I can’t explain but to call Trep and STTN a scam is a stretch! This “scam” has been around for A LONG TIME! This “scam” did a few rounds with the IRS, fought, settled, paid and came out the other side. This “scam” has had PLENTY of opportunity to dilute and HASN'T! Trep is also making rev’s. So yes I’m frustrated as a Shareholder but to call it a “scam” is a stretch
How do you explain how they purchased two supposed million dollar revenue companies for a thousand dollars? This reaks of scam.
Makes sense to me, and seems logical. Of course this is all speculation, but seems logical. Might actually be a reason for the delayed uplisting and audited results. Especially when you balance the costs of being on the OTC and no dilution all these years. Makes sense.
Is TREP a take-over target…an essay:
The short answer is YES ! It’s said that the only reason to run an OTC company is to be able to use the markets to raise capital. They have never done so, nor do they show any signs of doing so. I can’t find a form 10 or a 1A or any other registration filed to execute a public or private offering. So we can rule that benefit out. The last several Qs have clearly shown that they do not need to raise capital with shares to continue to operate.
Running an OTC company is a hassle. Just to stay current with the SEC filings requires time and resources and detracts from the focus required to run the business. Shedding that burden would certainly be welcome.
What’s it worth: It currently has a tangible value of about $17M. That is about .33/share before adding for additions to the balance sheet from earnings in Q3. The debt is minimal at about $1.5M and doesn’t come due until 2023. (this is all in the filings BTW). To pay .40/share for Trucept Inc would not be to buy it. It would be to steal it!
Who would want it: Any equity firm or holding company that wanted to enhance their portfolio through the addition of a valuable and profitable company. Or any competitor in their peer group who wanted to expand their market share.
Who would benefit:
1. The acquiring company as mentioned above
2. TREP by shedding the burden of maintain an OTC company
3. The CEO and chairman who would each walk away with $2M using my .40/share example.
The last reason why I think this theory is viable is because management does essentially nothing to enhance visibility which would clearly drive the share price upward. Even the OTCQB certification seems to be dragging out.
This essay is just an extrapolation of my research and contains comments that may be purely coincidental. But it sure looks like TREP is low hanging fruit as a take-over target. You should always do your own research before investing.
I always welcome your well educated comments.
Good luck to all of us,
Willie
Just more old news about nothing. TREP is going places and its up.
in my opinion, the only variables are the timing of the announcements and the PPS.
A 2011 post detailing FACTS about BONAR.
He is a crook.
Gonna keep adding. Setting new highs!
I really hope the company responds with status of their 2020 promises to shareholders. If they do, you're right that this might be sustainable!
Back up to PE of 3. Watch out we may get discovered some day soon. Tangible book value still .33
Here's a shell wearing a yield sign that trades at twice our mkt cap:

We are making progress on financial audits, which was delayed somewhat due to COVID and workplace restrictions. The second half of 2021 will be a very exciting time for our clients and our employees."
What we need is for the audits to be released. TREP is profitable.
TRANSLATION: hey folks, we need some BIGGER fools!
Calling all you Twitter Warriors. We need to increase the chatter on twitter. Even if you have only a handful of followers. Please help the warriors already on board beat the drum. Always start your tweet with $TREP.
Also if Norman tweets out the date of the earnings release, we need to pounce on that and spread it around.
Good Luck to all of us,
Willie
Looking forward to today's action, let's have a great end today!
Awesome! If we can get them to uplist and produce the audited results they promised last year it might help too.
IMPORTANT PLEASE READ:
Going forward and effective immediately myself and a predominant twitter warrior will be providing Norman Tipton directly with suggestions on how to better promote the financial success they are experiencing at Trucept Inc.
Those suggestions will include:
*Better use of their Twitter page to communicate with shareholders
*Various attempts to increase chatter on twitter
*Pursuit of an analyst to initiate coverage of the stock with a price target.
*Attempts to increase chatter on Stockwits and Reddit...and more
We appreciate any help or suggestions we can get. Norman strikes me as an old-school CEO focused on driving profits. However, he is also open to some new school ways of promoting their success. I can't tell him what to do, but I believe you will start to see enhanced visibility.
MY PERSONAL NOTES: I hold a long position in TREP, and believe it is the most undervalued stock on the OTC. Shells frankly trade at a higher Market Cap. I can't and won't make a prediction as to their continued success going forward. You should always do your own due diligence.
Good luck to all of us,
Willie
Of course it's a scam - BRIAN BONAR always runs scams...

Can someone explain how they were able to purchase afinida for a fair value of 3k dollars when they had a supposed 500k revenue? This thing reaks of a scam.
if the numbers tank, then a lot more games will be played with the notes.
Slow and steady. Everything is physics, fast up fast down. We need revenues to sustain.
Significant volume today between the bid/ask (i.e., "?Vol"). What are the thoughts on the board here regarding why? e.g., MM wanting to offload their shares to another MM that's willing to take a position on $trep? Just brainstorming, but really want folks thoughts here.
TREP vs BZWR: The comparison data
Both provide B to B services designed to help business be more profitable, efficient and productive. Very similar business models ! ! !
In the area of revenues TREP is the clear winner with last Q revs of $4.2M while BZWR reported $2.9M. BZWR was the winner in bottom line income with $1.2M vs TREP at $.65M
Regarding share structure, TREP has 33M floating shares and holding while BZWR has $105M and climbing.
TREP is the clear winner in valuations with a book value of $17M while BZWR comes in at a fraction of that with $1.4M.
The big difference is in market cap. At the time of this writing TREP would have to increase its share price by almost 10 times to equal BZWR's cap of $85M
I state again that we just need to be discovered.
Good luck to all of us,
Willie
The only thing with "longevity" is the shell - the business plans keep crashing and burning.
This is a scam.
I hear ya. But their longevity is starting to mean something now after all these years. They’re not just surviving but also growing with a responsible SS. Maybe not “excited” but definitely hopeful
Great, it's generating plenty of moves in the process!
Yeah it sure seems like we’re getting some visibility. Consistently improving fundamentals this past year might make this run very different
Over 30k was bought at .1675....Hold on tight, ...
This baby about to go over.30, why would you sell it now.....Unbelievable!!!
I hear ya, good luck on your next gamble.
I really hope it does for you guys but I'm happy just to get my 2 grand back. Bonar & Fong really stuck it to me in the early 2000's.
GLTA
Now watch it go on a crazy multi month run. That's usually how it works with these things. If you're 'lucky' enough to get out at break even on one of these long red holds, it generally means it's on it's way to make a lot more noise. Chart is screaming breakout here.
COUNTING THE PE UP..NOW 3 ! ! It still has to more than double to get to book value.
Whooooo! After 10 years holding the bag for this POS stock I was able to get out with a $20. profit. Winning!
$TREP starting to run and is very much under the radar, and it's sister company $DFCO is setting up to follow suit soon. IMO both are going to be in play here.
This company is worthless - no way it can be "undervalued" until delisted.
This company is so undervalued and who ever is selling today is going to find out here shortly how cheap they sold their shares.
Absolutely amazing that BONAR would go back into payroll services - someone got snookered...
Let's see if it can rise up, which would be a positive sign.
HERE'S WHY TREP WILL GET DISCOVERED:
If they simply continue to do what they have done over the past 2 Qs, for the next 2 Qs, they will report a net profit of about $2.6M over the 12 trailing months. With a market cap of just over $5M that is a PE OF 2 !
And it has to triple from current prices just to get to tangible book value. Let me put it this way...if they ceased operations, melted the company down and sold it for the sum of the parts we would all get about 33 cents per share.
If fundamentals ever mattered in the OTC and if TREP gets discovered this will EXPLODE !
I'm buying more in the morning.
Willie
I loaded today. This resembles BZWR in alot of ways. Low float. EXPLOSIVE revenues and earnings. Solid balance sheet. Can't find any boobie traps in it.
Would help to see some Twitter chatter on it tonight.
Good luck to all of us,
Willie
Maybe it's just me, but I think we should be doing better than this.
