Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Nocera, Inc. reported that Nasdaq has notified the company its stock no longer meets the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, triggering a 180‑day compliance period ending August 3, 2026. The shares continue trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol NCRA while the company evaluates options.

The board replaced prior auditor Enrome LLP with SFAI Malaysia PLT, noting Enrome’s past reports contained no adverse opinions and there were no disagreements or reportable events. Directors also approved a one‑time bonus for the CEO equal to 10% of total net proceeds from certain financing transactions.

Nocera completed its previously announced $2,000,000 Bitcoin treasury allocation by purchasing the remaining $1,000,000 tranche on January 29, 2026, acquiring approximately 12 Bitcoin at an average price of about $83,000 per Bitcoin.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency: Nocera received a Nasdaq letter stating its shares failed to meet the $1.00 per share minimum bid price for 30 consecutive business days, starting a 180‑day compliance period and creating potential future delisting risk if compliance is not regained.

Insights

Nasdaq bid-price deficiency and Bitcoin treasury use introduce added risk, partly offset by an orderly auditor transition.

The notice that Nocera failed Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price standard is a clear governance and liquidity concern. The company has a 180‑day window to regain compliance, with possible extension, but future listing status depends on sustaining closing bids at or above this threshold.

The switch from Enrome LLP to SFAI Malaysia PLT is framed as an orderly change: prior audit opinions were not adverse, and the company reports no disagreements or reportable events. That language reduces the likelihood investors interpret the auditor change as signaling accounting problems.

Completing the $2,000,000 Bitcoin allocation, including about $1,000,000 for approximately 12 Bitcoin on January 29, 2026, ties a defined portion of corporate funds to a volatile asset. The impact on future results will depend on Bitcoin price movements and any subsequent treasury decisions disclosed in later filings.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On February 2, 2026, Nocera, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period from December 17, 2025 through January 30, 2026, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”).

 

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 3, 2026 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If at any time during the Compliance Period the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation that the Company has regained compliance and the matter will be closed.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance during the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period, subject to meeting the other continued listing standards and providing written notice of its intent to cure the deficiency, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

 

The Nasdaq letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NCRA.” The Company is currently evaluating its options to regain compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

 

Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

 

On January 28, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved the appointment of SFAI Malaysia PLT (“SFAI”), a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)-registered public accounting firm, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. SFAI was appointed to replace Enrome LLP (“Enrome”), the Company’s prior independent registered public accounting firm. Enrome resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm as of the Effective Date.

 

In its reports on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, filed with Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on June 20, 2025, Enrome did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

 

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, there were no: (i) disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with Enrome on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure; or (ii) reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

During the same periods, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with SFAI regarding the matters described in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.

 

The Company provided Enrome with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and requested that Enrome furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made herein. A copy of Enrome’s letter dated February 3, 2026 is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this report.
