Thank you!
One positive thing you can say is that the PPS was higher when Dugas occupied the CFO role. I would just honestly love to hear where he wants this company to be in the next 3-5 years. And a blueprint strategy for how he plans to get there.
My guess is that we see a shareholder update Monday morning.
Trust me, there are several offices within walking distance of this one that they can get for cheaper. This is a prime location and there's definitely a premium for having an office in "Market Street". I should have taken a few pictures of the Lamborghini and Bentley's parked outside. They can get a very nice office for half that price.
Get this. I just did a search on "Brinen & Associates" (ESP neighbors) and this description of the law firm came up:
The Firm provides a wide range of services for public and private companies concerning the taxable and tax-free acquisition, disposition and reorganization of business units.
Maybe Dugas should go knock on their door for some advice.
I just sent you them thru my work email.
I can't seem to get these pics posted on here. I'm not the most IT savy person. If you shoot me an email at cjlevay@yahoo.com I can forward you the pictures I took. 3 pictures in all.
Definitely legit office.
Got a few pictures. Post tomorrow
Dont worry about my money. Let me take care of that
He needs to sit down tonight and write a damn good shareholder update.
So if Dugas is operating out of the Scott office, I'm assuming he's not at the "executive office" in The Woodlands. Which means they're paying $11,000 a month on useless office space. Wow!
I might shoot her an email to see if we can get some more info.
Thanks for taking the time to call.
I'll be going by the The Woodlands office today around 6:30. If security doesn't let me in, I'll snap a few pictures of the outside.
The company has 3 major customers that together account for 47% of revenues. If any one of these customers experiences a decline in business, ESP will also experience a decline in revenues. Part of being a small company is growing your customer base. As they grow, they will rely less on these initial 3 customers. So their revenue will take less of a beating if one of them happens to cut orders with ESP.
Yep. Buying more
I'll be buying more on the 31st of this month.
The ONLY good news on the 10-Q I see is that O/S actually decreased from 151,485,249 to 151,080,249 shares.
Yes. Go to the SEC website at www.sec.gov
Search top right hand corner "ESP Resources"
First link shown is 10-Q
Cox and Greiges have both resigned from the company....??
Looks pretty ugly. Revenues down.

I'm thinking it will post around 4:30 Central/ 5:30 Eastern time (25 minutes). It has a couple of times before in the past.
I don't have L2. Are you able to see if its retail or MM's?
I'm tired of seeing these 3's.
They've issued the note to file late before but considering they hired a full time CFO this quarter, there should be no excuse. It should be released tomorrow after hours. Based on the sec's release schedule for small cap companies.
Good insight. Thank you. In order to start a completely new division from scratch you gotta be willing to invest in an experienced team at a high price. We do that often at my company. You've definitely got to throw a nice size salary and attractive stock options considering ESP is a small and lesser known company. It truely is a long term capital investment
Another company to keep your eye on, as I have been, is Armada Oil. Been following them for a year. They're a upstream E&P, not energy services like ESP. Worth doing some DD. Go back to inception.
I dont own any shares in AOIL currently
True. Any decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of revenue will be a good sign.
I'd expect revenue increase, negative profits and an increase in O/S. Same ole story.
Tomorrow at this time Q-1 shoul be reported.
Yep. Maybe they stole them off of one of their competitors sites, haha. Halliburton or Baker Hughes?
Wow! Did you see this?? Had no idea they set up a website for their ESP Facilities and Pipeline division.
www.espfps.com/
Look at the locations. Huh?? They aren't reporting leases in
Colorado
North Dakota
Pennsylvania
Oklahoma
Ohio
New York
Gulf of Mexico
Alberta Canada
Mexico
West Africa
Maybe only distributors at these locations??
I have a date over there on Thursday. My only concern is getting into the commercial building and bypassing security. But I'm going to try.
That's why I'm not buying now. Waiting on some funds to be reimbursed to me by my company at month end.
I'll be buying more shares at the end of this month.
Guys, remember that not all shareholders are "investors". I know that's a contradicting statement but put yourself in the place of vendors that have sold fixed assets or rendered services for the company and instead of being paid, were issued shares. They may care less about being a long term investor. They want to cash these shares out on the open market so they can receive cash and in turn, pay their suppliers. Take a look at all the issuance for services in the 10-k. Also, all the stock issued to officers that were vested immediately.

Nope. Wondering if Dugas is issuing a press release tomorrow in connection with the 10-Q to address all the questions that have been flying around. Maybe that's why Neil hasn't responded.... hopefully.
Here's my guesstimation on revenues:
2012 2013 % Increase
Q1 $4,289,985.00 $7,000,000.00 63%
Q2 $5,600,827.00 $9,000,000.00 61%
Q3 $4,461,459.00 $8,000,000.00 79%
Q4 $3,734,494.00 $6,000,000.00 61%
Total $18,086,765.00 $30,000,000.00
Guess we'll see something tomorrow. You have an estimate for Q1 revenues?
