Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K was filed by NanoVibronix, Inc. on September 14, 2018. The report addresses a regulatory notice received from the NASDAQ Stock Market regarding the company's compliance with continued listing standards on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
Key Financial Metrics
- Stockholders' Equity: Approximately $2.2 million (as reported in the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2018).
- Minimum Equity Requirement: $2.5 million.
- Alternative Compliance Standards: The company does not meet the market value of listed securities requirement of $35 million, nor the net income from continuing operations requirement of $500,000 for the most recent fiscal year or two of the last three fiscal years.
- Other Metrics: The filing text does not provide clear values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity beyond the equity figure cited.
Material Changes and Compliance Status
The company received a formal notice that it no longer complies with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) due to insufficient stockholders' equity. Additionally, the company failed to meet alternative compliance standards regarding market value or net income. This represents a material risk to the company's public listing status.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Compliance Timeline: The company has 45 calendar days (until October 29, 2018) to submit a plan to regain compliance.
- Extension Possibility: If a plan is accepted, NASDAQ may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days to evidence compliance.
- Management Action: Management intends to evaluate courses of action and submit a plan promptly.
- Risks: There is no assurance that a compliance plan will be accepted or that the company will regain compliance. Failure to do so could result in delisting. The company retains the right to appeal a delisting determination to a NASDAQ Hearings Panel.
Investor Verification Checklist
