China-Biotics Provides Update on NASDAQ Trading Halt

China-Biotics, Inc. CHBT today affirmed that NASDAQ halted trading in the Company's common stock at approximately 3:35 PM EDT on Wednesday, July 15, 2011, shortly after the Company filed for an extension of time to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. NASDAQ has requested that the Company provide certain information and explanations relating to the Company's delay in filing the Form 10-K. The Company is working to provide the information and explanations that have been requested by NASDAQ as promptly as practicable in an effort to satisfy NASDAQ's concerns so that it may permit the resumption of trading of the Company's common stock. Once such information and explanations are provided to NASDAQ, NASDAQ may request further information. The Company cannot predict when or if NASDAQ will be satisfied with the Company's responses to this inquiry, or when or if NASDAQ will permit resumption of trading of the Company's common stock.
