The Company previously received notice from the Exchange on December 9, 2016, indicating the Company is below compliance with Section 1003(a)(i), Section 1003(a)(ii) and Section 1003(a)(iii) since it reported a stockholders’ equity deficit as of June 30, 2016 and had a net losses in its 5 most recent fiscal years ended September 30, 2015.

The Company will be subject to periodic review during this period.

The Company may then appeal a staff determination to initiate such proceedings in accordance with the exchange's Company Guide.
