pr/advertising/marketing can be curses rather than blessings if the company is not ready for prime time
in this case, that would be not having all the necessary infrastructure in place, fuel ready to be dispensed, and re-fueling ready at a moments notice if the launch happens consistent with mgmt's hopes/expectations
...and your million members comprise what group that might be beneficial to the company being able to increase revenues to levels that might justify the stock rising for more than a week or so to dollars rather than pennies?

better question is did station pass alleged friday inspection

We Can Now Make Oil From Plastic
By Luke Burgess
Written Feb. 18, 2019
You might remember this scene from the 1967 comedy-drama classic The Graduate:
Mr. McGuire: I want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Plastics.
The first plastics were invented over 100 years ago. But it wasn't until WWII that plastics really became an important part of society.
Up until that point, fabricators didn't think of plastic as a manufacturing material. But the war effort changed that.
As I'm sure you know, materials such as copper, aluminum, and steel became precious metals during WWII. And engineers were desperate to find new manufacturing resources to support the war.
In steps plastic.
Plastic was an affordable and strong alternative to both glass and steel. And builders took full advantage of the new material.
Cockpit shields for airplanes were made of a plastic called Perspex. Another plastic, polythene, was used to insulate radar. And plastic was used to make synthetic rubber for tires.
Following WWII, however, plastic companies needed to find a place to sell their products. And they did: to the American public.
That's when plastics went from protecting soldiers on the battlefield to protecting a child's sandwich in the schoolyard.
And it was huge!
In the 1950s and 1960s, plastic was hot. And in the early days, every investor on the planet wanted a piece of the plastics market. Heck, I don't think it's a stretch to say that plastic was the lithium of the 1950s.
If you were ever wondering, that's why Mr. McGuire wants to tell Benjamin about plastics in The Graduate. (The film was released in 1967, but it was based on a book released in 1963.)
Today, plastics have become the enemy. There are countless anti-plastic organizations and efforts all over the world, including the anti-straw movement currently going on.
And you already know why: It takes forever for most of the plastic we use to biodegrade. It interferes with animal life and the general natural order of Earth.
And we use a lot of it. The UN estimates over 8 million tons of plastic trash goes into the ocean every year. That's bad.
The World Economic Forum predicts that by 2050, the oceans will hold more plastic than fish if things continue as they have for the past several decades.
Just look around your own house. How much plastic is surrounding you right now?
What if, instead of throwing away all that plastic, we could recycle it and use it for energy?
That would be great, right? Well, that's exactly what researchers at Purdue University have begun to do.
You see, plastics are essentially a solid form of oil. If they can be converted back to their oil form, they could be reprocessed into fuels like gasoline and diesel.
So that's exactly what scientists at Purdue did: They came up with a new chemical conversion process that could transform about 20% of the world's plastic waste into useful fuels.
Linda Wang, the lead researcher developing this technology, says:
Our strategy is to create a driving force for recycling by converting polyolefin waste into a wide range of valuable products, including polymers, naphtha (a mixture of hydrocarbons), or clean fuels. Our conversion technology has the potential to boost the profits of the recycling industry and shrink the world's plastic waste stock.
Wang says she and her team are now looking for investors to demonstrate the technology on a commercial scale.
Maybe one day the fuel going into your gas tank will have previously been the bag you carried out of the store.
Until next time,
Luke Burgess
the man in black doesn't stand out easily in crowds
let's see if he does a pump and ... at the pumps
this would be very helpful
how about on of you guys who lives nearby the daytona shores station get your drone off the ground and hover over the station for awhile as someone did for ecsl several days ago for the facebook site.
even better, how about ecsl repeat now what was posted to the facebook site last week
and that stock play is down about 95% from when the transaction was done in april 2017
so is $117k in fy2q19 revenue
not true
disappointment, among other things, come to mind
half the field wiped out in the last couple of laps ... like deja vu all over again said yogi
$347mm market cap in next 10 days ... i think not
the daytona beach shores service station lease is ballpark $2,500/month for first year w/ a 5-year option to renew, so $30k/yr give or take
fwiw .. tuesday evening

Inventory arriving today. CyberFuels station is pretty much fully stocked. Pump & Tank inspection on Friday followed by fuel deliveries and we'll be up and running!
the other recent posters are right
it is a 6-month report
and the one that will be released on may 15 will be a 9-month report
obfuscation isn't the exception when it comes to ecsl
it is the rule
Energynut post 67064--
ECSL is like an investment soap opera.
Will Ron open a station in time for the Daytona 500?
Will the Texas distributor contribute 2.8 m to ECSL's revenue?
When will the 12 stations owned by the First Nation in Canada open?
Stay tuned for next week's exciting episode. lol.

well, episode and series cancelled
fy2q revs $117,456, down 7% y-y, not $200k as some poster claimed
~$117k nowhere near $700k
revs up 38% q-q, but g&a up 67%
dec qtr yr ago revs down 29%, but g&a up 43%
shs issued for cash & services ~721k fy1h19 vs ~889k fy1h18
f/d shs up 3.7% y-y, issued shs trend starting to accelerate again

But it wasn’t long ago the first of February was the day, and prior to that it was Canada, and just go through last years press releases if you need anymore facts. It’s simple to see what was said, and then what was/wasn’t done
~elguapo19 (previous post)
hmmmm...
last year's press releases? where? on encountercare's website?
there is the most recent stock holders update dated 9/26/18. none of the prior ones are on the site anymore
the filings and disclosure statements are all there, but press releases they're not
under encountercare in the news ... one article titled "flavour of the times" dated 2/3/15 from some rag in trinidad
that's it
can we take it to the bank that the daytona shores station is being rented/leased and not bought? if so, what are the likely monthly lease payments? not a good sign that sunoco brand punted, though bad mgmt could have been the reason. i tend to agree it does not look like a high volume location given the drone photos from above
don'tcha think a $36mm mkt cap is a big stretch for one station barely out of mothballs, not operating, and watching race week do a flyby?
never ever trust a ceo who wears all black, especially one not practicing his craft in and around hollywood
i thought no news was good news when dealing with the man in black. then he can't disappoint the shareholders. presumably he's learning that it's hard to operate or grow with virtually no cash on hand. vendors get tired of scrip after awhile
sales, marketing, and operations are not strengths of the man in black
$690mm market cap ... longer odds than rams scoring 3 pts in sb53
very good observation. serious top line growth rarely happens burdened by an asset heavy business model without significant incremental working capital needs. Capital raises will be a necessary evil if the man in black ever fulfills a corporate campaign promise
looks a lot like a white castle. where's the beef (color)? doesn't look like a color scheme that's going to catch most drivers' eyes. good news i suppose is that the blue and green design on the pumps is better than a man in black beside them. is that women the supposed marketing whiz hired a few years ago?
lots of startups with low or no revenues, minimal cash and significant cash burn rates pay vendors, consultants, and other service providers via shs and wts. that's just the way it is. if you don't like that behavior, stay away from young companies that must/choose to use their shares to attract capital and labor.
it's tax loss selling season, and forced selling is no doubt part of the downdraft today.
stock also broke down through an 8-mo uptrend.
http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=MRMD&insttype=Stock&freq=1&show=&time=8
shs o/s have increased rapidly over the past two years from 64mm end of 2016 to 177mm end of 2017 to 203mm as of 9-30-18.
operating cash burn was about $20mm in 2017 and about $10mm during 3q18.
the good news .. maybe? today looks a puke selling day on what will end up being the highest down volume day in the stock's publicly-traded history.
don't forget the $20 targets implying a $1.0bil-plus mkt cap several years ago
revs $85.3k, down y-y and dn q-q
cash burn $227k, ignoring 250k shs issued for services
69.3mm shs, up 1.4mm q-q
timing remains elusive for those claiming otherwise
incorrect
it is an unaudited compilation of consolidated financial statements by a non-independent cpa

i applaud you for finally seeing the light, but don't understand what took you so long
i hope for your sake revenues actually start growing meaningfully beyond the $300-$400k annual run rate, but see no signs of such a change in trend
perhaps the presumably imminent release of the financials and disclosures will surprise to the upside, but as a bettor, it's a fool's errand
reality therapy, part 2
well said
i had to talk the ceo of one private company where i'm a director out of a joint venture in china where our company's IP would most likely have been stolen or reverse engineered within a year if not months
when a small co and large co go to battle over a dispute, inevitably the deeper pockets prevail
one of best posts on this board in the past 5 years
the reality of it all
potential disruptive technologies that are not managed and/or marketed well die cruel deaths
every q the revs are marginally better
