| Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing On August 17, 2009, Natural Health Trends Corp. (the "Company") received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market providing notification that the Company is not in compliance with the $2.5 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). As of June 30, 2009, the date of the Company's most recently filed financial statements, the Company's total stockholders' equity was $2.0 million. As a result of the Company's failure to meet the requirements of Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), the Company has until September 1, 2009 to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance. The Company intends to submit its plan to achieve and sustain compliance to Nasdaq before this deadline. If the Company's plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension until November 30, 2009 for the Company to evidence compliance with Marketplace Rule 5550(b)(1). However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement and remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. A copy of a related press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1. Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits (a) Financial statements: Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized. |
