As far as I know Borkowski is still involved - and I assume that Withrow is as well.
In the Dec 2013 release, it states Borkowski is CEO and if you look at the ezsparc.com link at the bottom - that domain was set up by Withrow, so there appears to be a continuing connection between those two despite the addition or removal of other people.

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eaton Scientific Systems, Inc. (ESSI) is pleased to announce the next tests of the EcoFlora Spark Plug.

The initial results came back with noticeable increase in Horsepower and Torque) well as ran well within the combustion heat limits.
“with Mark's background in Motorsports, he is not only qualified, but we are very pleased to have him directing our next level of testing, confident of the results, and very excited to move forward.”

This is jiggling something in my brain - for over a year, people have sought out Borkowski, Withrow and Berman - all players in the game, asking for information on where the product is going and how the trials are going.
We were told right up into summer 2013, that trials were taking place - we expected to hear something about where it stood in September 2013.
While we were waiting, Ed Withrow, set up a new site for a spark plug company - Sept 13, 2013 - he never once contacted the shareholders, but was busy setting up a domain name.
Was the intent to dissolve it and go private all along even though people believed from limited interaction that it was moving forward - ..the timing seems to be too controlled - were people still holding or buying based on the news...
You can go back into the posts forever and read the questions and answers regarding trials - but no reports on those trials ever came to light, even after the Sept date and onward when everything thought the government shut down had delayed the outcome - in fact were they setting up a new domain name and plan for spark plugs instead

Ok - received a reply from Mr. Withrow. Basically saying what the previous 10-K. Trials are still going on as scheduled. Anything else I need to get his ok to post on this board.

Eaton has recently refiled its Patent Application as part of its pursuit of a US Patent. The Company has signed up a Clinical Trial Facility and are in the process of sending them additional Patient Questionaires.
But, the good news, he did responded to my e-mail today. I should buy back in tomorrow now. Just needed a confirmation that ESSI still working on their project. GLTA
I tend to agree. The after market parts is extremely hard to get into it and more fail than have ever succeeded.
What intrigues me is this - Ed Withrow is somehow linked to EGCT (Ecological Transport) - go in and read that board and go back and you can read how many shareholders said the same thing they did on this board - no new, dead etc. Go back to May 2013 or further and they were in the same boat.
This EGCT operates out of the same address that was given by another poster on here for the ezsparc site - there is a link there somehow - it gets very confusing trying to connect all the dots but I guess thats why there are forensic auditors. The same people keep popping up all over the place within various companies. looks like they set up the site in September 2013, got it all ready to shift, then did it in November 2013 and let everyone know - its good till 2015 so what happens then - have they predetermined the spark plug company shelf life maybe..its interesting....

18 months with NO information, no reports, no trial results, no updates on changes to the professional team - until notification that the company was sold to use for spark plug 'intent'...
Are you sure about that??
They gave you a share for a share - that in itself is paying you for your ESSI shares. You get to keep the private shares - and instead they gave you some public shares in penny stock spark plugs. They also own the majority and can do what they want -
It's a shame you know. A lot of people do what they consider due diligence, they read what they can and try to make a good decision based on that, but there is just no way no matter how good you are, that you can keep up with how fast these things change and move. How does a shareholder keep a company honest or on track? They take the money and as happened here, it was up to the HOLDER to keep trying to get information from the company instead of the company being obligated to provide the investor with updates - perhaps thats one thing the SEC should change. The obligation and responsibility aspect of penny stocks on the part of the company and not just in reports on finance or name change. If for example, this company had to provide proof that they were contracted to a company for trials, if they had to make it public that the professionals they hired for public relations ie in this case Dr Berman, were not with them and why - if people knew those things they could 'get out' much earlier or make better decisions. In this case, people here had to contact the Doctor and it was she who told them why she wasn't with them and about when it was. There are changes the SEC can make if they want that might help the small investors. As it is - lessons learned - don't buy on hope or emotion or 'belief'...trust nobody - buy only to make money - take your small profit and get out.
That side is going private and is being put to rest because apparently they don't have any money to continue on. One reason so many people held on to their ESSI stock without dumping it, was because of the constant promise of it being in trials - but we never, ever, got to see any report from those trials that were in process - then came the news they were taking it private and giving you shares of a spark plug start up that will play in the public market instead. (I say instead because your 'tropine' shares are private which means there is no public trading on them )
If you look at the posts, you will see some people that got forms to fill out from the company to get their shares and that the forms included a request for the social security number. I'm sure those forms would be included in any information the SEC would want.
I think it's irresponsible for anyone to come and advise shareholders to just fill out the forms as requested to get those shares, when in fact, the forms want personal information such as an SSN.
Mind you, I'm not sure why a person would have to call the company to get the stocks that the individual already owns through a broker but...
I think people should take the advice of their broker and my thanks to all on here who have passed on that information for those sitting on the sidelines watching this play out -
but doesn't that contradict what the moderator posted?
Just some info that might help regarding 'street' shares - it can get confusing...
What is the difference between Registered and "Street" share certificates?
When you purchase shares of a public company through a stockbroker, the broker typically keeps your certificates and registers them in "street" name. That means your stockbroker has the only record of your securities holdings and you must do any re-registration of your certificates through your stockbroker. If you don't like that arrangement, you can request your stockbroker to register your shares with the corporation. The actual certificates will then be mailed to you or kept in safekeeping at your broker. A stock certificate is evidence of your ownership in a public corporation. It is a valuable document that deserves careful protection. If you take possession of your certificates, keep them in a secure place such as a safety deposit box. Replacing certificates is costly and inconvenient.
Thanks for that update DS.
I've never heard of things being done this way either so it's quite strange. I noticed that they were using the Wiltshire Boulevard address on this but I thought Borkowski said they changed offices and were in Florida now?
If you click on the Eco Science Internation for the sparkplugs you get the Woodbridge, Ontario address which is a house.
In December 2013, the address was posted in the release -
M
It is a very odd way to distribute these shares..
I would hazard they were stock pictures taken from somewhere to create a webpage.
On that note, one thinks they should be updating their ESSI website unless anyone knows who the accredited medical professionals are that are still retained by them....
-
That's pretty well what people thought - thanks for checking.
After looking at the report that came out the word 'intends', implies that the spark plugs aren't in production and since Borkowski said in December that they were 'testing' - it feels like an ESSI dream all over again. How many times can you 'test' a sparkplug that you already tout as 'new and improved'. One imagines that new and improved means you have tested and got ready for production - I guess not.
Actually they put out 'on or by' the 25th - they may have changed it somewhere but I didn't see a second report come out with the new date on it.
Yes, I hadn't picked up the word 'intends' first time around - everyone has been so busy dancing around looking for the manufacturing plant, or the offices that the assumption was that this was already a given. That one little word means building excitement on air - rather like the Tropine ads using the good Doctor - I was thinking how they all put up some professional for legitimacy and in the case it was Dr Berman and I believe in this case, its a speedtrack pro.
Intent is not action that's for sure.
THE SPIN OFF
Marciano has represented that he intends to acquire an exclusive license to a unique automotive product, the EcoFlora Spark Plug, with a proprietary technology and that the new Management believes that EcoFlora has the potential to be uniquely positioned in the automotive parts business in the United States and International automotive parts marketplace.
The Management believes that the potential success of the EcoFlora technology could potentially provide value to the Company and its shareholders.
The Majority Shareholders acknowledge that the Company has not been able to attract investment capital sufficient to execute its business plan because of its Share price.
The Majority Shareholders and the Company’s Management believe it is in the best interest of the Company’s Shareholders to operate Eaton Scientific Systems, Ltd. (“Eaton Sub”) a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as a private Company, until such time where it is sufficiently capitalized to increase the probability for its Clinical Trials of Homatropine (“Tropine 3”) in oral suspension for the treatment of hot flash symptoms in pre-menopausal, menopausal and post menopausal women, to be in a position to yield results that may provide the opportunity for a potential FDA approval for marketing to consumers in the US.
The Majority Shareholders of the Company have voted to “Spin-out” to its Shareholders, one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Eaton Scientific Systems Ltd., its operating subsidiary, as of November 25, 2013, on a one-for-one basis within sixty-days (60) of the Change of Control of the Company, or by January 25, 2014.
It's interesting isn't it..I do remember some people on this board that kept telling us that ESSI was good to go! They kept saying the reason the CEO wasn't giving us any news was because they were trying to distance themselves from the Pristine publicity - but I'd say that was a load of you know what..people remember the PRTN scam because with no information or interest in updating your investors, it seems like those actions just continue with ESSI ...seeking alpha had posted this but for a lot of people it was already too late -
Just do some searching.
Check out the report in the link below - there is a lot of detail about that company - the name Withrow comes up in this one as well.
Considering they didn't do a good job with PRTN or ESSI - credentials don't mean a thing.
Dr Berman had great credentials and she bailed on ESSI..I'm wondering why their Ecologic company wouldn't have invested in the spark plugs since they are already in transportation and the management team includes Withrow.
Of course, if you go and read the IHub page for that stock, the very last post on that one asks if it is 'dead'.
Is this a pattern?
The same address is being used for their other venture - if you read my other post on connecting players, the ticker for this one is on that list.

See the connections between the players -
The date was January 25th -
Too funny - all the same players - all the same game.
Hmmmm...testing was done in December...more testing was to be done a few days later...wasn't this sparkplug already patented and innovative enough to already have been designed, researched and ready to go? It's confusing...maybe the guys want some play time in Florida over the winter at the very least - hope it' sunny!

On the ESSI information, the address seems to have changed from California to Florida - it was on one of the PR pieces that came out with Borkowski's name on it. You might want to google it as well - I do know that when nobody was hearing from the leaders of the company over the past year, the shareholders were the ones trying to call and email the CEO etc. That's how they found out that some of the big names were no longer with the company - their virtual office was just that - virtual, which in itself wouldn't be a major red flag, but when the company goes quiet and then suddenly announces those shares you got are private and 'virtually' worth nothing - you do have to wonder where it has been and is going.

The address for this manufacturing company is on their website. Put it in google maps and find out if it is a house or a virtual office - as I recall, nobody could ever call ESSI at their listed offices because it was a virtual office. Nobody was there - just an empty chair and a phone that always rang.
If this is a manufacturing company, if it is in fact making spark plugs and marketing and getting ready to sell - you should see a little warehouse, maybe one or two staff - maybe even a sign on the outside....if not - ......
It's only been 7 years since the old tropine has been floating around - still no trials completed - still no product - nothing is nothing is more of nothing - it's going private but hey, who knows, maybe in ten years someone will dust it off and promise to make it happen and you might be able to sell those stocks...of course the flip side of that is using them in the hamster cage :)
I guess if we were to ask 'how' he could go private without any notification, we would have to ask 'how' he could have been CEO for a year and a half and basically just let investors die on the vine. Did anyone care that people spent money on a stock with a lot of promises of completed trials and dates but that offered not one letter or PR or anything out of a little respect for having taken the money? No.
In summary, the CEO hasn't given a crap about keeping anyone up to date about tropine, they let the Doctors and other professionals go without telling anyone (and somewhere in all that original documentation I think there was a statement about keeping investors informed of major changes - not paying the professionals and/or having the leave the project IS major)so I tend to think so I wouldn't expect the same CEO to behave any differently. But that's just my HO. If I gave money to a friend so we could invest in bonds together and my friend left town without a word - came back over a year later and asked for more money and a sweeter deal - what would I do?
I keep humming that song to myself - bye bye birdie..so long...lol.
which is all fine and well but without any news, we can't even begin to estimate how big or small our share will be. One would have thought that we would have heard some sort of word - something -
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - January 07, 2014) - MediSwipe Inc. (www.MediSwipe.com) (OTCQB: MWIPD), the leader in Compassionate Care Technology Solutions and products for the medicinal marijuana industry, today announced the acquisition and brand of its Mont Blunt® vaporizers and tobacco alternative product lines, as well as the launch date of its new e-commerce website featuring the Mont Blunt® brand, www.Montblunt.com, being January 31, 2014.
"The Mont Blunt brand of vaporizers and alternative tobacco products and accessories will be known as the premier brand amongst celebrities, recreational users and patients alike. Our initial testing and first release of the product line has sparked major interest of retailers, dispensaries and major wholesalers. The first 1,000 units selling between $69.50 and higher prices for customized units in Chrome, diamonds and precious stones are expected to sell this quarter. We have orders from one of the largest retailers in tobacco product sales and our presence in Colorado has opened us up to a multi-million dollar marketplace for the brand with our available network of 250 dispensaries. Based upon initial feedback from our customers and retail partners, we expect our new line of Mont Blunt® products to become a significant part of our revenue stream similar to those created by our competitors Vapor Corp. and Victory Electronic Cigarettes, each trading at higher market values," stated B. Michael Friedman, CEO of MediSwipe.
The State of Colorado is expecting $578 million in revenue from recreational use of marijuana and $67 million in taxable income and isn't the only state that is experimenting with looser drug laws. After decades of failed drug policy, and with nationwide support for legalization rising to 58% in one recent poll, 20 U.S. states, plus the District of Columbia, now allow medical marijuana sales. Some municipalities have decriminalized possession. Washington State is preparing to roll out its own retail cannabis shops. In New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo recently reportedly an executive order to allow limited use of medical marijuana in the Empire State. Measures to legalize pot sales will be on the ballot in several more states in 2014 and 2016, including possibly California. Representatives from Uruguay, Britain, Chile and Brazil have all consulted Colorado experts how to assemble a regulatory framework.
In anticipation of launching our Mont Blunt trademark and branded product in 2014 through brick-and-mortar retailers in Colorado, Michigan and Washington State, as well as exclusively through our e-commerce site later this month, www.Montblunt.com, we expect to announce celebrity endorsements and giveaways of the Mont Blunt brand over the next coming months. The new website will also provide our brick-and-mortar retail partners across the country an opportunity to join a new retail affiliate network program.
Mont Blunt Vapor Inhalers are smokeless and nearly odor-free giving the "smoker" the flexibility to enjoy use of their custom design in medicinal, recreational and approved public areas, without the well-known negative health effects of actual smoking. The exclusive brand pricing ranges from single units selling from $69.50 and may run as high as $250,000.00 for custom designs with diamonds and rare jewel cases designed by prominent jewelry artists.
In addition, the new Mont Blunt® site will allow users to share information and comments on products that interest them with others across well-trafficked social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram.
It's been months since the 800 commerce news - what the heck is going on? This is getting ridiculous...

POT STOCKS HIT HIGHS TOO AS COLORADO LEGALIZES MARIJUANA
AFP 1/2/2014 9:21:38 PM
Stocks of companies involved in the marijuana industry -- medical or otherwise -- hit fresh highs Thursday after Colorado launched the first legal US sale of recreational pot.
Investors took the huge lines outside pot retailers in Colorado as a harbinger of potential growth in the still-new industry.
With one study predicting a $10 billion a year industry by 2018, hopes are that the legalization of private cannabis use could eventually divert the fortunes reaped by illicit growers and traffickers to shareholders.
Most of the companies involved though remain small and untested, and trade on over-the-counter markets.
The biggest gain Thursday was at the well-established MediSwipe, Inc, which sells transaction processing systems to the medical industry.
In October the company launched a cooperative in Colorado to work with licensed marijuana industry participants, most of them too small to afford quality financial processing systems on their own.
MediSwipe shares climbed 69.4 percent to 18.8 cents.
GreenGro Technologies, which sells growing systems and equipment popular with pot farmers, spiked 52.3 percent to 6.7 cents.
GW Pharmaceuticals, which focuses on medicines derived from marijuana, rose 5.7 percent to $3.30.
MedBox jumped 57.2 percent to $28.70. The company makes high-security storage and dispensing machines for controlled medicines, equipment used by marijuana distributors.
Shares of California-based grower Medical Marijuana Inc. were up 22 percent to 18.9 cents, and medicine-focused Cannabis Science surged 44.4 percent to 7.4 cents.
Hemp, Inc, which grows industrial hemp and is starting to market hemp seeds as a nutritious "superfood", gained 50.8 percent at 3 cents.
Acknowledging the difficulty of gauging a mostly illegal industry, analysts put the size of the US market, legal and illegal, in the low tens of billions of dollars a year.
In a study last year, ArcView Market Research put the size of the national legal market at $1.44 billion, and forecast a rise to $2.34 billion this year, helped in a large part by Colorado's move.
The largest state market is California, selling nearly $1 billion worth of marijuana a year for medical use
The ArcView study said the market has the potential to grow to more than $10 billion within five years, especially if other states like California follow Colorado's example.
"Gains will come in the form of increased demand in existing state markets, as well as from new state markets coming online within a five-year horizon."
Pot-related shares though have been a mixed bag, with many in the penny-stock category that lends itself to manipulation.
In August the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority issued a warning over possible scams involving marijuana stocks, including trader "pump and dump" schemes, and companies which advertise big gains but have little real income or experience in the industry.
"One low-priced stock now claiming to be in the medical marijuana business has had four name changes in the past 10 years," FINRA said, while another had just changed from ostensibly being in the coffee industry.
Has the date already been set?
Bio-Matrix Scientific Group Inc. Announces 20 Million Share Regen BioPharma Dividend to Be Paid to Shareholders
Dividend Is Approximately 40% Payout of Regen's Issued and Outstanding Shares
So Borkowski is still involved with ESSI - didn't someone say he was gone? He resigned as Secretary but apparently he's still CEO - right on cue..
Colorado is in business now - we should be hearing an update from Mediswipe within a few weeks -
LOS ANGELES, CA-(Marketwired - October 24, 2013) - MediSwipe Inc. (www.MediSwipe.com) (OTCQB: MWIP), the leader in Compassionate Care Technology Solutions for the medicinal marijuana industry, today announced that the Company has launched the first cooperative on behalf of licensed dispensaries, agriculture and grow operations in the state of Colorado. Those state approved operations qualifying for the program will pay MediSwipe a monthly fee starting at $499.00 and receive direct wholesale pricing on infrastructure costs and build out of operations through manufacturer relationships negotiated by MediSwipe.
I keep reading posters claiming that this company is a scam - however - when you sign an exclusive contract for services, it is usually legally binding and for that reason, even if I don't like what is happening to this stock - I don't see it as any such thing.
