EXPH Overview and Update MUST READ

Bear with me on the length, but you are more than worth the time it took to prepare and post it, thank you.

Firstly, thank you all for visiting the EXPH board and participating in factual discussion concerning this growing company.

I truly appreciate your tremendous response to the alert sent out about this issue just a couple weeks ago at .014.

Now, lets examine some fine points here that are important and instrumental to the recent trading patterns of this security.

The following statements are fact, and are supported by links to published, well known sources regarding the subject(s) discussed herein;

1. EXPH traded as a gray sheet security until June 7, 2007.

2. Under appropriate SEC guidelines, EXPH caused a form 15-211 to be filed, for listing on the Pinksheets "automated quoting service".

3. In so doing, and in response to said filing, the marketmaker VFIN agreed to "adopt" EXPH out of the grays, and become the initial MM to begin trading EXPH stock.

4. Under the guidlines in place at the time of this so called "adoption", VFIN has tactical absolute control over the trading of EXPH for a calender period of one month.

5. As any reasonable person can see by carefully viewing trading action on Level 2, VFIN has "layed off" most the the action in the issue to the well known powerful market maker NITE. "Layed off" is an old gambling term, it means; "passed along the action to".

6. So, if one begins with that premise (and the evidence thus far certainly overwhelmingly supports such thought) then NITE (by VFIN's expressed consent) has been allowed to practically control this stock since day one on the pink sheets.

7. This condition as it exists at the moment with EXPH is known as "non-piggyback qualified".

Translation:

Marketmakers are allowed to join in without the adopting marketmakers consent and trade in a security that is "piggyback qualified", that is, trade on the back and in concert with the original adopting marketmaker. This is a condition that creates a more stable trading platform as there is no single controlling factor, rather, a number of bidders and sellers that combine to maintain a more orderly market. At this moment, EXPH is "non-piggyback qualified" for a few more days.

8. But in reality, due to the 30 day rule under which VFIN is legally operating, EXPH trades have been layed off to NITE for the past three weeks. This is not uncommon or illegal, all informed folks that trade these stocks know of NITE's all encompassing market presence. VFIN, with their adoptive legal position (as short term as it is, 30 days) over the stock, has the authority to make such decisions, and has chosen to take only a limited role as the adoptive parent in regard to the trading of EXPH.

Translation in laypersons speak and for illustrative purposes:

VFIN "adopted" EXPH when she was 17 years and 11 months old, just short by a month of becoming the "legal" age of 18.

EXPH needed an adoptive "parent" to get them out of the grays (the juvenile facility of the markets for lack of a better term). VFIN agreed to be the legal "parent".

In exchange, VFIN is allowed total control of the stock for a period of 30 days. When EXPH turns 18 years old (30 days from EXPH's June 7th first trading day in the pinks), VFIN loses legal authority (and sole legal custody) over the stock and other market makers are allowed to "piggyback" on VFIN's adoptive position.

This issue will begin to trade like a normal security with several market makers competing, very soon after VFIN loses control.

Finally, as stated in earlier comments, this is fact, not simply theory or speculation, I offer the following links to support my conclusions;

1. Link to Pinksheets.com website that discusses the form 211 filings and the related "adoptive" conditions mentioned therein;

When you link this, scroll down and see the references discussed in detail; 211 filing, 15-c2-11, and finally, "piggyback rule", and so on.

After you have reviewed and considered this information, go to this Pinksheets.com link concerning EXPH and see for yourself its current "non-piggyback qualified" status.

While you puruse this link, kindly note that the CEO has provided you with real time quotes on EXPH. He believes this is an important service to any interested shareholder, therefore, he is paying Pinksheets to have the quotes on the stock transmitted live to you via this link.

I hope that this information sheds light on the recent trading action involving EXPH.

Those of you who know me realize that I perform much due diligence before I alert any stock. I never alert any stock on a fundemental basis until I have spoken with at least one of the principal officers of the firm, usually the CEO. I cannot and will not ask you to make a financial commitment to an issue or situation without using every resource I have to to confirm the viability and validity of any subject alerted issue. I have a large position in every issue I alert.

I state the facts as they are discovered, good or bad, and keep all updated as to current developments as they are discovered.

I have found there is much lacking in the due diligence area concerning these low caps, my intention is to sift through all the silt, and come up with some true gems in this Pinksheet pile of diluted fraud ridden rubble.

It is my sincere belief, that the only way to achieve this goal is to individually perform exhaustive research and discover the credibility and intentions of management. My staff and I undertake these investigations without regard to expense and time considerations, our reach is global, and every possible resource at our disposal is utilized to its fullest extent. This could be the reason for my 500.00 cell phone bills, lol.

The CEO of EXPH, J. D. Brown, built his company for years before deciding to merge into the EXPH shell, he didn't do it the other way around like many pink sheet CEO's. He walked in this shell with over 4 million in revenues and impressive profits. The fact is he had Fortune 500 member NYSE:LOW Lowe's and many other large clients before he merged into the shell. He didn't get the shell, and announce intentions of getting large clients, he had them in his pockets for years, before he came to this public vehicle.

You judge an person by his or her actions, rather than words.

Thus far, he is a dream CEO for a public shareholder, for instance, he initiated a real share buyback program within days of being listed on the pinks, knowing that the stock was undervalued.

Find me a company listed in the pinks that has actually undertaken such a step and followed through on it. While you are at it, find me another pink sheet that employs the giant Morgan Stanley investment banking firm to facilitate and enact it's well planned buyback program. Good luck, I'll be waiting for your reply.

Just so you know, I have daily contact with Mr. Brown, I do with many CEO's of my alerted stocks. It is my job to keep this line of communication open, as I have a responsibility to you, my loyal followers.

Please know that Mr. Brown is concerned about shareholder value, after all, his family and friends own over 75% of the outstanding shares. This of course, includes early backer and friend Karl Malone.

I can tell you this, Mr. Brown welcomes all contact with current shareholders and folks that have an interest in EXPH in any way.

Let me know if you wish to contact him with your own comments or questions, or simply give his office a call.

Yesterday, during my conversation with him, he indicated that he is going to contact VFIN to determine the exact date they relinquish their adoptive authority of EXPH stock.

I will update you as soon as he lets me know the exact day, I will give you the exact date when I know it, as of this moment, it looks to be July 7. As there is the July 4th market holiday in play, he will find out today the exact date and relay it to me via telephone and I will post it here.

Let me know if you have any questions about these or other matters.

All the best to you and yours.
