Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On April 17, 2018 the Company received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that it was not compliant with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market because its stockholders’ equity, as reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, was below the required minimum of $2.5 million. Further, as of April 17, 2018, the Company did not meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. This notice of noncompliance has had no immediate impact on the continued listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company had until June 1, 2018 to submit a plan to regain compliance. The Company submitted its compliance plan and on June 27, 2018 Nasdaq granted it an extension until September 30, 2018 to provide evidence of compliance with Rule 5550(b)(1).

 

On September 28, 2018, the Company announced that it had completed a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) for an aggregate of 2,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share at a public price of $3.05 per share. The Company granted the underwriters a forty-five (45)-day option to purchase up to an additional 360,000 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any. We expect the gross proceeds from the Offering to be approximately $7.32 million without any consideration of the 360,000 shares to cover over-allotments, if any. The Company expects additional gross proceeds of $1.098 million should the over-allotment option be exercised in full by the underwriters. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

Furthermore, on September 28, 2018, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option to acquire an additional 200,000 shares at $3.05 per share. The partial exercise of the over-allotment option resulted in additional gross proceeds of $610,000 which the Company intends to use for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

For the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018, the Company reported a deficit in stockholders' equity of $1,561,588. Through the previously described Offering which raised net equity by approximately $6.75 million (without any consideration of the over-allotment option), the partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option which raised net equity by approximately $567,300, the conversion of debt and accrued interest which raised net equity by approximately $256,400 and the exercise option to purchase common stock which raised net equity by approximately $78,904, the Company believes it is now in compliance with the continued listing standard under Rule 5550(b) having stockholders' equity of not less than $2.5 million

 

The Company advises that Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company's ongoing compliance with the stockholders' equity requirement and, if at the time of its next periodic report the Company does not evidence compliance with this requirement, it may be subject to delisting.
