As on January 20th, the stock is trading at 37 cents per share with 2.7 Million shares outstanding (effective market value - about $1 Million USD). In the past year, the stock price fell over 90% from nearly $5 per share.

On January 21st, ICOP filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy [link no longer available].

Two immediate questions are:

  • What should customers do for support?
  • What do you do if you want to buy ICOP / get its customer base?

We spoke with Investor Relations. They said to use the following email address: investorinfo@icop.com. This email is still active and being checked by ICOP executives. We have sent an email to this address and will share feedback if and when provided. We also called 3 phone numbers listed on ICOPs sites but all of them went to full voice mailboxes.

According to the filing, ICOP's bankruptcy attorney is Joanne B. Stutz of Evans Mullinix [link no longer available], (913) 962-8700, Email: jbs@evans-mullinix.com
