That is very odd. I would call office and tell them that no one has gotten back to you. Then ask to speak with the CEO. They will put you through. Many people here have spoken with the company and the CEO. I can tell you from personal experience that they are very responsive so you being ignored is very strange. You might also try sending message via facebook. They are pretty good as well. Let us know if you get a response?
I am not sure why anyone would imply that Hygieia is out of product and no longer selling. I just went on my amazon account, searched "hygieia", Thye came up first in the search, and was able to complete an order for a 3 pack and 12 pack of white socks as well as a 12 pack of black socks.
I also went to company website and am able to by 3, 6 and 12 pack of both colors! The company obviously prefers to sell from their website, probably so they dont have to sacrifice part of their margin to Amazon fees.
I will of course let everyone know when I receive my orders from Amazon and the company. FYI, I already received confirmation notifications from both Amazon and the company about my orders being on the way. The company seems to have their act together with order processing. Clearly some time was invested in making their back-end run smoothly.
I understood part of that but didnt know to what extent these other guys were involved in other bad stuff
Oh, ok. Thank you. That makes sense now. These guys seem to do this a alot and Umbra was just another one that fell for it guess.
Some DD that one of my guys found that we are trying to verify. I am still looking into all this so we dont know if its the same guys that were part of the company years ago but if this is them then this is actually concerning. If anyone here can help please share it with the rest of the board. Thanks.

We also found numerous companies (appear to be shell companies) with their names on them in a few states. We are compiling a list of those to verify as well. I will shares those with everyone when done.
Also noticed that Intrepid Energy was removed from UATG website. Does anyone know when they did that? I looked into intrepid energy and found Intrepid Innovations Corp. Interestingly enough I found Chuck Winters and Justin Herman claim to be the CEO of the company (LinkedIn) during the same time period until present. Not sure how that works? If anyone has any info on this that could help please let me know. I did find another board on iHub about another company they were supposedly involved with but have not been able to confirm it. To be honest I am hoping I cant confirm it because its not good!
I just hope these guys are not a part of UATG anymore.
I agree but we are still in Q1 and a letter just came out a month ago so I wouldnt expect an update this soon. Maybe in a few weeks? hopefully.
The CEO of UATG has said a few times that he was going to streamline releases of products to be more efficient. He said he was going to do one thing at a time to ensure things went smoothly and mistakes were corrected instead of trying to do many things at once which he felt would ensure that many more mistakes would be made. This is not new information and he on more than one occasion addressed clearview and aegis.
Not easy to do but now you have me confused. I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to say. lol
I actually discussed this with him on a phone call several weeks or months ago (I can not remember when). Pretty sure I put a post up about it that included the pins and clearview. Anyway, he said they would be released together meaning that clearview or the "kit" it comes in would include the aegis pins instead of the stainless pins they use to come with. He said he wasnt sure if it would be released in 2019 or 2020 because he didnt think it was a good idea to try and launch too many products at once. There are expenses associated with launching a product that go beyond just making a widget. I am pretty sure I put something up that actually explained all that now that I think of it. I will look for it later and try to repost it.
Not sure that I understand your reference? The Greek calendar was initially designed in accordance with the seasons of the year to reflect the farming calendar. In the Greek calendar there are 12 months and 7 days and no month with more than 30 days which would mean that the calendar year would be shorter. Are you now implying that UATG is actually moving quicker?
Again, the details matter.
Good morning everyone. I had an email waiting for me when I got into the office this morning. Mr Umbra replied to an email I sent him inquiring about release dates on new products and timeline for uplist. I am not going to post the entire email for obvious reasons. Basically he said that they will begin releasing the new products in the "coming weeks" and they will not come out all at once. The HP ankle socks will be the fist to come out beginning with the mens HP ankle socks, then the womens HP socks will follow. Crew socks will follow the womens line and then the boxers followed by the pillow. Let me stress that "THE ORDER OF RELEASE MIGHT CHANGE DEPENDING ON MARKETING RESULTS, SALES (INTERNATIONAL & DOMESTIC), INVENTORY AND OTHER FACTORS". He did not capitalize that statement, I did because I know how some on the board might conveniently overlook this detail and attempt to use it for whatever reason (one of the reasons I was reluctant to post any information pertaining to the letter, why I decided not to paste whole letter and probably why PNS has taken a leave of absence from the board like Gordo and others). Mr. Umbra addressed the sheets as well but was clear that he may decide to launch those next year because of other commitments the company has this year. He has simplified their fulfillment processes and inventory management as well as learned from last years holiday season, which is why he does not want to over commit the company this year (I am paraphrasing here). He also responded to my questions about uplisting. He said the company has always been intended to uplist but challenges in the past delayed them from doing so. The company now, "3 years later is better positioned to view this objective as a reality". He also wrote, "we have made significant progress towards our intentions to up-list the company, which I believe has increasingly become more apparent to those shareholders who have been watching and annotating the change in certain metrics". "we still have some work to do but we are closer now than we have ever been and the final pieces of the puzzle, as it were, are being put in place. The company has had significant challenges to overcome, both internally and externally sourced. We have successfully met and overcome those challenges directly albeit not always as expeditiously as we would have liked. Such is the nature of the capital markets, manufacturing, retail, research and development". He also acknowledged "delays, shortcomings and disappointments" but basically said they have and continue to make the necessary changes to ensure that these issues become less frequent. He said he understands that you can not plan for everything but he "aims to mitigate misteps" as best he can. He also said a few things that made me think that the sheets and other product release dates were altered so they could focus on the up-list (this is my opinion and yes I replied to his email with questions about this and other things). If this is true then they obviously feel that uplisting soon is possible. A good sign but we will need to see.
Well welcome to the board but I think your due diligence might be a little off. First the company is a non-reporting pink sheet so putting a law suit that was dismissed into a filing is not required. Second, I dont think anyone was blaming you for anything.
As for toxic debt, I think the former CEO and others contributed their fair share to toxic debt. That is actually in the filings and easily revealed when you look at all the companies involved in the issuance's controlled by him and other insiders that are no longer with the company. Originally I thought that maybe this CEO was a part of it but he literally had no connections to the companies we found. I also saw a reverse split was done on Preferred stock controlled by him and other insiders. This was obviously done for a reason although we probably will never know the real reason.
The situation does seem complicated maybe you could shed some light on the situation considering?
Hey Gordo! Sorry to bother you with this stuff. You are the only one I know of that has been around since the beginning and tells it is from the beginning. I look forward to hearing how your meeting went.
I agree. CEO called me about 20 min ago and explained what he could without going too far in detail for legal reasons. Has nothing really to do with the company itself. Its from previous administrations doing it seems. Ether way you are right, old news regardless.
I have to say that it surprises me how responsive this company and this CEO is when you request to speak with him or if you have concerns. I was originally speaking with someone named Jack and he transferred me to Mr. Umbra at Mr. Umbras request. Apparently a few people here have contacted the company about this matter. I find it amazing that this CEO not only responds but tracks e-mails and phone calls in que. He is obviously a detail guy. Lets hope he doesnt micro-manage too much. He has more important things to do!
I have a very large block myself and have continued to add. The more we control the less that can be sold at a discount!
Very odd find with this court case that seems to be a few years old. In one of my conversations with the CEO he mentioned that their turn-over rate was very low, something like 4 people in 6 years. Aside from that being a very impressive stand-alone fact it makes me think that it should be pretty easy to figure out who would release this information.
If there is an employee here with an ax to grind or former employee here with an agenda, please keep in mind the ethics involved in such behavior. We dont need agendas here we need teamwork and honest facts. I have a call in to the company about this court case as I am sure a few of you do so please if anyone hears anything please post it just so we can put this to bed. Either way it does not really effect the PPS or the company but I would like to have all the facts.
Fridays are always light. Plus with the jobs report this morning the whole market is effected
You never responded to my post. Perhaps you missed it? I understand being frustrated with a company for not making you money but this seems to be more than that. I have asked this before and you never respond but it does seem to me at least that you have some sort of ax to grind with this ticker or more specifically with the CEO. A company is much more than a CEO but you focus on him almost exclusively. Why? you seem to be very confident in your criticisms of this company with some sort of insight none of us have. How is that possible? You obviously know the CEO personally and do not get along with him. What happened? Did you use to work for the company? Are or were you affiliated with the company in any way at any time? This is not information you should keep from the rest of the group as your insight could potentially help all of use here.
Ahhh a Mets fan? We will try not to hold it against you. I myself am a Yankees fan and wish I could have gone this year to Tampa. Would have been a good opportunity to see if I could meet with someone from UATG perhaps take the CEO to lunch and chat.
I have but I dont see the violations. They have put out a lot of news over the past 6 years but always with forward looking statement disclaimers. It is not against the law to create a plan, announce it, put forth a "best effort" and then fail. Can you imagine how many companies would be in violation of regulations if that was not the case?

What exactly is your complaint? I ask because I dont see any violations
Do you have any insight or information to support this claim? It would be helpful and actually constructive if you would begin posting supportive information with your claims and criticisms. You also never respond to my posts, questions or replies. Why is that?
You have called and emailed and no one has gotten back to you?
Do you live in Tampa Florida? If so, you might try scheduling a meeting since you are local.
They moved over a year ago. Apparently someone showed up in one of their Texas offices and demanded to look at government projects because they were shareholders; so they had to call the police to remove them. After that someone showed up in Tampa and there was an incident between some person and a federal agent (there are government agencies and other contractors in the same building). You can not go to their offices without a scheduled appointment. Security is taken very seriously at their offices. After that they moved to undisclosed location. All mail goes to a mailing annex. Interesting to note that someone showed up at mailing annex and caused problems as well when they demanded to know where mail was forwarded to because they wanted to go to the office. I have been told that a few people have been to the offices but were not allowed beyond the lobby and conference room. Gordo has been there, you might try reaching out to him but he doesnt come on the board much anymore because of some of the people here. If you are lucky enough to reach him, he is very knowledgeable and has been a shareholder since the beginning of the company. You might also try calling the company and see if they will offer you an appointment to tour the office but I woudnt count on a yes.
So you received the email as well?
The company was NOT haccked. It was the service they use to use for emailing large lists. They used it to be compliant with spamming laws. I spoke with the company about this specifically.
I received the same e-mail. I just got off the phone with Mr. Umbra. He received the same e-mail but their security stopped it. They were using a service for e-mail lists and apparently there must have been a breech. They no longer use third parties so it wont be an issue going forward is what he said. They have reported it and are researching the issue.
New home sales up, service sector up, both Target and Khols up significantly. Time for UATG to go with the tide and begin upward trend
Who pumps a stock at 9:30 at night? No, I think its more likely he thought he found something and made a mistake. It happens.
Good morning everyone! Just getting in to the office and looking forward to a green day in the market!
The company you found is interesting considering that UAT is launching in the UK next if I am not mistaken. I am not sure that this company is affiliated in any way with UAT but it is an interesting find.
You spoke with company or CEO?
Gentlemen & Ladies, while I completely understand that it can be frustrating at times to have others disagree with you, it is not helpful to the board or what we are trying to accomplish here together to insult one another. We are professionals after all and should treat one another respectfully regardless of ones point of view. To be honest, any negativity is just a distraction and a waste of our energy. We can disagree respectfully right?
Ok, now that I said my piece about that on to my other point. I just got off the phone with a gentleman named Chris at the company who apparently is part of the IR team. He assured me that the company is not trading the stock at all never mind trading to keep the price down. I asked if he thought the market makers were working against the position and he said he was not aware of any activities by the MM's that were designed to do that nor did he have any reason to believe that, that was the case. He dis say something very interesting though, he said that if that was happening that he no doubt that Mr. Umbra would call the MM and address the issue. I asked why he believed that so strongly and had the the CEO done it before. He responded YES, that the CEO on more than one occasion has personally called and addressed the matter with results happening.
I am actually surprised that a CEO, never mind a pink CEO, would actively address issues like this rather than task it to legal or someone else. The man oversees quite a bit, takes shareholder and customer calls/emails on top of that. It shows me that he is very active across many aspects of this company and actually does care about the company. I am impressed with the more I learn but (dont yell at me for being negative) it makes me wonder if part of the problem with this company's belabored progress is that he is trying to do too much? Does he not delegate well or micromanage everything?
The guys and I were running some numbers on UATG and I noticed something interesting. This ticker has traded on average just under $5M/yr in securities for the past 3 years rather consistently. Daily range/spread has been fairly consistent as well. I didnt realize so may trades were being executed or that the trading activity was that consistent for that long. This is a good thing in many ways (market liquidity, accurate pps, low volatility) but it also makes me question the evaluation on the ticker. I know the increase in the float and O/S are contributors but I honestly dont see why the stock would be trading at this pps without a steady or gradual increase in the pps. Regardless of daily volume the metric rarely changes. This has caused me to speculate that its intentionally being kept down so we are now looking into trading history to see if we can find a pattern of discounted selling to support resistance when the pps support increases. We noticed a period of increased T-trades and cross trades last year during several time periods so we thought it was worth a deeper look. I will let everyone know what we find
Theres no way of knowing that unless someone here works for the company or has access to their systems on Amazon and their ecommerce site. Any numbers put out here are pure speculation and a waste of time. We need the company to put those numbers in the Q
I dont see how they could do that. If they use company resources then its the companys asset. Also, I do not see how that would be advantageous for them to do. The amount of effort, time and money to do another company "on the side" would not make it worth it and would be very difficult to do.I dont think their delays or lack of progress have to do with anything nefarious. It is either intentional or inexperience or both. IMO
They also said they are not releasing the product for strategic reasons so the product being done does not equal them releasing it until they are ready. Could be for many reasons and its not unusual especially in clothing. Designers design a year in advance all he time and I am sure Apple started the development of their 2019 iphone release more than a year ago. Barring a few teaks and packaging artwork, I have no doubt that the next iphone is ready to go and that doesnt come out for another 7 months.
I just went through all their videos and photos for Hygieia. I have to say its a serious improvement over what they use to put out years ago. I honestly think the marketing images of Hygieia are top notch and ready for the magazines. This company really could do very well if it had the marketing dollars behind it. The most recent videos/commercials are damn good as well. I am very impressed with their products and eye for marketing but it still puzzles me with all of the relationships the CEO has and with all this talent in the company, why are they not further along? without question it has a lot to do with being under capitalized but something else has to be holding them back. Wonder if they are holding for a reason but really are further along?
I see no affiliation between Shehane and UATG. What makes you think hes connected to this ticker?
How do you explain these:
