Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K is a current report filed by Digital Ally, Inc. (not Kustom Entertainment, Inc.) on June 27, 2018. The filing addresses two primary corporate governance and listing status events: a Nasdaq delisting notice regarding stockholders' equity and the postponement of the company's annual meeting of stockholders.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific revenue, profit, cash flow, or debt figures for the current period. However, it references historical financial data regarding listing compliance:
- Stockholders' Equity: Reported as below the required minimum of $2.5 million in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
- Compliance Status: As of April 17, 2018, the company failed to meet alternative compliance standards for market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.
Material Changes and Events
- Nasdaq Noncompliance: On April 17, 2018, the company received notice of noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) due to insufficient stockholders' equity. This has not immediately impacted trading.
- Compliance Extension: The company submitted a compliance plan on June 1, 2018. On June 27, 2018, Nasdaq granted an extension until September 30, 2018 to provide evidence of compliance.
- Annual Meeting Postponement: The annual meeting originally scheduled for June 27, 2018, was postponed to July 5, 2018, at 1 p.m. CDT to allow additional time for stockholder voting. The record date remains May 8, 2018.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management has indicated that there can be no assurance the company will regain compliance with the stockholders' equity requirement or meet alternative listing standards (market value or net income) by the September 30, 2018 deadline. Failure to comply could result in delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market. No changes were made to the proposals for the rescheduled annual meeting.
