Nasdaq warns Apple of non-compliance
Following reports of possible stock option improprieties by Apple executives and continuing internal and external investigations of these concerns, Apple has announced that it will delay the filing of its Q3 quarterly earnings reports until it is satisfied that the issues have been properly accounted for and addressed. Delay of the filing puts Apple out of compliance with Nasdaq regulations, and continued non-compliance without taking proper measures are grounds for Nasdaq to cease listing of Apple shares.
Apple has said it's stock will remain listed pending a hearing and decision by the Nasdaq listing qualifications board.
Despite these issues, perhaps because Apple itself–and not a third party, uncovered the irregularities, Apple stock has remained fairly stable.

Hey, Grammarian, of course you're right, but I hadn't seen it explained until Greg just did.
Now it makes a lot more sense than it used to.
(Whose is another oddball that confused me, too.)
Re: its. I was confused by its vs. it's for a long time. I don't remember the proper use being taught to me in school. However, after having it explained, it now makes a lot of sense.
"its" is the same sort of word as "his" and "hers" neither of which have apostrophes.
Oh, dear God, please learn the appropriate use of an apostrophe!
It's = it is. Always. No exceptions.
Its = something that belongs to it.
Pass it on.
I also read that Apple's internal investigation should be complete before the NASDAQ hearing is. So maybe NASDAQ will let Apple off with a 3-day grounding and no MacTV for a week or something.

Two employees (higher up executives) were fired and the accounting errors are being investigated with the help of external F.B.I. I wish that Apple would report this stuff, but they are two "anal" to let ANYTHING out.
Thanks for the paycheck Steve Jobs, but seriously..... do you have to send out an internal memo, but NOT tell the damn public?!
