13.  CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company is involved in legal matters and disputes in the ordinary course of business. We do not anticipate that the outcome of such matters and disputes will materially affect the Company’s financial statements.
 
On August 14, 2015 we received a notice from NASDAQ of non-compliance with its continuing listing rules, namely that our stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2015 of $2,373,371, as reported in our Form 10-Q for the quarter then ended, was less than $2,500,000 minimum. The failure to meet continuing compliance standards subjects our common stock to delisting. We have requested, and the NASDAQ has granted, a hearing to be conducted in March 2016, at which the Company will request an extension of time to effect transactions to allow us to regain compliance and to report the same. There can be no assurance that NASDAQ will grant the extension we are seeking as a result of the hearing, or that we will be able to effect such transactions on a timely basis or at all. The delisting of our common stock from NASDAQ may make it more difficult for us to raise capital on favorable terms in the future (see Note 17).
 
On January 21, 2016 we received a notice from NASDAQ of non-compliance with its listing rules regarding the requirement that the listed securities maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. Based upon the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets this requirement. However, the Rules also provide the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance (see Note 17).
