no. 8 was news to me .. jd mentioned
that individual in this blurb from the
website .. from march 23rd

3/23/2010 2:03:27 PM

A shareholder representing over 50,000,000 common shares of the company has tendered an offer for the controlling interest in the company at a 25% premium to market valuation on a specific future date. Accordingly, a maximum cap to the offer has been also placed by the shareholder. This statement is intended to inform shareholders of the offer.

but the 7 are as close to being accurate
without an audit .. again it comes down
to knowing who and whether one believes
what has been stated numerous times by mgmt

i do ~

obviously only 3 are considered co. insiders
(jd/glenn/km) .. but as i've explained previously
i've been a sor since late summer 2008 and have
no doubts about what is held and by whom (again
up till no. 8 .. i'm specifically talking about
7 people which includes the 3 mentioned below)

3/17/2010 11:18:50 AM

James D. Brown, CEO, stated, "I will be stepping down as CEO on May 1, 2010, and will intensely focus my time and attention on the sales and marketing portion of our business. During the recent 2-3 year nationwide economic decline, good decisions as well as mistakes have been made by the company at my direction. I alone am responsible for those mistakes and for the company's performance. At all times, I have had the company and it's shareholders interests at heart. I serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors who has unanimously (including my vote), came to this decision. Just for the record, to my knowledge, the company has always been honorable and is under no SEC or any other legal type investigation. This decision was based on numerous factors including but not limited to, profitability, growth, shareholder input, investor input, and shareholder value. I will pursue my new position with dogged determination and will leave the company helm in more than capable, experienced hands. The board of directors feels that 'new blood' is needed to spur growth, ingenuity, and to build shareholder value without the burdens of the past. Additionally, it is important to point out, that all insider shares (Glenn Harrs, James Brown, Karl Malone) remain restricted, and no applications for removal of a restriction has been made or will be made in the foreseeable future. I will continue to serve in my position as a member of the board of directors. This transitional process, and this announcement, should be viewed as a positive event, as it is entirely undertaken for the benefit of our shareholders. As recently as today, I have received numerous offers for the entirety my holdings in the company, all of which I have declined. I continue to feel we are grossly undervalued."

notice the date of this announcement by jd ~

3/10/2010 10:25:50 AM

The Company has decided to cancel its efforts to issue a private company dividend. Expo Holdings, Inc. will instead focus its attention on operating a division under the parent company Expo Holdings, Inc.

notice exph's 10 day avg *low* is hit on 3/18/10
over a week after jd's announcement about raising
the AS to 1.1B shares .. and 1 day after again
reiterating that none of the co. insiders have
sold one share

so i have to wonder about no. 8 .. in doing their
private placement did they choose to sell their
50M shares .. and plan to replace them with discounted
shares that are restricted? .. possible but as most of
us know for a fact .. for all those months with the
*rants* of dilution .. that were flat out false (and
the avgs have proved it daily for months on end) odds
are some flipping but i suspect it was mostly those
who can and do *short* doing what they do with EXPH

as i mentioned .. i'm still doing my DD on no. 8 ~

so i took my *list* of 7 .. who hold approx 800M shares
and added in the 110M that were just done (pp/restricted)
and presumed that the 50M held by no. 8 were sold .. tho'
i have no proof that they were ~ but i'll presume they were

that leaves pretty much everyone else dividing up 190M shares

what i'm finding ironic is once again the timing that is
known (jd's last day as ceo) and the unknown and what that
may entail timing wise .. news/fins/forms out pre or post 5/1 :)
