By contrast, at the beginning of December, it was struggling to stay above $0.015. With that in mind, SeeThruEquity&#8217;s decision to put a price target of $0.13 per share on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=MDNT\">MDNT<\/a> three weeks ago seemed a bit strange. <\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the optimism managed to boost the stock&#8217;s value. Several sessions of heavy buying dug the ticker out of the sub-penny levels and pushed it as high as $0.03 on March 28. A correction seemed inevitable, but what we have seen over the last ten days can&#8217;t really be classified as a correction.<\/p>\n<p>A &#8220;nosedive&#8221; would probably be a better description. Out of the seven sessions since the beginning of April, only two ended in the green. Yesterday&#8217;s closing bell rang when <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=MDNT\">MDNT<\/a> was sitting at $0.014 which, as you might have calculated already, means that it has lost around 53% of its value in less than two weeks. That&#8217;s a scary drop, but what is the reason for it? <\/p>\n<p>It would appear that investors aren&#8217;t really happy about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=MDNT\">MDNT<\/a>&#8216;s 10-K which was published on March 31. Neither are, as a matter of fact, SeeThruEquity who, half an hour before today&#8217;s opening bell issued an updated version of their report which now sports a lower price target &#8211; $0.10 per share. Once again, it&#8217;s up to you to decide whether their predictions will be more accurate this time, but while you&#8217;re making up your mind, we might as well check out the 10-K and see what&#8217;s bothering investors so much. Here&#8217;s a summary of the most important figures as of December 31:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cash: $0<\/li>\n<li>current assets: $5.4 million<\/li>\n<li>current liabilities: $10.1 million<\/li>\n<li>yearly revenues: $2 million<\/li>\n<li>yearly net loss: $1.3 million<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Straight away, you can see that there&#8217;s been a 37% drop in revenues year-over-year which is disturbing enough on its own, but the net loss makes things even more bleak. The losses incurred during 2013 are a whopping 1,000% higher than the ones logged in 2012.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=MDNT\">MDNT<\/a> have a very good explanation for this. They say that the revenues have decreased because most of their efforts were concentrated on the state-of-the-art Studioplex that they want to build in Georgia. The huge net loss is also explained with expenses on the construction of the massive facility.<\/p>\n<p>Truth be told, if the press releases are to be believed, they are working hard on getting the project going. In March, they appointed a contractor and, as they are too happy to mention in their reports, The Effingham County Industrial Development Authority has agreed to help them complete the Studioplex.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: left; margin: 3px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/7MDNT_logo.jpeg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"7MDNT_logo.jpeg\" title=\"7MDNT_logo.jpeg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>But while they&#8217;re keen on talking about the facility, they don&#8217;t seem that interested in disclosing  information about their share structure. This Schedule 14 form tells us that on February 13, there were a total of 140 million shares issued and outstanding. The annual report informs us that on March 31 (forty-six days later) the O\/S count stood at nearly 328 million. Unfortunately, the 10-K gives no information on how and why the stock was issued.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s quite clear that, if the Studioplex gets completed and if everything goes according to plan, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=MDNT\">MDNT<\/a> might turn into an extremely interesting OTC company. Until then, however, there are plenty of risks associated with a potential investment and considering them carefully is absolutely essential.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in October, Medient Studios Inc (OTCMKTS:MDNT) was sitting comfortably above the $0.10 per share mark.
