It will be nice to see level 2 full of markets makers after they file the financials ...The expert market needs to be re-evaluated by the OTC because it looks like everyone takes their bat and ball goes home when the so called expert market is on the playing field . They just created it in 2021 .

I'm trying everyday to buy and it's still locked out. Hopefully I can catch CRTG on the return to open market and pick up a huge bargain. Even if I don't get a bargain I'm happy with my current holdings. Either way I see CRTG as a long hold.

There is only one Market maker as i can tell... GTSX ...bid .0004 ask .0083 10,000 by 10,000..and they wont exucute trades for retail investors ...Its also to time consuming for a brokers to mess with the Expert market as they have to try to locate another unsolicited buyer / seller to execute a trade on the Expert Market and the trades may be very few and smaller orders and on top of that having to try to find another unsolicited buyer / seller to match them up on a trade is not worth the time spent to execute trades on the Expert market i have been told therfore no one wants to trade or be a MM on the EM. I learned that some companies may drop from 20 cents to .0004 on the first day on the Expert market due to a lack of market makers and lack of bid/asks on the EXMarket. Hopefully we get our 10Q out and we will get back to normal trading.

OTC overview of the Expert market rules At about the 5:10 point of the video he did say an investor could go to his or her beroker and do an unsolicited quote where you can go to your broker and said id like to BUT or Sell at a certain price and that quote can still be represented . Problem is brokers arnt allowing it as all of us have tried to do just what he said you would be allowed to do in this video at the 5 min mark . Brokerages obviously can opt out of placing trades on the expert market

Retail investors can sell but if they do how would they choose a price to sell at ? By guessing . Since we cant see the bid/ask prices i guess you could call your broker and ask to see if they have a curret bid so you could out in sell order. As i have read retail investors can sell you just cant buy but some brokerages may not you sell pr their rules but the OTC Expert market rules for sell orders from retail investors in case they did want to sell but again not all brokers may allow it .

I would just say that if things are not going well, not filing quarterly's lets them not talk about it. How much more time would you give them before concluding things are not right? Perhaps they should spend some of the proceeds from the preferred D shares sale for additional accountants.

For all intents and purposes this is no longer a publicly trading stock. It won't be until it's caught up with it's financials. 97% of it's market cap was lost in a tiny market sale where clearly the MM's were taking advantage of the seller.

I really don't know if a call to Fidelity would permit me to buy, or not. I only checked to see what would happen on-line. Until such purchases are normal in that matter the MM's can keep playing their games. If you're permitted to buy with a limit order, you may get your price. If you put in a market order you may find you just paid $1 a share, and all our portfolios would show a huge gain, if that were the last trade of the day. It's all meaningless until the stock is freely trading, which means that financials must be filled.

Also, the longer they remain SEC noncompliant, the lower their average yearly trading volume will become. They need over a million in average trading volume for the past 12 months to enter NASDAQ.

I agree with you that in the third quarter of 10Q, the only thing that needs to be included is what happened before the end of September. I would consider it illegal to include any financial events, such as earnings, that happened afterward.
The longer this takes, the more I believe they like the cover afforded by having gone dark.
Staying in the dark/SEC non-compliant world hurt their ambitious goals. I am sure they want to become compliant ASAP.
On top of that, the market cap collapsed on Friday. Market Cap $332,230 01/24/2025.

Two different series D Shares buys on Dec 17th and Jan 9th for about 14 million total. Something good is happening. Expert Market was anticipated as Coretec said filing would be late . I've been anticipating this for some time and have been waiting for it ..next step the filing comes out, and at some point trading resumes..watch the open on that morning.

Converting and auditing financials can take several months to over a year.
They started this process when Coretec and Core Optics entered into a Share Exchange Agreement on Mars 1, 2024.

Converting from South Korean accounting standards (K-IFRS or Korean GAAP) to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) can be quite complex. Here are some key points to consider:

Complexity
1. Differences in Principles: K-IFRS and US GAAP have different underlying principles and rules. For example, K-IFRS is more principle-based, while US GAAP is more rule-based.
2. Valuation Methods: There are differences in how certain items are valued, such as inventory, property, plant and equipment, and financial instruments.
3. Disclosure Requirements: US GAAP often requires more extensive disclosures compared to K-IFRS.
4. Tax Implications: Changes in accounting methods can have tax implications that need to be carefully managed.

Time Required
The time required to complete the conversion can vary significantly based on the size and complexity of the company's financials, but it generally takes several months to over a year. Here are some factors that influence the timeline:
1. Initial Assessment: Understanding the differences and planning the conversion process.
2. Data Collection and Analysis: Gather historical financial data and analyze it under the new standards.
3. Implementation: Adjusting accounting systems, processes, and policies to align with US GAAP.
4. Training and Communication: Ensuring that staff are trained on the new standards and that stakeholders are informed.
5. Audit and Review: Having the new financial statements audited and reviewed by external auditors.

The 10Q we are waiting on is for the third quarter ended last September. Nobody had heard of Kib Energy at that time, and those dealings would be reported in the annual report for the fourth quarter ended last month. The annual report normally would be out in the middle of March, but this isn't normal. The longer this takes, the more I believe they like the cover afforded by having gone dark.

They were all essentially at the same time, probably a market sell order.  This shows what happens when market orders are used when there are trading restrictions.   The MM's are stealing the stock.

Try to buy at anywhere near the price. 

Hopefully they'll file financials soon and normal trading will resume.

From 8-K Nov 14, 2024, Schedule I
Risk Factors
“To maintain our “current” reporting status with the SEC, we are required to file our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, within the SEC’s prescribed timeline. However, due to complexities arising from the recent share exchange, as well as delays in preparing and consolidating prior annual and quarterly financial statements, there is a risk that we may be unable to file this quarterly report on time or be able to regain compliance.”

This statement (“as well as delays in preparing and consolidating prior annual and quarterly financial statements.”) tells me they are consolidating the prior year’s annual and quarterly financial statements from Core Optics Co., Ltd., a Republic of Korea corporation, with Coretec.

Preparing and consolidating prior annual and quarterly financial statements for two different counting systems, one of which is South Korean, takes time. Also needs to be audited.

This is another lawsuit that KIB Plug Energy's new management filed on January 8, 2025, against the old management for embezzlement.
I don't think any of those lawsuits will delay Coretec from acquiring more shares in KIB Plug Energy.
