HONG KONG - Intelligent Living Application Group Inc. (NASDAQ: ILAG), a Hong Kong-based premium lockset manufacturer, has been granted an additional 180 days, until October 14, 2024, to meet the NASDAQ Capital Market's minimum bid price requirement.
The company was notified by NASDAQ on April 17, 2024, that it must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share to continue its listing.
The NASDAQ's decision comes after Intelligent Living confirmed it meets all other applicable initial listing standards, except for the bid price. The company has indicated it may undertake a reverse stock split to rectify the bid price shortfall. If the company's shares close at or above $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive business days during the extension period, NASDAQ will confirm compliance and close the matter.
Currently, Intelligent Living's shares remain listed and are trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbol "ILAG". The company plans to monitor its share price closely and explore options to regain compliance by the October deadline.
Intelligent Living has been manufacturing and selling high-quality mechanical locksets primarily to the North American market for over 40 years. The company holds the ISO9001 quality assurance certificate and various ANSI Grade 2 and Grade 3 standards. It continues to invest in automated product lines and the development of new products, including smart locks.
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding the company's intentions and potential actions to achieve compliance. These statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and changes in circumstances.

InvestingPro Insights
As Intelligent Living Application Group Inc. (NASDAQ: ILAG) navigates its way to meet NASDAQ's minimum bid price requirement, real-time data from InvestingPro provides a snapshot of the company's financial health and market performance.
With a market capitalization of just 8.21 million USD and a stock price that has significantly underperformed in the last year, down 58.28%, the challenges are evident. The Price / Book multiple as of the last twelve months ending Q2 2023 stands at a low 0.49, which, according to InvestingPro Tips, suggests the stock might be trading at a low valuation compared to the company's book value.
Despite these challenges, Intelligent Living holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, which is a positive sign of liquidity. Moreover, the company's liquid assets exceed its short-term obligations, providing some financial flexibility as it considers strategic options to boost its share price.
Still, with a negative revenue growth of -54.05% over the last twelve months as of Q2 2023, and a significant cash burn, the path to compliance with NASDAQ's requirements is steep. The company's quick cash burn rate is an important consideration, as highlighted by InvestingPro Tips.
