The Company intends to timely request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") to present its plan to regain compliance with the Financial Reporting Rule, which request will stay the suspension of the Company's common stock for a period of 15 days from the date of the request. In connection with its request for a hearing, the Company also intends to request a stay of the suspension of trading and delisting of the Company's common stock while the appeals process is pending. The Panel will notify the Company of its decision to allow the Company's common stock to continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market pending the Panel's decision no later than 15 days following the deadline to request the hearing. The Panel may, in its discretion, determine to continue the Company's listing pursuant to an exception to the Financial Reporting Rule for a maximum of 360 calendar days from the due date of the first Delayed Report, which would be through November 4, 2019. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant a stay of the suspension of trading and delisting while the appeals process is pending or any exception to the Financial Reporting Rule. 

The Company has been unable to timely file the Delayed Reports due to the previously disclosed, ongoing review by the Company's Audit Committee to assess the accuracy of the Company's previously filed financial statements, the focus of which is to review the extent to which the Company incorrectly recognized revenue with respect to bill and hold transactions from 2014 until the second quarter of fiscal 2018, and to determine whether the Company's accounting for those transactions led to material errors in its financial statements.  As disclosed earlier today, the Company has determined to restate its consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, as well as each fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and the first two fiscal quarters of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.  In addition, the Company is cooperating with an ongoing investigation by the SEC relating to certain revenue recognition practices, including bill and hold transactions that occurred from 2014 through the second quarter of 2018. The Company intends to continue its efforts to regain compliance with the Financial Reporting Rule as soon as practicable after the Audit Committee's investigation is complete, the restated financial statements are completed, and, where applicable, they have been audited, and the required Delayed Reports have been finalized.
