The Company has filed a request for a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination. Under Nasdaq's rules, a timely hearing request automatically stays the suspension and delisting of the Company's securities pending the Panel's decision. There can be no assurance, however, that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing.
The Company's filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was delayed due to the timing of the Company's completion of a complex and detailed analysis of uncertain tax positions that prevented completion of the report in time. As previously reported the Company said its filing would be delayed about two weeks. The Company expects to make this filing with the SEC shortly.
