Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On October 15, 2014, we received a notice from the NYSE MKT Staff indicating that the Company is below certain of the continued listing standards of the NYSE MKT (the “Exchange”) as set forth in Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE MKT Company Guide, due to the delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 (the “2014 Form 10-K”) beyond the extended filing due date of October 14, 2014. Currently the Company is working diligently with the auditor to finish the audit and complete the 2014 10-K, and expect to file the 2014 Form 10-K by October 29, 2014.
Furthermore, on October 21, 2014, we received another notice from the Exchange regarding our non-compliance with Section 803(B)(2)(a)(iii) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide indicating that the Company has failed to maintain at least one member of the Audit Committee who is financially sophisticated, due to the resignation of Mr. Bo Tan, who served as the Company's Independent Director and Chairman of Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees until September 30, 2014. The Company is currently actively seeking candidates who are financially sophisticated to replace Mr. Tan to serve as Independent Director and Chairman of Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees.
On October 21, 2014, we issued a press release regarding the receipt of the two notices of delinquency from the NYSE MKT. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein in its entirety.
