FRX Innovations announces that it has selected MNP LLP as its new auditors.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – TheNewswire - April 12, 2023 – FRX Innovations Inc. (TSXV:FRXI) (FSE:W2A.F) (OTC:FRXIF) (“FRX” or the “Company”), a leader in eco-friendly flame-retardant solutions, announces that it has selected MNP LLP ( “MNP”) as its auditors to replace Marcum LLP (“Marcum”). Change stems from Canadian Public Accountability Board (“CPAB”) ruling that precludes Marcum from representing new Canadian venture issuer clients, including those resulting from reverse takeovers. Since the FRX transaction was the result of a reverse merger transaction, this ruling impacts several of their clients, including FRX. The ruling is not expected to have a material impact on FRX’s audit, although it may cause a slight delay in releasing its next set of financials, given the compliant status of the company accounts.

On March 16, 2023, FRX was informed by Marcum, of its inability to complete the audit of the Company’s December 31, 2022 financial statements, as a consequence of a decision by the Canadian Public Accountability Board (“CPAB”). This ruling impacts several of the firm’s clients, including FRX.

Because of the delay caused by CPAB’s recent ruling concerning Marcum, FRX has engaged a new auditing firm, resulting in the expectation that the deadline for completion and submission of FRX’s 2022 audit may not be achievable. With the engagement of MNP, the parties are now in the process of diligently completing the audit process as expeditiously as possible. The Company has applied to the Ontario Securities Commission for a management cease trade order (the "MCTO").

Until the Company files the Annual Filings, it will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly status reports by way of a news release so long as the Annual Filings have not been filed.

During the MCTO, the general investing public will continue to be able to trade in the Company's listed common shares. However, the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer will not be able to trade in the Company's shares.
