Javelin Play - UCOI - Liar, Liar



Liar, Liar

In the penny stock world, it is one trick after another. Here is one you likely never gave much thought to. It is called a Stock Subscription. What is a stock subscription? It is where someone gives money in exchange for share except they do not receive them!

How is this tool used to fool the investor? It helps to understate the amount of shares outstanding/dilution by pushing the dilutive event down the road to where it will kick in at a later date.

If the company is in the progress of a massive dilution leading up to a reverse split, the shares can even be issued after the reverse and additional dilution, which will minimize the impact of the actual issuance of the shares. More so when the stock subscription is nothing more than “throwaway money”. For more about throwaway money, you can find it at the following link.

The investor can be further fooled by announcing through multiple PR’s that the stock was actually issued when in fact such was not the case. How does that fool the investor? An investor following the company will read that the stock was issued and when the next SEC filing comes around, they might just look for the headline number of the outstanding shares and not be looking for a stock subscription payable in the financials. Thus the investor is fooled by the contradiction of facts.

Where was this tactic used? Our favorite, Unico Incorporated (UCOI). Below are actual excerpts from the PR’s stating that the shares had been issued with the full PR’s appended at the end

Unico, Inc. Announces First Round of $1 Million Private Placement Financing

Unico, Incorporated (OTCBB: UCOI), a natural resource company in the precious metals mining sector, today announced that the company has received the first round of a what is expected to be a total of $1,000,000 of financing in the form of private placement investments in restricted common stock.
On December 29, 2006, Unico sold 42,785,700 shares of its restricted common stock to an unrelated third party for a purchase price per share of $0.014 and an aggregate purchase price of $599,000. The shares were issued restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933


Unico, Inc. Announces Next Round of $1 Million Private Placement Financing.

SAN DIEGO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/22/07 -- Unico, Incorporated (OTCBB: UCOI), a natural resource company in the precious metals mining sector, today announced that the company has received the second round of a total of $1,000,000 of financing in the form of private placement investments in restricted common stock.
On January 12, 2007, Unico sold 33,333,333 shares of its restricted common stock to an unrelated third party for a purchase price per share of $0.012 and an aggregate purchase price of $400,000. The shares were issued restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.

So what are the hard facts?

UNICO INC /AZ/ (UCOI) 10QSB filed 10/12/2007

Stock Payable

During the year ended February 28, 2007, the Company sold a total of 76,119,033 shares of restricted common stock to a third party for total consideration of $999,000. As of August 31, 2007, these shares had not been issued, resulting in a stock payable of $999,000.


As you can clearly see, no stock had been issued by the end of August, according to the SEC filings even though there were two PR’s stating that stock had been issued in regard to this transaction.

How does a stock subscription agreement turn into the issuance of shares if they remained unissued? Can you say Liar, Liar? Either the PR's are wrong or the SEC filings are wrong, you decide.
