PART II -- RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

 

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.)

 

☒	(a)	The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
☒	(b)	The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
	(c)	The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

 

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 portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

The Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (the “Annual Report”) cannot be filed within the prescribed time period because the Registrant requires additional time to finalize the Annual Report and the financial statements included therein. The Company has encountered a delay in assembling the information in connection with the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and, therefore, was unable to complete the Annual Report without unreasonable effort or expense. The Registrant and independent accountants are working to complete the Annual Report as expeditiously as possible. The Registrant’s current expectation is that the Annual Report that is subject hereof will be filed within the time frame allowed by the extension.

	Ronghua Wang		86-29		33686638

If the answer is no, identify report(s).
	Yes  ☒ No ☐
(3)	Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
	Yes  ☐ No ☒
	If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
