From Pks2398: Post#48872
"I found an old PR that stated the licensing deal with the Vatican Library Collection is exclusive to Eternal Image. But, does anyone know if the licensing deals with MLB, AKC, and Precious Moments are exclusive?"
Anyone able to find out concrete info on this? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and take care! GO ETIM!

Re: Rev's, (Company Policy Procedures) regarding revenue or future orders. Does the company retain a deposit or C.O.D or account billing arrangements. What are the payment terms for distributors and are all the same (uniform accounting) or do they vary.
That said, will rev's in the "rear" be put on the books during the "quarter of the order" vs the quarter of the receivable..
==================================

Updates and feedback PR from Ohio Vault and Casket. How are things going from the distributor level? Are they having fun with their new products? Whats the latest from the distributorship level in general?
Can we get a survey going from distributors and feed that back to investors? (PR)
note: Questions for the 18th.

Will funeral homes get a discount when buying their display models? Will old school designs be considered/or have they been considered for sports merchandise? Has the production capacity for popular products been ramped up? I don't know if JP can answer all of these but they are a few things I was thinking of.

Question: Is the company going to have enough production to keep up with demand? Somehow I think with all the media blitz about the products that the company may have underestimated possible demand for the product. I was thinking about that TV commercial a few years back where a new company just opened a website to sell something. As the day began they got a hit then another and another and everyone seemed happy by the results. All of a sudden the hits started coming in by the thousands and they got overwhelmed and then the commercial suggested calling XXXX company to help handle the situation for them. I hope I'm right about the demand and wrong about the possible production problem. Comments please....

If it is, then going back 2 years includes the merger into the shell company, right? And that would definitely make the completion of the audit more demanding and time-consuming.

My query is why didn't they do the buy back when the share price was $0.001 or so?

From qaswaseas: Post#55328
(not really a question, but looking for answers)
Every 100mil share buyback will cost the company $2.0 mill at 2 cents pps. The higher the pps the higher the bill.
From where can the company get cash to buyback without sacrificing continuing operations expenditure.
At this rate it will take a couple of years time to reduce the os from 2.8billion to even 2.5 billion.
This rate of buyback makes no meaningful difference.
(if someone suggest loan to buyback.. that means digging the grave even deeper).
The company is in a huge bind due to the current share structure...it will need a monstrous effort in sales to generate sizable revenue in 2008 and 2009 to offset the expenses.
Until then a market cap of 140 million is attained at 5cents pps with the current ss. JP has some answers to make in the conf. call to hard questions pertaining to ss.

Per IHUB
*Authorized Shares: 2,771,000,000 as of 2007-03-08
*Preferred Shares: 10,000,000 as of 2007-01-22
*Outstanding Shares: 2,755,189,351 as of 2007-03-08
*Float: 2,102,514,099 as of 2007-03-08
Estimated Market Cap: 8.596M as of 2007-03-09 (based on Outstanding Shares as of 2007-02-05)
My question is as follows...
How much are the preferred shares valued at?
Could a deal be made to sell off a small portion of the preferred shares to a finance group for money to purchase more of the common shares....and knock down some of the dilution? Just thinking outside of the box. This might be a quicker way to finance a larger buyback w/o spending so much $$$ for future buybacks. Only drawback would be giving up some control of the company.......
This comment is just speculation by me. Anyone have any thoughts regarding this idea?

question for CC
Will the previously announced share buyback initiative in any way interfere with or delay plans to expand the product line?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From papercut44: Post# 56812
Since we already have the template for the MLB caskets and urns made...does this mean that if we get a licensing deal with other sports like nascar or NFL will it cost less to make those templates or whatever...can we use the same templates/machines to some extent with minor changes. I'm asking this because EI has stated that each new tooling for licensing deals cost the company approximately 1 million dollars so will future sports licensing be cheaper taking what we already have for MLB on the production side into consideration?

Question I am sure that has been submitted but not on the robust list: What is the Status of the BuyBack? Has it started if not will it by end of this quarter?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From dffhogs: question in a PM:
Question for the CC:
Why did they issue a PR stating a buyback while they were diluting stock?
