NASDAQ Uplisting. The Story:

Longhai's goal is to expand their already profitable business by 67%. They want to build a new state of the art facility next to their current one. To gain access to capital to accomplish this goal, they went public in 2010. Their immediate aim was to uplist to NASDAQ and have a public offering of stock.

They met the all of the requirements, and their application was approved by NASDAQ.



In Feb 2011, for some reason, they decided not to proceed 'at this time'.

A month and a half later, they hired a new director (Joel D. Mayersohn) to facilitate NASDAQ uplisting

In July 2011 they dismissed their CFO/Director and hired a new one. Their new one has very impressive creds.

In August 2011, they also fired 2 directors

Reading between the lines

We believe the NASDAQ uplisting is currently still in process. They've hired someone whose pay is dependent upon the uplisting. The date of their shareholder's info package is in April...2 months after their decision to delay uplisting.

The new CFO and the change in directors are assumed to have happened to satisfy NASDAQ requirements.

When the new directors are hired, they can file their annual list at NV SOS. (Currently past due).

The speculation on the unjustified decline in share price is that nobody was paying attention or knew about the company. The fired directors could also have dumped shares, and without much awareness and bid support, the price dropped on miniscule volume.
