Executive Summary
Transdermal drug delivery device developer Sontra Medical has fallen below the listing threshold for continued listing of its shares on NASDAQ, and must submit a plan of action to the market's authorities by December 7. The Franklin Lakes, Massachusetts-based developer of continuous glucose measurement technology, based on its SonoPrep skin permeation device, had shareholder equity of $1.65m in late September, below the $2.5m threshold prescribed by NASDAQ. Companies must meet this, or one of two other criteria, for continued listing: $500,000 net income in the latest year (or in two of three most recent financial years); or $35m market capitalisation. The company has already this year fallen below the $1 per share minimum bid price criterion.
