Specifically, the Company is not in compliance with Exchange Guide Section 1003a ii because the Company reported stockholders' equity of less than $4,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. Due to the higher stockholders' equity requirement identified in the April Notice, the Company is not required by the Exchange to submit an additional Plan of Compliance in connection with the deficiency identified in the notice dated May 22, 2012. If the Plan of Compliance is accepted but the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards of the Company Guide by October 15, 2013 or if the Company is not making progress consistent with the plan during the Plan Period, the Exchange staff will initiate delisting procedures as appropriate. In such event, the Company may appeal an Exchange staff determination to initiate delisting proceedings in accordance with Section 1010 and Part 12 of the Company Guide.
