Here's something to check out never saw this before. FINRA has a website you can check for cusip numbers on public companies. When I put in Catalina Lighting I get access denied. Never got this on any stock I checked with FINRA site before. It gets really weird because the only other name I can type into the search box which gives me this same access denied message is Evolution Lighting.
Somebody doesn't want us to see what is going on with CALAQ and Evolution Lighting on FINRA site. Seems these two companies are tied together with FINRA somehow. Reverse merger of Evolution into CALAQ seems one likely reason.
Here's link to FINRA
