Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes
On August 11, 2008, the Company received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ) stating that for 30 consecutive business days, its common stock failed to maintain a minimum market value of publicly held shares (MVPHS) of $5,000,000, as required under Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(2). This constitutes a failure to satisfy a continued listing rule.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Compliance Period: The Company has 90 calendar days, until November 4, 2008, to regain compliance.
- Compliance Criteria: To regain compliance, the MVPHS must reach $5,000,000 or greater for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days before the November 4, 2008 deadline.
- Delisting Risk: If compliance is not achieved by the deadline, NASDAQ staff will notify the Company of delisting. No assurance is given that compliance will be regained.
- Remedial Options: Upon potential delisting, the Company may appeal to a Listings Qualifications Panel or apply to transfer its securities to the NASDAQ Capital Market if it meets initial inclusion requirements under Marketplace Rule 4310(c).
- Current Status: The notice has no immediate effect on trading; the stock continues to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "CHCI."
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current market value of publicly held shares (MVPHS) to assess proximity to the $5,000,000 threshold.
- Monitor the stock price and trading volume over the next 10 consecutive trading days to determine if compliance can be achieved.
- Review the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) for management's specific strategy to address the listing deficiency.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding an appeal to the Listings Qualifications Panel or an application to transfer to the NASDAQ Capital Market if the November 4, 2008 deadline is missed.
