Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The report focuses exclusively on compliance with listing standards rather than financial performance metrics.
Material Changes and Listing Status
- Non-Compliance Notice: On January 27, 2016, Dataram Corporation was notified by NASDAQ of non-compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.
- Current Status: The notification does not immediately impact the company's listing status.
- Compliance Period: The company has 180 days (until July 25, 2016) to regain compliance by maintaining a closing bid price of at least $1.00 for ten consecutive business days.
- Extension Criteria: If compliance is not met by July 25, 2016, the company may qualify for an additional 180-day period if it meets the market value of publicly held shares requirement and all other initial listing standards (excluding the bid price).
Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
Management intends to monitor the bid price of its common stock. The company is considering available options to regain compliance, including the exercise of a stockholder-approved reverse stock split, should the stock price not naturally recover by the July 25, 2016 deadline. The primary risk identified is potential delisting if the bid price requirement is not met within the specified compliance windows.
