Netguru (NASDAQ:NGRU)
Historical Stock Chart
From Jan 2020 to Jan 2025
netGuru, Inc. (Company) (Nasdaq:NGRU) is considering
delisting from Nasdaq and terminating its SEC reporting obligations,
while its board of directors continues to evaluate opportunities to
merge or sell all or part of its remaining operations.
Since November 2005, the special committee appointed by netGuru's
board of directors has been evaluating strategic alternatives and
options for the Company and its information technology, Web 4, and
engineering business process outsourcing businesses. Discussions with
a number of public and private entities continue to be held involving
potential asset purchases, common stock purchases, and reverse
mergers, but, to date, interest has been at levels substantially below
valuation indicated by recent stock price.
Currently, the Company's cash position is approximately $3.3
million, of which $1.1 million remains restricted in connection with
the sale of the REI division in November 2005, and another $1.4
million is reserved for operational commitments, leaving approximately
$800,000 in working capital and accessible cash.
Revenues are not expected to measurably increase during the next
six months and, although cost reductions have continued in force since
before the sale of REI, ongoing operations continue to cause net cash
usage. A substantial portion of those ongoing expenses is attributable
to being a Nasdaq-listed and SEC-reporting company.
As a result, the board has determined that it may not be
cost-effective for the Company to remain listed on Nasdaq and maintain
full-reporting status relative to its remaining operations.
Furthermore, as previously announced, the Company is not in compliance
with Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement for
continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Therefore, an
alternative under consideration to conserve resources and avoid
involuntary delisting is to voluntarily delist the Company's shares
from trading on Nasdaq and terminate the Company's SEC reporting
obligations under Sections 12 and 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
Considering the rate of cash usage in light of the Company's
current cash position, if a merger or sale on acceptable terms is not
consummated within the next few months, the Company intends to proceed
with steps to delist from Nasdaq and terminate its SEC reporting
obligations if the Company is then eligible to do so.
