As previously disclosed by General Employment Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) in its Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 30, 2012, the Company dismissed BDO USA, LLP as its independent registered public accounting firm on November 26, 2012, and on November 29, 2012 engaged Friedman LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm. As a result of this change, the Company has been delayed in the filing of its Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and the filing of its Form 10-Q for the three month period ended December 31, 2012. On February 21, 2013, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from NYSE MKT, LLC (the “NYSE MKT”) which stated, among other things, that the Company has failed to timely file its Form 10-Q with the SEC for its quarter ended December 31, 2012, and that the timely filing of this report is a condition to the Company’s continued listing on the NYSE MKT pursuant to Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE MKT’s Company Guide. The Company has furnished a plan to the NYSE MKT, as previously required, advising the NYSE MKT of an action plan it has taken that will bring the Company in compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the NYSE MKT’s Company Guide by April 17, 2013. The Company and its new independent registered public accounting firm are working diligently to finalize the Company’s financial statements in order to allow the Company to file its annual report for its fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 and the quarterly report for the period ended December 31, 2012.
On February 27, 2013 a press release announcing the receipt of the letter from the NYSE MKT, LLC was issued. A copy of the press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
