Item
3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer Listing.
On
March 20, 2018, we received a letter from the NYSE Regulation stating that we are not in compliance with NYSE American LLC continued
listing standards. Specifically, we are not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide because
we reported stockholders’ equity of less than $6 million as of December 31, 2017 and had net losses in five of our most
recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2017. Our stockholders’ equity was $5.5 million as of December 31, 2017. As a result,
we are now subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide.
We
must submit a plan to NYSE Regulation by April 20, 2018 advising of actions we have taken or will take to regain compliance with
Section 1003(a)(iii) by March 20, 2019. If NYSE Regulation determines to accept the plan, we will be subject to periodic reviews,
including quarterly monitoring, for compliance with the plan. If we do not submit a plan or if the plan is not accepted, delisting
proceedings will commence. Furthermore, if the plan is accepted but we are not in compliance with the continued listing standards
by March 20, 2019, or if we do not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, the NYSE American staff will
initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.
Our
management is reviewing our options to address the noncompliance and expects to submit a plan on or before the April 20, 2018
deadline.
The
March 20, 2019 deadline to regain compliance is a truncated deadline because this instance of non-compliance occurred within 12
months of May 12, 2017, the date on which we regained compliance with our previously reported non-compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii).
Under Section 1009(h) of the Company Guide, the NYSE American may truncate the continued listing evaluation and follow up procedures
if a company, within 12 months of the end of a plan period, is again determined to be below the continued listing standards.
Item 8.01
Other Events.
On
March 23, 2018, we issued a press release announcing the receipt of the letter described in Item 3.01. A copy of the press
release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
