EP, somebody in our P2O tour group asked John about the link between "proof" of P2O and uplisting. John replied rather categorically that there is no connection between the two -- that the exchange has criteria which are qualitative and quantitative, but that exclude the type of business or profitability of any individual business lines.
i.e. on the basis of having a viable company (with Javaco, Pak-It, and JB Inc), uplisting can happen.
One of the reasons I find JBII such a compelling BUY today is that even if P2O fails miserably, with the ramp-up of Pak-It in Canada, UK, China and going retail -- and Javaco + Data Recovery, I believe the PPS has a solid base above a couple of bucks without P2O.
