  On May 1, 2008, the
  Company received notice that the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel has
  granted the Company's request for continued listing of its common stock on The
  Nasdaq Global Market. The continued listing of the Company's common stock is
  subject to the condition that on or before June 30, 2008, the Company must
  file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q
  for the fiscal quarters ended December 30, 2007 and March 30, 2008
  and any necessary restatements of its prior financial statements. Although the
  Company currently believes that it can comply with this condition, there can be
  no assurances that the Company will meet the deadline set by the Panel.
