As previously disclosed on September 16, 2010, the Company received a determination letter stating that NASDAQ had denied the Company’s request for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market.  The determination letter stated that the Company could appeal the delisting determination by requesting a hearing and presenting its plan of compliance at such hearing.

The Company appealed the delisting determination and subsequently presented its plan of compliance at a hearing with NASDAQ.  Following the hearing, the Company provided additional information at the request of NASDAQ in support of its plan of compliance.

On December 14, 2010, the Company received a determination letter stating that NASDAQ has granted the Company’s request to remain listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market.  NASDAQ also invoked its authority under Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A) to impose a Hearings Panel Monitor to monitor the Company’s continued compliance with the stockholders’ equity rule through December 15, 2011.

On December 16, 2010, the Company issued a press release regarding the determination letter from NASDAQ described above.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
