Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Farmmi, Inc. covers the month of December 2021, specifically addressing a regulatory update dated December 2, 2021. The Company is a foreign private issuer listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol "FAMI."
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses exclusively on corporate governance and listing compliance matters rather than financial performance.
Material Changes and Listing Status
- Compliance Extension: On December 1, 2021, NASDAQ granted the Company an additional 180 calendar days (until May 30, 2022) to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement (Rule 5550(a)(2)).
- Previous Deficiency: The Company failed to meet the bid price requirement by the initial deadline of November 30, 2021, following a notification on June 3, 2021, that shares had traded below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days.
- Current Status: The Company's shares continue to trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market. The extension was granted because the Company met all other listing requirements, including the market value of publicly held shares.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management intends to monitor the closing bid price and may consider implementing a reverse share split if necessary to cure the deficiency. To regain compliance, the share price must close at or above $1.00 for ten consecutive business days during the new compliance period. The filing explicitly states there can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance or maintain its listing status.
