As previously disclosed, the Company submitted a plan, which was accepted by the Amex on August 31, 2006, to achieve compliance with the continued listing standards of the AMEX by December 14, 2007. The Company met the continued listing standards in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. However, according to AMEX rules, the Company must demonstrate continued compliance for two consecutive quarters.
