Didn't Emerson also write.. "if a man's company is indebted to the IRS to the tune of $127,139.77 due to a man's willful refusal to remit 941 payroll taxes, the company is doomed, shareholders are stuck and the man is in deep doo-doo." ??

a quality product or service is the one thing that a great company can be built upon.

Expo Holdings builds displays. You build a display to the specs a customer requires and it doesn't fall over when they use it, it's a "quality display". You make a profit doing that, then you are perceived to be running a business. Expo doesn't, therefore they sell shares to stay alive...and as of late suppliment that with stealing Federal tax witholdings. They tried to build cabinets. No one wanted them in qualtities large enough to generate profit (not that that is the goal of a company that set out to sell shares for a living to begin with). So they are where they are now. Busted. Broke. With the US Government Treasury Department holding a lien on 100% of their assets. And a few remaining woefully stuck shareholders desperate to make a case that Expo Holdings, Inc. is the exact opposite of the above description...and willing to do anything to make that prevaricative case float. Including imply that Expo is earning huge revenues and in the case of ETC, the sawdust doghouses and Cima, making many new businesses...as HAS been the message you have coyly promoted all along.

Had Emerson known of JD Brown, Glenn Harrs and Expo Holdings, Inc., his most famous quote may have gone a little more like this:

"If a man set out to get his shell corp registered in order to screw shareholders out of their equity, sell stock instead of products for a profit or pursue the absolutely insane course of stealing their employee's 941 witholding taxes from the US Treasury, though he build his hillbilly woodshop out in the weeds of NC, the SEC and Department of Justice will indeed eventually make a beaten path to his door."

Expo Holdings is broke, approaching the end of the only meaningful revenue producing contract they have ever had (the Lowes displays) and is being run by proven Federal tax evaders. There is absolutely NOTHING here that would interest a sane investor at any share price and to even imply there is, is to purposefully set out to deceive and cause the unwary to be parted from their money. Yeah, good afternoon...all IMHO.
