They Finally Moved the Bid Up. EOM
Nice Email - Invite Mr. Fisher
Every one Email Mr. Fisher and invite him to Natchez. We might be surprised. IF Fisher is an ethical writer he should jump at the chance to confirm his article. He also might jump at the chance to "expose" the evil renewable biodiesl industry. LOL. If 100 people call or Email and invite him to Natchez, he just might come to see what the hub bub is all about.

Runaround at Pure Romance?
Hmmmmmmmm
I have called Pure Romance twice today with no response yet. Have they caught on and are avoiding us, or just coincidence?
The first time I called and asked for Investor Relations. They transferred me to Miss Brisben's son, Mr. Cicchinelli, he was not there (or did not answer), I left a message and still have no response.
The second time just 5 minutes ago, they transferred me to accounting, an answering machine, i left a message.
Would some one else call, maybe not use the Investor Relations approach, and report back here? This is your money, do some DD.
It will take 2 minutes.

Call Dan Fisher NOW
* Call Dan Fisher NOW. I did and he is being swamped. I let him know I was disappointed in the piece as it did not live up to Forbes standards as a credible well researched piece. He was too busy to talk so I could not inform him about my visit to Natchez, but he invited me to send an email and call him back. I will do that and you all should too. The more calls he gets the more he will realize he needs to do a rewrite after visiting Natchez. His email is dfisher@forbes.com. Phone number is (203)458-2722. *
I agree with this 100%. Dan Fisher gave his unresearched opinion, now we should give him our reasearched opinion. Every one has been sitting here complaining about this article. Well here is you chance to do something. It may be small or insignificant, but it is something. Wouldn't that be something IF it prodded Mr Fisher to venture to Natchez?

I have spoke with Fisher! then I have spoke with JR!
After speaking with Fisher, I called JR immediately, I had to leave a message but he called me right back!
Fisher claims that JR told him it was biofuel, then biodiesel? He also claims JR said no patent?
Now, the real answers, after speaking with JR he explained everthing! Fisher did not understand what JR said it was biofuel that can be used as biodiesel. He also did not understand about the patent, Jr explain to me that the patent office wanted his catylsts, Jr did not want to give this up, he said the patent is now for filing trade secrets!
I asked JR about the nanobacteria, he cautioned but gave me some info, go to Nasa's website and look for white paper? about astronauts coming back from space have huge gallstones the nanobacteria attaches itself duplicates itself 15 times!
He also directed me to JHRivera.com, which I need powerpoint to continue! I am down loading it know!
I also asked him if he was going to counter the Fisher report? He said today he will put something on his website!

Valentine's Day Rumor
RUMOR ONLY
I have read several posts that suggest that Pure Romance might be waiting to announce that the merger is done on Valentine's Day. It makes sense. That would be a brilliant Public Relations move. They could always say that Pure Romance went public on Valentine's Day. Kind of fits like a glove. A company known for spreading love, getting birth on Cupid's Day.
Rumor or fiction? We will know Wednesday. (It would make an excellent Valentine's Day gift).

Subtle Bashers Here
Believe me, I have seen every kind of basher that you can imagine. However, never in my whole life have I seen a message board with so many posters that CLAIM to be long, and then proceed to subtley bash their stock. These people are either lying through their teeth, or are just plain ignorant.
Here is a typical post: "Oh I am long USSE, but we are destined to go in the teens, maybe even single digits, then I will buy some more".
They keep posting crap like this over and over. Where is the news? OMG Where is the news? I gotta have news? We must know. I gotta have news and I want it now!! How many soybeans go in? Is that possible? Where is the news? Give me news or i will hold my breath till i turn blue!!! Where is the news?
Where are the contracts? Huh? Where is the news? It has been 5 minutes, where is the news? JR come hold my hand!! Where are you? Where is the news? Where is the patent? I do not see the patent!! Where is the news? I gotta know. Maximus, where are you? OMG Where is the news? Quit working on the daily business, where is the news? Can you come hold my hand? where is the news? we only had 9 PR's last month, where is the other 0.03? Where is the news? OMG. Where is the news? Like a broken phonograph. Where is the news?
Sounds funny and ridiculous huh? I think you get the point. They keep posting this junk over and over. Remember, just because a person says he is Long, does not make it a fact. There are a TON of short bashers here. There might be more bashers here, than actual Longs.
Do your DD and ignore the riff raff.

Dan Fisher - Forbes Magazine (Repost)
His name is Daniel Fisher. He is a retired journalist from MSN Money Central who appears to have lost some of his professional spirit due to semi-retirement and a lack luster lifestyle with no recognition. He has done free-lancing assignments for some so called, "self-respected" publications in hopes of making his mark. The feeling of mediocrity seemed to lead to many feelings of self-failure and inferiority.
In my opinion, his apparent excitement in his semi-retired state made him a witness to a minor Scottish train crash, while his only waking thought was to write a very controversial story to garner some much needed publicity that might add to his receding ego, as well as his hairline. This year, 2005, was the year that Daniel Fisher officially lowered his journalistic standards to justify his faltering career, as a senior editor for the highly hypocritical Forbes Magazine.

I think this statement sums up Daniel Fisher's vicious attack and explains his motives quite well..........

TechroBond Attributes Pt. 2
List of TechroBond benefits to the REST of Lubrication Markets (EXCLUDING ENGINE OIL):
* Increase equipment longevity.
* Equipment has more productive time on the job.
* Lower maintenance costs.
* Lower mechanical friction.
* Less Expensive.
* Works better.
* Lasts Longer.
* Increased mechanical efficiency.
* Environmentally friendly.
* Grease formulated with TechroBond enhanced every aspect of performance, and was shown to increase lubrication by 40% to 200%.
* Potential to create self-healing surfaces by continually forging a bond between a medium and a substrate.
* Potential to prevent graffiti and organic material from adhering to treated surfaces.
* Laboratory tests on other applications for TechroBond, while still early stage, show promise for potential commercialization in anti-friction/anti-graffiti for paint and coatings, mold release, enhanced flame retardency, de-icing and other critical applications.
* A substitute for Molybdenum Disulfide (MOLY) in grease, a very expensive compound that enhances lubrication and prevents performance deterioration. The price of Molybdenum has escalated from $3 to as high as $40 recently. A recent report from UBS Investment Research predicts that Molybdenun Disulfide prices will remain elevated and average $22.50 in 2007 due to strong demand. Molybdenum Disulfide also exhibits poor performance under some heavy load conditions, according to PLRO.
.
TechroBond Attributes Pt. 1
The ENGINE OIL and OIL ADDITIVES Markets benefits of TechroBond:
* A new workhouse chemistry.
* Significantly enhanced anti-wear capabilities.
* Increased anti-corrosion.
* Environmentally friendly.
* Reduced Phosphorous to 0.01%
* Much lower levels of Phosphorous and Sulfur Emissions.
* TechroBond contains very little Phosphorous , and burns in a clean and "environmentally friendly" manner!
* TechroBond does not affect the catalytic converter, and will not compromise its effectiveness, even over time!
* Lower tailpipe emissions due to both lower phosphorous content and catalytic converter working as designed.
* Lowers friction.
* Lowers friction coefficient.
* Improves Fuel economy. (2% reduction in friction, improves fuel economy by 10%).
* Keeps metal surfaces evenly coated with lubricants.
* Protects metal surfaces even at room temperature. Most engine wear occurs just after start-up, before complete lubrication.
* TechroBond may be the only plausible, tested and proven replacement for ZDDP.
* TechroBond satisfies increasingly stringent Federal and State environmental requirements for vehicle emissions by drastically reducing ZDDP.
* Same costs or lower than ZDDP.
* Management believes TechroBond is the only commercially viable solution to meaningfully reduce ZDDP.
* Innovative Liquid Dispersion Differentiates PRO from Other Additives. TechroBond utilizes a proprietary patent pending "liquid chemistry" formulation that allows significantly enhanced anti-wear performance characteristics exceeding those of other lubricating oils currently available in the market, and also maintains the clarity and stability of the oil that end users typically demand.
* The efficacy of TechroBond has been repeatedly tested and proven in a variety of laboratory tests.

TechroBond - Disruptive Technology - "Next Generation" Products
After reading some message boards, it is apparent that some people do not understand, or just do not grasp the concept of what PLRO has developed. Techrobond, the main technology of PLRO, is a Disruptive Technology with the ability to introduce an array of the "Next Generation" of products across the $56.8 Billion Lubrication Industry.
TechroBond defined - is a patented fluorinated phosphate compound that enhances the performance of anti-wear additives to increase the strength of chemical bonds between oils and metal surfaces, forming continuous, self-healing coatings. It uses a liquid chemistry formulation that has been repeatedly shown to provide better anti-wear protection than other additives at a highly competitive cost.
PLRO is in various stages of tests, discussions, and negotiations, whether they are their own brand name launches, mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, partnerships, or licensing agreements to commercialize an array of products to market. Several product development relationships have been forged already with companies including General Motors Corporation, Airbus and Alcoa, among others.
My next 2 posts will list the myriad of attributes of TechroBond. I am not a scientist. Some of these qualities will overlap, it is not necessarily an exhaustive list of all the benefits. Everything cited is all on the PLRO Website and PLRO Research Reports.
.
Forbes Article
The Forbes article is no big deal. First of all, consider the source. Read the message I posted on the author, Dan Fisher. It reveals his questionable ethics in the past. Some writers will say anything to further their personal agenda.
The Rivera Process is a "Disruptive Technology". Many big oil companies stand to lose not just millions, but billions of dollars. They will resist USSE in any way they can. Investors here better accept that, becuase it is reality. Forbes is a well known magazine with many ties to existing Fortune 500 companies. These Fortune 500 companies are big advertisers in Forbes and have other ties and influence with Forbes. This is also reality.
The Forbes article itself. The author is very skeptical and biased throughout. The lead company is USSE, and the author is not especially critical of USSE, as much as the other companies. He questions the Rivera Process, yet provides no research or proof to his doubts. His biggest defense is some scientist that states something like "I just do not see how they can make that much biodiesel". Did either of these people research USSE? apparently, not. Did either visit the Natchez plant to research their vague insinuations? No. This is "Yellow Journalism at it's best.
The article is no big deal. Several here keep bringing it up and making ludicrous predictions. Some even pose as Longs. They are nothing more than Subtle Bashers. Bashers do not bash bad companies. Instead of discussing pertinent DD about USSE, this board has been led by a few self serving indivuals to waste their time here debating some inconsequential magazine article. Relax and let USSE execute.
.
According to your link
they did reduce Phosphorous a little bit, are the other numbers high? Most likely. PLRO does not list the other numbers. Your link:
Phosphorus content 0.05
Sulfur content 0.19
Sulfated Ash 0.79
--------------------------------------------
From PLRO Website:
The disruptive nature of the TechroBond is maximized by its impact on engine oil formulations for passenger car and heavy-duty applications - far and away the crown jewels of the overall lubricant marketplace. Until now, the primary anti-wear additive for the automotive industry has been ZDDP. The EPA has mandated that the amount of phosphorous contained in motor oils must be reduced well below its current levels of 0.08% or eliminated all together, and performance must be equal to oil currently on the market, but automakers and oil formulators agree that conventional oil with phosphorous levels below 0.08% are unable to perform to an acceptable standard. Conversely, in lab tests conducted by General Motors Corporation, one of the US "Big Three" auto manufacturers, oil formulations containing TechroBond demonstrate better performance than current oil formulations on the market, even with a reduction of Phosphorous to 0.01%.
Innovative Liquid Dispersion Differentiates PRO from Other Additives
TechroBond utilizes a proprietary patent pending "liquid chemistry" formulation that allows significantly enhanced anti-wear performance characteristics exceeding those of other lubricating oils currently available in the market, and also maintains the clarity and stability of the oil that end users typically demand. PRO's revolutionary fluorinated thiophosphate patent pending based compound was developed to replace ZDDP in engine oils. Batteries of laboratory bench tests have established that this new fluorinated chemistry offers significant advantages over the existing ZDDP chemistry at lower phosphorous and sulfur levels.
----------------------------------------------
The PLRO Website has lots of good info. I did not even address the issue of the many attributes of TechroBond. If you are still not satisfied contact Investor Relations or PLRO.
.
Re: PLRO Risks
I am not sure exactly what risks you mean, but PLRO will have some of the same risks every other start-up has. I say some (not all) because they have been developing TechroBond for 10 years now. It should be more of execution risks now. However, the scientific team, management team and stellar Board of Directors has me feeling confident about execution.
There is also financing risk, but PLRO seems to have that under control with funds from the old Company and loan from Seattle City Employee Pension Fund. They also state for certain acquisitions ample funds are available. Perhaps that is one perk of having people like a former Managing Director of Morgan Stanley, and Ben Du Pont on your Board of Directors.
Competition is also a risk, but remember we have 57 Patents to protect our technology. Other methods are being studied but they all seem to have problems and drawbacks.
Perhaps the biggest risk is being a "Disruptive Technology". Many huge companies face the risk of losing substantial Revenues and Profits and have resisted change. From PLRO Website:
With TechroBond emerging as the only realistic potential replacement for ZDDP, potential competitors and reluctant end-users are abandoning their adversarial tactics in exchange for more meaningful, collaborative investigations focused on how TechroBond can possibly be the solution that the market seeks.
.
Re: Competition
* many oil and additive companies are developing oils that are low emission/ non catalytic convertor killers. In Europe a few are showing up now. *
This is from the PLRO Research Works Report Page 9:
Company management states that it is not aware of any other company that has advanced ZDDP-reducing technology to the same degree as PLRO or any other compound that has the same properties as TechroBond. The compound appears to be the front-runner to replace ZDDP as new motor oil standards are implemented.
From the PLRO Website:
Management believes TechroBond is the only commercially viable solution to meaningfully reduce ZDDP.
----------------------------------------
Remember PLRO has 57 Patents Issued and Pending, including Europe.
Tenderloin
Please give links for the companies that you state are showing up in Europe with products now, we would like to reasearch these for ourselves.

Re: Number of Shares
As far as number of shares, apparently you did not read post # 7 Capital Structure. Here are numbers I got from PLRO Investor Relations AFTER THE CLOSING:
Authorized = 400 million Shares
Outstanding = 75 million Shares
Approximate Float = 20 million Shares
You are correct this is not official yet, since the merger is not closed. In my readings It also looks like there might be 5 million Preferred shares and possibly 2 million warrants. So it MIGHT total 102 million shares totally diluted. Not sure, it is confusing at this stage.

Pure Romance Pt 2
While we are waiting for confirmation or rejection of the reverse merger, you might want to become familiar with PureRomance. If/when the merger goes thru you might have to make a quick decision whether to sell or not. Much better to make an informed non - emotional decision.
Check out their website (guys, just be aware there is a ton of pink, lol). Look at their recent sales history. They have an 11 year proven track record. Pure Romance has the products that sell. They now have over 10,000 Sales Consultants, looking forward Consultants and Sales could grow rapidly. Kind of like a snowball rolling down a hill. The average sales growth rate is 46%, but just use a conservative rate of 30%.
Making Sales projections:
2007 = $78 million
2008 = $101 million
2009 = $132 million
2010 = $171 million
2011 = $228 million
$228 M * conservative profit margin 15% = $34 million Net Income.
$34 M / 200 M shares = $.17 Earnings Per Share.
.17 * 15 multiple = $2.56 share price in 2011.
Not hard to envision Pure Romance a $Billion Company in 10 years.
IF the merger finalizes, some here will sell at .30, or .20, or even .10. Some will sell for pennies a share , when there are dollars per share to be had.
Pure Romance
EARNINGS HISTORY FROM THE COMPANIES WEB SITE:
1995 1.2 Million
1996 1.3 Million – 8% Earnings Growth
1997 1.4 Million – 8% Earnings Growth
1998 2.1 Million – 50% Earnings Growth
1999 3.0 Million – 43% Earnings Growth
2000 5.0 Million – 67% Earnings Growth
2001 9.0 Million – 80% Earnings Growth
2002 20. Million – 122% Earnings Growth
2003 26. Million – 30% Earnings Growth
2004 35. Million – 35% Earnings Growth
2005 50. Million – 43% Earnings Growth
2006 60. Million – 20% Earnings Growth
11 Consecutive Years of Incredible Earnings Growth!
The average Annual Earnings Growth = 46%
Acquisition Discussions
The Company is exploring acquisition targets such as the purchase of an aftermarket additive brand. While talks are at early stages, if successful, management believes that such a transaction would make the Company cash flow positive immediately. The Company reports that substantial equity financing would be available if it secures a commercial contract for an aftermarket brand.

PLRO - EVCC Comparison
Some poster here compared PLRO to EVCC. This statement is totally ridiculous and only meant to cause fear, for whatever reason. I am very familiar with EVCC as my Dad got in at $1.50. With no news, the stock quickly ran to $7.74 before it quickly went down to it's current $3.01. For PLRO to be in a similiar situation PLRO would have to go to $18. PLRO has had a couple of nice days lately, but i do not even think we have a day up over 20%. The rise has been slow and steady. Increasing volume though.
EVCC makes a catalytic converter muffler for small engines. EVCC should be a great company someday but the stock got way ahead of itself. They have no new news, no revenues, no finished product. They are in Tests and not ready to introduce a product yet.
PLRO also has an outstanding product, but is currently producing revenues, and has great management with a Board of Directors composed of past leaders of Fortune 500 Companies.
PLRO is just starting to be discovered. A few showed up today trying to cause fear and doubt, yet they do not even attempt to offer logic or practical analysis, because they do not have any. Soon there will be all kinds of outrageous posters here spouting other such nonsense, not always with your best interests in mind, just be aware.
.
Proxy Analysis
Quite the Document. I am by no means an expert on reading SEC Documents. However, after browsing the Proxy, there were no real big surprises. It is good that they may be able to finally close the merger in mid March.
I do have 5 observations.
1.) "Employees - Platinum LP has no employees. Instead, it depends on its Board of Directors and third party contractors to maintain and advance its business interests".
So, this is not just some Board of Directors that sits around until a Board Meeting. The BOD will be out there taking advantage of their wide array of businesses and contacts, during discussions and negotiations to commercialize PLRO products. Incredible.
2.) I believe 6 of the Directors each get Options to purchase 1,056,832 shares of PLRO. Massive incentive for them.
3.) The other Director, consultants and several investors get substantially more. I have no problem with this whatsoever. Remember, some have been developing TechroBond for 10 years, with much time and effort expended. It is their "baby".
4.) These are Stock Options that they purchase, not just stock simply given to them. It will be very interesting when we start seeing Form 4's being Filed.
5.) Just the size of the Proxy. These guys are Professionals. Read that whole Document and you can just get a sense of the big plans and bright future they have for Platinum Research Organization, Inc.

Smart Buy
You have a good chance of being rewarded handsomely. PureRomance is a good company with awesome growth prospects.
I wish i had some funds freed up (sigh).
.
No Volume?
Where is everybody? Can that be correct, no volume at 3 pm? I only have Yahoo quotes. Do you really believe there are no trades today? A poster on RB says he has had a 100,000 buy at .012 since 9:48 am and no fill.
Would they announce a completed Reverse Merger on Thursday afternoon, or Friday?
Isn't anyone curious?
Zero volume at 3 pm, MM are up to something.
Mach Update
Here is a post from Mach over at DWB, which sent out the Stock Pick of theYear Email:
"Update. I see some are working hard to shake out the weak hands. It's the Stock Pick of the Year... Not the month. The reality is that deals simply dont get done overnight. Due diligence combined with filings and such can take a considerable amount of time. I hold my shares. Regards, Mach".
Stock Pick of the Year... Not the Month, great line. A great line but also addresses the mentality here. There should be one of 2 different possible results here:
1.) A 20 or 30 bagger with potential of much more for long term holders.
Or
2.) Lose 25% of your investment from here.
With this kind of Risk/Reward Ratio I am surprised that anyone would sell right now, savvy investors should be buying.
.
MM Choking UVCL
The Market Makers also do not know if the reverse merger will be completed. They do not want to establish a big short position, then have news of merger being finalized, and the stock price skyrocket. The MM have been choking UVCL for over a week now. It coincides with the time that Pure Romance responds to inquiries about the proposed merger with "We have no comment at this time".
Either connect the dots, or stick your head in the sand, your choice.
.
Patents Issued and Pending
If anyone has any doubts about the potential or reality of PLRO should review their Patents. PLRO has an array of different Patents in various stages. Some have been Issued, others Pending, a few are even Inactive. Some dated as far back as 1996. PLRO has 6 Patents already Issued, 4 in United States and 2 in Mexico. Altogether PLRO has a total of 57 Patents in various stages.
Here is a List of the countries where PLRO has Patents Issued and/or Pending:
United States
Mexico
Canada
India
China
Korea
Japan
Europe

Dividend Dilemma
< many here think the seller would still be entitled to the divy. They might be right, I have doubts since the SEC states otherwise. However, this is still a pink sheet stock, so they might be able to do what they want. >
That might make the most sense yet. A pink sheet, not bound by the SEC.
However, It has been reported here that the USSE-ONYI merger will be done first, then the SPC spinoff and Dividend. So, at the time of the Dividend, USSE will be a reporting company and thus bound by SEC rules.
This is a very complicated and uncertain topic. We might just have to wait for USSE to publicly clarify. I apologize to the board for posting it again. I am just trying to grasp my situation here, so that I can figure out my optimal choices here (either I will own shares of SPC, or I will not).
.
Missed the Boat?
< if you didn't have USSE shares on December 1, 2006 you missed the boat on the SPC dividend. >
Ok, every share in existence on Dec 1, 2006 gets the SPC Dividend. So, if a person sells USSE stock after Dec 1 and before the ex dividend date, those shares are still entitled to the Dividend. According to what you say (missed the boat), what happens to the dividend of these sold shares? The seller does not get them. Some one is entitled to the Dividend. Who?
.
Double Whammy For USSE Sellers
< If you sell your stock before the ex-dividend date, you also are selling away your right to the stock dividend. Your sale includes an obligation to deliver any shares acquired as a result of the dividend to the buyer of your shares, since the seller will receive an I.O.U. or "due bill" from his or her broker for the additional shares. >
If I interpret the above passage from the SEC correctly, current sellers of USSE not only are getting rid of a great company, but they are also losing potential money in 2 other ways:
1.) They lose out on the extra .3 ONYI shares they would have gotten for each USSE they sell.
2.) They also lose out on potential SPC (1-1) shares, since they have to provide SPC shares to the buyer of their USSE shares.
Selling USSE currently is very expensive. Very hard to believe USSE is down.
.
This is Not An IPO
This is a Reverse Merger case, not an IPO, read the LOI. Quiet Period has already been defined here several times, but here goes for FYI:
Quiet Period
The federal securities laws do not define the term "quiet period," which is also referred to as the "waiting period." However, historically, a quiet period extended from the time a company files a registration statement with the SEC until SEC staff declared the registration statement "effective." During that period, the federal securities laws limited what information a company and related parties can release to the public.
As I stated in the previous post, there is NO link declaring a quiet period, there is no such public declaration.
You are also incorrect about 8K in this instance.
You seem to be like several posters here, you need a public forum to do your moaning and groaning and belly aching. You would rather flap your gums than spend 5 minutes to make one simple phone call. You better sell your stock and buy index funds.
You still have not called PureRomance have you??
You can keep moaning all you want, I am done responding to the likes of you, I have better things to do than get in a pissing match with an amateur. Good luck.
.
Call them Yourself
Go ahead call PureRomance or UVCL yourself and note the response. There is no link, but you sure will not get any response. It is called Due Diligence, try it some time.
PureRomance: 1.866.Romance
.
The Facts
yecak
You are entitled to your opinion. However, the facts are both companies entered a LOI, they have been negotiating, both parties recently entered a "quiet period".
The proposed reverse merger is still alive until we hear differently.

Pure Romance Valuation
< do you all have a take on where this may go,,i'm having a hard time..i'm guessing between a dime and 10$..lol help me out a little here.. >
Here is the Pure Romance valuation from the DancesWithBulls Email Alert:
*Earnings per share* - 200 Million Shares outstanding - 60 Million Revenue - 20 Percent Profit Margins (From Companies Site) = .0625 Cents Per share.
**
* The near term share price is expected to reach .0625 cents (1 X Earnings per share) as we move toward the final merger. Upon the announcement the stock could easily reach .30 (5X Earnings per share) and could peak out at trade at $1.375 (22XEarnings per share which is the industry standard.)*
* FYI the current share price is approximately .01 and we expect the price to continue climbing moving forward. * An anticipated * near term gain of 600% * and * long term gains of several thousand percent is expected. *
There has historically been a market buying frenzy when our annual stock picks were announced. Once again, I believe that our senior members should have first knowledge of our annual stock picks. The announcement will occur during the third week of January.
*Also note there is an updated list of TV shows, Radio Shows, Awards, Magazines, and Newspapers the company has been featured on listed on the *Pureromance.com* site. It’s actually quite impressive.

TechroBond Acceptance
< What does the company need for validation? A large contract? >
PLRO has already successfully introduced their technology to rail curve applications in the railroad industry, with more products coming soon.
After much DD and research the following is just my opinion. PLRO has spent 10 years developing Techrobond. They know darn well what it can do. Any tests and development requirements are soley for the benefit of the users of Techrobond.
This risk has not been mentioned here, but investors should be aware. Techrobond is a Disruptive Technology. Huge companies stand to lose multi-billion dollar contracts and sales. There has been resistance to TechroBond. Kind of similar to Big Oil companies resisting alternative fuels. THEY WANT TO MAINTAIN THEIR HUGE PROFITS.
The "Crown Jewel" of lubrincants is the engine oil segment, roughly about 43% of the lubricant industry. Government Regulators want to reduce engine oil below the current .008% sulfur content. However, current engine oil can not do that and effectively lubricate engines. The EPA requires Auto Manufacturers to warranty catalytic converters to 120,000 miles, current engine oil renders coneverters ineffective after 50,000. Converters need to be replaced by the company at cost of several hundred dollars per converter.
TechroBond Benefits:
* Superior lubrication with .001% sulfur content. (Clean burning).
* Does not harm catalytic converters, even over time.
* Reduces Friction.
* Increases Fuel Mileage. (2% reduction in friction, increases fuel economy 10%).
* Lubricates at room temperature. (Thus eliminating the most wear caused by current engine oil, when the vehicle is first started).
* Costs the same or less as current oil.
As other companies come to understand these benefits, their resistance to PLRO has been dwindling. TechroBond is the only known solution to their government mandated problems.
I would guess that PLRO could obtain a deal for engine oil tomorrow. However, they are currently in strict non-disclosure discussions with major companies in the industry, so as to maximize the financial benefit to the company and it's shareholders. They have worked to long and hard to just give the technology away.
"TechroBond is positioned to disrupt large, status quo global markets, markets that are controlled by some of the world's largest corporations. PRO is currently working with one of the Big Three automakers along with a global additive firm and a top 5 international oil company in a joint effort to test, certify and commercialize its products..."

Capital Structure - Again
< The o/s is still 75,000,000 correct? I couldn't find the a/s (only preferreds, which are 5,000,000).
What's the situation with regards to dilution? >
You must have missed post # 7 here, Capital Structure. This was not clear to me either. The response from PLRO Investor Relations was at closing:
A/S = 400 million shares.
O/S = 75 million shares.
Approximate Float = 20 million shares.
In my perusing of various PLRO Documents, I have also seen 5 million preferred, and 2 million warrants mentioned, and a possible Totally diluted 102 million shares. None of this is factual right now. The exact numbers will not be known until the Closing of the merger, and PLRO files the proper SEC Documents.

Product Launches
< How close are they to marketing the product? >
That is hard to answer because they can address 7 different markets and those can be broken down even further.
PRO launched its first commercial products in 2006 in the Universal Grease market. TechroBond enhanced grease is now used commercially in the railroad industry, in railcurve applications. TechroBond is used as a substitute for Molybdenum Disulfide (MOLY) in grease, a very expensive compound that enhances lubrication and prevents performance deterioration. Initial field results have resoundingly confirmed PRO's calculations - grease formulated with TechroBond enhanced every aspect of performance, and was shown to increase lubrication by 40% to 200%. These results have now been confirmed independently by Chicago based Falex Labs, and PRO is preparing for a full commercial roll out of TechroBond formulated universal grease products, suitable for applications in automotive, railroad, construction, manufacturing, aerospace and heavy engineering applications.
While we expect a steady stream of products and applications to be commercialized over the next 1-2 years in grease, metalworking fluid, hydraulic fluid and other applications, our largest addressable markets by an order magnitude or more are oil additives and specialty coatings. These markets are potentially multi-billion dollar opportunities for PRO and the key to these markets resides in advanced development tests and discussions that we have ongoing with the leading U.S. industrial and energy companies. While there are no guarantees that all or any of these relationships will result in material agreements, it should be highlighted that these are not research collaborations but development efforts geared towards bringing commercial products to market by 2009. Each of these key efforts is subject to strict non-disclosure agreements protect both intellectual property rights but also to shield competitors from their "go to market" plans.
Ongoing conversations with the key industrial players include standard development practices such as combining respective intellectual properties to introduce a next generation product. There are also ongoing discussions that may result in exclusive relationships with some of these key industry players. Historically, it has been envisioned that the commercialization program would be preceded by a series of announcements, it is entirely possible that TechroBond will enter into an exclusive arrangement to the preclusion of other automobile manufacturers, oil companies and/or chemical companies which could accelerate the business model by several years.
