Tony,

Got this out of the Los Angeles times this morning. I also talked to David Collins today and he said they are just waiting for the share price to be over the $4-$5 range to get relisted.

Times article:

NASDAQ listing

"Although the Bulletin Board is an electronic marketplace, it is essentially unregulated. Most companies that trade there have little analyst coverage".

"The NASD adopted the minimum-share-price rule because "penny stocks," or those under $5, can be particularly vulnerable to manipulation by
unscrupulous traders and stock promoters".

Requirement for National Market:
Net tangible assets of at least $4 million and market value of at least $5 million or, for companies with fewer tangible assets, $50 million market capitalization and a $5 minimum bid price. The later are subject to delisting if they fall under $5 for more than 30 days.

Requirement for Nasdaq Small-Cap Market:
Net assets of at least $2 million and market value of $1 million. If a company does not have tangible assets, it can have a $35-million market cap and $500,000 net income in the latest fiscal year. The small-cap doesn't say anything about a bid price.

Until we get re-listed we are subject to manipulation by unscrupulous traders and stock promoters.
