This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. You can identify these statements by use of the words “guidance,” “expects,” “plans,” “estimates,” “intends,” “believes” and similar expressions that do not relate to historical matters.

(the “Company”) to differ materially from the anticipated future results, performance and achievements that are expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 12, 2005, and in the Company’s other public filings. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future developments or events.

 

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

 

The Company issued a press release on Thursday, July 7, 2005 reporting that the Company’s common stock had been delisted from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market. The Company’s common stock had been listed via an exception from Nasdaq’s stockholders’ equity and minimum bid price requirements, as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rules 4310(c)(2)(B) and 4310(c)(4). While the Company demonstrated compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement in accordance with the terms of the exception, it did not achieve a $1.00 minimum bid price by June 30, 2005 as required by the terms of the exception.

 

The Company expects that quotations for its common stock will appear in the “Pink Sheets.” The Company’s common stock may also be quoted in the future on the OTC Bulletin Board provided a market maker files the necessary application with the NASD and such application is cleared. However, there can be no assurances that the Company’s common stock will be eligible for trading or quotation on any alternative exchange or market.

 

A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
