Yes, really would be nice to know the status of the pouch cell testing, in addition to Sony and Texas Instruments with Tof testing
I believe we are well positioned for future growth in both the CCM business and the EV battery industry with the Endurion active anode material. “Core Optics LLC is a significant player in the compact camera module (CCM) business, but I couldn't find a specific percentage of their market share ¹. They are a leading provider of inspection equipment for CCMs, which are used in smartphones and automobiles. Their products include camera testing machines, calibration machines, and image grabbers designed for quality assurance and performance evaluation of camera systems ². Core Optics LLC has partnerships with major companies like Samsung, Apple, and Hyundai, and has a strong presence in the automotive and mobile device markets ¹.”
Excellent, thanks for sharing!
Amen 🙏 believing for great developments!
Victor Keen is now a Director on the board, which I believe is encouraging and the new leadership has a good track record. Looking forward to seeing good news in the near future.
I really needed to see that article, thanks for the timely post
I still believe the Endurion project and CSpace will come to fruition and patience is a virtue. Abraham waited 25 years to see Isaac born.😎 Perhaps the Carlton James Group will exhibit patience as well and we’ll all prosper as a result
Yeah, it’s definitely frustrating
Key Highlights:
Successfully developed the isCrown array system with full automation collimation for 8-degree and 15-degree FOV.
Initiated R&D for Mobileye certification, with completion expected by the end of next year.
Collaborating with Hyundai Mobis on the development of equipment for high-resolution camera modules.
Engaged in a PrePV stage PO process in partnership with Hyundai Mobis.
completed the delivery of a mass production line for Hyundai's flagship vehicle camera to a Tier 2 automotive camera supplier in Korea.

Walrus,
I didn’t ask juststoppingby about whether or not the document was signed. I suspect he paid the $5 fee and was able to open up
"We are experiencing high demand for our equipment, particularly in the automotive sector, and have plans in place to scale production to meet this growing demand," said Dr. Kim, Chief Executive Officer of The Coretec Group. "The compact camera module market is seeing significant expansion, and our well-established product line positions us to increase revenue while also developing new products that will attract additional customers. Our presence in the U.S. opens doors to North American manufacturers and thriving capital markets, which we believe will elevate our corporate profile on a global scale."
I didn’t notice that. Great catch!
Yeah I agree
Thank you for sharing this. I agree with your analysis. I look forward to reading about positive news in the near future.
Definitely need to see the entire document, but the wording below seems to indicate that there are provisions for both mandatory and discretionary conversions.
"to the following discretionary and mandatory conversion and redemption provisions:"
a. Discretionary Conversion. At any time after its issuance the holder of such Series C Preferred, at ils option, may convert all or part of its Series C Preferred into Two Hundred Thiny (230) shares of Common Stock per share of Series C Preferred (a " Discretionary Conversion
I think there would be a part b addressing a mandatory conversion.
The last post doubled
Awesome find Walrus! Thanks again for the DD!
We should see SEC filings and a PR after hours today.
Here's the latest on CRTG Company Officers & Contacts and Board of Directors

I saw that Alex Hong is a consultant for CRTG on the OTCmarkets.com:

Might get an official filing after the bell or overnight so they can announce to their Korean counterparts the audit is complete. Just guessing. Could be interesting after hours.
Wondering if there was a leak on the merger finalized
Gunny,
I think we will see CRTG on the OTCQB for a while until meeting initial listing requirements on a senior exchange. I think a lot of investors are realizing that the share exchange has closed and are expecting the official notification any day now.
"ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Coretec Group, Inc. (OTCQB: CRTG) (the “Company”), developer of silicon anode active materials for lithium-ion batteries, and cyclohexasilane (CHS) for EV, cleantech, and 3D display technology, and Core Optics, LLC (“Core Optics”) announced today that they have entered into a definitive share exchange agreement pursuant to which, on the closing date, the Company is expected to acquire 100% of the membership interests of Core Optics, LLC and its subsidiaries which hold all its tangible assets and intellectual property across all its technologies and industry verticals. Subsequent to the closing of the transaction, the combined company will continue to operate under the name The Coretec Group, Inc. and trade under the ticker symbol CRTG, before pursuing uplisting to a senior exchange when it believes the combined company can satisfy initial listing requirements. The Closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions."
When a SEC Form S-4 is filed, the filing date is not counted as one of the business days for notification. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) considers the filing date as Day 0, and the notification period begins on the next business day.
According to the SEC's rules, the filing date is the date when the filing is received by the SEC, and the notification period starts on the next business day. Business days are typically Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays.
So, if a Form S-4 is filed on a Monday, the 4-business-day notification period would start on Tuesday (Day 1) and end on Friday (Day 4).
So, we will know by Wednesday for sure 👍🏻
Amen Gunny,
So glad to hear that all is going well with Marsha’s treatment. Lauren and I look forward to celebrating the victories that the Lord is bringing into your lives and ours!
It could very well be, or the 21st at the latest
Amen 🙏
I do think we’ll see a bump once the filings/PRs are issued confirming the share exchange is done. Also, I would not be surprised to see an update on Endurion pouch cell testing, or a S Korean battery manufacturer showing interest in using the active anode material.
Gary,
To estimate a fair price for the stock, I used a simplified approach based on the provided information. Please note that this is a rough estimate:
1. Revenue growth rate: 100% (from $8M to $16M)
2. Also, CRTG authorized share (AS) amount is still 1.5 Billion so anticipating the OS count going to 1,030,561,076, since the 10,000,000 Series C Preferred Stock will be convertible into 1,500,000,000 Common Stock, but would exceed the AS amount and conversion is not mandatory at the present time.
3.Total outstanding shares after the exchange:
315,000,000 + 705,561,076 + 10,000,000 =
1,030,561,076
Let's use the Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio method, which is suitable for early-stage companies.
Assumptions:
- Industry average P/S ratio: 5-10 (varies depending on the industry)
- Growth factor: 1.5 (due to high growth rate)
Estimated 2025 Revenue: $16M
Estimated 2025 Enterprise Value (EV): $16M x 7.5 (avg. P/S ratio) = $120M
Estimated 2025 Equity Value: $120M (assuming no debt)
Now, let's calculate the estimated fair price per share:
Estimated Fair Price = Estimated Equity Value / Outstanding Shares
= $120M / 1,030,561,076
˜ $0.11644 (or $0.12)
Bob
Yeah, no filing to indicate any delays. Also, CRTG authorized share (AS) amount is still 1.5 Billion so anticipating the OS count going to 1,030,561,076, since the 10,000,000 Series C Preferred Stock will be convertible into 1,500,000,000 Common Stock, but would exceed the AS amount and conversion is not mandatory at the present time
Total shares after the exchange:
315,000,000 + 705,561,076 + 10,000,000 =
1,030,561,076
This should give CRTG ~.12 value after the dust settles.
The time frame for a company to report a share exchange as complete varies depending on the specific circumstances and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Here are some general guidelines:
- Form 8-K: A company must file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days of the completion of a share exchange that is considered a "material event" (such as a merger, acquisition, or significant business combination).
Form S-4 is a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to register securities issued in connection with business combinations, such as mergers, acquisitions, and exchange offers.
The filing deadline for Form S-4 varies depending on the specific transaction and the company's status. Here are some general guidelines:
- For mergers and acquisitions:
- Pre-effective amendment: 30 days after filing (SEC review period)
- Effective date: 10-20 days after pre-effective amendment (SEC declares effectiveness)
- For exchange offers:
- Filing deadline: Not later than 20 business days before the expiration date of the exchange offer
- Effectiveness: Typically declared by the SEC 10-15 days after filing
That’s what I’m thinking 🤔
I suppose that CHS synthesis may still be on the back burner until they have funds to support further research at Eindhoven University and CEA in Paris
The current outstanding share count was used to estimate a fair price for the stock. Here’s a simplified approach based on the provided information.
1. Revenue growth rate: 100% (from $8M to $16M)
2. Outstanding shares: 335 million
Let's use the Price-to-Sales (P/S) ratio method, which is suitable for early-stage companies.
Assumptions:
- Industry average P/S ratio: 5-10 (varies depending on the industry)
- Growth factor: 1.5 (due to high growth rate)
Estimated 2025 Revenue: $16M
Estimated 2025 Enterprise Value (EV): $16M x 7.5 (avg. P/S ratio) = $120M
Estimated 2025 Equity Value: $120M (assuming no debt)
Now, let's calculate the estimated fair price per share:
Estimated Fair Price = Estimated Equity Value / Outstanding Shares
= $120M / 335M
˜ $0.358 (or $0.36)
Consider this a rough estimate, as it doesn't account for various factors like:
- Industry-specific P/S ratios
- Net income and profit margins
- Debt and cash reserves
- Market conditions and sentiment
- Competitive landscape
Keep in mind that this estimate is based on simplified assumptions and should not be considered investment advice.
We received the amended Share Exchange closing date via the form 8K filed on June 27, 2024.
“ Section 10.1 of the Existing agreement is hereby amended by deleting the words "June 30, 2024" from the sentence "As used
herein, the "Final Date" shall be June 30, 2024," and substituting in lieu thereof the words "July 31, 2024 ”
Therefore, since no additional information was provided up to the present time, I anticipate the closing to go final on Wednesday July 31, 2024.
FWIW:
There are no indications that the share exchange agreement between The Coretec Group and Core Optics LLC will be delayed ¹. However, here are some points to consider:
- *Closing Conditions*: The Coretec Group has resolved key closing conditions for the transaction with Core Optics, LLC, including the repurchase of warrants and the conversion of preferred stock ².
- *Audit Requirements*: Core Optics, LLC is still working to complete audit requirements, which could potentially delay the closing of the share exchange agreement ².
- *Financial Performance*: Core Optics, LLC has reported strong revenue growth, which could impact the timing of the share exchange agreement ¹.
- *No Official Statement*: There has been no official statement from either company indicating a delay in the share exchange agreement.
*Important Dates*
- *July 31, 2024*: Scheduled closing date of the share exchange agreement ¹.
- *June 18, 2024*: The Coretec Group resolved key closing conditions for the transaction with Core Optics, LLC ².
- *June 28, 2024*: The Coretec Group announced that the share exchange transaction with Core Optics, LLC has progressed toward the final closing ¹.
I had to correct the meta AI:
You are correct. I apologize for the mistake. The Form S-4 is typically filed after the closing date of the transaction, not before.
The Form S-4 is a registration statement that registers the shares issued in connection with the merger or share exchange agreement. It is usually filed after the transaction has closed, and the shares have been issued.
The typical timeline is:
1. Close the transaction (e.g., July 31, 2024)
2. File the Form S-4 (e.g., August 2024 or later)
The Form S-4 will include information about the transaction, the companies involved, and the securities issued, as well as financial statements and other disclosures.
Thank you for pointing out my mistake. I will make sure to correct it.
I think they would put out a PR
