Unlike many other biotech companies that trade on the OTC, Marina Biotech was a Nasdaq listed company up until February, 2012 when they simply couldn’t meet the requirements necessary to stay up on the big boards. It wasn’t until last week when the 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the 10-Q’s for the periods ending March 31, 2013, June 30 2013, and September 30, 2013 which allowed for investors to see that $2.115 million in revenues was recorded for the year, about half of what they were for the year prior, but what really popped out was how operating costs decreased by almost $10 million from $12.1 million during 2012 to just $2.48 million during 2013.
However, this year has been a very quiet one thus far while the Company focuses thier efforts and resources on the discovery and development of their own pipeline of nucleic acid-based compounds in order to commercialize drug therapies to treat orphan diseases. No revenues had been booked through the first 6 months of 2014 and, in an effort to clear of some of the burdensome debt, Marina Biotech, on February 24, 2014, allowed for certain debt holders to cash in their secured promissory notes, approximately $1.5 million worth, for 2 million shares of MRNA stock; a per share basis of $0.75.
While, in today’s PR issued prior to the open, J. Michael French, president & CEO of Marina Biotech, admits that its been a rough couple of years, he believes that the company can turn things around and be able to provide some shareholder value with their new developments working with nucleic acids. Seeing as how the jump in share price and trading activity has launched MRNA into the top 10 traded OTC stocks thus far today, a big boost shall soon come when they are swapped over from the pink sheets and over the the OTCBB being that they are now back in compliance with the SEC in regards to updated filings.

Bottom Line:
It’s always great to see a comeback story and MRNA relaunching themselves back into the land of highly sought after real penny stocks has allowed for traders to make a quick buck so far today. With the share structure significantly smaller than most biotech companies listed on the OTC, a continuance to today’s surge for MRNA stock is a highly likely scenario as it should test the $1 before week’s end.
