ENCO SEC Suspension:

four significant trading days this year. back in early march there was a day where 1.5MM shares traded and then later in march a day where 400K shares traded. then in early april a day with 350K shares. then nothing until 10/4 when 3.5MM shares traded at $0.017. the last share count was only 5.27MM shares and that passes that amount. even if the earlier trading in the year was a hedge fund yanking things around - the 3.5MM was clearly someone securing controlling interest in the shell. the question becomes - why?
i wondered a long time ago if the BK was just a means to recapitalize later and buy up existing stock to start again. could be the former split entity in sweden will reemerge as a public company by taking over the shell. would definitely give the primary investor a direct path to recover rather handsomely the millions he was plowing into the company while it was tanking.
i certainly am not convinced to buy but i am rather intrigued on what the play is here.
there is no company behind this ticker. it is simply a shell. the company went bankrupt about 18-24 months ago. prior to that they had completed a reverse split that brought the total share count down to around 5MM shares. now - hard to say if there are more than that now but there have been no filings.
someone/entity bought 3.5MM beginning of OCT. someone is taking over the shell for another entity. whether or not that will be a legitimate company looking to raise capital in the equity markets and short circuiting the normal IPO process - who knows. it is certainly cheaper buying a shell when you can acquire controlling interest for $0.003 * 3.5MM shares instead of the normal route.
my guess is now that it is obvious someone wants this company, there is a rush for the few remaining outstanding shares which is where the run up is occurring. right now - this company does NOTHING. it is simply a shell.
my guess is there will probably be a registration statement with the SEC within 30 days along witha name change signifying the change in control and what the new entity is. only then will it be known if there is any value here.
Decided to sell .17 850% gain. Not to shabby
Thank you :)))))
Someone wants this up real bad. .11 again. Might go much higer
how much further
Anybody know companies website? Hmmm...
i ended up selling just under 20K in december of last year for the loss. i still hold close to 50K. this was by far the biggest loss i ever had. the way the largest shareholder was plowing money into this made me think they were on the verge of shaking the monkey.
i was not a fan of their M&A activity once Borrow (former CEO) was forced out. looking back i should have been easing out when the other major shareholders were bailing while the primary was doubling down.
that being said - they still had significant contracts and pipeline when they declared BK. i have been trying to research what became of these as it seems that the company could reemerge due to the IP around clinical trial studies.
I Havent sold yet. At this point, there is no advantage until I need the write off. More than likely - the shares will be accumulated for the trading seat or to continue as a different entity
I sold my 300 or so shares for 1.6 cents per share. 99 percent loss.
anyone still following this stock or have educated guesses on what happens next following the BK announcement? the company remains intact even though most of it is defunct. what is the purpose? there were several key investors that put a lot of money into this company at precarious times. either they knew a lot more about what was going on than the retail guys or were really stupid. hard to imagine their track record fo success and plow money into something like this unless there was a longer term plan.
the primary investor ended up buying up most of the shares that were not secured by existing shareholders in the rights offering several years ago. dropped close to $3MM and the share price had already tanked.
i have posted several times through the years on yahoo that i thought the share price was left to languish so it could be taken private or bought up, consolidated, and then do a new secondary. either the business environment dramatically changed or they planned this BK ahead of time.
i dont know if Kai was incompetent, shrewd, or an arrogant prick. however, it was nothing but downhill after he ousted Borrow and made himself CEO. since he was the largest shareholder - my guess is incompetence and arrogance. his conference calls were a joke and he could not answer straight forward business questions from analysts. he then stopped having them and the stock tanked.
that being said - does anyone know what value resides? is it just the trading seat on the exchange?

Kai Lindevall, Chief Executive Officer, of the Company stated, "This is the most significant break-through to date in our business development efforts in the Asian market. We are very pleased to have been awarded these landmark studies for this major high-tech company. To be selected as a preferred provider is the best benchmark we could imagine with which to measure our success in Asia. In addition, we have recently seen a significant increase in the number of requests for proposals and are seeing signs that the market appears to be regaining some of its pre-recession vibrancy, particularly in the case of small to medium sized biopharmaceutical companies, which are a key market for the Company."

Encorium Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End 2009 Financial Results
Date : 04/19/2010 @ 5:15PM
Source : PR Newswire
Stock : Encorium Grp. (MM) (ENCO)
http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=42441954&symbol=ENCO
PR Newswire
WAYNE, Pa., April 19
WAYNE, Pa., April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Encorium Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENCO), a full service multinational clinical research organization (CRO) conducting studies in over 30 countries for many of the world's leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009.
As previously announced, on July 16, 2009 the Company sold substantially all of the assets relating to its U.S. line of business to Pierrel Research USA, Inc., the result of which the Company no longer has any employees or significant operations in the United States. Due to this sale, for the three and 12 months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the results of the U.S. business have been presented as discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
2009 Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $4.4 million, a decrease of 21.4% from $5.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2008. The decrease in net revenues was primarily attributable to overall reductions in clinical trial activity, approximately $491 thousand of revenue recognized on contracts that completed in 2008 off set by favorable foreign currency fluctuations of $480 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The Company had a consolidated backlog at December 31, 2009 from continuing operations of $17.1 million which included approximately $12.3 million of new business wins in 2009 compared to a backlog of $23.8 million at December 31, 2008.
Direct expenses for the fourth quarter of 2009 were $3.3 million, or 74.9% of net revenues, compared to $3.6 million, or 64.4% of net revenues, for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in direct expenses was primarily the result of reductions in staff and subcontractors utilized on active clinical studies being conducted and approximately $341 thousand of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuation.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) was $1.7 million, or 38.5% of net revenue, for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to $2.2 million, or 39.2% of net revenue, for the three months ended December 31, 2008.
Loss from continuing operations decreased to $558 thousand or $(0.18) per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2009, from a net loss of $12.6 million, or $(4.92) per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2008.
2009 Full Year Financial Results
Net revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 decreased to $17.9 million as compared to $22.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to a decrease in the number of contracts and related contract values of active clinical studies along with $1.1 million of unfavorable currency fluctuations.
Direct expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $12.6 million compared to $14.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Despite reduced staffing and subcontractor costs and a favorable currency fluctuation of $1.1 million, direct expenses as a percent of net revenue increased to 70.3% from 65.6% in the prior year due to lower net revenues. SG&A expenses for 2009 were $8.1 million, or 45.4% of net revenue, compared to $9.0 million, or 40.5% of net revenue, for 2008. Of the $916 thousand decrease in SG&A, approximately $581 thousand was attributable to favorable foreign currency fluctuations, with the remainder a result of reductions in staff and overhead.
Depreciation and amortization expense for 2009 declined to $380 thousand compared to $1.3 million for 2008, primarily as a result of intangibles related to the Encorium OY acquisition becoming fully amortized.
The Company reported a net loss from continuing operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 of $3.1 million, or $(1.16) per diluted share, as compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $16.9 million, or $(6.57) per diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. Included in the 2008 results is a non-cash $14.4 million, or ($0.70) per share, asset impairment charge related to the Company's intangible assets, which includes a $1.9 million non-cash interim asset impairment charge recorded by the Company during the third quarter of 2008 as well as the $12.5 million charge taken in the fourth quarter.
Financial Position, Going Concern and Potential Delisting
Encorium's balance sheet at December 31, 2009 reflected cash and cash equivalents of $197 thousand and stockholders' equity of $2.3 million. Our net cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 was approximately $8.0 million. The Company's latest financials have been prepared on a going concern basis. The report of Encorium's independent registered public accounting firm, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 19, 2010, contains a paragraph that indicates that, while the Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, and that no adjustments have been made to the financial statements that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We anticipate that will meet our cash requirements at least into March of 2011, assuming we are able to fully implement our current costs cutting initiatives, we are able to win additional contracts and we are able to maintain our current customer contracts. In the event we are unable to do so, in order for the Company to continue as a going concern we will be required to obtain additional capital from external sources or significantly reduce our operating costs, which may include the cessation of operations in some countries.
Encorium currently fails to meet NASDAQ's $2.5 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing and may not be able to meet the other listing requirements in the future. The Company anticipates that a delisting action will be brought against it for failure to comply with the requirement. If a delisting action is brought, the Company may request a hearing before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel. Such request would stay any delisting determination by the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Staff and the Company's common stock would remain listed on NASDAQ pending a formal determination by the Panel. However, there can be no assurances that the Panel will grant such request.
Dr. Kai Lindevall, executive chairman stated, "We are very pleased with the cost cutting initiatives that we have put in place. While additional financing is likely necessary, we believe our experience and capabilities in the vaccine field coupled with the recent new awards in this area demonstrate the long term potential we have to grow into a leading vaccine franchise with expertise in regulatory consultancy and strategic trial planning."

Encorium receives French Research Tax Credit approval
05 February 2010
http://www.encorium.com/news/pdfs/Encorium_French_Research_Tax_Credit_Approval_5-Feb-2010.pdf
The French Ministry for Higher Education and Research has approved Encorium’s application to conduct R&D activities on behalf of private companies.
This approval allows companies subject to the French General Tax Code to take advantage of the research and development tax credit offered by France. As a result, Encorium’s current and future French customers will be able to benefit from the CIR from 2009 to 2011 by which time the approval is up for renewal.
Research and Development (R&D) tax credits have emerged as one of the preferred tools for promoting and expanding R&D spending. In France the pharmaceuticals industry benefits from one of the best R&D tax-credit system in Europe, which reimburses up to 50% of R&D costs in the first year.
Dr. Kai Lindevall, CEO stated, “We are delighted to announce that our application has been successful. This approval will help our existing and future customers to take advantage of the R&D tax credit enabling them to invest more money into the development of their products. This is yet another example of Encorium’s recognition as a high quality CRO and will further strengthen our market position in France.”

I believe you are correct about the daytraders playing these low floaters. My only advice would be to just be careful playing them. They can drop just as fast!
Gl.
I'm not familiar with ENCO particularly, but I do trade every day these momo stocks.
Lately there has been a mania for low float, low priced stocks. Any excuse will do. Chat rooms get together and together they produce a run-up.
A whole bunch of stocks have gone up crazily just lately - ABIO, VIFL, SCKT, OBCI, et al. I believe it's mainly the daytrader chatrooms making it happen. I've seen it in the past as well.
I bought before the reverse split. $5 to break-even. It is certainly being manipulated. 9 million volume per day on only 3 million outstanding. I do not have a lot riding on this one, but could see the share price manipulated up to $20. Laugh if you want.
I hope you guys locked in your profits. My guess is it will be back under 2 bucks before the week's out.
Good luck!
My guess is because over 4 million shares have traded today on a stock that only has 3 million shares outstanding.
Do you guys have any theories as to why ENCO is up so much today? I'm new to the stock - can't find news or the yahoo message board.
Thanks
yahoo, I'm out at $4.40 and a happy camper. Want the moderator job back?
