Business Context and Reporting Period

Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide a clear value for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This document is a current report regarding listing compliance and does not contain financial statements or performance metrics.
Material Changes
The material change reported is the receipt of a notice from the NYSE indicating non-compliance with continued listing requirements. Specifically, the company failed to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The extension period granted under Rule 12b-25 expired on April 2, 2018.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Compliance Deadline: The NYSE has granted the company six months from April 2, 2018, to file the overdue Form 10-K to regain compliance.
- Delisting Risk: If the Form 10-K is not filed by the six-month deadline, the NYSE may grant a further extension of up to six additional months at its sole discretion. However, the exchange reserves the right to commence delisting proceedings at any time if circumstances warrant.
- Management Commentary: The company anticipated this notice based on disclosures made in its Form 12b-25 filed on March 19, 2018, which stated the inability to file the 10-K without unreasonable effort or expense.
