Innovative Designs, Inc. Reaches Profitability for First Time by Reporting of Record Sales Results in Fiscal Year 2024, Delivering Almost 300% Revenue Increase vs. Previous Year
PITTSBURGH, PA - March 3, 2025 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Innovative Designs, Inc. (OTC Pink: IVDN) is extremely pleased to report that the Company has now achieved the key milestone of reaching profitability on the record setting revenue results of its 2024 fiscal year. With the filing of our 10K Annual Statement for the fiscal year ending on October 31, 2024 just posted, IVDN has reported that sales revenues increased to $1,382,733 vs. $347,763 for the 2023 fiscal year. This rapid growth translates to a 298% increase in sales, mostly attributable to the rising demand for our unmatched Evacuated (Vacuum) Cell R-6 Insultex House Wrap.
Fiscal fourth quarter sales were even stronger than we anticipated when we issued our projection in December for a year-end total at $1.2 million. Robust sales are currently continuing in the first half of fiscal 2025. We are working on the largest backorder level for Insultex House Wrap(R) that the Company has ever experienced and making progress with our suppliers to accelerate product production rates.
Sales of Insultex House Wrap(R) are now benefiting from new government building codes calling for continuous insulation and exterior R-Value requirements. Insultex House Wrap(R) is starting to be recognized as the very best option to satisfy the new requirements in terms of performance, cost effectiveness and ease of installation. Insultex House Wrap delivers its advantages thanks to its patented vacuum cell structure design. No other product on the market today offers a vacuum cell structure. A vacuum is the best thermal insulation possible and only Insultex(R) incorporates countless evacuated cells. Insultex(R) also provides a moisture barrier and other key benefits. The result is a substantial savings for new construction, adding an R-6 moisture barrier membrane that does not need additional insulation boards or other support as with other available choices from competitors.
Joseph A. Riccelli Jr., the new CEO of Innovative Designs, stated, 'We have entered a new and much more rewarding stage of our business as demonstrated by the unprecedented sales results reported in our fiscal 2024 year-end financial report that has just been filed. Reaching the turning point of becoming a profitable company is a great achievement that everyone on our team has worked hard at for many years. With the growing success of the superior Insultex House Wrap(R) product line, Innovative Designs is positioned to continue building on the financial success we have now reached throughout 2025 and beyond. I am looking forward to arranging IVDN shareholder's conference in the near future to further expand on the reasons for our success, and plans to increase production to meet the rising demand. Additionally, we will be looking into expanding our marketing and sales options for the IDI Gear Insultex(R) clothing lines. Stay tuned for details on the scheduling of this upcoming IVDN shareholder's conference soon.'

Safeguarding Users' Assets: BTCC Reports Total Reserve Ratio of 132% For July, ETH Leads At 170%
By Meg Flippin Benzinga DETROIT, MICHIGAN - July 24, 2025 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE ) - BTCC, one of the world's longest-serving cryptocurrency exchanges founded fourteen years ago, had a total reserve ratio of 132% for July, marking the fourth month in a row in which it maintained reserves well above 100%. The reserve ratio is the amount of customer funds the exchange holds in reserve compared to the amount of customer funds deposited. It measures the exchange's ability to cover withdrawals by customers. The higher the reserve ratio, the greater the exchange's ability to meet withdrawals; the lower the reserve ratio, the higher the risk the exchange could run into trouble. BTCC, which prides itself on transparency, has been releasing Proof of Reserves (PoR) reports since April, and reserves have been above 100% in every month since then. Safeguarding Users' Assets Proof of Reserve is an audit procedure that verifies assets held by exchanges through cryptographic proof, public wallet ownership checks and repeated audits, reports BTCC. Custodians provide transparent proof that on-chain reserves truly exist, demonstrating that the total tokens held and freely available on the platform are greater than or equal to the total token assets of all users. In centralized trading platforms, each user's assets are recorded through a ledger in a database. Securely proving that the platform is properly safeguarding all users' assets is a challenge that each platform must address. BTCC uses Merkle tree tools to verify platform reserves and user asset proof reports, allowing users to verify their assets within the platform. Being able to verify the assets can give users peace of mind that their assets are safe. Several cryptocurrency exchanges have gone under over the years, including FTX and BlockFi, resulting in large losses for customers. In April, BTCC reported that the ratio was 161%. In May, the figure was 152%, and in June, it was 135%. Ethereum Leads The Way In the latest PoR report, BTCC said the exchange had strong asset backing across all major cryptocurrencies, with Ethereum showing the highest reserve ratio at 170%. Bitcoin, the world's leading cryptocurrency, has a reserve ratio of 120%, while XRP has a reserve ratio of 145% and Tether has a reserve ratio of 143%. USD coin ended the period under review with a reserve ratio of 110% while Cardano had a reserve ratio of 120%. BTCC said the strong reserves across all the digital coins demonstrate the exchange's commitment to maintaining sufficient reserves 'July has been a remarkable month for the cryptocurrency market,' said Alex Hung, head of operations at BTCC Exchange. 'Rising geopolitical tensions and new US tariff policies have driven increased safe-haven demand, with Bitcoin breaking through the historic $120,000 milestone for the first time. Throughout this period of market volatility, BTCC has maintained its strong financial position while continuing to grow both our asset base and user community.' BTCC: Standing The Test Of Time With Zero Security Incidents BTCC is one of the world's longest-serving cryptocurrency exchanges, founded in June 2011, providing crypto futures trading services to users worldwide. The exchange offers perpetual futures on over 390 crypto and spot trading on more than 300 currencies, including BTC, ETH, DOGE, LTC, SOL, XRP and SHIB. The cryptocurrency exchange adopted industry-leading security standards early on, which it credits with zero security incidents since its inception fourteen years ago. As of April, BTCC has over 9.1 million registered users around the world. For the second quarter, BTCC reported a volume of $850 billion in futures trading. Crypto exchanges come and go but BTCC has been able to stand the test of the time, thanks to its security, transparency and ability to safeguard customers' assets. With reserve ratios that surpass 100% for consecutive months, BTCC is demonstrating why it's one of the world's longest-serving cryptocurrency exchanges. Featured image fromShutterstock.

Breaking the Mold: BTCC's Community Manager Talks to Benzinga About Being One of the Longest-Serving Crypto Exchanges Worldwide
By Meg Flippin Benzinga DETROIT, MICHIGAN - July 22, 2025 ( NEWMEDIAWIRE ) - Jermey Fok, community manager at BTCC, was recently sat down with Benzinga to discuss how the cryptocurrency exchange has been able to survive and thrive over the past fourteen years. BTCC is one of the world's longest-serving cryptocurrency exchanges, founded in June 2011, providing crypto futures trading services to users worldwide. The exchange offers perpetual futures on over 300 cryptocurrencies and spot trading on more than 200 currencies, including BTC, ETH, DOGE, LTC, SOL, XRP and SHIB. The cryptocurrency exchange adopted industry-leading security standards early on, which it credits with its record of zero security incidents since its inception fourteen years ago. As of April, BTCC has over 7.04 million registered users around the world. 'We have been here fourteen years and that was when Bitcoin was still a coffee's worth, that's pretty hard to imagine,' Fok told Benzinga's Dan Leach in the interview. 'We've survived four crypto winters…It's been fourteen years of no security breaches and no insolvency issues.' That can't be said of many other crypto exchanges that have faced data breaches and/or bankruptcies over the years. Volatility Driving The Growth In addition to boasting 7 million registered global users, BTCC is in growth mode, reporting first quarter volume of $815 billion and a 71% surge in futures trading. Fok said the growth during the first quarter was driven by volatility in the market that has been ever present this year. After all, so far in 2025, Bitcoin has set a new all-time high, and a lot of new crypto products have come online. As for the popularity of BTCC in general, Fok said that's being driven by the crypto exchange's two-pronged approach as part of which it is focused on security and providing users with an easy-to-use platform. 'A lot of exchanges fail to provide the most core element of an exchange…ease of access. Crypto is hard to understand for a lot of people, and having it dumbed down is very attractive for a lot of crypto users. A lot of exchanges fail to capture that user experience,' said Fok. At the same time, BTCC is focused on security. 'We try to refine and to carefully manage features to ensure security is the top thing. We understand we might not have features all the other exchanges provide but what we have is battle-tested,' he said further, noting that nothing is rolled out that is rushed or isn't completely secure. Other exchanges may have more bells and whistles, but it comes at the expense of security. Rewarding Its Traders To celebrate its 14th anniversary this June, BTCC launched a trading contest on X and rolled out its 14-year momentum badge, which Fok said is the first of many reward badges to come. The idea of the badges is that traders are rewarded for engaging in certain actions, such as opening an account and funding it with a certain amount of money and then conducting a specified number of trades. Traders also get rewards for social tasks such as following BTCC on X, joining its Discord, following BTCC on Instagram and subscribing on YouTube. 'In the future, there are a lot more badges to come,' said Fok. 'These badges come with immediate rewards.' BTCC traders can expect to see badges around the holidays and many other events throughout the year, he said. What's more, the crypto exchange is focusing more on the social aspects of its business, such as providing market insights and personal insights on trading, leveraging AI. All of it is about positioning BTCC for the next 14 years and beyond. 'We're not here for the trend, or one or two trades, we're here for the longer time,' said Fok. Featured image fromShutterstock.

An increase in net interest income of $1.77 million, or 14.5 percent, concurrent with an increase in noninterest expense of only $698 thousand were the primary drivers of the growth in earnings. The increase in net interest income was the result of continued strong loan growth across all markets year over year.

Additionally, the quality and mix of deposits has improved over the same period; reducing time certificates of deposit from 13.7 percent of total deposits to 2.6 percent currently. 'Our second quarter results reflect the strength of our relationship-based approach to banking. The continued growth of core deposits is not only a sign of the financial strength and growth of our clients but is also a testament to the number of new locally-owned businesses, professional firms and non-profit entities choosing to move their full banking relationship to us in all three of our markets,' said Craig Wanichek, President and CEO. Return on average equity over the trailing four quarters has improved for the fifth consecutive quarter, at 11.5 percent for both the current quarter and the trailing four quarters. Total shareholders' equity ended the second quarter at $115.8 million, an increase of $14.3 million or 14.1 percent since June 30, 2024.

In November 2024, the Company announced the Board's authorization to repurchase shares of its common stock up to a maximum total volume of $1.0 million.
