Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 1, 2013, WPCS International Incorporated (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “Staff”) notifying the Company that the stockholders’ equity of ($927,428) as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013 was below the minimum stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000 required for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market as set forth in NASDAQ listing rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”).
The Company has been provided 45 calendar days, or until September 16, 2013, to submit a plan (the “Plan”) to regain compliance with the Rule. If the Plan is accepted, the Staff may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notification letter (the “Maximum Extension”) to evidence compliance with the Rule.
While the Company is exercising diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on NASDAQ, and intends to timely provide NASDAQ with its Plan to regain compliance with the Rule, there can be no assurance that the Staff will accept the Plan or that if the Plan is accepted, the Maximum Extension will be granted or that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Rule.
In the event the Plan is not accepted or the Company fails to demonstrate compliance during the extension period, the Company expects the Staff to provide written notification to the Company that its securities will be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market (a “Delisting Notice”). If the Company receives a Delisting Notice, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to delist its securities to a Hearings Panel.
