Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

Effective March 26, 2010, HIGHLAND BUSINESS SERVCIES, INC. (the "Company") had its stock quotation under the symbol "HGLB" deleted from the OTC Bulletin Board.  The symbol was deleted for factors beyond the Company’s control, due to various market makers electing to shift their orders from the OTCBB to the Pink OTC Markets Inc.  As a result of these market makers not providing a quote on the OTCBB for four consecutive days the Company was deemed to be deficient in maintaining a listing standard at the OTCBB pursuant to Rule 15c2-11.  That determination was made entirely without the Company’s knowledge.  The Company’s shares remain tradable under the symbol "HGLB" on the Pink OTC Markets Inc. system.
 
On March 29, 2010, Murphy & Durieu filed a new Form 211 application with FINRA, in order to have the Company’s stock reinstated on OTCBB.
 
The Company remains current in all its required filings with regulators in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
