Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On March 4, 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued an order under Section 36 (Release No. 34-88318) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), granting exemptions from specified provisions of the Exchange Act and certain rules thereunder. On March 25, 2020, the order was modified and superseded by a new SEC order (Release No. 34-88465), which provides conditional relief to public companies that are unable to timely comply with their filing obligations as a result of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) outbreak (the “SEC Order”). The SEC Order provides that a registrant subject to the reporting requirements of Exchange Act Section 13(a) or 15(d), and any person required to make any filings with respect to such registrant, is exempt from any requirement to file or furnish materials with the Commission under Exchange Act Sections 13(a), 13(f), 13(g), 14(a), 14(c), 14(f), 15(d) and Regulations 13A, Regulation 13D-G (except for those provisions mandating the filing of Schedule 13D or amendments to Schedule 13D), 14A, 14C and 15D, and Exchange Act Rules 13f-1, and 14f-1, as applicable, if certain conditions are satisfied.

 

United Capital Consultants, Inc. (the “Company”) is relying on the SEC Order in light of the circumstances and uncertainty surrounding the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and is delaying the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”) by up to 45 days. In particular, the Company’s operations are primarily located in Arizona, which has imposed a continuing statewide lockdown, isolation and quarantine to address the COVID-19 pandemic. As a consequence, the Company’s head office is very thinly staffed, and the Company’s accounting personnel, who are generally working remotely, have only limited access to the Company’s financial records. In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has made collection of data slower and more difficult. Management is therefore currently unable to timely prepare and review the Annual Report or to determine COVID-19’s impact on the Company’s financial statements for the 2019 fiscal year. The Company will file its Annual Report by no later than May 14, 2020, which is 45 days after the original due date of its Annual Report.
