Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01

Other Events

(a) Pursuant to SEC Release No. 34-88465 (March 25, 2020) (the “Order”), the Registrant is currently unable to complete and file its Form 10-Q Quarterly Report on a timely basis as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and operations. As required by the Order:

(b) (1) Registrant is relying on the Order in filing this Report and taking the actions stated;

(2) Registrant provides distribution and integration of advanced low altitude UAV systems, services and products. As a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the social distancing limitations placed on staff members, its suppliers and customers, has significantly affected the ability of Registrant to continue its operations while completing the work necessary to file the Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 on a timely basis;

(3) Registrant estimates that it will file the Form 10-Q report on or before July 1, 2020;

(4) The risk factors related to the impact of COVID-19 on Registrant’s business are:

Integration and distribution aspects of Registrant’s business have been significantly affected due to the social distancing requirements mandated by the federal and state governments where Registrant’s operations occur. For some businesses, like Registrant’s, much of the integration and distribution of its core products and delivery of its core services cannot always be done through “virtual” means, and even when this is possible, it requires significant capital and time to achieve. If Registrant is unable to meet the demand for its products and services due to limited capital or limited staff because of social distancing, its ability to expand its business and market will be at risk.
