Dana Corp Reports October Net Income Of $18M 4:20 PM ET - Dow Jones News DOW JONES NEWSWIRES Auto-parts supplier Dana Corp. (DCNAQ), which has been in bankruptcy proceedings for more than a year and a half, on Friday reported net income of $18 million for October. The Toledo, Ohio, company had net sales of $799 million for the month, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Dana filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors in March 2006, one of several U.S. auto-parts companies in reorganization. This week Dana secured $2 billion to finance its planned exit from bankruptcy in early 2008, pending court approval.

Got this news off my scottrade news alert. If this news is correct, this is definitely HUGE for a company that is currently worth $8.5 Million. Next coming weeks should be interesting on this.

bold my emphasis
quote: "While Dana Corporation (Dana) continues its reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code), investments in Dana securities are highly speculative. Although shares of Dana common stock continue to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “DCNAQ,” the opportunity for any recovery by shareholders under a confirmed plan of reorganization is uncertain. If the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Debtors and Debtors in Possession (the Plan) filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court) on October 23, 2007, is ultimately confirmed, Dana common shares will be cancelled and shareholders with allowed interests will be entitled to a pro rata share of the assets, if any, that remain in a reserve established for disputed unsecured claims after the holders of allowed unsecured claims have been paid in full, with interest. There is no assurance that the Plan will be confirmed or, if it is, that there will be any residual assets left for the benefit of current holders of Dana common shares. In fact, the Debtors do not currently anticipate that the holders of Dana common shares will receive any distribution under the Plan."
not saying don't play this...if enough peeps buy in not realizing, might go biggely...but unless sumpin's changed, realize the commons are prolly gonna be canceled...

Hey Tex you could be right and I will read more into the terms of the financing, but I am thinking with this much revenue and the profit they can afford to buy back the shares of the company at this cheapies. I just noticed the huge volume at 30mins to close of trading and there the $18 million net income news after close of market today. I will like to believe something is up and it seems good.

lottsa times in these Qs, the commons get canceled... gotta play the momo, in n out...
when the MMs start a jiggly run, they expect peeps to dogpile--they're just clearing their books...

Tex is 100% correctamundo. This will go to 0. I followed KLUCQ before it changed over to KALU. Here's my play.... play this for what it is - a quick trade. Then when the new symbol is tradable take a small safe position with a stop loss set... imo things should shape up pretty well. Will it do as well as KALU did when it recovered? Who knows. Your DD - your guess. Kaiser had a lot going for it all the way through their process, you could review their filings and charts to see if dcnaq even has a chance to do as well. Might be worth looking into.
The Dog's disclaimer: Do not trust my input, all things in this arena should be dealt with due diligence, this is not a buy/sell recommendation. Simply an opinion of one sharing with another.

Fitch Rates Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority (Ohio) Bond Fund Revs 'BBB '; Negative Watch 13 minutes ago - BusinessWire
Fitch Ratings assigns 'BBB+' ratings to the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority, OH (the authority) Northwest Ohio Bond Fund (the bond fund), $3,750,000 development revenue bonds, series 2007B (Toledo School for the Arts Project) and $3,300,000 development revenue bonds, series 2007C (Midwest Terminals Project). Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. will offer the series 2007B and 2007C bonds during the week of Dec. 10. The ratings on the bonds, as well as the 'BBB+' ratings on the bond fund's $85.8 million outstanding development revenue bonds, remain on Rating Watch Negative, reflecting the ongoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy status of the pool's third largest borrower, Dana Corp.
The bond fund bonds issued on behalf of Dana Corp., which account for 6.9% of the portfolio ($6.4 million), are secured by lease payments that are backed by a first mortgage lien and first security interest on Dana's research and development facility and equipment (the project), located in Lucas County. To date, Dana Corp has remained current on its monthly lease payments. On Sept. 5, 2007, the bankruptcy court approved a proposed settlement agreement between Dana and the authority, in which the authority has agreed to a secured claim against the project and Dana has agreed to continue to make lease payments that are sufficient to pay the debt service on the related series 2002B bonds issued by the authority.
The authority established the bond fund in 1988 to advance economic development efforts in the region. After the issuance of the 2007B & 2007C bonds, the bond fund will have 28 participants, with outstanding bonds totaling $92.8 million. The authority remains the program's largest obligor representing 10.9% of the total portfolio.
In addition to lease or loan payments by the pool participants, all of the bond fund bonds are equally and ratably secured by funds held in reserves, which equal $29.4 million or 32% of the principal of all outstanding bonds. The bond fund reserves comprise: primary reserves funded by each borrower equal to approximately 10% of bond principal; program reserves, which include a $6.5 million cash contribution from the authority and a $10 million irrevocable letter of credit from Fifth Third Bank that expires Nov. 15, 2016, subject to extension; and additional reserves specific to certain series of bonds. Shortfalls in bond payments due to loan or lease defaults must be made up first from the defaulting borrowers' primary reserves, then from program reserves, and finally from any remaining primary reserves.
The 2007B bond proceeds will be loaned to the Toledo School for the Arts to refinance outstanding mortgages and to make capital improvements on an existing facility. The 2007B bonds are primarily secured by loan payments and a first mortgage and security interest on the building and improvements. The 2007C bond proceeds will be loaned to Midwest Terminals of Toledo International Inc. to pay a portion of the costs to acquire, construct and improve a 75,000 square foot warehouse facility to be used in stevedoring operations of the company. The 2007C bonds are primarily secured by lease payments and a first mortgage and security interest on the warehouse facility and improvements. Both the 2007B and 2007C bond issues are further secured by the primary and program reserves mentioned above.

Thanks Green. Thats a good part of it. The bonds look like they are good to go when they get out of Ch-11.

Do you agree with me about the symbol change and this dcnaq going to 0? Yes this could make for a carefully planned flip but the real money is secured under their restructure financing. This wouldn't be in pennyland with 2b bucks kickin it in the arse imo lol.
Posted by Green_effect on :
The company has extra liquidity to buy back all outstanding shares of current now(at least this will be the only responsible thing to do) If however they cancel the currently traded shares and start a new one....the bulls are still going to make a bargain momo play before this happens. JMO
Posted by BooDog on :
These Q's can be real tricky imo. And your stock in today's Dana may not transfer to the stock of tomorrows Dana when it happens. People should read the filings imo. Good luck on the flips until then.
Posted by metal1 on :
no, the company is not going to buy back any shares. These q's happen over and over again and people still don't seem to understand how it works. they are great for flipping but the shareholders almost never get anything in the reorgs. Green, you should do a little more research on bankrupty so you understand how it works. happy flipping until then. i think they said the exit will come by the end of Jan.
Posted by Green_effect on :
Thanks metal, I will believe most people on here are either Day trading or swing traders, and I wont advise anyone to go long on this. At least play the momo before end of Jan. I got in at .05 and looking for a quick 100% flip. JMHO

The only reason I kept posting was to make sure people know this will go to 0. Many people scan this site that do not post and do not research. It may have a run or it may not. And by the looks of it you may have until the end of Jan. I STILL THINK following this for the rebirth will be worth looking into.

Hey Dog,do you think that they may be on the block for a buyout by Eaton?

BOSTON, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Car and truck parts maker Dana Corp (DCNAQ.PK: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Thursday that it expects current Chairman and Chief Executive Mike Burns to continue to serve as CEO after it emerges from bankruptcy proceedings, but another person would hold the chairmanship.
The company also named the nine directors it expects to hold board seats after emergence. Burns is among them.
Two of the eight non-executive directors are affiliated with Centerbridge Capital Partners, a private equity firm that has agreed to make a $750 million investment in Dana.
They are Mark Gallogly, a managing partner at Centerbridge, and Stephen Girsky, president of Centerbridge Industrial Partners LLC.
Toledo, Ohio-based Dana filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code in March 2006. (Reporting by Scott Malone, editing by Gerald E. McCormick and Dave Zimmerman)

Don't see it hapinin. This isn't Dana Corp anymore imo. This is the last of the shareholders and MM stockpiles, the last of the denials hangin on by the skin of their teeth. One swig of listerine and their washed out. Everytime you buy you are helping one of the great MMs unload. In my opinion of course.

Posted by metal1 on :
well, that's the end of the road for dcnaq. company emerged from bankruptcy today with the old common canceled and equity holders getting nothing. new symbol is DAN. I think we should add this thread to the reference section to show people how the last couple of months of bankruptcies usually end up working out.

So, anyone who bought, let's say 100,000 shares of this when it was DCNAQ, today got absolutely nothing? Pretty much worthless pieces of paper?
People who had shares purchased at .004 couldn't sell them today for 12.00?

Correct.
