January 06 2006 - 5:30AM
Business Wire
Excelligence Learning Corporation (Nasdaq:LRNSE) announced today
that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel has agreed to continue
the listing of the Company's securities on The NASDAQ Capital
Market, provided that the Company files its restated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the quarter
ended March 31, 2005, as well as its delinquent reports on Form
10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005,
on or before January 31, 2006. The Panel also informed the Company
that in the event it has not completed its filings and become fully
compliant by the close of business on January 31, 2006, the
Company's shares will be immediately delisted from The NASDAQ Stock
Market. As previously announced, the completion and review of the
Company's quarterly reports have been delayed pending finalization
of the Company's restatement of its financial statements as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the quarter ended March
31, 2005. The Panel had initially agreed to continue the listing of
the Company's securities on The NASDAQ Capital Market provided that
the Company filed its delinquent quarterly report for the period
ended June 30, 2005, and all restated financial statements for
prior periods, on or before November 14, 2005. The Company
subsequently notified the Panel that it would be unable to meet
that deadline, and requested a further extension of time through
December 30, 2005 to file its quarterly report for the period ended
June 30, 2005, all required restatements, and its quarterly report
for the period ended September 30, 2005. On November 16, 2005, the
Panel granted the Company's request, extending the deadline to
December 30, 2005. It is this extended deadline that the Panel
modified in its January 5, 2006 letter. In connection with its
decision to grant the Company's request for a further filing
extension, the Panel has requested prompt notification of any
significant events that occur during the extension period. To
maintain its listing, the Company must also demonstrate compliance
with all other continued listing requirements of The NASDAQ Capital
Market. Although the Company currently believes that it will be
able to meet the Panel's requirements, there can be no guarantee
that it will be able to file its restated financial statements and
its delinquent quarterly reports on or before January 31, 2006. If
the Company is unable to meet the Panel's terms, the Company's
securities will be immediately delisted from The NASDAQ Stock
Market. About Excelligence Learning Corporation Excelligence
