On October 9, 2008, the Company received an additional notice of non- compliance from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC based upon the Company's non- compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement of $2.5 million for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market, as set forth in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3) (the "Stockholders' Equity Requirement"), as of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, which could serve as an additional basis for delisting of the Company's securities from The NASDAQ Capital Market. As previously announced, on July 8, 2008, the Company received a notice of non-compliance from NASDAQ due to the Company's failure to satisfy the proxy solicitation and annual meeting requirements set forth in Marketplace Rules 4350(g) and 4350(e), respectively. In response to the first notice of non- compliance, the Company requested and attended a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") at which the Company presented its plan to regain compliance with those requirements. Pursuant to the plan presented to the Panel, on October 8, 2008, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement for the annual shareholders meeting to be held on November 17, 2008. The Panel has not yet rendered a determination as a result of the hearing. As provided by NASDAQ's most recent notice, the Company plans to make a written submission to the Panel presenting its plan to regain compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement. While the Company is hopeful that the Panel will grant its request for continued listing on NASDAQ, there can be no assurance that the Panel will do so. On October 15, 2008, the Company issued a press release, attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1, announcing the matters described above. ITEM 9.01 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
