The Determination Letter notified the Company that since it had not filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 (the "2019 20-F") by May 13, 2020, the deadline by which the Company was to file the 2019 20-F in order to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), the Company's common stock is subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Determination Letter further noted that unless the Company requested an appeal of the Staff's determination no later than 4:00 pm Eastern Time on May 29, 2020, trading of the Company's common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market will be suspended at the opening of business on June 2, 2020, and a Form 25-NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") removing the Company's securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") under Listing Rule 5815(a) to present its plan to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which request will automatically stay the delisting of the Company's securities for 15 calendar days from the date of the request. In connection with its request for a hearing, the Company also intends to request a further stay of the suspension of trading and delisting of the Company's common stock while the appeals process is pending. The Panel will notify the Company of its decision if it will allow the Company's common stock to continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market pending the Panel's decision.

As disclosed previously, the Company is working assiduously to complete its delinquent filing with SEC and to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rule as soon as possible.
