ManagementteamofEFGO & Townhall: Infoquelle u.a.
THe company has claimed there will not be any share structure increases and the bashers on the board [IHUB] keep claiming there will be 2 billion additional shares added to the O/S at anytime if not already.
The 2 billion shares are restricted under Rule 144, and subject to the trading restrictions under that rule. They will not hit the market as free trading any time soon, and then, only in quantities limited by Rule 144 relating to market activity.
Is it possible that there will be a reverse split now, which would not affect Mr. Winters shares? This has come up on message boards since this news was posted, and I guess I am just looking for a little reassurance :). Some have posted that a r/s can be a good thing, my experience so far (which I admit is limited), it has really been a bad thing.
So far I am very please with what is going on so far, and the frequent communcation from the company is much appreciated.
Thank you for your time .
Should there be any reverse split in the future, the number of votes per preferred share would be reduced on a pro-rata basis to preserve the status quo. Again, the Company will not execute a reverse split solely to reduce the number of shares outstanding. It will only be considered if a major new business development required.
CEO Garr Winters LongevityPosted in Investor Relations at 10:40 pm by EricTheRed
QUESTION:
There is a lot of talk about Mr. Winters leaving at the end of the year. Is this true?I believe he is doing a great job of moving this company forward this year and I for one would like to see him continue in his role, with his direction, this is only the beginning of even greater things to come.
RESPONSE:
We’ve been trying very hard to convince him to stay. That is one of the reasons we reached an accord to transfer some of Minaco-Tradex’s preferred shares to him.We will let him comment further himself. Look for it shortly on the Town Hall. .

Auditied FinancialsPosted in Uncategorized, Investor Relations at 10:24 pm by Chris
QUESTION:
Why isn’t EFGO auditing financials?
Thanks
RESPONSE:
We intend to provide audited statements when appropriate, most likely for the 2007 year-end. Auditing quarterlies is an expensive and time-consuming exercise. The year-end numbers will be much more meaningful.Additionally, it will become much more relevant to issue audited statements once the revenues have started to ramp up. At this point, we have advised stakeholders that we have not yet begun to recognize significant increases to top-line revenue. It makes more sense to audit statements after we have started to achieve significant growth, to validate the accuracy of the increases in revenue, cash flow and assets after they start being realized.Most accounting disasters relate to inflated earnings and assets, and have an impact on shareholders when they buy and/or hold shares based on these inflated numbers, and then lose money when earnings have to be re-stated downwards.
We are not yet a large Blue Chip large-cap Company. There is much more upside potential than downside. We have ambitious plans. We don’t intend to let them get derailed by running out of cash, and we will continue to preserve liquid assets to the greatest extent possible.
We hope this addresses your concerns.

Garr/Minaco-TradeX sharesPosted in Announcements, Investor Relations at 10:05 pm by EricTheRed
QUESTION:
I think that is great news that Garr will be here next year to continue to run the company.Some concerns after reading these post need answered.
I thought the preferred shares were only 2000, obviously Gar can not live off of a portion of these. So how many shares do Minaco-TradeX own and how/when did this happen?
It was stated these shares are the same as our common shares only with 30,000: 1 voting rights. Again how can he live off that.
Still concerned about losing my share count after the O/S has double since buying my shares, giving me ½ the percentage to O/S I had before.
RESPONSE:
First, we must clarify that he has not agreed to stay and run the Company. We are discussing an ongoing role in the Company. However, he has other business interests that will conflict with him staying on a full-time basis. He will comment shortly on the Town Hall himself.
To the first question, Garr is a very successful businessman. He does not need to sell shares to survive financially. That is why he turned the shares back to the Company. To be able to sell a few shares in bits and pieces is not worth the trouble (as an insider there are still stiff restrictions on the number of shares he can sell). He does, however, deserve to be compensated for all of the work he has done. If and when we close some of the major deals on the table, he will have earned the right to be properly compensated. That is the intent of transferring dome of the preferred shares to him. That provides the opportunity for him to be compensated in the future. Both the Company and Minaco-Tradex have recognized this factor, and this is the simplest way to provide compensation at a future date commensurate with his actual performance.The preferred shares are preferred in only one respect, and that is their multiple voting rights of 30,000,000 per share. There is no current market for them. They were issued to Minaco-Tradex exactly as announced. There are only 2,000 issued. They are currently all held by Minaco-Tradex. The transaction to transfer a portion of them to Mr. Winters has not yet been executed. All parties are acting simply on good faith.
As for your last question, the answer is also straightforward. While your percentage of the Company may be less than it was, we believe the assets acquired have added substantially more than the dilution factor. Like the age old addage; Would you rather have 100% of nothing, or half of something valuable?
Esprit will either grow, or wither on the vine. Under Garr’s leadership, the Company has taken an aggressive approach to growth, by diversifying into new areas that trade on the Company’s core competencies. Obviously we can’t expect to hit a home run on every single initiative. However, we have had a lot more opportunities ‘at bat’ since the strategic change. If only one deals works out well, the Company will be far ahead of where it would have been. We believe our actual batting percentage is going to be a lot more respectable than that.
Once we start closing contracts on the table, we should be able to silence all the naysayers. In the mean time, all the ‘chicken little contingent’ has been able to do is scare away a couple of potential deals with their endless criticisms, as well as potential new investors.
We look forward to the opportunity to shut them up once and for all. Why a shareholder would constantly complain while insisting they are ‘long’ is beyond us. If they think Esprit is such a terrible Company, sell and move on. Be a man, take your loss, and go invest brilliantly somewhere else.
Otherwise, be quiet and give us a chance to prove the value of what we are working on. Remember, when Xerox made the first duplicating machine, they thought it was a solution to a question that no one had asked, and expected it to go nowhere. Whoops. That turned out to be a bit of an under-estimate. Everyone wrote off Apple, until they came back.
Enough said.

Nevada S.O.SPosted in Investor Relations at 9:28 pm by thamsgt
QUESTION:
According to this September Nevada Sec of state Hugo Rubio is still affliated with Cash Now. Am I reading this correctly? To what capacity is Rubio affiliated with Espirit? I thought he was gone?
RESPONSE:
Hugo Rubio continues to be a director of the Company. That has not changed. His role is simply the same as any director of public company, which means that he is not actively involved in the daily operations of the Company. However, he does have a fiduciary duty to protect the interests of the shareholders at all times.

10.09.07Investor Awareness CampaignPosted in Investor Relations at 8:20 pm by adol77dai51
QUESTION:
I see where ConnectAJet.com (cajt) has been running and investor awareness campaign for the last couple weeks, which includes a full page ad in the USA Today daily paper. Their stock has went from approx. $1.25 to $2.75. This has obviously work for them.
Is this the kind of full out exposure you are going to do? And when will this campaign start.
RESPONSE:
That’s a little out of our league. A full page ad runs roughly $150,000 per insertion. Our campaigns have been online, using websites, newsletters etc. targetted to micro cap investors. When we can announce major news, we can ramp up an online campaign and spend more aggressively.

Great days ahead!!!Posted in Investor Relations at 8:09 pm by GoVols1
To the EFGO staff,
Thanks guys for keeping the communication lines open for us. Between the returned emails and the Town Hall, most all my questions are always answered. I understand that all my emails can not be answered as it may effect progress and could be considered inside information, but it’s obvious to me that you try your best to answer all the questions that you can. I’m very anxious to here about the progress in China and with IFGX as well. At these levels, I consider EFGO to be one of the greatest potential investments of the year. Thanks for your efforts and keep up the good work!!!

I’m behind you EFGO! [Reverse Split]Posted in Investor Relations at 8:09 pm by planetoid_cranium
COMMENT;
Many trader’s are sitting on pins and needles- struggling for any information to calm their fears. Many do not understand the options that are available to public companies- to make money! That’s what is all about, really. Ponder this: EFGO has many options through themselves and the aquired shell companies. Obviously- selling the shell companies would be an instant source of cash and revenue stream- depending on how the deal is structured. Although, that affects the balance sheet, and the value of the company- most are worried about EFGO proper. Many are worried about a R/S. Don’t! A reverse split is most likely inevitable, and quite frankly- needed at some point. The O/S are ridiculous. For EFGO to be a major player in the financial sector- it’s O/S must be under 800million at some point! It is wishful thinking- to expect EFGO to buyback billions of shares. This is not ecomically feasible, or time capable! They would only be able to buy back up to 25% of the daily trading volume- do the math- it would take a long time. A R/S is the only option- but traders fear a R/S- concentrating on the reduction of shares- not the increase of value per share, or the range those shares can increase- if a company like EFGO is strong, with GOOD HORIZONS! Many will disagree with me- until they truly THINK about it. A 10:1 REVERSE SPLIT is NOTHING TO INVESTORS(investors have millions of shares)- BUT EVERYTHING to the VALUE OF EFGO, and ultimately to the INVESTORS PROFITABILITY! For those who agree- see you at the finish line. For those who don’t- SELL ME YOUR SHARES.
RESPONSE:
We will not do a reverse split just to reduce the number of shares. The bottom line, it is the market cap that is important in valuing Company shares. If the PPS goes to .001, the market cap rises to $10 million, .002 equals $20 million. A reverse split would not change the market cap, only the value of each share. We don’t think our shareholders will complain if they have 10 million shares worth $10,000 or 1,000 shares worth the same amount. Of course, the higher, the better.Yes, we may have to address the number of shares in the future, but from a position of strength, after we have proven the true value of the Company
As previously noted, this could coincide with a major business development that requires this type of adjustment.

Please answer the check 21 questionPosted in Announcements, Investor Relations at 7:56 pm by thamsgt
QUESTION:
As I have mentioned many shareholders don’t quite understand the check21 process can someone explain it in laymens terms………….Thanks.
RESPONSE:
“Check 21″ (Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act) is an U.S. federal law that became effective on October 28, 2004. It is designed to enable banks to handle more checks electronically, which should make check processing faster and more efficient.As of mid-2006, most banks physically moved original paper checks from the bank where the checks were deposited to the bank that paid them. This transportation can be inefficient and costly.
With check 21, the original checks are scanned (front and back) and then cleared electronically. This radically speeds up the check clearing process, as the paper checks no longer have to be transported, sorted, cleared, returned to the originating bank etc. Usually 80% of the funds of a check deposit are available to the depositor within 24 hours, and the remaining funds within 48.
If necessary, Check 21 allows for the creation of “Substitute Checks” from check images. These Substitute Checks are essentially a printout of the original check, have the same legal status can be processed in the same way.
For U.S. denominated checks that are deposited overseas, this increased efficiency is much more dramatic. A U.S. check deposited in China can take up to five weeks to clear. Check 21 will clear it in a fraction of that time. It therefore becomes a very valuable convenience for the party depositing the check, in exchange for a small service fee.

WTH?Posted in Investor Relations at 8:08 pm by planetoid_cranium
COMMENT;
If you please-I think it is curious: that most town hall posts are coming from adol77dai51. Is this a psuedoname for the administrator of the town hall forum? If it isn’t- I think most answers could be e-mailed to him/her! This person is obviously a novice with the inability to understand a simple employee “pay package”! If it is- stop trying to manipulate the forum- with propoganda- and just start answering REAL investor posts! Thank you.
RESPONSE;
We only answer legitimate questions that have been posed to Esprit from outside sources. Often, the same question is asked by a number of different people. We take editorial license, and post a single question rather than repeating the same response to multiple enquiries. We edit out inappropriate language, but generally try to leave the questions intact (including the odd spelling mistake). If you scan through the Town Hall posts, you will see that a number of questions posted are challenging, if not outright confrontational.We usually cut and paste questions from various questions and sources, which accounts for the adol77dai51 links.
We often get feedback from posters who are surpised that we had the courage to post there questions as asked.
You will note that we toned down the Headline in this post, but oterhwise left your comment intact, as per standard policy.
