Thanks dog turd and if you want to be pissed at anyone be pissed at me, I deleted your posts. You see I have been with this board for sometime now and consider many of the posters friends, even though we have never met.

One thing that has set this board apart from others, is there is an understanding that it is ok to attack the stock but not the posters. You see each of us has a different level of understanding and knowledge when it comes to investing. I still consider myself a novice, but have learned a lot through research and from the board members here.

If I perceive that someone is being attacked versus the stock being attacked, I will delete the post and there are only so many options that Ihub gives you to choose.

If you were not attacking the individual than I apologize for those deletions.

It is fair game to criticize the stock and management and we have all done it at some point, but not the posters.

I have been absent from the board for sometime now due to personal reasons, so many posts which should have been deleted have not. I will try to do a better job of that.

I do welcome your input and to APDN

As for me and this stock. I have been a big supporter. But before I was, I did much research and spoke to people I know in the investment business. Who actually met with Dr. Hayward and talked to other clients who knew him personally. All had the same conclusion. He is intelligent, successful and a stand up guy. He has done this 4 times before and I don't believe that he is here to fleece us. He has taken this company further than anybody else has and has a lot of his own skin in the game. For a long time he was pretty much a one man show, trying to drum up business in a convoluted world called the Gov't. An area he knew little about.

That being said, I understood why he has brought so many on board. But, after the 10K was released, I wonder how well they are serving him now. The company has enough people on board and enough Board Members to make a profit now. I knew that it would take some time after the split for things to work out and I believe it will take another two quarters for this to show its' hand.

Again thanks for the info. I found some additional info about delisting, but am still interested to see if they address my questions. I want to hear their response and plan to prevent it from happening.

I will also add that, that we should all tone down the vulgarity. That was another thing that set this board apart from other boards. Very frustrating times now, but we should clean up the vulgarity. We have become one of the major contributors to Google for APDN. GLTA in the coming months! And have a Happy Holiday Season celebrating your faith!

Here is the info I found. Listing Requirements

To maintain a listing on the NASDAQ stock exchange, corporations are required to meet minimum standards for their share price, market value and corporate governance. Generally, stocks must have a share price of at least $1 and a minimum market value of $1 million. In addition, companies listed on the NASDAQ must adhere to federal disclosure requirements for publicly traded securities and pay annual listing fees. Failure to maintain the standards -- even if the fault lies with market forces beyond the company's control -- can trigger the delisting process.

Deficiency Notice

The first step in the delisting process is the deficiency notice. NASDAQ issues a notice to all companies in violation of the continued listing standards for 30 consecutive trading days. After the notice is issued, the company has 90 calendar days to regain compliance before it will lose its listing status. The company tracks compliance automatically using computer systems, and according to analyst David Westenberg at Wilmer Hale, the deficiency notice "is usually triggered by public filing of an SEC report.

Determination Letter and Trading Halt

If the company fails to regain compliance for at least 10 consecutive days during the 90-day "cure period," NASDAQ informs the company that it will be delisted in seven days and requires it to disclose the determination publicly to shareholders and potential investors. Failure to disclose results in a trading halt of the company's shares. At this point, the company also has the right to appeal the determination to NASDAQ's listing qualifications panel. The company may present the panel with a plan to achieve compliance, which the panel reviews when rendering its decision. If the panel finds the plan inadequate, the company will be delisted. The panel's decision may also be appealed to the courts and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
