Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes
- Audit Committee Composition: The death of Director Sam Borek on December 12, 2014, reduced the Audit Committee to two members, violating Nasdaq Rule 4350(d)(2)(A) which requires at least three independent members.
- Regulatory Status: On June 11, 2015, NASDAQ notified the Company that it failed to cure the deficiency by the June 9, 2015 deadline and initiated procedures to delist the Company's securities.
- Recruitment Status: The Company is seeking to add two new directors, but their appointment is contingent upon approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, which has not yet been received.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Delisting Risk: If the Company does not appeal the determination, trading of its common stock will be suspended on June 22, 2015, and the stock will be delisted.
- Management Action: The Company plans to appeal NASDAQ's decision. Pending the resolution of the appeal, common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
- Contingency: The ability to regain compliance depends on the timely appointment of new directors and the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals.
