ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESSWIRE / August 27, 2020 / ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (''ENDRA'') (NASDAQ:NDRA), a pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS®), is exhibiting at The Digital International Liver Congress (ILC), hosted by the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), Aug. 27-29, 2020.

"Clinical conferences and trade shows continue to be a key component of our brand awareness and commercialization strategies, and none more so than EASL," said ENDRA's Chief Commercial Officer, Renaud Maloberti. "This will be our first virtual conference since the onset of the global pandemic, and we've responded to this new reality with a virtual booth, which we're excited to reveal later this week. Our new virtual, interactive booth enables us to provide EASL attendees with a memorable experience of our innovative TAEUS solution and a unique introduction to our knowledgeable ENDRA team."

ENDRA's TAEUS Fatty Liver Imaging Probe (FLIP) System is a practical, non-invasive way to assess liver fat at the point of care. Following TAEUS' receipt of the CE Mark earlier this year, ENDRA has focused on executing key components of its European commercialization plan, including establishing clinical evaluation sites that use TAEUS to measure and monitor liver fat. Simultaneously, ENDRA has also submitted a 510(k) to the U.S. FDA for the TAEUS FLIP, which is currently under review.

ILC, which this year is "hosted" in London, provides another opportunity for ENDRA to drive awareness of TAEUS in this crucial market. The event attracts thousands of clinicians and scientists in hepatology, gastroenterology, pathology, radiology, imaging, and more, from all over the world to network, share data, present findings, and discuss the hottest topics and trends around liver disease.

Following the conference, ENDRA's virtual trade show booth will be accessible on the company's website or directly at www.endrataeus.com. Hepatologists, gastroenterologists, radiologists, and other clinicians can get an immersive, highly-engaging look at TAEUS and experience it for themselves on their own time — independent of conference dates.

About ENDRA Life Sciences Inc.
ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. is the pioneer of Thermo Acoustic Enhanced UltraSound (TAEUS®), a ground-breaking technology that mirrors some applications similar to MRI, but at 50X lower cost, at the point of patient care. TAEUS is designed to work in concert with one million ultrasound systems in global use today. TAEUS is initially focused on the measurement of fat in the liver, as a means to assess and monitor NAFLD and NASH, chronic liver conditions that affect over 1 billion people globally, and for which there are no practical diagnostic tools. Beyond the liver, ENDRA is exploring several other clinical applications of TAEUS, including visualization of tissue temperature during energy-based surgical procedures. www.endrainc.com

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 27, 2020 / EquiTrust, together with MBE Capital Partners and Carver Federal Savings Bank, funded another $225 million payroll protection loans on top of the $100 million EquiTrust and MBE pledged in May for loans to small minority and women-owned businesses, bringing the total to $325 million funded. These loans are directed to minority and woman-owned businesses, non-profits and religious organizations that were disproportionately left out of the Small Business Administration's (SBA) PPP loans to help them meet payroll and associated expenses during this time of unprecedented economic turmoil due to COVID-19.

"When we launched the EquiTrust MBE PPP loan program in May, we anticipated funding $100 million in loans. Not only did we exceed that threshold, but we received over 21,000 applications from small businesses proving a need for the $325 million," said Earvin "Magic" Johnson, chair of EquiTrust Life Insurance. "These businesses are a vital part of our economy and essential to the economic growth necessary for recovery from the pandemic. We have a responsibility to ensure an equitable distribution of federally backed capital to minority-owned small businesses."

Born out of a concern that women and people of color were having difficulty accessing the loans offered by the Small Business Administration's emergency COVID-19 relief program, Earvin "Magic" Johnson's EquiTrust Life Insurance company partnered with MBE Capital Partners, the country's only direct lending certified minority finance company and the largest independent finance provider for small and diverse businesses in the U.S., and Carver Federal Savings Bank, one of the largest African American operated banks in the U.S., to distribute the loans through the federal government's Paycheck Protection Program. The funds directly impact businesses that operate in and benefit underserved communities.

"After our initial $100 million investment, we expanded our relationship to include Carver Bank, with the SBA and the Federal Reserve to scale the amount of PPP loans that reached minority-owned small businesses. With Carver serving as our correspondent bank, we had access to the discount window at the Federal Reserve to do more PPP loans focused on minority-owned small businesses," according to EquiTrust CEO, Eric Holoman.

"The Payroll Protection Program benefitted businesses that had financial relationships, eluding businesses like the "mom and pop" corner store owners, hairdressers, barbers and churches. Of the 2.5 million black businesses, 90% have only one employee. Many minority-owned businesses are underbanked or non-banked with little access to capital. These businesses are the critical backbones of our communities," said Marc Morial, President and CEO, National Urban League. "This vital support at such a critical time allows these small businesses to sustain in the wake of the COVID-19 economic downturn."

The coronavirus shutdowns have been difficult for many – and particularly hard on minority business owners. Approximately 94% of small businesses in majority Black communities and 89% in majority Hispanic communities have less than two weeks' worth of cash reserves on hand, compared with 35% of White small businesses, stated the JPMorgan Chase Institute's report last year.

While unemployment increased dramatically during the pandemic across the country, the impact on communities of color is staggering. The number of Hispanic-owned businesses fell by 19% between February and May, compared with 15% for all small businesses, according to Robert Fairlie, an economist at the University of California at Santa Cruz, who used data from monthly surveys conducted by the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The declines for businesses with Black and Asian owners were 26% and 21% respectively, Fairlie found.

"When the PPP Program is done, we anticipate we will have facilitated up to $325 million in capital to minority-owned small businesses," stated MBE Capital CEO, Rafael Martinez. "We are grateful for the partnership with EquiTrust, and most importantly, we are thrilled to have provided an additional pipeline for small businesses to continue to build equity in the wake of such unstable times. I look forward to working on even bigger initiatives with our partners at EquiTrust."
