Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

 

On August 17, 2023, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) (the "Rule"), which requires a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity, $35,000,000 market value of listed securities, or $500,000 net income from continuing operations. This communication served as formal notice that the Company's financial standing did not meet one of the essential benchmarks set by Nasdaq for continued listing on the exchange.

 

In response to the deficiency notice and in pursuit of compliance with the Rule, the Company undertook several strategic transactions. Notably, on October 1, 2023, the Company completed a significant transaction with Futuris Company ("Futuris"), which purchased certain client contacts, associated staff contractors, business information, and relationships from the Company. The transaction included $500,000 in Futuris stock and a share of ongoing gross profits capped at $2 million. This strategic move was part of the Company's broader effort to realign its financial structure and operational focus towards achieving compliance with Nasdaq's requirements.

 

Furthermore, the Company engaged in additional strategic activities, including the entry into the sale of assets to Job Mobz Inc. and the acquisition of GoLogiq SPV LLC, which was collectively designed to enhance the Company's financial position and stockholders' equity.

 

Furthermore, the current holders of approximately $3 million of promissory notes and warrants issued by the Company pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of August 30, 2022, transferred such notes and warrants to several non-affiliate accredited investors.   Immediately following such transfer, warrants for the purchase of 161,940 shares were exercised in consideration of the cancellation of approximately $450,194 in such promissory notes.  In addition, principal and interest on promissory notes of approximately $523,380 were converted, with the Company’s consent, into 286,000 common shares at an exercise price of $1.83per share, and $737,538 in such debt was waived. 

 

Following these transactions, and as evidenced by our financial projections and assessments, the Company's stockholders' equity as of February 13, 2024, was estimated to be approximately $2,600,000, surpassing the minimum requirements set forth by the Rule.

 

Based on the completion of these transactions and the resulting financial restructuring, as of the date of this report, Recruiter.com Group Inc. firmly believes it has regained compliance with the Nasdaq's stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing. The Company is committed to maintaining this compliance and understands that Nasdaq will continue to monitor our adherence to the stockholders' equity requirement. We are aware that should the Company not demonstrate compliance in our next periodic report, we may face delisting procedures as per Nasdaq's regulatory framework.

 

The Company is dedicated to transparency and compliance with all Nasdaq listing requirements and will continue to take the necessary steps to ensure ongoing compliance and to support the interests of our shareholders and stakeholders.
