Due to the delay in filing the Form 10-K as a result of the restatement, the Company was unable to dedicate its full resources to the preparation of its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Form 10-Q”) and, as a result, the Company is unable to timely file, without unreasonable effort or expense, the Form 10-Q. The Company intends to file the Form 10-Q within the five-day extension period.
