Warwick Valley Telephone Company (the “Company”), whose Common Shares trade on The Nasdaq National Market under the symbol WWVYE, had, as previously reported on September 7, 2005, been given by a Nasdaq hearing panel until October 15, 2005 to file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 (the “First Quarter 10-Q”) and June 30, 2005 (the “Second Quarter 10-Q”) in order to avoid the delisting of its Common Shares. The Company submitted a request that this deadline be extended and the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. has granted the Company’s request for continued listing of its Common Shares on The Nasdaq National Market, provided that the Company files its First Quarter 10-Q and its Second Quarter 10-Q by October 31, 2005. If the Company is unable to file these reports by that date, its Common Shares may be delisted from The Nasdaq National Market.
The Company currently anticipates that it will be able to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 by October 21, 2005 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 by October 28, 2005.
