twa,
Here’s a link to help you catch up to what’s going on with CRTG. Highly recommend you check out the latest shareholder call. You can watch the video and follow along with the transcript.

Though the Company wants to succeed, Investors are treading in dangerous waters as there are more uncertainties in the Penny market than just about anywhere else?? Also with AI leading the way for many Co's, who knows who will advance the farthest and with what products? It is just that events are happening rapidly and we don't know enough to make good Investment decisions!
As to the words that come-out-of senior officials mouths might show movement of some sort, the future might be in just as perilous a position as Investors were in years ago, as only the positives are shown, and their importance may not be studied well enough to warrant excitement? As to the present day value, there is none as products are not even in usable existence yet, let alone being marketed commercially!
But hold tight, that is what the Penny field is all about! Something the guys & Gals are doing might make some sort of splash one of these days as their WILL and DETERMINATION cannot be questioned! They are eager and truly believe in what they are doing! But in this fast paced economy, "TIME" is of most importance! Whether the Biggies at the top fully recognize that factor, who knows, but they are bucking a strong trend that bugs all Penny Owners and Investors! New products require a lot of time testing, then integrating them into their system, which may take from 5-10 years & bundles of cash? No Company will consider adopting new products unless they have the means to produce them in short order as well! Money to do all those things is absolutely essential!!! I wish you well! We'll see what surfaces at the end of 2024 or 2025! GLTA...
I share your sentiment. I remember previous podcasts and a shareholder call where he paused and appeared to be, processing in his mind, not to say too much.
Finally got a chance to listen to this podcast. Couple observations I took from this:
1. He's a little hard to listen to as he talks very choppy with a lot of uh... uh...
2. As difficult as it is to listen when he's talking as noted above, I actually think some of that is him working through in his head what he can and cannot say as to not give away news or proprietary information and things happening within the company. I felt a lot of that was strategic pauses and thinking to not say too much.
3. If Endurian or any of crtg technology was a flop or not going anywhere I don't think they'd be doing as many podcasts, articles, journals, etc. as they have been doing this past year. I don't think you do these interviews with a technology that might be good someday as much as you do it with knowing you have a product that is about to come out and trying to get in front of as many people as possible without releasing too much information at non-strategic times that could affect the release or stock price, etc.
4. I am indifferent on evtol but if they are to the point where they are confident and able to be talking to these groups and journals and believe they have a product that can offer something to this industry, if they are able to compete in the evtol then they can probably compete anywhere as I believe the extreme weight requirements for these type of batteries are going to trump any other kind of battery technology for miscellaneous tools, vehicles, whatever it may be. If you can be competitive in a super lightweight battery it's always easier to move into the other less restrictive spaces I would assume.
I believe that while a merger/acquisition is in progress they are not required to
Shouldn't CRTG put out first quarter results based on their books without Core Optics inclusion?
Gary
Then they announced this on March 20th in the 8K filing
Exhibit 99.2
"Further, Core Optics' financial statements are currently being audited. The Company cannot publish financial information until the audit is complete and plans to do so when appropriate."
They should be providing first quarter earnings during the first week of May, anyone think that will include anything from Core Optics or be prepared by their people?
Gary
I guess that just about covered the company picnic.😉😁
He was about two years too early.
At the end of 2007, 3DIcon announced its first product, “Pixel Precision,” a companion software application to the DMD Discovery, a product line manufactured by Texas Instruments. If I remember correctly, their first revenue from this came in 2008, around $40 thousand for the year.
Announcing revenue is great, but how much revenue is even more important.
Martin Keating predicts REVENUE in 2006😄.
Quick Shift,
You are right in saying that investors received nothing from 3Dicon in acquisition of Coretec! We were left with nothing but an outrageous reverse split & dilution! But Victor Keating has benefited greatly in both Coretec & Core Optics! But hopefully investors can gain back part of losses. Hang in there everyone…….

I believe that Tesla is finding true competition in the many new electrics on the market in addition to Musk shooting himself in the foot by openly expressing unpopular views that have nothing to do with his cars, solar, rockets, robots, etc. Look what happened in Dubai yesterday and try to deny climate change. If anything, we need to accelerate the acceptance of electric cars, solar, windpower, etc. The speed of climate change is faster than most experts had thought, I hope it can be slowed, it won't be stopped unless something radical happens to the planet.
I'm very much a senior, it won't affect me much, but my kids are a different matter, and by the next century I suspect that much coastal property will either be under water, or protected by man-made levees etc. I have a boat in Marina del Rey, I suspect the sea walls and all the pilings that secure the docks in place will need to be 5 to 10 feet taller if it's not to be abandoned to nature along with a lot of coastal property in California.

Liberal paper in an election year! It’ll be okay! EVs are here to stay! We just need a reliable EV and hopefully that’s CRTG!
LA Times reporting that the EV market is in trouble with Tesla’s layoffs! This is the last thing that Coretec/investors need to worry about right now. Coretec needs to pickup the pace & finish the battery testing…….
I found his presentation very interesting, perhaps others here knew about the growth of the media on charging, but this is the first I've heard about it. Does anyone know if space is created in the battery for this growth, or are they using some sort of compressible media within the battery.
The complexity in the design of batteries is nothing new. During WW2 a friend was a battery manufacturer. One day some Govt. Inspectors appeared to inspect his batteries, on watching them he could see they didn't know what they were doing, and he taught them how to properly inspect a battery. At that time tank batteries were failing badly, he was called in to determine what was wrong and helped determine what needed to be done to make them reliable again.
I find the idea of commercial electric aircraft in the near term to be amazing, I hope the companies that talk about it can actually deliver. I know at first they'll be short distant commuting aircraft, however with the sort of improvements that are being spoken about, I really wonder if in a decade or so transcontinental large electric airliners will be a possibility. If you can refuel most military aircraft in flight, I wonder if even that would be possible for recharging electric aircraft. I could also see the possibility of a small fuelled generator capable of providing sufficient emergency power to maintain the aircraft in slow flight while waiting to land.

Pretty early in the discussion Dr. Elgammal tells us what happened to CHS - it isn't price competitive. He goes on to say that the company, wanting to stay in the "silicon space" pivoted to development of battery anodes. This is probably about the time Kraft left. Elgammal also says he was contacted by the CEO at the time to perform due diligence on the portfolio of patents that Coretec acquired when they merged with Coretec Industries. It is a little disturbing to consider that the cost and dilution shareholders bore to acquire Coretec Industries gained us exactly nothing.
Copy of the 4-16 email message:
March was a very productive month for The Coretec Group (OTCQB: CRTG) as it announced a definitive share exchange agreement with Core Optics LLC. Company leadership expounded upon its details during a March 14 shareholder call and presentation (the full transcript and recording of which can be found here).
The chief takeaways from the call demonstrate the market opportunity ahead, as CFO/COO Matthew Hoffman provided updates and a future outlook of the Company’s Endurion battery program:
• Endurion boasts full coin cell batteries with strong stability, lasting over 500 cycles: an impressive cycle life benchmark that creates clear pathways for the technology to be applied to a number of customer markets. Core Optics’ existing relationships and customer base within these industries create opportunities for partnerships and commercial adoption.
• The Endurion team’s work has achieved new IP in the form of an advanced coating methodology that can extend beyond just battery applications, which will be a major asset in the future licensing of the technology as well as the overall value of the Company.
• Looking ahead to the rest of 2024, The Coretec Group aims to scale up its anode material synthesis capabilities to meet the demands of potential partners. Endurion’s latest progress positions it well for securing development funding, which Company leadership will pursue aggressively as it strives toward the larger goal of making the program a self-sustaining business unit. The Coretec Group’s relationship with Core Optics will also prove essential in the solidification of Endurion’s partnerships and financial goals for the remainder of the year.
The Company also contributed an article to POWER Magazine on the bright future of lithium-ion batteries through the use of silicon anode technology. The piece details the principal caveats hampering si-anode adoption and Coretec’s nanoparticle solution that could overcome them and bring about the next generation of high-efficiency EV batteries.
Lastly, Coretec CTO Ramez Elgammal will soon be featured on the eVTOL Insights podcast. Be sure to be on the lookout for updates regarding its release.
While it’s been an exciting month, the Coretec team still has plenty more, exciting work ahead of it in the weeks to come. Anyone interested in keeping pace with the Company’s news and updates in real-time is encouraged to follow along on its LinkedIn and X profiles.
I didn’t get an email either. Not certain that CRTG actually sent one out for the April 16 update.
My CRTG emails keep going to spam no matter how many times I say not spam? Any suggestions on how to keep that from happening? I've even added to my contacts list...because this I missed 16 Apr email.
Haven't listened yet but does he reference the merger closing soon or is that your thoughts based on misc info.
New podcast with Ramez now out ...Merger will close soon looking forward to a new company with revenue

Looks like another acquisition for 22 X Ventures

Once we get past the international scrutiny, the synergies of the newly found company will kick into high gear. The company's next announcement could be that all aboard moment that will leave the penny land station for good. Fingers & toes
CEO M. Kappers ability to find Coretech long lost twin is nothing short of....... you name it

A few due diligence items left means the financial audit is done , I see where your getting that from in the filing but the audit is not part of the due diligence list. they are way ahead of that part next audit is after close been there done it . This won’t be long ,

There is still a chance, small though it may be, the deal may crater. I think the early adopters have spent their powder. I know I have. The rest are hanging around waiting to buy as soon as "the deal is done." They, referring to the watchers, are thinking buying before close is a gamble but they can still buy lower AS SOON AS the dam breaks and ride the pressure up. That's what I would do...
The market seems to be pricing in the approximate stats I suggested a while earlier. Three billion shares outstanding, two or three million dollars in earnings and a P/E ratio of 20 to 1. Those are fairly pathetic numbers, but using them will get you a price near the close today. Basically I am suggesting the bottom is in, but few seem willing to buy at these levels and that suggests maybe it isn't.
Hopefully, we will get the SEC approval in a month or less.
If the financial audit was started the first week after signing on March 1, we are six weeks into it, so we are halfway there unless Core Optics will expedite and get it done sooner.
If the financial audit is done quickly, they might announce Core Optics revenue before closing. “The Company cannot publish financial information until the audit is complete and plans to do so when appropriate.”
From March 20, 2024, 8-K Filing.
“Further, Core Optics’ financial statements are currently being audited. The Company cannot publish financial information until the audit is complete and plans to do so when appropriate.”
We are almost there.
Everyone seems to be holding their breath. I'm looking forward to the activity after the merger is complete.
Walrus,
Excellent DD, thank you for sharing
Minh Le post 3 days ago about looking forward to SEC approval of the merger shows we are close to the completion of the Merger. Obviously he 's getting excited about the close as it gets close. 22 x Venture is listed as Pending Inactive for now according to this link to Virginia Secretary of State web site business entity search just put in 22 x Venture . 22 x Venture has 2 companies listed on the web site under porfolios . IsMedis and Gramercy District .Thats it . The Derma Sound RX is IsMedia if you click on it it takes you to their web site . This company was started march 6 , 2022 last entry April 7 2022 .The company it looks to have been started to work with Core Optics out gates and what is now very soon to be The Coretec Group . So the acquisitions he is looking forward to are i think Coretec related as you dont start a giga factory without funding and possible acquisitions and possibly some good dilution of the stock and a possible reverse split someday .

There are too many rules under the Securities Exchange Act not to have them checked and approved by the SEC, like Rule 501—Accredited Investor. I want to be sure they are who they say they are, or we will be left to hold the whole bag.
Everything is in writing, so the SEC needs to check and see if the rules are being followed and prove them.
I do believe they have to approve foreign mergers...
Yes most definitely, specifically along the lines of disclosure requirements
“The SEC requires that firms involved in M&As comply with specific disclosure requirements to ensure that investors have sufficient information to properly evaluate the transaction.”
https://www.stern.nyu.edu/sites/default/files/assets/documents/Liu%20Shu%20Towery%20Wang-The%20Role%20of%20External%20Regulators.pdf
The SEC definitely has a role to play in approving most, if not all, mergers involving public companies. The S-4 form we are all waiting to see marking merger approval is an SEC form.
I don't believe the SEC 'approves' mergers as it shouldn't be up to them who merges with who. They just stand by and make sure all the rules are followed.
If we're waiting on SEC then I stand by my 15 May prognostication.
“and future acquisitions,” I think they're talking about 22X Venture—22 Capital Partners, a private equity company whose Managing partner is Mihn Le.
Here, he mentions some of the work 22 X Venture does, including Energy, Giga Plant, and global Battery Supply Chain.
https://www.linkedin.com/company/22xventures/?miniCompanyUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniCompany%3A88967968
He also says looking forward to SEC approval. Makes me think maybe everything is completed and just waiting on the SEC!
I would say prove you can make this merger work before trying another, but Mihn Le is a managing partner at 22 Capital Partners. Acquisitions is his day job and he is probably looking forward to additional projects for his firm not necessarily involving Coretec.
Mihn Le - A seasoned executive and entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience in strategy, technology, and real estate development. His career highlights include leading roles at Accenture – managing $500 million in business development, and at DoD, overseeing significant defense and aerospace projects.
