Item 8.01	Other Events.

 

Global Boatworks Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions From Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”) to delay the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 10-K”) due to the circumstances related to COVID-19. In particular, COVID-19 has caused disruptions in our normal interactions with our auditors. The Company has a small accounting staff and historically we provided our auditors with full access to work papers and related information. Because the audit personnel are now working remotely as much as possibl,e as are our accounting personnel, this has slowed everyone’s workflow and the Company’s ability to complete its audit and file the 2019 10-K prior to its due date is delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects to file the 2019 10-K no later than May 14, 2020 (which is 45 days from the 2019 10-K’s original filing deadline of March 30, 2020).

 

In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will be including the following Risk Factor in its 2019 10-K, as may be updated to reflect subsequent events impacting the Company:

 

We are unable to predict the impact of COVID-19 on our company.

The Luxuria series of floating homes is constructed in marine facilities and appeals to those that seek a lifestyle that incorporates being on the water. Our product is more expensive than a traditional home built on land. Because of COVID-19 and the uncertainty surrounding economic conditions moving forward we cannot predict the willingness of buyers to absorb the additional cost of a luxury floating home as compared to a traditional home. Additionally, we cannot predict the availability of marine construction facilities or personnel during this time due to Broward County, Florida Administrator's Emergency Order 20-03 limiting which businesses may stay open. Our primary facility where the Luxuria I was constructed is located in Broward County, Florida.
