Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The only financial metric disclosed is the stock price status:
- Stock Price: Closing bid price has been below $1.00 per share for the last 30 consecutive business days.
- Required Price: $1.00 per share minimum for continued listing.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the notification of non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). This status change places the Company's common stock at risk of delisting if compliance is not restored within the specified timeframe.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Compliance Period: The Company has 180 calendar days (until October 19, 2026) to regain compliance.
- Compliance Criteria: The stock must close at $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.
- Contingency Plan: If the initial period expires without compliance, a second 180-day period may be granted if the Company meets market value and other initial listing standards. This may require a reverse stock split.
- Management Intent: The Company intends to monitor the bid price and may consider a reverse stock split to regain compliance.
- Risks: There is no assurance the Company will regain compliance. Failure to do so by the end of the compliance period(s) will result in delisting. The Company retains the right to appeal a delisting determination.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Monitor the Company's announcement regarding the potential execution of a reverse stock split.
- Review the Company's market value of publicly held shares to determine eligibility for a second compliance period if needed.
- Track the 10 consecutive business day window required to confirm compliance before the October 19, 2026 deadline.
