It isn't that they need to find a reason to become fully reporting again - it is clear that management DOESN'T want to be fully reporting. They chose to stop filing - it was an option available to them, not a requirement. There are 300+ shareholders of Santeon, it's just that most little guys' shares are held in brokerage name, thus there aren't 300 shareholders of record.

If I were a potential client of Santeon, I would probably look at the stock price and market cap and give serious pause before I did business with them and hopefully management is well aware of this. How many clients want to do business with a $.50/share stock with a $600K market cap?

I don't think Santeon is going to be a publicly traded company at $.50 in a year. I think it either goes to zero (which I don't think really will happen),it gets bought out, or they take it private. However, they need to fairly compensate us shareholders if they do decide to take it private. As they stated on 02/04/2013, the CEO said the stock price was undervalued then. On 2/1/2013, the stock closed at $1.25 and on 2/4/2013, the stock closed at $1.50. So any price level the stock gets taken private at must be at a premium to that given that Santeon has claimed in earnings releases since then that the company is more financially sound, growing, etc. etc.
