Dear Mr. Taft:
This letter shall supersede our letter dated January 8, 2007. On December 19, 2006, the Company notified Staff that due to the fact that John D. Harkey, Jr., a former member of the audit committee, did not stand for reelection as a director at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders on December 13, 2006, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s audit committee requirements as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4350.
However, consistent with Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(4), Nasdaq will provide the Company a cure period until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or December 13, 2007 in order to regain compliance.
The Company must submit to Nasdaq documentation, including biographies of any new directors, evidencing compliance with the rules no later than this date. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by this date, Nasdaq rules require Staff to provide written notification to the Company that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel.
Marketplace Rule 4803(a) requires that the Company, as promptly as possible but no later than four business days from the receipt of this letter, make a public announcement through the news media which discloses receipt of this letter and the Nasdaq rules upon which it is based.1 The Company must provide a copy of this announcement to Nasdaq’s MarketWatch Department, the Listing Qualifications Department, and the Listing Qualifications Hearings Department (the

In the event the Company does not make the required public announcement, trading in its securities will be halted.
Please be advised that Marketplace Rule 4803(a) does not relieve the Company of its disclosure obligation under the federal securities laws. In that regard, Item 3.01 of Form 8-K requires disclosure of the receipt of this notification within four business days.4 Accordingly, the Company should consult with counsel regarding its disclosure and other obligations mandated by law.
In addition, an indicator will be broadcast over Nasdaq’s market data dissemination network noting the Company’s non-compliance. The indicator will be displayed with quotation information related to the Company’s securities on Nasdaq.com, NasdaqTrader.com and by other third-party providers of market data information. Also, a list of all non-compliant Nasdaq companies and the reason(s) for such non-compliance is posted on our website at www.nasdaq.com. The Company will be included in this list commencing five business days from the date of this letter.
If you have any questions, please contact Wayne Bush, Lead Analyst, at (301) 978-8034.
