..True.. EXPH share price is rising slowly on average volume.. This company is set up to use shareholder equity and vetted credit sources to move the company forward through increased production and through acquiring a new company to double sales..In this way the principals of the company could be freed up to carefully plan daily production schedules to extract every cent possible through efficiency..budget for future projects..hire the best workers at the most reasonable wages for maximum productivity..work close margin deals..deal with suppliers to cut costs and cut internal G&A expenses to balance a budget.. In the case where there are massive gains..they could now simply hold the AS where it is..letting the long term shareholders benefit from this state of the art modern aggressive management style while at least one executive is not drawing a salary or perks at very competive stress levels in this economy..
Furthermore..with the EXPH CEO.. President and other executives dealing with the responsibilities of having to run the company efficiently.. cut costs and do everything possible to turn a profit.. they are tirelessly working on important tasks like getting LOWES to increase their orders and spending entire days making sure their raw product inventories and CNC machines end up producing quality products sought out by fortune 100 and 500 companies.. While at the same time having a side business where some jobs can be used for installations in a pinch when contractors are necessary.. All of this while giving a few tours for loyal shareholders which proves all of the above.. Once the company is profitable quarter after quarter they may be able to take time off relaxing on the golf course while the etc cabinets at Lowes.. keep going out the EXPH loading dock doors at an overall huge gain into the 100s of millions for the company and shareholders. All IMHO...
veno
Really??
"Thanks for clearing up the difference between the EXPH flippers who are and have made money and the loyal longs that..............DIDN'T."
So you are saying that all flippers have made money here and none have lost a penny??
Very interesting theory..but in reality..we know how many boiler rooms with daytraders went belly up and have heard all the stories of how many lost their entire life savings flipping shares..Like Vegas..if you play long enough you will lose..However..as I said no one here will ever admit to it..
I also take notice of your last statement..The part about "the loyal longs that.............. DIDN'T"
Well..I am in the Green..I could take profits..but I am not looking for nickles and dimes..
Funny posts today..More about the company being a scam..More about how the pps was heading back to .0003 and then as the day ended..we hear..a strong finish and dumping on the upswing remarks..Yep..very funny stuff..Sounds to me like someone was hoping for a much larger move down and it didn't happen..
Like I said..the company is legit and new management will be more friendly to the loyal shareholders..EXPH flippers as you say..are just now seeing the new reversal trend and IMO..it won't be easy pickings from here on out..Many of the negative things that could be said have been said over and over..but none of them have trumped Nate's visit and response here as to what is going on now at the company..Not one..
The current financials are coming..
The new CEO will be announced..
etc to the first retailer..and much more..
The best news about all that is that no one knows when any of those will hit..GLTA..
From my call today from the SEC..They are still working on the answer about the FTDs..I was told they have been looking at 2008 and are just now concentrating on 2009 and 2010...veno
I also have no idea about any of what
was stated by this new poster. However..I did send it on to Dean...veno
So..which part do you disagree with??
That there will be less huge swings in ups and downs and a more long term holding friendly stock..
Or..
With the shareholder's meeting not that far off..the new CEO will take over under much more favorable conditions..
It would seem that if the new CEO has been brought on to handle shareholders better and move the company forward..that the company would be more interested in the longs than the short term traders...veno
Sorry..but I do believe the new CEO will be calling the shots and I don't believe that what will end up being trader friendly..Slow and steady up momementum coupled with much smaller pullbacks..However..with what we know is coming..I would say that another large move to the upside will happen soon enough..
Traders have had their turn and now it is time for the longs to have theirs..This stock has been beaten down for a very long time now and considering it is extremely undervalued IMO..as I have posted previously..a much larger move up is due..Many of the items I have mentioned in previous posts have not been PRd yet..they are coming..
With the shareholder's meeting not that far off..the new CEO will take over under much more favorable conditions IMO..That is my bet and it is why I am staying long EXPH and EXPO...veno
I believe the "basics" are what I stated before..
"The one glaring question in this back and forth is why stay interested in a company when one doesn't feel they are a good investment??
The company has turned the corner IMO in the right direction..
The management saying they have made mistakes and the need to bring in a new CEO that has the experience to lead the company forward..
The resumption of the FOOD LION contract..
The increased order from LOWES..
The acquisition of BC along with increased production and revenue..
This from Nate's visit to the company..
"They were able to show me some folders of projects they are working on, huge deals, pages and pages of cabinets.... also I got a glimpse of a dry erase board slammed with jobs. These are residential jobs, in addition to the LOWE'S displays."
Also I never knew that EXPO had workers there from the industry that are EX LOWES employees and at least one with 29 years at LOWES..
"EXPO Commercial Sales Manager 29yr Lowes vet....
retired. I met her Monday, very nice lady. Several of the other higher ups there are also retired from Lowe's. IMO it wont be net 90. She's the hook up with Lowe's. First the Displays that ARE ALREADY in the stores... then these tile and laminate sample boards, the ones from today's news, next THOSE SINKS BABY!!!!"
[Suppressed Image]
[Suppressed Image]
Now we all know that anyone can pick on the past and say that it will continue..However I believe that the company as I said..has turned the corner in the right direction..Not acknowledging any of the above as a positive IMO..makes no sense at all...veno
Edit..I did forget to mention that company is expecting to file with the SEC and become current which will remove the stop sign..
"The company expects replacement of the stop icon on pinksheets.com with a yield sign, and further expects a current status to be achieved on or before September 1, 2010."
I am more concerned about what the dog houses
are made of..
News to come..
A new CEO will be named..rumors of ties to a big retailer..
The company is to be of current status with the SEC and stop sign removed..
Further updates on LOWES and the Food Lion orders..
Have a great day all..and gee I wonder if one of the people NATE met during his visit was the new CEO coming on?? More to answer your question..GLTY in getting more shares lower...veno
What about who??
"What about the people that thought that they were dealing with a legitimate company at the time and bought shares in the 2-3 cent range and may not have had the money left over to average down?"
Sorry but I personally don't know any of those people and they sure haven't spoken about it here..I Do know that most of the buying in the two to three range was from traders and not longs and they either sold and made a profit or lost by timing their trades wrong..Like I said..I would bet that many have averaged down nicely and if they aren't green yet they soon will be..
Most of the posts have been about the company not filing and having the stop sign hanging over the company..I see the company becoming current and the stop sign removed as a good thing..don't you??
If not..as I have said before..Some will like what they see and will buy more shares or hold..Some won't like what the company is doing no matter what the company does..For those few..there are always many more companies to invest in..The one glaring question in this back and forth is why stay interested in a company when one doesn't feel they are a good investment?? GLTA...veno
Basser..from your post..
"I have no problem waiting till Sept 15 but I am leaning more towards the point of view that not much is really going to be cleared up"..
So the company actually being current in their filings with the SEC between now and then would not be much clearing up..IYO??
I believe that is what many have been asking for here every day..The company current with their financials would mean all back filings as well as 1st and 2nd quarter 2010 showing up depending on when the filings are put out..
I would have to say that would clear up a whole lot of questions..
With the company changing to after hours PRs..it will be a problem for some on how to play this from here on out..When will news come next?? Today after trading hours?? Monday before the open?? Who knows?? I like the fact that the company has made that a guessing game..
News to come..
Current filings..New CEO..more than likely updates on Food Lion..LOWES and CIMA and my favorite..ETC going to the first retailer..From what I can gather from the pictures that Nate took during his visit..it sure looks like mass production of the etc cabinet faces has started..Any guesses why a company produces mass quantities of cabinet faces?? The only one I can guess is that they are gearing up for that first retailer and my guess is that it will be a huge company..LOWES..HD are just a few that come to mind..Considering the company was asked to sponsor the truck at Daytona or another company would be asked to do it..I would say that points gained by doing just that was just the beginning for etc..
So I disagree completely to the statement that not much will be known on or before 9-15-10..The problem I know for some is that between now and then when will the news hit..What the pps does between now and then is really no concern for me..Considering the Private Placements were done for .001 with a one year restriction..I can wait with those that took that bet when we were much lower..Oh by the way..I would have to say that not many are way down on their investment as you post..Averaging down does help when the company hits rock bottom and millions of shares can be bought for next to nothing..I am seeing green today in my investment here..but thanks for your concern..
For any that care..the SEC has not sent their reply email back yet..You would think a simple answer like the numbers of the FTDs are correct..wouldn't be so hard to come by..If I get a reply today..I will report it here..If not they will again be called on Monday..GLTA...veno
You are correct a 50% increase in one day
of trading is nothing to shake a stick at..However you do just that..
"up to last Sept 14th, yesterday's news would have rallied this several hundred percent just in a day"..
We all know that day traders and flippers love those several hundred percent gains as well as the several hundred percent declines right after that kind of move in EXPH..Much more profit to be made in that kind of trading..
You go on to say that this "does not bode well for newcomers or faithfuls"..
I have to disagree..Quite the contrary..I would prefer to see slow increases and smaller pull backs over a period of time just like the big board stocks trade when they are improving the bottom line..
Therefore..I have to disagree with the first statement you made..
"JD and his faithfuls are suffering consequences of his actions over the past year.."
I believe that we are just starting to see the reverse of what use to be common here..News comes out and selling wipes out the news on the first day..
4Kds is right..not putting the news out before the market open or during trading is a big step in the right direction to curb traders from making those huge swings in trading..I hope the company continues to keep us and more importantly flippers guessing as to when news will come..4Kds is also right..there are many long shares being held and less shares to be swapped back and forth which also limits those huge percentages you speak of..
I would say that those that bought at .0005 and sold today for whatever..will now want to see the pps head back down to rinse and repeat..In that case we can start talking again about Glenn's side business..what the dog houses are made of.. or that only one broker has decided not to allow buys when BofA/Merrill Lynch and all other brokers believe it is OK to buy EXPH..
The problem is someone is going to have to take a loss or make little profit to sell to those doing that and it won't be me doing the selling..I would guess by what we believe to be coming it will be harder and harder for many to let go down here..In any case to each their own..I could care less about 50% up move in one day when I am looking for much much more over the long term..However it is a great start for the longer term holders..
To SBB..Your posts keep looking at the past and in the most recent post..ancient history as far as companies are concerned..Companies do and have changed through growth from their beginnings..I believe most here now realize that this company is growing in both production and in size..They see that past management has talked about their limitations of moving the company forward without new leardership and is taking steps by hiring a new CEO to achieve that goal..The company has taken steps to reduce debt on a quicker schedule all the while retaining huge customers who want to increase orders..They have banks and creditors willing to renegotiate terms of lending..We have eyewitness accounts along with pictures..that show that the company is increasing production..The company has also acquired another company to help with that increase while at the same time increasing revenue..
That has all happened and more since what you mentioned happened in the past..In investing..you look to find a company that has taken steps needed to improve the bottom line..You also look for companies that have been beaten down that look to be reversing past misstakes..I believe you even posted that is what you look for when investing..Something along the lines that when everyone is yelling at the top of their lungs to sell that is when you buy..Well I hear you yelling..but I already bought my ticket for the ride I believe to be coming..GLTA...veno
Really??
"The MM's are not sitting at the computer screen talking to each other saying lets put up a wall at .0008 so we can entice people to sell."
I hate to be the bearer of bad news..but not to long ago my broker caught nite doing just what you say they don't do..
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=50951097&txt2find=broker
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=50966769&txt2find=broker
Nothing has changed and anyone that thinks that the MMs don't block the ask to get more shares is uninformed IMO..
I see nothing new here today..This was run was set up over the last week when the volume dried up..Everyone was either waiting on an announcement of more dilution coming or one that most longs already knew..that the dilution had stopped..
Yesterday after the PR..the "traders" liked that information very much and you could see the negativity change in the posts with all the new faces coming here to prepare for today..They will be gone just as quickly..Unless someone wishes to take this much lower again..I have all the shares I need and won't be selling until we are much higher..The traders can do as they wish..but again..no matter what is reported..some will do well and some will not..No one will report that they didn't do well..
I see more news coming quickly and with that.. continued pressure to the upside..The day to day trading has no bearing for me unless I am buying or selling and as I said I am doing neither..I will hold for much larger gains..GLTA...veno
Stock Barber..I did ask that question and was
told that the DTCC was the responsible party for providing the information to the SEC on FTDs..I still find it interesting that not one person I talked to said straight out that the reason was that there is no FTDs to report..You would think that would be the pat answer just to brush off individual investors that ask that question and I am sure I am not the first..However..when I talked to the attorney at the Trading and Markets division the first words out of his mouth were..who gave you this number to call?? I told him I was transfered to him by another SEC division which said you have the answer to my question..It would seem that no one knows the answer..as I did get transfered three different times from my original call to get to him and he didn't know the answer straight out..Like I said I will keep trying..You would think that if no FTDs have happened over the last year..they could at least verify it quickly..Now I see something coming which could keep me from getting anything more than a.."yes there are no FTD's".. If I was to get..guess what?? Someone screwed up..or someone is withholding that information..wouldn't that be insider information?? In any case I am to get a reply back by email..since I have been a pain in their behinds about this..I will report what I get..when I get it one way or the other..
Dguff..thanks for the quick answer to one of my questions and it is great to know that EX LOWES employees work for EXPO in the higher up positions..Just another indication for me that the company is legit..
Js..again thanks for your pictures and visit..It does look like from all I see that the company not only turns out a lot of product quickly..but more importantly..with quality..
Thanks again...veno
Nate..your post really opened my eyes
and may have been skipped over by others concerning the following..
You say..
"EXPO Commercial Sales Manager 29yr Lowes vet....
retired. I met her Monday, very nice lady. Several of the other higher ups there are also retired from Lowe's. IMO it wont be net 90. She's the hook up with Lowe's"..
I guess I am way behind the curve on this one..I have read many posts about the two management heads at EXPO..JD and Glenn..I have not seen it posted before that there "other higher ups"from LOWES working there..
I certainly have not heard of a woman that is retired from LOWES working at EXPO..
I don't know if these people are from the aquisition of BC or not..
Did you get the impression that these higher ups.. including the 29 year female veteran from LOWES.. have worked at EXPO a long time?? TIA..
Sorry I have used up my 3 posts for the day and won't be able to quickly thank you for your response..
I have been thinking all along that the new CEO would be from the industry with a lot of experience..It would be interesting if you met the new CEO during your visit and didn't know it because that would be insider information..I am hoping that the new CEO is EX LOWES or from another very large retail company as I have previously posted..
Your posted detailed information from your visit to EXPO has been great.. I truly do appreciate the time and expense you took to provide the information and photos to those that can't get there..
Thanks a bunch...veno
Thanks 4kds..
I believe what we are seeing is what we thought we would see..When the new CEO comes on many things not known will be know..Lots of posts about AS increases and RS's now seem to be null and void for the time being..I do believe that company wants the new CEO to start off on the right foot..The acquisition of BC and now a public statement that the OS will remain the same is a great start..Couple that with the recent visit reports of all the work that is being done and he or she should be able to report many good things from the beginning..I do agree with you that the new CEO should be announced to the public before the shareholder's meeting along with the current financials..Great things to come IMO and as always keep up the great updates daily..
EDIT..Stock Barber I am still working on the information from the SEC concerning the FTD data..I called again today and was told that someone would get back to me when they are done looking into it..As I said I now have two people from two different divisions working on it and it is like pulling teeth to get them to move forward..In any case one of them said that they will get back to me by email..GLTA...veno
Nice close up on the webcam..Seems you got there
when lunch was just ending..Thanks for taking the time to go and see first hand what most of us already know..That the company and the management are legit and the orders are increasing..
Thanks again and it is good to see a new person at the top of this venue..Congrats Owgur...veno
I agree..
"Facts that will need to be spun like cotton candy to sound even moderately acceptable."
In the case of posting that all investors that go to the company are being duped or are a part of the company..
Again..thanks to all that have visited the company and reported back their findings..A big thanks to Nate for his recent visit and not spinning the facts into "cotton candy" he witnessed..
"JD gave us the tour. He was VERY nice and spent around 2 hours with us.
Imo JD was completly honest with us. He's a great down to earth guy and you can tell he is a leader who likes to be in the action, not behind a desk. He said that he is currently receiving NO PAYCHECK. Also he has not sold ANY SHARES. he said the NEW CEO will be more devoted to shareholders and pps performance. There WILL be management introductions at the SH meeting. I would expect the new CEO to be announced then if not sooner."
"Here's some answers to the questions I asked him:"
"Any plans for r/s in the future. NO."
"When can we expect financials and earnings to be current? could be tomorrow, could be next month.... financial records will be current soon."
"I asked about the race truck...... this wasn't some "childhood fantasy" thing. Basically it is a jr team of a large customer and they needed sponsorship. basically "sponsor the team or we'll find another supplier who will..."
"The company is activly seeking other aquisitions at this time."
"The CNC machines are BOTH ALMOST paid for. I have pictures of both machines that I will be uploading when I get home. These are VERY EXPENSIVE MACHINES. $300k base price plus the extras would make them closer to 400-500k each. And I'm sorry but you would get more than 15 cents on the dollar for these if it were sold."
"The HUGE STACKS OF WOOD..... These are being used to make displays for lowes... he couldn't say that, but I could tell. there was a team of guys putting these together, I'm assuming these were hourly employees."
"Speaking of employees he introduced us to over a dozen saleried employees, sales team members, and executives. Most of these people have been there for years and everyone was very happy and extremly nice. One guy in particular had been with the company since high school and has moved up from bottom to one of the lead guys in manufacting. He was working on a prototype knife display."
"There were MANY JOBS being worked on both for home owners and for commericial clients (lowes). These had different labels on them and I could see that they were for different jobs. EVERY PRODUCT WAS HIGH QUALITY AND TOP NOTCH CRAFTSMANSHIP."
"I feel like I'm skipping around, forgive me, plus I'm on my phone so the grammer may be off a bit lol."
"They were able to show me some folders of projects they are working on, huge deals, pages and pages of cabinets.... also I got a glimce of a dry erase board slammed with jobs. These are residential jobs, in addition to the lowes displays."
"ECT ROCKS.... its not made "interchangable" for the end user. That is one selling point, however the interchangable part is mainly a benifit for the retailer. While before the would have to stock a million $ worth of inventory, with ect they may reduce that stock to say $400k. Not to mention the saved space. He showed me how it worked using a display they have set up, he changed from white to a wood finish in under 60 seconds. NO TOOLS. However you would need to remove the sink in order to make the switch. That would require tools, but the sink is not ECT, the cabinet required NO TOOLS tools to change out."
"There were maybe 20 or 30 of those high end sinks, the ones that look like fancy cabinets with a sink in the top. I took pictures and will be uploading later. He couldn't comment on who or what they were for. IMO LOWES!"
"We stopped by the Ebenezer childrens home (spell check). If you were under the impression that these donated cabinets were some cheap medicine cabinets in the bathroom, your absolutly mistaken. EXPO HOLDINGS went above and beyond on this and I took pictures. Its a whole kitchen plus a really long bar, all very high quality and fit for a custom home. I had an amazing time at EXPO, but became an official "Long" when I saw this home. JD had no idea we going there."
"Also we stopped by Southern Candle...... didn't mean to, we were looking for a place to eat and passed it in town. This was a great company and I can see why it was almost aquired. I asked JD why that didn't happen.... he said that it was due to the economy almost crashing and the deal fell through. I casually asked the girl at SC about it, she didn't know what I was talking about, but had only been there a year. She said that they just got (or were about to have?) An international contract(s). Also that the owners were ALIVE. This is irrelivent, since the deal didn't go through, all I'm saying is that this would have been a great aquisition imo."
"There's so much more, but seriously my fingers hurt. Pictures coming soon. Any questions please ask."
"I was skeptical, now I am SOOOO EXCITED, GOOOO EXPH!"
Really??
"consequently most of us give ZERO credibility to any of JD's responses when "I asked that too"
I would say if you took a head count that the majority of the investors believe what JD told Nate today..Since he was there and talked to him face to face..he can make his own judgements..Pretty much all the topics you posted about have been explained many times..The lists that seems to be going on and on now is the amount of work the company is doing..The amount of work orders that Nate saw with his own eyes..As far as the financials I believe we have heard that they are coming..along with a new CEO..You are correct about one thing..The pps is way undervalued and is a good buy down here..GLTY and again thanks to Nate for the updates and pictures that are coming..JD will not be the whipping boy much longer..As Nate said the management will be introduced at the shareholder's meeting and more than likely we will know who that is before then...veno
Thanks a bunch Nate..
It is great to have a first hand account of what the company is working on..I also heard that the truck sponsorship was a "they asked us" type of deal and considering who was doing the asking..I still think it was money well spent..I also believe that it will lead to retail sales of etc..
I didn't know that JD was not taking pay right now..That is information that is great for the bottom line..It looks like you witnessed that the orders were not slowing down any..Which is also great news and exactly what the company has reported given the increased orders from LOWES..The continuation of the Food Lion remodels and the acquisition of BC..
"They were able to show me some folders of projects they are working on, huge deals, pages and pages of cabinets.... also I got a glimce of a dry erase board slammed with jobs. These are residential jobs, in addition to the lowes displays."
I wish I could also take a look at the day to day happenings..but I will go by what several have seen and reported..I did see you stop in front of the webcam for a minute or two by the large stacks of wood..I have two observations from what I saw and what you have reported..
One.. I believe every word you have shared about your visit and that EXPO is not a scam operation..
and Two..You missed your calling as a NFL player..That from seeing you on the webcam..
Again..Thanks a bunch.. I am still long this company thanks to you and a few others that actually do take the extra step and time to see and report the truth..
For those that didn't catch this in my first post today..
Edit again..I still haven't heard back from the SEC..I now have two divisions working on the answer to the data on the FTDs..I will report what I get when I get it...veno
Really??
"that's because duped *investors* are buying/accumulating massive DILUTION.."
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=52832716
...veno
Yep..I just now saw you on the webcam..
It will be nice to hear what you hear and report back on that big stack of wood..
Edit..As 4kds reports..it is nice to get a first hand look at the company then to hear what the reaction is..Some question the DD done while others actually take the time to see what is what and report it here..
Edit again..I still haven't heard back from the SEC..I now have two divisions working on the answer to the data on the FTDs..I will report what I get when I get it...veno
I see you still haven't talked to Dean Becker..
Any links to this??
"That's the direct quote of your hero concerning OVOE.PK. According to him, Dean Becker has abandoned everything else including business and family to devote all his time to the sale of OVOE.PK patents.
As we all know..it is just another fabrication on your part with no link to back it up...veno
What would the sum have to be
for the patent sale..that you say needs to be a lot higher for a large influx to the bottom line of OVOE?? Let's say there is 40% going to the financiers..10% going to ICAP and 50% going to the company minus the back payroll..
What figure do believe would be considered
adding a lot to the bottom line..considering the current burn rate which is almost nil and the past revenue OVOE has derived todate?? Oh by the way..you can look back over my posts..I have used numbers in my posts..but I have yet to post that $20 million was my guess for what the patents would bring..If you have noticed I have asked what others thought the sale would bring in and have some times used those numbers..I have a good idea what they should bring..but that is my DD..First and foremost the patents need to sell..It is good to know that Mr. Becker is personally handling the sale..It is also good to know that contrary to what has been implied here in pure speculative fabricated posts that ICAP is still working on that sale and has a large vested interest in deriving top dollar from it..GLTY...veno
As of this morning..
all I can get is that they are working on it and will get back to me..I will report what the outcome is...veno
Stock_Barber..It might interest you to know
that I have been in touch with the SEC concerning EXPH not showing any fails to deliver data..
"Not that there are any EXPH FTDs at all anyway..."
I asked them why EXPH showed data right up to July 30th 2009 and then no data since then?? They told me that the FTD data is an accumulated total from day to day and that it was "quite interesting that the totals on the data have not returned in their data files"..I was put through to three different numbers and divisions with the same reply..The last person I spoke with was an attorney in the Trading and Markets division who said that he would check to see what the problem was..I am awaiting his reply..
From all I heard..it sure sounded like the problem might have happened when the SEC went from reporting monthly numbers to bi-monthly numbers in July 2009..It would seem that a possible clerical error might have occured then..
In any case..I would like to know if what we are seeing is zero FTD's or not..Like I said the SEC is checking into this and I find it interesting that not one of the people I spoke with said that the reason was that no FTD's had been reported for EXPH..therefore none show up..When in fact..it seemed more like there was a problem that needed to be fixed in their system..We shall see what the answer is to this from the source and not from speculation...veno
Nate..Thanks for the locations..

http://foodlion.mywebgrocer.com/InteractiveMap.aspx?state=nc&areasel=0
It would seem that Food lion is growing rapidly as they are owned by the Delhaize Group which trades on the NYSE for over $70 a share..
You can find more information about Food Lion and pictures in this link..

It would seem that some major companies do not think that EXPO is a bad company at all as some have tried to post here..
IMO..This stock is extremely undervalued given the clients they work with Such as Stanley..LOWES and Food Lion to name a few..Given the credit line that has been established..the order increases by LOWES..the continuation of the projects with Food Lion and the acquisition of BC..Undervalued is more like extremely undervalued from where we are now..IMO..I do believe that the new CEO will grow this company even faster and I look forward for the direction given to that end..GLTY and thanks again...veno
That was already answerd by the company..

It is great to see EXPO growing their company by the increased orders with LOWES and the resumption of the Milestone project with Food Lion..Not to mention the added projects that have been brought to the company with the acquisition of BC..It would look like etc is still in the mix in a big way and will be on the forefront of projects with the new CEO coming on board..
"We are entering a new economic period, with new economic conditions and we believe new talent is needed to assist us in structuring for growth, and the promotion of our new brand etc. Easy Transitional Cabinetry. As the company moves forward towards complete transparency, and potential uplisting events, a successful candidate with leadership experience in the OTCBB arena is required."

"By utilizing funds raised publicly, as well as funds from cash flow, the company has acquired an additional finishing booth to assist the company with it's upcoming finished product demand. This finishing booth measures approximately 13ft Wide X 23ft Deep. Products such as ETC. face frames and doors will be finished in this booth, along with other custom type products."

"Expo Holdings, Inc. is pleased to announce that is has chosen Global Hardlines LTD. (GHL) as its sourcing and procurement partner."
"GHL has been engaged to provide sourcing solutions regarding certain products in the Etc. (Easy Transitional Cabinetry) product line-up."
Charlie Brown, GHL, Stated, "GHL's framework of sourcing entails identifying, evaluating, negotiating and configuring supply across multiple geographic regions to reduce costs for the Expo team. We will tap into our resources to deliver great speed to market benefits while delivering the quality Expo Holdings demands."
Glenn Harrs, President, Stated, "We have served Charlie in the past as a Director with Lowe’s Companies, and we are excited to utilize his import expertise in sourcing certain portions of the Etc. program. In order to meet our customers margin demands, we will manufacture the ‘bulky’ portions of the cabinets in our facilities stateside, and will utilize GHL’s team to supply the importable product from overseas. Final assembly of most Etc. products will occur here in the United States."

"Expo's subsidiary D&D Displays, Inc. has begun production of mdf cabinet doors in a wide variety of styles for residential / commercial use. Team members recently gained from Builders Choice perfected this process and have brought this process to our plant. These doors will be used in conjunction with Etc. brand products to enhance variety and control costs. These doors along with a quality finish are nearly indistinguishable from solid wood doors."
6/14/10
"Demand appears to be stabilizing for D&D Displays, Etc. Cabinetry, and our newest brand Cima."
It would seem that from the above contrary to what others have posted etc is being ramped up for added revenue not done away with..
All great news...veno
Really??
"SURELY NOT THE REMAINING INVESTORS"..
I would think that the investors here would benefit nicely to a huge influx of income to OVOEs bottom line..Not to mention that the patent sale would mean that one company bought the patents believing that they do hold considerable worth while also having the upper hand on at least one well known company if not more infringing on them..
Here's a thought..I would think that anyone posting on a stock message board would be here for only one reason and that is to make money..one way or the other..SO GLTY IN YOUR EFFORTS...veno
Two different stores..
It's like a where's Waldo thing..Compare the two different Deli places within the stores..One goes by "Fresh Deli"..the other by "Neighborhood Deli"..
Two different locations within each store and painted differently..The lighting on the ceilings is different..One has a bunch of continous florescent lighting banks were the other has broken florescent lighting..Also the fronts of each store has different windows..One has many where the other one has very few..
I know you are looking for something good out of the company..These new pictures are good news and do show that EXPO has completed work on another store..faily fast I would say considering when it was announced and the scope of the work..
5/5/2010 1:29:02 PM
"The company is pleased to notify shareholders that production of grocery and grocery related store fixtures continues. On Thursday April 15, 2010 the company announced that large scale production of grocery fixtures had begun. After successfully completing a complete new store package shipped the week of April 19th, our company was awarded another complete new store package which is scheduled for shipment within the next few weeks. Further, the company has received and shipped several smaller orders for this customer. This is a year long plus project, and further updates will be provided."

http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=42397384&symbol=EXPH
Here is the better news..I would say that the company has now completed the at least one more..if not more..new store packages considering what they said about shipping another complete package in a few weeks back in May..
So I hope that helps...veno
Actually I see quite a few new pictures..
The Food Lion work looks to be some big ticket items..Lots of displays and overhead work using quite a bit of wood..custom made to order..I would think that each store completed would come at a hefty price to Food Lion moving into EXPO's coffers..I also thought I saw some more cabinet work when looking at all the pictures..As far as the stacks of wood at the company on the website..It would seem that the company is prepared to start another major project..It is great to know that EXPO's stated goal is to pay down debt at an accellerated rate..That way the revenues derived from the sales will not be offset by the debt as much..It is great to have BC on board now..With EXPO expediting their orders..coupled with what we are seeing..it sure looks like the accelerated growth they have predicted for the next month and half is on target..Have a great day and thanks for your links to the daily numbers...veno
Thanks for the DD SBB..
You stated that Mr Becker the CEO of Ocean Tomo..
"is no longer involved in promotion or anything but the largest, most lucrative sales since 2009"..
It is great to know that Mr. Becker is personally handling the patent sale for One voice..
You want someone to prove you wrong??
Let's see your link to this fabrication..
"the high bid on the patents so far is $200K."
You don't have one because it was never said and just another fabrication from the original post..I have numerous other examples of the same..
Considering that Mr Becker is handling only the most lucrative sales for his company..One Voice is in good hands...veno
With all due respect..Those companies can do that
because they promote from within and usually the person coming on has been with the company for years..If a company goes with an interim CEO while looking for a new replacement it can take a long time..I have been with several large cap companies that have replaced CEO's and I know the proceedure well..Sorry..you are wrong..A company doesn't throw a new CEO not already an employee with the company into the fire before making sure that the new CEO knows everything there is to know about the company from the ground up..I would not want it any other way..I am guessing that the new CEO will have a tie in with the industry..with the experience needed to move the company forward quickly..It would be great if they could pull someone out of retirement that has been there and done that..Off to work..Have a great day...veno
You provided nothing I asked for..
I asked for a quote from Mr. Becker that you already have because you implied I didn't call him or that you have called him and he said differently..
I will not send your opinions to him..You can do that and get back to us on his reply..
You can send this as well..
I tried to get in touch with Mr Anderson who you said you talked with..You said that from that conversation that Mr. Anderson had no idea about the patents and if I called I would get a OVOE PK who? response..Well..Mr Anderson didn't get back to me after I called early Monday morning 7-19-10..
I waited until the next next day 7-20-10 and decided to call Mr. Becker..the person you say was quoted by One Voice..but didn't make that statement in the PR..
I placed the call to Mr. Becker at 1:55PM using the 561 area code phone number listed on the website..He answered the phone..I introduced myself by name..also saying I was an investor in One Voice and said that I had tried to get in touch with Mr Anderson concerning the patent sale for One Voice.
He said that Mr Anderson didn't work for him anymore. He asked if I could hold for a second and I said yes. We were cut off during that hold. I called right back and got his answering machine. I hung up and he called me right back at 1:59 PM and said he was sorry we were cut off.
I continued the conversation by stating that Mr Andserson was the only contact listed at ICAP for the patent sale and it has been said that Mr. Anderson has no idea about the patent sale and I just wanted to verify that information.
Mr Becker again said that Mr anderson doesn't work for him anymore and that he personally has been handling the patent sale for One Voice. I said thanks for clearing that up. He went on to say if I wanted updates about the sale of the patents I could contact Dean Weber. That he could not give out updates because he had no way to verify who I was..He added that I could be a competitor of One Voice trying to get information..I told him I completely understood and only wanted to know that the sale was still ongoing which doubts had been raised by what another person said about Mr Anderson not knowing anything about the sale..He once again said he personally was handling the sale and to contact Mr Weber for updates..
Now..you can verify all of that or not..What I do know is that you have been guessing about the patent sale and have not called to verify what you have posted..I did call and you can send the above back and forth between Mr Becker and myself to Mr Becker for verification if you choose..
The bottom line is that Mr. Becker the CEO is handling the the patent sale personally and you have been quoted as saying that Mr Becker..
"is no longer involved in promotion or anything but the largest, most lucrative sales since 2009"..
Until I see a reply to you from Mr Becker..Case closed and thanks for the quote...veno
So now in order to prove your point that you
have talked to Mr. Becker..you want me to send an email from you of your opinions to him?? Sorry that doesn't cut it..Like I said..I talked to him and he said that he is handling the patents for One Voice personally..You said that I didn't talk to him and offer no proof..I suggest you send your own email and get back to us with his reply..Until then..no quote no call..case closed...veno
I see you didn't talk to him as well..
No call no quote...veno
I will try and answer that one..
Some have claimed that he/she has been around now for months. Can anyone explain why this would not have been announced? I can think of no reason not to announce it the minute he/she came on board...
Being a long term shareholder and continued backer of this company..I would like the new CEO to have all the data concerning the financials and know everything about the business from the first day he or she is announced..I certainly do not want the new CEO asked questions about the company they don't know the answers to. With a holding company like EXPO..there are several divisons.. One with a new product being introduced and a new company just acquired..So the process doesn't happen over night..Once the new CEO is announced as the new leader..He or she becomes responsible for all the company's products..for all the financials and for all Prs..I do believe a new CEO is already being updated on all of the above..It is the new CEO's job to plan for the future..Now how long does all that take?? Certainly not the minute he or she came on board..It even takes time for other companies to gain new CEO's unless the plan to step down was alaready known and the person stepping up already was employed by the business and knew what was what..even then it is pr'd well in advance that "they are in the process"..
The company has updated us that the process was ongoing..From May..
"Preparations to ensure a smooth and seamless transition to a permanent CEO are ongoing. Additional formalized announcements should be expected."
I believe that EXPO tipped their hand when they announced that there would be management introductions at the shareholders meeting..I believe all shareholders already know JD and Glenn..
Oh and I will add..that I believe that the new CEO will be known before the shareholder's meeting because they have already been picked and because they should be up to speed if not now..soon..That is just my opinion..but most CEO's are pr'd before a shareholder's meeting so that past employment and experience can be looked at before the questions start at the meeting..Hope that helps...veno
Did I see a quote from Mr. Becker in that
post anywhere?? LOL..Nope..Just as I thought..no call no quote..Still waiting...veno
No..I'll stick to the number I called from the website..I will also stick to the fact you have never called..If you would like to quote what he has told you..I will be glad to send it to his email address along with everything else you have made up about the sale..I am sure he would like to see what you have posted about the sale and his involvement..I'll await the quote from Mr. Becker from you..Until then case closed as I said before...veno
Well you would know all of the answers to those questions if you had actually called the Florida number..but you didn't and you won't for the reasons I stated..Oh by the way.. you may want to look at this link..since it is the one I used to make the call to Mr. Becker to ask why Mr. Anderson wouldn't reply and confirm you unvetted story..
http://icapoceantomo.com/privateip
You will see the 561 area code listed for Mr Becker..That of course is in Florida..I don't believe that he would give out his home phone number on their website as you fabricated..Face it you didn't call and every bit of the information I gave out was exactly what Mr Becker said..That he was personally handling the sale..which you have added..he now only works with the most lucrative accounts..So if you care to make up anything else..to each their own..but by I now..I think we all know if you only do internet searches.. your information is probably not only old but wrong...veno
All before the private entity of etc was dropped..
since then all has been explained nicely..
5/12/2010 9:12:00 AM
"The company has increased it's authorized shares to 2 billion from 1 billion 350 million. Over the next 60 days, the company intends to raise slightly in excess of $100,000 via it's equity. Shareholders should expect the outstanding shares to increase accordingly. Further announcements regarding continued financial restructuring, company contracts, and management changes should be expected."
Since that announcement that they would be diluting to get a little over $100K..we have seen the company..
1) Acquire a new finishing booth..
http://www.expoholding.com/news.asp
2) Choose Global Hardlines LTD. (GHL) as its sourcing and procurement partner for outsourced components of etc.
http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=42850973&symbol=NO%5EEXPH
3) Retire 2.4 million shares..
http://www.expoholding.com/news.asp
4) Acquire a new company..Builders Choice..its mangement..design team and other employees..With this acquisition the company says it could double revenue projections already made..
http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=42969642&symbol=NO%5EEXPH
5) Forecast total company sales from two to three million dollars from june 2nd until August 31st.
http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=43067897&symbol=EXPH
6) Successfully complete its first delivery of premium quality cabinetry products from the the CIMA line.
http://www.expoholding.com/news.asp
7) Begin to mass produce mdf etc cabinet doors in a wide variety of styles for residential / commercial use with help from the newly acquired BC employees..
http://www.expoholding.com/news.asp
8) Update shareholders with this great news..
"Significant progress regarding Cima brand cabinetry has been made over the past 5 business days. The company continues to ramp up production with an expected $50,000 in shipments to be made in the remainder of this week. The company continues to expect accelerated growth for the next 60-90 business days.."from June 14th..
http://www.expoholding.com/news.asp
9) PR this great news about the shareholder's meeting and when to expect the removal of the stop sign and "current status" being achieved..
"The company expects replacement of the stop icon on pinksheets.com with a yield sign, and further expects a current status to be achieved on or before September 1, 2010."
http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=43237995&symbol=EXPH
10) File a form D which the company was paid $60,000..The shares were bought by two people at Southern Candle at a share price higher than where we are today..
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1386246/000138624610000004/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml
11) Donate work and cabinets to Ebenezer Christian Children's Home..in which the work was greatly appeciated..
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Expo Holdings for your recent act of kindness to our home. Your willingness to assist in the completion of the cabinetry for the Joe Severt Foster Home means more than words could ever say. This home will be a safe place for children in need, and we are so thankful for your kindness in helping to make this home a reality."
Jean Davis, Executive Director
http://www.expoholding.com/news.asp
12) Reset the shareholder's meeting for Sept 15th due to an increased order from LOWES..
"At our shareholders meeting shareholders should be able to view over 20,000 store fixtures in production that are scheduled for use by Lowe’s companies, Inc. Demand for these displays recently increased from just over 2000 units to over 20,000 units. In order to accommodate operational needs, a reschedule of the shareholder meeting was requested and approved."
http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=nmona&article=43430016&symbol=EXPH
13) Give us another great update on orders that total over a half a million dollars in house presently..
"Currently the company’s order file (orders in house) exceeds $500,000, with additional orders pending this week. Production of the company’s products will accelerate over the next 45-60 days as we fulfill orders for such customers as Lowe’s Companies, East Coast Millwork Distributors, GTO Inc., Kronotex, Clarion, Tarkett, Harris Teeter, and notable others."
http://www.expoholding.com/news.asp
and..
14) The company files the second form D..which the company sold shares and was paid $57,500.. Again bought by two people at Southern Candle at a share price higher than where we are now..
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1386246/000138624610000005/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml
Now..it sure looks to me that the little over $100K dilution in shares were shares well spent..The company gave us fair notice that this dilution would happen..I forgot to mention that the company is also paying down debt earlier than scheduled..
I look forward to the stop sign being removed and the new CEO coming on...veno
Really??
"I guess you also know by now that Dean Becker's "office" has been contacted again and 1) they never heard of you or your inquires, 2) referred the caller to the Chicago office for the "current state" of any patent sales progress and 3) suggested the caller contact the owner of the patents in question for future "updates" on their sale"..
Probably because I never talked to Dean Becker's office..LOL..I talked to Dean Becker himself..Looks like you didn't call..The funny part in your post is about calling Chicago..Mr. Becker never once mentioned calling Chicago..He said if you want any further updates to ask Dean Weber and mentioned nothing about Chicago..He did say your first source Mr. Anderson doesn't work for him anymore..
Oh..and if you had called you would know that the number in Forida is his direct line in which he answers..which he did when I called or you can leave a message with him..which I know you didn't..That is because you have no reason to call since you are not an interested party..Being a non-shareholder..you would have to fabricate a reason for doing so..which could be checked on..
Once again he confrimed he was personally handling the sale and once again it is much appreciated for saying that Mr. Becker..
"is no longer involved in promotion or anything but the largest, most lucrative sales since 2009"..
Thanks...veno
