Nasdaq
As previously disclosed, the company has received notices from The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that its securities were subject to delisting due to the delayed filing of its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005. As a result of an appeal hearing, the Nasdaq Listings Qualifications Panel determined to continue the listing of the company's securities so long as the company filed all four required reports with the SEC by December 28, 2005. The company recently requested an extension of that deadline but has not received a response from the Panel as of the issuance of this release and is awaiting a determination as to its potential delisting.
