Dear Mr. Hanson:
As you are aware, Communications Systems, Inc. (Communications or the Company) is not in compliance with certain of the American Stock Exchanges (the Amex or the Exchange) continued listing standards. Specifically, the Company is not in compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the Amex Company Guide (the Company Guide)(1) due to the fact that it failed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), its Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2006 (the 2006 First Quarter Report), June 30, 2006 (the 2006 Second Quarter Report), and September 30, 2006 (the 2006 Third Quarter Report).
Thank you for your submissions dated March 5, 2007 and March 8, 2007. The Exchange has completed its review of Communications revised plan of compliance and supporting documentation (the Revised Plan) and has determined that, in accordance with Section 1009 of the Company Guide, the Revised Plan makes a reasonable demonstration of the Companys ability to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. Based upon the information you have provided, the Exchange has determined to grant the Company an extension until May 15, 2007, for the Company to file its 2006 First Quarter Report, 2006 Second Quarter Report, 2006 Third Quarter Report and annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (the Extended Plan Period). Therefore, at this time we are prepared to continue the listing of Communications subject to the following conditions:
i. The Company must make a public announcement through the news media by March 28, 2007 disclosing the fact that it continues to be noncompliant with the continued listing standards of the Exchange and that its listing is being continued pursuant to an additional extension, as well as the reasons behind the Companys request for an additional extension. The extended targeted completion date of May 15, 2007, must also be disclosed.
ii. The Company must continue to provide the Exchange Staff with updates in conjunction with the initiatives of the Revised Plan as appropriate or upon request.
iii. Exchange Staff will review Communications periodically for compliance with the Revised Plan. If the Company does not show progress consistent with the Revised Plan, the Exchange Staff will review the circumstances and may immediately commence delisting proceedings. Additionally,
(1) The Amex Company Guide may be accessed at www.amex.com.

please be advised that consistent with the Exchanges obligations and responsibilities as a self-regulatory organization, the Exchange Staff is authorized to initiate immediate delisting proceedings as appropriate in the public interest, notwithstanding the terms of this letter.
At the end of the Extended Plan Period, May 15, 2007, Communications must be in compliance with all the continued listing standards including the issue described above. Failure to regain compliance within the timeframe outlined above will likely result in the Exchange Staff initiating delisting proceedings pursuant to Section 1009 of the Company Guide.
We appreciate your attention to this matter and we look forward to continuing to work with you through this difficult time. Towards that end, it is important during this process that you continue to communicate with the Exchange on a proactive basis regarding all corporate developments. If we may be of any assistance in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me, or Diana Dodi, Lead Analyst, at (212) 306-2396.
Please acknowledge your acceptance of the conditions outlined in this letter by signing and returning the enclosed copy of this letter by March 28, 2007.
Very truly yours, |
