The Company did file its plan with NASDAQ within the required 60 days and was granted additional time to file its delinquent financial statements.   On August 29, 2012, Company received a letter from NASDAQ notifying the Company that for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on NASDAQ based on Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), and describing a timetable for bringing the Company into compliance with that rule.  The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until February 25, 2013, to regain compliance, in accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). The Company continued to meet all other applicable standards for initial listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market (other than the minimum bid price requirement).   In February 2013, the Company presented its plan for coming back into compliance with the filing requirements of Listing Rule 5250(c) to the NASDAQ Listing Qualification Panel and was granted continued listing is subject to the following conditions:   1.              On or before June 30, 2013, the Company shall have restated financial statements for fiscal 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”);   2.              On or before July 31, 2013, the Company shall file its Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 31, 2012; and   3.              On or before August 9, 2013, the Company shall file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.   On June 26, 2013, the Company submitted a request to the NASDAQ Listing Qualification Panel to amend the foregoing conditions to the following conditions:   1.              On or before July 31, 2013, the Company shall file (a) its 2012 Form 10-K, which shall include its restated financial statements for fiscal 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and (b) its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, which shall include its restated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and its financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, with the SEC; and   2.              On or before August 9, 2013, the Company shall file the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 with the SEC.   The NASDAQ Listing Qualification Panel granted the Company’s request for an amendment of the conditions on July 1, 2013.   On March 1, 2013, NASDAQ granted the Company a second 180 day grace period to comply with the minimum bid price requirements of Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).  The filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the accompanying Annual Report on Form 10-K has satisfied these requirements the first of the amended conditions imposed by the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel for continued listing with respect to the Company’s delinquent filings; however the Company must meet the minimum bid price requirements of Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) prior to August 26, 2013 to continue the listing of its common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market.  The Company plans to monitor its bid price and if necessary will seek stockholder approval to effect a reverse split in order to increase its bid price to a level sufficient to comply with this rule. </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaDisclosure for removal of a listed security from the exchange on which the entity trades during the reporting period.No definition available.false0Delisting NoticesfalseDelisting NoticesUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnowntruefalsefalseSheethttp://www.lime-energy.com/role/DisclosureDelistingNotices12
