On May 15, 2012, the Company submitted an application to transfer its securities to the NASDAQ Capital Market. In accepting the Company’s application, NASDAQ determined that, upon transfer to The NASDAQ Capital Market, the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until December 10, 2012, to meet the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement for that market.

Today, NASDAQ notified the Company that the closing bid price of its common stock has been at $1.00 per share or greater for at least 10 consecutive business days.
