Item 8.01                                           Other Events.

 

Our total stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2018, as reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2018, was $2,291,000, which was below The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC’s minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2,500,000, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).  Subsequent to quarter end, on July 25, 2018, we issued and sold an aggregate of 4,427,563 shares of our common stock at the subscription price of $0.50 per share, pursuant to a rights offering to existing stockholders, and received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.2 million before deducting offering expenses.  After giving effect to the issuance of our common stock in the rights offering, we believe that, as of the date of this report, we have in excess of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity and therefore satisfy Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).
