Material Changes
- Delisting Notice: On August 11, 2010, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating it is not in compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to the failure to timely file the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
- Additional Basis for Delisting: This failure serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company's securities from the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
- Response Deadline: The Company must present its views regarding this deficiency to Nasdaq in writing by August 18, 2010.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Previous Delisting History: Trading was suspended on May 20, 2010, due to late filings for Q3 2009 and FY 2009. The Company appealed this to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
- Hearings Panel Decision: On July 23, 2010, the Hearings Panel decided to continue the listing, subject to the condition that the Company files the missing Q3 2009, FY 2009, and Q1 2010 reports by November 8, 2010.
- Future Requirement: The Company expects Nasdaq will also require the June 30, 2010 Form 10-Q to be filed by November 8, 2010.
- Risk: Failure to meet the November 8, 2010 deadline for all outstanding reports could result in delisting.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the Company's ability to file the missing Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, by the November 8, 2010 deadline.
- Confirm the status of the Company's response to Nasdaq regarding the August 11 deficiency letter (due August 18, 2010).
- Monitor for any further suspension or delisting notices from Nasdaq if the November 8, 2010 filing deadline is missed.
- Review the upcoming Form 10-Q and 10-K filings once submitted to assess the underlying financial health causing the reporting delays.
