Did KEYP only file to go private?
"The Reporting Persons are currently contemplating its position within the Company, including whether to acquire additional, or all of, the shares of Common Stock. In addition, the Reporting Persons are contemplating whether and how the Company can “go dark” and become an issuer that no longer reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission."

I try to buy since 2 months, the trading is fraud(unsolicited quotes).
Even if you are the highest bidder and someone sells into your bid, you don´t get these shares.
They did not even update otcmarkets.com company profile, the website is down, they deregistered and the financial situation cannot be worse.
KEYP their accountant is out:

Big Kardashian bottom.
Termination of BUYBACK, not buyout. If they don't want shares down here, neither do I...will be watching closely for a BUYOUT however as it has been mentioned before in company filings.
KEYP .2 X .35 seems everyone got out after termination of buyout. Maybe load zone?
Re listed maybe. I think there is a greater chance they go private than re-list.
I haven't seen any after hour trading in KEYP.
Nice DD tbird seems you're rather bullish on this stock. Is it because you think it might have a chance to be relisted on the NASDAQ?
Also something I've been meaning to ask: what's the deal with after hours trading on this? Can OTC issuers pay an extra fee to OTCMkts to trade after hours or something or is only because its a former NASDAQ stock? Never seen this before thanks for any info.
Buyback suspended until 10K is filed. I believe they legally have to do this so at least they are doing things by the book.

I'm still acquiring-I feel Dividend could be returning to bring stability and desire back to the stock after what occurred with delisting, their books and CFO being replaced. If not, oh well it's still undervalued regardless.
It appears the company may have begun to resume the share buyback judging by recent bid strength.
Divi, doubt it. I do think there's a pretty good chance of going private however...
I've been in since 2012, it's had it's ups and downs. Be nice if they starts divs again. Has potential, especially with upgrades and new product. I like the sleepers, just keep adding when it hits my target range.
Apparently only 2 market makers for KEYP, and some brokerages restricted. Guess its just you, me and KEYP
Havent been watching this stock to much are they buying back to go private??? Thank you
Buying back up to 1.50. So thAt can be the new bottom. Commencing now.
Stock buyback commencing. 2 million worth. With the low float they may get a good chunk.
Stock buyback commencing. 2 million worth. With the low float they may get a good chunk.
Yes. The share buyback can now resume. KEYP should be back over a dollar in the coming days/weeks.
Very interesting. Also from the press release today:
KEYP hiring http://www.jobui.com/company/721651/jobs/
Use google chrome browser to translate.
*KEYP buying back $2M worth of shares all the way up to $1.50. http://alturl.com/ejfyz
*The buyback has been temporarily suspended since April, and according to the 10K filed, it will be suspended until they catch up on reports (still one quarter behind) http://alturl.com/9nu5c
*They bought back 118k shares at average of $1.14 per share so far, or $134k bought back so far. They WILL buy back more imo.
So here's the quiet period to take advantage of while they can't buy shares. They appear to be serious about it also...or the CEO is getting ready to take the company private if all else fails. Either way its a lucrative opportunity imo. With the CEO's connections and past business sales, this one's far from dead.
*CEO now controls a majority of the company btw (increased from 45.6% to 68.8%), while insider ownership totals around 83%: http://alturl.com/e6yhn
*Float is 9.8M shares
*Q2 filing currently outstanding http://alturl.com/zn8ju
*Settled with the SEC over government bribe slush fund earlier this year: http://alturl.com/taxxm
*Going private isn't just speculation.. http://alturl.com/rbpzj
KEYP good Q report and tier change this weekend.
200 mil revs, .05 net inc. in 1Q and moving up from Pink Limited to QB. Good news all around.
Also, I would say the share buyback has been taking place around this .75-.80, I'm guessing that has been the company's floor price.
Keyuan Petrochemicals' CFO: SEC Admin Proceeding:
http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2013/34-69945.pdf
China-Based Company and Former CFO to Pay Penalties for Disclosure and Accounting Violations
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2013-30
Washington, D.C., Feb. 28, 2013 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged a China-based petrochemical company and its former chief financial officer with accounting and disclosure violations, and they agreed to pay more than $1 million combined to settle the charges.
Additional Materials
SEC Complaint
http://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/2013/comp-pr2013-30.pdf
The SEC alleges that Keyuan Petrochemicals, which was formed through a reverse merger in April 2010, systematically failed to disclose to investors numerous related party transactions involving its CEO, controlling shareholders, and entities controlled by management or their family members. Keyuan also operated a secret off-balance sheet cash account to pay for cash bonuses to senior officers, travel and entertainment expenses and an apartment rental for the CEO, and cash and non-cash gifts to Chinese government officials.
The SEC further alleges that Keyuan’s then-CFO Aichun Li, who lives in North Carolina, played a role in the company’s failure to disclose the related party transactions. Li was hired to ensure the company’s compliance with U.S. accounting and financial reporting regulations, and she received information and encountered red flags that should have indicated that the company was not properly identifying or disclosing related party transactions. Despite such knowledge, Li signed Keyuan’s registration statements and quarterly reports that failed to disclose material related party transactions.
“By omitting related party transactions from its financial statements, Keyuan deprived investors of a true representation of the company’s business dealings,” said Stephen L. Cohen, an Associate Director in the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. “As CFO, Li failed to right these wrongs.”
According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in Washington D.C., the related party transactions that Keyuan failed to disclose between May 2010 and January 2011 in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) included sales of products, purchases of raw materials, loan guarantees, and short-term financing. As a consequence of using an off-balance sheet cash account, the company’s reported balances in its financial statements for cash, receivables, construction-in-progress, interest income, other income, and general and administrative expenses were misstated. In October 2011, Keyuan filed restatements of the financial statements contained in its Form 10-Qs for the second and third quarters of 2010 that disclosed the related party transactions and off-balance sheet accounting for the first time.
The SEC’s complaint charges Keyuan with violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rules 12b-20 and 13a-13 under the Exchange Act. The SEC’s complaint charges Li with violations of Section 13(b)(5) of the Exchange Act and aiding and abetting Keyuan’s violations of Sections 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20 and 13a-13.
Keyuan agreed to pay a $1 million penalty and Li agreed to pay a $25,000 penalty to settle the SEC’s charges. They consented to the entry of a judgment permanently enjoining them from violations of the respective provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act. Li also agreed to be suspended from appearing or practicing as an accountant before the Commission with the right to apply for reinstatement after two years. The proposed settlement, in which Keyuan and Li neither admit nor deny the charges, is subject to court approval.
The SEC’s investigation, which is continuing, has been conducted by Fuad Rana, Avron Elbaum, and Melissa A. Robertson with assistance from the SEC’s Cross Border Working Group, which has representatives from each of the SEC’s major divisions and offices and focuses on U.S. companies with substantial foreign operations. Through the work of the Cross Border Working Group, the SEC has filed fraud cases involving more than 40 foreign issuers and executives, and deregistered the securities of more than 50 companies. The SEC’s Enforcement Division also has taken a series of actions against China-based audit firms that have refused to produce documents for SEC investigations into clients whose securities trade in U.S. markets.

Maybe another month and the halt will be lifted.
No volume and no followers. I think I would stay away from this POS stock like the plague.
NO VOLUME on this POS company. Another effort by you to bring in shareholders for a dump? Your record sucks.
