Price is collapsing on tiny volume right after merger - do you think someone got stock in the merger and is selling a little?
or is it just weak hands ??? or shaking the tree?
we never have volume but here is wild price action.....
Here is 100 at $2.00 -- I am very surprised that the news generated zero volume - you would think employees or patrons of the 10 Wing Nutz restaurants would pick up shares to see what happens - espessialy when the management tem is known for success at Hooters... - unless the dont know abut the news ??
strange -
I gave the stock a little test this morning.. Yea.. Its as thin as ever lol
American Restaurant Concepts, Inc. Acquires 50% Interest In Wing Nutz
8:30 AM ET, 01/27/2014 - PR Newswire
LAFAYETTE, La., Jan. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- American Restaurant Concepts, Inc. (OTCBB: ANPZ), operator and franchisor of the award-winning Dick's Wings & Grill® restaurants, announced that it has acquired a 50% interest in Wing Nutz®.
Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, Wing Nutz is a leading franchisor of family-friendly, sports-themed restaurants offering premium baked chicken wings, baked sandwiches, and other baked foods. It also offers its own proprietary line of craft beers under the name "Nut Job Beers." Wing Nutz currently has 10 restaurants in Utah and one restaurant in Idaho, with an additional restaurant about to open in Utah and one in Las Vegas, Nevada. There are an additional six restaurants in the pipeline in other western states.
Under the terms of the deal, the Company acquired a 50% ownership interest in Paradise on Wings Franchise Group, LLC, which is the franchisor of the Wing Nutz restaurants and owner of the Wing Nutz intellectual property, in return for a combination of cash and stock. In a separate but related transaction, Blue Victory Holdings, a Louisiana-based private equity firm, acquired a 50% ownership interest in Wing Nutz Development, LLC, which holds the operating assets and liabilities associated with running the Wing Nutz franchisees.
"We are pleased to have acquired a significant ownership stake in Wing Nutz as part of our strategy to drive growth and shareholder value by expanding into other brands," stated Richard Akam, CEO of American Restaurant Concepts. "The Wing Nutz brand of premium baked chicken wings and other quality baked products complements our current Dick's Wings offering and expands our reach into the western half of the United States. This transaction increases the number of restaurants in which we have a financial interest by almost 70%, from 16 to 27, and will contribute greatly to our bottom line. We look forward to working with Will Miller and Will Owens and their team at Wing Nutz as we continue to grow our respective brands."
"ARC is a superb company that is run by an outstanding group of industry veterans," stated William Miller, Manager of Wing Nutz. "We are excited to have entered into this arrangement with American Restaurant Concepts and to continuing to expand our Wing Nutz brand throughout the United States."
"Wing Nutz is committed to providing our customers with the very best foods to enjoy, and by teaming up with ARC, we now have access to the substantial industry knowledge and resources necessary to take our business to the next level," added William Owens, Manager of Wing Nutz. "By working together, this will be a win-win situation for both companies."
Looks like ANPZ is taking a 50% stake in Wing Nutz. Wing Nutz is a small chain out of Utah. They have about 15 locations. I am not sure how much revenue the generate. This is very interesting indeed.
Saw that but had already gone over posting limit for the day.. lol, huge news but I'm not in a rush to tell everyone else about it yet.. haha.. Gotta load a few more Monday
Acquisition announced after the closing bell! - no 8k yet
All longer term stockholders received the letter by U.S. Mail.
Anyone else get a letter in the mail from Rick Akam our Ceo?
It was thanking long term shareholders and laying out everything to be excited about for 2014.
Been edging back in over past few weeks and will continue to do so.. I had booked some @ pre split .38 cause there was a big bid then got out the rest when the Nocatee store temporarily closed b/c I was sitting on 6 figure long term gains and feared that closing plus the R/S was gonna take it down.. Simply had to book it.. I think that this 1.75 to 2.00 range is the same as last years bounce around .08 to .10.. Once it clears that $2.00 strongly we may start ripping back towards the highs
Stock is worth $1.95 - Until they announce an acquisition or new stores
heres why
Blue Victory (our largest lender (an insider and private)) didn't want it's loan paid back! They converted debt to stock at $1.95 -- converting the debt establishes a new market pps of $1.95 equal to .279 pre-split---- this was a brilliant move - still no volume as they clean up the CUSIP numbers but I smell big news - Remember the indiders can dilute stock (they didn't) the insiders can pump news releases to pump stock (they didn't) the insiders can simply give themselves stock for free and call it salary or marketing (they didn't) ---Blue Victory put up "real cash" as a loan and then converted it all to stock at $1.95, essentially buying stock when they did not have to -As such, $1.95 should be the post-split floor - the insiders spent real cash to buy for that amount - $1.95 I see this at $4.00 in 2 quarters if they do just a few little things right -- anybody think I am wrong?

I agree with your thoughts completely!
Blue Victory (our largest lender (an insider and private)) didn't want it's loan paid back!

I am extremely excited for this to begin trading with the D removed.
Since ownership has followed thru with all their claims at this point, I expect at least 1 major acquisition announcement. I wouldn't be surprise if it is coupled with 1 to 3 additional restaurants.
10-Q dropped at 4:30

We intend to open between 5 and 10 new Dick's Wings restaurants in domestic and international markets within the next 12 months.
On November 5, 2013, Blue Victory converted a total of $475,626 of principal and accrued interest that was outstanding under the credit facility into 243,911 shares of our common stock.
That is $1.95 per share
Yes, ANPZD will return to ANPZ after 20 market days. The suffix 'D' is attached to alert investors that a split has occured, and the 'D' can denote either a reverse split or forward split.
If I owned stock under ANPZ is it no good and i lost it all? Or after the 20 days will the stock refer back under ANPZ?
bid/ask $1.70 - $2.20
yahoo finance has bad data
Once I have some cleared funds I'll take a position again.
Sold at .37 bought at .07
200 volume $1.50 - $1.85 bid ask
I think the most important thing you have said, "they have done everything they said they would do."
We are looking good here.
Last "Q" was June 30 and hit Aug 12 -- The "Q" for Sep 30 is due and should be out Nov 12 if they keep the same schedule - We have has 2 recent press releases with no "K" so I wonder what is brewing -
Read the Akam announcement closely regarding the 1 for 7 RS. In it he specifically stated that there would be major acquisitions announced before the end of the YEAR!
The largest lender (an insider and private) doesn't want the loan paid back but wants stock instead !!! That is what turned me around. Reverse splits are almost always bad and pps usually falls to near pre-split levels -- but converting the debt establishes a new market pps of $1.95 - this was a brilliant move - still no volume so I suspect more news is in the wings.
Funny how everyone's tune has changed. Oh yee of little faith. The management of this company is brilliant.
$1.85 x $3.00 bid/ask So far they have done everything they said they would do.
Sometimes they were a little late.. but..
There has been NO dilution
NO IR promotion
NO irreverent news for the sake of putting out news to pump
NO inside selling
Now we have almost No debt
Better share structure (I voted against split I would have rather seen them earn the higher pps)
Great team
Now post-split I smell a big acquisition or some other "big" news
They have been very quiet about the future except to mop up the mess left by prior management
I think they will directly own and manage for 15-28% margins instead of running for 7% royalties in the franchise model
Time will tell
Holding long
Yeah this is actually looking very good. I will be adding
I smell $4.00 pps news coming - inside debt converted to restricted stock!
LAFAYETTE, La., Nov. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- American Restaurant Concepts, Inc. (ANPZD), operator and franchisor of the award-winning Dick's Wings & Grill® restaurants, announced today that it has settled another of the Company's outstanding debt obligations.
On November 1, the Company agreed to issue 200,000 shares of common stock in full settlement of a total of $55,000 of principal and accrued interest due under a promissory note that had originally been issued to The Carl Collins Trust in January 2012.
This represents the second major debt settlement achieved by the Company during 2013. In April, the Company paid Bank of America $50,000 in full and final settlement of all outstanding principal, accrued interest and other amounts due under the loan agreement originally entered into by the parties in October 2008. The Company owed approximately $370,000 to Bank of America on the date of that settlement agreement.
"We continue to execute upon our strategy of improving our financial position to create shareholder value," stated Richard Akam, CEO of American Restaurant Concepts. "Between this note and our note with Bank of America, we have removed a total of $425,000 in debt from our balance sheet during 2013. This significant reduction in debt has strengthened our financial position and contributed to our bottom line through the termination of the related interest payments."
"A strong balance sheet will continue to be a focus for the Company as we move forward with our aggressive growth plan," continued Akam. "Our goal is to remove virtually all of our outstanding debt obligations from our balance sheet by the end of the year."
