PART III
NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K could not be filed within the prescribed time period. During the annual period ended December 31, 2018 (The registrant also late filed its annual 10-K report for 2017 and quarterly 10-Q reports in the first 2018), the registrant continued to experience considerable financial constraints. These financial constraints have postponed the ability of the registrant’s auditors from performing audit procedures and in starting the financial audit process and thus resulted in delays in the preparation and presentation of financial information. These delays contributed to the registrant’s inability to process and review the financial information required to file the annual report and complete its audit on Form 10-K by the date required without incurring undue hardship and expense.

 

The registrant will make every effort to file its Form 10-K within the permitted extension period.
