite all their structural, foundational and aesthetic perks, manufactured homes are often less expensive than conventional housing. According to WOFA, purchasers of manufactured homes realize cost savings of up to 60% less per square foot compared to conventional site-built homes.

More proof of the re-invention of manufactured homes can be found in WOFA’s books. The company’s total revenue for the second quarter topped $1.2 million, and management projects revenues of at least $4 million by the end of 2015 – WOFA’s first full year owning and operating its home retail centers.

WOFA’s revenue-generating growth model calls for expansion in the retail sector through the addition of related services and the opening of new retail centers in Texas, which sells 3x more manufactured homes than any other state.

Banking on rising recognition of today’s modern manufactured homes, its strong revenue model and strategic location in the hot Texas housing market, WOFA has set a five-year goal of opening 30 additional retail center locations.

Back when oil was at $100 a barrel and the Obama administration first started showing signs that they were coming after oil and gas producers with new methane regulations, it was a hard sell to get the industry to take a real look at the potential of emerging wellhead capture and conversion technology. But now that West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil is trading around $46 a barrel and the EPA’s Natural Gas STAR Methane Challenge Program draft framework is out – putting handles on the still-voluntary curbing of natural gas flaring, a national framework expected by many in the industry to drive already taxing state-based regulatory fees and fines on flaring to higher and higher levels – even companies who decided to bite the state fees bullet on not having access to natural gas pipeline tie-ins and simply flare, are turning their attention to such technology. With significantly tighter margins on the horizon for the foreseeable future, as energy producers adjust to the new normal of lower prices, squeezing every last drop of revenue out of producing assets has quickly become the industry’s new watchword.

Upon closer examination of the regulatory landscape, we see that many states are already leading the charge on the issue of gas flaring, backed up by federal as well as global initiatives designed to satisfy environmental, as well as economic concerns. Early last month a team of four New Mexico Democrats, led by Udall and Heinrich, pushed the Obama administration to level strong rulings on methane emissions from oil and gas producers ahead of the EPA draft framework. This is a move clearly understood by operators across the spectrum in the oil and gas industry to be a signal flare for what is likely to come, with state regulators picking up the federal initiatives for voluntary self-regulation and turning them into even stricter fee-based protocols, with or without mandatory federal targets. For a state like New Mexico, which delivered over 12.7 million bbls of crude and some 117 MMcf of gas in March 2015 from over 48,000 currently producing wells, which has some of the most concentrated levels of methane nationwide and is one of the top country’s top producers from federal lands, this move calling for amped-up methane regulations is an unmistakably clear shot across the bow of the industry, signaling the inevitability of much tighter controls on the practice of gas flaring. In North Dakota, the rules implemented a year ago requiring that oil companies capture 90 percent of natural gas by 2020 were recently highlighted by the state’s top regulator as being in jeopardy due to slumping energy prices, in large part as a direct result of key natural gas infrastructure projects being put on hold.

The idea of avoiding regulatory fees and fines on flaring, and even generating revenue from otherwise flared, excess natural gas that cannot be tied-in to pipelines due to insufficient national infrastructure, or due to the slow pace of new pipeline rollouts in the country’s major production regions, is now an exceptionally attractive proposition to operators. The simple truth is that, even with an estimated $54 billion spent since 2009 on new natural gas pipeline capacity in the U.S. and another $104 billion spend on the table for more networking by 2018, many operators will not have access to pipelines and will be forced to either flare and eat the associated costs, or get serious about wellhead capture/conversion technology.

One of the few publicly trading companies at the forefront of this nascent industry is Well Power, Inc. (OTCQB: WPWR), which is continuing to work towards commercialization of a robust, exclusively licensed Micro-Refinery Unit (MRU) technology that can be deployed near the wellhead and used to process high-volume raw natural gas outputs into clean power and Engineered Fuels™, such as no-sulfur diesel, diluents, and pipeline-quality synthetic crude. In order to prepare for the advent of inevitable industry changes worldwide, such highly economical, mobile and scalable solutions must be developed, and the economies of scale must be sufficiently advanced to the point where smaller operators also have access to ubiquitous capture/conversion systems.

With looming data points on the global scene like the U.N. and World Bank Group’s joint Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 initiative, which is already endorsed by nine countries and major sector players like Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS.A and RDS.B) and Statoil (NYSE: STO), the true demand for such capture/conversion technology as Well Power’s MRU is becoming increasingly apparent. In countries like Nigeria, which lost $868 million last year due to flaring according to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, operators like Midwestern Oil and Gas have already pledged to completely end the practice, and to do so well ahead of the Zero Routine Flaring by 2030 target. The humble little MRU systems currently being ramped towards commercialization by WPWR in the state of Texas could be the key to helping countries like Nigeria realize their methane emission objectives, especially since the technology’s potential for rapid deployment addresses the fundamental problem facing countries like Nigeria, and many, many others. Namely, the lack of a robust pipeline networks or sufficient CNG/LNG infrastructure, a problem we generally faced by countries all across the globe, and even here in the United States where we enjoy one of the most comprehensive natural gas distribution networks on the planet.

How will small countries without sufficiently advanced pipeline infrastructures ever meet the rapidly coalescing global regulatory targets for methane emissions without robust, mobile, scalable and above all affordable wellhead capture/conversion technology? The short answer is that they won’t. The oil and gas production industries in such countries, in an environment of lower energy prices, will eventually end up crippled by regulatory costs in ways that make the challenges faced by domestic wildcats here in the U.S. seem like a walk in the park. Well Power is dedicated to helping oil and gas operators of any size not only meet the increasingly strict obligations of regulatory oversight, but actually generate vital revenue streams as well. Revenue streams which capitalize on globally apparent lack of CNG/LNG or refinery capacity, empowering operators to not only generate immediately usable electricity at the well site, but ready-for-market Engineered Fuels that can be shipped off to local or global energy-hungry consumers.
