Again, another April has gone by and no letter from the President, if this company even has one. I personally suspect there are no employees left. E-mails are bounced back as undeliverable. The phone is disconnected. Well, I am fed up waiting. I own over 200,000 shares and I am going to dump them with an order to sell at the market. If this company is truly bankrupt and out of business, let the share price reflect that, which is ZERO!

Sent another email to nick@Calcitech asking for information about the company's latest activities. No answer. This is the third email over a period of several months that has never been answered. Looked on their website and throughout the internet for a new phone number but the only number listed is the one that is 'out of service'. Sorry, boardmembers, but I think we've been woodwinked. Company appears to have suspended all operations and gone out of business. Either that or their PR skills are absolutely nil. I have been holding, yes holding not trading, shares since 2007 and I feel that as a long term investor I have the right to a timely and courteous flow of information as to what my company is doing with my money. I may contact the SEC or the NASDAQ to find out what is going on.
Phone appears disconnected, e-mails never answered, no 2013 results, no annual President's letter, no press releases.....Looks like this company is out of business. Anybody know what's going on??
who's the bonehead at clktf scarring off buyers with 500k on ask?

Hi Mr xxxxx
The company is focussing on getting the European subsidiary financed after which they will look to move to more senior exchange in the US.
The otc has been badly damaged by rule changes after the crisis and so has become illiquid. The share price is no longer therefore a fair reflection of the business.
We hope to have news flow soon which should help in the meantime.
Thanking you for your patience

President's Letter
12th July, 2012
Dear Shareholder,
I have not written to shareholders in 2012 until now, although it has been my practice to do so for some years.
Shareholders will be aware of our restructuring, whereby our European business has been transferred to our European subsidiary, CalciTech Synthetic Minerals Europe Ltd, ("CSME") incorporated in the United Kingdom. I provided a very full background to all these activities in my last letter to shareholders and I attach an abridged version below for those that did not see this. I can report good progress is being made relative to the planned activities of CSME and it now only requires funding completion, which I mention below. You can now visit CSME at www.calcitech-europe.com.
Earlier this year we welcomed John O'Kelly Lynch to our Board of Directors in a non executive capacity, which was confirmed on his reappointment by shareholders at the recent Annual General Meeting. John is a long term resident of Bermuda. A Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland, John joined a private shipping and venture capital group in 1984 as CFO. During the 80s and 90s he was actively involved in many US based venture capital projects and over the years has served in senior finance related roles for various international shipping and oil companies before forming Delphi Management Ltd. in Bermuda in 1997. John sits on the board of the funds that are managed by Delphi and also holds directorships' in various investment holding companies. In 2001, he acquired an interest in Interpetroleum Services Limited and other related companies which conduct chartering and financing operations in the gulf of Mexico offshore oil sector. He is former Chairman of the Bermuda Shipping Association and a Board Member of the Association of Bermuda International Companies.
In view of this he is able to represent us well in Bermuda, where we have never had a resident director before. He is also appointed a member of our compensation and audit committees.
In this current year, the management of CalciTech and CSME has been focused on arranging funding for CSME to become an independent operation and allow the financing with equity sources of the first plants planned. This is a challenging task with current financial markets so uncertain, particularly in Europe. However, opportunities are still available and particularly so for a situation like ours, where we meet a number of the criteria interesting to professional investors today. Our process technology with application defined specialty material products and in mature industries with our clear environmental and sustainability values, provide considerable investor interest.
Shareholders will be aware that we were unable to meet our filing date of 30th April this year resulting in our share quotation being moved to the OTC Link (formerly "Pink Sheets") where the shares continue to trade at low volume. Your Company was not made aware of this change from 30th June as in former years. Management accounts have been completed subject to audit. Our main business activity for audit purposes is now conducted through CSME and our London auditors, H.W. Fisher & Co will first be completing the audit for CSME for the year ending 31st December, 2011. This is required relative to the funding activities in progress and also is required to meet United Kingdom filing deadline of no later than 30th September, 2012. It is in the shareholders' interest to complete this to assist funding discussions as a priority. I intend to post the audited and filed accounts to our web site as soon as possible. We will also then have the audit of the consolidated accounts of CalciTech completed thereafter.
As soon as this funding process is completed we intend to commence activity in other territories where we have already carried out developmental work. We anticipate establishing territorial ventures that will be licensed by CalciTech Synthetic Minerals Ltd, where our IPR resides, and to participate directly in the ventures at the equity level. This will require our raising additional funds in the territories to complete projects and we will also look to raise further equity, most likely in the US markets to support the equity calls to participate in these ventures.
Your board is therefore committed to retaining its status in the United States and bringing us back to a suitable market quotation. Announcements will be made of all meaningful developments as these occur and will also be posted to its website at www.calcitech.com.
Yours faithfully,
R A Leopard
President & CEO
Extracts from the Presidents letter to shareholders posted 31st March 2011
We have progressed well with the development of our technology relating to the mineral wastes arising out of recycled paper. The first filing of our patent in this area was made in late 2009 and last year we entered into a co-operation agreement with industrial partners and sought a German Federal grant to support the project. This was approved late last year. This is an exceptionally interesting process as, by combination of CalciTech technologies, the waste minerals from re-cycled waste paper is purified and processed into two separate value streams of end product: Synthetic Calcium Carbonate ("SCC") with which we are all familiar, which will be re-cycled to the paper making process; and Sustainable Meta Kaolin ("SMK") that we believe has the potential to be a low energy cement substitute. This is a new product stream for CalciTech and requires further development, which is why a reputable cement company is part of the consortium. Our small scale plant at the Leuna chemical complex was moved to an adjacent site during the year and is being upgraded to meet the demands of this project in addition to its normal materials testing and sample production program.
A number of paper producers have taken a strong interest in our process and particularly because of its sustainability - "closing the process loop of materials". Dr Charles Kunesh, our US Development Director, presented a paper describing this at the Industrial Minerals Congress held in Miami early this year and a copy can be seen on our web page for more technical detail. Dr Robert Higgs, our R&D Director, presented a similar but more technical paper at the PTS-CTP Symposium in Munich.
As a result of this progress the Company has spent much time this last year reviewing the satellite concept of plant installation on site at customers. This type of plant, exclusively for production of coating SCC, we had anticipated as falling into a later phase in our program, but is driven by our advances in re-cycled paper. It is a very different model to our merchant concept, located at the customer's premises. It is normally a sole source of off take against long term contracts on very competitively priced terms and always delivered in a high solids slurry. Whereas our merchant concept can usually be located near CO2 and waste or other materials source and has mixed applications for our SCC in a variety of industries, and industry supply on small and short supply contracts to a wider range of customers, usually in a dry form. As such we have approached potential commercial partners with joint venture concepts, but we have failed to negotiate terms we would consider acceptable to our shareholders at this stage.
We have therefore decided to concentrate immediately on bringing several merchant plants to building stage and intend to concentrate on the smaller, non-paper coating, plants of which we have identified a number through our business planning. All prospective plants are now in Europe and therefore will be implemented by our new wholly owned subsidiary CalciTech Synthetic Minerals Europe Ltd. ("CSME") based in the UK. The prospective plants would be circa 40,000 tpa and could be in Germany, France, Spain, the Benelux or UK.
With several plants completed we have no doubt that execution on other projected merchant plants in Europe becomes very straightforward. We would expect thereafter to build a number of larger satellite plants for coating material at paper mills.
It is clear that the territories where SCC and waste remediation of our type will be used are quite different, either in their evolutionary stages, the market practices or management styles. In particular the local funding requirements and the need to secure the maximum protection for our technologies will require different local relationships and partners.
Michael Watts visited with me, both China and India earlier this year. Michael has considerable experience of working in Asia for much of his career. It is clear that there is a huge opportunity to recycle carbide lime waste and also re-cycled paper mineral waste in China providing significant environmental benefits, including absorption of CO2 emissions, while making certain industries completely sustainable with our SCC. India is potentially a similar opportunity to China, but may take longer to develop.

End of summer
Love to see some press releases after the holiday. I know EU shuts down for the summer, but I hope our boys at CalciTech have working away.
Plant construction costs are a little less than 40 mil Euros. Grant was structured in years past for 50%, assume still same. CalciTech (or CSME) needs 20% equity and will finance the remaining 30%.
MBOT: Nice summary in earlier post.
any idea on size of funding needed for plant? is it gov. subsidized plant - partial ?
well it comes down to this, this company has decades of research, ties with major players, A german government grant, they take free waste material and convert it to a viable product that is used in just about everything, the new products have been tested with flying colors by BASF, the process uses waste CO2 and Toxic waste pools of lime, which the company has been awarded all over the planet, and then creates a number of patented products for many industry sectors, problem is they have yet to build their first large scale plant, their smaller scaled down plant makes all their test samples, recent developments include contracts with the largest paper manufacturers as well the largest cement manufactures in Europe.

Calcitechs Revolutional Recycling process
[-url]www.calcitech.com/i/pdf/Presentation_2010-04.pdf[-/url][-tag][-chart]images.investorshub.advfn.com/images/uploads/2010/8/22/elbhfppt.gif[-/chart][-/tag]
Recycling waste from industrial paper processes.
Recycled paper produces a waste stream that is an environmental problem
CalciTech's technology enables paper producers to recycle all the minerals used in paper. This brings significant environmental and product benefits by eliminating disposal costs and replacing quarried minerals from distant sources with a recycled mineral that has better brightness, whiteness, opacity and printability than the original.
By enabling the raw material to be renewed in a closed loop, the paper industry can move closer towards the goal of zero waste, zero environmental impact and carbon footprint-free production. This will significantly reinforce their sustainability credentials.
The usage of recycled paper has reached 50 million tonnes in Europe and continues to grow as the demand for sustainable products increases. However it is not generally realised that paper contains up to 40% minerals which remain as a waste sludge after the recovery of the cellulose fibres. The elimination of this sludge is a growing problem following the new EU Waste and Landfill Directives. Similar problems exist with recycled paper in North America and China.
CalciTech's new process overcomes the problem of impurities that has hitherto hindered the re-use of these minerals. The new process uses CalciTech's original technology for treating waste lime and applies it to solve a growing environmental problem. Trials have been successfully completed with waste from a range of paper mills. The Synthetic Calcium Carbonate produced from this waste is of high brightness and low abrasivity.
PVC production using the acetylene process creates carbide lime which is an environmental hazard.
Carbide lime is one of the original calcium raw material sources evaluated for use in the CalciTech SCC process. This material is a waste by-product composed of impure calcium hydroxide that arises from the production of acetylene gas through the reaction of calcium carbide (CaC2) with water.
The calcium carbide is produced by heating coke and low quality quicklime to very high temperature in an electric arc furnace. The end product is typically only 80% pure with significant quantities of lime impurities and unreacted coke present. After the generation of acetylene gas, these calcium carbide impurities end up in the carbide lime, which, in turn, is usually disposed of in large landfills and lagoons.
Calcitech Turning Waste into a Marketable Product
CalciTech Ltd. (CalciTech) has developed a process for manufacturing Synthetic Calcium Carbonate (SCC) from waste lime and carbon dioxide. SCC is a white filler pigment and is used for paper filling and coating, and is used in paint. It is also a calcium source for pharmaceuticals and food. The Company's SCC process can utilize most grades of lime, including lime or industrial waste lime, such as carbide lime. CalciTech initially developed SCC products for the paper industry. However, it has developed two non-paper SCC products targeting the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, and the plastic, sealant, rubber and adhesives industries.
Share Structure
CalciTech is predominantly owned by long-term private investors. No one individual or institution holds a declarable stake in the company. Over 95% of the company is held by long-term European investors.

"Spinning Straw into Gold"
http://www.calcitech.com/s/Environment.asp
"Spinning straw to gold" or how to create green parks out of fields of waste "Environmentally viewed, CalciTech has made an incredible move: We can actually clean up waste lime pits and transform the waste into a commercial quality product," Marc Janssens, COO of CalciTech Ltd., sums up the basic facts of his company's new commercial - and at the same time - environmental strategy: The production of very pure and fine SCC basically out of the combination of waste carbide lime and the omnipresent air-polluting CO2. The company's innovative product is made by a method developed in collaboration with several Universities and Research Centres. Its simple commercial formula grounds on the decrease of waste and pollution as well as on the economic ideal of exploiting cheap or even free resources. Compared to conventional PCC production, CalciTech has added several new processing steps in order to control the quality of the resulting crystalline substance; compared to the traditional approach, the unique advantage though is the possibility of being able to use waste instead of natural lime resources. Health and environmental problems of carbide lime Carbide lime is a problem waste. The primary concern associated with it is its high alkalinity - its pH factor of up to 12,45 - with its potential impacts to soil and groundwater. Moreover, the lime is contaminated by free carbon, ferrosilicon and also small amounts of several metal oxides. Skin- and eye-irritation may result from overexposure to the unwanted substance. Marc Janssens though, likes to remain reasonable about its hazardous effects: "Carbide lime certainly is industrial waste but the ponds are not highly dangerous. Its real problem is the storage, since there is so much of it." Carbide lime is everywhere Throughout the industrial world, it is estimated that tens of million of tons of carbide lime sit in huge ponds, ruining the landscape with their endless grey heaps of mud. Particularly affected by these waste pits are the former eastern bloc countries, such as the eastern part of Germany, Poland, and Slovakia. In Schkopau, a small German town close to Leipzig, there is probably more than 40 million tons of the polluted material "stored" in enormous pits. The waste material results from acetylene gas production, which was particularly important for the former eastern bloc economies. First Site Selected It is in Leuna, near Schkopau, where CalciTech is currently operating a small-scale production plant, and it is also where the Company plans to build its first full-scale commercial plant. In order to feed this plant, CalciTech has secured the operation rights for two of the pits at the Schkopau site. Furthermore, the Company obtains the required CO2 from Linde AG, an industrial company operating in the same industrial park in Leuna as CalciTech. Hochhalde-Schkopau Waste Site Western countries though should be far from thinking they were not concerned: before the 1990's practically all PVC production was based on acetylene, generated from calcium carbide. No surprise, we find large waste ponds also in the U.S.A. and many other countries. "We will certainly not empty all these waste ponds," comments Marc Janssens, COO, on the amounts of carbide lime needed for future SCC, "but our approach leads in the right direction. We cannot continue forever to create more and more waste." SCC vs PCC Production The most widespread traditional method of producing PCC is still the so-called "direct process", which starts from high quality limestone and natural gas as a fuel in order to guarantee a high purity. CalciTech has attempted to avoid natural resources and will still achieve an outstandingly fine, pure and consistent material, attributes previously difficult to achieve conventionally. The first stage for CalciTechs' new production variant was the "bench work" in collaboration with the University of Lyon, France, in 1997, followed by a long period of testing and improvements, with the help of a contracted research company. More information on CalciTech's process can be found on the Technology page of this site. CalciTech Concept In the same way the recycled carbide lime in CalciTech SCC can enhance the environmental quality of paint and plastic, partially and increasingly replacing the more expensive fillers based on natural resources. The introduction of ecological sources for SCC not only turns a page in CalciTech's own environmental engagements, but it marks a new approach towards industrial production in general: The use of waste instead of the exploitation of natural resources and the decrease rather than the increase of industrial waste and pollution. |
