Intelligent Living Application Group Inc. (ILAG) confirmed that it has met Nasdaq’s $1 minimum bid‑price requirement, having maintained a closing bid price of $1.00 or higher for ten consecutive trading days from December 30, 2025 through January 13, 2026. Nasdaq notified the company on January 14, 2026, and the news was released to the public on January 15, 2026. The compliance was largely enabled by a 1‑for‑10 reverse stock split that took effect on December 30, 2025, which lifted the share price above the exchange’s threshold.
ILAG’s financial performance in the first half of 2025 was markedly weaker than the prior year. Revenue fell 48.5% to $2.3 million from $4.8 million in the same period of 2024, while the company posted a net loss of $5.3 million, an increase of 137% year‑over‑year. Gross margin contracted to 19.6% from 28.4% in H1 2024, reflecting higher cost of goods sold and a shift toward lower‑margin mechanical locksets.
The decline is driven by two primary headwinds. First, a surge in U.S. tariffs on imported lock components has increased input costs without a corresponding price lift. Second, a slowdown in the U.S. real‑estate market has reduced demand for new lock installations, especially in the residential and commercial segments. As a result, ILAG suspended the development and release of its smart‑lock line to conserve cash and focus on its core mechanical product portfolio.
CEO Bong Lau said the company is “striving to optimize our product mix and source of origin composition to improve our performance.” He added that the pause on smart‑lock development is a cost‑saving measure in response to the tariff impact and the real‑estate slowdown, underscoring the company’s focus on short‑term liquidity and operational efficiency.
While regaining Nasdaq compliance removes the immediate threat of delisting, ILAG’s underlying financial health remains fragile. The company’s market capitalization is roughly $8 million, and its trailing‑twelve‑month net loss of $6.8 million on $5.3 million in revenue signals a negative profit margin of 126.8%. Analyst coverage is neutral, reflecting concerns about sustained revenue decline and high operating costs.
The company’s next steps will likely involve tightening cost controls, exploring new revenue streams within its mechanical lock business, and reassessing the feasibility of re‑entering the smart‑lock market once macro conditions improve. Maintaining Nasdaq listing status provides a platform for future capital raising, but the company must address its core profitability challenges to create long‑term shareholder value.
