DALLAS -- (Business Wire)
DGSE Companies, Inc. (NYSE MKT:DGSE) (“DGSE” or the “Company”),
received a continued listing standards notice from the NYSE MKT LLC (the
“MKT”) on April 20, 2017, because the Company has stockholders’ equity
of less than $6.0 million and net losses in its five most recent fiscal
years.
Nevertheless, DGSE continues to be pleased with the gains in its retail
business and expects to post a profit in the first quarter for the first
time in four years, which will push stockholders’ equity back over $6.0
million and into compliance with MKT listing standards. Moreover, DGSE
anticipates this turnaround to continue guiding the company in the
future toward its profitability goals.
DGSE strives to deliver an unrivaled customer experience through its new
Dallas Gold & Silver flagship store. It features a broad selection of
high-quality vintage and new jewelry, precious metal bullion, rare
coins, fine timepieces and diamonds, together with value pricing and a
customer-friendly sales process. Our strategy is to be an information
resource for clients, bring transparency to purchase and sale
transactions, and offer value and liquidity to those seeking to buy,
sell or trade jewelry, watches, diamonds or coins. DGSE prides itself on
offering the highest possible prices for old jewelry, with service
that's always courteous and professional.
The Company’s common stock continues to trade under the symbol “DGSE.”
As previously reported, the Company has submitted a plan to regain
compliance with MKT listing standards. The Company expects that it will
come back into compliance as a result of its first quarter 2017 results.
If the Company does not regain compliance with those standards by
October 12, 2017, or does not make progress consistent with the plan,
the MKT staff may commence delisting proceedings.
The Company's Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements
are not affected by the receipt of the MKT notification.

watches, and precious metal bullion and rare coin products through its
