A reverse split is like you have 10 $10 bills and you trade them in for 1 $100 bill. Same amount, instead of dollars its shares.

Companies sometimes do this because they think it will improve the perception of their stock if it is at a higher value. Investors usually don't like them especially if they hold a lot of shares at an unrealized loss, which I'm guessing is most of us on this message board.
