Item 3.01
  Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or
Standard; Transfer of Listing
On August 10, 2007 the Company filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to report that the Company would not timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007. The Form 12b-25 included the following narrative:
The Company is delaying the filing of its Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the second quarter of 2007 until it completes a new assessment of its reportable segments. It’s possible that the number of the Company’s reportable segments may increase. This increase would be shown in the Company’s second quarter Form 10-Q. The Company needs additional time to complete the analysis concerning its reportable segments. Any conclusion regarding the Company’s reportable segments and related disclosure will have no impact on the consolidated balance sheets or on the statements of consolidated income and cash flow.
Because the Company has not yet been able to file its Form 10-Q for the second quarter, on August 16, 2007 the Company received a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter stating that the Company is not in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because the Company did not timely file its report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and, therefore, that the Company’s Common Shares are subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market (the “Staff Determination”). The Company issued a press release on August 21, 2007 disclosing the receipt of the Staff Determination, see Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
In addition to the disclosure in the Form 12b-25 filing the Company previously announced in a press release issued on August 10, 2007 that the Company was delaying the filing of its Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the second quarter of 2007 until it completes a new assessment of its reportable segments.
As provided for in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, the Company has requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination. No action will be taken to delist the Company’s common shares until the Panel has completed its review, though there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing. The Company plans to file its Form 10-Q report for the second quarter of 2007 as soon as practicable following the assessment of its reportable segments.
