OT - I also like SIRI at this level and still should go a little lower.
TFO
Short of time ... Yes I am in at 1.11 on 5/16 and 1.07 yesterday. I'm looking for be jump ... thought it was started day of my post. Also in NXTP @ 2.02 but growing disenchanted.
I buy/own anything I give a serious mention ... that is not a good reason for anyone else to buy ... I'm frequently in too early ... usually out for profit ... got to lose a few!
ANR was a chart play and was mentioned at a private board. Did you catch insider trades?
I still like ANR, if it fails $1 I'll try to buy more at .92
TFO
ps ... encouraged RB to check here cause I hate to post there. They are slow in picking up on things cause they are busy flapping!
Yes ... the one and only ... Want to make something of it? Kidding!
That is APT which I am in at 2.02 and waiting ... not behaving as I had planned but I will wait, still like APT
As for CS ... I like the POS board ... penny players horse race, fun and many good plays!
Think CS sucks ... Used to have port as TheFastOne but CS screwed it up and gave me millions. Now have two ports there ... FastTooLast which is maitained competitively only to annoy some people! And FastToLast, strictly for tracking some of my watch lists.
What caught your eye?
TFO
(FASTONE = F A STONE & The FastOne was originally my CB handle!)
Yes you are correct ... anything impactful I'd post ... There were a couple of other cheap shots I coud have added, but not noteworthy. I'm sure the RB guys will cover that!
Assuming I am right on the r/s being a done deal ... the only issue remaining is whether it will be 1 for 10 or 1 for 20. I have very strong feeling that 1 for 10 will be significantly better for the shareholders. 1 for 20 gives them mre shelf stock somewhere and will decrease the avg daily volume nearly propotionately.
I guess the difference in that decision will simply add a little more time on road to fruition.
Good luck
TFO
OKAY ... I finished ... Not much of a surprise, .05 loss per share vs .08 prev qtr.
A couple of things, trivial, .... i did find humor in the end of document. Read the first and third paragraphs below ..............
In April 2003 a default occurred with respect to the 2007 Debentures upon the Company's independent auditors issuing a report on the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 that included an explanatory paragraph relating to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of this default the Company may be required to purchase the remaining $1.0 million principal amount of 2007 Debentures for an amount equal to the greater of 115% of principal, plus accrued interest, or 115% of the then market value of the 2,000,000 shares into which the outstanding debentures are convertible. The Company believes that the potential amount payable to the holders of the outstanding $1.0 million principal amount of 2007 Debentures resulting from this default is not significantly more than the amount payable under the terms of the debentures that existed prior to the default.
In March 2003, the Company issued and sold $10.55 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Debentures to a group of institutional investors. After transaction fees, the Company realized net proceeds of approximately $9.0 million, which, together with the $2.0 million realized as a result of the exchange of such amount of the 2006 Debentures for a like amount of the 2007 Debentures discussed above, means that the Company gained net proceeds of approximately $11.0 million from the two transactions.
Management's plans include reducing expenses and raising cash from either the issuance of debt or equity securities, or both, and through transferring its demonstration manufacturing lines to its operating partners. While the Company believes that the cash raised through the convertible debenture financing transaction in March 2003 combined with expense reductions will be sufficient for the Company to meet its current obligations and to cover operating expenses through the year ending December 31, 2003, the Company may need to raise additional financing. The Company cannot assure that additional financing will be available to it, or, if available, that the terms will be satisfactory, or that it will be able to negotiate mutually agreeable terms for the transfer of its manufacturing lines to its operating partners. If the Company is not successful in reducing expenses or raising additional capital, it may not be able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
-----------------------------------------------------
TFO again ...
Ironic they committed a default by making negative statement and then two paragraphs later they put in the same neg statement!
LOL
No mention on impending r/s in this document
TFO
Up to pg 13 ... nothing pasteworthy til now ... financial aren't bad but report is full of confirmation that production isn't happening ... here is one of them .............
Revenue recognition.
The Company has been manufacturing and selling initial quantities of commercial product in cooperation with its strategic partners as it has worked to demonstrate the commercial viability of its products and manufacturing processes. During its development phase, the Company has recorded the proceeds from such sales since its inception as an offset to the cost of the demonstration manufacturing operations. As the Company transitions the commercial manufacturing of its products to its licensees, it intends to reevaluate its revenue recognition policy. During the first quarter of 2003, the Company manufactured and sold product with an aggregate in-market value of approximately $135,000. Under its licensing model, the company would have recognized royalty revenue of approximately $27,000, had the product been produced by a licensee at full production rates. This information is presented for illustrative purposes only.

Obviously $27.000 doesn't cover much
ERTH Qtrly is in ... I can't paste link but if you go to Eartshell.com click on Public Relations and SEC Filings ...
BTW Also got my E-Proxy today and voted 70,000 Votes for "Go &%#*@ yourselves you worthless board of directors!"
Also 70,000 votes for "I don't think you &%#*@ useless salary skimming idiots need any more stock awards!"
And what Proxy would be complete without voting for "No I don't want to see any &%#*@ r/s, why not be accountable for previous statements and get some product production already"
I haven't read report ... I'll holler if I see anything good otherwise ... r/s is coming
price is dropping and I'll probably play it then.
TFO
We ERTH lings ... and ex-ERTH lings have been bashed plenty!
Never bothered me because I was generally making money on it ... and if I'd have hung around til .47 I'd have a few thousand more dollars than I do.
So I'm sensitive type on that approach.
BTW ... don't think I'll jump into AOR for a few more days ... might be down bound still
TFO
Just reviewing old posts and saw the one I think I'm replying to ...
I did not remember you asking about APT but it came across my radar and I am in at 2.02 ... Moved up and back a little since I'm in 2 or 3 days ago ... Might be worth adding or getting into. It will definitely give 30% ... That's my definite opinion! actually I expect more.
ANR & NXTP are two others to watch.
As for ERTH ... a couple of cheap AH sales ... volume backed off ... don't see accumulation ... I feel this may have been manipulation in advance of the slam so the big boys could dump some ... That lack of income thing is what has me convinced r/s will happen and price will drop after June 3rd.
Don't mean to come here and spew negative ... and I still believe the day will come when this stock is $10 + ... time frame is pushed back due to lack of progress ... r/s which will damper volume significantly ... and future dilution which is being set up.
I guess it is my mercenary nature which supercedes my love for the product. As always I do wish all the best!
TFO
I'm still on the side ... I liked the chart set up last week, so I am not surprised by where it is. I expect a little more for today's motivation was not visible to the naked eye.
I'm still "Interim Negative" ... all those recent reports paint a picture that says r/s will happen, IMO, I don't think it can make and hold $1 on news and think the revenues are still missing. Perhaps on a few good news items??
I'm still anticipating .31 or so after the r/s news ... and I won't mind being wong on all abd having to get back in over that $1 mark ... if they can avoid the r/s the stock will attain potential much faster.
Keep an eye on it if it gets into .55 - .58 range, on TA i expect it to hit strong resistance at that level.
On a personal note, all my ERTH money has been working very hard, (DLIA, STEM, WFHC, CIO, GOAM SIRI & SMRA to name a few) I think STEM is an ERTH type play abd will be a bir winner long term.
Good Luck ... I'll be watching
TFO
I'm happy for all ... I think that Roth news might have been stale, I would think some visible news would appear soon, if so it should move back toward 1.58 ... if not I would figure it goes back.
Good Luck ... maybe you can play a little?
TFO
That is exactly what I was thinking, some news should be coming. If not it will retrace. Keep your fingers crossed. Good luck
TFO
Very quiet on ERTH and over here.
My short term sentiment is unchanged, but I keep watching. Until now it has held great, but my most recent look sees it setting up for a significant step down.
If this happens before the r/s it will probably mean they go 1 for 20. The 1 for 10 would be better for current shareholders for a few reasons. Main impact is on future avg daily volume. At 1 for 20 it will drop to about 20,000 - 25,000 which will make the stock invisible.
JMHO
TFO
I'm Fred in Florida born in Ohio ...I can't go but I can get you guns!

BTW Price held better than I expected ... could be safe until meeting ...
10-K/A Amended Annual Report - just filed ... I won't be reading soon so I'll count on you guys to post anything exciting
thanks

Hey guys ...
Just looked at price ... .35 and volume ... 123K
I fear it may drop significantly if volume picks up ... closing in on last support of .33
Tim made good move by hedging ... IMO
I'll be back ... but I have dropped my .31 target.
Good luck ... if you are holding, pray for some news to balance.
TFO
South FL sighting report ... seen more UFOs than Earthshell products at my local WMT ... I didn't really see any UFOs but I do think I saw a few ET's shopping in there. Yeah, Venusians, loading up on bumwad ... costs a bundle on Venus.
Actually the whole "Paper plates section" is less than 15 linear feet ... could be we South Floridians just eat right off the table? At any rate, it wouldn't matter top shelf or bottom, there are only a few choices, so I think shoppers will see all items.
later all

Good morning Tim ...
Just curious if you called him....
I notice article is from Dec 2002 and I wonder if statement still stands re: mid 2003 delivery.
TFO
Thanks KP & Tim ...
I took a quick look at chart and formed a quick opinion ...
It is too light on volume for my "standards" ... tough to claim having standards when you buy penny crap! Very rarely for me if less than 100K as avg daily volume on any stock, factored with price for $100K traded daily.
Nice looking chart, though. Looks to have some more upside, for sure.
My "standards" also prohibit holding thru earnings unless I really think I know a company. (like ERTH!)
Thanks anyway
Good week for me! ... Enjoy the weekend
TFO
ERTH has so many applications the cracking/cutting factor are minimal impact IMO. I read response as a more credible endorsement than the words which come from mgmt's lips.
Key is abilty to supply / get partners producing.
I "SUSPECT" this is still a problem and more revisions in time table will be announced 5/28. IMO
Also more strongly expect r/s ... not too concerned with threat of delisting ... assume they will meet $1 via r/s and if MktCap is under, which is possible, Naz will give an extension and hopefully wiythin 8 mos some cash will be flowing. I don't really expect it would stay under the equivalent of .31 per share for very long.
APT ... nice run up into earnings and good report ... obviously not something I own! Not my style to chase rallies so APT would have to pullback close to 2.60 to get any of my money. If you own it hold it a while, didn't pick a current exit target.
ELN ... I'm very bullish on it, got in at 2.70 a few weeks back ... I'm up my 25% and ready to pull the trigger. Not unusual for me to exit early, never care. It looks like it wants to test $4 soon, but I think it makes one more pullback first and I also say it sees $6 before end of year. I would be looking to get back in if it gets back to $2.80, only a slight chance, IMO. But ELN stays on my radar. Been in and out before.
Newest stock I've found and haven't seen mentioned elsewhere is MRVC, just spotted tonight, I might buy if it doesn't gap up.
TFO
A couple of other thoughts ...
ERTH has held very well, better than I would dream, it is set up so it could get a good pop on a decent news tidbit before 5/28 or any other news release on r/s plans which most of the world has not picked up on, IMO.
OT ...sell any stock for manufacturers of Mylanta, Tums and Johnny Walker Red ... What a stress free week in the market not having any ERTH left at this time.
BTW ... I try to pass by RB once a day to find a laugh or on very rare occasion some input.
Good Luck all ... and if it does get a pop, consider playing it.
TFO
Hi all ...
Just noticed debate on RB over product positioning in stores and most recent post is correct ... the product is stocked as instructed. This is a big issue in all products and is usually a part of negotiation between distributor and retailer.
Your optimistic view is the positioning may be intentional due to inability to deliver sufficient product. Neither Walmart nor ERTH would benefit by empty shelf space ...
Your pessimistic view is ... the positioning may be intentional due to inability to deliver sufficient product.

Yesterday's News - No Opinion

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Apr 18, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- EarthShell(R) Corporation (ERTH, Trade), innovators of food service packaging designed with the environment in mind, announced today that it is filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.
The Form 10-K was inadvertently released by electronic filing earlier this week with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to obtaining the signed opinion and consent of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company's independent accounting firm. Deloitte & Touche LLP has not yet issued its report and consent. The Company has requested Deloitte & Touche LLP to proceed with completion of its auditing procedures as expeditiously as possible, and the Company believes that the financial statements contained in the Form 10-K/A for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 will not contain any material changes from the financial statements inadvertently released for filing this week.
EarthShell Corporation is a development stage company engaged in the licensing and commercialization of proprietary composite material technology for the manufacture of foodservice disposable packaging, including cups, plates, bowls, hinged-lid containers, and sandwich wraps. In addition to certain environmental characteristics, EarthShell Packaging is designed to be cost and performance competitive compared to other foodservice packaging materials.

KP - OT - About the boards
I won't bother posting at RB in the future ... I have deemed the vast majority to be __________ (easier to leave blank than to fill in all applicable adjectives)
You may feel free to copy any of my posts to that board if you feel they may be of value to those folks, for you do seem to care.
I am seeking feedback from any previous experience with stock with this type of news which has not hit and how it may factor in to inevitable catching up. I've seen this type news missed for a day or two ... never missed completely. Anyone?
TFO
Don't forget to read the 14A ... also very informative. EOM
I found last 3 news releases thru infoquotes link to uk market ... ERTH was not included ... earliest date 4/8.
I never like posts of quotes or news without date ... And always ignore quotes obviously out of context i.e. that RB quote.
TFO
I couldn't find RTS Wright ... I'll be checking here for update if you find it.
One other "insight" of mine ... In recent posts you may have seen me give opinion ERTH was being quietly accumulated ... Past two days very low volume leads me to conclude that is gone. This will be confirmed if volume stays low and stock goes down very slowly, the accumulators slowly unloading.
Watching LevelII mm's shows opposite scenario ... but I put more weight on Price, Volume and range.
Plenty of buyers if you want to hedge and unload a little at .39 ??
Also remember my concern about future avg daily volume after the r/s ... the lower the price goes, the higher the ratio of the split. At 1 for 10 ressult will factor daily volume down to 60K or less.
Later
TFO
Whew ... a little spare time too give you some thoughts.
I will admit to being very bearish, ERTH is extremely lucky none of this is getting press. I've gone from 50K to a few thousand shares left and I must say, having agonized over this stock for years it is a weird relaxed feeling.
After reading these two SEC filings, I have the following conclusions, in no partcular order.
When news of r/s hits, stock will head south.
Company is not going to show revenue for at least 2 qtrs.
SH is moving wat too slow, but performance requirements allow slowness to continue.
Company no longer expects to be breakeven by year's end.
Company is creating at least equivalent of 30%+ new shelf
Mgmt bringing down $4 mil in salaries, 1/3 of projected annual cash burn plus a variety of related income from subsidiaries.
EK has gotten a piece of new issued stock and will likely get more free stock in future dilution.
Future dilution seems probable.
Stock will be split, the 14A shows they don't have the news coming to take it up over a dollar.
The r/s will slow the ability to reach the return on investment the shareholders deserve and most likely the existing shareholders will bear the cost.
BK, which I never feared, now has a slight chance to be of concern in a year or two, if money doesn't show.
My personal plan, as of this moment ... I won't add unless it is for a bounce play, after this news, after the cc and after the split. I will hold only a little thru the next cc, I will add after stock is split. I would guess the equiv of 15,000 shares will be my maximum position for next two qtrs.
Wish I could be more bullish, but emotions never play, got to act based on what I read in those documents ... They do seem to be rather unbiased presentations.
Good Luck
TFO
One more thing ... Check out the full Schedule 14A: Link is below. It holds some other answers.
Courtesy of one of my TF freinds.
Again, don't know if any of this is hitting wires, Low volume today not a good sign, IMO.
G'nite ... I'm East coast and was up til 4 am last night. Catch ya later ... or earlier!

Important you read it ... starts with great "view" of company past and future ... then gets into scary warnings ... It gives a very real picture, can't complain about that... but I saw no ref to split.
I won't give my opinion but suggest you avoid RB, I didn't post any of this over there, said bye today :)
I will only paste one excerpt which indicates they have authority to issue only $1 mil value in stock ... Think the 10K also clearly states 144 mil shares currently oustanding ... This gives no explanation on the math of "200 million shares" as quoted in rev split proposal?
Unless they figure the price will hit .018 per share, then they could issue 56 million new shares ... Just Kidding!
And this is the best board devoted solely to ERTH, no competition
Here is excerpt .......... TFO
In December of 2001 the Company filed a shelf registration statement providing for the sale of up to $50 million of securities, including secured or unsecured debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, and warrants. These securities may be offered, separately or together, in distinct series, and in amounts, at prices and on terms to be set forth in the prospectus contained in the registration statement, and in subsequent supplements to the prospectus. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company sold 22.6 million shares of common stock in negotiated transactions under such registration statement and received net proceeds from such sales of $19.4 million.
On August 12, 2002 the Company issued $10 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2007 Debentures to institutional investors. These debentures bear interest at a rate of 1.5% per annum. The holders of these debentures had the right to convert the debentures into the Company's common stock at an initial conversion price of $1.30 per share, which has been reduced to $0.50 per share as a result of anti-dilution adjustments. Based on the conversion price relative to the fair market value of the common stock at the date of issue, the debentures were deemed to have no beneficial conversion feature. The proceeds from the debentures are held in restricted accounts linked to irrevocable letters of credit in favor of the debenture holders such that unrestricted access to the proceeds from the sale of the debentures occurs only upon conversion of the debentures into shares of the Company's common stock. In addition to the holders' conversion option, under certain circumstances, the Company has the right to force conversion of up to $500,000 of the debentures per week at a 15% discount to the market price of the Company's stock. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the debentures, the debentures may be prepaid upon twenty business days notice for 104% of the outstanding principal balance of the debentures. During the third quarter of 2002, the Company forced conversion of $1.0 million of the debentures for 2.0 million shares of common stock, reducing the outstanding balance to $9.0 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2002 the Company forced conversion of an additional $800,000 of the debentures for approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock, reducing the outstanding balance to $8.2 million as of February 28, 2003. In March 2003, as part of a new convertible debenture financing, the Company repaid $5.2 million of the debentures, and also exchanged $2.0 million of these debentures for new 2006 Debentures which are not secured by cash, thereby releasing the related cash. In connection with this restructuring, the Company issued approximately 0.6 million shares of common stock to the original debenture holders. There was an outstanding balance of an aggregate of $1.0 million of the 2007 Debentures as of March 31, 2003.
** NOTE FROM TFO >>> Last sentence in above paragraph states remaining shelf.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During 2002, the Company's largest shareholder, EKI, made various simple interest working capital loans to the Company. These loans bear interest at a rate of 7% or 10% per annum, and are payable on demand. As of December 31, 2002, the outstanding principal balance of these loans was $1,745,000. In January 2003, EKI made additional working capital loans to the Company totaling $1,010,000. Some of these loans were not repaid at their stated maturity, and thereby became convertible, at EKI's election, into shares of the Company's common stock. As part of the issuance and sale of the 2006 Debentures completed in March 2003, repayment of these loans totaling $2,755,000 has been subordinated to the new debentures with strict covenants governing their repayment.
In March 2003, the Company issued and sold $10.55 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2006 Debentures to a group of institutional investors. After transaction fees, the Company realized net proceeds of approximately $9.0 million, which, together with the $2.0 million realized as a result of the exchange of such amount of the 2006 Debentures for a like amount of the 2007 Debentures discussed above, means that the Company gained net proceeds of approximately $11.0 million from the two transactions. The remaining shares under the December 2001 shelf registration described above have been used to secure shares potentially issuable upon conversion of the 2006 Debentures.
The Company's business plan calls for the transfer of EarthShell technology to its operating partners and the transition of manufacturing responsibility to these operating partners. Certain EarthShell operating partners have already begun to invest directly in the purchase of their own manufacturing equipment for EarthShell products, minimizing the need for EarthShell to continue to invest in manufacturing equipment or manufacturing demonstration operations. Upon the completion of transition of the manufacturing responsibility to its operating partners, their subsequent build-up of manufacturing capacity and the consequent commencement of in-the-market product sales, the Company expects to then begin earning royalty revenues. Meanwhile, the Company has largely restructured its operations to reflect this transition. This has resulted in a reduction of headcount and operating costs. The Company expects the underlying cost of its operations to be reduced to under $1 million per month over the course of 2003.
While the Company believes that the cash raised through its recent convertible debenture financing transactions, combined with cash to be generated from asset sales, will be sufficient to complete its transition to cash flow positive, the Company cannot be certain that it will achieve sufficient revenues from operations to cover all of its operating expenses without raising additional capital. The Company will continue to monitor its cash position and may seek to sell equity or other securities in private transactions as necessary to ensure completion of its business plans. However, the Company cannot be certain that funding commitments can be obtained on favorable terms, if at all.

I see I only have 17 posts remaining ... just for today I presume?
I'm of the belief that these boards are the little guy's best tool ... A lot of folks with a common interest able to share knowledge and thoughts. All don't have to agree, actually best when they don't.
I used to spend my time at CS, got fed up with childish idiots and went in search of a new board. I checked IHUB, including Archies, but wasn't a fit for me. Checked RB, tried it, too many childish there, for sure. Since I did see a few signs of intelligent life at ERTH, I have thrown up a few posts in hope of helping, but as I said, RB is not for me.
The board I settled at is MSN Trader's Forum. Now semi-public, meaning you have to apply before you can post. You can read the posts without applying in case you want to check it out. Only 150 members, 20 vocal ones, a couple of ERTH lings. Most chat is on sub-$5 but it is avery diverse brain trust. Childish behavior not tolerated.
If you or any of yours want to join, let me know and i will extend invite and give a couple of personal suggestions.
But I am not here to solicit ... Although I frequently extend invites to folks I "deem worthy?", I don't like spam the board approach (and I give you permission to delete this msg or tell me to for it constitutes spam, IMO)
To be honest, I doubt I will check here or post here on a daily basis. But I will be sure to come over and give head's up on any ERTH related observations.
Should you or any of your cohorts ever desire to reach me in timely fashion ... E-mail me at PlantatFla@AOL.com
And thank you for that DTII alert ... I found no news, kind of like ERTH. ERTH news only showing on one or two less popular wires, so far.
I expect, since I'm mostly divested, tomorrow there will be something about DTII having 26,658 new lines for ERTH partners ordered and ERTH will soar.
Best of trades to you and all

Hi KP
Had the time to look at your board here and thought I would say Hi. I only checked last few posts, I'll look back further when I finish typing this post. Looks like nice board though.
I agree with you about RB board ... as I've indicated there. Yahoo has no value at all and I never bother to look at it.
I spend most of my time at TF, a very well rounded group.
I'm not in ERTH as a day trader, it is the only stock I always maintain a position in. For the moment I am actually in the red as I have continually reinvested all gains. But I am guilty of trading it frequently. And plan to continue, I look forward to the payday down the road a few years.
I've always felt ERTH will easily see $8 pps minimum and $15+ is not unrealistic. With the r/s those numbers will be adjusted as well, but we would make more profit if r/s doesn't happen.
I guess I am a day trader, everything else I own is a short term hold, today predominantly sub-$5 stock, but I'll buy anything I think will give a quick 10%. I don't short stock so it is my only defense to past few years market conditions.
Best of luck to you and all
