Good question SanBruno. From the 2011-11-23 10K

Just in case you haven’t seen this already (This certainly resulted in quite a few interesting discussions threads):

Although DTC eligible, our stock is “chilled for deposits” at DTCC, and the National Securities Clearing Corporation has exited our stock from the Continuous Net Settlement System, therefore, trades are executed and cleared on a trade for trade basis in certificate form.

As a result, the settlement of physical certificated positions can carry significant pass-through charges, including: execution fees, DTC fees, deposit fees, and transfer agent fees. These fees, which can vary and may be substantial, increase the cost that shareholders must bear for clearing and execution of trades. Furthermore, pass-through charges described above may not be immediately charged to a customer account following a trade in non-DTC eligible securities, as our clearing firms may receive notice of such fees as late as three weeks following the trade. Broker-dealers may reserve the right to withhold funds in a customer account pending potential assessment of fees associated with trading in low priced or sub-penny securities.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital, it may adversely impact our ability to continue operations and we may go out of business.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because we may attempt to acquire a significant portion of the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through the sale of equity securities, or convertible debt instruments, a decline in the price of our common stock could be detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may cause investors to not choose to invest in our stock. If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. a result, our business may suffer, and not be successful and we may go out of business. We also might not be able to meet our financial obligations if we cannot raise enough funds through the sale of our common stock and we may be forced to go out of business.
