The company is proceeding with it's production of Cima brand cabinetry. The company is producing, shipping, and billing just in excess of $4,000 per day worth of this product.

The company is adding additional equipment, including but not limited to, a heavy planer, a heavy belt/drum sander, and a new dedicated rip/table saw. These items will be purchased from cash on hand, and no debt will be incurred, nor will any fundraising be necessary. With the delivery of this extra equipment (expected in the next 5 business days), and a few new team-members, the company intends to ramp up production of Cima products by 25% in the next two weeks. The company also expects to double current production within 30 days. The company currently has a 90 day plus backlog of orders for Cima brand products.

While the company has met short term sales goals, the company has not met short term production goals regarding the Cima brand. The company is now making the aforementioned necessary infrastructure investments to meet it's business plan. Long term, the company's goal is to ship $30,000 per day worth of Cima brand cabinetry on a consistent basis. Shareholders are cautioned that this goal, while attainable, will most likely not occur in 2010. Shareholders should not expect significant profits related to the Cima brand in 2010. Shareholders should expect continued significant growth of this brand in 2010, and a significant contribution margin related to this brand.

Additionally, the company will be opening a new Cima showroom located in our facility at 116 Shaver Street, North Wilkesboro, NC. This showroom will be open to the general public, contractors, and existing customers. Information regarding completion of this showroom, and other planned showrooms will be announced.

The company has recently issued shares in support of its 2010 business plan. The company has a significant debt load, however, it is making progress. The company has two leases / loans related to equipment, one with BB&T and one with TCF Equipment Finance. The TCF agreement (originally over $250,000) has less than 10 months remaining at approximately $5,000 per month. The BB&T Agreement (originally over $191,000) has 5 months remaining at approximately $3,000 per month. The company intends to use additional capital to accelerate the payoff of these two major pieces of equipment. Once these two aforementioned loans / leases are paid in full, the company will focus on debts to individuals and organizations that have provided essentially "unsecured" loans. Resolution of these debts is critical to the company's plan to have a strong balance sheet by December 31, 2010. Further, the company has recently completed it's loan agreements and now owns outright 3 of its forklifts, and all of its other material handling equipment, including conveyers. All of these actions and intended actions are to strengthen the company's balance sheet. All of these actions and intended actions are in anticipation of a larger restructure of the company's credit facilities. The company expects lower operational costs and a lower selling, general, and administrative cost as a direct result of the elimination of this debt.

The company has no intentions of executing a reverse split of its common stock. Shareholders should expect product placement announcements once material events have occurred.

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.

Southern Community bank, the source of the original and new loan is a valued lender as the company continues to move forward with it's business plan. Earlier delays regarding this new loan were due to notifications that D&D, along with thousands of other NC based companies, received from the State of North Carolina Department of The Secretary of State.

In the letter from the Secretary, it stated we were in jeopardy of "Administrative Dissolution" due to not completing certain documents and not paying the $20.00, online fee.

James D. Brown, CEO, stated, "I will be stepping down as CEO on May 1, 2010, and will intensely focus my time and attention on the sales and marketing portion of our business. During the recent 2-3 year nationwide economic decline, good decisions as well as mistakes have been made by the company at my direction. I alone am responsible for those mistakes and for the company's performance. At all times, I have had the company and it's shareholders interests at heart. I serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors who has unanimously (including my vote), came to this decision. Just for the record, to my knowledge, the company has always been honorable and is under no SEC or any other legal type investigation. This decision was based on numerous factors including but not limited to, profitability, growth, shareholder input, investor input, and shareholder value. I will pursue my new position with dogged determination and will leave the company helm in more than capable, experienced hands. The board of directors feels that 'new blood' is needed to spur growth, ingenuity, and to build shareholder value without the burdens of the past. Additionally, it is important to point out, that all insider shares (Glenn Harrs, James Brown, Karl Malone) remain restricted, and no applications for removal of a restriction has been made or will be made in the foreseeable future. I will continue to serve in my position as a member of the board of directors. This transitional process, and this announcement, should be viewed as a positive event, as it is entirely undertaken for the benefit of our shareholders. As recently as today, I have received numerous offers for the entirety my holdings in the company, all of which I have declined. I continue to feel we are grossly undervalued."

Candidates for the company's top position are currently under review.

Glenn Harrs, President, stated, "Transitional periods are always tough. James is a life long friend, and a great leader. This decision was mutually decided in the interest of our company and it's shareholders, and in no way reflects negatively upon him. We are entering a new economic period, with new economic conditions and we believe new talent is needed to assist us in structuring for growth, and the promotion of our new brand etc. Easy Transitional Cabinetry. As the company moves forward towards complete transparency, and potential uplisting events, a successful candidate with leadership experience in the OTCBB arena is required. On a separate topic, we just wrapped up several orders for Harris Teeter and are working on several more. We are also nearing the finalization point with two companies on projects that are very significant. We expect to be releasing updates concerning these two projects in the near future."

James D. Brown, CEO, stated, "After careful consideration, the board of directors has agreed, to cancel any efforts to issue a private company dividend. Unforeseen difficulties in this process have prompted this final decision. Originally, the company intended to raise funds privately."

I would like to thank Thorsport racing for all of their fine work leading up to the NASCAR Camping World Series season-opening NextEra Energy Resources 250. While we were frustrated that both of our trucks were eliminated in the opening moments in a crash not of their making, we were very pleased with the exposure our brand received. We were able to begin many relationships in the days at Daytona and look forward to working with Matt, Duke, Pepper, Landon, and Johnny in the future. Additionally, a continued results driven B2B relationship with Thorsport racing is expected into the foreseeable future.

For Friday's Camping World truck series Daytona race, sponsoring the #98 Chevy driven by Landon Cassill and Co-sponsoring (with Tim McGraw) the #13 truck driven by Johnny Sauter is a great first step in raising brand awareness for etc. (Easy Trasitional Cabinetry), and for increasing the visibility of our easytoinstall.com website. We believe both the #13 and the #98 trucks could be contenders for a win at Daytona. Please join us Friday in cheering on Landon in the #98 easytoinstall.com / Southerncandle.com truck, as well as Johnny in the #13 Tim McGraw / easytoinstall.com / Southerncandle.com truck.

Along with other orders, the company is working to fulfill a large group of orders for use by Lowe's Companies Inc. Shipment should begin as early as today. The orders are to be shipped to over 1690 locations and include over 6770 flooring displays. The anticipated shipments for the next 3-5 business days exceeds $60,000.00. Check out our web-cam later today (and for the next few days), and you'll be able to see a small part of the manufacturing process for these displays. Visit us and see the whole process. If you would like to view these completed products in person, check back here in a few weeks and I'll leave a note on where they are installed in the retail locations. The company continues to execute its 2010 business plan. Those plans continue to include an anticipated spin-off dividend and the first retail implementation of ETC. (Easy Transitional Cabinetry) brand cabinets. Both of these tasks have proved to be more complicated than we originally thought. I personally made the error in estimating the time frames, therefore, I alone deserve the blame for the delay. We will not issue an anticipated time frame for completion, nor will we issue anticipated time frames in future. I have decided that a new philosophy regarding material events, will be adopted by Expo. That philosophy includes only releasing press releases when a material event has begun, or as an update, and or completion of a material event. It may surprise many to know that we do not consider the receipt of an order a material event. Orders can be cancelled, customers can go out of business, orders can be delayed (in this economic environment it happens frequently). We consider the start of the order a material event. Shareholders should expect continued sales volatility as economic conditions nationwide continue to be unpredictable. This forum will be used on a regular basis to communicate with Expo's valued shareholders.
