Thats right, Stockmaster. We also don't need any more quigee board financial analysis with fake 90% decline claims.
You are making an assumption that its a money issue and it may not be. Certainly the website cost cannot be a major one. I will post the response when I get it.
You raise a valid issue. I will inquire.
You say "As I suspected you don't have the actual downfall sales in Mexico". Atually, here are the "actual" sales for Mexico. As all sales are in Mexico, the sales totals from OTC Markets are the Mexico sales totals. They are the same.
You will notice in the data below, at no point, either year over year, or quarter over quarter, has the sales declined 90%. The worst decline is 83% from 124k to 21k in the most recent quarter.
Here is the calculation:
(124-21)/124 = 0.83 or 83% decline
This is not 90%, so this begs the question of where the 90% came from. I suspect it was just free-flowing from some body orifice.
Annual (period ending)
6/30/16.....263k
6/30/15......86k
6/30/14.....529k
6/30/13.....153k
Quarterly (period ending)
3/31/17......21k
12/31/16....124k
9/30/16......36k
6/31/16......25k
3/31/16......77k
12/31/15.....70k
If you want sales by country, here it is:
Mexico: 100%
All others: 0%
This was a simple calculation as all sales are in Mexico.
No calculator or sliderule required.
There is no justification for modifying a CR article as was done in post #4477. Those companies were sent warning letters by the FDA for illegal marketing practices. Perhaps they changed their practices to comply with the FDA and are now selling in the US, but I don't know. All these products listed are not in the drug category, so why do you try to connect a drug like Sucanon to non-drugs that were listed?
You say "Those names are just ones ALLOWED in the USA". This is not what the article say. Perhaps a little remedial reading classes are in order?
Here is what the article says:
"...the Food and Drug Administration wants to you to beware: it warned 15 companies last week about the illegal marketing of certain diabetes products, including Glucocil, Glytain, ProBeta’s Gynmena Sylvestre, and Zostrix Joint and Arthritis Pain Relief Cream."
First, I did not reaffirm anything. As for the CR "wordsmithing" in post #4477 the work is in plain view for all to see for themselves and judge.
Yet again you leave off the list for at least 30 times. So why not post the redacted sentence?
Here is the readacted sentence:
it warned 15 companies last week about the illegal marketing of certain diabetes products, including Glucocil, Glytain, ProBeta’s Gynmena Sylvestre, and Zostrix Joint and Arthritis Pain Relief Cream.
You are twisting the FDA letter all around.
The key point is the FDA declared Sucnon to be a drug.
Second point is that the Consumer Reports article was modified in post #4477 to mislead readers to believe that Roth received a warning letter about Sucanon. The key sentence redacted is the list of offending companies and products, of which Roth/Sucanon is not on the list. With this key sentence removed readers might logically conclude that Sucanon is an offending product (it is not). Readers might logically conclude that Roth received a warning letter (it did not).
Everyone should stop and ask how the modification occured. Are we all to believe it was a "fat finger" mistake? This is highly unlikely as the redacted sentence is in the middle of the article, so if the copy and paste function chopped off something it would logically be at the beginning or the end of the article, but it was in the middle. If we figure it was copied and pasted in 2 separate events doing 1/2 each time, it is conceivable that the redacted sentence could have been left out accidentally, but there is another problem. The colon (:) at the end of the first part of the article was magically changed to a period (.) indicating the end of a sentence where the colon means there is more to follow.
Could this have happened by accident?.....no way!
Here is the full Consumer Reports article. I have highlighted in bold red the omitted sentence.
Watch out for fake diabetes treatments
Published: July 31, 2013 08:00 AM
If you see products on store shelves that claim to treat, cure, or prevent diabetes and its complications, the Food and Drug Administration wants to you to beware: it warned 15 companies last week about the illegal marketing of certain diabetes products, including Glucocil, Glytain, ProBeta’s Gynmena Sylvestre, and Zostrix Joint and Arthritis Pain Relief Cream.
What can you do? Watch out for the following product types and their treatment claims:
• “Natural” supplements. We’ve warned consumers in the past about the dangers of supplements. Some drugs labeled as “natural” were found to contain pharmaceutical ingredients that may actually harm rather than help.
• Dietary supplements. These supplements claim to treat and even prevent diabetes. These products are not FDA approved and therefore cannot make such a claim.
• Online pharmacy drugs. Online suppliers are selling prescription drugs to people without a prescription. Unapproved versions of diabetes drugs are found on these pharmacy websites.
• Unapproved OTC medications. These drugs claim to relieve symptoms associated with diabetes, but are not approved by the FDA.
Besides potential harm from the various treatments, there is concern that using these products will prevent people from seeking medical treatment and FDA-approved drugs.
Here are three generic, low-cost options that our CR Best Buy Drug experts recommend you discuss with your doctor:
• Metformin and Metformin Sustained Release (alone or with glipizide or glimepiride)
• Glipizide and Glipizide Sustained release (alone or with metformin
• Glimepiride (alone or with metformin)
In addition to taking medicine, it’s important to closely monitor your blood sugar. In our tests of blood glucose meters, the Accu-Chek Aviva and the FreeStyle Freedom Lite were two that came out on top. Results from blood glucose meters can help patients make adjustments to diet, exercise, and treatment plans. Close monitoring can help to lower the risk of diabetes-related issues, such as kidney disease and seizures.
Although there are no reported injuries yet, according to the FDA, the agency urged people who have experienced any side effects to report them through an online form.
— Ciara Rafferty
As has been explained in great detail many times, the FDA did not deny anything. They did not approve an application for over-the-counter sales because Sucanon is a drug. The FDA never said Roth or Sucanon is a scam. The 4 years time frame is meaningless.
If one wishes to believe the modified version of a Consumer Reports article per post #4477, then they might be misled to believe Sucanon is a scam, but the report was modified to falsely implicate Roth. Everyone should question why a CR article would need to be modified to deceive readers?
Here is the full Consumer Reports article. I have highlighted in bold red the omitted sentence.

Here is a link to the article:
http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2013/07/diabetes-treatment-alternatives/index.htm
So you choose not to believe the finacial information I presented in post #9870.
This is your right to not accept this information available on OTC Markets, but you claim that sales have dropped by 90% so you must have some other source of information. Can you share this source of information?
You say my post #987 is not correct, so please tell everyone exactly what is not correct.
No, its not irrelevant. If you thought it was irrelevant then why did you bring it up?
Please read my post #9870 and state what is not correct if you can find anything incorrect. Otherwise just say its correct.
If you keep hopping from subject to subject nothing gets resolved. How about discussing point #6 in my previous post concerning the supposed 90% sales drop. Any comments to #6 ?
Lets analyze just #6 chosen at random so as not to be overwhelming.
Here is point #6:
6. Sales for Mexico are down almost 90% --FACT
The following data is from OTC Markets. Anyone can dig is out and verify that it is correct.
Annual (period ending)
6/30/16.....263k
6/30/15......86k
6/30/14.....529k
6/30/13.....153k
Quarterly (period ending)
3/31/17......21k
12/31/16....124k
9/30/16......36k
6/31/16......25k
3/31/16......77k
12/31/15.....70k
Nowhere is there a 90% sales drop. The closest you will find is the 124k to 21k quarterly drop. This is an 83% drop and it looks like it was rounded up to 90%, but it does not matter as this is one pie3ce of cherry-picked data.
Point #6 alone declaring 90% sales drop taken alone with no detailed information might lead one to believe the company sales have significantly declined but this is simply not the case.
A detailed analysis has in fact been done for most or all of the 13 points by myself and swetlou, yet the detailes are never presented by poster Jayyy.
Note to all readers: Always consider the source of the information especially if the details are ommitted.
Have you even consider the possibility that someone else other than Roth paid for the study?

Of course the date is not "never", but when it is released you certainly will complain how late it is. How silly to think that an expensive major clinical trial would not culminate in a report.
sweetlou, your post is not "verbose" at all. Seems Jayyy uses the word "verbose" for any statements with important details that are longer than sound bytes. It is of course, as we both know, impossible to convey the details and full story using single words such as "banned" or "denied'.
sweetlou, your post is absolutely fabulous! I can vouch for the fact that Mike Irving never told me a date when the clinical trial results would be released. A release date was never defined or promised.
Stockmaster, your credibility is very high vs one who modifies Consumer Reports articles. Enough said.
Stockmaster, a very interesting post indeed! Maybe Cathy Lerman should visit this board and read the posts which mention her name and give her email address and phone number too. I wonder if this violates iHub rules??
Why not post the body of your SEC/FINRA letters here? Of course redact your personal information. This is your chance to make your case.
So you think that the day after the 12 weeks is complete there is instantly a report published in a trade journal? Some time is required for sure to compile data, write a report, circulate report internally for review and comments, incorporation of comments, and recircirclate.
Maybe even some reviews outside the hospital? Maybe some meetings to discuss results? Maybe there were some unexpected roadblocks?....who knows?
No Jayyy, the trials are for real and the patient investors will reap the rewards.
If you feel this is phony, then I encourage you to write to the SEC and FINRA and tell them its all phony. Good luck with that. Please remember to share your letters to SEC/FINRA with everyone here as well as responses.
Exactly the right questions to ask, Stockmaster! I will add one more question for Jayyy: Why did you modify the Consumer Reports article?
Mike Irving does not run Roth - he is the IR (investor relations) person only. He has worked with many companies over the years.
This message board is about Roth and Sucanon and not about Mike Irving. Luis Lopez is the CEO and Barry Hall is the CFO.
The post modified the CR article by leaving out the key sentence that lists the offending companies and products.
Mike Irving did not do this. Roth did not do this. No other poster did this.
The CR article modification was modified to mislead readers to believe the article applies to Roth and it does not.

I am not attacking you, but just your posts. If others wish to extend the attack to you then I cannot stop them, but I attack only the post and not the poster as required.
A lot of half-truths as usual.
First, the FDA did not ban Sucanon. They just did not approve an application for over-the-counter sales.
Second, Sucanon was not denied by the FDA. They just did not approve an application for over-the-couunter sales.
Third, actually, the application for over-the-counter sales was not approved only because the FDA determined that Sucanon is a drug. This is good news and bad news. Good in that it is classified as a drug, but bad because sales of Sucanon could not be sold immediately over-the-counter.
Fourth, of course no sales in Canada is not a good thing, but this is only becaue a distributor has not been set up yet in Canada.
Fifth, you say that "stock is a loser". This is a relative and meaningless term. Every stockholder surely wants the price to be higher and when India aproves Sucanon the price will surely go up. When Canagen starts to sell in India surely the price will go up. When the clinial trial results from ABC Hospital in Mexico are released surely the price will go up. The investors do not own Roth for its present sales and financial condition, but rather for the huge future potential.
Sixth, the revoked business license in Nevada is bogus as this has been reassigned to Wyoming as I understand it. Please do some unbiased research here if you can.
Exactly sweetlou! Sucanon is a drug per the FDA letter. This is very clear as you showed the details of the FDA letter very clearly.
The FDA wrote it very clearly in the King's English.
Great post!
This post discusses everything BUT Roth and Sucanon.
Lets get back to the subject matter, ok?
The post modified the CR article by leaving out the key sentence that lists the offending companies and products.
Mike Irving did not do this. Roth did not do this. No other poster did this.
I am not attacking you, but just your posts. If others wish to extend the attack to you then I cannot stop them, but I attack only the post and not the poster as required.
Gomer Pyle would say "shame, shame, shame!" about the post (not the poster)
Would a person who modifies a CR article be a fraudster? I'm not saying yes or no, but maybe you have some idea?
If a person wished to write his own article and have it published, then fine, but if that person cut and pasted an article from another source, removing a key sentences in the middle and then changing a colon (:) to a period (.) to make it appear as though nothing was removed, this would be unethical.
it warned 15 companies last week about the illegal marketing of certain diabetes products, including Glucocil, Glytain, ProBeta’s Gynmena Sylvestre, and Zostrix Joint and Arthritis Pain Relief Cream.
Removing this key sentence would be just as unethical as changing the words. If the shoe fits then wear it.
I am not attacking the poster, just the post. If others want to extrapolate I cannot stop them, but again, for the record, I am not attacking the poster - just the post.
Sweetlou, thanks very much for the wealth of top quality professional posts full of facts and detailed information.
It is nice to read posts such as these that are not based on conspiracacy theory, lies, misinformation, misleading information, modified Consumer Reports articles, cherry picked and/or incorrect finalcial informaton, etc, etc.
The investors and all readers very much appreciate your efforts.
Thanks for the link Stockmaster. This is the way it should be done versus doing a cut and paste, modifying, deleting , or editing.
Thanks for being 100% transparent.
Yes, 1.5 years is nothing. We real investors are very patient and in this for the long term.
No need to admit guilt because the guilt is plain for all to see.
The Consumer Reports article was modified to falsely implicate Roth and Sucanon.

I see some evasive action, so please try to refocus on the Consumer Reports article that was modified. I assume the modified CR article is included in the letters to the SEC and FINRA as attachments, assuming they were actually written and sent. Please post your letters for all to see, but yes, in this case it is acceptable to omit your name and contact information.

So let me see if I understand correctly....you post with the key sentence omitted, then you claim that the article applies to Roth and Sucanon, even though neither "Sucanon" or "Roth" appears in the omitted sentence. Do I understand your absence of logic correctly or am I missing something?
Read the key omitted sentence closely....V E R Y__C L O S E L Y.....
it warned 15 companies last week about the illegal marketing of certain diabetes products, including Glucocil, Glytain, ProBeta’s Gynmena Sylvestre, and Zostrix Joint and Arthritis Pain Relief Cream.
You will see that "Sucanon" and "Roth" do not appear anywhere in the sentence. If you do not see "Sucanon" or "Roth" in there, then please read it again even more carefully and it still will not be there.
So what possible reason could there be to post the CR article without the following key sentence:
it warned 15 companies last week about the illegal marketing of certain diabetes products, including Glucocil, Glytain, ProBeta’s Gynmena Sylvestre, and Zostrix Joint and Arthritis Pain Relief Cream.
As always, be sure to consider the source of all posts. Remember that a tiger never changes it stripes!
