Mentor Capital Begins its 2012 Cancer Roll-up Strategy with $10 Million in Private Medical Company Acquisitions. Mentor Capital, Inc. (OTC Markets: MNTR) https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/mntr/quote reports it is starting 2012 with $9.7 Million in new cancer related acquisitions which were executed in the last 30 days of 2011. The year-end acquisitions fundamentally change the Mentor Capital www.mentorcapital.com balance sheet, according to Mentor CEO, Chester Billingsley. “Earlier, we found that the eleven already public cancer companies we invested into were reluctant to allow investment at favorable terms for amounts in excess of even $100,000. Just prior to the year-end acquisitions, the company held approximately $1.0 Million in financial and medical assets and had earned approximately $0.10 per share, subject to audit.” Mentor Capital has approximately 2.9 million basic shares outstanding and has traded in a quarterly range of $0.10 – $0.26/share.

The 2012 strategic shift to acquire 30% to 80% ownership in a number of private cancer companies is intended to allow Mentor Capital to more rapidly commit its $125 Million in authorized public market funding to the cancer fight. The average cancer acquisition is targeted at $5 to $20 million each. Mentor continues to have zero bank debt and funds its acquisitions by pledging the long-term proceeds of $125 Million in publicly held warrants to the private cancer companies. In this fashion, as up to $125 Million in cancer assets are acquired by Mentor, those portfolio cancer companies receive the benefit of public market financing while they themselves remain private as they develop.

It invests in shelf IPO?s and public and private companies and seeks to provide public market access to owners of small private companies.
