As described in the Merger Agreement, the per share purchase price remains subject to adjustment at closing for ADFITECH's expenses, closing net working capital, and indebtedness. Upon closing of the merger, ADFITECH will become a subsidiary of Mortgage Connect and cease being traded on the OTC Market: Pink Market.
The Merger Agreement was approved by 63.16% of ADFITECH's stockholders by written consent on March 9, 2022.

Adfitech now has about 250 employees.
On 10/18/13, the company announced a reduction in force of 320, or approximately 52 percent of its employees. This was the result of two customers that each accounted for more than 10 percent of revenue in both 2013 and 2012 undergoing a major, adverse change in their businesses.
Revenue declined to $3.5 million in Q1 from $11 million in the same period in 2013.
That news caught my eye. Anyone know the size of this company? Revenues/earnings/employees? Tia

I know some here own Adfitech's notes. Have you been able to trade them at all? I see trades going through on FINRA - but I cannot find any to trade, nor can I put in a "bid wanted" or "offer wanted." The Zion's rep isn't much help.
Insights?
Earnings look good. 31% YoY revenue growth. P/CF (ex growth capex) is about 5. I saw the note about expenses being slighlty higher because they keep bringing on new hires. And of course, the ~$1m in investment in VLN is hiding true earnings power. I can't wait for VLN to start up in earnest.
Oops! Buffoonery on my end - somehow didn't see that. Thanks

Change of control language in the indenture is below. I haven't seen anything that should trigger this...
Section 4.04. Change of Control.
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require that the Company repurchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), in accordance with the terms of Section 4.04(b). In the event that at the time of such Change of Control, the terms of any Credit Facility prohibit the Company from making a Change of Control Offer or from purchasing the Notes pursuant to this Section 4.04, the Company shall, prior to the mailing of the notice to Holders provided for in Section 4.04(b) below but, in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control: (1) repay in full all Indebtedness outstanding under the relevant Credit Facility; or (2) obtain the requisite consent under the relevant Credit Facility to permit the purchase of the Notes as provided for in Section 4.04(b).
(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee (the “Change of Control Offer”) stating:
(1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such Holder’s Notes at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date);
(2) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control (including information with respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization, in each case after giving effect to such Change of Control);
(3) the purchase date (which shall not be earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed);
(4) the instructions, reasonably determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 4.04, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased; and
(5) if applicable, that the Company has the option to redeem any Notes not purchased in the Change of Control Offer, and setting forth the applicable redemption price or the formula used to determine the applicable redemption price.
(c) Holders electing to have a Note purchased will be required to surrender the Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee or the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Note purchased.
(d) On the purchase date, all Notes purchased by the Company under this Section 4.04 shall be delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders entitled thereto.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.04, the Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.
(f) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.04. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.04, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.04 by virtue of its compliance with such securities laws or regulations.
(g) If, as of the date of any supplemental indenture, pursuant to which the parties seek to waive or modify the provisions of Section 4.04 or any relevant definition, no Change of Control has occurred and the Company is not aware of any pending, proposed or threatened Change of Control, the provisions of this Indenture and the Notes relative to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to purchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes.
Do any noteholders have any insight into why the notes are restricted from trading? I just did a query on Zions' bond store, and the bonds have the message "Conditional Puts - Change of control - RESTRICTED FROM TRADING."
So it must be something in the bond indenture that can allow holders to require the company to redeem the notes, and they're restricted from trading based on that. So what is the change of control issue it is referencing? (I'm reading through the indenture now.)
FINRA is still showing trades going through, however. Puzzling.
By the way, if FINRA is accurate, and the last price was $59 - I think the notes are cheap.
Seems to be a motivated seller at 2.50. I hope it is one of the old TMST bondholders just looking for liquidity, as opposed to someone who sees fundamental issues.
But to that distinction, did anyone see anything in the recent financials that concerned them? I thought they looked solid. It looks like they are experiencing good growth in pre-closing business to replace the surge in post-closing (forensic) that we knew would not last. Management continues to tease us with hints on new projects, and I'm really curious what plays out with the line about obtaining state mortgage licenses:
Wow, only $932,000 worth of notes were tendered. The company offered to purchase up to $5,000,000 face value:
Tender Offer Completed (7/19/12)
I personally received $750 per $1000 principal amount.

Results of Operations
As a result of the changes in the mortgage industry, there was a significant increase in the demand for our services in 2008 and 2009, as mortgage investors wanted independent reviews of their new and existing loans; consequently, our revenues grew to record levels in 2009. This higher level of revenues continued in 2010, but as expected, did not continue in 2011, as we returned back to normal levels after the unprecedented volumes of the previous two years. However, we expect revenues in 2012 to increase significantly compared to 2011, primarily due to increased sales efforts and the resolution of some of the mortgage industry’s legal and procedural delays that occurred in 2011. Revenues increased $3,075,000, or 44.2%, to $10,035,000 in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $6,960,000 in the first quarter of 2011, as we experienced a significant increase in all categories of revenue. We expect revenues in the second quarter of 2012 to increase slightly compared to the first quarter of 2012, but to increase significantly compared to the second quarter of 2011, as previously noted.
Subsequent Event
After the end of the first quarter 2012, Adfitech was informed that a post-closing client which accounted for 6.5% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2012, and was a significant customer in 2011, will be exiting the mortgage business and discontinuing the use of Adfitech’s services. The expected wind-down plan will last for three to six months with revenues from this client remaining fairly constant for April and May 2012 and subsequently declining. The loss of this client will not result in a decrease in headcount, as we have other internal opportunities for employees. We expect the loss of revenues from this customer in 2012 to be replaced by increased revenues from other customers as discussed in “Results of Operations”.
Upcoming Tender Offer
The Company is in the process of finalizing the documents for a tender Offer to purchase up to $5 million aggregate principal amount (subject to increase at our discretion) of our 8% senior notes payable. The price range of the Tender Offer is $650 to $750 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. In conjunction with the Tender Offer, we are soliciting consents from the note holders to certain amendments to the indenture that governs the notes, including the elimination of most of the covenants and certain events of default. As consideration to the note holders for their consent to the indenture amendments, subject to obtaining the consent from holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the notes, we will also amend the indenture to reduce the stated maturity date of the notes by two years, from March 15, 2020 to March 15, 2018. We hope to conclude the Tender Offer during the second quarter of 2012.

Results of Operations
As a result of the changes in the mortgage industry, there was a significant increase in the demand for our services in 2008 and 2009 as mortgage investors wanted independent reviews of their new and existing loans; consequently, our revenues grew to record levels in 2009. This higher level of revenues continued in 2010 but is not expected to continue in 2011. We expect our revenues for 2011 to decline noticeably compared to 2010's levels as we anticipate a return back to normal levels after the unprecedented volumes of the past two years. However, we are encouraged by continued emphasis by lenders on performing quality control both pre-funding and post-funding. Revenues for the first quarter of 2011 totaled $7.0 million and reflected a significant decline compared to 2010's run rate, as expected. We experienced a significant decrease in quality control revenue; however, this was partially offset by significant increases in imaging fees and post-closing services. W e expect revenues in the second quarter of 2011 to reflect a small decline compared to the first quarter of 2011 but to decline significantly compared to the second quarter of 2010, as noted above.
Compensation and benefits expenses totaled $5.2 million for the first quarter of 2011 and included $4,161,000 of salaries, wages and payroll taxes, $838,000 of health insurance expense, $69,000 of stock compensation expense, from restricted stock awarded during the second quarter of 2010, $79,000 of executive bonuses and $93,000 of other benefits and expenses. We reduced our overall salaries and wages during the first quarter of 2011, including a significant decrease in overtime pay, due to the decline in revenue volume. We expect total compensation and benefits expenses to remain relatively constant for the second quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter. However, we anticipate the total compensation and benefits expenses to be significantly lower in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010, due to $858,000 of executive bonuses awarded during the second quarter of 2010 resulting from the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy in 2010.
Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $461,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, including $348,000 of amortization of identifiable intangible assets recorded in accordance with fresh-start accounting as a result of the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy.
Other operating expenses totaled $703,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and reflected a significant decline in the run rate compared to 2010. Included in other operating expenses were direct loan review costs ($89,000), telephone and utilities ($76,000), building maintenance and supplies ($66,000), expensed equipment ($56,000), shipping and postage ($65,000), general office supplies and expense ($63,000), insurance ($43,000), marketing and advertising ($35,000), legal and professional fees ($52,000), and travel and conference expenses ($35,000). We anticipate various revenue related expenses, such as direct loan review costs, shipping and postage, general office supplies and expense, etc., to be moderately lower in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 consistent with the projected revenue trend; however, other expenses including depreciation, insurance, legal and professional fees, marketing and adverting, etc. are expected to remain relatively flat. Consequently, we expect a small decline overall in other operating expenses in the second quarter of 2011 compared to 2010. However, we expect the operating expense to remain relatively flat in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2011, consistent with the revenue trend.
We incurred $315,000 of interest expense in the first quarter of 2011 on the 8% senior notes payable. As a result of the senior note repurchases completed in 2010, interest expense is expected to decrease to $1.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 compared to annualized interest of $1.6 million for 2010.
Oklahoma quality jobs credits of $88,000 were recorded in the first quarter of 2011. As of April 1, 2011, the Company will no longer be eligible for these credits.
Income tax expense totaled $124,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and included $107,000 of federal income tax expense and $17,000 of state income tax expense.

Carr Securities Corporation
For almost 50 years Carr Securities has been a market maker, risking its capital to buy and sell shares of public companies. Presently, Carr makes markets in over 1200 companies. Its philosophy is to pay attention to the balance sheet and to look for 'value'.
Carr's customers are primarily institutional value investors. Many of Carr's customers have used Carr as an outsourced trading desk because the firm has shown the ability to trade in the OTC markets as well as the NYSE and AMEX. Customers want two things: good execution (getting the best prices often under difficult conditions) and confidentiality. While good executions are always an issue, it is equally important to assure money managers that their executions are kept anonymous. This is often called protection from 'leakage'.
It is hard work finding value in small cap and micro cap issues. Many of the stocks are disliked, ignored or poorly understood - so it requires extensive research to uncover real value. Often these small companies lack professional investor relations that are capable of telling of the companies' progress. Therefore, when a value situation is discovered it is the result of hard work. There are also times when Carr's own traders are able, through its market activities, to uncover value investment ideas. Either way, Carr Securities works to protect its customers' proprietary information.
Carr Securities also provides trade execution for senior management of public companies. These trades can be either for corporate buy backs or for personal portfolio diversification. As a market maker with an expert team of traders Carr can facilitate low cost execution while avoiding market disruptions.
Carr prides itself not only on what it does but also on what it does not do. Carr does not accept retail accounts; Carr does not manage money or "pay for order flow". Carr does not 'shop orders' or trade against its clients. Clients realize this as a benefit.

thanks again
