Material Changes and Listing Status
On March 13, 2026, the Company received notification from the NYSE American stating it is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement of Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide. This section requires stockholders' equity of $6.0 million or more for companies with losses in their five most recent fiscal years. The Company's equity of $3.8 million falls below this threshold.
This follows a previous non-compliance notice received on October 1, 2025, regarding Section 1003(a)(ii), which required $4.0 million in equity for companies with losses in three of the four most recent fiscal years. The NYSE American accepted the Company's plan to regain compliance on December 16, 2025, granting a plan period through April 1, 2027.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
The Company intends to adhere to its previously accepted Plan to regain compliance with the listing standards by the April 1, 2027 deadline. During this plan period, the Company must provide quarterly updates to NYSE American staff concurrent with its periodic filings.
Risks and Contingencies:
- If the Company fails to regain compliance by the April 1, 2027 deadline, or fails to make progress consistent with its Plan, the NYSE American may initiate delisting proceedings.
- The Company explicitly states it can provide no assurances that it will make satisfactory progress, regain compliance, or that future events will not adversely affect its ability to comply.
