On May 21, 2008, Willamette Valley Vineyards, Inc. (the Company) received an additional Nasdaq Staff Determination letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department providing that the Company does not comply with the requirement for continued listing set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because it did not file its Interim Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2008 (Form 10-Q) on a timely basis, and that its securities are, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Company had received a previous Nasdaq Staff Determination Letter (the Prior Determination Letter) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department on April 18, 2008, with respect to the Company not filing its Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 (Form 10-KSB) in a timely manner. The Company reported this event on a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 24, 2008. The Company filed its Form 10-KSB with the SEC on May 19, 2008, and believes it is now in compliance with the Nasdaq rule cited in the Prior Determination Letter with respect to being late on its Form 10-KSB filing.
The Company expects to file its Form 10-Q later today and in no event later than the end of this week, and at the time of filing expects to be in compliance with the requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If the Form 10-Q is not filed before June 5, 2008, or if it is filed but Nasdaq still determines an appeal hearing is necessary (an event the Company considers unlikely), the Company will present its views at an appeal hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel on June 5, 2008.
A copy of the Companys press release announcing the foregoing is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
