BEIJING, May 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- China Fruits Corporation (OTC: CHFR) ("China Fruits" or "the Company"), a producer and distributor of fresh tangerines and other fresh fruits in the People's Republic of China, announced that a 1-for-25 reverse split of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock took effect at the market opening on Thursday, April 30, 2015. As a result, the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock is reduced from 53,493,175 shares to approximately 2,139,727 shares. The Company believes that the Reverse Stock Split can add shareholder value by better positioning the Company to meet the minimum initial listing requirements of a senior exchange. The Company believes that an uplisting could increase the marketability and liquidity of the Company's Common Stock, as well as increases the profile of the Company for private investments, acquisitions and other future opportunities that become available to the Company. China Fruits has planned for an uplisting upon the approval of the majority shareholders and expects to reach this goal during 2015.
"If we are successful in an uplisting, we believe China Fruits would be able to standardize its business model and access the capital market at trillion-dollar level. This corporate action could expand financing channels and enhance brand influence. More importantly, the Company's equity liquidity should improve and a more effective equity exit mechanism can be formed, both of which are going to help China Fruits attract more strategic investors with the Company's increasing asset liquidity," said Mr. Quanlong Chen, Chairman and CEO of China Fruits Corporation.
The Company's current actions for uplisting include, but are not limited to:
According to China Fruits FY 2014 financial statements, the total revenues were $32,635,446, a 248% increase from the corresponding period in 2013; operating income was $1,914,657, compared to operating loss of $30,708 from the corresponding period in 2013; stockholders' equity was $4,030,910, a 61.61% increase from the corresponding period in 2013.
