Item 3.01.    Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
 
As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 15, 2006, the Company announced on March 15, 2006, that Charles A. Sanders had resigned from the Company's Board of Directors. Dr. Sanders was a member of the Company's Audit Committee, and, as a result of his resignation, the composition of the Company's Audit Committee was reduced from three members to two members. On March 20, 2006, E. Gary Cook was appointed to the Company's Audit Committee, and the Company notified Nasdaq of the appointment promptly thereafter.

Nasdaq's Marketplace Rules require, among other things, that the Company's Audit Committee have at least three members. On March 23, 2006, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rules with respect to audit committee composition requirements as a result of Dr. Sanders' resignation on March 15, 2006. As a result of the appointment of E. Gary Cook to the Audit Committee on March 20, 2006, however, Nasdaq indicated in the letter that the Company has remedied its noncompliance with the audit committee composition requirements. Accordingly, Nasdaq indicated in the letter that the Company is now in compliance with the requirements for continued listing set forth in the pertinent Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and, subject to the issuance of a press release, the matter is now closed. On March 24, 2006, the Company issued a press release with respect to the foregoing in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
