Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 14, 2018, on August 8, 2018, Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Letter”) from the staff of the NYSE American (the “Exchange”) stating that, based on the Company’s financial statements at March 31, 2018, the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide, which requires that a company’s stockholders’ equity be $4.0 million or more if it has reported net losses in three of its last four fiscal years (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). As of March 31, 2018, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $1.4 million, and had net losses in three of its last four fiscal years, thus bringing the Company below the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. The decline in equity primarily resulted from the accrual of approximately $5 million in damages arising from the Aeroflex litigation as well as over $2 million in litigation costs over the years. The Company also had to record a valuation allowance of approximately $3.5 million against the Company’s deferred tax asset.
On December 20, 2018, the Exchange advised the Company that the Exchange has determined that the Company still does not meet the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement pursuant to the terms of the extension for compliance.
The Company plans to appeal the Exchange’s determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Exchange’s Rules 1009 and/or 1010. Such hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities pending the Panel’s decision, during which time the Company’s stock will continue to be listed on the Exchange, and the Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “TIK”. The Company’s receipt of such notification from the Exchange does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company’s stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American while the Company evaluates it various alternatives.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
