With the filing of its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first three
quarters of 2007, SST has brought itself current with its SEC reporting
obligations and believes it has addressed NASDAQ Global Market listing
deficiencies associated with its prior inability to file such reports. The
Company expects to shortly submit a plan to the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications
Panel addressing its remaining listing deficiencies, including deficiencies
related to its inability to hold an annual shareholders meeting in 2007.
