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

On July 2, 2012, China Yida Holding Co. (the “Company”) received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that, based on the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company does not meet the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).  The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a grace period of 180 calendar days, or until December 31, 2012, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.  To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during this 180-day grace period. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to the expiration date of the grace period in order to regain compliance.

If the Company does not regain compliance by December 31, 2012, the Company may be eligible for additional time.  To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If the Company fails to regain compliance within the grace period permitted by Nasdaq, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting by Nasdaq.  The Company will consider available options to resolve the noncompliance with the minimum bid price requirement.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or other Nasdaq listing criteria.
 
On July 6, 2012, the Company issued a press release announcing the Company's receipt of the deficiency letter from Nasdaq described above. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
