NARRATIVE

 

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

 

The compilation, review and dissemination of the information required to be presented on Registrant’s Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2020 could not be completed and filed by November 16, 2020 as required by 17 CFR 240.15d-13(a) without unreasonable effort or expense. The Registrant and its recently engaged Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (“Firm”) are evaluating Registrant’s internal controls, methodology and calculations surrounding certain valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Although Registrant is unable to file its Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2020 by the original due date of November 16, 2020, Registrant expects to file within the 5 calendar day grace period, as provided by Rule 12b-25.
