Material Changes
Nasdaq Listing Compliance:
- Issue: The Company received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market on February 22, 2010, stating it failed to promptly issue a press release disclosing material terms of two inducement grants issued to executives in March and August 2009.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: Management resolved the non-compliance by issuing the necessary disclosures prior to the formal Nasdaq letter being fully processed, resulting in the immediate closure of the matter.
Risks: The filing highlights the risk of delisting or failure to satisfy continued listing standards due to disclosure timing errors regarding executive compensation.
Unusual Items: None reported beyond the specific disclosure timing issue.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the content of the press release dated February 26, 2010 (Exhibit 99.1) to confirm the specific terms of the inducement grants.
