SS ERTH @ 2 11/16 Another pump & dump by this POS company. They are a developmental stage turd with no revs. Short at will. DJ CLARIFICATION:McD's Deciding If EarthShell Box Meets Needs 24 Oct 15:04 EarthShell Senior Vice President Vincent J. Truant said McDonald's is still deciding what characteristics of the box meets its requirements. Any McDonald's agreement also would not prevent EarthShell from pursuing other business opportunities. (A story that ran at 2:38 p.m. EDT on Oct. 23 misrepresented some of the executive's comments.) Here's Oct 23 story: DJ EarthShell -2: Could Lead To Agreement With McDonald's 23 Oct 14:38 By Laura Elizabeth Pohl Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Eco-friendly packaging for Big Macs may soon be found at the neighborhood McDonald's Corp. (MCD), courtesy of EarthShell Container Corp. (ERTH). The Annapolis Junction, Md., company said Monday its EarthShell Big Mac sandwich containers, which are made from recycled milk and juice boxes, limestone and starch, have been shipped to Chicago for what the company believes will be the final validation testing for the products. EarthShell Senior Vice President Vincent J. Truant said McDonald's is still deciding what characteristics of the box it does and doesn't want to keep. Truant sees the validation, once it happens, "leading up to an agreement of some sort," he said. "If we are successful, then our companies would sit down and develop a logical ramp-up" into McDonald's' U.S. restaurants. McDonald's officials were not immediately available for comment. Truant could not offer a revenue estimate from any agreement and emphasized that neither company has ever said EarthShell would supply Big Mac boxes for all McDonald's restaurants in the United States. Any McDonald's agreement also would not prevent EarthShell from pursuing business at other restaurant chains. For the time being, however, EarthShell is more interested in business from airlines, convention centers, stadiums and other non-chain entities, Truant said. EarthShell shares recently shot up 76.7% on the news to $1.56. Volume was heavy at 1.5 million compared with average daily volume of 293,000. Analysts covering EarthShell were not immediately available for comment. -Laura Elizabeth Pohl, Dow Jones Newswires; 201-938-5392, laura.pohl@dowjones.com
