Braden,

Thank you for your positive attitude on the board, your DD, and your appreciation. Yes, I believe there were 14 of us in attendance at the last CC. We all were able to tour the plant, see some completed orders, see orders in process, see the way their machines operate, see the capabilities of their equipment, conversate one-on-one with JD, and also eat lunch with the JD.

It was a great experience and really solidified the validity of EXPH. As most everyone that has met or spoke with JD, he is a straight shooter that cares for his company and shareholders.

I hope that additional shareholders will be able to make the 4th qrtr shareholder's meeting, as I am already planning and looking forward to attending. However, this time I will be an even happier man, as I will have added many more shares since that time.

“Economic growth is a pillar of American freedom,” Foxx said. “I’m excited to see the progress that D&D Displays has made in Wilkes County to create good jobs and boost the local economy.

D&D Displays announced a new project this week that could provide up to $22 million in new revenue for the North Wilkesboro-based company. Company CEO James D. Brown said that the company hopes to more than double its Wilkes employment rolls thanks to the new project.

“Success stories like D&D Displays will help strengthen our economy,” Foxx said. “The simple fact is that strong businesses create good jobs and Congress must do everything it can to create an economic environment in which businesses can create jobs and thrive.”

"D&D Displays is an American company producing American products, right here in North Carolina,” Brown said. “We would like to thank Congresswoman Foxx for her help in keeping manufacturing jobs here in North Carolina. With our newest Milestone reached, we should DOUBLE IF NOT TRIPLE OUR EMPLOYMENT BASE IN 2009. Congresswoman Foxx's support for the local Chamber of Commerce and her active role in our community has helped companies like ours grow and prosper in a tough economy."
