ZAP (the “Company”) was not able to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2011 on or before the filing deadline with the Securities Exchange Commission of May 16, 2011, because the Company required additional time for management to compile and verify the data required to be included in the report due to complexities related to the Company’s acquisition of 51% of the equity shares of Zhejiang Jonway Automobile Co., Ltd. on January 21, 2011. As a result, the Company was only able to complete its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2011 without unreasonable effort or expense on the day after the filing deadline, May 17, 2011.
