Moscow CableCom Corp. Receives Nasdaq Staff Determination Letter Regarding Noncompliance With Listing Requirements

Moscow CableCom Corp. Receives Nasdaq Staff Determination Letter Regarding Noncompliance With Listing Requirements

NEW YORK, May 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Moscow CableCom Corp. (NASDAQ:MOCC) today announced that on May 24, 2006, it received a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter indicating that, as a result of the Company's failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2006 within the required timeframe, the Company is no longer in compliance with the qualification requirements for continued listing as set forth in Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), and that its securities are, therefore, subject to delisting from The Nasdaq National Market. The Company has requested a hearing before a Nasdaq listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff Determination.

The Company is working diligently to finalize and file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as promptly as possible to regain compliance.

Andrew M. O'Shea, Chief Financial Officer noted, "The current delay in reporting our first quarter's results represents the effects of the material weaknesses noted in our April 27, 2006 filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. We expect to regain compliance through the filing of our first quarter Form 10-Q within the next few days, and to maintain such compliance going forward through the timely reporting of future periods' reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission."
