Post # of 6686
DTRO has a note for 3.15 million dollars which became due August 2011.
What I like about the terms of this note is DTRO has the control of when the institution can sell their shares over a period of 3 years.
Most importantly, what financial institution would loan a penny stock that kind of monies and with that agreement if they didn't believe in Deltron especially long term.
my personal opinion
Good point, great post bigfoot!!!
Anybody catch the sell @ .0002 formt @ 1600:23 for 17,800,232 shares?

Did come across some good DD,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I'm not so sure that such is the case here with DTRO. I do not believe that the company is diluting. I have recently spoken to the company and the OS is still 758+ million shares. From my understanding, there have been some restricted shares that had become unrestricted from their 6 month or 1 year time lapse that some have peeled out, but the company is not diluting any shares. If I had to guess, I think such is either done or nearly done to where I believe such will not be any issues in moving forward.
Since DTRO is a fully reporting penny stock trading on the OTCQB, I'm going to take my chances and believe them. Here’s what I see and have learned to believe with DTRO after further doing my due diligence (DD)…
From the article/slideshow below (and from information originating from the DTRO IBox), it was mentioned that the last major General Electric (GE) factory making ordinary incandescent light bulbs in the United States was closing during the month of Sep 2010:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/07/AR2010090706933.html
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/gallery/2010/09/07/GA2010090704577.html?sid=ST2011013003428
Even small through some eyes, it marked a sad exit for a product and company that can trace their roots back to the days of Thomas Alva Edison's and his innovations in the 1870s.
The close of that GE factory was going to cause 200 workers to lose their jobs at the plant here in the US. The operation was moving out of the US to setup operations overseas. As we all know, there has been a huge decline in the US manufacturing jobs to overseas manufacturing over the past few years.
Congress passed an energy conservation measure in 2007 that essentially had set the new standards for banning ordinary incandescent light bulbs by 2014. This new law will force millions of households here in America to switch to more efficient bulbs to be replaced with these new compact fluorescents (CFLs) or Light Emitting Diode (LED) lights.
*********************************************************************************************************
The CFLs
These CFLs are made almost entirely overseas, mostly in China which were first developed by American engineers in the 1970s. These CFLs consists of glass tubes twisted into a spiral which requires more hand labor, which is cheaper overseas. This is the primary reason why none of the major brands make CFLs in the United States.
The LED lights
What Congress passed will save us the consumers, vast savings in energy and greenhouse-gas emissions, but this is also what made the US plants vulnerable for extinction. The average CFL and/or LED uses about 75 percent less electricity to produce the same amount of light. This was serious justification for Congress to move in this direction.
*********************************************************************************************************
Right now GE manufactures their light bulbs in China and Mexico because of the quality and price to do so. Now comes DTRO. If DTRO can prove that it can at least mirror or even better than mirror the quality, then it is believed that GE would much rather go with having their bulbs manufactured in the US to preserve and/or enhance jobs here in the US. I’m guessing that there is a good chance that GE could be the company that DTRO signed a patent agreement with that’s a leading diversified technology company with sales exceeding $20 billion and operations in more than 60 countries. Here’s the piece from the DTRO PR below:

The company has chosen Elasco to provide expertise on the tooling, fixtures, equipment, molding and manufacturing processes of a new product in preparation for mass production. Elasco will also produce working prototypes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can Google a few different ways some of the key words from the DTRO PR above and you would come up with a variety of multi-billion dollar companies of which DTRO could be referring to besides GE. There was info that could have suggested that DTRO was referring to a number of other multi-billion dollar companies of which I had come up with IBM, Cisco, GE, 3M, or Ford from Google searching that could have fit what DTRO mentioned in its PR.
Much of this is centered on the DTRO wholly-owned subsidiary Elasco Urethane which is a profitable engineering and plastics design, molding and manufacturing company:
http://www.elascourethane.com/
I have confirmed with the company that they are in some serious discussions where tests have already been conducted and results are expected to be released any day now. I am inclined to believe that those results are going to be very positive. I recommend investors call the company to confirm for themselves.
Elasco, Inc. has been in business since 1979 and again… is profitable. It has a 7000-square foot facility that provides complete design and manufacturing services, including prototype work, mold and tooling design, manufacturing, polymer mixing and custom casting. The company fuels growth by developing products that can be made lighter and perform better with their polyurethane formulas. Elasco can produce up to 6,000 pounds of polyurethane a day made from the company's proprietary polyurethane blends developed by Elasco urethane chemists.
The importance of this polyurethane is for a variety of reasons as indicated below:
http://www.magnalight.com/pc-47464-2-LED-Blasting-Light--Flood-Light--Magnet-Mount--Polyurethane--25'-63-Cord--5400-Lumen--90-Watt.aspx
http://www.epicresins.com/led.asp
** Polyurethane construction eliminates the need for a ground wire.
** Polyurethane provides superior lamp protections guards against breakage from rough handling and vibration.
** Polyurethane potting and encapsulating compounds help to meet the needs of LED product manufacturers when LED encapsulation is required.
** These LED polyurethane potting compounds are used in applications ranging from automotive lights to LED signs to LED indicators that are incorporated into other products.
** Flexible polyurethane LED potting compounds will seal out moisture and contaminants over a large temperature range.
I’m not sure what Elasco is making in Revenues to be considered profitable as of late, but the link below reflects that Elasco is making anywhere from $20 to $50 million in Annual Revenues:
http://www.manta.com/c/mmjcb8r/elasco-inc
The addresses match from the DTRO/Elasco website below to be the same company within the link above reflecting such Revenues and it states from the link above that the info was updated in 2011:
http://www.elascourethane.com/Contact.html
To further add with DTRO, their other wholly-owned subsidiary is called Blu Vu Life Support Technology:
http://www.bluvudeepbreather.com/
From further researching about this wholly-owned subsidiary of DTRO, there is no technology that’s out there in the market today of the quality of their new Rebreather technology as indicated below:
* Maximum No-Decompression Time
* Extended depth capability
* Stealth No bubbles
* Flying After Diving
* Ship bottom inspections
* Size & weight of equipment package reduced
* Helium consumption minimized
The DTRO Rebreather is superior to anything out there in the market today from what I understand. The current top diving equipment of such retails at about $10,000 per unit. The Rebreather was originally retailing closer to $20,000, but has now been manufacture to be just as good as or better than its original models to where the cost has been cut down to about $12,000 per unit. The military (Navy), police, and many personal divers are well aware of this new Rebreather and can’t wait for the launch of these new machines to be ready and placed into the market. Read below to further understand why I am very confident that DTRO will be closing in on some very serious contracts with their Rebreather:

http://www.bluvudeepbreather.com/armedforced.html
Rebreather Technology and Armed Forces Diving
For decades the military has used rebreathers for a wide range of activities. Typical operational uses include covert access, defusing mines, and specialized covert operations. The post-9/11 environment has seen the use of rebreathers extend from traditional military users to other paramilitary groups focused on anti-terrorism and drug interdiction activities, such as county SWAT teams, Coast Guard, and other harbor monitoring groups. In the decades to come, we can expect both the quantity and scope of activities requiring Rebreather use to increase.
Navy SEALs & EODs
The U.S. Navy has been actively seeking to upgrade and replace the rebreathers in fleet use. While many commercially available units have been tested, none have met the criteria being sought. The U.S. Navy is considering replacement of the units used by both their Special Forces teams, like the SEALs, as well as their Explosive Ordinance Demolition (EOD) units.
Special Forces teams routinely utilize oxygen closed circuit rebreathers when making covert insertions into enemy occupied territory. They also use oxygen rebreathers when planting devices on enemy ship hulls, such as listening or tracking devices, or mines or other explosives. Oxygen rebreathers are used because they are small, light and compact. The problem with these devices is that any time spent below 20 fsw / 6 msw is hazardous, subjecting the user to high risk of seizures from oxygen toxicity. If they had a mixed gas rebreather with similar physical properties, it would significantly increase the safety of some operations. While not yet available, Blu Vu’s technology promises to provide such a solution.
Mixed gas closed circuit rebreathers are often used by military EOD teams to defuse or explode mines. Rebreathers can be manufactured to have low noise and magnetic signatures, and also allow divers to spend hours at depths up to 60 fsw / 18 msw with no decompression penalties, ideal for this type of work. The rebreathers under development by Blu Vu provide these same capabilities, in a much small, lighter, and more reliable package.
History
Finally, mixed gas closed circuit rebreathers have been used in a wide range of covert mission for espionage purposes. One example of this was work to tap telephone cables used by the Soviet Union during the cold war. Divers using rebreathers locked out of submarines at depths of up to 400 fsw / 120 msw to place instrument packages on these cables, allowing United States intelligence units to gather information gleaned from supposedly secure communication sources. Blu Vu equipment is capable of this type of work, with the same advantages of increased depth capability and reduced package size.
Blu Vu Growth: Strategic Partners
Since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001, there has been increased attention paid to anti-terrorism in the United States. Many agencies sharing responsibility for protecting the country’s harbors, oil production facilities, and strategic infrastructure such as bridges are now considering using rebreathers to advance their aims in these endeavors. Some of the agencies, which have approached Blu Vu, include the United States Coast Guard, county Sheriff dive teams, county and local Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams, and other law enforcement groups. Many of these groups have the desire, the will, and ample funding to implement this technology.
Blu Vu is poised at exactly the right moment in time to capitalize on the continuing drive to upgrade and modernize the equipment being used by today’s military and public safety dive teams.
