Item 3.01
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On August 25, 2008, the Company received written notification from NASDAQ that based on the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2008, Staff determined that the Company’s stockholders’ equity was a deficit of ($7,302,327). In addition, as of August 22, 2008, Staff determined that the market value of listed securities was $17,979,472. Finally, Staff determined that the Company reported net losses from operations in its annual filings for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Accordingly, the Company does not comply with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3), which requires the Company to have a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity or $35,000,000 market value of listed securities or $500,000 of net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years.
 
Under these circumstances, Staff is reviewing the Company’s eligibility for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company may submit on or before September 16, 2008, a specific plan on achieving and sustaining compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirements, including the time frame for completion of the plan. If, after the conclusion of Staff’s review of the plan, Staff determines that the Company’s plan does not adequately address the issues noted, Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal NASDAQ’s determination to delist its securities to a Listing Qualifications Panel. The Company is currently evaluating all options available with respect to these issues.

In order to comply with Marketplace Rule 4803(a), the Company will also issue a press release disclosing receipt of the NASDAQ letter and the NASDAQ rules upon which it was based.
