Item 3.01
|
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
|
As described in Item 5.02 below, Bryan Ferguson resigned as a director of the Company on August 24, 2010, effective on the earlier of September 23, 2010 or the date a new director is appointed to take his place.
Mr. Ferguson was a member of our Audit Committee, Compensation and Incentive Plan Committee, and Nominating and Governance Committee.
Mr. Ferguson’s resignation leaves us with two independent directors, Roger L. Mason and Larry G. Stambaugh. Our Audit Committee, Compensation and Incentive Plan Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee will consist of Messrs. Mason and Stambaugh until our Board fills the vacancy left by Mr. Ferguson’s resignation with a director who meets the independence standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market and SEC Rule 10A-3. Until the vacancy is filled with a director who meets those independence standards, our Audit Committee will consist of two independent directors, which is noncompliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires that the Audit Committee consist of three independent directors. In addition, until the vacancy is filled, our Board of Directors will not have a majority of independent directors, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5606(b)(1).
We have notified Nasdaq of these noncompliance events.
Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1)(A), we must regain compliance with the foregoing Nasdaq rules by the date of our 2011 annual shareholders meeting.
We are currently evaluating candidates who meet the independence standards of Nasdaq and SEC Rule 10A-3 to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Ferguson’s resignation.

Item 5.02
|
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
|
Bryan Ferguson, a member of our Board of Directors and our Audit Committee, Compensation and Incentive Plan Committee, and Nominating and Governance Committee, resigned from our Board on August 24, 2010, effective September 23, 2010.
Both Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Noel Koch, who resigned from our Board on August 11, 2010, had expressed differences of opinion with our management over the Company’s plans as it transitions to higher levels of sales, related financing for such growth, and our plans to achieve profitability. As exemplified by the appointment of Larry G. Stambaugh to our Board, we have recently been evaluating director candidates possessing highly seasoned experience and expertise in corporate governance and finance who can serve our Company well in this time of transition and growth.
