"LOUD Technologies Inc. Receives Letter from Nasdaq Regarding Form 10-Q Filing
Published: November 24, 2008
WOODINVILLE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- LOUD Technologies Inc. (NASDAQCM:LTEC) ("LOUD") today announced that it received a notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the requirements for continued listing under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) because it did not file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 (the "Form 10-Q") by the prescribed due date (the "Nasdaq letter"). The Nasdaq letter indicated that the Company has until January 20, 2009 to submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), and that if such a plan is timely submitted by the Company, the Nasdaq staff has the authority to grant the Company an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 10-Q to regain compliance.
As disclosed in the Company's Form 12b-25, Notification of Late Filing, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 17, 2008, the Company is working diligently to prepare and file the Form 10-Q, including the processes related to such filing, so that it may become current in its SEC filings. The Company currently anticipates that it will be able to file the Form 10-Q and regain compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14) prior to January 20, 2009. If for any reason it is unable to do so, the Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance to the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department no later than January 20, 2009. No assurance can be given that Nasdaq would grant an exception for the full 180-day period contemplated in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, if at all. Under Nasdaq's rules, the Company's common stock would continue to be listed on Nasdaq until January 20, 2009, and for any exception period which may be granted to the Company by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department. However, until the Company regains compliance, quotation information for the Company's common stock will include an indicator of the Company's non-compliance and the Company will be included in a list of non-compliant companies on the Nasdaq website.

Die haben den HErstellerin in China wohl verloren. Es war aber kein eigenes Werk, sondern ein Zulieferer und ob das explizit Ampeg betrifft, ist auch nicht klar:
Nachricht vom 17.12.2008:
Loud Technologies Inc. said its key Chinese supplier, which makes about a third of the company’s audio and musical products, has stopped making its products.
Officials at the Woodinville music company (NASDAQ: LTEC) said the Chinese supplier, which is experiencing financial difficulties, has been making Loud products for eight years, and products it made represented 35 percent of Loud’s net sales in 2007 and 32 percent for the first six months of 2008.
Without those sales, Loud said it expects a “significant decline” in net sales in 2009, especially in the first and second quarters. Loud said it will try and obtain custom tooling used by the Chinese supplier to try and transfer the tooling to another manufacturer within the next four months. If it can’t obtain the tooling, it will take up to another four months to obtain new tooling and being manufacturing again.
The company warned that in addition to much lower 2009 net sales, it may not be able to comply with terms and conditions of its senior credit facility; may not have enough cash flow to meet its cash requirements; potential customers may choose a competitor’s product instead of waiting for Loud’s; and may have difficulties finding a new manufacturer.

mackie gehört auch zu laut ?? verdammt. wollte mir demnächst ein interface von denen zulegen. muss ich jetzt nochmals überdenken.
der punkt mit der verlagerung der produktion in billiglohnländer ohne dass der endkunde dies zu spüren (maximal an der qualität, aber dies ist nicht so einfach zu verifizieren wie eine preisänderung) bekommt, ist leider eine ausgeburt der freien marktwirtschaft und dies gibt es in jeder branche, und auch hier in europa. wenn es dabei um traditionsbetriebe geht, ist es natürlich doppelt bitter. mein herz blutet.

So wie ich das verstehe sollen gerade Mackie undAmpeg aber erhalten werden. Ich mach mir da auch wenig Sorgen. Die Rechte z.B. an den Ampegprodukten sind nach wie vor werthaltig, also wird auch in Zukunft jemand die Marke betreiben...
In Zeiten mit sinkenden Absatzzahlen, die Preise zu erhöhen, ist definitiv kontraproduktiv.
Wenn dann auch noch die Qualität unter den Sparmaßnahmen leidet, bleiben die Käufer erst recht weg.
Ich kauf mir definitv nichts neues mehr von Ampeg. Gibt besseres und billigeres.

Wenn überhaupt entsprecht sowas der Firmenpolitik von F....., siehe SWR, Sunn
Daß die Preise steigen sollen ist gerade überall in Branche aktuell, auch wenn es sicher noch etwas dauern wird, bis die höheren Preis am Markt "ankommen". Der böse Dollar ist ja so gestiegen, da können die Firmen alle nicht anders...
Wir haben gerade einen Blackheart Combo geliefert bekommen (gehört als Sub von Crate auch zu Loud), den wir letztes Jahr im Februar bestellt hatten - nicht schlecht, was?
Wollen wir zusammenlegen und Ampeg kaufen?
