Toast ! Once ADM (the deep pocketed victim) came to their senses and backed out of the joint venture, MBLX is doomed to wither and die. Replacing plastics, conventionally made from nat gas (which by the way is getting cheaper and cheaper), with human/animal food based material just doesn't have a value proposition any longer.

This is a terrible business! There is no way this company is worth anything close to 120 million, as its market cap suggests.

Since the company went public almost 10 years ago it has never even been able to earn over 5 million in revenue. Additionally, the company has been losing an increasing amount of cash every year. I just don't see anything about this company that would make it a worthy investment at any price.
