The Company’s hearing before the Panel was held on February 7, 2008. The decision of the Panel to grant the Company’s request for continued listing is subject to the conditions that: (a) on or before April 18, 2008, the Company inform the Panel that it has obtained shareholder approval for, and implemented, a reverse stock split and (b) on or before May 5, 2008, the Company must have evidenced a closing bid price of $1.00 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days.
