Results of Operations and Financial Condition
|
On August 10, 2020, Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “August 10 Press Release”) announcing certain financial results as described in the next paragraph. A copy
of the August 10 Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
Year-to-date sales through July 2020 were $31 million, down 27% from the same period in 2019. The decline was largely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which required the Company to temporarily close all
of its retail stores in March 2020; stores have been gradually reopening since late May 2020. Total sales for July 2020 were $5.1 million, down 5% from the same period last year. Cost savings initiatives, together with reductions in employment
costs from furloughed employees as a result of COVID-19 that we discussed in our June Annual Meeting and press release, are estimated to save $2-3 million in operating expenses through July. Impairment charges recognized in the first quarter of
2020 are expected to be $2.5 million, primarily related to operating lease assets. Cash and short-term securities at the end of July were $11.5 million.
| Item 3.01 |
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
|
On August 11, 2020, Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. (the “Company”) received a delisting determination letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying it that trading in the Company’s shares will be
suspended on Nasdaq effective with the open of business on August 13, 2020, and that the Company’s common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq via Nasdaq’s filing of a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) once all
applicable Nasdaq review and appeal periods have expired. The Company is considering whether to appeal the determination.
In accordance with the terms of the earlier decision issued on behalf of the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), the Company was required to file all outstanding periodic reports with the SEC by no later than August
10, 2020; however, the Company was unable to do so. August 10, 2020 represented the full extent of the Panel’s discretion in this matter and, as a result, the Panel was required to issue a delisting determination under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
The Company expects that its common stock may remain eligible to trade on the Over-the Counter Markets’ “Pink Sheets” under the current symbol “TLF” effective with the open of business on August 13, 2020. The
Company intends to reapply for Nasdaq listing once it has made the required filings.
The Company previously announced in the August 10 Press Release that it had not completed the required filings by August 10, 2020.
