Technical Communications Corporation Reports Nasdaq Notice of Continued Noncompliance and Acceptance of Modified Plan to Regain Compliance with Nasdaq Listing RuleCONCORD, Mass., May 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Technical Communications Corporation (NasdaqCM: TCCO) today announced that on May 20, 2019, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department of the Nasdaq Stock Market notified the Company that it was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to the company’s failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 as well as its continued failure to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2018 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 29, 2018. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires companies with securities listed on Nasdaq to timely file all required periodic reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Completion of the annual and quarterly reports has been impacted by the company’s review of its revenue recognition policy, which revealed errors in the company’s recognition of revenue for certain contracts resulting from a misinterpretation of accounting standards related to revenue recognition. TCC also expects to file restatements of the financial statements included in certain previously-filed periodic reports. Nasdaq also notified TCC that it had accepted the company’s modified plan to regain compliance with such rule, which permits the continued listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq granted the Company an extension until no later than July 15, 2019 to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2018 together with its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 29, 2018 and March 31, 2019, and any restatements to previously-filed periodic reports of the Company impacted by the company’s review of its revenue recognition policy. Nasdaq had previously granted an extension for the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for its 2018 fiscal year and Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 until May 10, 2019.
