Computer networking software developer Ixia has received a notice of non-compliance from the Nasdaq after it failed to file its quarterly earnings. The Calabasas company has a March 18 deadline to file a plan stating how it will regain compliance. In that plan, Ixia will ask for an extension to file its third quarter earnings, the company said. Ixia was late with the earnings after Chief Executive Vic Alston was forced to resign in October when it became known he had falsified his resume. Shares closed up 10 cents, or less than 1 percent, to $13.07 on the Nasdaq exchange. The International House of Pancakes (IHOP) LLC opened the doors Monday on its first restaurant in Bahrain.

Alshaya Co. IHOP restaurants are currently operating in Dubai, Kuwait and Saudia Arabia.

Under IHOP’s agreement with Alshaya, a total of 40 developments will be established in the Middle East and North Africa.
