[QUOTE]Originally posted by juice: [QB] Force Protection Wins Stay from Nasdaq Delisting until September 15, 2008 Business Wire "US Press Releases " LADSON, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Force Protection, Inc. (NASDAQ:FRPT) today announced that on May 29, 2008 it received a notice from the Nasdaq Hearing Panel stating that Force Protection's request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market was granted, subject to certain conditions. These conditions include that on or before September 15, 2008 Force Protection shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008 and any other required restatements of its financial statements. There can be no assurance that the Company will satisfy the conditions by September 15, 2008. Force Protection appealed the Nasdaq Listing Qualification Staff's previously disclosed determination to delist the company's securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market for failure to comply with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14). Force Protection Chief Executive Officer Michael Moody, commented, "We are very grateful to the members of the NASDAQ hearing panel for their consideration and subsequent decision. With the help of Grant Thornton, we are looking to complete the required restatement and the filing of our SEC documents on or before the deadline." As previously announced on March 3, 2008, Force Protection expects to restate its previously reported interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, as a result of errors discovered by management during its year end review of the accounting for accounts payable errors associated with inventory purchased from a sub-contractor as a result of a contract termination. On March 3, 2008, Force Protection filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission which explains certain material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting identified by Force Protection for the year ended December 31, 2007. For further discussion of previously identified material weaknesses refer to Item 9A of the Company's Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006 as filed with the SEC on October 15, 2007. Previously, Force Protection announced that as of April 10, 2008, the Company's Audit Committee had engaged Grant Thornton LLP as the Company's new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 effective immediately.
