Item 8.01 Other Events.
Avra
makes the following disclosure pursuant to an order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
on March 4, 2020, as amended on March 25, 2020, providing conditional relief to public companies that are unable to timely comply
with their filing obligations as a result of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak (the “SEC Order”).
The
current outbreak of COVID-19 has posed a significant impact on the Company to file on a timely basis its Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”) that is due on May 14, 2020 (the “Original
Due Date”), and therefore the Company elected to rely on the conditional filing relief provided under the SEC Order.
The
current outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States has resulted in the closing of our offices and has required our internal staff
to work remotely. Moreover, similar social distancing measures were taken by both our outside accountants and our independent
registered public accounting firm in order to protect the health of their employees. All of the foregoing has slowed the accounting
and auditing work required to compile our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 to be included the Quarterly
Report. Accordingly, we have decided to rely on the SEC Order and endeavor to file the Quarterly Report no later than June 29,
2020, or within 45 days after the Original Due Date.
The
adverse public health developments and economic effects of the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States could adversely affect the
Company’s operations as a result of quarantines, facility closures and logistics restrictions in connection with the outbreak.
More broadly, the outbreak could potentially lead to an economic downturn, which would likely decrease spending, adversely affecting
our business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company cannot accurately predict the effect the COVID-19 outbreak
will have on the Company.
Certain
of the statements contained in this report should be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are often identified
by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “will,” “believes,” “expects,”
“endeavors” or similar expressions, involving known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Although the Company
believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they do involve assumptions, risks
and uncertainties, and these expectations may prove to be incorrect. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including the risk factors discussed in the Company’s
periodic reports that are filed with the SEC and available on the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov). All forward-looking statements
attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these risk factors. Other
than as required under the applicable securities laws, the Company does not assume a duty to update these forward-looking statements.

to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf
