Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, the occurrence of any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our actual results. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
If we are unable to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, then our common stock would be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, which would limit investors ability to effect transactions in our common stock and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
On November 26, 2024, the Company received a deficiency letter (the Nasdaq Letter) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders equity for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the Stockholders Equity Requirement), nor was it in compliance with either of the alternative listing standards, either a market value of listed securities of at least $35 million or net income of $500,000 from continuing operations in the most recently completed fiscal year, or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years.
Pursuant to the Nasdaq Letter, the Company had 45 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq Letter to submit a plan to regain compliance. On January 10, 2025, the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance. In addition, on January 10, 2025, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K reporting that as a result of the Companys January 2025 public offering, that it believed that it had regained compliance with the Stockholders Equity Requirement. On January 23, 2025, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq that based on the Companys Form 8-K dated January 10, 2025, Nasdaq has determined that the Company complies with the Stockholders Equity Requirement and that if the Company fails to evidence compliance upon filing its next periodic report it may be subject to delisting, at which time Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company, which the Company may then appeal to a Hearings Panel.
The Company intends to take all reasonable measures available to maintain compliance under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and remain listed on Nasdaq. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in maintaining compliance with the Stockholders Equity Requirement and all applicable requirements for continued listing.
Neither the Nasdaq Letter nor our noncompliance have an immediate effect on the listing or trading of the our common shares, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol AMST.
If the Nasdaq Capital Market delists our common stock from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect the common stock would qualify to be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
|
| a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; |
|
| reduced liquidity for our securities; |
|
| substantially impair our ability to raise additional funds; |
-21-
|
| the loss of institutional investor interest and a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; |
|
| a determination that our common stock is a penny stock, which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities; |
|
| a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and |
|
| potential breaches of representations or covenants of our agreements pursuant to which we made representations or covenants relating to our compliance with applicable listing requirements, which, regardless of merit, could result in costly litigation, significant liabilities and diversion of our managements time and attention and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and results of operations. |
Our stock price is and may continue to be volatile and you may not be able to resell our common stock at or above the price you paid.
The market price for our common stock is volatile and may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which we cannot control, such as quarterly fluctuations in financial results, the timing and our ability to advance the development of our product candidates or changes in securities analysts recommendations could cause the price of our stock to fluctuate substantially. Each of these factors, among others, could harm your investment in our common stock and could result in your being unable to resell the shares of our common stock that you purchase at a price equal to or above the price you paid.
In addition, the stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that has at times been unrelated to the operating performance of the issuer. Between February 4, 2024 and February 4, 2025, the closing sales price of our common stock reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market ranged between $1.88 and $5.11 per share. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price or liquidity of our common stock. In the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the issuer. If any of our stockholders were to bring such a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit and the attention of our management would be diverted from the operation of our business.
We have not developed a strong customer base and we have not generated sustainable revenue since inception. There can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future. We will incur significant losses in launching products and we may not realize sufficient subscriptions or profits in order to sustain our business.
We have not yet developed a strong customer base and we have not generated sustainable revenue since inception. We are subject to the substantial risk of failure facing businesses seeking to develop and commercialize new products and technologies. Maintaining and improving our platform will require significant capital. We also incur substantial accounting, legal and other overhead costs as a public company. If our offerings to customers are unsuccessful, result in insufficient revenue or result in us not being able to sustain revenue, we will be forced to reduce expenses, which may result in an inability to gain new customers.
