Item 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
Pursuant to the order
issued on March 4, 2020 by the Securities and Exchange Commission and as ordered under Section 36 of the Exchange Act of 1934,
that a registrant (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2) subject to reporting requirements of Exchange Act Section 13 (a) or 15
(d), will be exempt from filing for a period of 45 days from the due date of the filing. Provided the condition is met that the
registrant is unable to meet the filing deadline due to circumstances related to COVID-19.
We rely on this order
and that registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K could not be filed within the prescribed time period due to circumstances
related to COVID-19.
The COVID-19 pandemic
has impacted the ability of our employees and consultants to conduct in a timely manner the required audit procedures. In addition,
this condition has resulted in a delay in our ability to supply our auditors with the information required for them to complete
the audit for our annual report for the period ending December 31, 2019. These delays contributed to the registrant’s inability
to process and review the financial information required to file the annual report and complete the audit on Form 10-K by the date
required without incurring undue hardship.
The Form 10-K was due on March 30, 2020. This
order provides for a 45-day extension. It is our intention to file the Form 10-K by May 14, 2020.
The coronavirus outbreak could adversely
impact our business.
In December 2019, it was first reported that
there had been an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, in China. As the coronavirus continues to spread outside
of China, including throughout the United States, we may experience disruptions that could severely impact our business and regulatory
filings, including:
-
impact to the financial markets;
-
disruption in our ability to sell our product
in foreign markets;
-
disruption on our ability to source materials;
-
disruption in our ability to manufacture
our devices and disposables;
-
delays or difficulties in completing our
regulatory work;
-
limitations on our employee resources ability
to work, including because of sickness of employees or their families or the desire of employees to avoid contact with large groups
of people; and
-
additional repercussions on our ability
to operate our business.
The global outbreak of coronavirus continues
to rapidly evolve. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly
uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus, the ultimate
geographic spread of the coronavirus, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions imposed by countries we conduct our business,
business closures or business disruption in the world, a reduction in time spent out of home and the actions taken throughout the
world, including in our markets, to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact. The future impact of the outbreak is highly uncertain
and cannot be predicted, and we cannot provide any assurance that the outbreak will not have a material adverse impact on our operations
or future results or filings with regulatory health authorities. The extent of the impact to us, if any, will depend on future
developments, including actions taken to contain the coronavirus.
