Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On June 25, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan under which the Company will incur restructuring charges estimated to be approximately $3.0 to $3.5M. These charges are related to the closure of a facility and the elimination of positions from a number of functional areas following a review of on-going expense requirements. The charges are expected to be recognized in the quarter ended July 1, 2007. The estimated charges include expenses estimated at approximately $0.3 to $0.5M in connection with a lease for a facility that the Company expects will no longer be utilized by the Company, contractual commitments of approximately $1.3 to $1.6M, and employee severance expenses estimated to be $1.2 to $1.6M. The Company believes that all cash expenditures in connection with the action will occur in future periods.

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

On June 22, 2007, the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Listing and Hearings Review Council (the “Listing Council”) granting the Company an extension until July 3, 2007 to file to come into compliance with requirements for the filing of periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On June 25, 2007, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Market advising that the Board of Directors of The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (the “Nasdaq Board”) had stayed the decision of the Listing Council pending further consideration by the Nasdaq Board in July 2007. As a result, the Company believes that its common stock will remain listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market after July 3, 2007 pending the further consideration of the Nasdaq Board.

As previously disclosed in press releases and on Current Reports on Form 8-K, dated as of September 27, 2006, November 16, 2006 and February 22, 2007, and May 16, 2007, the Company previously received Nasdaq Staff Determinations that the Company was not in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because it did not timely file its Form 10-K report for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2006, its Form 10-Q report for the fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2006, its Form 10-Q report for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2006 and its Form 10-Q report for the fiscal quarter ended April 1, 2007.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers, Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

Herb Schneider advised the Company on June 21, 2007 of his intent to resign his position as Vice President of Research and Development, effective June 26, 2007. He will remain employed by the Company for a transition period.
