(NYSE Amex: CDM) (the "Company") today announced that on May 23, 2011, the Company received an additional notice of non-compliance from the NYSE Amex LLC (the "Exchange") due to the Company's failure to maintain a board of directors consisting of a majority of independent directors and an audit committee consisting of at least three independent directors in accordance with Sections 802(a) and 803B(2) of the Exchange's Company Guide.  The Company plans to address its plan for adding an additional independent director to its board of directors and audit committee at its scheduled hearing before a Listing Qualifications Panel of the Exchange's Committee on Securities (the "Panel"). The Company also received notifications on April 5, 2011 and May 17, 2011 from the Exchange of the Company's failure to satisfy one or more of the Exchange's continued listing standards related to the Company's failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2011 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As previously reported, on March 23, 2011, the Company received a delisting notification from the Exchange due to the Company's noncompliance with Sections 1003(f)(iii), 132(e), 1003(d), 1002(e) and 127 of the Company Guide.  The Company has appealed the Staff's delisting determination, which was based on the Exchange's review of the resignation letter from the Company's former auditor, MaloneBailey LLP, and the delay in the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel. The Company also received notifications from the Exchange. The most recent notice of non-compliance has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on the Exchange.
