PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
On May 3, 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) announced that it had settled charges against BF Borgers CPA PC (“BF Borgers”). As part of the settlement, BF Borgers agreed to a permanent ban on appearing or practicing before the SEC.
As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 6, 2024, the Company dismissed BF Borgers as its auditor, effective May 3, 2024, and on May 4, 2024, appointed Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLC (“SMC”) as its new auditor.
Due to the timing of the appointment of SMC, the Company was unable without unreasonable effort and expense to complete the review of the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 before the required filing date for the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Registrant intends to file the subject Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date.
