WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On September 20, 2022, after trading hours, Schmitt announced that its previous financial statements as of August 31, 2021 and going forward “should no longer be relied upon” due to “certain errors” made by the Company, that it would “restate its previously filed quarterly financial statements for periods from August 31, 2021 forward,” and that “[t]he Company expects to report at least one material weakness following completion of its analysis of the cause of these restatements.”

Schmitt also announced that on September 14, 2022, the Company “received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ('Nasdaq') notifying us that we did not file our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2022 (the 'Form 10-K') by September 13, 2022, as required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).”
