Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On July 27, 2017, Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. (the “Company” or “Tel”) received a letter from the staff of the NYSE American (the “Exchange”) stating that, based on the Tel’s financial statements at March 31, 2017, Tel is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the NYSE American Company Guide, which requires that a company’s stockholders’ equity be $2.0 million or more if it has reported net losses in two of its last three fiscal years (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). As of March 31, 2017, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $54,361, which resulted from litigation costs, the accrual of $2.8 million in damages, as well as the recording of a valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax asset of $3.5 million, which resulted in the Company recording a net loss of $4.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, thus bringing the Company below the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.
The Company must submit to the Exchange, by August 28, 2017, a plan advising of the actions the Company has taken or will take to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement by January 29, 2019.
Tel’s stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American while Tel works to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. 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.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
