Ok, so I will ask, ESSX poles no longer exist or will giant jr corp continue to make them...........even with the substantial debt they currently have. OR did you buy up all the equip to start up the new co. and they are out of the pole business all together.

Does this mean that all the poles Essex sold are no longer covered by the implied warrenty?
Can we buy stock in the new company?
Why would you not bring the new improved (better pole) to market under all the good will of the Essx name?

:dazed:

GIANT JR Investments corp. is out of the pole business. But in the investment business!

Yes I did buy all the equipment, rights to the ESSX name, and will add some equipment.

All poles sold without warranty-implied warranties allowed in certain states I guess belong to Essxsport Inc.

Yes the ESSX pole still lives made by the same people in FORT WORTH TX. THANK you for your interests. OUR better pole was kept under wraps due to a wait until the Olympics were over.

The substantial debt they have is a result of investments they have accrued for one the Miss Beverly hills deal. With MBH not being a public company the auditors will not be able to establish a value of the stock acquired so this is not an asset on the books but is an expense of the stock used to purchase on the books.

When MBH becomes public it is my opinion that the stock and the company will have value. I am still a major shareholder in GJRI for very good reasons the stock value has the potential to grow.

So the company that owned Essex (Giant Junior) also owned a beauty pagaent (?), and since the beauty pagent failed- Essex no longer makes poles? There has to be more to the stroy that that!
What is the current price of a share of Giant Junior, is it traded OTC?

Im still confused...............If it is your opinion that GJRI will succeed, why leave? It seems you had the freedom to continue your/their pole line as you saw fit. What neccesitated the seperation.

me too!

The Beauty pagent has not failed it is thriving business! www.missbeverlyhills.com The auditor could not establish a value on the stock until it is public company or is trading on the market with audited accounting!
They are selling stock at $1.25 per share. And are trying to go pubic within the next few months.
As President of GJRI we bought 4,800,000 shares.
All this is in the filings and is public info!
GJRI has moved to be a BDC which is a business development corp that buys portions of businesses and owns stock in them as they help build JR businesses into Giant Businesses.
To originally build a company publically you have to have a running business so I threw in the track company to get to where we are today.
The Pole division was discected as I wanted to take that portion private. Beside it was not a big enough business for them to own completley or the size they will be engaging in in the future.
I am still a major shareholder of GJRI As an investment company will grow! http://www.pinksheets.com/quote/quote.jsp?symbol=gjri

$.12 per share I own 10 million shares

PS ESSX has no SEX in it!!
:D :D :D

Sounds to me like the "holding company" ( money ) pulled the "plug" on the pole making, track equipment business. No money - no business. Normally in the business world the warranty on products are as only as good as the parent company, No company - probably no warranty

Yes I agree
