Due to the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic on the business, consultants and service providers of Sincerity Applied Materials Holdings Corp, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), the Company is unable to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”) by the normally prescribed deadline of March 30, 2020. The Company plans to file its Annual Report by no later than May 14, 2020, 45 days after the original due date of its Annual Report, in reliance upon the exemption set forth in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s March 4, 2020 Order (Release No. 34-88318) (the “Order”), which under certain conditions exempts reporting companies form making certain filings required under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for up to 45 after the normally prescribed deadline.
The Company’s operations and business have experienced disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic spreading throughout Australia and the world. Melbourne, Australia where the Company and its independent auditor are headquartered, is currently under a state of emergency due to the coronavirus outbreak. The Company has been following the recommendations of both the state and federal governments to minimize exposure risk all parties involved in the business for the past several weeks, and, as a result, the Annual Report will not be completed by the filing deadline, due to insufficient time to facilitate the internal and external review process.
