ITEM 8.01—OTHER EVENTS

 

We are filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to indicate our reliance on the Order of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (Release No. 34-88465) in connection with filing our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as a result of the circumstances set forth below.

 

The members of our executive team and contract outside accountant live in different cities in Pennsylvania. On March 23, 2020, the Governor of Pennsylvania issued statewide stay-at-home orders to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Non-life-sustaining physical businesses, like our company, were closed. Individuals have been permitted to leave their residences only for tasks essential to maintaining health and safety. Although some counties in Pennsylvania will begin to reopen on May 8, 2020, Lancaster County, where we are located, is not among them. No date has been set for the stay-at-home order to be lifted in Lancaster County.

 

Although our management team has been able to remotely conduct some of our business, we have not been able to input the financial and other records required to generate financial statements. Accordingly, in reliance upon the Order, we expect to file Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, approximately 45 days after May 14, 2020.
