Item 8.01Other Events

 

On June 18, 2012, DGSE Companies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), received written notice that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) initiated a private investigation into certain accounting irregularities, disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated April 16, 2012 (the “Accounting Irregularities”), to determine whether any persons or entities engaged in, or are about to engage in, any possible violations of the federal securities laws. The Accounting Irregularities were initially brought to the SEC’s attention by the Company, and the Company continues to cooperate fully with the SEC staff in the investigation.

 

As announced by the Company on June 4, 2012, the Company was granted until at least October 31, 2012 by NYSE MKT (the “Exchange”) to regain compliance with its continued listing standards. The investigation by the Company and its forensic accountants is ongoing, and management of the Company is working to resolve the issues surrounding the Accounting Irregularities. Management of the Company expects to meet the October 31, 2012 target set by the Exchange for compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards (including meeting the applicable SEC reporting requirements) and resumption of trading in its securities.
