NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Nasdaq Compliance

On February 15, 2013, the Company was notified by the Nasdaq Stock Market that it is not in compliance with the continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq Capital Market because shares of the Company’s Common Stock had closed at a per share bid price of less than $1.00 for at least 30 consecutive trading days.  Under Nasdaq rules, the Company was given a 180-day grace period to regain compliance, which extends to August 14, 2013. In order to regain compliance, shares of the Company’s Common Stock would need to close at a price of $1.00 per share or more for at least ten consecutive trading days at any time prior to August 14, 2013. The Company may be granted an additional 180-day grace period to regain compliance, if, at that time, it meets the initial listing criteria of the Nasdaq Capital Market, other than the minimum bid price requirement.  In the event that the Company does not regain compliance within the requisite time period, it would have the right to appeal any delisting. The failure to maintain listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market may have an adverse effect on the price and/or liquidity of the Company’s Common Stock.

Bonus Arrangement

On April 2, 2013, the special committee approved a bonus arrangement for Joseph Park, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, that had been recommended by the Company’s compensation committee. The bonus arrangement is intended to incentivize Mr. Park to secure the best possible price in any sale of the Company. Under the arrangement, Mr. Park will receive five per cent of the net proceeds, which would otherwise have been payable to the shareholders of the Company, of any transaction constituting a sale of the Company approved by the Board. The special committee reserved the right to make any determinations requiring the interpretation of the incentive, in its sole discretion.

Salus Agreement

The Salus agreement was amended on April 11, 2013 to modify certain borrowing availability formulas.  It is currently estimated that these amendments will increase borrowing availability by up to $650,000.  The Company paid a $100,000 fee in connection with the amendment.  Salus also waived covenant violations caused by the late delivery of 2012 audited financial statements and the explanatory paragraph regarding a going concern uncertainty contained in the auditor’s opinion for such financial statements.

Strategic Transaction

The Company is currently in active discussions regarding a strategic transaction under the direction of a special committee consisting of independent members of the Board of Directors, together with the assistance of an independent financial advisor (“Proposed Strategic Transaction”).  The Company expects that such transaction will be at a price  substantially below the current market price of the Company’s common stock. We currently have sufficient funds to support our operations until the anticipated signing date of a definitive agreement regarding the Proposed Strategic Transaction, at which time we believe bridge financing will be available until the transaction can be consummated.  Management believes that the Proposed Strategic Transaction, if and when consummated, will provide the necessary liquidity to eliminate the factors that resulted in the going concern qualification.
