I have read it and am reading it again, but I have been unable to locate any information like that. Would be great if we could.
Well, I have been calling now for about oh, three weeks and get the same replys. I will admit that I am more than likely an idiot because as everyone else is dumping, I have bought a few more at the lower prices :(. I hope that this SEC paperwork is not the downfall or I will be in the doghouse.
I will continue to try and get information if I can.
Just for one or two months, had somethings arise that needed the funds. If it gets out of control I will step back in ASAP and resume the role, just needed the cash right away.
Worthy,
Email me at ahumblefool@yahoo.com. Can not private reply as I moved to a free subscription for a while.
At this time I still have no new information. The filing is absolutely discouraging to me. After all the SEC ordeal, I would not say that this is fairing well. I am really stupid for holding but what the hell, might as well wait and see what happens.
Everyone, I am still trying to reach. I was told they are on their way to China, and todays email confirms that. Another big day with the stock dumping, but as of yet I have recieved no further information. My biggest concern right now is that with both of them in China, will our paperwork to the SEC be filed on time, within the extension. I like each of you are concerned, but I will continue to try and make contact.
What a disaster of a day. What are they thinking to be posting late! Dam it!
I am trying. I am sorry that I have been unable to get you any information. I am deeply concerned on this dumping as well. Again I am trying
Just received a new number, calling.
Sorry everyone nothing yet. Everyone is "busy." Will continue to call.
Calling in about two hours, spring break here and have to finish something with the kids. I will report as soon as I have spoken with her.
As all of you, when I returned today and found they had not filed but filed for an extension, I was very disappointed. I will call on Monday and see what I can find out. I am unable to call tomorrow.
We should see it out by end of market today, if they want to stay in compliance.
Like everyone else on this board, I am simply waiting to see the next move made by ESMT. I do not spend my days watching the fluctuation of this stock, I do not spend countless hours questioning every move made, I am a long term holder and therefore I wait to see what happens.
I still hold my shares, and like each of you I see articles about other companies and question where we are at with our contracts. Where is the financing at? Where are the cards? Is this company for real or not? It is a pink sheet stock. We could be sitting on a winner or a loser, but I only play what I can afford to lose.
Am I discouraged right now, sure. I thought we would have had something hit about financing by now, but we have not. I thought we would have seen cards being shipped, but we have not. I thought we would see a bit more stability on the pricing, but we have not.
Hold or sell, do neither on my part, but I am holding.
New Team Up:
e-Smart and InfoZen to Team
WASHINGTON, March 10, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- e-Smart Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets: ESMT) today announced that it has entered into a "Teaming Agreement" with InfoZen, Inc., a leader in information management, specializing in Risk Management and Secure Solutions, Transformational and Strategic Solutions, and E-government and Infrastructure Services.
Under the terms of the Teaming Agreement, the parties have agreed to work to identify projects, beginning with the US government on domestic homeland security projects and expanding to commercial and international projects, which will integrate the unique biometric and other security technologies and systems developed by e-Smart with the proven experience and superior background verification, credentialing and Automatic Adjudication system of InfoZen.
As an established leader in risk management, credentialing and secure solutions, InfoZen's advanced and unique RapidAdjudicator(TM) credentialing and verification platform was recently deployed by the United States Federal Government.
e-Smart is the exclusive supplier for the USA and Asia of the Biometric Verification Security System(TM) ("BVS2(TM)"), featuring the Super Smart Card(TM), which experts believe to be the world's only commercially available smart card with a full on-card system for biometric ID verification. E-Smart is also the supplier of the Super Smart Passport(TM), the world's first digital passport that authenticates the passport holder's identity via an on-board fingerprint sensor and biometric matching system wirelessly powered, with no physical connection required.
Commenting on the Teaming Agreement, Raj Ananthanpillai, CEO of InfoZen, said, "In the face of the growing need for safe, timely and accurate information to assure domestic security, it seems wholly appropriate for InfoZen and e-Smart to join forces. It is important to piece together all the critical information and analyze them in a timely fashion. Together, InfoZen and e-Smart can provide credentialing and identity management solutions."
Mary Grace, President and CEO of e-Smart commented, "There is nothing more important than the safety and security of the American people, and by coupling e-Smart's advanced biometric technology with InfoZen's highly respected information management systems and services we are ever closer to delivering that most necessary peace of mind."

Civitas Group to Represent e-Smart
Companies Connect on Security Issues
3/2/2005 9:48:50 AM
WASHINGTON, March 2, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- e-Smart Technologies, Inc. (ESMT) ("e-Smart" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company will be represented by the Civitas Group, llc., a Washington, D.C. based strategic advisory and investment services firm, specializing in the homeland and national security markets.
The Civitas Management Team is comprised of prominent and highly respected individuals with many decades of experience in Washington across all branches of government.

Berger, Chairman of Stonebridge International LLC and former National Security Adviser, serve as Co-Chairmen of the firm. Robert Swindell serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of Civitas. Mr. Swindell spent 17 years as an investment banker at Lehman Brothers, most recently as head of U.S. technology banking.
"We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with the outstanding team at Civitas, which has a record that clearly demonstrates a strong commitment to its clients and an exceptional ability to bring together the right people with the right technology with the U.S. Government in the homeland and national security area," said Mary Grace, President and CEO of e-Smart.

March Newsletter:
In the February newsletter I was very pleased to have the opportunity to share with you in a chronology the many contracts and agreements that the company entered into last year. The shareholder response to these successes has been very encouraging and many of you have contacted me, interested in the follow-up to these impressive corporate achievements. It is my pleasure to give you a brief update about the company’s efforts to implement these contracts and also advise you of some upcoming corporate events and changes.
As most of you now are aware, during the first week of February, the Administrative Law Judge of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a final ruling in the regulatory action taken in December of 2002 by the Division of Enforcement, reversing the earlier and denying any sanctions against e-Smart. As you may well understand, a great deal of time and effort was devoted to bringing this action to a close and we are very pleased with the satisfactory outcome.
With the delays caused by the SEC action now behind us, the Company is now able to move forward our signed contracts and agreements, and the e-Smart team is diligently working to complete the funding necessary to commence the world-wide rollout of the Super Smart Card™ and the Biometric Verification Security System™, or “BVS2™”. We expect to begin this phase of our business with the simultaneous rollout of 1.) the “Student Management Card Project” in Korea (with partners Samsung SDS and Korean company, Kobile Co., Ltd.) ” to provide secure ID and payment cards to middle school, high school and university students in Korea (five hundred institutions of learning to date), with potential revenues in the first six years in excess of US $600 million, and 2.) the roll out the “Mybi/eSmart Payment Card Project” in Korea to facilitate transportation, point of sale, banking and e-payments of all kinds for the current MybiCard Holders (20 million strong) in Korea (with partners Samsung SDS and Mybi Co., Ltd.). Provided all is accomplished, timely, which we are committed to expend every effort achieve, the Company anticipates revenues to commence within four to six months and net positive cashflow from these two projects by year end.
At the same time, with our fine partners, Daewoo International, together with our China and Indonesian partners, we will also move forward with specific signed agreements and contracts and those being negotiated.
In anticipation of the rollouts and the interest that they will generate in our Company, we have taken the steps necessary to cause the filing of the appropriate forms to move the company from the Pink Sheets to the OTC Bulletin Board. It is also the Company’s intention to co-list on several Asian Exchanges as soon as practicable. Of course, as soon as we qualify, we intend to seek listing on NASDAQ or the American Stock Exchange. I will keep you informed as this process moves forward.
And, as is evidenced by the many contracts being negotiated and signed, e-Smart is quickly becoming recognized as the leader in on-card matching biometric smart cards. We couldn’t be more proud that, when all agreements and contracts are brought to fruition, nearly a third of the world’s population will benefit from the security and personal protection offered by e-Smart’s Super Smart Card™ and BVS2™ system.
I also am pleased to announce that with e-Smart’s growing reputation around the world as the leader in on-card matching biometric smart cards, I have been invited as a keynote speaker at the April 27-29, Cards Asia 2005, 10th Annual Exhibition and Conference in Singapore, where I will have the opportunity to continue the process of introducing e-Smart’s Super Smart Card™ and continuing the discussion of how the Super Smart Card™ can virtually eliminate identity theft and payment fraud throughout the banking world. Other distinguished speakers at Cards Asia 2005 include, Francis Hsu, Senior Vice President, United Overseas Bank, Singapore, Edwin Bautista, Executive Vice President, Retail Banking Head, Union Bank of the Philippines, Chongho Yoon, General Manager, e-Business, Kookmin Bank, Korea, David Hendrix, Executive Vice President, Retail Banking, Kasikornbank, Thailand, Indrajit Lahiri, Chief Risk Officer, Hyundai Capital – GE Joint Venture, Korea, Rajiv Kapoor, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Marketing, Visa International - Asia Pacific and David Belchick, Project Manager, e-authentication, US Department of Interior, Office of the Chief Information Officer, USA.
Following the Cards Asia 2005 Conference, I again am honored to be a keynote speaker at the May 12-15, North American Security Symposium & Exhibition in Montreal, Canada, where I’ll have the opportunity to introduce e-Smart’s Super Smart Card™ and BVS2™ to member companies of the Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) that operate central station alarm monitoring systems, providing the critical security that protects our homes, government buildings, schools, office and commercial buildings, entertainment venues, landmarks, airports & seaports, banks and financial institutions, and protect people and property from harm.
Finally, as I’m sure you are aware, the e-Smart Marketing team is working around the clock to keep pace with the ever increasing interest in e-Smart’s Super Smart Card™ and Super Smart Passport™ and given the speed in which contracts are being signed and agreements are being made, I believe a quarterly, rather than monthly, newsletter will provide shareholders a more complete picture of the company’s progress. Although we will continue to post on the company’s website new agreements, contracts and other news affecting the company, you may expect the “Chairman’s Newsletter” updates in April, July, October and December.
It is truly gratifying to hear from so many of you, knowing of your interest in and support of our efforts on your behalf. I am more confident than ever that we are on the cusp of great success and it is reassuring to know that we have earned your continued confidence. Together we will bring security and peace of mind to the world.

They filed it today. We will be back online tomorrow.
After being recently cleared by the SEC, if she did not comply, it would not show much strength in her management abilities. They will file on time, as they have done in the past, when the market closes.
Damn, you guys beat me too it! This is the news we have needed for the last year, should open some doors.
Indonesia: Nothing new to report, and with the recent tragedy, I am making an assumption that this will slow this contract down. I will keep searching.
Okay, another big announcement and no move. I say that one day next year we are going to wake up and suddenly people will recognize this stock and we will hit $20 a share, lol. Party in Vegas, drinks on me for all luck y holders, lol.
It will be like SPEA. In time.
BIG WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
SPEA: Should have held a few, lol!

Sold Last of SPEA! - Best day since HLSH!
SPEA - Good Lord! Now that is a Christmas Bonus! My lowly 4,000 shares just made it a very happy holiday, lol.
I do not believe a suspension would be a bad thing. For those of us holding, it could actually be an okay thing. Lets just say a suspension went into affect, which I do not believe will happen, and the stock is halted for six months. Lets then speculate that ESMT was to announce a large financing package, a China deal, more countries and an expansion of the current contracts. And then they also announce manufacturing plus moving the stock from the pinks to a more regulated market. What would be the affect?
We know the float is relatively low. Could we open again in six months already in the double digits, and we the current holders are the winners? Your ideas on AICF would just be the icing on the cake at that point, a BIG CAKE.
ESMT is really my lottery ticket. I concur with Inquiring...
COME ON ESMT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two things I believe are causing the stock to not rise:
1. The SEC. The judge needs to make a final decision, only then will people feel secure.
2. Financing. Need to see a press release saying they have secured financing for manufacturing.
Obviously they are a strong company technology wise as Samsung and Mybi would not work with a company that could not prove that they were very strong in technology.
From what I am seeing, 2005 and into 2006 is going to be a great time for ESMT.
EZ, You have been on a role! Nice to see you back to your old self, lol.
Never asked you to get excited inquiring, just sharing information to others. As I have said in the past this is a long term stock, not short term. Good companies grow in time, we will need to wait and see if this is one of them.
Look on left hand side of the page the link opens upto. About five different interviews.

How are they clearer. I have no idea what you mean by "we" I am an investor in this stock and nothing more. I like you wait for news and then comment where I can.
