Company expects to receive a notification from Nasdaq that it is not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq and that its common stock may be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. Following receipt
of such a notification, the Company will have seven calendar days to file its Form 10-K or request a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. The request for hearing will stay any delisting action at least until the Panel reaches a
decision. The Company intends to request such a hearing if it is not able to file its Form 10-K prior to the end of the seven-day period. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">ATC also
