Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). We are required to maintain market capitalization of more than $50,000,000 (measured over a 30 day trading period) or stockholders’ equity of more than $50,000,000 in order to remain in compliance with NYSE continued listing standards.

As previously disclosed, the NYSE notified us on November 4, 2011 that we are “below compliance” because as of November 1, 2011 our 30 trading-day average market capitalization was $42.3 million and our stockholder’s equity as of September 30, 2011 was $40.9 million. We had 45 days from receipt of that notice to submit a plan to the NYSE and demonstrate our ability to achieve compliance with continued listing standards within 18 months. The plan we submitted has been accepted by the NYSE. As a result, our common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE, subject to quarterly reviews by the NYSE’s Listing and Compliance Committee to ensure the Company’s progress toward its plan to restore compliance with continued listing standards.

We issued a press release today to disclose the acceptance of our plan by the NYSE and a copy is attached to this Form 8-K as an exhibit.
