Note 3 – Recent Developments and Management’s Plans

 

On December 19, 2018, the Company announced its intent to delist from the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange. The Company believed that due to the relatively low liquidity in the Company’s common stock, remaining listed on the AIM Market did not merit the ongoing costs and regulatory complexities associated with maintaining the AIM listing. On March 5, 2019, the Company held a special meeting of shareholders who then voted in favor of the Company delisting from the AIM Market. The delisting took effect on March 29, 2019.

 

On November 7, 2018, the Company announced that its board of directors had initiated a process to evaluate strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. This process will consider a range of potential strategic alternatives including, but not limited to, business combinations, while simultaneously supporting the Company’s management and employees in the execution of the Company’s current business activities. On November 19, 2018, the Company further announced that in its evaluation of strategic alternatives it will consider a range of potential strategic alternatives including, but not limited to, business combinations in sectors different than that currently engaged in, including cannabis and hemp related industries.

 

By way of a letter dated May 10, 2019, the Listing Qualifications Department of NASDAQ advised the Company that it did not comply with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing, because the Company’s common stock did not meet NASDAQ’s minimum $1.00 bid price requirement (the “Price Requirement”). The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of the common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Price Requirement under the NASDAQ Listing Rules.

 

Historically, the Company has relied upon public offerings and private placements of common stock to raise operating capital. As of August 9, 2019, the Company had cash and marketable securities of approximately $3.99 million (excluding restricted cash of $115,094) and working capital of approximately $3.53 million.

 

The Company anticipates that available cash and marketable securities, as well as expected cash from operations, will be sufficient to meet its obligations as they fall due within one year after these financial statements are issued.
