These factors include, without limitation, the Company's ability to respond in a timely and satisfactory matter to the inquiries by Nasdaq, the Company's ability to regain compliance with Listing Rule, the Company's ability to become current with its reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and the risk that the completion and filing of the Form 10-K will take longer than expected.
