This 8-K filing from Hansen Natural Corporation (now Monster Beverage Corp.) on March 7, 2007, primarily addresses a notification received from Nasdaq on March 5, 2007. The company is deemed non-compliant with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements due to its failure to file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
