On February 8, 2011, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market informing the Company that the notice previously issued by the Nasdaq Stock Market issued on December 8, 2010 that the company had violated Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 was resolved on February 8, 2011, by issuance of a Letter of Reprimand in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(4) and the matter is now closed.
 
Also on February 8, 2011, the Company received a separate letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market informing us that Mr. Chez, who served on our audit committee from August 10, 2010 until December 21, 2010, was ineligible to do so under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(A)(ii).  Upon Chez’ resignation from the Audit Committee and replacement by an independent director, the Company regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules and the matter is now closed.
