Thanks for posting that Jerry.

I really do not understand the answer to question 3. Does anyone here?

Q: For what purpose did the company loan out this money?

A: Collateralization of loan and other various uses.


The company loaned them money to collateralize a loan? Huh?

So let's say they put their houses up against a $300k loan for company equipment... they then personally borrowed $300k from the company to offset the collateral for the loan. Make sense?

Wouldn't the correct thing to do be to just take the $300k from the company and use it to pay off the loan and then their houses would no longer be on the hook as collateral?

The only thing I can say about that Jerry is I'm glad he finally told someone what we probably already assumed. Seems to me he could have come clean about this a long time ago and averted all the hoopla. Like I said, at least I can at least believe it.

Gee..and I thought the company wouldn't respond to tough questions..Although anyone could have called and received the same answer..it does require only a name for a response..

As far as shareholders only caring about no new dilution..Well Jeremiah..that is on the top of my list and should be on top of the list of everyone invested in EXPH because of what it means to the overall state of the company..I could care less about all the other speculation that abounds..including claims of any (COULD BE) lawsuit..

What matters the most..

The company is surviving this economy which has closed the doors of much bigger companies without diluting further shares in over a half a year..

and of course..paying down debt with COH..

I look forward to any other questions submitted to the company and the answers they give..Thanks...veno

Dear Mr. Thomas....I am confused by parts of your email too. Not the questions...the answers. If the vast majority of the loan made to Harrs and Brown was from D&D Displays as a private entity and Expo Holdings assumed the assets and the debt of D&D Displays and is showing the entire "shareholder advance" on their balance sheets (even as late as 12-31-2009 where it had risen from the original $346,606 to $399,117) then the LOAN is from Expo Holdings to Harrs and Brown and it doesn't make a DAMN when and where the thing was sourced.

You have been fed a misleading crock of **** my friend. Doublespeak in triplicate. The reason you didn't get the terms are because that loan may be being serviced as to the interest rates it bears by the shareholders of Expo Holdings, Inc....just like they may have been being serviced out of the pockets of the shareholders of the private company D&D Displays...who were Brown and Harrs ONLY. That loan, IMHO, was nothing more than a bailout of Harrs and Brown by the shareholders of Expo Holdings, Inc. and that can be further evidenced by the loan taken by Expo Holdings bearing interest at $10K per month when the company was first formed and they assumed (restructured) the portion of that loan from D&D. Write Brown and ask him these questions:

1) What is the detailed definition of "other various uses"? It is irrelevant when and where the loan was sourced. The entire advance and it's history are now entirely an asset of a public corporation I own part of and I have a right to know precisely what the money was lent to you and Harrs for. In fact, I'd like a detailed accounting.

2) Was this "loan" of $302,990.00 that was absorbed by Expo Holdings "taken over" from D&D from a conventional lending institution? Or was it simply an asset of cash lent from the assets of D&D to the two officers that was transferred during the reverse merger from one balance sheet to the other? If the advance was sustained by a conventional loan borrowed by D&D, was any or all of that "loan" "paid off" by Expo Holdings and/or restructured? If so, how?

3) There was a relatively similar amount of money ($462,500) borrowed from a line of credit opened by Expo Holdings at an interest rate of $10K per month very early in the corporation's formation. What specific correlation(s) to that line of credit is this "shareholder advance" to Harrs and Brown? Did Harrs and/or Brown receive any portion of that $462,500 (beyond the $75K+/- "advance applicable to Expo Holdings only previously mentioned) for any reason relating to the $303K "advance" transferred from D&D's balance sheet to Expo's?

4) Has there been an interest rate imposed or negated on the advance to Brown and Harrs since it's assumption by Expo Holdings? If there is an interest rate, are the officers paying this interest rate IN FULL? What factor(s) are responsible for the fluctuation in the balance of the "shareholder advance" between 12-31-2006 and 12-31-2009 the last date at which we have a verifiable accounted balance ($399,117) for it? Is it due to Brown and Harrs tapping into the advance for additional personal cash? Paying down an ever increasing total due to interest accumulation? What exact reason(s)?

Once again, being a shareholder of a corporation which has assumed this entire "advance" as well as it's history, I feel I have a right to know this information.


It don't pass the fish smell test with me, big guy. You need to push a little harder on this one. Go Jerry....

All IMHO.

Jerry...perhaps JD would like the opportunity to expand his answer to question #1.


*source- Quartery filings available on pink sheets.

From 1st quarter 2007- "The net outstanding ADVANCES receivable due from STOCHOLDERS at MARCH 31, 2007 Totaled $185,726"

From 2nd quarter 2007- "Advances-shareholders as of JUNE 30th, 2007 $340,826"



$155,100 loaned/advanced to JD and Glenn from the public company between March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007.

The outstanding balance as of dec. 31, 2009 was roughly $399,000.

JD's answer to question #2- Obvious and correct.
JD's answer to question #3- garbage amounting to "no comment"
JD's answer to question #4- see question #3
JD's answer to question #5- see questions #3 and #4
JD's answer to question #6- not forthright in nature.

Will Hartley was highlighted in a press release issued on May, 25th, 2010.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/05/25/idUS197266+25-May-2010+BW20100525

From the Press release: Will Hartley, President,Builders Choice,"I am very excited about the opportunity to join the Expo team. My new position as SENIOR V.P. residential sales allows me to serve our customers while being part of a larger effort."

Will Hartley no longer works for Cima/Expo. He is employed with WALZCRAFT...per his profile page on sawdustsoup. com

http://www.sawdustsoup.com/profile/WillHartley

Let JD know which Mr. Hartley was in question.

Perhaps JD would like to explain his reasoning behind taking money from the company because he gauranteed a loan. Is JD making the payment on these loans? LOL....of course not ..the company is!


welcome to a preview of the FAQ section of the EXPO website.

#99202 RE: Jeremiah #99142

Jerry... perhaps JD would like to expand on the following:



JD's very own words:

8/30/2010- "The company has recently completed it's loan agreements and now owns outright 3 of it's forklifts, and ALL of it's other material handling equipment, including CONVEYERS."

however...in an apparent attempt to justify NOT repaying the company.....

more words of wisdom from JD:


7/25/2010- "Nor has Glenn Harrs and J. D. Brown been releieved from responsibility of loans OUTSTANDING by the company from banks,vendors, suppliers and Machinery Financiers."

I thought the COMPANY balance sheet was being cleaned up?

Regarding the 3 forklifts....if the company owns these "outright" why is an active UCC still on file showing three forklifts being covered by a finance statement?

Regarding all of it's other material handling equipment... if it is ALL paid off and company owned-OUTRIGHT...why does the same financing statement show the following?:

Altendorf F-45 Slider 3400 & ASSOCIATED ACCESSORIES- SN:0106154
Optimat BHC weeke & ASSOCIATED ACCESSORIES- SN:0250130800

EB Brandt Optimat KD55 & ASSOCIATED ACCESSORIES- SN:0261027804
Homag SE 6400 with RETURN- SN:0200081886

Mitsubishi forklift SN:AF3D00055
Caterpillar forklift SN:3AB01914
Toyota forklift SN:61830

As a follow up..the actual serial numbers are included...with this in mind...perhaps JD would like to answer a simple question:

Has the company sold or disposed of any of the equipment listed above?
If yes, ..on what date was the machinery sold?

Perhaps JD could enlighten shareholders regarding the creation of Wilkes Holdings LLC...and the "sale " of the land and buildings- 116 shaver street.

JD...given the companies declining sales at the time you sold the shaver street facility and land...why would you do such a thing? The end result was the company's rent went from $5100 per-month to nearly $20,000 per-month. Why did you do this?



Wilkes Holdings is located at 116 Shaver Street.
Has Wilkes Holdings, since it's birth, ever been issued a check, received compensation electronically or received payment in any way shape or form from either Expo Holdings or D&D Displays?
