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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
