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

 

(a)    On November 17, 2005, Excelligence Learning Corporation (the “Company”) received a Staff Determination Letter from The NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) that the Company’s failure to timely file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 represents a second violation of Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), and therefore serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from The NASDAQ Capital Market.

 

As previously announced, the Company received an extension from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2005 on or before November 14, 2005, with the listing of the Company’s securities on The NASDAQ Capital Market continued pending such filing. However, the Company subsequently notified the Panel that it would be unable to meet that deadline and requested a further extension of time, to December 30, 2005, to file its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005.

 

The Panel has agreed to continue the listing of the Company’s securities on The NASDAQ Capital Market, provided that the Company files its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005, and all restated financial statements for prior periods, on or before December 30, 2005. Because the Panel has already approved the Company’s plan to bring all of its filings current by December 30, 2005, the Company will not have to enter a second appeal in response to the November 17 Staff Determination Letter. Until the Company is current with its periodic reporting requirements, the Company’s stock will remain listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the trading symbol “LRNSE.”

 

The Company has issued a press release regarding these matters, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

EXCELLIGENCE LEARNING CORPORATION ANNOUNCES

RECEIPT OF ADDITIONAL FILING EXTENSION FROM NASDAQ

 

MONTEREY, Calif., November 21, 2005 - Excelligence Learning Corporation (NasdaqCM: LRNSE) announced today that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel has agreed to continue the listing of the Company’s securities on The NASDAQ Capital Market, provided that the Company files its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005, and all restated financial statements for prior periods, on or before December 30, 2005. As previously announced, the completion and review of the Company’s quarterly reports have been delayed pending finalization of the Company’s restatement of its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the quarter ended March 31, 2005.

 

The Panel had previously agreed to continue the listing of the Company’s securities on The NASDAQ Capital Market provided that the Company filed its delinquent quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2005, and all restated financial statements for prior periods, on or before November 14, 2005. The Company subsequently notified the Panel that it would be unable to meet that deadline, and requested a further extension of time, to December 30, 2005. In its November 16, 2005 decision granting the Company’s request, the Panel has indicated that it may not consider further extensions to the December 30, 2005 date.

 

As expected, the Company has received a NASDAQ Staff Determination Letter, dated November 17, 2005, noting that the Company’s failure to timely file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, represents a second violation of Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), and therefore serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from The NASDAQ Capital Market. Because the Listing Qualifications Panel has already approved the Company’s plan to bring all of its filings current by December 30, 2005, the Company will not have to enter a second appeal in response to the November 17 Staff Determination Letter.

 

In connection with its decision to grant the Company’s request for a filing extension, the Panel has requested prompt notification of any significant events that occur during the extension period. To maintain its listing, the Company must also demonstrate compliance with all other continued listing requirements of The NASDAQ Capital Market.


Although the Company currently believes that it will be able to meet the Panel’s requirement that it regain compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) by December 30, 2005, there can be no guarantee that it will be able to file its outstanding quarterly reports and all restatements by that date. If the Company is unable to meet the Panel’s terms, the Company’s securities could be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: This press release contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 about matters such as the completion, audit and review of the Company’s restated financial statements, the filing of the Company’s quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005, compliance with NASDAQ listing requirements and the potential delisting of the Company’s securities. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and actual results may differ materially as a result of various risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in the Company’s prior press releases and periodic public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available via Excelligence’s website at www.excelligencelearning.com. There can be no assurance that the Company’s subsequent processes, such as the filing of its quarterly reports for the periods ended June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005, or compliance with additional NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel requirements, will be timely completed by the Panel’s deadlines or that the Company will avoid delisting by The NASDAQ Capital Market. In addition, the Company’s financial results and stock price may suffer as a result of the previously announced accounting review and any subsequent determination from this review, including any action by NASDAQ. The forward-looking statements in this release are made as of November 21, 2005, and Excelligence Learning Corporation does not undertake to revise or update these forward-looking statements, except to the extent that it is required to do so under applicable law.
