I cannot advise you....OTC is different animal.

If this goes to pinksheets you are really screwed.

As previously announced in January, the Company received a delisting notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") due to the Company's non-compliance with NASDAQ's $1.00 per share bid price requirement. In response, the Company requested a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel to appeal the Staff's delisting determination. On March 4, 2010, the Company advised NASDAQ that it is withdrawing its appeal and request for continued listing. Accordingly, NASDAQ will suspend trading of the Company's securities effective with the open of business on Monday, March 8, 2010.



Following the suspension of trading on NASDAQ, the Company expects that its common stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB"), which is operated by FINRA. In that regard, the Company has been advised by a market maker that it has filed the necessary application with FINRA to quote the Company's securities on the OTCBB. It is expected that the application will be cleared by FINRA so as to facilitate trading on the OTCBB beginning on Monday, March 8, 2010. In the event, the application is not cleared by FINRA in time for trading on Monday, the Company's securities will be eligible for quotation and trading on The Pink Sheets.




Andrew Taylor-Kimmins said, "while we are excited about the prospects for the business going forward, particularly now that we have completed our financing, our decision to leave NASDAQ is based on our view that, at this stage, the effort to maintain compliance with the NASDAQ listing standards would be an unnecessary distraction for management. We intend to continue to publicly file our periodic reports with the SEC and we will re-evaluate the need for a stock exchange listing as our business develops."



In the U.S., over-the-counter trading in stock is carried out by market makers that make markets in OTCBB and Pink Sheets securities using inter-dealer quotation services such as Pink Quote (operated by Pink OTC Markets) and the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). OTC stocks are not usually listed nor traded on any stock exchanges, though exchange listed stocks can be traded OTC on the third market. Although stocks quoted on the OTCBB must comply with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reporting requirements, other OTC stocks, such as those stocks categorized as Pink Sheets securities, have no reporting requirements, while those stocks categorized as OTCQX have met alternative disclosure guidelines through Pink OTC Markets.
