Still monitoring Bob here's the filing
https://www.otcmarkets.com/filing/html?id=17554346&guid=StQ-kqRAI_jSJth
Tsk tsk another fall guy taints the landscape
What will it take to get this running I wonder.
Looks like they’ll need new auditors. They currently use BF Borgers.

I thought they were also due to return to that webcast promo they were in last time. The one that made Peter sound like he was in a fish tank? Heck as long as he makes sense and updates transparently I don't care where, it's the content of the update that counts. Thanks for letting me know ✔️
Next emerging growth conference is May 8th/9th. Not sure if they are presenting. Will keep a lookout tho
Hey maybe someone knows a little birdy Bob.
You're absolutely right 12,800 shares traded is a relative Bonanza! While we're waiting for the paint to dry. Take a squint at AFFU, quite possibly a real fire cracker in 2-3 weeks.
Be nice if XESP has a nice new client to bring aboard. That would really set the cat amongst the pigeons share price wise. This is so thinly traded hard to believe it's a bonafide, genuine AI stock at times. With any luck the CEO's trip will bare fruit soon.
Peter is on the road not in the air, meaning prospective client is more local than across the country. He sounded more focused on more small companies than any big juicy mega contracts. 3 man operation essentially so a mega contract might be out of their scope just yet. Walk before you can run kind of thing. I'm fine with that!
Volume picked up a bit today. Wonder if we’ll get any info soon
Short volume EXPLODED last week of March
That was right before the 10-K. You have to scroll down a stretch to see the recorded data. Watch this space during market hours for any real time short interest. Only place I know of that's accurate.

I had my appointment for my audiologist booked at that stage. But good to know thanks Bob. They certainly annihilated it expertly. I was far from patient by the end, I was more ready to pick up the phone and read him his fortune.
I just went back to the last presentation in which he ended by telling the interviewer “talk to you in 90 days”
Just hit me, this might be a priority crunch.
If Peter doesn't get that 10Q out first. He may find himself in hot water if he starts announcing a bunch of new contracts without last year's business completely reported. 🤔
Oh ok nice work Bob, interesting thank you.
There wasn't any mention from the accountant of rescheduling mentioned. He alluded to "redoing" February's but entirely possible for May given the last one. Perhaps he was dropping a hint not sure. If I hear from Peter I'll ask that question for sure. Wish the Dickens he'd call though. I also have some tasty contracts he'd be interested in .
Looks like Peter presented at the Emerging Growth Conference in early November 2023 and February 2024. So hopefully he’s back in the beginning of May 2024 (with better audio)
One quirky explosive enigma, 1000 shares kaboom
Imagine if new contracts news hit Lordy boys might be looking at paper instead of silver. No telling what this stock might do. I felt sure they filed or PRed. Nope some dude dropping $200 for grand sum of 1000 shares.
Well if nothing else looks like we established the bottom. C'mon XESP you know something, are you going to tell us?
He's on the road for a reason
My hunch is he is having meetings for those two prospective clients.
All great stuff. Thanks for the info! Will patiently wait for the next filing.
Peter is on the road, spoke with Denny
Very cordial guy the head of accounting. Peter will be giving me a call when he gets time. Know what that's like! Any-who the webinar was supposed to of been redone 2 weeks later. So we could understand what Peter was saying! That has somehow fallen by the wayside and Denny is going to remind Peter that, that needs to be redone.
A very worthwhile call, in other news. There is a 10-Q coming out and I've asked for a PR from Peter about what the company is doing and where they're going after the 10-Q release. (I was getting my 10-K and 10-Q mixed up) Of course Denny couldn't tell me the exact date of the 10-Q that's not cool. But we can assume that's it's fairly soon and not far off.
Very glad I called, looking forward to chewing the fat with Peter Hager. I really don't think these guys understand how fast a pink can run when the company keeps the shareholders availed of what's going on. 🤔
Nb with Peter Hager, directly & indirectly held common stock.
I think he got 6,400,000 shares directly to himself and the same again to his holding company. Assumption here... That's because if he gets bought out there are two pockets to pick from if you catch my drift...
Correction slightly over 54 million in float
The roughly 33 million I spoke of is all insider's common stock. From there each individual has different options. Some options are more common stock while some others are preferred stock. All standard procedure really except for one glaring omission.
Normal indeed expected after a 10Q, that the company posts a Press Release to shareholders after a year end earnings report. Telling shareholders what's going on and what's in the pipeline. It won't be to the letter never can be. Things change too often to be taken for gosple. But a heads up PR after a 10-Q is common courtesy. We are getting jipped in that regard.
I should imagine it's more complicated
They're still waiting for some progress on it. I'm being vague for a reason...
Based on his last presentation, I believe you are correct. At least 1-2 more contracts with a higher average price than $60k (the 2003 total revenue) each. The only other thing I noticed…I didn’t see any mention of A.I. (although I didn’t read the whole filing). Perhaps the “engine” isn’t really artificial intelligence?
Are all those share restricted?
If they only post 1or2 contracts in Q1
That'd be one heck of a lot more positive than 2023. Now if they were to land a big fish. That would almost certainly induce insiders to buy more shares. We'd see a lasting boost in intrinsic value, not just puff & fluff. That run to half a buck was short lived. Profit taking the this relentless bid hacking took us further south than anticipated. Time will tell...
I hunch Hager has some tricks up his sleeve yet. 👍
Thanks for the heads up on the filing!
The biggest thing leaping off the pages and pages I just read was that the executive and the Consultants own 33 million of the 51 million shares available. Also Greg Shockey while not in the executive is a consultant and owns almost 9 million shares. Keep in mind too, that the Executive and Consultants have considerable options to buy more shares. This must be a huge relief to get this filing done.
So the next order of business is, has Peter Hager secured more customers. He has two and I believe he was mentioning in that webinar he was looking to secure three more within Q2.
* posted yesterday
Yeah seams like a dud. Would like to see what (if anything) they say about Q1 revenue.
Just to clarify, I was basing the timing on SEC deadlines and their past quarterly reporting trends.
10K posted today. But not much I can garner from Q4 of last year.
Someone OHH so patiently, hatcheted S/P @51¢.
Now obviously with a clear purpose but what purpose. Man where to begin. Shorty, Hostile Takeover, R/S, Greedy Whale, several more theories I'm sure.
Company needs to make money. With an ever dwindling market cap that's near on impossible. Company setting a reputation for fashionably late filings, precious little if any communication with investors. The one thing I'm reasonably certain of is. This person or entity has been very patient and methodical. Bidwhacking daily ever since that run to 51¢. Yet not once were they ever greedy that I could see.
So clearly a well thought out plan has been afoot all along...
Well Bob 2 weeks since your source's tip
What do you think about the validity of that source now? Possible, Plausible or Probable? Your source did mention within* two weeks. Heard any murmurings, further?

Nearly HALF of B. H. IS IN AI
He's in to AI up to his eyeballs ✔️🤭

Interestingly enough, I didn’t see the words “AI” or “artificial intelligence” anywhere on the website.
(Although I didn’t look at every single bit of content)
Warren likes his AI, very trendy for him

Greg looks to be Pete's right hand man
I'm time challenged but pretty certain this is his go to director. He works for XESP obviously but there's another employee I haven't sussed out yet.
https://x.com/shocrates?t=zmqyEmyEv5y_qNYb6-F-tw&s=09
Good find and makes sense they keep this one updated. Which employee peaked ur interest? Wonder what they all do
Apparently Pete has two other employees
At least that's what was listed. This is a fairly informative Linked In page. Hunch Linked In has to remain open for XESP as B2B is there primary business plan. Worth a squint...I'm following up on one employee in particular. Can't even spell his name yet will get back with more info.

Hope he lands a big fish
A meaty contract could really make this girl dance. I'm just learning about AI but what I've picked up so far is life altering and astonishing really. Makes your day so much more manageable. If they wanted to punish a criminal. Take away his AI he'd be lost without it. Truly revolutionary time management improvements. You know what they say Time is Money!
Good stuff! Hope he takes your advice!
I asked him to be more engaging & informative.
Only reasonable, we were literally thrown under the bus first time around. He should be more polished now he's had the chance to work with more prospective companies. Also asked him for an investor Q& A web session. Anything's an improvement. I get this is a new company, he's getting his bearings & all. But he can make a better effort keeping investors in the loop that's for darn sure.
Well well WELL, of course the parallel universe

He's alive...
6. Investment in AI startups will remain hot.
Investors poured money into AI startups last year, bucking a broader slowdown in the tech industry. Global venture-capital investment in GenAI startups totaled $23.2 billion from January through mid-October 2023, up about 250% from 2022’s full-year total, according to PitchBook.
The gold rush into AI startups is poised to continue this year. The reason boils down to the fact that investors will invest in innovation, and AI is set to become an even stronger and more versatile tool.

He might be extremely busy & equally honest
Fact is he seriously lacks transparency. The average daily volume of 7, 065 shares bares witness to the fact outsiders are skeptical.
AI... if you're not using it your business is going to suffer. I remain optimistic but the Nerve Center needs to be more open with it's investors. If not, they are understandably hesitant if not downright nervous. This filing should put more eyes on the prize.
The average stick factor for web pages is a whopping 8 seconds. I hope he's considering an online prospectus or something that explains the company better, holding investor's attention. That would help his reputation on the pinks no end. Even an Investor's Zoom Q&A if easier because he's likely pretty busy...
Hopefully he’s spending his time making deals. All the info I have I pulled from his last presentation. Had to listen twice and take screenshots of his slides since the audio was so garbled
