NYSE American Listing Standards Non-Compliance and Delisting Determination  

 

On May 19, 2022, the NYSE American exchange (the “Exchange”) announced the suspension of trading of our common stock due to non-compliance with the SEC annual and quarterly report timely filing criteria provided for in Section 1007 of the Exchange’s Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) and announced that it was initiating proceedings to delist our common stock. As a result of the suspension, our common stock began trading on May 20, 2022 under the symbol “CVUA” on the OTC Pink Limited Information market tier, which is operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. The Company filed a request for review of the Exchange’s determination to initiate delisting proceedings to a Committee of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation (the “Committee”). A hearing for this review before a Listing Qualification Panel of the Committee has been scheduled for September 7, 2022 (the “Hearing”). The delisting action has been stayed pending the outcome of the review although trading of our common stock on the Exchange remains suspended.

 

We will become current with our SEC reports upon the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (the “2022 Q1 Form 10- Q”) and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 (the “2022 Q2 Form 10-Q”). The Company believes that becoming current with our SEC reports will resolve the condition that led to NYSE American suspending trading in the Company’s common stock on the Exchange and its determination to commence proceedings to delist the common stock from the Exchange. The 2022 Q1 Form 10-Q and 2022 Q2 Form 10-Q will be filed as soon as practicable. We cannot assure you that if the Company becomes current with our SEC reports before the Hearing or the outcome of the Hearing will result in the Exchange changing its delisting determination or that our common stock will resume trading on the Exchange in the future.

 

On September 17, 2021, we received notice from the Exchange indicating that the Company does not meet the continued listing standards set forth in Part 10 of the Company Guide. The Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide since it has stockholders’ equity of less than $2.0 million and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years and Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide since it has stockholders’ equity of less than $4.0 million and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. The Company is therefore subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide and was required to, and timely did, submit a plan to the Exchange addressing how the Company intends to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by March 17, 2023 (the “Plan”). On November 19, 2021, we received notice from the Exchange that it accepted the Plan, subject to periodic review, including quarterly monitoring, for compliance with the Plan. If the Company’s common stock is not delisted from the Exchange as a result of the Company’s delayed filings as described above and (i) the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by March 17, 2023 or (ii) the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the plan period, the Exchange staff may initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate.

 

Trading of Common Stock on Expert Market

 

The Company is not current in its SEC reporting obligations with respect to its 2022 Q1 Form 10-Q. Companies that are not current in their SEC reporting obligations in accordance with the provisions of Rule 15c-11 (“Rule 15c2-11”) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, do not have current information publicly available and do not meet the requirements for ongoing quoting of their securities on one of the public markets (the “OTC Markets”) operated by the OTC Markets Group. Effective July 15, 2022, the Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Group’s “Expert Market.”

 

The Expert Market is available for unsolicited quotes only, meaning broker-dealers may use the Expert Market to publish unsolicited quotes representing orders from retail and institutional investors who are not affiliates or insiders of the Company. Quotations in Expert Market securities are made available to broker-dealers, institutions, and other sophisticated investors. Accordingly, investors are not assured of the opportunity to purchase or sell their shares when they desire to do so or at all.

 

 See Part I Item 1A Risk Factors - “There is currently a very limited trading market for our common stock and investors are not assured of the opportunity to make transactions in our common stock.”Cost reduction initiative

 

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company began a cost reduction initiative designed to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs during fiscal year 2022. Management is reallocating resources and reducing operating and general administrative expenses to more properly align the Company’s costs to anticipated near-term revenue given the timing differences between the conclusion of certain mature programs and the commencement of new programs in 2022. The Company executed a headcount reduction and furlough action in March 2022 and is implementing cost controls and cuts during the balance of fiscal year 2022. The Company anticipates recording severance costs related to the headcount reduction in its first fiscal quarter of 2022 and the cost reductions of these actions are anticipated to positively impact the financial results of the Company beginning in the second fiscal quarter of 2022.
