NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

The Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 cannot be filed within the prescribed time period because the compilation and review of its financial statements remains underway and has not yet been completed. 

 

In particular, due to the current lock down of Shanghai, China in response to the recent local outbreak of COVID-19, which started in late March and is ongoing, the working efficiency of the Company’s auditor and certain vendors and customers, who are located in Shanghai, have been adversely affected. As such, the Company and its auditor would need additional time to obtain audit confirmations from vendors and customers and complete the review/audit of the Company’s Annual Report.

 

The Company is working diligently to try to file the Company’s Annual Report on or before the 15^th calendar day following the prescribed due date.
