Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule
or Standard, Transfer of Listing
As of January 24, 2006 the Company has not filed its annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005. The timely filing of this report is
a condition for the Company's continued listing on the American Stock Exchange
("AMEX" or "Exchange"), as required by Sections 134 and 1101 of the AMEX Company
Guide (the "Company Guide"). In addition, the Company's failure to timely file
this report is a material violation of its listing agreement with the Exchange
and therefore, pursuant to Section 1003(d) of the Company Guide, the Exchange is
authorized to suspend and remove the Company's securities from the Exchange.
In order to maintain its AMEX listing the Company must submit a plan by
February 7, 2006 advising the Exchange of action it will take to bring the
Company into compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the Company Guide no later
than March 20, 2006 (the "Plan"). The Company plans to submit such a plan by
February 7, 2006. The Plan must include any specific milestones and details
related to completion of any required filings. The AMEX Listings Qualifications
Department will evaluate the Plan, including any supporting documentation, and
make a determination as to whether the Company has made a reasonable
demonstration in the Plan of an ability to regain compliance with all applicable
continued listing standards by March 20, 2006, in which case the Plan will be
accepted. If the Plan is accepted, the Company will remain listed during the
plan period, during which time it will be subject to periodic review to
determine whether it is making progress consistent with the Plan.
If the Company does not submit a plan, or submits a plan that is not
accepted, it will be subject to delisting proceedings. Furthermore, if the plan
is accepted but the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing
standards by March 20, 2006 or does not make progress consistent with the plan
during the Plan period, the Exchange will initiate delisting proceedings. The
Company may appeal a staff determination to initiate delisting proceedings in
accordance with Section 1010 and Part 12 of the Company Guide.
