Receipt of Delisting Determination from The Nasdaq Stock Market

 

On January 27, 2006, we received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market informing us that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel had determined to delist our securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market, effective with the open of business on January 31, 2006. The Panel’s decision to delist was based upon our failure to comply with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(ii)(B), which requires us to maintain a market value of listed securities of at least $35,000,000 or, in the alternative, shareholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 and our failure to evidence a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, as required by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4).

 

On January 30, 2006, we filed a formal request with the Panel for reconsideration of the determination to delist our securities. The request is based upon certain mistakes of material fact contained in the Panel decision and was filed in accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4808(a). The request for reconsideration will not stay the delisting action. As such, our securities were delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market effective with the open of business on Tuesday, January 31, 2006. Our shares began trading in the “pink sheets” under the ticker symbol “APHT” effective with the open of business on January 31, 2006. The Panel has indicated that it will rule on the request for reconsideration on or before February 14, 2006.

 

Investing in our common stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 2 of the prospectus for a discussion of certain factors you should consider before you buy our common stock.
