Quite a different tune you're singing now that they've stiffed you on them. Wasn't it the AFs that were going to prove that they were on the up and up, and trying to get to a higher exchange, thus worthy of investment?

Someone on IHUB posted these. Nice little consolidation of PR (up to this point)...Now, after anyone new to ETIM (or non-believers) take their time to verify these are actual, do you really think the PPS will stay around .005? I for one DO NOT!

NEWS...Here's an update from the Eternal Image Investor Relations page:
Eternal Image Partner Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 7th, 2007
Update: Audited Financials Progress
Eternal Image is still actively engaged in the completion of the audit.
The current delay in delivering the audited financial statements is due to the fact that Eternal Image and the CPA firm are reconciling all stock transactions to date - per audit requirements. The numbers have to align between what the Stock Transfer Agent shows as 'booked' shares to what Eternal Image has in their financial statements. Research and reconciliation is in progress due to some older transactions needing some additional research. Eternal Image does not anticipate that this process will take long, and wants to be thorough in its research and reporting. Eternal Image management will keep the investor community updated as details develop.

Eternal Image Completes Audit and Plans ''Up-Listing'' to OTC BB Wednesday August 15, 9:25 am ET
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Eternal Image, Inc. (OTC:ETIM.PK - News), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of licensed image brand name caskets and urns, today announced that it has completed the GAAP Audit of its financial statements for its fiscal years 2004 - 2006. The company also revealed that it will soon commence the process of filing a registration statement on Form 10SB with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This will cause it to become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and therefore become a "fully reporting company." Eternal Image has released the Audited Financials along with the auditors' report and a management discussion of those results on its website (www.eternalimage.net).
The formal audit establishes a benchmark for Eternal Image's reporting and sales, taking into consideration finances for the last three years of operations.
"The completion of the audit is the most important step to date in our path to moving up to the OTC Bulletin Board," said Jim Parliament, CFO, Eternal Image. "It is a very exciting time for us. The audit process was long - probably longer than anyone thought it might be - but that is what sometimes happens to young companies on their first audits. With the audit behind us, we are ready to take our next steps."
Parliament added that Eternal Image expects to file the Form 10SB soon. Sometime thereafter, once it has been reviewed and has cleared comments by the SEC, the company expects to be approved for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.

Ok, I admit I was underwhelmed with the result. We bash the bashers who bring up the dirty little O/S, A/S problem, however something sure burst the much anticipated run-up from AF.

Eternal Image Receives Approval from Major League Baseball Properties(TM) for San Francisco Giants Urn Design BusinessWire - August 16, 2007 10:00 AM ET
Related Quotes Symbol Last Chg ETIM Trade 0.0055 +0.0005 Quotes delayed at least 15 minutes
Eternal Image, Inc. (OTC:ETIM.PK), a public company engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of brand image caskets and urns, today announced that Major League Baseball Properties(TM) has approved the design of the San Francisco Giants licensed urn. The Giants urn will follow the recently approved designs of the Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox and New York Mets on the production line.
"The demand for our products has pushed production ahead of schedule. With the approval of the Giants design, the new urn will provide San Francisco fans with a quality product of memorabilia that will last a lifetime," said Clint Mytych, CEO of Eternal Image. "Baseball fans have been calling and sending email expressing their hopes that their specific team's urn will be next into production."
The initial urn line includes eight MLB(TM) teams (Yankees, Red Sox, Cardinals, Braves, Cubs, Tigers, Phillies and Dodgers). Corresponding caskets are in production for those eight teams and will be available late this year. Caskets featuring the four newest clubs will join the line late in 2007 as well. Urns and caskets featuring the balance of 18 teams will launch in late 2007 and through 2008.
Each Major League Baseball(TM) urn is hand-designed using die-cast aluminum with proprietary clear coat finish and sits atop a Home Plate-shaped base outlined in black. Each also features a baseball display dome at the top in which a favorite collectible baseball can be presented. MLB(TM) caskets are crafted from Eternal Image's proprietary composite and decorated with various woods and metals. Like the urns, each casket is instantly recognizable for the team after which it is designed. The supple interior fabric features the team logo and colors for the pillow and fabric trim.

Too many variable now. Good news from ETIM on the A/F's and Uplist but mixed with market uncertainty, until Friday when it went crazy. Looks like I'm back to partial flips between 5-10% per week (enough for lunch money).
Still holding 1-million shares long term though.

Eternal Image's "The Last Word Vol 1. Issue II - Summer, 2007
A message from Clint Mytych, CEO
As you read this we are completing plans for our new trade show exhibit, which will be unlike any exhibit ever built for a funeral industry trade show. Let’s just say it is in keeping with our progressive and industry leading reputation. We will debut the exhibit at the National Funeral Directors Expo (October 7-10) in Las Vegas. Word has it that the funeral home distributors that have displayed our products at regional shows this summer have been flooded with interest; we expect our new 20’x30’ booth to attract quite a bit of attention as well.
In the meantime, a great deal has been happening here, from the completion of our audit (see our web site for details: www.eternalimage.net) to the recent announcement concerning the formation of Eternal Image Europe, plus our newest product line extensions. We continue to seek new licenses and hope to have one or more special announcements in the coming months.
Read below for more news and check the website for continuous updates (and news release archives.) Thanks to all of you who believe in our mission! - Clint
A Lesson in Timing: Jim Parliament talks about the audit process
This week we reached a major milestone; the completion of our audit which is a prerequisite to file the 10SB. The audit was a very involved process. The most frequent question we received from shareholders was, “Why did it take so long?” The short answer is that an audit takes as long as it takes. The auditors have prescribed steps that the company being audited does not control.
Here’s the long answer: more than 2000 people hours were logged on the audit by Eternal Image, our supporting CPA firm and our auditing firm. During the course of the audit, EI responded to hundreds of questions regarding our company and our financial statements. This included responding to emails and phone calls while providing source documentation (some more than two years old) for a great many transactions. This kind of examination is a very time-consuming process - one that quite frankly took us by surprise. But as we studied more about what other companies have gone through, we learned this is not uncommon.
Auditing has changed tremendously over the past decade. With the high profile collapse of a litany of corporate giants, Congress and the SEC have raised the "audit bar" significantly. The independent audit process is very involved and is governed by the PCAOB - Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The audit examines in detail the financial statements to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement (whether from errors, fraudulent financial reporting, misappropriation of assets or violation of laws or regulations that are attributable to the entity or to acts by management or employees.) The audit also examines and tests evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, as well as internal company controls.
Why all of the rigor? To protect the shareholders. The completion of an audit signals whether shareholders can have reasonable assurances that there are no material misrepresentation in a company's financial statements, and confirms that there are no material weaknesses in internal controls. We appreciate our shareholders’ patience during this project. We believe with the successful conclusion of this audit project, our shareholders can have reasonable assurances that Eternal Image is reporting its finances correctly, has proper internal controls in place to protect the shareholders, and is a company that has tremendous growth potential. - Jim
Baseball without Borders
Major League Baseball™ urns continue to sell just about as fast as we can make them! Investors often ask us if urn sales are region-specific and we are pleased to report they are not. Team urns sell without geographic boundaries. A funeral home in Atlanta might purchase a Yankees urn while a one in Kansas City might order a Tigers urn. By opening day 2008 we anticipate that 20 or more team urns will be available; maybe more. (All will be available by the close of 2008.) Our newest design, for the San Francisco Giants, was just approved by MLB™ and has been rushed into production.
We’re often asked “which urns sell best?” so here are the standings going into playoff season:
1. Yankees
2. Red Sox
3. Cubbies.
Stay tuned to this race!
Have you heard? Before he passed away earlier this summer, Clete Boyer, former third baseman for the Yankees (1959-66; major leaguer from 1955-1971), asked his friend to make sure he obtained an official Yankees urn for his remains. This request (which we helped fill through a distributor) sparked a creative idea: special engraving plates for MLB players, coaches and officials. The plates are black and etch out gold – and are available from our office.
Product News: Caskets are Coming!
It’s true: look for the Vatican Library Collection™ and Major League Baseball™ caskets to debut at the NFDA Expo in October. Our first Precious Moments® urn – a proprietary figurine design available nowhere else – will also debut. We will also anticipate to preview the new AKC™ and CFA™ Garden Stone products at the show as well.

5+ Million shares of ETIM and after todays showing should I be worried?
It doesn't seem to make sense, they just finally released some new announcements (all good news), and appear to be closer to wrapping up their newest licensing deals but still the stock sinks.
Is there something we should know?
