4kids.....
Have you ever had a direct conversation with James D Brown-president of Expo Holdings regarding any of the following:
Share conversion ratio-Specifically-from preferred to common.
Wilkes Holdings LLC and the roughly $20k rent paid by D&D Displays.
The death of Todd Whitworth and if his untimely death caused the cancellation of a signed agreement between Window world and the ETC product line
three easy issues.
Direct = person to person..no go between.
LOL!! scam-jets. Priceless. These jets were more than likely obtained from well healed, lowes connected locals who have all given JD signed blank checks. These jets were used to fly in executives from the make believe 100 retail locations carrying ETC cabinets. Rumor has it the jets are also being used to promote JD's next bright idea....Franchising opportunities for those interested in investing in abandoned patent applications and abandoned trademarks as well as abandoned Hardware stores. Anticipated revenue??? easily in the hundreds of billions.
Wrong....the PCAOB disciplinary action came well after her ..*er* replacement.
FACT: JD needed someone to prepare an audit...Traci Anderson was *er*...recommended LOL.....she did her "thing" and was no longer needed because JD had NO INTENTION of providing additional audited financials for public consumption-this is backed up by the FACT that JD has not, except for Traci Anderson's audit, provided audited financials for public consumption ..get it?
Do you even know why Traci Anderson is PERMANTLY BARRED?
was it for a single instance? Or was it a result of a pattern?
YES.....again...:
I fully understand Who enables JD and WHY they enable JD. Make no mistake about that!
Now....your float # of 100 Million......*er*.. in Feb. 2009 JD issued..and signed off on PR's...the float was given...480+ Million... no link necessary...simply read the ibox....the PR is contained in the ibox. Common sense 101.
Simple research and talking to the right people will lead you to the FACT that Bongiovanni CO-Founded Gaurdian Registrar and Transfer..along with his step-son.
Simple research and talking to the right people will lead you to the FACT that Traci Anderson was introduced to JD by Bongiovanni...as well as Koran.
Simple research will show that Bongiovanni is/was behind A-Z Consulting and that as a matter of FACT the fee owed to A-Z Consulting was $150K.
Simple research along with the ability to read and comprehend a timeline will show EXACTLY when Wilkes Holdings LLC was
created and by whom it was created. When did JD sell the land and buildings? When did the rent go up?
You have stated repeatedly that Expo has survived economic conditions not seen since thr great depression with this in mind... were the actions taken below fiscally responsible..as in beneficial to anyone except JD BROWN.
1) Building and land sold. Rent before the sale: $5k p/month
Rent after sale: $20K p/month
2) JD and Glenn TOOK roughly $400K from the company registers and called it a loan. Was it fiscally responsible to do so given what YOU stated regarding the dire state of the economy ?
Did JD and Glenn's actions regarding the $400K in loans result in increased shareholder value? YES or NO...surely you are able to form an opinion on such a black and white issue...no need for tea leaves.
3) How many shares were diluted to raise $400K ?
On a side note: I fully understand why you have chosen Not to address any of the questions posed in the post you responded to.. after all: I FULLY UNDERSTAND WHO IS ENABLING JD AND WHY
"3-5 year investment timeframe"....are you SERIOUS?
a 3-5 year hold strategy in a scam company is akin to providing a signed blank check to someone running a nigerian lottery scam.
*channel checks*...hmmm...great question...I would think by now the distribution footprint would be...say...*er*...*90%* complete.
Yes Jeremiah...indeed yes...it's part of the TRUE PROCESS
Lets be clear.....I fully understand the efforts of those who ENABLE the likes of JD Brown and Glenn Harrs.
if and when you respond to this post..make it clear and address the actual questions...no need for trailing off into Market Maker land or shortsville
failing private companies are part of the R/M landscape.
A R/M allows the original investors/founders of a failing enterprise one more bite of the apple so to speak.
These companies share several traits. Among them: Enablers who explain away the companies dismal financial state taking the heat off the ceo...enablers who are gifted in the art of 'name dropping'......Transfer of debt from original founders/investors onto the backs of shareholders being told a story through PR's..the typical stories told through PR's include Bloated revenue projections, acquisitions which NEVER materialize, earth shattering new product on the way yet the product/idea never actually gets off the ground, expansion plans when in truth the company is actually shrinking...as in winding down..
does EXPO fit the description above? Yes or NO
what value does acquiring a twice failed cabinet company(Builders choice) offer shareholders?
Explain the Tax lien on file regarding Builders choice. TIA
Is it comforting to know that the 1 and only audited financial statement on file and available to shareholders and prospective shareholders was prepared by someone who is now barred per the PCAOB? Yes or No
Is it comforting to read: 'management has elected to omit virtually all cash flow disclosures'. ..this message accompanies all financials filed after the 1 and only audited set. Keep your answer to either a Yes or No. Do not bother with the electively reporting garbage....the question is: Comforting-Yes or No
Are you stating as fact that no post made by you allude to JD being backed by well healed local investors with connections to LOWES? Yes or NO.
Are you stating as fact that the conversion stunt from preferred to common after the common to preferred did NOT result in an increase in shares for JD and Glenn? Yes or NO.
are you stating as fact that the death of the WW CEO caused JD to release and retract the WW of wilmington PR? YES or NO
Are you stating as fact that M. Bongiovanni is not a founder of Gaurdian Registrar and Transfer? Yes or No
are you stating as fact that Bongiovanni did NOT introduce Koran to JD? Yes or No
are you stating as fact that Bongiovanni is not behind A-Z Consulting? Yes or No
Are you stating as fact that A-Z Consulting was owed $150K? Yes or No
Are you stating as fact that selling the land and building which resulted in the rent going from $5K to Roughly $20K per month was a good move from a fiscal point of view? Yes or No
Are you stating as FACT that Wilkes Holdings LLC was not created within the time frame of the shaver street land and property being sold..or directly after the closing? Yes or No
Are you stating as FACT that Wilkes Holdings does not collect rent from D&D Displays/Expo Holdings? Yes or No
YOU are on record stating "worst economy since the great depression". Given this....are you stating it is A-OKAY that JD and Glenn practiced sound financial decision making capabilities by *er*...*um*..."borrowing" $400k from the company cash register during these "worst economy since the great depression" times?
Yes or No
answer the questions above and things will begin to clear up for you.
there are plenty of posts containing LOWES innuendo of which you have authored..yet no links...why? TIA
ETC website is dead..patent application abandoned..trademark application abandoned...this is not innuendo...it's FACT..yet you claim big things ahead for ETC..LOL...LINKS please..instead of innuendo..thanks in advance!
And what you posted about Mr. Koran is laughable...his connection to expo was posted here before you posted the laughable info
Why was JD shot down by LOWES regarding his 2 proposals? Keep your answer directly related to the question..no wandering please.
The R/M process is indeed well known. 1 more time for you:
Bongiovanni= A to Z Consulting- Fee in EXPH's case- $150K
Mr. Bongiovanni is not a "predator"...he is very intelligent and knows the game frontward to back.
Mr. Bongiovanni = co-founder of Gaurdian Registrar and Transfer.
Nice and NEAT so far...right? Having a "FRIENDLY T/A" on your side is worth it's weight in GOLD.
To paint JD and his sidekick Glenn as being Naive to all of this is wishful thinking and way off base. JD knew what he was getting then...and knows the game well.
JD and Glenn were on the hook for much of D&D Displays' early debt(Pre-going public).....how on earth could a couple of good-ole boys get out from underneath a failing business venture...simple....talk to the right people ...R/M into a shell...the right people provide the contacts and behind the scenes placements....tell forward looking stories through PR's .. lie if you have to...enlist enablers...enablers help with the excuses...by this I mean the following:
Once it becomes clear to the shareholder base that revenue projections won't be met...once it becomes clear to the shareholder base that product launches, acquisitions and the like which were PR'd are dead on arrival....well...a CEO tends to get a bit tight-lipped....this allows the enlisted enablers an opening to explain everything away without the CEO hanging himself out to dry...AT LEAST that's the theory....it can backfire though.....that is where what you call.."old information"
comes in handy...it is part of the Historical record...and serves a valuable purpose once the wheels of justice get turning. What you refer to as "old information" has sunk many a scamming CEO.
not so fast....I did take the Trade and Loan company along with the Mulchers into account.
The word on the street is that 3 hounds approached the mulchers for doghouses...the Mulchers contacted the Trade and Loan guy on behalf of the 3 canines.
However...all 3 pooches were unable to obtain a mortgage.. and because of this the 3 prospective dog-condo deals never closed.
The 3 dog-condos are now mulch.
To be fair.. there may be some positive news to report..
word on the street is that the Mulch guys are in negotiations with a yet to be named prospective buyer regarding a large order of doghouses...this anticipated project is unrelated to the 3 dog-condo sale that never materialized. Rumor has it the prospective buyer requested a quote on 9 dog-shacks. Payment terms are being negotiated.. the hold up appears to be related to the fact that the Mulch guys have refused to take EXPH shares as currency..
evidently they will take the Iraqi Dinar but they absolutely refuse to take EXPH shares.
have a good weekend longs
There was exactly $99 worth of interest in this scam.
JD has diluted this into oblivion
The company is shrinking.. headed for extinction
ETC was a figment of JD's very broad imagination.It's dead
EXPH now consists of a doghouse and a few sheets of plywood
Company assets have been sold off, including the building,
The land, tools and machinery.
The only audited financial statement posted on pink sheets
was prepared by someone who is now permanently barred -per the PCAOB
JD and Glenn took approx. $400K from the company during what
a poster here called the "worst economy since the great
depression."
D&D Displays- number of employees is at a 5 year low.
JD and Glenn devised a share conversion scheme for their
personal benefit.
Yes Longs...have a great weekend.. you,ve been sold a
load of garbage.
There is some positive news regarding 116 Shaver street:
Wilkes Holdings LLC is once again a profit center for JD.
Unfortunately for LONGS- Wilkes Holdings LLC is not part of
EXPH...Wilkes Holdings collects the rent.
What will JD's next announcement be? R/S, BK, R/M??
Or..maybe ..EXPH will be acquiring Harrs Home Handi-man!!!
What a farce
why? :(
August 12, 2010: from a PCAOB release/report:
"Traci Jo Anderson, CPA and her firm of the same name engaged in numerous and repeated violations of PCAOB rules and auditing standards....... The Board revoked the firm's registration and permanently barred Anderson from being an associated person of a registered public accounting firm.."
Hey wait a minute....Expo holdings has a grand total of 1 audited financial statement on file for investors to..*er*...read...correct?
Who did JD hire to perform the one and only publicly disseminated audited financial report?
was it Traci j Anderson? LOL
yes indeed
Gaurdian Registrar & Transfer....which was co-founded by M.J. BONGIOVANNI
Why oh why then the pitiful revenue numbers? LOL TIA
Cash talks....as in revenue....and the numbers are below pitiful.
Exactly correct....It is a FACT that JD continues to use invoice factoring.... It is also FACT that invoice factoring rates and advances are based on the overall risk factor of the company being billed(Lowes in this case)...given these 2 FACTS....JD would have to be the dumbest creature walking upright if he were not factoring Lowes invoices...meaning of course that any post alluding to a windfall of cash headed D&D's way for shelving delivered to Lowes WEEKS AGO...would be....well....GARBAGE.
If a company's cash flow position is in dire straits and requires the use of invoice factoring..one would hope that the CEO would have at least enough live gray matter to Factor invoices that carry the lowest risk and lowest fees.
While we are on the subject of VERIFICATION....
You stated as fact that Kendrick being listed on a Form D filing as a 10% beneficial owner was a mistake that was corrected by JD filing a correction to the original Form D filing... you were asked to provide a link for verification....yet you have not provided any such link. Why have you chose not to? It exists...right? TIA
LOL
Here are some REAL FACTS regarding EXPH's bag of tricks which have kept the dream alive.
Management issued multiple misleading PR's which led to the MASSIVE dumping of shares....after all...ya can't have a successful dump without the pump.
JD sold off the land and building..the result?
JD and Glenn off the hook for certain debts..and.. a JUMP in rent cost from $5k per month to roughly $20k PER-MONTH..
Did the above add shareholder value..or did it do the OPPOSITE?
JD began *accessing* capital via share sales back in 2007...it's on file.
Tools sold on EBAY were not the ONLY assets sold off...and EBAY is/was not the sole vehicle used to sell company assets.The company sold tools and equipment because they are no longer needed.
Calling MANAGEMENT for facts is futile...remember...JD told shareholder(s) that 2009 revenues were on pace($6-$7 Million).. and he did so in DECEMBER of 2009.
The T/A will not release FLOAT NUMBERS.
yOUR CALL REGARDING THE FLOAT BEING 100 MILLION IS..well...OFF base.
D&D displays active employees sits at a FIVE year low.
Cima is a TWICE failed entity formerly known as Builders Choice cabinets and countertops....outstanding IRS payroll taxes remain unpaid according to a six-figure tax lien on file.
You have alluded to the fact that JD has informed you of the conversion ratio regarding Preferred to common....and since you have stated that JD and Glenn have never ever sold a single share...... simply post the total number of shares each hold.
Thanks so very much in advance
the relationship forged with Bongiovanni and his *contacts* was born well before 2009 and continue to this day.
"Consultants" are used by failing private entities for one reason......these "consultants" teach scamming mgmt how to access capital by selling and issuing shares...it involves false and misleading PR's....to which JD was part of....do you truly believe JD hired Bongiovanni as a consultant ..believing Bongiovanni would help JD grow his display business? TIA
The "consultant" was/is Michael J Bongiovanni....and JD has dealt with him AFTER the initial "consultation".....plenty of people have been duped....however JD and Glenn have not been duped.
Of course the decision to go public was well thought out and indeed calculated... many dying on the vine private companies go this route.. to think that JD and Glenn played no part is....well..... not correct IMO.
are you suggesting JD truly believed the ETC farce would generate $100 million?
are you suggesting that JD truly believed the "$22 Million landmark project" was a real and accurate projection?
are you suggesting that JD had no idea that the first doghouse picture taken at a retail outlet was taken in front of HIS Hardware store?
WOW
It is very easy to correct SBB....and JD has indeed filed the simple Form D amendment form on 2 occasions... he did not file an amendment form regarding the 2007 form D or any of the 2008 form D filings...he filed amendments to a form D filing made in May of 2010
No new orders...no pet product sales..no ETC orders....what you have are a few cabinet install projects courtesy of a TWICE failed entity now known as CIMA.. pitiful don't you agree veno?
No increase in production....D&D Displays employee number is at a 5 year LOW...and shrinking.....Machinery has been sold off because it is NO LONGER NEEDED.....operations are actually winding down.. the facts negate your premise of growing company-break even.. tough to face the facts eh veno?
Those that bought into this farce due to false and misleading PR's have been swindled...those that aided and abetted the pump and dump and CONTINUE down this path need to take a good long look at themselves.. what say you veno?
The ETC farce..."$100 million dollars in revenue"... "100 retailers by 12-2010"... shameful.. Dead patent application.. dead and abandoned Trademark application and a dead website.. a real game-changer...eh veno?
The "$22 million milestone project".. despite Food Lion opening 8 new stores in North Carolina recently and remodeling another 14 in North Carolina.. D&D Displays is dying on the vine...D&D has minimal work..and no work at all from Food Lion.. what say you veno?
JD filed a designation with the SOS office in Nevada creating a preferred class of shares with a defined conversion rate..If JD and Glenn have never sold, disposed of or participated in any stock lending scheme.. How many shares would JD and Glenn hold after converting shares from common to preferred then back to common? Tough question to face eh veno?
Contained within the initial form D filed on behalf of EXPO HOLDINGS JD and Glenn were listed as beneficial owners(Holding at least a 10% stake in a class of shares)...
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/vprr/07/9999999997-07-002129
you will also notice the State in which the shares were sold... ARKANSAS..2 accreditted investors..in ARKANSAS..not North Carolina..not sold to the LOCALS... that is not consistent with what has been claimed on this board...is it veno?
anyway..you will ALSO notice in each additional Form D filing the absence of a check mark in the "10% beneficial owner" box... that is not consistent with "Management has never sold a share" statement....odd don't you think...veno?
and...you will also notice Mr. Kendrick's name contained in the Form D filing ..he checked the "10% Beneficial owner" box.. this should put to rest any debate of Kendrick ever having been a 10% owner..meaning 99leadballoons was correct as usual and the *er* poster who challenged 99leadballoons on this point was ..*er* wrong......you agree with this assessment...don't you veno?
This company is dying on the vine....selling off equipment...JD sold the land and building....abysmal revenue..... Wilkes Holdings is now subletting a portion of the facility...allowing JD to collect additional rent monies...
Expo Holdings:
D&D Displays- generating approximately 1 half of the revenue it managed to generate in 2009....which of course was a DISASTER. D&D employs 50% fewer people in comparison to 2009...BRUTAL. D&D Displays is on an accelerated path to go the way of the DO-DO BIRD.
CIMA- a twice failed entity formerly known as Builders Choice Cabinets & Countertops. Operating in the red once AGAIN...I certainly hope payroll taxes are being paid this time around.
Economy pet products- simply a figment of JD's imagination in size and scope....a total FARCE...a recent survey, although not scientific in nature, shows most pets would prefer to be homeless.
ETC- Dead patent application...Dead Trademark application... Dead website....JD boasted "100 retailers by 12-2010".... JD missed the mark by exactly 100.
The deposits represent payment in full....BRUTAL
any questions veno? TIA
The company had no choice regarding paying off part of what they owe ....mgmt sold off a piece of equipment which was encumbered by a lien and thus....HAD to be paid off. Ever think of that? TIA
