i believe quarterly #'s are due by 1/15
weird. either web error (unlikely) or something else in works.
we need more news to say for sure.
a significant step in the right direction
they said in prior PR's that they were working on the international distribution and they followed through.
technicals point south but sentiment could improve dramatically if this DRTV test has a higher MER and they subsequently get into retailers, more catalogs, and international.
of course only time will tell.

Here's the website for ETEV's MLM arm of it's business:

can you use your ER Doc skills to do surgery on TSHO's stock price?
New 8-K:
Item 8.01.
Other Events
As previously disclosed on January 4, 2011, Ethos Environmental, Inc. (“Ethos” or “Company”) and Regeneca International, Inc. (“Regeneca”), a Nevada corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of December 14, 2010 with respect to a business combination transaction. The Agreement and Plan of Merger was attached as exhibit 2.1 to the 8-K filed on January 4, 2011. Item 5.2 from this exhibit stated that, subject to approval by the Stockholders of the Company, the Company would execute a one-for-thirty (1:30) reverse stock split. While the Company reserves the right, subject to approval by the Stockholders of the Company, to execute a reverse stock split, the Company does not, at this time, intend to execute a reverse stock split as set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger.
i am hoping that since we're currently on the "ground", that we'll be looking up from here, LOL.
Ethos went public via reverse merger w/ Victor Industries, I believe it was in 2006. Ethos used to issue quarterlies but stopped in 2009. I'm not sure what their revenues were.
Looking forward to seeing progress with this new entity. Seems Regeneca has a capable management team.
anybody know what Regeneca's annual sales are?
up 36% with just $4,000 of buying pressure. if this thing gets into retailers look out!
this is the product repositioning that the retailers wanted. otherwise they wouldn't have taken the time and money to do it. it's been under way it appears since the summer, when Paul Curhan came on board, and they partnered with ARG Manufacturing. ARG is their link into the retailers from what they said in the PR's.
re-branding should help improve MER for the DRTV campaign as it's a less offensive name (to some) and they have to obviously go back "on TV" with the new branding before they re-approach retailers to get this "as seen on TV" product on the shelves.
the last year has not been fun but things could be about to turn around. in my opinion that's where things stand.
good luck to all!

now that the relationship is apparent between the 2 firms, i think it is prudent to have those discussions here, as this impacts both companies.
i didn't initially understand the connection, but i've learned quite a bit in the last couple days thanks in large part to these posts.
only gave back 10% after 100% gain yesterday.
it'll be interesting to see what unfolds over next few months
you don't have much time left to buy your shares rat!!!
clock's ticking!
shouldn't this conversation be on the VIVK board? it pertains to VIVK shareholders, and not really to ETEV shareholders.
i like the new infomercial a lot better. it's more professional and isn't the pitch persion on other infomercials? she looks familiar.
hopefully this gets on TV soon and in retailers shortly thereafter!!!
imo it's more sustainable if it happens over time as opposed to a big one day gap.
ETEV traded 2.4MM shares on 8/3/09 on no news. ETEV traded 1.6MM shares on 11/23/09 which was the date of the proposed merger with Youngevity. That proposed fell through last June.
this merger is a done deal so not sure why it only went up 100% on 1.8MM volume. but it's just day 1 since the merger so we'll see i suppose.
slmu has 175 followers on iHub, ETEV still just has 10
in other words, nobody knows about this new combined entity yet. it'll probably take it a bit to build momentum...
if the $40 million in sales is legit (and who knows), i wonder how many years that encompasses
great news. anybody have an idea what the regeneca sales and ethos sales have been over last couple of years?
i hope you're right. no PR's by company since June. need some sign of life to give this a jump start again.
poor old rat, please don't be such a grinch. Christmas will still come for the Whos in Whoville. yes, the gift is on backorder and won't be delivered until 2011, but this investor still believes that g-Spout (now WonderPour) can still be a successful product. the re-branding has been in the works for months if you look at the PR's and when they applied for WonderPour trademark. it just takes time, especially for these 1st couple products.
to me, this name seems to be much more retailer-friendly than the g-Spout name.
TSHO filed for the WonderpourTM back in Sept.
So this has been in the works longer than I initially thought.

it's about time for some meaningful news. Been 6 mos since last PR.
interesting. perhaps something is going on here. hasn't been news since Youngevity merger fell through in June. maybe something else is now in the works.
Where's rufustherat? He's probably been busy buying shares this week. He scared people out of their shares using half truths. Once it got down to .05 he got quiet it seems.
Nice to close at .10. Never thought i'd be glad to see a double digit close.
Need some news to show more progress.
Great post! Mods, please add #15557 as a sticky.
It's easy to forget with the ASC stuff that the company has been making progress.
This post of Pirate's is something that could continue to be updated over time as TSHO has more developments and shows more progress.

Luniel is not the only employee. He's also not the one that will most directly impact sales. That's likely to be Paul Curhan. Paul has the experience they needed with regards to getting products to market. I'll re-post the PR:
BELLEVUE, WA, July 30, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The Tradeshow Marketing Company, Ltd. (Pink Sheets: TSHO), a direct sales company that represents and markets unique consumer products in direct response TV (DRTV) and trade show demonstration sales environments, announced it has hired Paul Curhan as Vice President of Marketing and Product Management. Curhan will develop and lead Company initiatives driving all aspects of product management, brand development and market commercialization.
"We are very pleased to welcome Paul to the Tradeshow Marketing team where he will lead our product development efforts in order to increase our commercialization capabilities and grow sales in multiple channels," said Luniel de Beer, President and CEO of Tradeshow Marketing. "Paul brings a broad range of skills and experience including leadership in brand and product management roles for packaged goods, retail, e-commerce and direct marketing companies. He has a comprehensive understanding of the key factors for success in consumer lifestyle products and a successful record developing marketing initiatives to drive revenue. His experience includes results-driven product initiatives at both early stage "lifestyle marketing" and global companies such as Procter & Gamble, Kellogg Company, Starbucks, Amazon.com and X10.com."
Curhan served most recently as Chief Marketing Officer of Crayons Beverages, a developer and marketer of all-natural fruit juice drinks for children. He created comprehensive marketing campaigns including traditional and social media as well as grass roots initiatives broadening retail distribution to include more than 3,000 stores nationwide. Prior to Crayons Beverages, he served as senior vice president of marketing for X10 Wireless Technology, a successful consumer security camera product sold on television and online. At X10, he negotiated television media partnerships and implemented merchandising programs to drive increased sales and higher customer purchase rates. His experience also includes leading Amazon.com's expansion into the Japanese and Canadian markets, including driving site traffic, new customer acquisition and brand development, as well as leading the development and launch of Starbucks Coffee's consumer products division. Curhan was also head of marketing for Pyramid Breweries, where he built successful multi-channel strategies that resulted in the company being the top growth craft beer brand.
"I am excited to join the Tradeshow Marketing team and begin rapid development of the current products for enhanced market opportunities," said Curhan. "Tradeshow has established a unique platform to work closely with developers to bring products to market in multiple sales channels. I look forward to bringing new product opportunities to the Company and enhancing our capabilities toward greater success."

SOURCE Tradeshow Marketing Company Ltd.
Good to hear. Thanks.
i hope i am right too. That's why i added "If you believe the LTD Commodities sales will continue". i believe they will continue, though it won't be like clockwork.
though future confirmation of sales will be reassuring. and actual additional sales from other sources and getting this ASC thing behind us are what we really need.
Though the $390,000 was essentially in 1 quarter. If you believe the LTD Commodities sales will continue, you could multiply those to-date G/S catalog sales by 4. So roughly .16 - .24 pps.
That's before we hopefully get some retailers, other catalogs for U/S and G/S. Who knows, maybe they still move G/S to a broader DRTV campaign.
I'm sure the ASC stuff is a distraction, and it's the reason we went from the .20s to where we are today.
But there's no reason they can't continue to execute their business plan.
i don't remember the exact quote, nor do i know if he was physically there. i just remember him saying during the 6/11/10 investor conference something along the lines of (and this is just from memory) RR show and shows such as that tend to have high following by consumers. Huge viewership on this product. Will continue to be part of their marketing effort to get on shows like RR.
I took that to mean they had a great experience.
If you have the time, perhaps re-listen to that investor conference. it's on TSHO's website. i might try to as well at some point in next week.
I just watched the Rachael Ray segment last night (I DVR’d it).
For those who haven’t seen this, you need to watch it. Several things stuck out to me:
Rachael Ray’s overall take: This sucker really moves, huh? Saves $$ on paper towels, super green, saves time.
Tester’s take: Lady testing it didn’t use it right the 1st time, but after she used it for a minute, she got the hang of it and really liked it. She said it took a bit of practice to learn how to use squeegee if you haven’t used one, but it gets the grime off outside windows and shower, and really cleans well. At one point she said the squeegee cut her cleaning time in half. At another point she said this window used to take me 15 minutes. It took her less than a minute with the U/S according to the footage.
Rachael Ray’s exact quote: “In NY, we need to have professionals come, because if you’re high up, you can’t get to the outside of your window. You can lean out a NY window and go like that. Ha, ha, ha (as she demoed the squeegee). I’m not suggesting that New Yorkers lean out their windows from really high places trying to get spots off their window, but I’m a bit of a daredevil and I’m going to try it. I sound like an infomercial too. I’m going to have to have my own disclaimers.”
It was clear from watching the segment that Rachael loved this product!! Tradeshow needs to leverage the heck out of this exposure. I remember Luniel saying during the 6/11/10 investor conference that they had a great time shooting Rachael Ray. Leverage those relationships that they built with Rachael Ray. They need to not let the ASC stuff slow them down. Use it as motivation, combined with the great review on Rachael Ray and get this in front of retailers. Tap into her NYC network and get some sales aready!
Remember, they now have an experienced individual in Paul Curhan who has the background they needed in this area. That frees up Luniel, I would think, to focus getting through the ASC stuff and Paul can work on retailers.
Mods, please add post #14609 back as a Sticky.
Why was this post by Pirate removed from the Sticky board?
It's a great summary of the good things that have happened in recent months.
With all the negativity on this board it's easy to forget that this company continues to make progress.
Just a matter of time, I believe, before they get some retailers in place.
NextStage1
There's so much misinformation on this board it's pathetic.
According to SEC filings, Luniel has never sold any shares of either company. Yes, he's the largest holder of PBEC, but so what. As far as SM promoting both companies that Luniel is part of, i was disappointed that PBEC was SM's next pick, but always attributed it to SM not being able to find, or too lazy to find, any other companies.
I am not at all sticking up for SM in any way, but if TSHO was at $2 and PBEC at $3 none of this would be going on. I will say that if SM did all of those things, they should be punished.
Also, Luniel DID NOT buy TSHO from Kirk. That's comical! It's a public company!!!
You know what that means? You know who bought TSHO from Kirk? You and I. As he's selling, we're buying!!!!!!!!!! LOL
I continue to believe that this investigation is about manipulation by SM of the stock. It has NOTHING to do with the business side of TSHO. The actual business is now further along than it's ever been and I continue to hold and add.
NextStage1
Boston, what was your overall impression from the conversation of TSHO's involvement in the SEC investigation, if you don't mind me asking?
Also, please clarify this statement from your post "it seemed to be quite the coincidence that Luniel Debeer acquired TSHO from The elder Kirk and that he was also the largest shareholder for the other company that Skymark promoted. "
I was pretty sure you were referring to Kirk as being the largest shareholder but wasn't sure if i mis-read it.
Thanks.
just my understanding, i could be wrong.
Quarterlies are due 45 days after quarter end. Annuals are 90 days after quarter end. 8/30 extension request was with regard to quarterly (hence 15 day extension). So the 5 day language on the extension was probably just standard language and not applicable.
maybe they have to double check with ASC, or are being extra careful, since this whole thing is so vague with ASC.
Please keep this in mind re: filings
The report due on 9/14 was their Annual Report for the period ending 5/31/10. Based on what they've said in their PR's regarding catalog sales these won't begin to be recognized until Quarter ending 8/31/2010...
Per the 8/10/2010 PR: "Tradeshow expects to recognize revenue ramp associated with the initial and follow-on g-Spout catalog orders in the Company's first and second fiscal quarters of 2011 ending August 31 and November 30, 2010, respectively."
SO... perhaps they did meet the deadline yesterday for annual report (just hasn't been posted to website yet), as it takes a few days.
AND REASON FOR PR DELAY... is that they want to get the 8/31/10 quarterly report done, which is the 1st quarter that G/S catalog sales to date will be partially recognized. JMO
SO, once 8/31/10 quarterly is done, they'll maybe combine Annual, Quarterly, and Rachael Ray into 1 PR.
ANOTHER THOUGHT... they may be concerned righ now with being "too promotional" right now with their PR's given ASC. Once they're hopefully removed from case, then perhaps they'll be more "real time" so to speak with their PR's. They've been real time in the past, so perhaps they're either (1) a bit skiddish or (2) very busy with RR, working towards G/S retail launch, etc.
Just some thoughts...
