On February 5, 2009, the registrant received a Nasdaq Staff Notification of Deficiency and Compliance Letter indicating that the registrant had violated the shareholder approval rules under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(D)(ii) (the "Rule") in connection with its sale during November and December of 2008 of units consisting of an aggregate of 1,662,500 common shares and warrants to acquire 1,662,500 common shares and an option to purchase an additional units consisting of 886,667 shares and warrants to acquire 886,667 shares. Subsequently, the investors in such issuances agreed that no warrants or options to purchase additional units consisting of shares and warrants would be exercised until six months after the original agreement dates. As a result the Nasdaq Staff determined that the registrant has regained compliance with the Rule and that upon issuance of a press release, which was issued on February 11, 2009, this matter is now closed.
