Item 3.01.   Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

The Company previously reported that it had received a notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Nasdaq Panel”) stating that the Nasdaq Panel had determined to continue the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq National Market, provided that the Company filed its Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2004 on or before February 15, 2005.

 

On February 14, 2005, the Nasdaq Panel notified the Company that the Nasaq Panel had granted the Company’s request to extend the current deadline of February 15, 2005 to March 16, 2005 to file the Company’s Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2004.  The Company sought the extension in order to align the filing of its Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2004 with the filing of its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

 

Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) requires the Company to make on a timely basis all filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The Company has not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2004 that was due on November 9, 2004.  The Nasdaq Panel’s decision provides the Company with an exception to the foregoing requirement with respect to the timely filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2004.

 

The Company issued a press release on February 14, 2005 regarding the Nasdaq Panel’s decision.  The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
