All very good points and one of the reasons I am here. However, borrowing 100k, 40k, and 70k seems to be the easy part.
This is the scenario I see playing out. The company does everything by the books exactly how to they told us in the 10qs and conference calls. They work their way into costco, then into sam's, then into kroger, oh and a new order from a Chinese supermarket comes in for a few million cans. If they have the equipment to do 10 million cans a year and those orders pour in, where would the money come from to buy the materials, pay the employees, pay the sales people, pay the overhead, when you aren't getting paid on those cans for several months down the road? Do you think the officers are going to lend them 5 million, 10 million dollars at no interest, to fulfill those orders?
Now they do have 3 million in financing which is enough to get started no doubt. That limit could be raised if orders are strong, let's hope that is the case!
Listen I hope they don't issue ONE more share and if someone believes they won't then by all means, go all in on Monday!
I'm not trying to bash anybody's strategy here, but when people tell me the company has never diluted and will never dilute, then it makes you kind of raise your eyebrows. People can believe what they want and trade how they want.... I'm waiting for lower prices!
The DD looks really solid, thanks for making that! I can't add or take away anything you said there. Seems like the best strategy, like I said online just isn't viable for the long term, but it may help boost sales to the point where retailers will pay attention. If you go into costcos with no sales and no advertising in place, your prospects for getting in are not very good.
I think incrementally building sales to justify each new phase is the smart path. Online sales are indiscriminate, any one can buy and no one needs to no the track record, so it is a perfect place to start. QVC may need to see proof of concenpt, proof that they can make money from this, so using online sales numbers to convince them makes that easier. Next you go to costco with the combined numbers and multiple marketing campaigns and a willingness to do in store demos and that will make the job easier to get approved.
Not my first rodeo. I will say this though, last time I saw a stock NOT dilute and pull 40 million revenue they went from .006 cents to .28 in a period of 3 months! Let's hope they don't and they max out their equipment capacity!
I think as a novelty item the pancakes will sell online well enough. Maybe a million dollars worth!! However, unless you are rich you can't afford to feed your family off of a 10$(+ shipping) can of pancakes. It needs to be in retailers and the cost needs to come down before we start getting the numbers batter blaster did. Like the 10q said first online, magazine, print ads, then QVC... then costcos.
Hopefully with their experience, connections, and infrastructure this won't take years and be dragged out to a point where most investors just give up. Hopefully in the next six months we can see those deals being struck and their plant running at full capacity!
ps I think this will sell really well to campers, outdoorsmen, and hungover people! lol
I'm just doing some hypothetical conservative valuations here and it all comes out positive!
Let's take everything from the 10q.
The company says they want to sell 3.2 million cans the first 18 months. That is roughly 2 million cans in the first year. They also want to sell a two pack at Costco for 11(I think) and they will receive 10% net profit on the cans. that .55cents per can.
Total net profit for a year is 1.1 million dollars. Now just for arguments sake, let's say they do dilute up to 150 million shares in that year time period. That gives them a an eps of .007 multiply with a standard 20 multiplier and we get 15 cents per share.
No dilution, 30 cents a share, more sales 50 cents a share......
Then again none of this means anything, when you are a pink sheet stock! I do see potential though, gotta get those costcos of the world to sign on and revenues to climb and we will do well.
I understand, I'm just trying to be realistic here, when people say there is no dilution and never will be any, it kind of makes you mmmmhmm! lol
Issuing shares isn't the problem, if you can see a return from their issuance then that is the goal. If we take the companies' word at all things, including the PRs stating all the positives. Then we must also believe the stuff we don't like either. Including the fact that they say they will sell stock to fund their expansion!
Of course everyone needs to read these things themselves and draw their own conclusions. I'm really just talking out loud and trying to nail down a strategy with this stock. I think there is money to be made here, just gotta figure it all out first.
Per the 10Q
"As of February 28, 2015, the Company had $1,328 in cash and a total of $1,328 in assets. In management's opinion, the Company's cash position is insufficient to maintain its operations at the current level for the next 12 months. Any expansion may cause the Company to require additional capital until such expansion began generating revenue. It is anticipated that the raise of additional funds will principally be through the sales of our securities. As of the date of this report, additional funding has not been secured and no assurance may be given that we will be able to raise additional funds."
How could people not understand this statement, I'm almost at a complete loss as to why people are arguing with me here!!!
I mean their are better opportunities to pick a price here. I will be a buyer just not at this valuation. One of the reasons I am here is the fact that Batter Blaster did so much in sales. It has part of the same management and they have honed the formula on how to make this successful this time around! The future looks bright there is no doubt about it and I see an EASY multi-bagger in the works!
There is no need to convince me of the potential here, it is clear to see. My issue is very relevant, may be the most relevant with regard to share price, they WILL sale securities to fund growth...... period! Minus any OUTSTANDING news to maintain these current stock prices, coupled with the sale of securities and this stock will fall, IMHO!
I'm not so worried about the 11 million shares, this is what I'm worried about.
As of February 28, 2015, the Company had $1,328 in cash and a total of $1,328 in assets. In management's opinion, the Company's cash position is insufficient to maintain its operations at the current level for the next 12 months.

As of the date of this report, additional funding has not been secured and no assurance may be given that we will be able to raise additional funds.
They have received 3 million in financing at 0%. Yet they have the capability to do 40 million in revenue each year. 3 million is NOT going to cover that if Costco, Sam's, walmart.....etc start placing orders. The company knows this and states VERY clearly in the 10q they will dilute to cover expenses until they are profitable.
The facts are STARING people right in the face and they continue to buy into a stock with a 5.6~ million valuation and little to no sales. I'm all for being optimistic but I mean at some point we all need to start being realistic, save your money for better opportunities is all I'm saying!
This is the second time I've seen someone say that the company is not diluting! Please people do your own dd before investing!

Weighted average number of shares outstanding, basic and diluted
66,514,286 Three months ended February 28th, 2015
From their website!
Share Structure
(as of May 14, 2015)
Authorized: 300,000,000
Common Shares Outstanding: 77,250,000
So you see since February 28th to today the company has already issued nearly 11 million shares(a near 17% increase). From their own 10q they anticipate the need to further dilute to provide funds for their own growth until revenue from the products is sufficient enough to provide the capital they need. When will that day come? My guess is several months, until that day comes expect dilution.
They need to get rid of the corn syrup in the syrup. I'd try some, but, I can't touch the stuff. :(
The future certainly looks bright! Just gotta take the time to find that right entry point and we'll make money here.
This is from the April 14 2015 10Q released a month ago!

Now the 3 million loan
Nate’s Food Co. (NHMD) announced today that the Company is finalizing non-dilutive purchase order financing up to $3,000,000. The financing will provide the company the capital necessary to fulfill customer orders related to the national roll-out.
The benefits of moving production from Los Angeles to Fairfield include control over the production line and equipment, a 300% increase in production space, additional storage for raw materials, reduction in freight expenses and an increase in the quality control of the product. The line cost approximately $400,000 and is being financed by SouthCorp Capital (STHC).
This is the best part, the loans seem to be covering new equipment and future purchase orders. Unfortunately it still won't be enough to cover all the cash they will need and the company knows that and states in the 10q that they will need to issue more stock. Per the 10q and the companies own website in the past 3 months the o/s has increased 17%. I expect that trend to continue, based off of what the company is telling us and the fact they have already started diluting.
All of that being said, the financing they do have in place is gold for a startup like this. Dilution should be minimal but it will still effect the stock price.
The market cap is roughly 6 million right now. I don't see that holding up until more sales and larger box stores are onboard. Mix that with dilution, that once again the company clearly states in the 10q is necessary and the price of this stock will fall, imo!
When it does I will be there and I'll be a buyer and a long. When that PR comes they landed into costco and/or walmart and their projections of 2.1 million cans sold per year is met. Then we are off to the races! GLTY and see you around!
.
I know about all the funding agreements in place. Things change and for someone to say this company will never dilute to "fund" growth, has never traded a stock on the otc markets before. I'm all for being optimistic and I wish your scenario came to pass, but even you have to know better than that. Anyway I'm just throwing out hypotheticals, talking out loud basically, no need to argue over this. I do believe if you bought here you would make money, I just want to make as much as possible and see an opportunity here that if I'm patient I'll make more! GLTY!
Been watching this for a few weeks now and things look to be in order. Simply put, I'm in! Hardest part is trying to pick a price point.
1. Picking any price simply because, one PR with a deal in costco, sam's, or a huge order from QVC, could launch this for a significant gain.
2. Wait a quarter to see sales, let the company dilute to fund growth and pick a lower price point. (Barring any major deal with huge retailers.)
Hmm alot to think about, point is though, with past success with the last product, the companies current preparedness, and the potential for large retail placements. This is a no brainer, money will be made here!!
Another point to longs here, due to advances in social media, we shareholders have the ability to market the product through our own social media connections.
If every long on this board would post a "wow this cool"(not giving away the fact you are a shareholder) type post on their fb, twitter, pinterest.... etc and ask others you know to do the same, just us alone could reach 10,000s people!
Going to start taking a position over the next few weeks and average down or make a ton when this goes parabloic!
Long and Strong GLTA!
Ok, work's been driving me like a slave! Back to some DD, still working on that list, just need to recoup from two weeks and 140 hours! lol
anyway found this lovely article demonstrating the thermal properties of graphene! Graphene can only be as big as we all want it to be, if it starts to replace and find new uses on a mass scale. This example is one of those ways it will do just that!
Graphene
"The scientists developed a heat-spreader that consists of a copper-graphene composite that was attached to an "electronic device" with an indium-graphene interface film. Tests showed that the increased conductivity by using graphene can dissipate heat about 25 percent faster than pure copper. Kasichainula also noted that graphene is less expensive than pure copper, which could reduce the cost of heat spreaders in the future."
25% is no laughing matter. Many items require heat to either be transfered or eliminated for these things to function. 25% boost will make items last longer, be cheaper, be smaller, be more powerful. Add on top of that the efficiencies from the electrical side with graphene and the items mixed with the heat dissipation properties. We could see items be 50 - 100% more powerful just by adding or replacing things with graphene while saving money!
IMO, this is much much bigger than Rare Earths, in the not too distant future nearly every electrical/mechanical item you own could have graphene in it!
My favorite sleeper CVN.V just saw some massive volume today. Not making any recommendations but keep an eye on it!
Ok got the rest of the night off. Gonna start compiling the graphite stock list. Rocket do you want it as a sticky or in the Ibox? Also if anyone has any info or lists saved as documents, notepads, spreadsheets, really whatever just email. My email is located in my account profile under location.
Much appreciated! Here's to profits!
Another to look at is ZC.V Zimtu Capital. They are the ones supplying the claims in exchange for ownership in many of these companies. Worth checking out, stock has done amazing things over the past few months.
Ok we need to start compiling a master list here. Zen was off my radar and it ran 100% in three days! When everyone gets the time start posting your favorites with DD and maybe Rocket can add it put it up in the Ibox or sticky. Also Rocket if you need some help moderating, I know the system and would be happy to help!
Strike Graphite is breaking out as well. Focus, energizer, strike, northern, lomiko they are all on fire right now. I'll be honest I'm happy with these trades so far as is. However, if this is only the tip of the iceberg, then some of us here are set to make a fortune!
Just saw your flexible 3d memory chip article posted on TomsHardware. One the largest online tech websites. Seems we are ahead of the curve here! lol
Definitely! I wrote mine down on this board two weeks ago. My top two are Focus Metals FMS.v and Energizer ENZR and so far so good!
I step out to run some errands and enzr has exploded. Cat is out of the bag it seems. Congratz to all who bought in earlier!
I have some money in this as well. Very promising future here!
Good call! Both have been on fire. With this type of volume and buying Focus won't be this cheap much longer. Don't like making any predictions here, but I'm very comfortable with parking some money in focus and seeing some nice returns in the coming months and years!
Yeah it's looking real good! Focus took off today too. Won't lie, it's rare I get this excited about stocks, especially pinks! lol
Do you happen to have another link to this video? This one just won't load for me.
It keeps getting better? Pinch me lol I was already reading with just today's supply, demand would outstrip mining by 2020. Ok so if China does lock down that 80% then the rest of the world will have to fight for that 20% meaning for some industries outside of China demand will outstrip supply fairly quickly or even right after China locks down.
Yeah that looks better. I just read many times that they had a NI 43101. Been in micro caps for years now and learned then to cover all your bases.
Ok just upgraded Strike Graphite,Lomiko Metals, and Northern Graphite Corp. (NGC.V) from interested to very interested! lol
I'll be honest I haven't been this excited about a group of stocks since silver in mid 2010. I was looking into rare earth stocks and saw some move 140 times!! Rare earths are still promising, but this graphene stuff is far better. The more I look into the technology, the more I start seeing this stuff in the hands and homes of every consumer on the planet. Graphite demand without these new technologies makes the trade promising, but that demand is nothing compared to what is about to come. We're going to make a fortune here!
Also check out the company Zitmu Capital ( TSX:ZC ). They are supplying many of the claims to the exploration companies. They are supplying the claims for cash and shares in all these companies. When all said and done they could be holding tens of millions of shares in these companies. If the companies hit then Zitmu Capital will take off as well.
From that first article the guy says this.
"They have remained strong through all the criticism of not having a NI43-101 compliant resource estimate and not being able to provide any proof of interest by outside entities."
This was written on February 26th. If you go to their website it says this.
"We are a developer, a technology solutions supplier and business innovator. As a technology solutions supplier, our flagship NI 43-101 compliant Lac Knife deposit holds the best technology-grade graphite in the world."
"It contains a NI 43-101 compliant resource of some 8 million tons grading 16% graphite, making it the highest grade graphite resource in the world."
I hate conflicting stories. This guy went to the property and clearly has checked out the company. Why would he say this?
Here are some stocks for you guys that I've run into. Way too much DD for one man to handle. Add, subtract, and improve, let me know what you think!

My favorite so far has to be Focus Metals for the obvious reasons you have already pointed out. They have the highest grade deposit, a NI 43-101 with MEASURED resources, they plan to start producing in a little over a year, and if their economic feasibility checks out they are saying 92 million a year in revenue and 82 million in profits. If this is the case there is no way this stock will stay at a dollar.
My next has to be Energizer Resources. Energizer along with their JV partner located next to them have located one of the largest vanadium resources in the world. They have also been launching several drilling programs recently and have encountered large deposits of graphite at grades of 4-12%. Another amazing factor about this company is they have partnered with DRA Mineral Projects, one the largest and best engineering, procurement and construction management services company. They run mines for Rio Tinto, Vale, and XStrata. They plan to start production in 2015, if they gain a large enough graphite deposit, they will start mining that first and then use those profits to launch their vanadium mining. Stock is at .35$ and has HUGE upside potential.
The last is Cavan Ventures. They just acquired their claim just like all the others, except for the ones I mentioned above. The only good about them is the short term. They have 25 million shares outstanding and their stock is at .06$. Most others on my list have similar share structures or higher and have moved into the 15, 20, 30 cent ranges. This one seems to have flown under the radar and I would be comfortable buying at these levels for a quick flip.
Anyway if this board is about graphite investing and DD, then let's keep expanding this list and updating the information. If graphite stocks turn out to boom like rare earths did, then there is ALOT of money to be made, especially since we are in at the very beginning!
Not only on this stock, but any other company trying to find graphite deposits now.
March 2, 2012 TSX: V.LMR
LOMIKO METALS INC. ANNOUNCES APPROVAL OF $903,320
PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING
Vancouver, BC. - LOMIKO METALS INC. (“Lomiko” or “the Company) is pleased to announce the closing and approval of its previously announced private placement financing on February 3rd,
2012. The Company was successful in raising $903,320 through the sale of 9,033,200 million units (“Units”) at a price of $0.10 per Unit. Each Unit consists of 1 common share and one
share purchase warrant, each full warrant being exercisable at a price of $0.15 for a period of twelve months from the closing date. The securities have now been issued, having a hold period expiring July 2nd, 2012. The Company shall pay a cash commission of $75,000 in regards to the above financing. The proceeds of the offering will be used for exploration purposes and for general operational
expenses.
And they are smart to! At ten cents a share the company was worth nearly 60 million dollars! With only 400k in earnings a quarter the math made no sense. Shorting the stock at those insane valuation levels makes perfect sense!
LOL, same here!
Pms (savings) and subpennies(gambling money), nice way for poor folk like us to strike it rich! lol
