Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
|
On November 20, 2012, Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (the “Registrant”) issued a press release relating to the receipt of a notice from the NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that the Registrant is not in compliance with NASDAQ listing rules because its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was not timely filed. The notice, which the Registrant expected, was issued in accordance with standard NASDAQ procedures as a result of the delayed filing. Timely filing of periodic reports is a requirement for continued listing under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5250(c)(1).
The delay in filing is due to the Registrant’s inability to timely process the financial information for the quarter and to present it to its independent registered public accounting firm for review and comment. The delay in processing this information is a result of the Registrant’s acquisition of Fenwick Automotive Products Limited and related companies in May 2011. This has consequently delayed the filing of the Registrant’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.
The Registrant continues to focus significant efforts on completing the processing of this information and expects to file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 next week and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 in December 2012.
The NASDAQ notice directs the Registrant to submit a plan by November 29, 2012 and to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements by December 26, 2012. The Registrant expects to address the notice by filing its Forms 10-Q and submitting a required compliance plan within such timeframe.
A copy of the press release relating to this issue is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for certain forward-looking statements. The statements contained in this Form 8-K that are not historical facts, including but not limited to, statements regarding the time for the Registrant to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules, are forward-looking statements based on the Registrant’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Registrant. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the Registrant) and are subject to change based upon various factors. Reference is also made to the Risk Factors set forth in the Registrant’s Form 10-K Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in September 2012 for additional risks and uncertainties facing the Registrant. The Registrant undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events or otherwise.
