Multiband Corporation, (NASDAQ:MBND), the nation's largest DIRECTV Master System Operator (MSO) for Multiple Dwelling Units, today announced that it has received a letter from the NASDAQ Staff indicating that the Company has regained compliance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3) and has received notification that Multiband’s securities will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Company had received a NASDAQ Staff Determination letter on November 21, 2007 indicating that the Company failed to comply with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3), and that the Nasdaq Staff was reviewing Multiband’s securities for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company was not at that time in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(3) which requires the Company to have $500,000 of net income from continuing operations for the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the three most recently completed fiscal years; or $35 million market value of listed securities; or $2.5 million in stockholders' equity. However, on February 7, 2008 Multiband announced that it had completed the acquisition of a 51% interest in Michigan Microtech, Inc., which increased its stockholders’ equity, allowing it to meet the requirement for continued listing.
