Ore Pharmaceuticals Reports Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results
phx.corporate-ir.net

The Company expects to eliminate approximately $7.2 million in salary and benefit expenses per year

I'm sure that was meant to say THIS year, but a sad ironic
twist is that you can extrapolate those financials into
next year and it all comes out nice and even, everything
evenually trends to $0.

It looks as though, assuming no money comes in, that they'll
finish this year with $8 to $10M--and the current marketcap
is just under $8M. That's a stock priced *free*, which I
suppose is okay if you follow the trend down, but there
is obviously an increasing chance as the marketcap trends
to zero that a buyer finally steps up.

I'm not going to say what I need out of this to be whole,
but I will say that this is either stupid cheap with
great leverage, or a trap. Well, we know it was a trap a
year ago. But so was Washington Mutual, so who cares.

Who knows, maybe some of the money that has been tied up
in Genentech will slosh into the sector and the microcap
biotechs will do well over the next year. It wouldn't
take much to make an $8M penny stock double or triple.
And there is nothing better when you've been in the hole,
to actually be made whole. I wont hold my breath (just
my nose).
