Full disclosure would include form 3's etc. Would it not?
And since you are one to "call a spade a spade", why not simply describe Expo Holdings, in it's current status, as a NON reporting company? To infer they electively report is a tad bit misleading given the fact that the fins are beyond late. Sticking with the same theme-"calling a spade a spade"- the last fins on file also included some rather alarming language in regards to the amount of missing data, which was noted and commented upon in the document.

"Management has elected to OMIT SUBSTANTIALLY ALL of the disclosures and the statement of CASH FLOWS required by generally accepted accounting principles. If the OMITTED disclosures and statement of cash flows were included in the financial statements they might influence the user's conclusions about the company's financial positions, results of operations and cash flows."

Does this sound like a Management team dedicated to "full transparency? Before answering , please remember to "call a spade a spade." Thanks

you are welcome

it's an *electively* reporting co. on the OTC
if one wants to use the term NON reporting .. i'm
certainly not gonna argue ~ as i've posted (too many
times to count) one has to do their respective DD
and base their decisions on that DD

as i've also posted out *repeatedly* .. i look forward
to the commentary post 9/1/2010 .. since it's very clear
to those of us who've done our DD ~ that not only will
there be a NEW CEO .. to *discuss* but as part of that
*PKG* .. what *most* would consider FULL TRANSPARENCY
is en route and to answer someone else who asked .. yep
imo that would include form 3's

so again if one can't ascertain why *strategies* would
be utilized to counter other factors .. that is their choice
it's not mine

it's very clear that it's DO or DIE TIME and i have zero doubts
that both *CURRENT* MGMT and UPCOMING MGMT understand that

if they don't and 9/1/10 is a *disappointment* .. rest assured
i will not be an EXPH SOR in 2011

however if they do what i think will do ~ odds are i'll be
*invested* in EXPO VIA EXPH .. thru uplist which i'm thinking
happens late 2011 or early into 2012

as things go that is still a ways away ~ and not an area
i focus on at the present ~

as for the post this one links to ~

mistakes .. well one would have *to agree* with me that
the 2 stock runs were *orchestrated* by others .. imo
one of the aspects *this time around* i'm expecting
is a content driven *run* meaning that my expectations
are that the co. is prepared for that ~ *tarheeler*


and while it's always nice to focus on that which the
co. has no control over ~ i focus on that which
they do *control* ~ that is why i'm expecting:

co. meets and pr's fins for 2009 (guidance was 4M - 6M)
q4 is possibly audited
form 3s are filed on co. insiders showing shares held
q1 and q2 are pr'd on or around 9/1
short term guidance is *reiterated* for 2010 (not the
full year but the q upcoming

and while it's easy to criticize the WW debacle .. because
i knew for a fact that WW corporate would receive in *ahem*
calls (it's a tactic undertaken by certain entities) and
i also warned *current* MGMT they could expect that to
happen .. they released the PR and then subsequently
retracted it ~ however those who've done their DD know
exactly which WW locations had ETC product
the percentage was minor but they did *exist*

again with the ceo's passing and the *enterprise*
up for sale ~ it's really a moot point at this moment
in time ~ it may not be again when WW is sold ~ if i
were *ahem* NEW to this venue *tarheeler*
i'd be wondering what other entities might have an interest
in carrying the ETC products and do some DD in that *regard

and that is about close to *hinting* as i'll go ~ remember
one fact MGMT made clear back at their SM last december

only *EVENTS* considered MATERIAL would be PR'D .. from
memory there are 10 for 6.75 months of 2010 ~ 6 of them
came in just the last 5 weeks ~ without disclosing my DD
something i never do .. the best hint i can give is for
folks to read the last 6 pr's and then if one has real
world business experience ~ try and connect the dots

it's rather obvious something is being worked on .. the
only question i have is it *regional* or national .. since
i'm *conservative* i'd say it's regional in nature and
without a doubt pertains to ETC *products*

as for the 2nd point and *accessing* capital .. now you
know why i was all for the ETC spin off as a private entity
far easier to access capital ~ sorry you missed this previously
but as an *actual* EXPH SOR .. i actually did *register* my
request with MGMT since it was clear based on last fall's PR's
that they were *seeking* the advice from consultants ..

i suspect my *advice* differed from the pros .. my advice was
once it was known that ETC couldn't be spun off .. that of the
2 choices *obviously* presented .. R/S .. or raise the AS
my vote and my MILLIONS of EXPH shares would vote for raising the AS

funny thing about *common shareholders* ~ MGMT is as well =D

i have to say in 10 years of *reading* it's somewhat UNIQUE
seeing *posts* wanting MGMT to hold pref'd over common shares
that one does make me chuckle

and as i'll *reiterate* again ~ tongue firmly planted in cheek

it's odd how those SOR who've actually taken their time and visited the plant
talked to the employees ~ watched product being made ..
observed the tractor trailers being loaded ~ haven't *announced* they've sold ~
instead (at least the ones i chat with) have *continued to buy EXPH SHARES* or just sit tight

ironically i suspect the most vocal *critics* .. have never interacted
with either MGMT or taken the time to visit

.. and *some* this time last year
were extolling the virtues of both MGMT and the co. being
(you guessed it) electively reporting

one of the reasons i'm so curious about who *attends* from
this SMB and then posts .. is i believe we are still
*waiting* upon a *promised* update from a few weeks back
from one who's been critical but was due to meet with MGMT
back in early JUNE ..

and absolutely no offense .. but i've enlightened this board
as to exactly what i expect over the coming weeks .. up to
and including the *shares* the new ceo will get as part of
his compensation pkg .. if it hasn't sunk in for some by now
then it's doubtful my continued postings will change that :)

i'm always interested in what others anticipate and on what
time line they are factoring ~ if all the info on offer is
scam or liar .. i'll pass on that *insight*

btw .. one other pc of advice i've given to current MGMT
is while sox creates the toxic loopholes ~ and *crippling*
expense .. i see little *value* to uplist to what was known
as the OTC BB (now for sale by finra) and now going by OTC QB

for those not aware ~ here's an article giving a little more detail on the subject

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/otcqb-marketplace-launched-by-pink-otc-markets-89903542.html

what i would *expect* is this new MGMT to seek timely
reporting and if i'm reading full transparency correctly
the co.s annual being audited ~ there is a lot to be said
for q's and K's coming out on time (q's run 45 days and K's
run 90) that with form 3's and SHORT TERM GUIDANCE GIVEN
is what i ask for ~ updates on products shipped and billed
would be *heaven*

right now the share structure isn't exactly what i focus on
it will be in about a year to 14 months .. but that is moi

btw .. since i never (at this level base my decisions on
the PPS due to *extreme* gyrations) i also fully recognize
that *rarely* does the market cap give an *accurate* take

hence why i'm so curious as to where EXPH'S PPS stands when
all expected forthcoming *content* is digested

let's plan to *chat* on 9/3/10 (i may be traveling on 9/2)
