Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes
On September 26, 2018, the Company received notification from Nasdaq listing qualifications staff that its common stock no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). This deficiency is due to the stock price closing below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Compliance Period: The Company has an initial 180-calendar-day period, ending March 25, 2019, to regain compliance.
- Remediation Requirements: To regain compliance, the closing bid price must be $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days before the deadline.
- Secondary Compliance Option: If the initial period is unsuccessful, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period if it meets other listing standards (excluding bid price) and provides written notice of intent to cure, potentially via a reverse stock split.
- Delisting Risk: If the Company fails to cure the deficiency or is deemed ineligible for the second period, Nasdaq may delist the securities. The Company may appeal such a determination, but there is no assurance of success.
- Management Action: Management intends to actively monitor the bid price and market value and will consider options, including a reverse stock split, to achieve compliance.
