well, here....I hope I saved someone a bit of time in the question compilation:
I think I see a few that might be tentatively known, but most of these seem to remain unknowns...
(from last year....time flies when you're tinkering!!!!)
Operational:
1) Time required to build each machine
2) Cost of each machine
3) Timeline of Company’s future operations (3-5 year plan similar to how commodity companies update shareholders with operations update) – timing of rollout, approximate timing of permit application process, estimated production level)
4) Storage and logistic issues in future sites
5) Permitting issues update (ex: road blocks in increasing through put re: DEC) or anticipated future issues
6) Patent protection / trade secret
7) Are there enough steady local feedstock supply? Any potential long term contract as it is an important variable in Ontario (given the smaller population etc)
8) What happened to Chrysler, why is it no longer listed as being a partner with the company?
9) Any potential legal/operational/logistical issues
10) When will JBII be able to produce and sell P2O fuel at the rates claimed either pre or post the new SWP limits approval.
Is there a reason not to generate fuel at the original
If JBII is not able to generate P2O fuel at the claimed rates, why not?
11) Has the company hired any additional engineers since Mr. Rauber became CEO?
12) What of the NY State, #6 fuel oil ban debate? Will clean JBI #6 fuel be still allowed under the new law?
13) I would also like to know what's going on with the premelt. We were supposed to see a premelt that consumes large plastic items, but we have only seen shredded plastic entering the system.
14) Does RKT have enough plastic waste sans the ability to process raggertail? Can JBI shred plastic at its Niagara Falls facility and generate a profit.
15) Is there a large, committed plastic waste stream of the right kind to begin serious commercial production?
16) Why hasn't commercial operations capable of demonstrating the company's claims of cost and profit commenced?
17) What is the longest time processor one has run for at one time?
How much plastic did it consume in that time? How much sellable product did it produce during that run (#2/#6 or whatever)?
How many people were involved in any way in running the machine during the entire run? What was the source of the plastic?
What did it cost ie if free was freight paid by the provider or JBI? Was all the output either sold or used for customer testing?
Was this run before or after the pre-melt was added? Was the processor running at capacity the entire period?
18) If the NYDEC approves the throughput volume, can that the throughput immediately ramp up to the regulatory volume level or will there be materials handling issues?
As processor volume manufacturing ramps up will there be alternative domestic manufacturing facilities?
19) Will JBI have a min amount of fuel stored at any given time as production ramps up, if so, what are the quantities for each fuel type to be stored and that level maintained?
Financial:
1) Will the company be issuing financial (high level P&L and balance sheet – Earning estimates) and data projection
Other:
1) Potential Long term contract similar to Rocktenn
2) Public awareness – international expansion
3) Qualification of government grants (as alternative power companies receive millions in grants each year, not sure if JBI qualifies)
4) Is Al Sousa still involved in any way or have the FL sites been put on the back burner?
5) Any progress with the SEC...estimated time frame for it to be resolved?
6) Will investors be allowed to schedule a visit to tour the plant?
7) Regarding the recent magazine article, John commented that there are now plans to build 5 processors at NF and to install a 275KW generator there. Is this true? What's the progress to that end?
8) Do you consider the concerns expressed by the former CEO in the most recent 10-K under the heading "Techniques employed by manipulative short sellers may drive down the market price of our common stock" to be serious concerns? Is there any evidence that the company's share price has been effected by such techniques?
