On January 19, 2011 and on January 20, 2011 the Company received letters from NASDAQ indicating that the Company’s continued failure to comply with the Market Value Rule and the Minimum Bid Price Rule would result in the Company’s securities being delisted from NASDAQ unless the Company requested a hearing to appeal this determination.
