Item 8.01 Other Events.
The
board of directors and management of Smartmetric, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), has determined that,
in light of the circumstances and uncertainty surrounding the effects of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic on the Company’s
business, employees, consultants and service providers, the Company will delay the filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q
for the period ended March 31, 2020 (the “Quarterly Report”) by up to 45 days in accordance with the SEC’s Order
under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions From the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements
for Public Companies dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”), which allows for the delay of certain
filings required under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s operations and business have experienced
disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic spreading throughout the United States and the
world and it is unable to timely review and prepare the Quarterly Report. The Company will file its Quarterly Report by no later
than June 29, 2020, 45 days after the original due date of its Quarterly Report.
Below
is a risk factor regarding the coronavirus that the Company’s stockholders and potential investors in the Company should
consider with respect to the year that will end on June 30, 2020.
We
face risks related to Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) which could significantly disrupt our research and development, operations,
sales, and financial results.
Our
business will be adversely impacted by the effects of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). In addition to global macroeconomic effects,
the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and any other related adverse public health developments will cause disruption to our
operations and sales activities. Our third-party manufacturers, third-party distributors, and our customers have been and will
be disrupted by worker absenteeism, quarantines and restrictions on employees’ ability to work, office and factory closures,
disruptions to ports and other shipping infrastructure, border closures, or other travel or health-related restrictions. Depending
on the magnitude of such effects on our activities or the operations of our third-party manufacturers and third-party distributors,
the supply of our products will be delayed, which could adversely affect our business, operations and customer relationships.
In addition, the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) or other disease outbreak will in the short-run and may over the longer term adversely
affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that will affect demand for our
products and services and impact our operating results. There can be no assurance that any decrease in sales resulting from the
Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) will be offset by increased sales in subsequent periods. Although the magnitude of the impact of
the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak on our business and operations remains uncertain, the continued spread of the Novel
Coronavirus (COVID-19) or the occurrence of other epidemics and the imposition of related public health measures and travel and
business restrictions will adversely impact our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. In addition,
we have experienced and will experience disruptions to our business operations resulting from quarantines, self-isolations, or
other movement and restrictions on the ability of our employees to perform their jobs that may impact our ability to develop and
design our products and services in a timely manner or meet required milestones or customer commitments.
