I continue to believe there exists a timely opportunity to disrupt the current prescription lens retail market and highly fragmented global optical industry paradigm”. 

Cevasco continued, “I also want to address our filing of our still pending 2015 Form 10K. As you know, we filed a notification of late filing with the SEC on March 30, 2016 indicating we needed more time to complete our financials as a result of last year’s merger. There remains a technical issue relating to the aggregate market value of the Company following the merger and the reverse split that has delayed the filing. We are seeking guidance from the SEC and expect to get the filing completed as soon as reasonably possible.”
