Hearings Panel's decision will give our shareowners and the market confidence
that we continue, and will continue, to accomplish the goals that we set for
SteelCloud earlier this year," said Brian Hajost, SteelCloud's President and
CEO. "We can now concentrate on our business and on the special shareholders'
meeting which we are holding on October 19th. Raising equity is the key to
satisfying our listing requirements. We anticipate a successful meeting,
which we believe will result in helping SteelCloud to raise the equity
necessary to achieve Nasdaq compliance."
