CinemaStar Luxury Theaters to Remain Listed on Nasdaq SmallCap Market System OCEANSIDE, CALIF. (Jan. 14) BUSINESS WIRE -Jan. 14, 1998--CinemaStar Luxury Theaters Inc. (Nasdaq:LUXY) Wednesday announced that it has been informed by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system (Nasdaq) that the company has met the requirements for remaining listed on the Nasdaq's SmallCap Market. The Nasdaq previously informed CinemaStar of its intention to delist the company's Common Stock, Redeemable Warrants (Nasdaq:LUXYW), and Class B Redeemable Warrants (Nasdaq:LUXYZ) because the company had fallen out of compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. In a letter sent to company officials on Jan. 13, 1998, The Nasdaq noted that, following the recent completion of a $15 million equity financing by CinemaStar Acquisition Partners, a private investment group, the company had demonstrated compliance with The Nasdaq SmallCap Market's continued listing criteria. With the equity infusion, The Nasdaq also noted that a pro forma balance sheet at Nov. 30, 1997, shows that the company's total assets have risen to nearly $19.9 million with a capital surplus of more than $13 million. The Nasdaq said that because of the company's turnaround efforts it anticipated that CinemaStar will be able to maintain compliance with its listing standards over the long term.
