The company's shares will continue trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. Robert Putnam, Senior Vice President of e.Digital, said, ``The company complied with all the NASDAQ listing requirements other than the current minimum bid price. Unfortunately, due to the length of the application's review, we were caught in general market conditions that made it difficult for us, as well as many other high tech companies, to sustain or increase share price. Based on anticipated improving market conditions, business developments, and our increasing revenue, we intend to re-apply for a NASDAQ listing upon improvement in our share price.'' Fred Falk, President and CEO of e.Digital, added, ``Today's denial will not affect any of our OEM business or products. We are dedicated to the successful execution of our business strategy, and we'll continue working with industry leaders to make e.Digital and MicroOS(TM) a global standard in a wide variety of digital devices. We remain very positive about our current and future OEM business and the success of e.Digital.''
