Merriman Curhan Ford received binding written agreements from 100% of warrant holders, agreeing to amend their Series D warrants by removing the ratchet provision. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company no longer records a warrant liability of any material amount. Consequently, the company's shareholders' equity is well in excess of NASDAQ's minimum listing requirement of $2.5 million. This will be reflected in the company's Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
