Item 8.01 Other Events.

We previously announced that the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) notified us that we were considered “below criteria” because our total average market capitalization over a consecutive 30-day trading period and our shareholders’ equity were each less than $50 million, and our average closing price over thirty consecutive trading days was less than $1.00 per common share.

On June 11, 2010, we provided, on a confidential basis, the NYSE with a business plan (the “Plan”) demonstrating our ability to comply with the NYSE’s continued listing standards requiring that either our total stockholders equity average be not less than $50 million or our global market capitalization be not less than $50 million over a consecutive 30 trading day period. On July 23, 2010, the NYSE notified us that it has accepted the Plan. As a result of the acceptance, our common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE pending quarterly reviews by the NYSE’s Listing and Compliance Committee to ensure progress against the Plan, and subject to compliance with other NYSE continued listing requirements and the NYSE’s right to reevaluate continued listing determinations.

A copy of our press release related to this matter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

This press release may contain forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), which are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances. Words and expressions reflecting something other than historical fact are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Factors that appear with the forward- looking statements, or in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings (including without limitation the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2010, or the quarterly and current reports filed on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K thereafter), could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made herein, including but not limited to the Company’s ability to satisfy the NYSE’s continued listing standards, commencement by the NYSE of suspension and delisting procedures for failure to implement successfully a plan to correct non-compliance with NYSE continued listing standards, the Company’s ability to achieve and maintain a total average market capitalization over a consecutive 30-day trading period and shareholders’ equity of more than $50 million, the Company’s ability to achieve and maintain an average share price above $1.00 per share of its common stock over thirty consecutive trading days, and the NYSE’s right to take more immediate listing action in the event that the Company’s stock trades at levels that are viewed as abnormally low on a sustained basis or based on other factors.
