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

On June 21, 2007, the Company received a written notice (the "Notice") from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") stating, among other things, that the Company is not in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4350 Rule 4350(c)(1), because the Board of Directors no longer consists of a majority of "independent directors" as that term is defined in Rule 4350(c)(1). The Company's non-compliance with the rule resulted when one incumbent director, who was an "independent director" under the rule, did not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held June 20, 2007, so that the number of "independent directors" re-elected to the Board at is only 3, out of a total of 6 directors currently on the Board. The Company expects to add one "independent director" to the Board of Directors within the cure period under the rule, which ends on the earlier of (i) June 20, 2008, or (ii) the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders, and thereby come into compliance with the rule.
