VLCO Only 50,000,000 shares.
Not bad for a penny stock. Nice chart Rhino.
Possible reason for the drop-----
Maybe a deal is coming based on the stock price on a certain date. Those crooks know how to drive a stock down. But, Z has some toxic shareholders on board from when Brad was still here. I think they got like 13,000,000 warrants at .15 or .20. They have more reason to prop it up. I hope .24 holds on a closing basis, but we are a long way from the 200 day MA. It could drop to their. I would never sell here. Short said he and others we going on a 3 day tour to promote the company in mid April. I suspect a deal tied to the patents Herbal Science should have given Z in the last couple of days spells a deal. Fingers crossed.

Ironridge has no curent connection with NTRZ. We can only speculate that it is a small Nutra/pharma fund raising deal. At the March 1st CC, CFO Dale Belt mentioned the urgency of getting testing done on a joint pain product. It could be more, but this is not the big deal we are all waiting for, but it coul be more than it looks now. As of now I don't look at it as a big stock price mover except that it will show the product and the future.
What i said is all just speculation. I can also speculate that the many "Market orders" Tuesday and Wednesday could have been attempt to get Ironridge more shares for the same price. We will just have to see how that plays out. I am just speculating there, but there we mnay market orders those days, and that was unusual. That is justconnecting dots of the little info we have now.. We will see how it plays out.
Coming Ironridge Global IV Deal.
It looks like a little deal based on stock is coming to help boost our pharma research and maybe more.

It is confusing because it says 2,500,000 shares, yet it could be 5% or almost 10,000,000 shares off the shelf. No details, just the form I just posted that is confusing. One says it will be non toxic, after issue.
About Ironridge>>
http://www.ironridgeglobal.com/?page_id=29
Here is info of another deal they did from a Yahoo poster>>
On March 17, 2011, Marshall Edwards, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with Ironridge Global Biopharma, a division of Ironridge Global IV, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands business company ("Ironridge"), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue and sell to Ironridge up to (i) $1,001,700 of the Company's common stock, par value $0.00000002 per share (the "Common Shares"), and (ii) $742,000 of the Company's newly designated Series B preferred stock, $0.01 par value, at a purchase price of $1,000 per share (the "Series B Preferred Shares", and together with the Common Shares, the "Shares"). The Shares will be offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-149807), which became effective on April 3, 2008. The Company's common stock trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "MSHL." The Company intends to use the proceeds from this transaction primarily to fund the further development of its lead product candidate, NV-143, including the remaining pre-clinical studies required to initiate a Phase I clinical trial later this year
We don't know the scope, but it could be to get trials done on a pain drug they really want to get done.
Stayed tuned.

Q1 and the future from the CC
From the CC that could relate to Q1 and Q2 being strong
1. Leo said feed prices in Brazil were raised in November. Also note, all shipments from Brazil are based on the dollar, I don't know if that's good or bad.
2. Garner said prices were raised substantially at the first of the year except for existing contracts.
3. Garner said new deals were recently signed in the Check Republic Hungary, Romania, Vietnam, Philippines, and China.
3. Garner said distribution networks are being enhanced in Europe, Middle East, Africa, as SE Asia.
4. Garner said human grade DFB is just now being sold and meat filler is getting bigger in Europe and a fast food chain in Europe and Asia is using NTRZ filler, I don't remember if it's SRB or DOB.
5. In response to a question Garner talked about sales in Japan, China and Vietnam.
So, all this looks great for Q1 and Q2 2011.
For the future.
1. Leo said now that the BK process is over, Z is looking at oil plant opportunities in the USA, South America and Asia. He did NOT mention Europe or Africa.
2. Leo mentioned new products from Brazil by years end xybr touched on these Friday.
3. Garner mention a new thought that Z's products are being used in Vegan meatless products. And Europe seems interested meat filler first. Maybe that is Henk's influence.
It is again interesting that Nutraceuticals/Pharma was avoided by all, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm(How do you spell immanent deal, and that question comes from the woorstest spellllin dude on da masage bord)).
Does Koppes supply the answer?
Koppes tied to Apria who was bought out by Blackstone
I have talked about NY based Blackstone group and their interest in Bright Foods/GNC. And nichlous 999 mentioned a NY company being interested in Z's pharma.
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-12-07/blackstone-said-to-team-with-bright-food-to-buy-gnc.html
Well guess what, Apria Healthcare Group listed as Koppes being a former director of was just bought out October 10, 2010 by Sky Acquisition, a wholly owned subsdiary of BLACKSTONE GROUP.

This could be the tie in to new BOD member Koppes who was on the BOD of Apria. GNC just did an IPO Friday
http://in.reuters.com/article/2011/04/01/gnc-ipo-idINNWEN021220110401
So, does Blackstone/NTRZ/Bright/GNC fit together somehow. I don't think NTRZ is bought out, but I think NTRZ gets funding from Blackstone and may have product in GNC stores if Bright buys them out to get a USA listing. Koppes seemed like a strange appoint til now, fingers crossed.

All the stops and mental stops cleared out today? Too much of a drop for "Buy on the rumor, sell on the news" I say buy in the AM Monday. It may never be lower again.
Comments from a good science SH
Abouit the April CC
Some thoughts.
I'm not at all surprised that JS didn't dump on JL and DB. I don't think it's his place or he's in a position to do that. They hired him. If Koppes is worth his salt with his background in corporate governance, maybe we've seen the end of that kind of behavior. But remember most all boards find it acceptable to grant themselves raises and bonus that shareholders find undeserved.
JS went to the China trade show with CG. He met with Bright to reopen or continue talks. We have no idea how close or far away any deal with Bright is. But time is their adversary as it is ours. He may drive a harder bargain with the Chinese but he probably has much more credibility with them.
Of course the CC could have been better but I found a lot to be optimistic about. If shareholders got behind the new team it would help immensely. Colin was good and Leo seemed relieved to be out of BK and anxious to move forward with the new initiatives.. Some new customers and some new countries a plus,
The LT holders seemed on balance to be pleased with what they heard while still disappointed with lack of progress in noted areas. Road shows eaxh month will help..
Lecithin is in first stage of expansion-by years end. Leo said RBO for cosmetics was possible after distilling equipment is installed.
Though no pharma deal was mentioned JS did speak favorably about the HS extracts.
I think the Nutrazilla is setting sail again but this time instead of headwinds they have some wind at their backs. They would have more if shareholders stopped bickering and complaining and criticizing every single thing they say and do or don't say and don't do . They need our positive energy and belief in their ability to succeed more than ever now It's time to rally behind them and make the best of it Today marks the dawn of a new future. Rice bran and RBO are the future. Let's get on with it and not blow it or hinder it with our engrained negativity.
Remote chance for Bright buying GNC.....
.... And NTRZ being a part of it. Today the GNC IPO was introduced. My thought is that Bright may want a listing on US exchanges and buying the stock of GNC gets them here. I could be way off, but the timing of the IPO and Z's exit of BK and refiling could be more than a coincidence. I don't mean Bright buying NTRZ, but a nutra/pharm deal could be tied to it involving Bright and NTRZ after Bright buying GNC.

Multiple smaller locations in China
2nd listen is always better than the first
First of all my April question is just that they will do a three day road show in mid April. That makes Aroof think that a pharma and or nutraceutical deal will be out by then. They will have more reason to toot their horn.
Then, leading to the biggie, I think Belt said that expansion will be financed three ways
1. Equity-- In my opinion, we can't afford that here
2. Convertible Preferred
3. Partnership like with Alothon-- In my opinion, that is tough because we had equity in Brazil and like have none in China, Philippines, Europe, etc.
Notice licensing was not mentioned. But, I suppose it is possible.
Now the biggie
Listen to the about 1:02:00 time for about two minutes. Short is talking about China. Not word for word her, but close.
"I was with the Bright Food guys last week and they are definitely interested. For all the right reasons such as growing food shortages and population, China is ABSOLUTELY INTERESTED. We may have a smaller scope and doing smaller locations rather than one big one. Discussions continue and both sides are interested."
Now, add in, Short said earlier that Z wants to focus on the biggest and best long term opportunities. China sure sounds like just that. Short could be negotiating with Wilmar, Bright and whoever for the best deal. They all have to want us.Indonesia, or Thailand could sell to China, so we don't have to go anywhere. So Short has some leverage. We can't go everywhere at once because customers have to be built for customers of the plants.
But, if we can't afford a big plant, how do we afford "several smaller sites"? I can only guess Bright buys convertible preferred stock and with the proceeds, Z may license many smaller existing plants in China? I don't know, that is just my best guess. But, it does not sound like a deal in immanent, but who knows. China could sell to Indonesia and the Philippines, good location.
Listen to the 1:02:00 to the 1:04:00 question and answer portion of the CC.
I am putting in a lower bid than .30 for Monday for a little more stock.

Koppes helped bankrupt California, OMG
TRZ has a new BOD member Richard H. Koppes
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/NutraCea-Appoints-Richard-H-prnews-2657568385.html?x=0&.v=1
The California Public Employees' Retirement System is bankrupting the state of California. In my opinion, government employees unions have been bargaining with higher up government employees or legislaters who were government employees. And those higher up's would get pay increases in proportion to the new union contracts. So, the union bascially bargined with itself, OMG. I call that corruption, not goverernance.
In my opinion Koppes is a TERRIBLE SYMBOLIC CHOICE.
If RJA open up tomorrow, I will add. The 50 day MA looks key.

What others are saying about the filings.
gnus--
They say in the Q3 10-Q that they are suppose to get $1 million more from Irgovel partners by today. This would seem to mean they met the EBIDTA targets for the 6 months ended 3/31. That would be good news.
Also it appears that Irgovel lost money every quarter in 2010, including about $300,000 in Q4.
But from FN 21 in 10-K and similar FN in the Q3 10-Q, it appears they were slightly EBIDTA negative thru Q3 ($136,000 negative EBIDTA) but EBIDTA positive in Q4 - $452,000
--------------------------------------------------------
HS settlement to be paid in April.
Dillon is no longer being marketed for sale. Not sure if that was there choice or a result of no satisfactory offers to buy it.
---------------------------------------------
In January 2011, Irgovel entered into a commitment to supply $0.4 million of crude rice bran oil each month from April 2011 to December 2011. The commitment represents approximately 50% of Irgovel’s crude oil production capacity
-------------------------------------------------
malty
They lost (.08) per share, gross margins increased to 22%, and SG&A decreased by 25%.
All in all that's pretty good incremental progress. No forward momentum in sales, thouigh, off about 5% from 2009.

As part of the Chapter 11 Reorganization, the leases were assumed under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. Arrearages due under the leases were paid in January 2011 and the lawsuit was dismissed. FRM also asserted a claim for monetary damages for breach of a supply agreement, but that claim was dismissed from the lawsuit and allowed as a general unsecured claim in the Chapter 11 Reorganization.

NTRZ bankruptcy case formally closed
From gnus, from Pacer
Final Decree issued - Lodged order tonight
This will be final this week. The BK case is closed.
There are really only a couple matters the court still retains involvent in. Several are Crow matters that all end April 1 as per settlement agreements. One is Irgovel until the District Court formally accepts the transfer of the litigation to its jurisdiction and the other is a minor dispute over $12,000.
So the case closes this week.
"IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED, that the Debtor’s estate and its bankruptcy case are hereby closed."

China and some others will not deal with companies in BK, and this might open the floodgates of some deals.

schedule of coming events in the next week or so.
From gnus at Yahoo, pasted the whole
3/29 - hearing on getting Final Decree on BK case.
3/30 - Date Stuart Benson is to pay Z the cash settlement on WWG litigation
3/31 - Date Z promised to get current on all SEC filings (can add the data from 2 items above in the disclosures)
Soon after - CC on all things
Soon after - end to Pink Sheet trading.
Soon after - payment of HS ettlement and Z will have full title to all of the JV's and the IP.
6 months ended 3/31/11 is the period Z had to meet EBIDTA estimates for Irgovel to get the additional $1 million investment from that JV partner. Did they meet it and when will they know?
Proxy should be filed in April for June S/H meeting. Will they serve up some real red meet and announce they have booted DB and JL off the BOD or will they continue to endorse inept and negligent corporate governance and sweetheart dealings (aka JL's option/warrant deals in 2004 and 2008, the 2007 BOD pay increases, the 2008 special and thought to be "spring loaded" option grants to the BOD).
They have been building to this for some time. Will they produce something to support investing in Z or will this be a dud and more non answer answers (all three of the execs on the call) to investor questions like we saw on the last CC?
Get your popcorn and sit back. The coming attraction reel is starting.
Thanks gnus, and I agree, a ton should happen in the next couple of weeks.
I like the live better too, lol
The monent of truth is near!!!
A bit scary I'd say. We should see what Short is made of, what the SEC was so excited that they let Short and other get big raises and options. Belt and Garner left secure jobs to come here. I'd say anybody who sells here could m,iss the opportunity of a lifetime. Still, the unknown is eating away at me. We should know a ton more by a week from tomorrow for sure.

Kerry expanding "Solutions for meat"
Kerry strengthens North African markets
- Published: 28 March, 2011
Kerry Ingredients & Flavours is building on its North African markets through exhibiting at Djazagro 2011, the international food exhibition held in Algeria.
The company will focus this year’s exhibition on its range of meat seasoning and flavour marinades.
Thierry Vacheron, export sales manager, Kerry Ingredients & Flavours, said: “Kerry has built a reputation as a well-established supplier of a complete range of solutions for meats and prepared dishes to the Algerian market.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
So, Kerry knows all about NTRZ since they bought the cereal business from them and sales VP Garner used to work for them. Selling stabilized DOB in Europe and Africa should be quite easy, don't ya think?

PHILIPPINES NAT'L FOOD AUTHORITY GETS RICE FROM VIETNAM
The Philippines National Food Authority (NFA) said on Wednesday it is importing rice from Vietnam to ensure enough supply for the entire country. The grain is arriving April this year.
Currently, the country's rice supply is good for more than 40 days or one-and-a-half months.
NFA administrator Angelito T. Banayo said the Philippine government has sealed a deal to import 200,000 tons of rice from Vietnam.
Banayo said the NFA finds it best to do a government-to-government arrangement with Vietnam which is selling their rice at US$ 480 per ton payable in 270 days after arrival in the Philippines.
The NFA preferred sourcing stocks through state deals now instead of mulling over open and public tenders because civil unrest abroad was pushing up oil prices and making freight costlier, Banayo said.
The import order forms part of the 860,000 ton rice requirement the NFA plans to source abroad with the balance to be brought in by the private sector.
The NFA has also set a tender on April 4 for import rights for private traders covering 60,000 tons rice, part of a total 660,000 tons to be brought in by the private sector this year.
Small farmers groups are expected to participate in the April 4 tender. The NFA sought bids for rights to import up to 600,000 tons rice, or two-thirds of the planned purchases this year, and may announce the accepted bids later on Wednesday.
