Nasdaq rules permit the Company 60 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. Following a review of this plan, Nasdaq Staff can grant the Company an exception, up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Periodic Report, or until May 11, 2009, to regain compliance. The Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance in a timely fashion.
