We are suspending coverage of FNRG as of today, following a series of negative and open-ended news events.

In the past two weeks trading in these shares have been suspended by NASDAQ and the SEC following news regarding the Company’s chairman and a series of allegations relating to the Company’s stock.  Late last week, the new CEO expressed plans to delist from NASDAQ (and ostensibly trade on the OTCBB) once the trading suspension has been lifted. Separately, according to a recent filing, there are issues regarding late milestone payments (a note) due to the founders of the ALD subsidiary, acquired last year.

We have confidence in the current leadership but require clarity and resolutions on these fronts. Once we have more clarity, we will consider renewing research coverage.

DISCLAIMER

This Select Research update was prepared for informational purposes only.

Goldman Small Cap Research, (a division of Two Triangle Consulting Group, LLC) produces research via two formats: Goldman Select Research and Goldman Opportunity Research. The Select format reflects the Firm’s internally generated stock ideas along with economic and stock market outlooks. Opportunity Research reports, updates and Microcap Hot Topics articles reflect sponsored (paid) research but can also include non-sponsored microcap research ideas that typically carry greater risks than those stocks covered in the Select Research (non-sponsored) category. It is important to note that while we may track performance separately, we utilize many of the same coverage criteria in determining coverage of all stocks in both research formats. Research reports on profiled stocks in the Opportunity Research format typically have a higher risk profile, and may offer greater upside. Our analysts are responsible only to the public, and are paid in advance to eliminate pecuniary interests, retain editorial control, and ensure independence. Analysts are compensated on a per report basis and not on the basis of his/her recommendations.
