Bingo.... the wizards of Wilkesboro need a few things: ... no attempts to pierce the corporate veil are successful...leaving the actual Expo Holdings shell free and clear of the D&D Displays legacy of debt....and of course the two clowns need to expunge themselves of all the bad D&D debt as well......
I think the "new" face of EXPO if all goes as planned will be a combination of perhaps Hartley(Cima) and David Koran??
Things will stay quiet for a bit longer....step 1 of cleaning the shell was disposing of D&D Displays debt......step 2 will be a massive reverse split.......then it's back to business....selling shares......we'll hear wonderful things about Cima and of course the Pet Product division...LOL..... The insiders need additional time to make sure the shell(EXPH) doesn't get dragged into any unpaid D&D Displays judgments/disputes.....and of course financial judgments against JD and Glenny boy need closure as well IMO......
Best case: All current non-insiders will be "cleansed" of their shares via the reverse split IMO
Worst case: See Best Case
Cima is part of Expo Holdings...not D&D Displays.
It is nothing more than a TWICE bankrupted countertop/cabinet shop and IMO will used in an attempt revive the Expo Holdings shell......AFTER a MASSIVE reverse split of course....insiders holding preferred shares will be able to reload at no cost to them.
Yes SBB....D&D Displays is no more...IMO..the final D&D Displays act is being played out.....it's being used as a pawn to snare $180K in "grant" money...LOL
I think a little research is in order regarding JD's brief foray into "D&D Metalworks & Powder coating".......perhaps this was another jobs for grant money ruse which seemingly never got off the ground???
mahat.....Nafe knows his way around the "grant" and distressed property game.
IMO he MOST definately is taking advantage of the situation.
After all....he "bought" the Shaver Street facility from JD.. collected enough rent by my calculations to recoup roughly 65% of what he paid for the facility....JD skimmed the rest via Wilkes Holdings IMO.
IMO...I think Nafe will take the Grant money ... I do not think Nafe will sink any of his own funds into making the former D&D Displays a viable entity...he'll bleed whatever grant money he can con the County out of...then cut and run.....much like he did in Indiana with the former Meredith Hotel...I believe he let that go back via back taxes to avoid paying certain clean-up fees.
mahat..... this nothing less than a money grab.....why on earth would Nafe need funds to renovate a building in order to produce displays?? He already owns the Shaver Street facility.
"T- squared"......classic example of misinformation designed to unload shares.....add to that claims of:
"*Bid sitting*"-- an utter JOKE
"*Diversification*"-- this despite proof positive showing many of the Doghouse retailers to be abandoned businesses closed for years.
absolutely SHAMEFUL
You are correct as usual:
Donna= Harrs' wife
Michelle= JD's wife
speaking of *tips*....
a certain *entity* constantly stated that EXPH was *REMARKABLY* transparent!! How in the world could *anyone* claim that this company was *REMARKABLY* transparent?? Thanks ever so much in advance.
whatever...
as i posted earlier
there are several layers
of an onion(EXPH)
the deeper the onion
is *peeled*
the smellier it gets..
in particular... the enablers who
er..kept this scam going
enablers who posted glowing reports
espousing rather sparkling views
of not only the dying company..*also*
*some* testified to the sterling
character of JD and Glenny "boy"
and these *rave* reviews continued....
despite knowing full well that Glenny "boy"
and JD robbed the company
blind in the form of "loans"
And knowing full well that JD
sold off the land and buildings
resulting in the rent factor
going from roughly 60K per year
to an ASTOUNDING $177K per year
and of course Wilkes Holdings was
created by JD to funnel rent money
into the pockets of JD BROWN
why was all of this IGNORED by *SOME*????????????????????
Indeed... opinions are not illegal....however colluding with certain *entities* via a message board could INDEED be construed as *illegal*...
and by the way..... collusion in this regard would not be limited to actual Expo Holdings *employees*....you see...layers are created by *certain* entities....layers which are constructed with the sole purpose of avoiding *DISCLOSURE*......
I think *you* and others will see this subject brought public rather ...er...*soon*
It can also be said that there is nothing funny about *enabling* stock selling scams via message board posts. In fact..... it is shameful! Don't you agree? TIA
WSR Research report?? LOL
Just in case it slipped your mind....
WSR founder Gerald Kieft was fined and banned by Finra for among other things publishing unbalanced and exaggerated "Research Reports"......LOL
WSR was paid in shares!
Those pesky rascals .. The market makers!
2 Quick question.... Do market makers ever change their names?
and.....if so...why?
Wow!!...just think.....if WDKA can follow the same path as DKAM the stock will be trading at .0039 per share with a reverse split pending!
Priceless!
The information is contained in filings.
60 thousand shares .... so far.
It will not "run up"......it will RUN DOWN.
Bongiovanni sold a portion of his shares for under 5 cents per share....and he holds additional shares.
Those that bought via recent PP's did so at 25 cents and a few at 50 cents per share...
WSR and others were provided shares for "services"....once the pump hits the selling starts.
Huh??... "adjusted"?...... the ENTIRE campaign preaches CHEAP-CHEAP Price.....unfortunately they have boxed themselves into a branding campaign which ensures LOSSES..... losses that are being funded via the upcoming pump.... the more they sell..the more they LOSE......meaning the WODKA brand will not grow itself out of the red and into the black.....typical otcbb story...a failing private business with a broken business model now being funded on the backs of the unsuspecting public....this will be well under a dollar per share real SOON.....then...when the additional $1 million dollars needed for 2012 comes due......well...I think we all have seen this act before....insiders and those buying in at DEEP DEEP discounts via PP's reap the rewards at the expense of those who buy the hype and hold long.
Drink up!!!
Bacardi and/or BEAM would be interested in a Brand(Wodka) that is priced to FAIL?? Really? LOL
The WODKA branding campaign is now over TWO YEARS OLD....the main selling point hammered in this campaign was and STILL is --Quality vodka at a CHEAP price... in other words PRICE-PRICE-PRICE ....and the price point they are attempting to build this Brand with is a MONEY LOSING exercise....the MORE you sell...the MORE you lose.....Panache operates on a shoestring yet still loses money hand over fist due to the poor margins
It is the exact OPPOSITE of what happened with the 42 Below Brand....the 42 Below model was built to eventually make a profit... and because of this the 42 Below Brand was an attractive acquisition target.
LOSSES INCREASED....and will continue to increase due in part to POOR profit margins.
The Alchemia brand.... according to the filing....carries a larger profit margin....and Alchemia sales are dying on the vine.
Sales of Alchemia Vodka.... per the latest filing....
DECLINING.
Do some homework on Mr. Bongiovanni...the patterns are obvious...
and again...2 transactions..the purchase of the shell and Bongiovanni selling PERSONAL shares.....
Bongiovanni= Greentree, Gaurdian Registrar and transfer.
His stepson- Mr. Cottone also is in possession of shares.
Do you think either one will hold long?? LOL
or what about Columbus partners and Wall street resources? Long and strong?
And the PP shares at DEEP discount-(20 cents and 50 cents)?? In strong hands?? LOL
And of course the need to access an additional $1 Million for 2012?? How many discounted shares are necessary for that little exercise?? Given the coming collapse of the share price...OUCH!
Company is losing money hand over fist. Lousy margins
Ok..... I look forward to it.
History??...no way. Bongiovanni plays??....History says just the OPPOSITE.
Solid base at $1.75 ?? Nothing could be further from the truth.
Really?? Based on WHAT?? TIA
Do you know how many millions of shares have been sold at a HUGE discount? Do you know when they become free trading? LOL
discounted shares......in the 20 to 50 cent range.....will not be held long term IMO.....thats just the way it works here...but YOU already know that...don't you? LOL
Do you How many additional shares have been given out for..."services"?? LOL
Company is losing money hand over fist......according to the last 10Q an additional $1 Million is needed for 2012.....as the PPS drifts downward additional private placement shares will be sold for less than the amount above.....get it?
The cost of the SHELL was booked at $75K......
So Bongiovanni selling his PERSONAL shares for under 5 CENTS per share was a separate transaction....why did Mr. Bongiovanni sell his PERSONAL shares for under 5 CENTS per share?? Do you think Mr. Bongiovanni is stupid? I DON'T
No money to be made here at these levels...IMO.....the only peeps making money have bought at a HUGE DISCOUNT....or have acquired shares...for certain..."services"....know what I mean?? TIA
"newly public".......far cry from "START UP".
The company is losing money hand over fist and will continue to do so.....they went public in order to enrich insiders at no risk to themselves......unfortunately ..THAT IS WHAT THIS ARENA IS FOR.
Ouch.....private placement shares were sold for 50 cents per share.....some for 20 cents per share.......and the 10Q clearly stated the need to raise roughly $1 Million dollars for 2012.... that amounts to a rather LARGE bundle of discounted shares being "privately" placed ......
Michael Bongiovanni(Greentree, and previous insider of the shell) sold a block of 2.6 million shares for under 5 CENTS per share in August of this year......Mr. Bongiovanni is a very bright man and understands the OTCBB game. He also was a co-founder of Gaurdian Registrar and Transfer.......hmmm.... is Gaurdian the T/A here?
to be fair....there was a block of shares that went to Wall Street Resources factored at $1.70 per share...however these shares were passed to Wall Street Resources for services to be rendered(not cash)....the usual pump and dump services..."newsletters"- "email campaign"...."research report"....PR's.....
Wall street resources founder is Gerald Kieft....he caught the wrath of regulators a few years ago for, among other things, publishing a less than accurate research report...oops!
good luck!
This is NOT a start up. Alchemia Vodka has been around for years...Alibi Bourbon has been around for YEARS....Panache has been around for YEARS.... Wodka Vodka has been around for years and per the recent 10Q suffers from POOR profit margin....
Nope...this is NOT a start up....just another red ink bleeding private company set up to bleed NON-INSIDER shareholders dry.
Looks like Mr. Dale may have over-stepped the boundaries of decency and was forced to pull billboards after complaints of anti- semitism... oops!
2012 will be a year filled with dilution!!
per the 10Q - "we anticipate we will need an additional $1 Million for the year 2012:... OUCH.....
Per the 10Q- many shares have been issued at a pps of .20 (20 CENTS!!!)..... another $1 Million dollars worth at a PPS of .20 ..
OUCH!!
Bleeding red ink, need new sheep to fund the branding campaign... then POOF!
NEWS!!! Losses ... Big-time LOSSES!!! ADDITIONAL LOSSES of over 1 MILLION DOLLARS - 9 months ended year o/year!!
Previous year(2010) 9 months ended 9/30/2010 -LOSSES $434,147
This year (2011) 9 months ended 9/30/2011 -LOSSES $1,464,098
??...."the SEC damaged investors by canceling the stock"?
The SEC gets Involved AFTER misconduct ... anyone trading or holding shares of a SCAM operation have only the scammers to blame....or perhaps themselves... not the SEC.
The message isn't one of "celebration". The message was and is clearly one of EDUCATION.
LOL....not hardly.
The agreement also included a stipulation which states there had to be no less than 50K in cash in the operating account...meaning you believe the "shell"/company was "SOLD" for 75k ?? LOL.
Nope....bongiovanni sold his shares for less than 5 cents per share......Mr. Bongiovanni is not a stupid man.
Looks like the super Q is late....go figure!
"They"??...it wasn't "THEY" who sold shares for under 5 CENTS per share.....it was Bongiovanni. What was the PPS listed at when Bongiovanni sold a block of shares to Mr. Dale for under 5 CENTS per share? LOL....priceless!
"still selling".....Mr. Dale sold shares in late August...in private transactions for 50 CENTS per share...so yes....it would appear shares are available at a DEEP discount if bought directly from the company.
Typical stinky pinky pattern...insiders prosper while those buying on the open market and HOLDING
...LOSE.
Call Mr. Dale if you want shares via 'private sale'.... he's sold shares 'privately' at a DEEP discount....and even better yet...call Bongiovanni....he still has shares...and he 'sold' a good chunk of his in a 'private' transaction for under 5 cents per share.
Is this the same #?

You make an excellent point SBB..... why else would *some* people make utter fools of themselves by recommending a - *3-5* year hold - or state over and over again- "company operating at break even".... ?? Discounted shares- absolutely!
Didn't *someone* actually state...over and over again that EXPH was *remarkably transparent? LOL
Or how about the good old- *multiple connections* to LOWES-on *many* levels!
And of course no mention of tax liens, supplier lawsuit or bank lawsuit.....nah....instead the *focus* was on the *new* CEO and balance sheet clean-up!
And don't forget the *Diversification*.....the Pet product line! LOL...or "No new dilution" even after it was pointed out several times that JD and Glenn could no longer dilute due to the tax liens and lawsuits!! Absolutely stunning!
and the recent posting of the monthly trades!! Why would *someone* post such nonsense? Discounted shares- absolutely!
