(OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=CABN\">CABN<\/a>) soared 125% up in yesterday&#8217;s session. The ticker dug itself out of the middle of double zeroes land and closed at $0.013. Intra-day volatility was massive, with the price spiking as high as $0.023 in the morning hours, then cooling back down.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=CABN\">CABN<\/a> management seems to have been too excited to sleep, publishing the PR in question around 3 AM in the morning. The company announced that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=CABN\">CABN<\/a>-funded project conducted at the University of California, Santa Barbara (USCB) to produce high quality graphene has &ldquo;successfully demonstrated&rdquo; a low-cost version of the chemical vapor disposition (CVD) production process &ndash; the industry&#8217;s most popular method of producing graphene monolayers.<\/p>\n<p>The PR further states that a new CVD system has been developed, using unique &ldquo;processes, catalysts and techniques&rdquo;. The joint project with USCB originated in mid-2014. Prior to that, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=CABN\">CABN<\/a> was focused on converting natural gas into liquid fuel. The company entered a sponsored research agreement with the university, under which <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=CABN\">CABN<\/a> will pay $387 thousand.<\/p>\n<p>The company&#8217;s latest financial report is an annual for 2014 and contains the following:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>$15 thousand in cash<\/li>\n<li>$10.6 million in current liabilities<\/li>\n<li>ZERO revenues since inception<\/li>\n<li>$7.7 million in annual net loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The company states that it has &ldquo;no real operating history&rdquo;, which investors can use to evaluate <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=CABN\">CABN<\/a>&#8216;s future possibilities. There is also the matter with the company&#8217;s shares. In December 2012 there were 11.5 million common shares outstanding. That figure ballooned to 72.1 million shares by December 2013. This unchecked dilution continued in 2014. By December 2014 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=CABN\">CABN<\/a> was sitting on 241.1 million outstanding common shares. Considering the company&#8217;s severe shortage of cash, it&#8217;s difficult to imagine how this dilutive streak will be cut short in the current year.<\/p>\n<p>Traders may also want to keep in mind <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=CABN\">CABN<\/a>&#8216;s intra-day movement and the fact that the stock closed about 40% below its intra-day high yesterday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driven by a very optimistic press release pushed out in the small hours on Monday, Carbon Sciences, Inc.
