8-K NASDAQ LISTING WARNING
So not only are they telling you again, and about the completion of an already previously announced Financial Obligation, in which they gave away more intellectual property and commercial assets for pennys on the dollar... But they also used it, on the last day allowed, to issue and bury the NASDAQ Failure To Satisfy Listing Warning. On a Friday, after the Market closes, going into a holiday weekend.
Thanks Again Guys !
JMO
Typical Chicken Playbook
The company is sticking to that good old CEO playbook. All failing companies always send their management teams to the same CEO school.
Most everyone already knows they are going to get a NASDAQ warning. But still, the company waits until the very last minute to release the 8-K. I think they have 4 or 5 days to do so, which should be Thursday or Friday.
So instead of showing any integrity, they will wait to release it as close to the Holiday Weekend as possible. They want to diffuse the NASDAQ warning by using the Christmas weekend to "Dilute" the bad news. They try to dilute everything, don't they? Dilution is something they really understand. Along with insider selling during a P-n-D.
This just shows me more weakness on their part. And what about those unaware investors who have no clue about the upcoming NASDAQ warning? Well, it looks like they will have to spend their Christmas with a little bad news, instead of enjoying it. Too bad.
Thanks Guys !
JMO
The Happy Ones
The ones that are happy are those that already sold on the P-n-D. They are already gone and looking for their next victum. This position is now a dead carcus left hanging in the vacuum of insider abuse.
Welcome to the new age of investing.
JMO
AN 8-K WILL BE FILED SOON
It will be release before next Friday,
and it will read something like this :
Notice Of Delisting Or Failure To Satisfy
A Continued Listing Rule Or Standard
On December 16, 2016, The Company, received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market stating that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the common stock had been below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Market as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rules. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has been provided 180 calendar days, or until June 16, 2017, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In order to regain compliance, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must close at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, at which time Nasdaq would provide written confirmation of the Company’s compliance.
The failing P-n-D and continued Fake News will not help a company that is continuously diluting into every Bad Collaboration that comes along. And insiders have been selling at every opportunity. This quarter will have a greater loss than last quarter. There will still be no profits as claimed. Just another trick. Just more Forward-Looking Statements .
They concocted a P-n-D campaign scheme. A scheme supported by repetitive and amplified stories of grandeur. "This quarter will be profitable"... some yelled. "No dilution"... some screamed. "They're saving lives"... some claimed. But millions and millions of revenues are all gone. No profits. Rampant Dilutions. Insiders have sold. Funds have sold. Millions and millions of investors money are all gone. Lives have been destroyed... not saved.
And so they continue... pretending to take on the accomplishments of others, trying to fool you. Skewed conclusions that are nothing more than far-fetched and unethical false self-promotions of themselves. Top holders and insiders are selling. They sold during the P-n-D, and they will sell again.

Giving It All Away
More Like: " Fake News "
They just gave away half of Neossance for only $10M. And this is forever.
And only 'up to' $10M more over 3 years. They say it will save them $1.5M in expenses, but that is misleading. They are using any extra estimated marketing costs that the Nikkol Group may incur themselves, and therefore making that sound like they are reducing their own 'current' costs, but they are not. It's kind of a PR trick. This whole deal is another example of "Robbing Peter To Pay Paul". Nikkol has already been a long-term distributor, and now THEY OWN HALF of that business, FOREVER. One day they will probably own it all.
Fake News. They will do and say anything to trick you, imo.
DILUTION + FAKE NEWS + 3 DAYS = NASDAQ WARNING
Grasping At Straws
More Like: " Grasping At Hope "
Gates will have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with this company. But the P-n-D is still trying, and Hope is now a 4 letter word. The company is no longer involved with biofuels. Gates has been working on his venture for years. If the company was going to be part of anything, it would have already happened. Instead, the company has already shifted itself by committing into a whole different direction.
Stop The Hope . . .
The P-n-D Has Been Exposed
DILUTION + 4 DAYS = NASDAQ WARNING
It Doesn't Matter
It doesn't matter how much they own.
What matters is that they are selling.
Which means they are adding common
shares to the OS and Float, which then
devalues the share value.
Also, they sold at a suspicious time during
a highly perceived and debatable P-n-D, in
which "no dilution" was the principal opinion.
A MM theory is just grasping at straws.
They never hold any credible credence.
So, they took some off the table to reallocate
their position, at a time when even the insiders
felt their positions were now overvalued.
Although starting long ago with the initial
investment, they themselves are now selling.
Maybe when they feel the valuation meets
a lower fair value, they will buy some back?
But it is highly doubtful they would buy more.
Four more T-days to another NASDAQ warning.

Not Going As Planned
Beware of those that still hang on for hope that the pump-n-dump scheme will retain some traction. Hoping for that next pr. Hoping for that next collaboration. Hoping for more "Forward-Looking Statements" to trick others out of their money, as to get back what was taken.

Reality Is Settling In
It looks like the reality of fundamental issues are being leveled against a P-n-D scheme that was desperately being supported by many hyped-up exaggerations, which may be a misrepresentation of yet to be proven Forward-Looking Statements, which also may turn out to be unreliable towards any unrealistically expected time frame. Surprise
What's Next
No profit, common stock offerings, unexpected delays, missed goals, ATM dilutions, 1-for-20 reverse split, more bad collaborations, more convertible notes, more warrants, etc... ?

Revenues Will Always Be Eaten
More costs. The company has been talking about a production plant for quite some time. The plant is not aimed for completion until the year 2020. A lot can change regarding any foreseeable delays in that period of time, allowing for even more revenues to be drained.
And there is no mention as to whether the Brazil plant will be shut down or expanded, allowing for even more costs and further absorption of revenues. And there is no guarantee that any of those bad collaboration agreements will ever be met.
The possibility of profit always continues to be a very distant probability for this company. More costs that will lead to deeper dilutions, and then the inevitable 1-for-20 reverse split. Also, any P-n-D plan is to always try and build a "Story-Line", in which to draw-in entities for upcoming large dilutive equity offerings, which will then crush all investors ... Surprise

Vulnerable And Backed Into A Corner
They had to do it. They had to do it before you found out. They had to do it before you found out there were no profits. Before you found out massive dilution was taking place. Before you found out there were no good deals. Before you found out the EPS was approaching negative infinity... instead of the other way around. At least you thought it would be a negative 2 cents. But it was a negative 8 cents. What happened? Well, you know what happened.

Always Trying To Set You Up
* On March 8, 2016 the company entered into an "At The Market (ATM)" Issuance Sales Agreement with FBR Capital Markets & Co. under which the Company may issue and sell shares of its commmon stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50M from time to time.
That could be over 60,000,000 additional common shares to be diluted into the OS and Float, on top of all the other dilution, plus everything else.
Watch Them Begin To Squirm
9 Days To NASDAQ Warning
And this quarter will have a greater loss than last quarter. And there will still be no profits as claimed. Nope, just another trick. Just more "Forward-Looking Statements".
Just like last quarter, when everyone was expecting a positive EPS, or at worst (0.02). But it turned out to be (0.08). How the heck did that happen? And what about that promise of no dilution? What happened there?
Meanwhile, those in the loop took your money. Insiders sold and diluted their shares. *ATM dilution could now go into full throttle. Convertible notes diluted into common shares. Warrants diluted into common shares. More dilution. Poorly negotiated collaborations. All layered on top off the constant devouring of revenues. All expectations have only turned toxic.
" Get in now BUY BUY BUY " ... they cry.

And it's looking like this quarter may even be worse.
This quarter may have an even greater loss than last quarter's BIG negative surprise. And in this quarter there will still not be the profit that was claimed to have been coming by now.
Nope... just another trick. Just like last quarter.
Last quarter everyone was expecting no dilution and a positive EPS, or at worst a (0.02). But, it was a staggering NEGATIVE 8 CENT EPS (0.08). And yes.... lots of dilution.

So they concocted a pump-n-dump campaign scheme. A scheme supported by repetitive and amplified stories of grandeur. "This quarter will be profitable"... some yelled. "No dilution"... some screamed. "They're saving lives"... some claimed. But millions and millions of revenues are all gone. Insiders have sold. Funds have sold. Millions and millions of investors money are all gone.

The Company Is Very Worried
That's right. Revenues are eaten up faster than they can come in. That's why the company had to trick investors. And they needed to do it fast. The company knew that if they did not get this over a dollar for ten days prior to the last quarter report, that they would not have the chance again. And now again, they are in the same mess. It's just 9 more trading days before another NASDAQ warning is issued for being under $1.00 for 30 trading days. Fool once, shame on them. Try to fool twice, and they will eat it. Watch them begin to squirm.

Won't Get Fooled Again
Another Example: Bill Gates
The Gates angle was not profit oriented. It was more of a capital infusion in regards to a humanitarian effort, which is good, but was not designed as a monetary effort from which either party would profit from.
Falsely Inheriting The Achievements Of Others
We think it is deliberately made to be confusing when small start-up companies form small and virtually non-profit collaborations with other companies. And how these smaller companies, with their promotional teams, then try to mislead investors with clever wordings. The same wordings that smaller companies will use while hiding under those "Safe Harbor / Forward-Looking Statement" clauses. Wordings with vague claims that make it sound like the smaller company is actually taking on and thus automatically making, or "Falsely Inheriting", the same achievements as the bigger or more established person or company. When these skewed conclusions could actually be nothing more than far-fetched and unethical false self-promotions of themselves.

Backed Into A Very Vulnerable Situation
you can just feel them starting to squirm
time is definitely not on their side at all
They have to try and lure investors into a dilutive equity offering of common shares to help keep the business afloat and to pay salaries. Their job is to trick investors into dilution. Then whatever entity the deal is with would have already gone short well before an 8-K is issued, to help offset the news of dilution. CEO Survival Tactics 101 .
But it's not working out. They have a problem.
The pump-n-dump has now backfired instead.
By the end of this year the OS will have increased from 200,000,000 to about 300,000,000. And 2017 will be another year of dilution. At the current rate the OS will probably hit 400,000,000 by the time the 3rd quarter rolls around. . . followed by a 1-for-20 reverse split.
Their job right now is to mislead the public as much as possible while protecting themselves under the "Forward-Looking Statements" clause.
The Company Is Very Scared Right Now
You may not fully realize it yet, but this company
is actually on the ropes and backed into a corner.
And Another NASDAQ Warning Is On The Way
Sales will be lower than projected. Margins will be cut by more than half. The EPS will continue to slide backwards from (0.08) to (0.12). There will be no dividend yield. Name dropping is a liability. The pps has no legs. There will be no buy backs. And the company does not save lives. Sorry.
And when someone says: " Get in now BUY BUY BUY "
... don't fall for those same old pandering lines again... lol
BUT HERE'S THE REAL RED FLAG
This quarter would need 10-times the amount of collaborations
they have had all year long, just to off-set the amount of dilution !
And they'd have to be GOOD collaborations... not these BAD ones.

ABUSIVE DILUTION CONTINUES
And If You Think I'm Kidding... You Are Wrong
The OS will be 300,000,000 by year's end.
That's up from 200,000,000 since last January.
And 75% of that has happened since August.
While all you heard was: "No Dilution", lol .
Remember that negative surprise in the EPS ?
Nobody expected it to go backwards last quarter.
The pump was screaming: "Big Profit ", lol .
Remember all of the "So Called" Q3 revenues ?
Well... where did they go? Why the (0.08) EPS ?
Now, compare this quarter with all of the potential
that was supposedly happening within the last quarter.
This quarter will be even worse. And you can count on it.
Investors were taken for a big ride on that Pump-n-Dump.
What a disgrace. What a set-up. What a con-job.
This quarter would need 10-times the amount of collaborations
they have had all year long, just to off-set the amount of dilution !
And they would have to be GOOD collaborations... not BAD ones.
Here's What That Pump-n-Dump "Really" Consisted Of
Dilution - Warrants - Convertible Common Share Notes -
Poorly Negotiated Collaborations - Big Time Story Telling
I predict the EPS for this quarter to be a Negative 12 Cents: (0.12) .
Forget the analysts. The analysts were off last quarter, and they
will be off even worse this quarter. Analysts are never right. Ever.
This company is headed straight into another NASDAQ warning.
And that little end of month bump that just happened ?
Well, it was nothing more than just another exit wound.
Some traders were still hoping for a Cup-n-Handle breakout.
But the time span has already eroded, thus violating the pattern and
supporting the recently failed pop that led into yet another Bull Trap.
This company is not reliable. Collaborations are pointless.

Don't Fall For It
Another NASDAQ warning is coming. Market Makers are again allowing for the usual end-of-month manipulation for institutions and insiders to get out at the expense of the gullible.
Using words like "Bill Gates" is a trick. The Bill and Melinda Gates angle was not profit oriented. It was just a non-profit gesture in regards to helping a humanitarian effort, which is good, but was not designed as a monetary effort from which either party would profit from. Some will use this name in vane for glorification purposes only.
Here's Some Truth
There was huge proven insider and institutional selling during the proven pump-n-dump. What you also got was huge dilution. There were no profits as expected by most despite those "wonderful" revenue collaborations, which turned out to be very TOXIC. In fact, they ended up losing more money than anyone could have ever imagined. Then there's still all of that debt, and all of those warrants, and all of those bad convertible notes. And This Is All Real . . . "WOW".
The Money Is Gone
They already spent the money on operating expenses and salaries.. Yup... it goes that fast. And they will never get ahead. No Profit. And investors are quite a ways down on the food chain for any of that to happen to them. No money will ever make it that far. There will never be a profit. Not for a very, very, long, long time... if at all.

Don't Fall For It
Already Setting Up For Even More Dilution
That's the real reason why companies like this
go on these end-of-year pleasure trip junkets.
While taking a little holiday vacation on the backs of shareholders, they will try to lure investors into an equity finance deal to help keep the business afloat and pay for all of their salaries.
Then whoever the deal is with would have already gone short by the time an 8-K hits the fan, to help offset the impending news of dilution. They can't lose. But guess who will be left holding the bag?
Everybody knows that. It's nothing more than a game of dilution. Who's kidding who. By the end of this year their OS will have increased from 200,000,000 to about 300,000,000. So 2017 will be another year of dilution. And the OS will probably hit around 400,000,000 by the time the 3rd quarter rolls around. . . followed up by a 1-for-20 reverse split.

Possible Target
Edited . . .
If the 50% FIB scale is set at 0.80, from the 1.20 high, then a bottom target could be around 0.40. Buying in that range might produce a dead-cat-bounce back up to the 32% FIB level, which could then be around 0.65.
That's what some heavy sellers above 0.80 may be waiting for. It may take some time and some patience. The company has had plenty of dilution, plenty of warrants, and plenty of convertible notes. These are from collaborations that have not been well negotiated.
Some entities could have actually gone short as well, to hedge or double-back on some of those poor agreements. The probability of profits are very slim, if at all. And revenue recovery may still take a few more years down the road.
In addition, the market seems overbought right now. The recent bump in the overall market, which did not seem to help this company, appears to be setting-up for a reversal. This could apply additional downward pressure as well.

Where is the profit? This is part of the reason they will fail. Every time they start that Pandering Routine, to trick you into thinking that something is not what it is.
Sorry to say... but this is fluff. Everyone knows what they do. All companies make a widget. But not all companies make money. They will never be profitable.
Everybody knows that operations will always eat up revenues. And more dilutions will always be needed. This company will forever be enslaved to all the bad dilutive and toxic collaborations.
When analyzed, all deals have not cost the other parties one red cent imo. All negotiations have been in the favor of others. This company will merely be an abused tool. If at all.
The collaborations have been cleverly designed to only allow this company to barely exist. They can only operate at the will of others. Forever powerless, and subject to the manipulative exploitations of others.
They will always try to piggy-back on the unrelated accomplishments of others. And they themselves will never be profitable.

Money For Nothing
More dilution is coming. About another 15 million shares. The prediction is that the OS will hit 300,000,000 by the end of the year. That would be about a 100,000,000 share increase for the year. The Float would have jumped again too.
So the company claims no dilution, as regarding certain aspects. But obviously they have not told you about all of the "other" aspects that are creating dilution. It can't be denied.
And that mysterious asset sale? The one that was believed to create so much excitement? The one that everyone was waiting and waiting for? Well... it's done. It already happened. Just another "not so good" collaboration deal that has slipped through the cracks.
Even according to all of those "Forward-Looking Statements", which have to be analyzed with a microscope, it will be years before any of those hopefully projected revenues meet up with any of those expectations that may or may not even come true. Collaboration revenues will be used up. While any portions of any projected future product revenues are quite a while away.
They are going to be spending all of their revenues. And they will continue to create dilution. It can't be helped. It's just the way it is. It was important to create an illusion of excitement to get the pps up over a dollar for ten trading days before quickly releasing that tell-tale quarter report. Otherwise, they would not have made it. Now that it's done, they will begin shifting your focus on needed costs, while trying to justify all of the spending and dilution that is coming with it. That's the next illusion.
J M O
Behind Closed Doors
During the 3rd quarter they delivered on their goal to trick investors into believing that there would be a profit. That the EPS would be positive. That there would be no dilution. That convertible notes were somehow a good thing. That the deals were all good. That warrants were all good. Oh ya, and that they were somehow saving lives. Now they are all probably LTFAO behind closed doors. The investors were tricked. Those that made money are now long gone and looking for their next gullible target. It's so easy. It's too easy.
Meanwhile... the company management is probably still upstairs in the conference room behind more closed doors. They are having a little party to celebrate their successful pumping-campaign that got them to over a dollar for ten days straight, just before quickly releasing their devastatingly bad and oppositely expected quarter report. They're probably handing out bonus-perks in the form of worthless restricted shares, via the employment benefits package. Plus, some various prizes and gifts for doing such a good job of fooling day-traders into performing some of their nasty tricks for them. They might also even have boxes of candy to hand out later, to all the others waiting in the downstairs lobby.
Now they have to come up with a new plan. Somehow they have to trick you into thinking that equity offerings are a good thing, and that they are needed to support future operations and growth. And they have to trick you into thinking that the selling of an asset wouldn't basically just be another wash, by convincing you that it just isn't the same thing as robbing Peter to pay Paul.
But there isn't any hurry. There is no threat of getting delisted, at least not for another year. And varoius insiders have sold enough to compensate themselves for a while. So there is plenty of time to head out of town and wait until the heat cools off.
At the same time... many investors feel they are now trapped. That they fell for it. Stuck waiting it out, hoping for more news. Hoping that the pump-n-dump still has some legs left to it. To sucker others in so that they can get out of this mess. But with each new pr, and with each new pump, nothing happens.
It's lost ... "What happened?" ... As tax loss season slowly approaches.
