SEC Annual Report Timely Filing Criteria

Added on by C. Maoxian.

From the NYSE Listed Company Manual:

A company that fails to file its annual report (Forms 10-K, 10-KSB, 20-F, 40-F or N-CSR) with the SEC in a timely manner will be subject to the following procedures:
Once the Exchange identifies that a company has failed to file a timely periodic annual report with the SEC by the later of (a) the date that the annual report was required to be filed with the SEC by the applicable form or (b) if a Form 12b-25 was timely filed with the SEC, the extended filing due date for the annual report, the Exchange will notify the company in writing of the procedures set forth below. For purposes of this Section 802.01E, the later of these two dates will be referred to as the "Filing Due Date."
Within five days of receipt of this notification, the company will be required to (a) contact the Exchange to discuss the status of the annual report filing, and (b) issue a press release disclosing the status of the filing, noting the delay, the reason for the delay and the anticipated filing date, if known. If the company has not issued the required press release by the fifth day following receipt of this notification, the Exchange will itself issue a press release stating that the company has failed to timely file its annual report with the SEC.
During the six-month period from the Filing Due Date, the Exchange will monitor the company and the status of the filing, including through contact with the company, until the annual report is filed. If the company fails to file the annual report within six months from the Filing Due Date, the Exchange may, in its sole discretion, allow the company's securities to be traded for up to an additional six-month trading period depending on the company's specific circumstances. If the Exchange determines that an additional trading period of up to six months is not appropriate, suspension and delisting procedures will commence in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 804.00 of the Listed Company Manual. A company is not eligible to follow the procedures outlined in Sections 802.02 and 802.03 with respect to this criteria.
In determining whether an additional up to six-month trading period is appropriate, the Exchange will consider the likelihood that the filing can be made during the additional period, as well as the company's general financial status, based on information provided by a variety of sources, including the company, its audit committee, its outside auditors, the staff of the SEC and any other regulatory body. The Exchange strongly encourages companies to provide ongoing disclosure on the status of the annual report filing to the market through press releases, and will also take the frequency and detail of such information into account in determining whether an additional six-month trading period is appropriate.
If the Exchange determines that an additional up to six-month trading period is appropriate and the company fails to file its periodic annual report by the end of the additional period, suspension and delisting procedures will commence in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 804.00.

Slow Boat Brewery's Bourbon Double Chocolate Porter

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Last of the gimmicky flavors, I think ... more chocolate than bourbon, but again, really good.

From the brewery:

Bourbon Double Chocolate Porter 
(ABV 6.5%, IBU 25, SRM 40)
Hops: Chinnook, Wilamet
Malts: New Zealand, chocolate malt (lightly roasted)
TASTING NOTES:
Specialty roasted chocolate malts and rich dark chocolate nibs give this porter a double hit of cacao goodness. Bourbon flavor add a bit of oaky spice to round out the chocolate bitterness. This is dark and particularly smooth.

Slow Boat Brewery's Back Bacon Buccaneer

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Yes, yes, another gimmicky flavor, but who can say no to bacon? This was really interesting, they used maple bacon so you get the full hearty breakfast thing going on, thick pancakes grilled in bacon grease, slathered in butter, and drowned in maple syrup.  This is a beer I could have for breakfast.  Yum!

From the brewery:

Back Bacon Buccaneer
(ABV 7.7%, IBU 20, SRM 8)
Hops: Chinook and Mount Hood and Wilamet
Malts: New Zealand base malt, German Crystal malt
TASTING NOTES:
A medium bodied, full flavored ale that tastes like summer BBQs and grandma’s pancake breakfast all in one. This beer is a refreshing, total-package sensory experience that manages to balance warm smoky bacon notes with a perfectly delicate maple finish. Ideal for the beer lover looking for a taste of home.

Weekly Average Sales Price in Beijing

A chart from Deutsche Bank:

Starting on February 16, 2011 anyone wanting to purchase a first home in Beijing had to produce proof of five consecutive years of local tax/social security payments. That explains the big spike down on the chart.  There were also bans imposed on Beijingers for purchases of third or more homes, and on outsiders for purchases of a second home.
