Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure On June 15, 2006 the Company received a Staff Determination letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that the Company's securities are subject to delisting from The Nasdaq National Market because the Company has not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2006 ("First Quarter Form 10-Q") and is therefore not in compliance with the continued listing standard in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). The Company requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel ("Panel") to review the Staff Determination and presented its case to the Panel on August 3, 2006. On July 20, 2006, the Company announced that it expects to restate its financial statements for fiscal years 2002 through 2006. The restatement will also affect financial statements for earlier fiscal years and adjustments for those earlier years will be reflected as part of the opening balances in the financial statements for the restatement period. On August 29, 2006 the Panel granted the Company's request for additional time to regain compliance and set November 10, 2006 as the date by which the Company must file all required restatements and the First Quarter Form 10-Q. Also on August 29, 2006 the Company announced that it would be unable to timely file its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 30, 2006 ("Second Quarter Form 10-Q"). This will cause another instance of noncompliance with the continued listing standard in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). The Company expects to file the Second Quarter Form 10-Q by the November 10, 2006 deadline established by Nasdaq with respect to the First Quarter Form 10-Q. The press release issued by the Company on August 29, 2006 in connection with this matter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and contains forward looking statements, including with respect to its future performance, plans, and financial results.
