Current report
To maintain listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we must satisfy minimum financial and other requirements including, without limitation, a requirement that our closing bid price be at least $1.00 per share. Plus, if a company’s security has a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for 10 consecutive trading days, the Listing Qualifications department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) will issue a delisting determination. Since 2023, we have experienced periods during which our Common Stock has traded below $1.00.
Current report
During 2023 and 2024, we received formal notices from the Nasdaq Staff that, based upon the closing bid price for our Common Stock, for the previous 30-consecutive business day period, the Company no longer satisfied the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). Since May 2023, the Company has effected the following eight reverse stock splits in order to maintain or regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule: a 1-for-250 reverse stock split on August 4, 2025, a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on June 2, 2025; a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on April 11, 2025; a 1-for-60 reverse stock split on February 18, 2025; a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on September 17, 2024; a 1-for-25 reverse stock split on May 4, 2023; a 1-for-9 reverse stock split on August 11, 2023 and a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on December 21, 2023. Plus, if needed, the Company may effectuate additional reverse stock splits.
Current report
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) states that if any listed company fails to meet the Bid Price Rule after effecting one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, then the company is not eligible for a Bid Price Rule compliance period. On September 16, 2024, in connection with a notice that the Company no longer satisfied the Bid Price Rule, the Staff further indicated that, based upon the Company’s implementation of one or more reverse stock splits within the past two years at a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one in contravention of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv). On September 17, 2024, the Company implemented a 1-for-100 reverse stock split, and on October 16, 2024, the Company announced that it had received formal notice from Nasdaq confirming the Company had regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
Current report
While Nasdaq rules do not impose a specific limit on the number of times a listed company may effect a reverse stock split to maintain or regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, Nasdaq has stated that a series of reverse stock splits may undermine investor confidence in securities listed on Nasdaq. Accordingly, if in the future the Company is not in compliance with the Bid Price Rule and effectuates another reverse stock split, Nasdaq may determine that it is not in the public interest to maintain our listing, even if we regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
Current report
On January 15, 2025, the Company received an expected notice from the Staff stating that the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC, because the Company had not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. The Company filed Form 10-K on January 24, 2025.
Current report
In addition, on February 25, 2025, we received a written notice from the Staff notifying us that for the last 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the notice, our Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was less than the $35.0 million minimum required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Listing Rule”). Additionally, as of the date of the notice, we also did not meet either of the alternative Nasdaq continued listing standards under the Nasdaq Listing Rules: stockholders’ equity of at least $2.5 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. The Company has until August 25, 2025 to regain compliance with the MVLS Listing Rule. In order to regain compliance with the MVLS Listing Rule, the Company’s MVLS must meet or exceed $35.0 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the 180-day compliance period after which the Staff will provide us written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. In the event we do not regain compliance with the MVLS Listing Rule, the Staff will provide notice that our securities will be subject to delisting, at which time, we may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the MVLS Listing Rule or otherwise maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
Current report
If our common stock ceases to be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we would expect that our common stock would be traded on one of the three tiered marketplaces of the OTC Markets Group (the “OTC Mkts”). If Nasdaq were to delist our common stock, it would be more difficult for our stockholders to dispose of our Common Stock and more difficult to obtain accurate price quotations on our Common Stock. Our ability to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or otherwise to arrange for any financing we may need in the future, may also be materially and adversely affected if our common stock or warrants are not listed on a national securities exchange. The OTC Markets are generally regarded as a less efficient trading market than The Nasdaq Capital Market or Global Market or the New York Stock Exchange.
Current report
Although the OTC Mkts do not have any listing requirements, to be eligible for quotation on the OTC Mkts, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. If we are not able to pay the expenses associated with our reporting obligations, we will not be able to apply for quotation on the OTC Board. Market makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. If we are delisted to the OTC Mkts and no market is ever developed for our Common Stock or warrants, it will be difficult for you to sell any shares you purchase in this offering. In such a case, you may find that you are unable to achieve any benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all.
Current report
During the past two years, the Company has effected several reverse stock splits and may effect additional reverse stock splits in the future, which may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our common stock and may have a dilutive effect on the ownership of existing stockholders.
Current report
Since May 2023, the Company has effected the following eight reverse stock splits in order to maintain or regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule: a 1-for-250 reverse stock split on August 4, 2025; a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on June 2, 2025; a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on April 11, 2025; a 1-for-60 reverse stock split on February 18, 2025; a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on September 17, 2024; a 1-for-25 reverse stock split on May 4, 2023; a 1-for-9 reverse stock split on August 11, 2023 and a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on December 21, 2023. Plus, if needed, the Company may effectuate additional reverse stock splits. The primary purpose for a future reverse stock split, should the Company choose to effect it, would be to increase the per share market price of its Common Stock to satisfy the Bid Price Rule and maintain listing The Nasdaq Capital Market.
Current report
The liquidity of the shares of our Common Stock may be affected adversely by a reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following the reverse stock split, especially if the market price of our Common Stock does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split. In addition, a reverse stock split may increase the number of shareholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our Common Stock, creating the potential for such shareholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty effecting such sales.
Current report
While we expect that the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock will proportionally increase the market price of our Common Stock, we cannot assure you that a reverse stock split will increase the market price of our Common Stock by a multiple of the reverse stock split ratio, or result in any permanent or sustained increase in the market price of our Common Stock. The market price of our Common Stock will continue to be based, in part, on our performance and other factors unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. A reverse stock split will reduce the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock without reducing the number of shares of available but unissued Common Stock, which will also have the effect of increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance. The issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock may have a dilutive effect on the ownership of existing stockholders. The current economic environment in which we operate, the debt we carry, along with otherwise volatile equity market conditions, could limit our ability to raise new equity capital in the future.
Current report
In addition, a reverse stock split will reduce the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, which may lead to reduced trading and a smaller number of market makers for our Common Stock, particularly if the price per share of our Common Stock does not increase as a result of a reverse stock split.
Current report
If we are unable to successfully transition our manufacturing operations to our Tunica, Mississippi, facility, our production schedules and operating results could be adversely affected.
Current report
If we are unable to successfully transition manufacturing operations for Bollinger Motors from our third-party outsourced manufacturer in Michigan to our Tunica, Mississippi, facility, we may not achieve desired efficiencies, and our ability to deliver products to our customers could be disrupted. We are relocating machinery, equipment, and inventory from our Michigan-based outsourced manufacturing partner to our commercial manufacturing center in Tunica, Mississippi. Bollinger Commercial products are already set up for production but are currently idle. This transition involves complex logistics, installation, and integration of manufacturing processes into the Tunica facility. If we encounter unforeseen challenges such as equipment installation delays, production ramp-up issues, or unexpected costs, our manufacturing timelines and operating results could be adversely affected.

Previous report
Bollinger has been placed in receivership, which means the Company could lose its entire investment.
Previous report
On May 7, 2025, in connection with the complaint filed by Robert Bollinger alleging breach of contract by Bollinger Motors under an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note for $10.0 million dated October 24, 2024, the U,S, District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (the “Court”) entered an order (the “Receivership Order”) placing Bollinger into receivership. The court appointed a receiver for the purpose of managing, protecting, preserving, operating, and selling some or all of Bollinger’s assets for the benefit and protection of Robert Bollinger, Bollinger Motors, and Bollinger Motors’ other creditors and stakeholders. Pursuant to the Receivership Order, the receiver’s responsibilities include oversight of all aspects of the management, assets, and operation of Bollinger Motors’ business, as well as the decision on whether to sell Bollinger Motors as a going concern, or to sell any or all of its assets by liquidation. Under the terms of the Receivership Order, all persons and entities with direct or indirect control over any Bollinger Motors assets are restrained and enjoined from directly or indirectly transferring, setting off, receiving, changing, selling, pledging, assigning, liquidating, or otherwise disposing of or withdrawing such assets. As a result, the shareholder and board of Bollinger have ceded control of Bollinger’s operations and assets to the receiver.
Previous report
We acquired a majority ownership of Bollinger Motors in September 2022 for $148.6 million in stock and cash and invested an additional $23.7 million during the period July 2024 through March 2025. We currently own 72.7% of Bollinger Motors. Pursuant to the receivership, we are currently unable to access or control the assets of Bollinger Motors, including the ability to sell Bollinger Motors vehicles. We are also prohibited from obtaining information from Bollinger’s books and records and from making investments or undertaking activities that we would have otherwise pursued to settle certain disputes (including disputes with creditors) without leave of the Court. Since the receiver may seek Court approval to sell all of the assets of Bollinger Motors without our consent, we may lose the entire value of our ownership in Bollinger Motors as a result of such transaction.
