Actually I was up working very late. I was pleased to see that Stock Reporter*** took up my suggestion and looked into Nanopierce. I knew they would find the technology potential as staggering as we do.

I posted the SEC lawsuit against the npct promoter and her reply was
"Just to set the record straight. I wanted to draw attention to these two posts since our Internet terrorist is trying to claim that NanoPierce is in trouble over this issue which is not the case. NanoPierce did not pay for the report, nor did NanoPierce commission Ms. Skousen to write it. NanoPierce is aware of the SEC litigation, but they are not a part of the litigation. There is no public litigation notice from the SEC stating that they have filed anything against NanoPierce . When the Stock Reporter was sanctioned by the SEC the company was questioned about it and that was the extent of NanoPierce involvement. Our favorite person to dislike wants the world to think otherwise, but she is sadly mistaken. Her vendetta against me and NanoPierce is misdirected and she hasn't got the sense to see both sides of an issue."
Yet the SEC lawsuit clearly states that npct paid for the report. She is obviously lying.

I will post the rest of the information in my forums in a short time from now.]Stockreporter begins coverage of NanoPierce Technologies, Inc. (NPCT), an affiliate of Intercell Corp. (INCE), with a Strong Buy recommendation and a conservative 2001 price target of $20 per share. DENVER, COLORADO, January 10, 2000. NanoPierce Technologies, Inc. (OTC/BB: NPCT) has received a strong buy recommendation from Stockreporter, a leading European financial Internet publication located at www.stockreporter.de. Stockreporter specializes in the coverage of micro-cap stocks and undervalued OTC and BB companies. The successful Stockreporter team is one of the first independent analysts to begin coverage and release an investment opinion on this technology development and marketing company. NanoPierce has the potential to revolutionize the manufacturing processes of the huge electronics industry. Stockreporter began coverage with a conservative target price of $20.00 per share for the year 2001.
NanoPierce is commercializing its patented NanoPierce Connection System (NCS) that has numerous applications almost anywhere electrical connections are made AND requires very little capital investment for electronics industry manufacturers. The NCS manufacturing process is less expensive, gives better electric conductivity and enjoys superior thermal characteristics than current, traditional connection processes. This translates into accelerated performance. Electrical connections have been and remain the endless competitive driver of the electronics industry. "We are extremely pleased to initiate coverage of NanoPierce Technologies, Inc. with a Strong Buy recommendation for investors interested in the tremendous growth potential we believe NCPT provides. NCPT's patented technology and know-how has almost unlimited applications in the worlds largest market, the electronics industry," commented Torsten Prochnow from Stockreporter. "Since Stockreporter initiated coverage the last week of December, NCPT has increased from clearly less than $1.00 per share to clearly over $3.00 per share, an almost 300% increase in one week. NCPT started December at about $0.50 per share." "In addition, NanoPierce's affiliate, Intercell Corp. (OTC/BB: INCE), owns about 35% of NCPT. INCE's market cap is currently about $10 million, while its holdings in NCPT are now worth $43 million, which could easily justify a current value per INCE share of $0.75 or a respective price target of at least $1.00 per share. At a current price of $0.13 per share and a current average daily trading volume of over 3 million shares, INCE could provide investors with another very promising opportunity to invest in NanoPierce," Torsten Prochnow continued. "Last fall, NanoPierce opened an office in Munich to leverage its business development in Europe. Top management is visiting Germany in mid-January to meet with some of the largest electronics companies in the world and with some very powerful financial institutions," Torsten Prochnow added. "Stockreporter believes that NCPT is on the verge of a tremendous growth stage. NanoPierce's 'cheaper, better and smaller' electronic connection technology could revolutionize electronics manufacturing. Because of this potential, we are projecting substantial returns for investors with our year 2002 conservative price target of $30.00 per share," Prochnow continued. Nanopierce is applying for listing on the Frankfurt Exchange through the Services of Berliner Freiverkehr, Frankfurt, Germany. The NanoPierce report issued by Stockreporter includes the following information: COMPANY OVERVIEW NanoPierce Technologies, Inc. (OTC/BB: NCPT) is a technology company committed to commercialize and market its patented, innovative electronics connection system. The NanoPierce Connection System (NCS) is a revolutionary manufacturing technology and process that makes reliable, high-performance electrical connections without soldering, spring-loading or pin-in-hole connectors. This advanced system is designed to provide significant improvement over conventional electrical and mechanical interconnection methods for high-density circuit boards, components, sockets, connectors, semiconductor packaging and electronic systems.
NCS is based on standard manufacturing processes and is easily implemented in existing production operations without new capital investment by the manufacturer. It easily replaces conventional connection techniques and it facilitates further miniaturization of electronic components. Most importantly, NCS reduces manufacturing cost by eliminating manufacturing steps and unnecessary materials. The manufacturing of NCS is based on standard circuit board processes using standard equipment and commercially available, inexpensive raw materials. Rather than the labor intensive soldering, wired connection or pin-in-hole methods, NCS utilizes a simplified "electroplating-type" bath. The circuit board or electronic component is treated in the bath for a very brief time. The bath deposits microscopic particles (such as inexpensive industrial diamond dust) and metal on a contact surface. The particles work like "conductive sandpaper," serving as force concentrators. There are multiple connections in a given miniature space. The resulting connections have better electrical conductivity, less resistance (lower thermal characteristics) and outstanding radio frequency (RF) performance than the current conventional connection methods. The absence of moving parts is ideal for miniaturization and improved reliability. Electronics is now the world's largest industry. The growth in the electronics market is driven by consumer expectation for new products with innovative features at lower prices. To meet consumer demand, the industry continues to shrink the size, increase the functionality and lower the cost of its devices and products. NCS can provide the electronics industry with a cheaper, easier manufacturing process that has better performance and reliability than existing, traditional technologies. The applications for NCS are practically limitless in the electronics industry. NCS has already proven itself in several niche markets including automated test equipment for packaged semiconductor integrated circuits (lCs). NCS is now ready for commercial application immediately. The Company believes that additional market segments can be penetrated without additional technology development. In order to bring NCS efficiently to commercialization, NanoPierce has developed a strategic business plan to target specific markets and products. The Company's strategy is to implement three main commercialization routes, namely: Technology Transfer, the licensing and strategic partnering with on-site training and ongoing support, such as in the smart card and connector industries; SmartLabels, disposable, paper-thin labels that contain both semiconductor chips and antenna that is expected to be a huge market and is an ideal application for the extremely inexpensive NCS technology; and WaferPierce, an attractive alternative for semiconductor makers as it lowers manufacturing cost while improving electrical and heat performance and enabling further miniaturization.These seemingly unrelated NSC applications are actually highly inter-related and interdependent. The Company believes that the key to its strategy is the ability to leverage NCS's market success in one segment to other segments resulting a broad, industry-wide adoption of NCS.
INVESTMENT MERITS AND CONSIDERATIONS NCPT's stock price is already on the move. It has increased from $0.50 at the beginning of December to almost $1.00 towards the end of December when Stockreporter initiated coverage, to clearly over $3.00 the first week of January.
The intellectual property rights to NCS are entirely owned by Nanopierce. The Company recently obtained $1 million in equity bridge financing to enable the Company to implement its strategic business plan for commercialization of NCS. On January 11, 2000, the Company is scheduled to close a $4 million financing, which will enable it to aggressively implement its Strategic Business Plan. NanoPierce has several promising developments in Europe and plans to pursue these avenues that could bring about rapid market success. With the addition to the Company's management team of Dr. Michael Wernle, one of the top experts in the Smart Card/Smart Label industry, as Executive Vice President – Strategic Business Development, NanoPierce opened executive offices in Munich, Germany. Dr. Wernle and his team will be responsible for the worldwide Smart Card/Smart Label business operations. The Company's top management is meeting some of the world's largest manufacturing companies and prestigious financial institutions in Germany in mid-January. Stockreporter believes that 2000 could be the NCS Technology's breakout year, as NanoPierce is now initiating its full-force marketing efforts. Click here to read disclaimer: investortoinvestor.com |
