As a result of the filing delay, the Company informed The Nasdaq

issued by Nasdaq in situations when there are late filings with
the SEC. The letter from Nasdaq states that the Company is
required to submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaqs
filing requirements for continued listing within 60 calendar days
of the date of the Nasdaq notification letter. Upon acceptance of
the Companys compliance plan, Nasdaq is permitted to grant an
extension of up to 180 calendar days from the filing due date of
the Annual Report, or until May 30, 2017, for the Company to
regain compliance with Nasdaqs filing requirements for continued
listing.
