“We are working with our independent auditor, Haynie & Company, to finalize both our 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022,” said VirTra co-CEO and Chairman Bob Ferris. “Our team is working diligently to file our financial reports with the SEC while working with Nasdaq to maintain our listing.”
Under Nasdaq rules, VirTra has 60 calendar days to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
