PART III - NARRATIVE
State
below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 11-K, 20-F,
10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not
be filed within the prescribed time period.
As
previously reported on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 20,
2020, on such date, the Company filed a voluntary petition for
relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York
(the “Bankruptcy Filing”).
During the period leading up to and since the Bankruptcy Filing,
the Company has been principally engaged in addressing
bankruptcy-related matters. The Company’s financial, accounting and
administrative personnel and consultants have devoted substantially
all of their time to the maintenance of the Company’s ongoing
operations, including the development of the Company’s
post-petition strategy and negotiations with regard to the
potential sale of its assets.
As a
result of the increased burdens placed upon the Company’s
financial, accounting and administrative staff and consultants, as
described above, and the lack of Company financial resources
to devote to the preparation and audit of its financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the preparation of its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year (the “10-K”), the Company
will not be able to timely file the 10-K.
