Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) of The NASDAQ Stock Market requires that each listed company must have an audit committee of at least three members, each of whom, among other requirements, must be an “Independent Director” and meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. One of the Company’s then-current Audit Committee members, Jack Lau, did not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Following the elections of the four directors at the Annual Meeting, the Board appointed Arthur H. del Prado and Dr. Edward Hsieh to the Company’s Audit Committee, such Audit Committee now consists of two members, one less than required. On May 7, 2015, the Company notified The NASDAQ Stock Market that, as a result of having one vacancy on the Audit Committee, the Company is not in current compliance with Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A). The Company intends to fill the vacancy on the Audit Committee within the cure period provided for in Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B) of The NASDAQ Stock Market.

On May 8, 2015, the Company received a notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market acknowledging that the Company no longer complies with the audit committee requirements as set forth in Listing Rule 5605 and confirming the Company’s opportunity to regain compliance within the cure period provided in Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B).

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously announced on December 23, 2014 and updated in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on March 9, 2015 and Form 10-Q filed on April 13, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive common stock purchase agreement effective December 18, 2014 (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Xiaoqing Han, the Chairman and CEO of Beijing Xiaoqing Environmental Protection Group. As previously disclosed, the transaction has not closed due to Mr. Han’s difficulty in transferring funds from China. To date, the Company has only received approximately $261,000 of the $5 million purchase price. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, if Mr. Han did not purchase the shares before February 25, 2015, then, upon written request, he is required to pay the Company $3 million plus the legal fees incurred by the Company relating to the sale. The Company’s Board is considering alternatives to collect the amounts owed under the Agreement.
