Use to get somewhat decent volume but hasn't traded much at all since the r/s. It annoys me when they do reverse's on low floats, float was already well under 2M so there was no need for it, all it did was make it highly illiquid and piss off the existing shareholders they had.

[$hellKing]

If they can turn around and make a profit I might add some of this. Heck .20s I would take 5k at least.

[Big Brother]

Here are the requirements, which they easily meet, one of the big differences is they will have the guidance of their DAD, Brean Capital, LLC as a QX company.

BB, what dose it take to move up to the QX board?

KNBA!

[Big Brother]

I'm almost hoping this drops below .20, if that happens I will buy as much as I can, even though it's ridiculously illiquid now I believe once they uplist to the QX that will change....or I hope so anyway......the way I see it certainly can't get much worse.

[alpinefrost]

KNBA, WE HAVE NEWS!!!

(QB) board YES!!!!!

[alpinefrost]

Thanks Big B, I to just waiting and hope!

[Big Brother]

Really don't really do much new DD here anymore, don't see the point as this is basically dead until they can uplist to the QX or get another IR who actually understands how to create awareness for penny stocks.

However, I ran across this video the other day and forgot to post it, shows some chick in front of one of Kinbasha's parlors in Tokyo.

[Big Brother]

Someone willing to offer a bunch up at .30 today, it this wasn't so ridiculously illiquid I'd have considered buying more.

[Big Brother]

Read this article today, wonder what the odds are of Kinbasha becoming one of those merger/acquisition targets..? Would be a good way for Dynam to go public in the US. Plus they could probably get Kinbasha dirt cheap...lol.

Hong Kong-listed pachinko operator Dynam Japan plans to open more halls in Japan to strengthen its market position while also seeking partnerships in Asia to expand outside its home market.

Chairman and chief executive Yoji Sato said the "internal target" is to increase the number of halls to 1,000 in 10 years from the current 356. But he stressed that it is a goal, not a commitment.

A game akin to vertical pinball, Pachinko is a highly fragmented market in Japan.

As the country's top pachinko operator by number of halls, Dynam occupies 2.72 per cent of the market.

If the Tokyo-based company could reach its goal of more halls, its market share could jump to 10 per cent. Today the aggregate market share of the top 10 pachinko hall operators is 8.7 per cent in terms of the number of halls, according to Dynam.

It has opened one new hall since the stock started trading in Hong Kong in August.

The company said it would increase the number of halls by opening new ones as well as through mergers and acquisitions.

"One third of the new halls will be opened through acquisition," said Sato.

He said that while the company would focus on the Japan market, it would also actively look for opportunities to tap into the other Asian markets, including Macau.

"We are discussing with potential partners, but at this stage it is hard to tell (when the deal can be realised)," he said at a media briefing on the company's latest results briefing yesterday.

Dynam reported a 25 per cent rise in profit for the six months ended September 30 to HK$927 million from a year earlier.

Revenue went up 0.8 per cent to HK$8.2 billion.

Gross pay-in, which is the amount received by pachinko hall operators from renting pachinko balls and pachislot tokens to customers, increased by 5.1 per cent to HK$46.5 billion over the period.

In Japan, the pachinko market measured by gross pay-ins has decreased to HK$2.1 trillion in 2010 from HK$2.7 trillion in 2006, Dynam said.

The company expects the market to bottom out in 2013, when the effect of introducing machines in 2007 that cost players less to play wanes as the market becomes saturated.

The share price of Dynam, the first Japanese company to go public in Hong Kong, fell 10.4 per cent to close at HK$12.54 each on the first day of trading.

The stock went up 2.8 per cent yesterday in a weaker overall market to close at HK$14 apiece, hitting its offer price.

[Big Brother]

Yep not far off from getting back to profitability, they seem to have weathered the earthquake in more ways then one.

Plus I think the QX is really going to help with the liquidity issue as well....at least I hope so.

Still not happy at all with the job Trilogy is doing to create awareness though and I doubt Kinbasha is either.

[negativegeforce]

Woah, they really cut down on the bleeding. They aren't that far from being profitable now. Just stop paying the CEO and they are in the GREEN.

Net losses also decreased for Kinbasha with losses of $391,000 and $2.3 million in the three months and six months ended September 30, 2012

[ragi]

One of these days traders/investors might wake up an notice this long time company and the low share price for such an institution and this will start moving up!!!

[alpinefrost]

NEWS! Kinbasha revenues increased.

[TakeChances]

Slowly but surely that is their plan. I might not be 100 years old before it happens. lol

Kinbasha reported revenues of $23.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $4.5 million compared to $19.1 million in the same period of 2011. The increase in revenues was primarily a result of increased customer turnout at Kinbasha's various locations, as well as the reopening of a parlor that had been badly damaged in the earthquake and tsunami in 2011. Likewise, Kinbasha's net loss for the first quarter ending June 30, 2012 improved to $1.9 million, compared to a net loss of $5.3 million in the same period of 2011. This overall improvement to the bottom-line was primarily attributable to increased sales and improved machine management by Kinbasha's team.
"We are pleased with the fact that we were able to enhance our bottom-line as we build upon our 2012 results and implement a series of initiatives to open new parlors throughout Japan," Mr. Takahama continued

[enthalpy]

The company needs to become lean and trim the upper managment back so it becomes profitable so that the share price goes up!

[enthalpy]

Yes, but they are losing millions per quarter due to G&A expenses so they have ot been profitable!

[alpinefrost]

Is it that real! we have been waiting for anything!
It must be how things are done there?

Feeling a little better, hell may add more now!

[flick]

To coin Steve Martin: "When what freezes over?".

Happy Thanksgiving...

[Big Brother]

I can pretty much guarantee it will happen sometime before the next ice age....lol.

[flick]

Let's see how long it takes.

[Big Brother]

Excellent, excellent news here, Kinbasha uplisting to the OTCQX, hopefully this should improve liquidity, many people look at the QX tier as a stepping stone to the big boards.

http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=55118211&symbol=KNBA

[negativegeforce]

Might yet get a run out of this thing, lol.

Ask has jumped back up at least...$1.55. That's not far from my average, lol.

[Big Brother]

Granted it's not a ton of volume but it was 12% of the float, the most since the reverse split and the most we have seen since way back in March. We can only hope that Trilogy was waiting for Kinbasha to become fully reporting before really trying to create any awareness. Perhaps now they can start earning their money......fingers crossed.

I'd certainly add some more here at these levels if KNBA started showing even the smallest amount of liquidity, it's insanely undervalued at these prices.

[negativegeforce]

Nice, fully reporting!! Nice volume coming in too :)

[Jronpar]

Unfortunately, your comparison says it all! Pink/OTC is the Wild West, where the sheriff is "Pump & Dump"

[Big Brother]

No kidding.

To put it into perspective here is PWEI vs KNBA one is a promo getting pumped heavily right now one is not. Just shows you how stupid this Pink/OTC garbage is.

These guys that talk about fundamentals on the boards in the Pinks/OTC always crack me up because those don't mean crap here, it's all about pump nothing more.

KNBA
______

- .41 cents PPS

- $150M in assets
- $100M in revenues
- 162K float
- 7M O/S

PWEI
________

- .47 cents pps

- $476K in assets
- $0 Revenues
- 160M float
- 475M o/s

[Jronpar]

Correct, insanely crazy!

[flick]

You can say that again, brother...

[Big Brother]

So we are at .41 now with:

- $150M in assets
- $100M in revenues
- 162K float

We are trading below Chinese companies valuations and this is not even a Chinese company.....lol....that's some crazy chit.

One of these days this is bound to wake up, surely this can't stay down here forever right..?? This company has been in business for over 50 years...it's just nuts.

[Big Brother]

It seems like foreign companies doing reverse mergers are really out of favor right now with both real investors and traders, I guess all those China RM scams screwed it up for everyone.

Hopefully 2013 will be better, otherwise I need a new investment strategy because what I've been doing these last couple of years ain't really working....lol.

[alpinefrost]

Brother, I know it is sad! KNBA has a lot going for it WE have seen your DD.

I'm holding out that they just don't know how to handle it in the pinks.

This is not a start up company! its a full up making bank has real income, great holdings, they just aren't getting any INFO out here in the USA were they got a shell? to help KNBA!

I do think after the earth quake thay need some exter $$$ to do repairs.

Can only sit a wate, maybe they see the light soon!

AP

[Big Brother]

I know crazy isn't it..??

It's really sad that traders go apechit over these garbage stinky Pink/OTC companies that have no business, no revenues, no assets, can barely afford a pot to piss in and the only money they have goes into running paid pumps........yet a company like Kinbasha, which is arguably the most legit corporation in Pennyland, a HUGE company that has more going for it then 99% of the other crap out there gets no volume or interest at all.....nothing, nada, zip.....it's just wrong on so many levels.

[alpinefrost]

KNBA! thought that a good Japanese company would do better!
just one more pink! can only hold at this point.

[negativegeforce]

Back to pre R/S prices. Awesome.

[Big Brother]

Agree completely, I mean come on .51...really..?? This is ridiculous, it's almost like they have given up already. That's the one thing I hate about dealing with foreign companies, I think they are oblivious to what it takes to be liquid here in the US and when they can't raise any capital they give up to quickly. I've seen it happen many times but mostly Chinese companies, this isn't Chinese they should be doing better then this, it's just sad.

[Jronpar]

Hey KNBA management - FIRE TRILOGY IMMEDIATELY. AND HIRE A COMPETENT IR! 51 CENTS TODAY - DISGUSTING!!!

[Jronpar]

Hello Trilogy - Anyone home? 59 cents last trade with 51 cents bid!
Horrible IR AWARENESS!!!

[a r]

Concurred.

Sad, but truthful.

I just let my small position in this sit and wait. Maybe one day we'll get a nice surprise.

[Jronpar]

Brother, I really appreciate all the DD you've supplied to this board. And the quality iBox info. With the extremely tight float now and the huge revenue stream, I do believe KNBA will be "discovered" SOME DAY by the investment community and turn into a MULTI-BAGGER. But how much longer will we have to wait? Trilogy certainly does suck, but some how, some way KNBA will have its day IMO GLTA

[Big Brother]

Yep I agree, stock went from being semi-illiquid to totally frozen after the r/s and Trilogy hasn't done a darn thing to help matters any.

I'm not quite ready to give up on this yet but getting close.

[flick]

I totally agreee. They stink!

[Jronpar]

WOW - A trade at 63 cents and now 51 cents bid. TRILOGY is sure doing a fantastic investor awareness campaign. NOT! I sincerely hope we are not paying them one cent in stock or cash for their miserable representation. TRAGIC!

[alpinefrost]

checking in too! for now on the hold put away but see good things to come IMOP!

[a r]

Awareness would be nice.

[Big Brother]

Phew just got caught up with all the posts here over the last week or so...lol

Anyway, I'm still here just not doing any more DD on Kinbasha because it isn't worth it at this point, nothing new that I could dig up is going to have any effect as this obviously isn't going to be a stock iHubbers are interested in. Unless a stock is getting a lot of pump and has .000 or .00 in front of the pps iHubbers generally aren't interested.

It's basically up to the company and Trilogy now, what they are doing isn't working so they need to take a new approach. Perhaps some kind of legitimate awareness campaign might help?? Hell I'd settle for any awareness at this point, the PR's certainly aren't helping.

[TakeChances]

I agree, this company moves so slowly it is painful. Best to just tuck the shares away and then hopefully wake up one morning to major volumes and gains.

[Big Brother]

lol...yeah hope they don't consider QB a "senior exchange" I could live with QX for awhile though until they got on the big boards, which is where they absolutely need to be.

Wish things would have turned out better for us here in the short term but I think we still might have our day, granted that might not be today or tomorrow but some day hopefully.

Going to just stash my shares away in the portfolio and forget about em for awhile.

[TakeChances]

Woohoo at least we got some decent news. Just curious though, when they say higher exchange I hope they just don't mean a higher tier on the OTCBB.

I wish they would have reiterated big boards etc. Sorry my bad just saw they said senior exchange! NICE!!!

[Big Brother]

Yeah, I agree, I definitely like this part:

"Now that we have fully audited results for the past three years, we look forward to finalizing our Form 10 process and becoming a fully reporting company with the SEC -- one step closer to our goal of listing on a senior exchange."

Going to take me awhile to go though that massive filing but just glancing though I see they sold off their 3 restaurants, so I removed the pictures and info from the iBox about them.

To be honest those restaurants never looked like much to me anyway so if they weren't making any money best to just cut em loose.
