Hi Michael,

Thanks for your timely weigh-in. You've just helped me solidify my plan of action for Tues. morning. I'm learning as I go here and one of the most valuable things I've learned today is to follow your posts! Thanks again .

Sell?

This is the one you should scoop up on every dip.  Raising money is part of doing business and this company is in its infancy.

There is no company like it.  They make food from waste - compare it to buying McDonald's at $3.35 a share.

Don't be penny wise about this company - it is very likely to see $5 soon!  And this is the type of company that magazines love to write about - look at XNL, the company that made ethanol from garbage - it had a great run b4 they found out they will likely never make money - but the story was great.

This is a real product - the rice bran is used regularly in pet foods.  That is their biggest market for now.  And I am sure what Americans feed their pets could be nutricious, gourmet dining in some 3rd world countries.

Buy 1000 shares - if it drops 20%, never listen to the Snowster again.  But look at the numbers (at the beginning of this thread) and you will see the potential in this company!

And while you are at it, take another look at BRVO!

I don't know Snowster, I thought this thing would tank out after that milquetoast announcement about simply raising one plant to level 2 and having done that significant dilution. There seems to be a lot of green love (European and North American) for this stock...Hey feed the world and make money too!... I bought 10k shares at 2.75 and sold them yesterday (next trading day) at 3.09... The dilution just didn't sit right with me...Now shares are up to what 3.38? I don't get it. Especially since all of the institutional selling for the last 2 days:

I don't know Snowcat...you probably have a few things to teach me...

The real institutions, the mutual funds, will not touch this stock until it is $15.  It will get some attention when it is $5.

But who knows - it could be the next BRVO - pulling everyone in with visions of grandeur and then collapsing.

My next rumor is that Coke is going to buy the company and promise to market Rice Bran Cola! (a little BRVO joke there).

Actually the company is very attractive - and I would not be surprised if an ADM or Bunge has its sites on it.  Rice bran is very nutricional and it is likely could replace more expensive ingredience.

Look at the original 3 stocks analysis and the recent Blog analysis - and then compare it with your own numbers and speculation.

And once you see the constructive  value of this stock, look at the destructive value of my other favorite cheapie, MTSX - an electric pulse gun that can fire 1million bullets a minute (hey, now that rice husk is valuable, they have to fight over it)

awesome results:

NutraCea Announces Record Fourth Quarter and Record Fiscal Year 2006 Financial Results
Monday April 2, 5:00 am ET

- Company Reports Net Earnings of $778,000 for the 4th Quarter and Record Net Earnings of $1,585,000 for Fiscal 2006 -

EL DORADO HILLS, Calif., April 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NutraCea (OTC Bulletin Board: NTRZ - News), a world leader in stabilized rice bran research and technology, announced today another record quarter and record profits for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of record results.

Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2006 were $5,196,000, compared to total revenues of $4,504,000 for the fourth quarter of 2005. The improved revenues and financial performance on a quarterly comparative basis have primarily resulted from the continued strength of the direct-to-consumer marketing of its nutraceutical products through the quarter ended December 31, 2006. The Company continued to experience growth from its expanded product lines and increased demand of its value-added ingredients for the functional food industry and animal markets.

Total revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 were $18,090,000, compared to total revenues of $5,564,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of over 225%. The significant improvement in revenues and financial performance for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 is the result of the culmination of the merger with RiceX, direct marketing of its expanding line of products and sales of its core products into the functional food industry and animal markets and continued growth in sales of nutraceutical products through its licensing program. (A Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheet are set forth below.)

NutraCea reported net income of $778,000 or $0.01 per share for the fourth quarter of 2006 based on weighted average shares outstanding of 76,696,000, compared to a net loss of $(161,000), or $(0.00) per share in 2005 based on 38,815,000 weighted average shares outstanding. NutraCea had a net income of $1,585,000 or $0.02 per share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 based on weighted average shares outstanding of 76,696,000 compared to a net loss of $(3,872,000), or $(0.10) per share in 2005 based on 38,615,000 weighted average shares outstanding.

Mr. Brad Edson, President and CEO of NutraCea commented, "We are pleased to report our fourth consecutive record quarter and a record year, notably our first full year of profitability. This significant turnaround within just the last 15 months is a major achievement for the Company.

"During the fourth quarter we accomplished many significant milestones, including the expansion of our production capacity in our Dillon, Montana facility, the signing of several new distribution agreements for our products, and the achievement of recognizing the second consecutive quarter of licensing revenue from our patented formulations. We believe there will be additional plant expansions, strategic agreements and licensing opportunities during 2007 and beyond. In the ensuing quarters, based on initiatives already underway, we continue to anticipate sustainable positive financial results," continued Mr. Edson.

Mr. Edson concluded, "We are diligently focusing on opportunities to extend our production capability within the United States, and to further reach into other parts of the world to duplicate our U.S. success elsewhere. Our bolstered balance sheet, now carrying more than $60 million in cash and no debt, will assist us in such expansion and positions us, perhaps for the first time in the Company's history, to be able to take advantage of more significant world wide opportunities that up until now have been unobtainable. We look forward to sharing these achievements with shareholders as they may arise."

NTRZ reported yet again a record quarter and full year results this morning resulting in a short term breakout on the bullish chart. This was NTRZ's first year of profitability reporting and eps of .02 compared to the expected .01 for fy 06 making a grounbreaking step into NTRZ's future growth and profitability. NTRZ had a reported 17m on the year or 225% increase from 2005. NTRZ is suspected to have a huge increase in earning for fy 2007 with eps of .10 compared to this years .02 and fy revenues of 43m compared to the 06 17m. So we still have a large amount of growth to consider for NTRZ into 2007 and years to come. NTRZ unfortunately has been subject to some dilution most notably the recent $50m common stock private placement of 20m shares. Though i think the dilution is over for NTRZ and they're in a great position for there future plans of global expansion as there balance sheet is looking healthy with $60m in cash and no-debt as well no insiders have been selling any of there shares from the recent purchases back when we first bought NTRZ near 1.50.

Comments from CEO about the results and future plans for expansion:

I think the growth here and room for expansion with NTRZ makes it worthy of a spot in the speculation chamber again.

Bought ntrz at 3.16

I'm finally back in @ 3.05

Great numbers and bright, bright future.

[setravis]

This stock is way cheap and will run hard for long time to come...
JMHO of course... NTRZ Is in my portfolio for the long term.
Excellent story and beautiful chart....
The ratios look good and with increased prices, will likely head this stock higher. 
The time is now for NutraCea. They can sell all that they produce, but they cannot yet produce all that they can sell. 2007 will be a growth year for production capacity, with a direct follow-through in revenue growth and capital resources development. Few other companies can back up a output/revenue model with high-gain achievable output projections like NTRZ. Now is not the time to sell, but, to hold, or build any position.

How much do you guys think that dilution will affect future EPS?

02 - 2.4 mil
03 - 11.8
04 - 36.7
05 - 67.1
06 - 87.1

Also -
If they are selling all they can make, when will new facilities come on line and what is the anticipate ROI?

Given the apparent need for expansion, when is it likely that net margins will improve? 

If the stock were to have a PE of around 20, the company would need over 26 million in net profit ( compared to fy 06 of 1.6 mil) to warrant a $6 share price at the current  share count of 87.1 mil.
Does anyone really think they will accomplish this any time soon or is this a momentum play?

NTRZ may be following the blue trendline.

[snowcat]

It does look like it is channel surfing.  I still think it is one of the best buys on the market right now and the word is still not out.  I thought the deal with ADM (which I predicted) would get more airplay.  The stock jumped 10%, but the articles in Newsweek did not pop up.

The deal with ADM is major credability (but I thought the BRVO/Coke deal was major too- BRVO now down to a nickel).  Maybe now that all the corn in the US is being used for ethanol, they need something to feed the cattle.  Or maybe rice husk can be made into fuel?

Either way, I would look to scoop up more on the next rebound.  I was last in at 3 and am holding tight for now.  It is a long term play.

[la-onda]

also a long term play for me 
nice chart rebound
