why the constant *confusion* and mixing together various data put out by expo mgmt?
if one were reading this info for the first time .. they could be excused for thinking this post (which *oddly* enough pulls together 3 completely disparate products and 2 customers and blends them into one entity)
i have to ask why?
--
there is nothing to signify that this ETC product is doing anything except sitting in a corner. The big push is a 2 year old deal that was delayed supposedly yet now restored. To the tune of what? 18 displays and a larger order, say 36, in the US????
Just because that deal may be relooked at doesn't mean its worth that much anymore...Maybe $500k this year(???), enough to keep the lights on so they can P&D some more shares????
-- fact ~ ETC (which wasn't even *named* until last summer) wasn't a *known* entity till 2009 .. it's not sitting off in a corner but the reality is aspects from very early 2010 did have an impact
and what *exactly* do the 18 displays have to do with the now *resumed* 2 year *delayed* milestone project with a given dollar value and time frame out of mgmt?
you do realize .. mgmt has given details on *both* and they aren't one and the same?
the 18 displays shipped into CANADA is with lowes =D oh and if help is needed sorting DD out .... ;-) this is from the shareholder's section of the expo website

The company has completed 18 displays for use in Lowe's stores located in Canada. These flooring displays are visible in all of the Canadian Lowe's stores and wear the "Proudly made by D&D Display's" gold label. These products are part of a larger program to be completed in the US.
the other is the milestone project also *noted* on the expo website 4/2/2010 9:33:22 AM
Efforts have resumed regarding the company's previously announced 2008 "Milestone" project. While this project had been delayed by the end customer (presumably due to prevailing economic conditions), it was not cancelled. The company expects to resume heavy shipments. This project, provided no additional delays are encountered, will most likely be the largest scale and sales volume project in the company's history. Since this project is multi-year in nature, shareholders should not expect swift completion of this project.
The company is operating under a non-disclosure agreement signed in 2008, however, the company expects public disclosure of our customer (with customer consent) as part of the traditional bank financing package that will be required for this project. The company will seek increased credit from Crestmark bank to support this project.
folks who've done their DD .. know exactly who this customer is
