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, the occurrence of any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our actual results. The following description of risk factors includes any material changes to risk factors associated with our business, financial condition and results of operations 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 October 28, 2025 we received a deficiency letter (the Nasdaq Letter) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) notifying us that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires us to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders equity for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the Stockholders Equity Requirement), nor were we 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, we had 45 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq Letter to submit a plan to regain compliance. We submitted our plan of compliance on December 10, 2025 and on January 8, 2026, Nasdaq granted an extension until April 27, 2026 to evidence compliance.
On May 4, 2026, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq that based upon the Form 8-K dated April 28, 2026, the Staff has determined that the Company complies with Nasdaq listing Rule 5550(b)(1). However, if the Company fails to evidence compliance within its next periodic report that it may be subject to delisting. At that time, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company, which the Company may then appeal to a Nasdaq 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 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; |
-202-
|
| 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. |
