8.01 Other Events
The
Corporation is unable to meet the filing deadline for the filing of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2020 due to
circumstances related to COVID-19. The headquarters of the Corporation are located in the City of Xianning, Hubei Province in
China which is adjacent to the City of Wuhan - the zero center of this COVID-19 epidemic. As majority of the Corporation’s
business divisions are located in Hubei Province, and since the entire province remains under strict quarantine control, the entire
business operations of the Corporation has been restricted since January 2020, and only recently are people permitted to travel
openly in Hubei Province. We are working closely with the local government agencies in an attempt to restart our local operations.
The
Corporation is relying on SEC Release No. 34-88465 dated March 25, 2020 to delay the filing of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
April 30, 2020 for an extension on the filing due date to 45 days after the original due date and will work diligently to comply
with such requirements.
Additional
risk factor disclosure
Following
is a risk factor relating to COVID-19.
Our
results of operations could in the future be materially adversely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).
On
January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health
Emergency of International Concern.” On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”.
The significant outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that is adversely affecting the economies and
financial markets worldwide, including the businesses which we operate and own a percentage of. The recent market decline and
volatility in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic could also materially and adversely affect any future potential acquisitions.
Furthermore, with restrictions on travel, the limited ability to have meetings with personnel, vendors and services providers
are expected to have an adverse effect on our businesses. While the Company expects the effects of the pandemic to negatively
impact its results from operations, cash flows and financial position, the current level of uncertainty over the economic and
operational impacts of COVID-19 means the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company has
experienced customer delays and extensions for projects, supply chain delays, furloughs of personnel, increased utilization of
telework, increased safety protocols to address COVID-19 risks, decreased installations and other impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company is proactively working to adjust its operations to properly reflect the market environment during the immediate pandemic
while maintaining sufficient resources for the expected rebound later this year. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our businesses
will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge
concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others. If the disruptions
posed by COVID-19 or other matters of global concern continue for an extensive period of time, our operations may be materially
adversely affected.
