From 2012 10K; 'Our common stock trades in the Ove
Post# of 22454
Our common stock trades in the pink sheets and has in the past traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board until our common stock was deleted due to failure to meet the broker-dealer requirements of Rule 15c2-11 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such Rule includes a requirement that at least one broker-dealer quotes our common stock each trading day and the removal from the system if this requirement is failed for a specific number of consecutive trading days. Our common stock does not have an established trading market.

In order to be listed on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, at least one broker-dealer member of FINRA must file a Form 15c2-11 application and become a market maker on the system and remain on the system quoting a market for our common stock. Also, in order to maintain the quotation of our shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, we must remain a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). This requires us to comply with the periodic reporting and proxy statement requirements of the Exchange Act. It is possible that our common stock could be listed on the OTC Bulletin Board and again removed from the Bulletin Board and then be traded on the potentially less desirous Pink Sheets. In either venue, an investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the common stock. In addition, if we failed to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling the common stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.'

*Not positive on how (or if) any of this legalese applies to our current situation...just throwing it out there for consideration. But I do know that being underwritten by a MM of-record was a factor the last time around.
