Just about every saleable product on the planet will have both positive and negative reviews. It doesn't mean the product won't sell.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! GOOD ONE NUUBIE!
"SPNG throwing in the towel it seems. "
First of all this is the first time I ever said it. I made a mistake. At least I admit that, while other posters spew out lies and fabrications all day long.
Why do you keep repeating that obvious un-tuth?
SPNG is not on the reg sho list only because they are temporarily on the pink sheets.
Go CAVS! Go SPONGE!
It is a bunch of BULL! My wife bought a 2009 Black Camry Sport, last month. Washed it twice with the car Wash Sponge. Car looks great, sponge has plenty of soap.
Go Philadelphia Phillies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go SPNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good DD Frank.
Also from the 10Q in April;
We have also historically depended primarily on one manufacturer for the production of our cleaning products. Such manufacturer was H.H. Brown Shoe Technologies, Inc. (d/b/a Dicon Technologies), which closed its manufacturing operations in 2007. In 2007, an investment company bought Dicon Technologies from H.H .Brown Shoe Technologies, Inc. From that time until recently some products were manufactured in China by partners of our manufacturer under an oral agreement using encapsulation technology instead of technology relating to hydrophilic sponges. Currently, our products are being manufactured by Dicon under an oral agreement. To handle our growing sales our products are being manufactured by multiple manufacturers.
We may still use China facilities for Pacific Rim distribution (South Korea, Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, etc). However, there is a significant lead time required on products manufactured abroad. As a result, to the extent that we are unable to obtain products manufactured in the United States, there is no assurance that we will be able to maintain sufficient inventory on hand to fulfill orders which require delivery in short time frames. If we are unable to deliver products to customers timely, we may lose these customers.
During the last two fiscal years, we received some essential services at no charge due to certain business relationships established by our management. Had we been charged for all these services, these costs would be reflected as expenses in our financial statements. Some of the areas where these services were provided include, but are not limited to, art work, packaging, design and consulting. We anticipate that this arrangement will continue at least through the current fiscal year. If and when this arrangement ceases, we expect that our costs of doing business will increase.
Our business model is to outsource our operations when possible. We intend to look to outsource our sales team who will devote their efforts to promoting and selling our products and fostering relationships with distributors who can assist us with getting our products on the shelves of large retailers such as Wal-Mart and Costco. However, there is no guarantee that with this outsourced sales team, our businesses will be profitable.
Carp, I agree with this is well. And the fact that we imports of product from Dicon Pacific to Spongetech makes it even more believable.

Thanks Carp. That's what I beleive as well. May explain why they are importing to Sponegetech in the US. May also explain some of the "missing customer" issues.
Thanks 1jk1.
Thanks. Yes very little transparency. Why is Dicon Pacific shipping to Spongetech?
The big question is are Dicon and Dicon Pacific two different comapnies?
Dicon Pacific and Taikone are the same company:

Are Dicon and Dicon Pacific both owned by Spongetech?
I think that there is a business relationship of some sort between Spongetech and Taikone.
It is SELLING in the US as well!
"They are SELLING Spongebob not just PR about it."
What states are you talking about? They sell it in the United States, so don't put out false statements!
"thus y we dont see one being sold in states"
Does this confidentiallity agreement explain why the "mystery customers", which are the focus of the NYP, Patchy, and other naysayers, can't be contacted??? Taikone might explain the reported revenues from fiscal 2009.

Question, is Taikone affiliated with Dicon Pacific? Does Spongetech own Dicon Pacific as well?

Stox!!! Good to hear from you. GLTY
Excellent find spongeboy!
Great post Mingy!
"Very interesting stuff going on. The fact that these naked shorts have been able to get away with this is outrageous, excellent point about fair value being greater than $3, and the risk of 5 cents to make 60 times your money is incredible returns. You make a lot of other great points too, sir"
Don't worry, I'm sure they will someday.
"Shorts go to H#LL"
Wrong, the stock is dependant on the products!
"This is for spng STOCK ... no one needs to know the merit of a product here."
Go Phillies and Go SPNG!!!
There's always a first!
Get real! It has nothing to do with the company. It is obviously just an IHUB or Yahoo poster writing those.
Spot on john651. Even with the remote chance that management did something wrong the company will still be around and continue to grow.
Excellent work SJJNAMARTIN!

Viacom doesn't think so!
"It is at best a niche market; at worst an "as seen on TV" flash in the pan."
Hey Gordon, what's new.
SpongeBob sponge doing well on Amazon. Bestseller in baby section;
"~!~ Let me get this straight... If I can deny all the hot air about naked shorts with spng, I'm being dishonest?"
It's dishonest to state it as fact since you do not know this as an absolute fact unless you work for the SEC or know someone there involved. Otherwise just state that it's just your opinion.
And you know that for a fact, or just your opinion?
