Oceanic Research and Recovery Posts First Quarter Financial Statement for 2011

PEORIA, Ill., April 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Oceanic Research and Recovery Inc. (OTC: ORRV), a marine salvage and exploration company, today announced that it filed the 2011 1st quarter financial statement with OTC Markets.

The company is currently finalizing additional financial statements and related filings that, upon submission and approval, will result in ORRV's status on OTC Markets being upgraded from "Limited Information" to the "Current Information" designation and symbol.

One indication of the trading benefits and market value typically associated with such an upgrade is documented in a comparison of "Current Information" companies with "No Information" companies, in terms of annual trading volume. Last year, the average trading volume for a "Current Information" security was 73 times greater than the average volume for a "No Information" security ($45,000,000 as compared with $617,000).

In making this announcement, Scott Heimdal, CEO of ORRV, stated: "We're very pleased with our recent upgraded reporting status to "Limited Information" and the greater transparency which results from this achievement.  We look forward to achieving the "Current Information" designation which will further enhance investor confidence in ORRV and enable us to more readily access institutional and individual sources of capital and expand our shareholder base."
