Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide specific financial statements, revenue, profit, cash flow, or debt figures. The primary financial metric disclosed is the Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (MVPHS), which fell below the Nasdaq requirement of $15,000,000.
Material Changes and Events
- Nasdaq Delisting Notice: On December 18, 2019, the company received notice from Nasdaq that it failed to meet the minimum MVPHS requirement of $15,000,000 under Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(C).
- Compliance Period: The company has been granted an initial 180-day period (until June 15, 2020) to regain compliance. To do so, the MVPHS must reach at least $15,000,000 for ten consecutive business days within this window.
- Strategic Acquisition: On December 19, 2019, the company announced a non-binding letter of intent to acquire an equity stake in Starrise Media Holdings Limited, a Chinese entertainment company.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management intends to monitor the MVPHS closely and will consider various options if the stock price does not naturally recover to compliance levels. The filing outlines a potential delisting process if compliance is not achieved by June 15, 2020, or any subsequent extension period. In the event of a delisting notice, the company would have the right to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, which could grant an additional 180-day extension.
