the crestmark portion wasn't news.
Crestmark approved the customer's credit, not Expo's credit. They would approve any company that Expo submitted to them that had good credit. Still need to have orders in order for expo to get any dollars. As usual no info about any real revenues. All cryptic.
But hey some people fell for it. Good traders profit from it.
As always longs get screwed.

Its not rocket science to deduce the truth.
"One store",lol. You just posted more proof that a 22 million dollar contract wasn't in place. Thanks for that.
Gotta love JD having to pump an unnamed, unproven, old alleged contract.
How do you resume something that wasn't going on in the first place?
Was it a great investment at .008? .007? .005?
Seem to recall reading people say it was...
Hope the new CEO (if that actually happens) doesnt increase the O/S by another 500% like his predecessor.
Thats hilarious.
barely keeping the lights on=holding your own.
Lying on an almost daily basis in PR's, emails, and on CC's=ok
reducing the workforce=increasing it
Sounds like a great investment!
Did I mention that they have diluted by over 500% in 3 years time?
100% TRUE THAT THEY DOUBLED THE O/S. I POSTED THE LINK. WHERE IS THE LINK THAT PROVES THAT THESE SHARES ARE RESTRICTED?
EXPH DOUBLED THE OUTSTANDING SHARE COUNT. UNBELIEVABLE. LOOK OUT BELOW.

i am expecting a big fat number in the "other income" column just like in qtr 1 of 09.
Acquiring companies like luxor provides several opps to reevaluate the inventory.
Certainly they wouldn't be reporting expecting a profit THAT late in the year knowing it wasn't likely??
Well if they followed the first 2 qtrs they could do 1.6 million and post a tiny profit. Big deal. When you see columns like "other income" that go unspecified as to where they came from it is nothing more than penny gamesmanship.
Other income could be inventory adjustments. Very common in pinkyland.
It is one thing to project a contract and another to have the contract delayed due to the economy crashing which you seem to make out as a non-event
Ahhhhh yes the economy excuse. Which time frame do you want to use as the excuse du jour? September 2008? March 2009?
How about explaining how Expo was already in the toilet far before September of 2008? How about explaining how JD can say that Expo "held its own" in 2008 when they lost 940 THOUSAND dollars and only stayed open because of dilution?
How about explaining how JD could be saying that the company was growing and hiring more people when all the while he was reducing labor costs? The headline said "Expo Holdings, Inc. Increases Workforce as Unemployment Rate Hits 5-Year High of 6.1%". It didnt say in the headline plans to, or intends, or any other "outs". It said increases.
Sorry that is lying. That cant be spun. It cant be hidden. It was a lie.
What about saying that you were selling shares to acquire southern candle and had signed a "binding letter" to do so but then not doing it? What did the letter bind them to? Did they return the shares to the treasury?
What about converting to preferred shares to increase shareholder value only to reverse that action?
What about saying over and over no increase in the A/S only to increase it?
What about saying that Karl malone has never sold any shares yet SEC filings prove this statement to be a lie. Not just one filing. Not just two filings. Not just 3. Four filings prove this to be false. That doesn't even touch on the fact that it was obvious other insiders sold also. Oh yeah. Blame shorty.
If things like this happen once or twice, sure they can be explained away by bad luck. 3-4 times maybe some poor judgment. 7-8 times maybe bad luck, poor judgment and stupidity. 11-12 times maybe bad luck, poor judgment, stupidity, and bad market conditions.
However when you release over 100 PR's that are basically nothing but a path that leads to failure and undelivered promises complete with all sorts of misdirection and slight of hand and it can no longer be considered anything but lies.
Oh, gee golly looky looky the PPS reflects it.
Just speaking the truth out loud. Happy Easter to all, except for JD.
Closing stores would indicate to me going through with their plans. They predicted it and they did it.
This was first announced by JD in 2008 when Expo was floundering. The company's revenues were tanking, losses were piling up and JD was PR'ing about huge projects and expanding the workforce all the while Expo was drowning and was only afloat on the backs of shareholders. People try and pretend that he simply got blindsided by the economy, but that is simply not true. There is a much simpler explanation. He simply was lying to everybody. He PR'd in December of 2008 that they would do 3-4 million in the first qtr of 2009. That's a very tiny window to make such an awful projection. 3-4 million yet they only did 500k?
Sure times were tough, but that's not an applicable excuse. Why may you ask? Because in the very same PR's JD was acknowledging the tough times and trying to use it as pump leverage.
Expo Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: EXPH), a holding Company, which wholly owns D&D Displays, Inc., is pleased to announce it plans to more than double its current workforce over the coming months to meet growing demand for its retail displays.
or this...
In this economy, unexpected opportunities must be capitalized upon and we intend to do just that.
Then before releasing the terrible 2008 financials JD released this dishonest piece of trash statement...
"2008 was a tough year, but I am pleased that Expo has been able to hold its own during this very difficult time. Our subsidiary D&D has produced over $400,000 in gross profit during 2008. Gross profit, is a direct result of the company's operational performance."
Hold its own????? Come on. How can he say that when the company lost almost a million dollars? How can he release a statement about gross profit for just a subsidiary? What purpose does it serve other than to be misleading?
Then when the big revenues for the 22 million dollar project never happened he blamed it on a customer and said that they changed their plans. Well does it really seem like Food lion has drastically changed any plans??? The predicted numbers in their filings seem to match the actuals from the next year pretty spot on.
The bottom line here is JD knew all along his company was in big trouble. Its why current holders should be very weary. The guy is releasing the old pumps. Trying to lead people down a path to buy into his hype, instead of looking at the facts.
The facts are simple. This company is cash starved, is hiding their financials, and has a known liar at the helm who just so happens to owe the company more than what they just had to raise through dilution.
Heaven forbid JD himself pay back the money he owes and keep the company from having to sell off shares. How unreasonable, lol.
Now ask yourself what purpose does it serve for JD to abandon his shortlived mantra of only releasing news when it has actually occurred and quickly revert back to old form?
The answer is easy and obvious. He has done it over and over. To sell shares.
Remember when people were pointing out the open 504 and some people were saying it was just a paperwork error? Funny huh how the obvious answer turned out to be true. It was written the way it was on purpose, not an error. They planned on selling more shares all along. That's why it was filed in 2009 and stated it was intended to be used for OVER a year.
Anybody ever wonder how there are so many crazy stories always swirling around? Prank calls to Window World to cancel the deal, prank calls to the TA pretending to be JD, certs that just can't be obtained, paperwork errors with the SEC, NDA's, massive short positions.
I mean come on really? It doesn't take encyclopedia brown or perry mason or heck even Clouseau to figure this one out. Those things are all lies and slight of hand tricks. Look over here while we fleece you over there.
from the 2010... Net increase in US stores for 2009: 13
from the 2009 filing stating plans...This will result in a net increase of between 11 to 16 stores to a total number of between 1,605 and 1,610 stores at the end of 2009.
Could somebody please point out where Food lion's plans changed?
It would seem that they have been right on schedule all along. Constantly meeting their projections in this terrible macro environment we keep hearing about.
My point was just to point out that they did close stores--as some posts in the past stated otherwise
I don't recall reading people saying that they didn't close any stores, could you post a link please?
Actually I do know that it can't run to .10 if it is a billion shares O/S.
And pretending the O/S means nothing is silly.
As far as net income this company doesnt even have accurate financial statements. Net income from them means nothing until we get a chance to see it.
Remember the 1st qtr net income? Oh yeah there wasn't any, but they said there was. Inventory adjustment,lol.
Expo Holdings, Inc. Achieves Major Milestone, Projects $22M in Revenue by 2009
Oooops. Lie.
During a time of downsizing for most manufacturers, increased production and sales is a great statement to hear
Oooops. Lied to a congresswoman.
Delayed because of the customer???
Interesting. From Delhaize's 2008 filing...
Approximately 150 U.S. stores will be remodeled in 2008
then from their 2009 filing...
In 2008, Delhaize Group remodeled or expanded 161 supermarkets in the U.S.
Sounds like their remodeling efforts went on as planned to me...
From their 2009 filing...In 2009, 52 U.S. stores will be remodeled
From their 2010 filing... Additionally, in 2009, Delhaize Group re-opened 53 supermarkets in the U.S. after remodeling or expansion work
Holy cow a company that does what they say even in this macro environment. Who woulda thought that existed?
Maybe they did in fact push away expo when they realized that Expo didn't believe in doing that.
how many times can that same quote regarding a tiny project be posted?
10152 plastic pieces. Yippeeeee,lol.
He lied plenty of times about that whole stanley deal. Tried to make it seem like it was a huge deal and that it was more than one contract even. Bad example to try and prove JD isnt a liar, or did you forget that the 10k unit=stanley which were PR'd to look like two separate orders.
Got any better ones?
Smoke and mirrors?
Ha. Want to make a bet as to what the O/S is when the 10k is filed?
100 million? 200 million? 300 million?
The latest info on the milestone project resumption IS a big deal to me, my opinion.
Can I ask why you believe that JD is being truthful on this update, when he has clearly not been truthful on every other release like this?
Including a few updates already regarding this very project.
JD is a cheat, a snake, a moron, and a bully, but one thing he does know well is how to manipulate. He knows that when he puts out these updates that they will be repeated and used. He wants that. Thats why in the past he signed off on paying for message board posts.
These "updates" should be treated as lies until proven otherwise, not the other way around. Expo has used up all of its credit in that department.
Nobody is scoffing at clarity.
I will take a link please.
If financials come out and they are less than 6 million (which we all know is the case) are people not allowed to point out that JD said over and over EVEN INTO 2010 that they were going to do 6 million just because they have been asking for transparency?
That is pretty disingenuous.
THE NEWS OUT BY JDB IS ABSOLUTELY FLUFF
Its not even fair to call it news anymore. It was just a rerun of an old lie.
I will be anxious to see if the price drops again on Monday or if we get a new update that says "Southern Candle acquisition valued at .04 cents per share and is back on after a delay."
i said months back .. transparency is
only wanted .. until it's been given
this statement is untrue. I dont hear anybody saying I wish they would gag the TA again. Transparency is wanted always by everybody, well except for JD and GH of course.
Are people not allowed to be disappointed by the poor results that this company always hides and releases very late?
The comment about the AS being raised to 5 billion whether it be post plit adjusted or just an actual raised and diluted has more merit than anything JD ever says.
Do these people that cry conspiracy all day every day realize what an army of people it would take to perform what it is they speak of all the time?
But they arent. Therein lies the rub as always.
Expo throws around big names repeatedly yet never really posts anything to back it up. Not sure what they call that where you live but where I com from it is called BS.
I can only hope that new buyers dont get suckered by regurgitated "news" from 2008.
It didnt happen then. It won't happen now. Expo has NEVER completed any of these huge contracts or deals and it NEVER will.
100 million? Nope.
22 million? Nope.
12 million? Nope.
4million? Nope.
How about they shoot for releasing what the big 10k unit order was for. You know, the plastic inserts for Stanley door hardware that went into Lowe's? Oh yeah,1692 stores for a total of 10,152 units sounds better than saying hey we PR'd this thing over and over and it turns out it was for a whopping total of 200,000 bucks.
How much can a 6in x 30inch piece of plastic cost?
OMG Stanley was happy with their plastic pieces!!! To da moon!
the market cap probably will go up.
The PPS probably wont.
At least JD paid back 600 bucks in 2nd quarter 2009. At that rate he will have it repaid in about 60 years!!!
Wow. The integrity and character is amazing.
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? Yes [ ] No [x]
Would this mean that they arent likely to report any revenues?
Wouldnt that qualify as significant?
an even better question is how do you resume something that never happened?
Of course he knew. When he logged in to trade today he saw he couldn't trade, lol.
JD wanted to release news and not have people sell into it or he is just scamming some private investor.
This milestone project is a joke. It always has been and always will be.
OMG right there in black and white!!! Yep. Right there for everybody to see that Expo PR's are nothing more than hopes and dreams.
I win this argument every time because the facts and results have never backed up what was put in print. Never. All people have to do is go back to all the PR's and learn the lesson.
http://www.marketwire.com/mw/search.do?action=next¤tPage=4¶ms=expo%20holdings&grpSearch=C&companyid=31249&lastDateTime=2008-05-21%2013:45:00&lastReleaseId=859597
Its all tall tales. All of it. Everything from mentioning the same deals over and over in different ways to big fake numbers to fake acquisitions to fake buybacks to clarifications that dont clarify anything to uplists that never happen to the stop sign being removed to a number of other things.
This company is just a sham to sell stock.
What I find interesting is that it is completely obvious and yet other mysterious forces are always blamed.
Until there is an actual posting of revenues any PRs should be treated as lies as well as their regurgitations.
Nothing more, nothing less.
JD must be trying to get some private placement sealed up today, releasing old news on a closed day.
Hope his shares aren't restricted so he can get out fast.
The company expected 100 million from one customer too. Didnt mean doodoo.
I love that JD is completely out of pump material that he is going back into the well for oldies.
What's next?
A new retail store? That retail store PR was still my favorite of all time.
The retail location specializes in TV, direct print and direct to consumer advertising. Most of the sales by this retail home improvement location occur after a consumer has seen the advertisement and calls for an in-home demo. Our intention is to also capitalize on the in-home finance option through its existing relationship with American General. The locations purchasing decisions are mostly made by women. It would be our intent to use this location as our model store and training facility."
Talk about throwing a bunch of random thoughts into a paragraph. My favorite was how the purchasing decisions were made by women. Who throws that in there all by itself with no further explanation??? JD of course,lol.
that will still be a conspiracy though...
lmao
Did he try restricted shares next?
after hours bid and ask mean nothing.
particularly enjoyed the .96 cent *trade* to close *EXPH* even
Probably JD.
There will be plenty of times that the PPS will double once this gets into trip zeros. Stocks down at that level are volatile.
Long term though this thing is as risky as they come.
Heck, Expo already did it. Back in September.
baloney. I will take a link.
Thats technically not true.
While it could only drop another 1/8th of a penny for any current holder, the company can certainly bilk investors for far more than 1/8th of 1.1 billion shares.
All they have to do is R/S a few times and keep dumping and they can certainly rip people off for far more than $1,320,000.
That's the worst part of all of this. It basically never ends.
What was it Forrest Gump always said about stupid?
Stupid is as JD does?
show me a company that continually files late and hides it's O/S like ARTS and yes, you will have a pathetic company.
Point B is a reverse split or another A/S increase.
Share sales don't ever dry up on these things. Symbol changes, r/s, etc etc. Its like a never ending well. Its sickening. The SEC needs to crack down on these crap companies.
