SPENCER, Iowa--Cycle Country Accessories Corp. (AMEX: ATC) has announced that NYSE Amex LLC (“Exchange”) has accepted Cycle Country’s previously submitted plan of compliance and, pursuant to such plan, has granted Cycle Country an extension until April 14, 2010 to regain compliance with its continued listing standards in order to maintain its listing on the Exchange.

Also as previously disclosed, Cycle Country received an additional letter dated February 17, 2010 from the Exchange notifying it that it had not filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ending December 31, 2009, which also constitutes a material violation of its listing agreement with the Exchange and the Exchange’s continued listing standards.
