SSTI SoundThinking Inc

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SST (Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.) (NASDAQ:SSTI) today announced that it has received a NASDAQ Staff Determination letter dated January 2, 2008 indicating that SST is not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing as set forth in Marketplace Rules 4350(e) and 4350(g) because SST did not solicit proxies nor hold an annual meeting of shareholders during 2007. In addition, as previously announced SST is not in compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) as it has not filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 nor its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2007. SST plans to file its delinquent periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission by January 15, 2008 and submit a compliance plan with respect to Marketplace Rules 4350(e) and 4350(g) to the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel as soon as possible thereafter. Pending a decision by the Panel, SST's shares will remain listed on the NASDAQ Global Market. In March 2007, the Company announced it was conducting a voluntary review of its historical stock option grant practices covering the time from its initial public offering in 1995 through 2007. As a result, SST's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission were delayed while the chairman of the Audit Committee conducted an independent review. In July 2007, the Company announced the chairman of the Audit Committee had reached a preliminary conclusion that SST will need to restate its historical financial statements to record additional non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to stock option grants as a result of errors in recording the measurement date for certain stock option grants. Since that time SST has been working to determine those compensation charges and their related impact and prepare its delinquent filings. About Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.
