As noted above, MCOA management just announced that the company has completed an investment of $250,000 into MoneyTrac Technology, Inc. because they see MTT as a possible alternative banking solution for the cannabis industry.
The reader may already be aware, many of the transactions that define the cannabis industry are complicated by variations in state, regional, and international differences in ordinances and laws pertaining to cannabis, as well as numerous and unique logistical issues native to the cannabis industry. Hence, the theory goes, someone is going to occupy the “winner takes all” circle in the pursuit of a solution to these problems. MCOA is betting that it just might be MTT.
As part of the terms of the investment, Donald Steinberg, CEO and President of MCOA, was appointed to the board of MTT this year where he is lending the invaluable experience he has acquired throughout his career in building alternative financial solution companies to the MTT executive management team.
“We are excited to help guide MTT through its developmental stages and are optimistic about the potential of MCOA’s investment into this new project. This is another example of MCOA’s strong strategic partnerships with emerging companies in our industry,” Donald Steinberg said.
Recent action has seen 71% tacked on to share pricing for the stock in the past month, a rally that has pushed up against longer standing distributive pressure in the stock. That said, MCOA has evidenced sudden upward volatility on many prior occasions. Furthermore, the name has seen interest climb, with an increase in recent trading volume of 42% beyond its prior sustained average level.
At this time, carrying a capital value in the market of $69.4M, MCOA has virtually no cash on the books, which must be weighed relative to virtually no total current liabilities. MCOA is pulling in trailing 12-month revenues of $15K. However, the company is seeing recent declines on the top line on a sequential quarterly basis, with revenues falling at -32.5% as of its latest reporting period. As more color becomes clear on the name, we will review the situation and update our take.
