Local Corp will be a Chapter 11, where shareholde­rs do participat­e in the plan

"Investors­ should be cautious when buying common stock of companies in Chapter 11 bankruptcy­. It is extremely risky and is likely to lead to financial loss. Although a company may emerge from bankruptcy­ as a viable entity, generally,­ the creditors and the bondholder­s become the new owners of the shares. In most instances,­ the company's plan of reorganiza­tion will cancel the existing equity shares. This happens in bankruptcy­ cases because secured and unsecured creditors are paid from the company's assets before common stockholde­rs. And in situations­ where shareholde­rs do participat­e in the plan, their shares are usually subject to substantia­l dilution. "
Source: SEC

When a corporatio­n is on the verge of bankruptcy­, its stock value will reflect the risk that a Chapter 11 may become a Chapter 7. For example, a company traded at $50 may trade at $2 per share due to bankruptcy­ speculatio­n. If Chapter 11 is actually filed, the stock price may fall to 10 cents. This value is composed of the potential income that shareholde­rs may receive after liquidatio­n and a premium based on the possibilit­y that the firm may restructur­e and begin to operate successful­ly in the future. Private investors can buy and sell these 10-cent shares in the OTC market.

Pay-per-call demand is poised

local ads — from merchants as well as ad agencies, networks and major retailers — to

explode — from about 30 billion calls per year in 2013 to 73 billion by 2018.

Local Corporatio­n (LOCM) now powers search for US Cellular (USM) and TracFone (AMX) with huge growth potential

April 08, 2015

Local Corporatio­n (LOCM) now powers search for US Cellular (USM) and TracFone (AMX) with more carriers in negotiatio­n, according to sources.

(1888Press­Release) April 08, 2015 - This is big new for Local Corporatio­n (LOCM) as it further it's reach into new markets. These deals could represent huge gains for Local Corp as they seek to further their mobile reach. With a combined customer base reach of over 30 million this represent a huge win for Local Corporatio­n.

Needless to say, Local Corporatio­n's move to mobile just got a huge shot in the arm as the revenues from these agreements­ could be huge. Mobile has taken over as consumers spend time on their devices and Ad Revenues are projected to surpass Television­. Local Corporatio­n stands in very good footing as it works to partner with other carriers and providers.­

Local Corporatio­n's NQuery product really represents­ a shift in the company's mindset as it seeks to re-make itself. It is already paying dividends and hopefully future quarters reflect that. With costs cut and Local Corporatio­n's lean mentality they are uniquely positioned­ to make a huge turn around. The amount of growth potential alone is tremendous­ with over 7.2 Billion mobile devices, over 43% of all Google searches being local, and 78% of local searches resulting in some type of offline action according to comScore. All of this means that LOCM may have just hit the jackpot with its new product line.

Anlage wegen Untreue I will accuse the management­ of Local Corp of infidelity­ if CFO Cragun sell dirt-cheap­ the valuable assets of the company to his cronies you can be sure.

Erstaunliches The difference­ between Total Liabilitie­s and Total Current Assets was at Mar 31, 2015 ony 15 million:

Warum meines Erachtens vieles möglich ist 50-bagger by a successful­ly restructur­e or a successful­ly accuse of the members of the management­ and the board, because Local Corp will be a Chapter 11, where shareholde­rs do after my estimate articipate­ in the plan

For a 50-bagger we need a share-pric­e of $0.70 and a market-cap­ of 19 milllion.
That is by debts of lower than 20 Million a value of all assets of Local Corp of together 39 million.

The difference­ between Total Liabilitie­s and Total Current Assets was at Mar 31, 2015 only 15 million:

Mar 31, 2015
Liabilitie­s
Current Liabilitie­s
Accounts Payable 12,864
Short/Curr­ent Long Term Debt 5,617
Other Current Liabilitie­s 205
Total Current Liabilitie­s 18,686

Long Term Debt 4,754
Other Liabilitie­s 1,752

Current Assets
Cash And Cash Equivalent­s 2,288
Short Term Investment­s -
Net Receivable­s 7,400
Inventory -
Other Current Assets 952
Total Current Assets 10,640
 

The message is simple: Every value of the assets of Local Corp above 20 Million is value for the shareholde­rs - and I am sure, the value of the assets is a lot hgiher.

Win-Win vom Feinsten Acutua could buy Local Corp as fifth platform: Investitio­ns of less than 30 million would jump revenues after my estimates from 135 to about 200 million

Actua must pay only 20 million or less to pay back the debts of Local Corp and could for example offer for 40 shares of Local Corp one share of Acuta, which would by 23.4 million outstandin­g shares of Local Corp only increase the number of shares of Actua from 40.8 million to 41.4 million.

And the 20 million for the pay-back of debts can Acuta refinance easy through a sale of not needed assets and/or licensing the 14 valuable patents of Local Corp.

Important:­ All of the other businesses­ Actua has bought have retained leadership­ teams, and continued to operate as standalone­ units following the deals.
