Section 3 – Securities and Trading Markets

Item 3.01.

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously disclosed, on August 29, 2006, we received a notice from the American Stock Exchange informing us that we do not meet the exchange’s continued listing standards. In the opinion of Amex, we are not in compliance with requirements of Sections 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the Amex Company Guide. Pursuant to these sections, Amex will typically commence a delisting process for a company that has (a) stockholders’ equity of less than $4 million if the company has sustained losses from continuing operations or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years or (b) stockholders’ equity of less than $6 million if the company has sustained losses from continuing operations or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.

On October 4, 2006, we filed a plan advising Amex of action we have taken, or will take, that would bring us into compliance with the continued listing standards within a maximum of 18 months. If the plan had been accepted, we would have been able to continue our listing on Amex for up to 18 months.

On November 1, 2006, we received notice from the Amex staff indicating that we do not comply with Amex’s continued listing standards due to insufficient shareholders’ equity, as set forth in Section 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the Amex Company Guide. Amex indicated that it intends to strike SLS’s common stock from Amex by filing a delisting application with the SEC. SLS has a limited right to appeal Amex’s determination and request a hearing before a committee of the Exchange. If SLS desires such an appeal, it must be filed on or prior to November 8, 2006. Absent a successful appeal, SLS’s common stock will be delisted from Amex. In that event, SLS plans to pursue a listing of its common stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board where it traded from June 27, 2001 through October 13, 2005.

Attached as an exhibit to this report is a copy of our press release, dated November 7, 2006, announcing the receipt of this notice from Amex.
