BEIJING, Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Recon Technology, Ltd (Nasdaq: RCON), a Chinese non-state-owned oil and gas automation services provider (the "Company"), announced today that it received a letter from Nasdaq OMX Group ("Nasdaq") on February 24, 2012 regarding its return to compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(5) ("Rule 5550(a)(5)"). The letter notified the Company that, based on the Company's market value of publicly held shares being above $1,000,000 (determined by closing bid price multiplied by number of publicly held shares) for at least ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq determined that the Company regained compliance with Rule 5550(a)(5).

Mr. Shenping Yin, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said: "We are pleased to return to compliance with Rule 5550(a)(5). In the meantime, we will be actively monitoring the progress of our compliance plan regarding Rule 5450(a)(1). Because compliance with Rule 5450(a)(1) depends on our stock price, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to return to compliance with the rule. We will, however, maintain effective communication with our investors at all times."
