Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 9, 2010, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying us that based on our Form 8-K/A dated December 3, 2010, we have regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the "Listing Rule") which requires a minimum $2.5 million in stockholders' equity (the "Letter"). This Letter follows up the August 16, 2010 notification from Nasdaq that we did not meet the minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity requirement set forth in the Listing Rule, nor did we meet the Rule's compliance alternatives of either market value of listed securities of $35 million or $500,000 of net income from continuing operations in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years. The Letter also states that we must evidence compliance with the Listing Rule upon filing our next periodic report; otherwise we may be subject to delisting.

In addition, because we were successful in raising our stockholder equity in excess of $5 million as set forth in Form 8-K/A filed December 3, 2010, we believe Nasdaq will grant us upon the expiration of the first grace period later this month, a second 180 day grace period for us to raise our stock price above the minimum $1.00 bid price.

Today we issued a press release regarding the notice from NASDAQ, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
